Ok, I am a newb at ROMing Android devices.
A few days back I wanted to put a custom ROM on my phone; a Moto G 4G LTE
I mistakenly thought it was a typical XT1032 (plain Moto G)
So, I flashed the ROM and then everything went to hell. :crying:
I could not boot, I couldn't recover, I couldn't do anything. I tried different ROMs and they didn't help. I tried to flash for days back to stock by downloading just about every stock ROM available and nothing worked. Finally, I found someone on this forum who posted the 4G LTE stock ROM, after about 30 hours of messing with the darn thing.
(Moto G 4G LTE Stock ROM) So, I downloaded the following ROM posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53660639&postcount=1
I then ran:
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
DONE :laugh:
It is back! It made about 10 "beeps" upon first boot, but it works fine so far!
Whew! Man, what an ordeal. Well, I learned a lot and now I know to be very very damn sure that the model I have is what I think it is.

Did you try to "normal reboot" after in the bootloader? Did that work? If you did, and it worked, then try to power off and reboot.
The first boot after flash for me went back to the bootloader, but I just selected "normal bootup" and it was fine after that. It made a bunch of beeps on boot, but everything seems to be working normally.

UK xt1092 received

The title should have "update"... Thanks autoincorrect.
Sent from my XT1052 using XDA Free mobile app

Mine's just on the way down.

Just got mine but it won't update. I have no idea why. Maybe it's because I have a custom recovery?
It says it's expected to have a version ie victara and I have cm_victara. Any one know how to get this to update? My phone is currently rebooting constantly unless I turn it off myself.

Custom recovery is why. Look for guides to reflash

I just used multi tool to install the stock recovery and wipe but it still won't work. Any ideas?

Please can someone upload the GB Retail firmware for the XT1092 if they have now got this successfully. Thanks!

Thats interesting, so the EU and GB versions have the same baseband.
Might be alright to stick to the EU firmware for now then, maybe it gets the next update faster

There's nothing on the surface to mark it out as being GB specific.
To be fair, I'm not sure a week's update difference is enough for me to care.

It's a factory image you can flash it over anything you currently have running. Open the Multi tool folder and you will see some called 'msfastboot' Make a new folder on your desktop and place that in there, then download the factory image I gave you the link for and extract it into the same folder you placed the msfastboot into. Then, whilst in that folder hold the shift key on your keyboard and then right click on your mouse and select 'open a command window here' Then put your phone in fastboot by turning it off and holding the power and volume down keys at the same time. Then, in the terminal you opened earlier type these commands one at a time:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

Multi-Tool is made for the XT1095, so that's probably why. It even says that in the title.
You can use my guide here, to convert your phone back to XT1092 and get RETEUALL instead.

I wouldn't bother with the RETEU version if you're in the UK, the link I gave you is to the official RETGB factory image. As regards your problem try putting the msfastboot in your ADB folder and also extract your RETGB zip into the same folder, then open up a terminal in that folder and run the commands. Also, have you put your phone in fastboot and let Window automatically install the fastboot driver for your device?
Edit to add: If you are having problems though the RETEU is the same and you'll still receive official OTA's in the future. Just try what I typed above and if all else fails follow the other posters guide to install rthe RETEU version.

Got it. I actually almost couldn't find my ADB folder. Somehow I didn't have in C: and had it installed in my documents folder. dumb.
But yeah I managed to get it. This means I get all future OTAs right? and Even if I don't I could still use that method to update? And thanks so much guys. Really appreciate it, I thought I was never going to get Lollipop on this.

Yes, you will get all future OTA's. This is an official RETGB retail image. It's exactly what you would have got if you had received the OTA normally, but instead of upgrading you've done a fresh install.

Is there a way to flash 4.4.4 images again? i went straight to L when i got my phone and didn't get a chance to test it out on kitkat, but it fails to flash the partition or motoboot image as the current version is too high, do you know how to bypass the checks?

Thank you for your link.
Could I ask, If i flash this over my european moto x will it turn it into a GB version in settings and receive future OTA updates? I assume it should.
Likewise do I need to unlock my boot loader to flash this, or will putting into fast boot do.
Thanks for your advice in advance.

Yes and yes and no you don' t need to unlock. But why do this as the reteu model received the update before the retgb model, you can just sideload the ota if you didn't get it yet?

[XT1063] downgrade to 21.11.17 4.4.4 then update to 22.21.28 5.0.2

Bootloader unlock required to avoid downgrade PIV Signature errors in fastboot.

http://motofirmware.com/files/download/950-retuglb-xt1063-444-kxb2185-17-cid9-cfcxmlzip/
I flashed firmware using @Shawn5162's scrpt, but replaced the 21.11.23 files with the ones from the link above.

I presume that you MAY NOT have to flash whole rom, if you 'JUST' flashed the needed version of recovery then you can upgrade with a OTA zip (can't test as only got xt1068) maybe someone can test this - but obviously some OTA's rely on being updated in order.

This is for XT1063 Only!

Bootloader can easily be locked. I've done it & even made a one click to do it as well. However I was able to update to 5.0 without the bootloader being locked. I'm back on KitKat for the third time. I'm not willing to give up root & deal with all the bugs of L.
There is also a custom ROM in these forms that run smoother than the stock & easier to install but still has the root bug.

What model do you have?
I can assure you I am not new at this, I bought my phone from Amazon with 21.11.23 and there was an addition added at some point that prevents a downgrade and in turn does not allow the system to be flashed with a locked or unlocked bootloader if you start with the command Fastboot oem lock begin.
if you have an XT1063 please tell me how you locked your bootloader without modifying anything that will then be unreversable.
Don't take it the wrong way, but I have seen people create tools that edit the hex to show bootloader locked then they can no longer unlock it or corrupt the phone and brick.

