Engineering device also?
I'm trying to flash the ATIVS on WP8.1 (8.10.14157.200) with firmware 2424.14.9.3 using the SMD tool v3.47 and the spv cmj MBN with the fake GT-I8750 ROM. It all goes as planned, I get the partition error and select NO, restart the device and then do a hard reset via the settings. Unfortunately when it's reset the device doesn't appear any different.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

This seemed to sort itself out when I restarted the machine and restarted the phone.

Hey all,
I have a Samsung ATIV S (GT-I8750), below the version informations:
OS version: 8.10.14157.200
Firmware revision number: 2424.14.9.3
Hardware revision number: 15.15.1.0
Bootloader version: 14.09.3.16
Chip SOC version: 1.5.32
I've tried interop unlocking methods (editing registry, native toast message, helper app) but I've failed. I think it's because I my OS version has already fixed the security hole. So I would like to downgrade my phone, to a version that can be unlocked (for example 8.0.10328.78)
I need help getting the right firmware.
What information do I need to find the right firmware? I need somebody to tell me what information do I need to choose the right firmware for my phone, (Like region, IMEI, CSC, etc...) and where can I download it.
EDIT:
I figured I will need at least my phone's CSC. I've tried these codes in diag menu : "*#1234#" and "*#321647335" but they are both empty! How else can I check my CSC?
Hello guys ! I am very happy that I found you ! I am apologize for my poor english, but you are my last hope of help. . .
My Moto X 2014 2nd was Flawless and perfect before the last OTA update in 2015.... After I installed, my phone don`t reboot anymore and freezing with the first white logo image about 20 sec and after appear a black screen with the "dead" android robot with red exclamation on it said "NO COMAND". The injured android logo just repeatedly flashes on for an instant and then disappears. Nothing happens when I hold the power button and press volume up. Anything I choose from bootloader is giving me the same result. I read all the pages from here and I am still stuck...
-I install everything: adb (it recognize the device - TA99303EV4) but every comand failed with a "REMOTE FAILURE" message. Fastboot or mfastboot - the same..... I try the CODE that i receive from Motorola ( for unlock the bootloader) but it failed again: "check Enable OEM Unlock in Developer Option". Yeah, right - but I can`t do it now with this black screen
-The RDS Lite doesn`t recognize my device (many restarts, different USB ports and computers, nothing works...)
-Motorola Device Manager said: "No updates for your phone. Current Version: 23.16.3.victara.retes.retesall.en.eu"
-In the Device manager (win 7 32bit) it appears ok: Motorola ADB Interface
My Bootloader screen looks like this:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)

Please, help me... In my country there is nobody who can repair my beloved phone, I went 4 times to diferent service centers and nothing... Maybe with your help, my beloved MOTO X will be back to life again. If, OMG, IF i knew before to check/enable that option in the developer option - USB debbuging......
I wish you all the best for all and thank you so much for every posible answer !
Please corect me if I am wrong:
I thing that once OTA was upgraded the partition table, then I can`t never go back. Maybe the bootloader (motoboot.img) (also system) would ONLY work with the correct partition table. Meaning that I can't mix and match at all.
I think that means that I am currently stuck with the latest GPT from the last OTA i received. Somehow maybe the bootloader was downgraded and won't work for flashing other partitions ?! ...
That means that if I flash the new bootloader version and reboot, maybe it will be back to life. So guys, what version do you thing I must try to flash ?
Please respond me, I don`t know where to ask anymore... If I only could pass that "Device is LOCKED . Status Code 0" will be so. . . blissful
I have so much expectations from the MASTERS of this forum and nobody give me a chance. . . an ideea. . . I simply don`t believe: Am I the only one who has this stupid problem ?!?!
So, because of your complete silence (and only views) I understand that I have to throw my phone on the trash because:
- nobody told me that I have to enable this stupid USB debugging option on the first day when I bought the phone.
- nobody told me that I have to unlock this bootloader on the second day when I bought this phone.
- nobody told me that I should NEVER trust the OTA updates that destroyed my phone who works flawless before. . .
I will still wait, maybe someone, SOMEONE will find a solution for this idiot situation.
With all my great respect,
Matrix.
Hi,
You should be able to flash stock images without USB debugging enabled.
Can you explain a bit more how you tried to flash the image ?
Hope we'll find a solution,
Best regards.
I use the common way like usual - mfastboot, fastboot, Android SDK Slim, the image package is in the same folder. . .
fastboot devices - returns my serial number so my phone is conected and recognized.
After I tried all this comands like usuals:
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
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 system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot reboot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
but after EVERY comand, the messages is sending...OK, writing and this stupid lines:
Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote control)
finished. Total time .....followed by some seconds.
I tried also the mfastboot command instead of fastboot - the same result. . .
like this:
erasing 'userdata'...
(bootloader) Failed to erase partition
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 10.000s
erasing 'cache'...
(bootloader) Failed to erase partition
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 10.000s"
On and on, the same message . . . .

