Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure

Hello dear friends!
I have a problem with my Atrix HD. I have problems to flash the boot.img and the system.img.
I tried with RSD Lite, Myth Tools - AHD, Fastboot flash and none have been able to flash it. I downloaded all drivers!
may be permanent brick?
The only thing I shows Battery Low, Battery OK sometimes.
I saw on some forums that the "Factory Cable" has the possibility to flash my phone.
What are the chances of coming back to life my MB886?
Here the details of what I show!
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (s)
10.9b (*) (sha-2e68372, 2012-11-17 23:33:08)
eMMC Info: Size 8GB
Device is LOCKED, Status code: 0
Low Battery
USB Connect
Data Cable
Partition (boot) Downgraded Security Version
Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure.
Waiting for your prompt help
Thank you.
Greetings!

nothing to panic... hold power+vol up+vol down to power your device off and put it to charge (do not charge with pc/laptop, use a AC power source)
after an hour, follow these steps..
1)download the required firmware from here and fastboot binaries
2)extract the zip and place downloaded fastboot binaries in the extracted directory and open terminal in this directory.
3)type the following commands in order
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot -w
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Can't Flash Recovery

I'm on the T-Mobile variant and have followed the steps on the motorola website to unlock the bootloader. When I boot into fastboot, it says the device is unlocked with at status code 3. When I run 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' everything seems to run fine:

Yup. From reading around it seems like there's a script in /system that flashes the stock recovery upon booting up. I tried to get the PwnMyMoto apk onto my device to get root and remove the recovery script file but now I'm getting an unexpected exception when trying to install the apk through adb. I have both USB debugging and Unknown Sources allowed. Any ideas?
Edit:
By the way I am T-Mobile, post OTA. If that changes anything.

This might be a long way to do it but can't you downgrade back to 4.2.2 then get root with that then follow the instructions found in the general section for maintaining root through taking the ota? This should fix your problem. Also the instructions there might give you a different idea of how to work around this issue. You might just be able to flash the boot image and install the hidden su yourself.

I'm already on 4.2.2. I'm guessing you mean to undo the recent OTA? How would I do that without a custom recovery or root?

One more clarification: After you flash recovery, you are using the volume down key to highlight recovery and then you are using the up arrow to select it correct? You do not press the power button to make the selection as on nexus devices.

PS you had recovery the first time you hit the up volume and it sent you to a screen that said "no command" from that screen if you press the up volume and power button together it sends you to the recovery screen. It may be down volume and power together to get passed that "no command" screen but its one of the two. I saw people having that same problem in the forum about maintaining root through the OTA.

Probably your battery isnt charged enough to proceed with operation.
Check your battery and make sure it is charged at least 50% and try again.

Will charge up a bit over 50% and see. I still get permission denied. Plus when I try to get into recovery, I can't. The Motorola log shows up for a while, then restarts and boots normally into Android.

Trouble restoring PE to stock KitKat

Unfortunately I loaded the leaked Lollipop build to my PE and it was working great, but I wanted to get on the soak test build. I downloaded the stock KK 4.4.4 system image from Motorola in order to restore before updated to soak test. All but one of the files flashes fine, the exception being motoboot.img. I get Preflash validation failed error for that file.
The phone boots and runs but the missing file means the update won't install. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to restore this file?

Sorry, copy/paste error there.
I actually tried the motoboot motoboot.img too and get the same error.

well I'm not sure then man. I guess all I can suggest is follow THESE instructions to a T.
also if you have flashed any of the radios floating around these forums insert "fastboot flash modem radio.img" in there somewhere.
And of course make sure your bootloader is unlocked.

Thanks, those are precisely the instructions I used. I haven't done anything with the radios. I flashed the leaked lollipop rom and then used the official image files to try to go back. The bootloader was initially not unlocked, I unlocked it only in an attempt to get the motoboot file to flash. Now I can't relock it because this part of the image is missing.

Have you tried re-doing all those instructions from the top with your bootloader unocked? instead of just trying to reflash motoboot?
I'm surprised it let your flash somethings while your bootloader was still locked.

Only thing I did with bootloader locked was the partition. As soon as I got to the motoboot and it failed, I figured I would need to unlock and did that. Since then, I've tried the whole process a couple of times with the same result. I will however, give it another shot.

You don't need motoboot to update. Go use the script and it will do everything for you.

(USA) XT1064 2nd Gen please help me restore! No backup :(

I foolishly didn't create a backup. I know. Stupid of me.
I have a Moto G 2nd Gen model XT1064 (USA, purchased at Best Buy off contract, Single SIM). I can fastboot and I have TWRP recovery installed. I cannot find a rom that works however. Of all the .zips I've downloaded only one, a dual SIM UK version, boots. But it does not recognize my SIM or wifi chip. The others fail without giving me an error as to why.
UPDATE: This thread.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t2873657 helped restore my wifi, though the firmware linked was a dual sim and I cannot enable my SIM card, the option is grayed out.
I have tried over the past day to try and get this to go back to its factory image with no luck at all. I have a Nexus 4, seeing as it has a toolkit and factory images readily available, its always easy to work on. This Moto G is a different story.
What do I need to get this back right? I may already have the files and not even realize it..
Thanks for any help!