ETA: I'm not going to get upset over anything in a forum. I just post info to the best of my knowledge in hope to be helpful to someone else. Sometimes that changes as more knowledge is gained.
I have a xt1063 .17 & I did use "fastboot oem lock begin" I don't remember every command but the one click also restored the stock firmware at the same time. I'll have to look at my files in a few. I only made about 20 one clicks & was writing & rewriting a how to guide all at the same time as I was trying to figure it out & get on 5.0 all at the same time. Like I said tho my bootloader is unlocked again & it doesn't seem to affect the ability to flash OTA.

I never said anything about needing to relock it. I just said I have not been able to for those of us that want 5.0.1 and want to lock the bootloader. If you are able to price steps on how you downgraded from 5.0 and locked the boot loader I sure would want to try it myself.
Ideally I would add in the commands above fastboot OEM lock begin and fastboot OEM unlock for those who want a relocked boot loader before flashing the otas. Its just not possible if you are not on 21.11.17 to begin with because of the signed zip downgrade verification

Stating that it didn't need locked to flash 5.0 is just added info for anyone fallowing the thread & based on my experience. That may change for flashing 5.0.1.
These commands was ran from a modified 21.11.17 build to lock the bootloader. I thought I read ether in this thread or another thread that you already found a way to flash back to the stock firmware 21.11.17 without the downgrade error. If your on stock 21.11.17 now then you could give the lock command a try from mfastboot. I restored a Nandroid to get back to KitKat from Lollipop.
The one click I made was for those that had tampered with their stock 21.11.17 & wanted to be back to stock & locked. I didn't even know there was a 21.11.23 build at the time.

If your on stock 21.11.17 now then you could give the lock command a try from mfastboot. I restored a Nandroid to get back to KitKat from Lollipop.
The one click I made was for those that had tampered with their stock 21.11.17 & wanted to be back to stock & locked. I didn't even know there was a 21.11.23 build at the time.

I flashed firmware using @Shawn5162's scrpt, but replaced the 21.11.23 files with the ones from the link above.

or you can do it manually via fastboot:
adb reboot bootloader
Fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
Fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
Fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

Fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
Fastboot erase modemst1
Fastboot erase modemst2
Fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
Fastboot flash erase cache
Fastboot flash erase userdata
fastboot reboot
Then I applied all the following OTAs successfully:
Note: download and copy all OTAs to SD card downloads folder then install via STOCK Recovery apply update from SD Card

Please hit the thanks if it worked and report back. This should help all those stuck on 22.11.6. Please make sure you go all the way back to 21.11.17 first before reporting back.
P.S.
Still unable to lock bootloader.

You will get updates. You can Root, however I do not think there is a stable root yet. If you unlock your boot loader it will format, if you already unlocked your boot loader then you will not loose your data.

Yes an unlocked boot loader has no effect on anything except the abity to flash a custom recovery. If your unlocked and have it all stock, then you should be good

Flash it manually using mfastboot command.

I have a doubt, i purchased a moto z with at&t México and flashed the retail firmware of this thread for my country and works fine, but when i enter in bootloader mode the info of the Phone shows that my Phone is a sheridan version, so i'm confused, what version i have? ��

Keep in mind depending on the region you're flashing you may have a different number of sparse chunks (I think VZW has like 16, where as stock has like 13) You just enter the amount of sparse chunks you need to flash.

I would just root yourself then. I couldn't get systemless root to work with the current TWRP available so I just flashed a forced System ROOT instead.

Download from there and flash it in TWRP. But say goodbye to Android pay obviously

:/ Ok; try as I might I cannot seem to get my Moto Z to boot if I have SuperSU installed. My bootloader is unlocked, and I've been able to flash different ROMS with no problem. But if I try to install SuperSU (v2.78-SR1) to a working ROM, or install JanJan's pre-rooted US ROM, then Android simply never boots. I just downloaded the three more recent versions of SuperSU to give them a try, but does anyone have any suggestions of what I might be doing wrong here?

Sounds to me like you need a different Boot image then. I flashed the boot.img that was disabled force encryption, then flashed the System mode SuperSU. No issues at all. US Moto Z 64 GB model.

link to indian firmware...not able to download it as filefactory.com is restricted... tried via apn also still a no go...can anyone download it and upload it to other server??

Motorola claims that they have solved all the reported issues except heating because of its board.
Many people have found that notification volume is decreased to 30%.
Could you share detailed information about what is included in update?

Have you reported this with Motorola?

If you are using unrooted phone the I would suggest you to report this with Motorola. Let us know how do they respond and if they are willing to offer any quick solution to this issue.

first thing first: I have rooted using systemless root method. so if I update to this latest patch will I have to root it again? and will it be a complete factory reset or I can expect my apps persisting after update?

Same thing happened to me ! What I did is I just gave my mobile to service centre they flashed original firmware( don't forget to remove warning image )

I got this update and after updating, I am facing low notification sound.
Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

By my ear notification sound is about 60% what it was before (this is sitting two devices next to each other and comparing the updated device at max volume with the non-updated device, when the nud's volume bar was at ~60℅ they sounded equal). Incidentally 100℅ on the non-updated device was probably a bit too loud.
I've contacted Moto and requested they acknowledge the issue and provide a timeframe for a solution; I have threatened to return both devices to my supplier. I'll share the reply.

The US unlocked XT1644 didnt get any updates. Anybody expecting android 7.0 before the holidays is going to be disappointed.
