Hello! I'm having this error when trying to restore the Moto G XT1078 stock ROM. Does anyone know why is giving this error?
And I've also tried reinstalling the stock ROM by fastboot and when it comes to file "system.img_sparsechunk" appears the error "image is too large". Can someone please help me, I've done everything I know and I could not get the phone.
Thanks

Hello!
i think the full version model is this:
Moto G XT1078 LTE 2014 Dual SIM BR Anatel NO:3212-14-0330 THEA
I've tried to give these flash files mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 and all give the error "Image is too large"
I'm the problem after making a improper update with the XT1068 image on my XT1078.
From what I could investigate, partitions (at least the / system) were unduly resized and now does not fit the official image of the XT1078 more.
XT1068 default is 8GB and 16GB XT1078 is.
It should be possible to reverse the situation by running the command "mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin" to correct image but unfortunately XT1078 is accusing the same mistake that many are having to "version is downgraded primary_gpt".
I need to know if I can "force" or "bypass" this repartitioning because I searched the internet and found nothing on

you are confusing how to flash those files, they are not for twrp - you download to pc and flash via AP fastboot mode via a USB cable
give me a hour or so and I will try to find correct firmware and give you correct instructions on how to fix

I think there is already a thread dealing with this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-lte/help/moto-g-4g-lte-xt1072-bricked-t3091863
It seems that flashing a wrong stockrom will change your bootloader and so far no one has found a way to restore the good one.

Last night, my phone was running slow so I rebooted my phone. My phone started bootlooping (stayed in the bootloader warning screen).
Here's where it gets weird: I went into TWRP and tried a bunch of different solutions. I tried to create a nandroid and a bunch of error messages popped up like "E: unable to /mount". I tried factory reset and same error messages.
I was worried the bootloop would occur again so I pressed format data and without thinking, formatted my entire card.
Now I have a phone with no system, no backup, but still in the TWRP screen. Without doing more damage, where do I go from here?
Moto X 2014 Pure Edition with bootloader unlocked.
Looks like you're going to have to flash the factory images and start fresh.

Thanks for the quick reply. Can you guide me towards doing that?
You could go the factory image route (just google Motorola Factory Images and it'll be the first result. You need a motorola account to access them).
You can also boot into TWRP and transfer a ROM over via ADB if you want to stick with the custom ROMs. Just boot into TWRP and connect to your computer, then adb push the ROM file.
This is the error message I get when I tried to push a zip to my /sdcard directory:

It says it's a "Read-only file system".
You would unzip that file to get to the sparsechunks and then you would:
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot.exe erase cache

I extracted the zip file into the same folder. I copied your first line of command and this has been my screen for the past 15 minutes:
Should it take that long? As a note, all the files you mentioned are there.

Are you trying to flash those in recovery? You need to be in fastboot (bootloader) mode.

The rabbit hole goes deeper. I'm in bootloader mode, copy and paste the first line of command, and here's the new error:
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Did you reboot into bootloader from twrp? If so, power off there phone and not into fastboot that way. Then try it.

Yes, unlocked bootloader. Motorola Device Manager tells me my phone's current version is "22.21.11.victara_tmo.tmo.en.us" and I was running Lollipop 5.0 before it went beserk yesterday.
I downloaded the image file from http://www.graffixnyc.com/motox.php under the title "Lollipop 5.0 22.21.11 FULL IMAGE PACKAGE Zip."
I honestly don't know what is wrong!!

Do you have fastboot installed? If so, try using it instead of mfastboot. I had a problem like that once but I really don't know what fixed it. That's about the only other suggestion I have.

New development:
I flashed "TMO_XT1095_5.0_LXE22.46-11_cid9_CFC.xml.zip" using the commands given with success!
Figuring that this is it, I pressed "normal startup" and my phone is once again stuck in the "Warning Bootloader unlocked" screen. Has not gone to the Moto world animation screen yet.
Because u hav wiped ur entire os widout nandroid backup..u will hav to flash a rom(stock or custom..ur choice) again..Ensure u hav an unlocked bootloader..Download a rom frm the internet that suits ur device and place it on the root of sd card..then boot into twrp..wipe data and cache..click install and find ur image and click it..the rom will get flashed to ur device..

