[Q] How to update modem? - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, can anyone tell me how to update the modem to the latest version?
I'm on pure edition 1095 unlocked, twrp, custom 511 rom. I've searched all over and cannot find a clear guide on how to do it.
Thank you in advance!

Download the full firmware of the 5.1 Pure edition then extract the files
NON-HLOS.bin and FSH.mbn the go to fast boot and type:
mfastboot erase modemst1 mfastboot erase modemst2 mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn mfastboot reboot
Done. You have the last modem of the 5.1 pure edition.

Now you've confused me because I found different code and steps on moto website and xda
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

Is the same just different order. The erase command don't erase the NON-HLOS.bin but the stats and configuration or the modem.
Flashing before of after the new modem over the old makes no difference unless you don't erase modemst1 and st2.
mfastboot is the "same" fast boot just a command special designed to Motorola devices.

I followed the instructions and got unknown baseband and blank imei. I restored the efs from backup and got the imei back, the baseband version is newer. I thought the efs restore would change it back to the original?

ok, maybe is because the 5.1.1 custom you are using is not compatible with the modem you are trying to flash. And it is "normal" if you lose signal and IMEI after, that happened to me when I flashed the 5.0 modem over a 4.4.4, the solution is simple, just flash back your original modem and your IMEI/baseband will be restored.

Not any different from the return to stock guide. Not sure why you thought your X would be any different.
i would consider skipping... fastboot oem config carrier vzw since you don't have a Verizon device.
Also, consider using mFastboot instead of fastboot for all commands.

Can u try RSD lite directly there no problem i was using rsd for my moto x.

[Help! I just bought it] Please help me get WIFI and/or the any of my SIMs working!

Hi!
I have a Moto G dual sim and I recently updated my ROM to Lollipop XT1064 (biggest mistake in recent history!)
Things went really well for a day then I made two mistakes:
1- SU Binary required update so I told it I have TWRP recovery when I did not. that made my phone freeze and kept restarting before getting to the moto logo.
2- I then decided to flash back to 1068 to redo the whole thing, but I mistakenly used Moto x (it was a version that worked on Moto g single sim, I think.. not sure anymore)
Since then I have tried flashing 1068 4.4.4 stock ROM and every time i end up with no network signal (wifi NOR the both SIMs.)
I was able to flash modem files successfully and in my pursuit to fix wifi I had to flash other roms but now I cannot even fix the SIM signal.
Please note that I have no data that I care about, I want ANY ROM that make my phone more valuable than a paperweight.
To sum up:
- OEM is unlocked
- I get flash and get into custom recovery
- I am able to flash stock ROMs
- Was not able to get any ROM where WIFI works (not able to enable it. never worked since the problem started)
- Was able once to get the SIMs to work (were not ale to do it again although I repeated the same steps which were
Steps I used to flash stock ROMs:
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_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
Steps to attempt to enable SIMs:
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot reboot
I hope i provided enough info... if not, please let me know what to add.
Many thanks in advanced for helping or taking the time to read words of a desperate human being!

[Q] Sprint radio?

Let's say you've accidentally hosed your modem by deleting the modemst files. How would I go about fixing that? I figured I could just download the stock sprint radio for the moto x (gen 1), but I can't seem to find such a thing. I tried flashing this radio:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/radio-msm8960probp232-55-52-00r-t2824925
But that doesn't seem to be the right radio for sprint.
I tried doing a full wipe and re-flash of the newest cm12 ghost nightly, but if it contains the radio files, it didn't fix the problem of the phone not connecting to cell networks.
Basically i'm looking for the stock modem files so I can recover doing something like this:
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot reboot
flashing cm11 then cm12 somehow fixed this.

You wont see them until after they have pushed officially.
And then, any Developer XT1053 or XT1060 images will get posted to Moto's web site -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images
In case you don't wanna use RSD Lite/You own a Mac:
MANUAL FLASHING
Much easier AND don't have to deal with getting RSD Lite to work....
Note - this was done on VZW variant, and based on XML file of that particular firmware. Get these instructions from your firmware package XML file.
Note 2 - VERY IMPORTANT!!! - You MUST use mfastboot (Moto fastboot) for the system.img flash as its too large for standard Android fastboot to handle, your flash WILL fail if you use standard fastboot. Hence why it says "mfastboot" this is not a typo.
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
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
mfastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem config carrier vzw
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Note: this is all done using fastboot/mfastboot/adb manually on your command prompt/terminal.
Good luck.

Moto X XT1052, Asia Retail Version, not showing any network.

Device: Moto X XT1052 Asia Retail
Bootloader Status: Unlocked
Current OS : Stock Lollipop ROM--XT1052 Retail Asia (Version: 222.27.5.ghost_row.AsiaRetail.en.03)--
Problem: Phone not showing any network signal
The problem started couple of weeks back. I went roaming, so put the phone in flight mode for a whole day and when I came back to non-roaming region turned the flight mode off. But then the network signal wouldnt come back. I'm not sure if this triggered the problem. But this is when it happened.
Ive been using CM12.1 OFFICIAL Nightly ROM then.
I tried changing the ROMs, RESULT : STILL NO NETWORK SIGNAL
I tried going back to STOCK( both kitkat and lollipop) RESULT : STILL NO NETWORK SIGNAL
I tried changing the radio firmware RESULT : STILL NO NETWORK SIGNAL
I cant even register on a network manually, no networks are shown when searched manually.
IMEI havent changed.
Now any help would be much appreciated, THANKS
I have same issue as yours too.
Contacted motorola,they asking me to send it to service centre.
Did all the step like downgrade and upgrade,change the modem etc etc,no success.seems like the modem hardware got problem.can read my sim card,but network not up.

If you did
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
during your return to stock operation, then this shouldn't be happening unless you've got some H/W problem. Could you try doing the whole thing once again?
This (with some unnecessary steps) is what I used to get my phone back to stock when I had trouble.

See if this works for you. CM12 etc won't work if your modem firmware isnt properly installed. They replace system, not the hardware related things.