Make sure your battery is fully charged before trying to flash anything. Sometimes a low battery can be the reason for the failure messages.
My battery is fully charged. . . I even let it over night. . .
I found these on several sites:
1) "If you're flashing your variant's factory image, you can flash it without unlocking the bootloader. You would only need to unlock the bootloader if you want to flash another variant's image or a custom ROM." So I try with victara_retes-user 5.1 LPE23.32-25.3 3 (Blur_Version.23.16.3.victara_retes.retesall.en.EUVersion) and is NOT working. Same failure message. . .
2)"Google has added a check box under Developer Options that enables the OEM unlock command to work. If that box isn’t checked, then you will see an error during the bootloader unlock process. So without the option checked in Developer settings to allow OEM Unlock, users can't modify the system partition"
Which variant should I choose to be true ?. . .

You need the xt1092 reteu 5.1 firmware.
Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk
Thank you so much for your answers ! All of you !
Can you give me a correct link ? There is so many xt 1092 reteu 5.1 firmware, and I want to be 100% sure that I`ll do it like you told me.
Can I look here for the corect one ?
http://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X (2nd gen-2014)/Stock/XT1092/
I will try today again with this xt1092 reteu 5.1 firmware. But if the phone blocked every attempt to flash or erase its partitions, does it matter which firmware I send it to flash ?. . .
I`ll post the result as soon as I`ll arrive at home. Hope you are right, so much !
I really don`t understand why the Motorola official site who send me the unlock bootloader code special for my phone doesn`t work . . . It was so simple if it works. . .:crying:
Youre bootloader isn,t unlocked because off status zero.
Follow this guide.

With all my respect sir, you didn`t read my posts. . . .
I already past this stupid step, like I said:
"I try the CODE that i receive from Motorola ( for unlock the bootloader) but it failed again: "check Enable OEM Unlock in Developer Option". . . . . . I already attach the image that proves what I am talking about and about. . .
So. . .bad news. Is the same error message, over and over again, with this firmware xt1092 reteu 5.1 . . . The phone simple don`t want to be flashed, don`t wanna accept any comand . Is there any way to flash SOMETHING on this phone ? I should try another program to flash, or something like TWRP recovery, or . . . another firmware ?
I don`t know, SOMETHING, SOMEHOW ?
I am sad. Very sad.
I attached a picture.
p.s the firmware that I tried was from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/ota-t3132045.
and a little movie, trying every combination of pressing. . .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDTSncEvscM
wherever I tried to flash the RETES or RETEU 5.1 firmware, the phone respond with " invalid PIV signed system image". I am choose the wrong variants ?!?
Nobody can help me ? . . .

Why dont you try flashing KITKAT Bootloader and image... It'll remove that silly option of OEM Unlocking in Developer Options... And maybe you will have luck with this... If the phone is already sort of dead, its worth a shot...
---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------
Also I wonder why don't you go back to MOTO Care, if your bootloader isn't yet unlocked they may help you with it..
I really wish I could help, but since I haven't posted enough, can't provide the links, so I'll do my best to give you exact google search terms to use.
I managed to softbrick my phone the day I got it. Engabling USB debugging doesn't matter in fastboot, which is where you'll be doing all the recovery/fixing at. I can't assure you that this will work for you, different problems can make for different results, however this tool was the only successful way I was able to recover my device.
Tool I used: House of Moto [4.3] SamuriHL's House of Moto - DroidRzr
It shows up as the second link in a google search for me.
The place I got the factory ROM from was: Downloads for Motorola Moto X 2014 by Motorola-Firmware-Team | AndroidFileHost | Download GApps, PA GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers
This one is a bit more difficult, any of the results will be fine, but on the page, on the right side toward the bottom, select your phone, then the exact model.
This will do a full factory flash, you don't need the bootloader unlocked to do this. Alternatively, if you have better luck than me with using RSD Lite, that tool should work, too (it's never worked for any of my phones on any of the five computers I've tried it with, so I regard that software as hopelessly useless, but everyone has different results).
@hamzaalijoiyah
"Why dont you try flashing KITKAT Bootloader and image"
I`ve tried with the same silly message - Failed (remote failure).... !!!!!
@Kayjay0x
Thank you for this new idea/trying to resurect my beloved Moto X xt1092. At first glance, there`s another adb and fastboot based programs, but I`ll give it a try again.

I don't know what to suggest other than trying your luck with a non EU rom? Can't promise that'll work though.