By attempting to flash that stock image above, I lost TWRP and now on stock recovery. I can only access bootloader now. Which file should I try to flash via fastboot? That seems to be my only solution.

Why did you download it from there rather than from Motorola's official site? I wouldn't feel confident that the images are actually legitimate. Download them from motorola:
https://motorola-global-portal.cust...e/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/action/auth
From that link click Get recovery images here and download them from the official source.

Update (15/04/2016) :- Its happening to my phone in every restart, and I have no idea why. Last time my phone got switched off because it ran out off battery and I saw motoboot not flashing until the battery is charged upto 5-10% or so.
Check if the battery is ok (green, not red) and Fastboot reason should be Volume down key pressed off course.
So if you guys ever face this problem please go to the fastboot menu by pressing vol- key while restarting, connect to usb and wait till the battery is ok (green).
Same problem..... Failed to validate system image...what to do now?? somebody please help...fast......
Guys you just need to fastboot flash the factory firmwares you were on (For eg. if you were on Lollipop then you have to fastboot flash stock lollipop firmware, if marshmallow, and same if MM)
It will solve the problem, I had my device into this approx. 3-4 times. I survived it. cheers :good:
Edit: This method works on locked bootloader too, as it is official.

I have solution.... i had same problem... and searched it now my moto G2 is running successfully..... 1st You have to download stock firmware (official may be)...after that you have to install via fastboot with ADB codes....
follow instruction=========>>>>>
1. Extract the downloaded firmware file to a folder.
2. Download and extract mfastboot and copy its content to the same folder where the extracted firmware files.
3. Reboot your Moto G into the Bootloader Mode. To do so, turn off your phone and then press and hold the Volume (-) and Power buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.
4. Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable.
5. Now, launch a command window from inside the firmware folder (click shift key, right click and select open command window here option).
6. In the command window, issue the following commands one by one:
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 erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
NOTE: If firmware includes four system.img_sparsechunk or you do not want to erase the userdata, you can modify the command. You have now successfully installed a fresh ROM on your Moto G and the phone the phone should work as usual.
Also, depending on which version you are going to and from, you may need to try using the standard fastboot rather than mfastboot.
that's it... Enjoy...... (suggesting to download 5.0.2)

I searched for this issue before posting and did used mfastboot to flash only those three .img (motoboot, boot, recovery) files from stock marshmallow ( XT1068_TITAN_RETAILDSDS_6.0_MPB24.65-34_cid7_CFC.xml.zip ) downloaded from this link >> https://mega.nz/#F!29RX1L6I!gfxcXgqkAhf5GDhr_aPGYg!H8gEQK6T

What if I flash MM despite being on lollipop before this situation?

Did u wiped off the system and data partition before doing that???
Sometimes a complete format would be great enough to ensure '0' errors

You'll only receive OTA updates if you've flashed with the correct firmware for your software channel. Whilst you can flash and lock with other region's firmwares, your device may not be recognised by the Motorola servers for OTA updates, which means you may have to manually update.
Doesn't work
bootloader: slot count not found
slot suffixes not found error
still required signed boot.img
error it doesn't work please help

Were you able to get the imei?? And signals?
Because i had lost it when i tried with another thread. And recoverd from validus rom.
Thanks
Can you list the full commands
Why your baseband version is different and build number is same as latest one and security patch level are also different

Yes definitely!!!!
After much thinking, I decided to root my new phone, but things did not go well. I unlocked the bootloader and everything went well, but at the time of installing twrp everything went to hell. Now I try to install the official ROM via miFlash and via Fastboot but I always get errors.
In myFlash tool I get: error: FAILED (remote: GetVar Variable not Found)

In fastboot I get: sending system_a

I have bootloop and I can not turn off the device. Can somebody help me?

Hi, I followed the steps but I can't flash system. I got the same error: "Flash system_a error" in "a" and in "b" FAILED (remote: GetVar Variable not Found)
Download this one: Android 8.1.0 [V9.6.9.0.ODIMIFE]
It will flash System_a or System_b without problems. then update via OTA.
I had the same issue with flashing rom. I think u need too much free ram. First close all apps include chrome then try it again. If again failed then try this version Android 8.1.0 [V9.6.9.0.ODIMIFE] it will flash

Yes something strange with the latest fastboot rom. I could flash it but tried a LOT.
use ./fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Boot the phone in edl mode (fastboot oem edl) from the fastboot mode and then flash the rom with MiFlash.