Once you get back to full stock 4.4.4, take a look at this so you won't need to do that again. This (TWRP) will also backup your PDS should you somehow bork the MEID or anything later...
Cheap insurance
EDIT: TWRP doesn't backup PDS by default. You must select it prior to the backup. Just thought I should clarify that.

Bricked Moto X 2014? Fastboot flashing, ADB Sideloading, Nothing Seems To Work

Bricked Moto X 2014? Fastboot flashing, ADB sideloading, nothing seems to work
Hello,
I have this Moto X 2nd gen (XT1092), and I wanted to install an Android Marshmallow OS last weekend.
I did it according to this article on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/install-image-marshmallow-6-0-xt-1097-t3266858 , where an install image plus small install description is posted.
This is the first ‘non-standard’ thing I tried with this phone. It is not rooted, nor did I make any changes in the settings for developers, apart from enabling USB debugging. The device was running an stock version of Android 5.1, which I received the normal way(just an automatic system update).
Using some 'fastboot flash....' commands via the PC, the image should be installed. However, upon trying the first command: 'fastboot flash partition gpt.bin', the terminal responded with:
-------------------------
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.003s]
writing 'partition'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.102s
-------------------------
Afterwards, my phone didnt boot to android anymore. The only thing it does is put me in "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)"
I have tried installing different stock Motorola images/zips for my phone, in order to try to get it back to how it was, but for every fastboot flash I want to do (except for the boot logo), I get the preflash validation error.
I also tried sideloading images via ADB via the recovery mode, bit this doesn’t work either:
When I try "adb sideload <IMAGE>.zip", it starts to send the file to the phone, and the phone receives it. Very quickly after completing the transfer, though, the phone can say two things (depending on what .zip file I try):
1.
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Package expects build fingerprint of motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.0/LXE22.46-19.1/1:user/release-keys or motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.1/LPE23.32-25.1/1:user/release-keys; this device has motorola/victara_reteu/victara:4.4.4/KXE21.187-42/41:user/re
Installation aborted.
2.
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installation aborted.
One thing to note is that when I try 'adb devices', it gives me:
-------------------------
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
TA99300SXJ sideload
-------------------------
It says that the device is in ADB sideload mode, which blocks me from using other ADB functions, like shell. Is there a way to get 'full' ADB acces?
I also tried using the official Motorola “RDS Lite” software, as some people say this can be used to correctly flash an image to the phone, but this program just does not see my phone.
I did install all drivers, and Windows recognizes the device correctly, in both fastboot and ADB (recovery) mode.
Another thing I wanted to do to solve this, is to unlock the bootloader, as some people on forums said that this would help. However, when I try “fastboot oem unlock UNIQUEKEY” with the key I got from the Motorola website, the bootloader responds with the message stating that I have to enable unlocking the bootloader via developer settings. And obviously, I cannot go to settings to enable this.
-------------------------
I’m very stuck here, and I would be the intensely happy if there would be someone around who can help me get my phone back to life!
I do have experience with flashing Android ROMs/Images/Zips, but not on Motorola devices.
I reckon that this:
“Package expects build fingerprint of motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.0/LXE22.46-19.1/1:user/release-keys or motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.1/LPE23.32-25.1/1:user/release-keys; this device has motorola/victara_reteu/victara:4.4.4/KXE21.187-42/41:user/re”
could possibly be caused by an incorrect zip file. If that is the case, is there any way to obtain the proper file?
I did read about some special micro USB cables connecting the normally unused pin 4. Could this be helpful?
Any help would be IMMENSELY appreciated. I'm not ready to give up the fight!
Kind regards,
Ostheer

This same thing happened to me today. Ive had my fair share of rooted phone issues but this one is a mystery to me. Ive rooted every other Moto device [G, G '14, X, X Pure] And now a new issue arises.
I used a .bat file from CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_SHAWN5162 . It finished and booted into bootloader but wont go anywhere from there. I have a feeling Ive reset to a locked state with no boot file.
Device is LOCKED. Status Code:0

Just like you I tried several fixes and no luck.
1. ADB Lite: Same issue
2. mfastboot Same issue
3. RSD Lite: Does not recognize my devices (win 10 / sdk / all drivers / redownloaded 3 times)
4. any bat file I try / manual code / or adb all fail
There must be a solution to this. I want Marshmallow 6.0 just as much as the next guy to work on my phone. Thanks for the help

At this point I would be happy to get anything to work on it, 6.0 is not a requirement for me anymore.
For me it says: "Software status: Official", and getting the unlock data works. Still can't unlock though, as this should've been enabled in settings apparently.