I tried, flash some images well, but in boot.img just shows flashing but doesn´t continue. I had waiting long time.
Replace the boot.img from Images folder with patched_boot.img from this forum and see if it works. If not, flash the entire ROM without boot.img by deleting that image and then flash it with fastboot flash boot_a boot.img and fastboot flash boot_b boot.img.

after 2 hours playing with that faulty phone I clearly decided not to open it and sent it back. I suspect there's hardware (RAM?) issues with some Mi A2 devices. as I wrote I wasn't even able to load a kernel. it did weird things and gave me strange fastboot feedback. atm I'll stick with tissot but I'm unsure about xiaomi's latest smartphones .

download the 1.0.2 version, it has an unbrick option that takes care of most softbricks
YOU MUST RUN the unlock oem unlock, flashing, and unlock flashing_critical options (options 1 2 and 3) before trying the unbrick option. If the unbrick option does not work, try the revert to stock option.
For any others getting in a bootloop from TWRP, download the 1.0.1 version and run the Launch TWRP option it will overwrite the boot.img to a usable one. TWRP is really buggy right now so FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.
And for those who have a bootloop because they tried to install xposed, run the revert to stock option. Unfortunately ATM there is no way to keep your data unless you put the https://magiskroot.net/uninstall-magisk-module-twrp/ zip on your device.
Hi guys, finally whith EDL mode, after hours and hours flashed well!
fastboot oem edl
or
fastboot-edl-v2
I have reviewed each .img file and I also found that apparently the system.img file was not decompressed correctly. Then I went to the always reliable Total commander and was decompressed fine.
Thank you all!
people try:
1- Another usb port
2- Another usb cable
3- Another PC

but how?
I will describe how I managed to flash PIE RETEU_9.0 version on Chinese RETCN XT1589-05 with stock Oreo. It is a triple hybrid ROM (better than just Hybrid ) In short I installed bootloader part from RETCN 8.0, baseband from RETEU 8.0 and system from RETEU 9.0. Detailed description below.
We will need to download 2 firmwares: RETEU_DS_8.0.0_OPXS27.109-34-21 and RETEU_DS_9.0_PPX29.159-24. Optionally download RETCN_8.0.0_OCX27.138-29-3
first enter to bootloader:
adb reboot bootloader
[OPTIONAL] we will flash flashall.bat included in RETCN_8.0 (I did that, because I've recovered from brick ), You can also skip this point or just flash bootloader part from RETCN_8.0:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
Then flash Baseband part from RETEU_8.0. DO NOT FLASH baseband from RETEU 9.0. otherwise there is a risk that you will lost your radio/bt/wifi (at least on Sprint/Verizon version). I suspect it should work on retcn version, but I'm not going to try.
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
At the end we flash System part from RETEU_9.0
fastboot flash boot boot.img
flashing boot.img most propably will fail. Do not panic, this is normal. Solution is below.
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_b system_other.img
fastboot flash oem oem.img
OPTIONAL: I have wiped oem partition in TWRP without impact on system, so you can skip this line if you want (but you must wipe also if you skip)
If flashing boot.img via fastboot fails, flash it through TWRP.
Boot to TWRP
fastboot boot twrp.img
Transfer boot.img to internal memory, select Install, select Install Image, and select boot.img from SD card. When asked, select boot.
At the end wipe user data (You can do it via TWRP)
fastboot -w
And reboot
fastboot reboot
Now You have fully working PIE on your XT1589-05 RETCN I haven't noticed any problems with the phone. Radio/baseband (wifi, bluetooth, calling and network) works flawlessly. What's more, on factory firmware during call network was drop from 4G / LTE+ to 2G / E, now it drops only to 3G / H. If You want, You can also skip flashing baseband part, but I've noticed, that baseband from RETEU_8.0 works better than from RETCN_8.0 (I've tried both) . It has less impact on battery and it won't drops to 2G during call (at least in Europe).

Lolinet moves fw for older devices to _obsolete_ directory.
BTW You can flash just RETEU or RETAPAC fw instead hybrid rom.