Well there is your problem, your bootloader is locked. You can't flash firmware that is not for your model/carrier with a locked bootloader. It absolutely will fail.
Try flashing this with mfastboot:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/i8htlx8fqpv/VICTARA_RETEU_XT1092_5.1_LPE23.32-25.3_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
Most likely gpt.bin and motoboot will fail to flash, just keep flashing all the files even if those 2 fail.
If this works, do NOT use the OTA update to get to 6.0 there is a high probability that you will hard brick your phone if you use OTA, and there is no way to fix that currently.
Because of what you did, you will have to wait for a full 6.0 firmware for the xt1092EU. Do not flash anything else until that is released.

@AGISCI,
Thank you for your reply. I am currently downloading the file you linked, and will try to flash it using mfastboot as soon as it finishes downloading.
I did indeed hear that using the OTA afterwards is not something you will want to do.

This I think is your delay. I just woke up today and noticed my phone now says UNLOCKED I didnt do anything else but attempt all my failed steps on another computer and a reboot [which had not been done since system failure. So it boot up like it was unlocked and didnt go further. Back to bootloader mode, let see if it works
YES! Got it to load up and boot using this 6.0 zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/rom-installation-rsd-t3263800
However now my SIM card isnt being recognized. Which ssems to happen all the time when using a file from another country. Isnt there a simple solution for this fix?

That is great news! I am still downloading the zip AGISCI linked.
So if I'm correct, in the fastboot screen it now says "device is unlocked" for you?
What steps did you make to try to unlock the bootloader?
Also, am I correct to assume that you used fastboot/mfastboot to flash your zip in the end?

How is it possible? Your bootloader just got unlocked without root!
I will be more than happy if you explain again what you did and what happend exactly.
Thanks.

Whenever you flash a firmware meant for another region/carrier, you are also flashing the modem/radio that supports that region/carrier, so you have to find the firmware that supports your device/region/carrier and flash the modem/radio from it, in bootloader mode:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
These are the files you need to flash "NON-HLOS.bin" and "fsg.mbn"

It sounds like the download of the .zip is corrupt. You will need to download the zip again. There is a list of md5 values in an xml file inside the zip. If the md5 is different it won't flash as a safety precaution.

You are indeed correct. I dont think using another computer helped, although I managed to get FLASH Partition gpt.bin to work first try. What I think happened was my friend [not knowing it was in bootloader] did the bootloader button sequence and failed so instead it just tried to boot up [Stopped @ unlocked bootloader screen]
SO after I got 6.0 to work the radio network wasnt the same so now my SIM isnt being recognized.
So I looked for a simple solution and found directions
The Radio uses these lines of the flash process:
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
I searched for Moto X radio files but no luck, however I did find this link for Moto G which is everything I need to find the solution myself with instructions

I believe that Root is a step that comes after bootloader
[YOUR PHONE]
1. unlock-Bootloader --> mfastboot oem get_unlock_data
This is the first step Motorola tells you to do. Go Here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
2. Install TWRP --> mfastboot flash recovery 'your twrp.img'
At this point your phone should turn on, if not your not finished
3. Install Root --> push SuperSU-v2.--
This zip I have CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_SHAWN5162.zip started this whole mess but it was made to where you can relock your phone after returning it to stock. Problem was that when I ran the .bat file it never took the files so it dumped every partition THEN locked me out, or just pretended to, Im still unsure because I think all I did was try to push a flash line by line [eg. gpt.bin,motoboot,logo...] only got to motoboot and then did a reset. :highfive:

Thanks for the reply. I checked all MD5's and compared them to the ones I generated with a MD5 checksum tool, they all match. I am downloading the zip again, but theoretically that shouldn't help as de MD5's are good.
"Invalid signed image" stays the problem here, unfortunately...
Is there no way to unlock the bootloader if you didn't enable this via settings in Android?

No there is no way to unlock it if you didn't.
Question what version of android were you on before you did this? 5.1? With stagefright patch?

Thought so,
I was on an official 5.1 build, presumably with the patch indeed, as my phone was fully updated and the patch came out in September. For the patch I can't be 100% sure though.
I downloaded the zip for the second time, but as expected after the MD5 check, the results were the same...

I don't know if this is the reason, but maybe if you did not have the stagefright patch you need the firmware without it. Here is the 5.1 without stagefright to try:

I am currently downloading this zip, and also some others.
Curiosity:
How is the phone actually checking the file signatures? What is it comparing them to?
I'm wondering how did I manage to make the phone unable to boot, while the bootloader doesn't allow anything to be flashed?

The images are also signed by motorola with a special key that only they have and know. If the key does not match with your installed firmware flashing will fail.

I downloaded the zip without stagefright, and flashing it using the described procedure again gave the error 'Preflash validation failed' - 'Invalid PIV signed system image'.
Strangely though, flashing motoboot.img actually did work for the first time. (!)
Also flashing the recovery.img works for most zips I tried. That's rather strange as apparently they are being checked too: flashing a twrp recovery (unsurprisingly) didn't work: "mismatched partition size (recovery)".

I requested a compatible stock zip from Motorola for my device, using a ticket on their site. Probably they won't be very eager to supply it though.
