Flashing stock to Razr i results in "preflash validation failed for GPT" - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have a Razr i here that stopped booting today. Have tried factory reset but it freezes at the Intel logo. Thought I would flash stock firmware to it so downloaded:
Filename: CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-29_S7_USASMIJBRTGB.xml
Creation Date: 02/05/2013 08:54:18
File size: 1462
Sofware Version: XT890_emara-user 4.1.2 9.8.2I-50_SMI-29 1359963544 release-keysSUNRISE_SMB_REV30_V2_R3_1251.B
However when I flash it, it fails with:
Downgraded Security Version
Update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for the GPT
Fastboot command failed
The phone is definetly stock and not unlocked. I think this should be the stock firmware, so not sure whats wrong here. Sounds like the firmware is trying to downgrade the software - but that firmware is the latest release in the XDA superthread for the Retail GB. So not sure how the device could be ahead of that?
Am I missing something here?

[Q] 4.4.2 Kitkat image for flashing with RSD Lite?

Could someone PLEASE provide an image of the 4.4.2 Kitkat firmware (preferably Retail.EU) suitable for flashing with RSD Lite?
For all those who got stuck with a dead phone...

There is nothing we can do, someone needs the fastboot files from Moto / a leaked source.
Just use RSD+JB and then take the OTA to KK

No , flashing JB with RSD, which used to work before upgrading to KK, now fails with:
Downloading ...
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
Fastboot command failed​
Is there a workaround?
Or is there a way to flash the KIA20.74.rar version using just the standard recovery mode?
Or to flash CM11?
(I was in the KitKat testdrive program, and all worked fine till the application updates of last week.
Now the boot process stops while either the Motorola or Intel logo is shown.
Full factory restore using recovery mode doesn't help.
I had this twice before while on Jelly Bean, and solved it by flashing with RSD.)

Then where did you get JB?
The (Retail.EU) version I'm using is named "CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml" and dated 01/17/2013.
My KK version is not the OTA, but the latest one from the testdrive program.

"CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml" is a JB image
What if u flash the gpt.bin (or how it is called) from a 4.4.2 update zip through fastboot. This will solve the gpt security mismatch. Then try RSD-Lite again, but remove the gpt line. Or flash the system_signed, recovery_signed, boot_signed manually with mFastboot or fastboot compatible with an image that's more than 100mb. And then do a full data erase.
The 4.4.2 update zip is floating around somewhere for the gpt file, already seen it on the internet.
This should solve your problem. If it doesn't u got a far greater problem i think, or i just don't know.

Nope, flashing gpt_signed, or any of the other signed images, with mfastboot give the same preflash validation errors as with RSD, as was to be expected.
I have found some 4.4.2 update zips, but they are all TWRP backups, not full partition images; I don't see how these can be flashed with mfastboot.
Found it! I had to unlock the bootloader, and now JB can be flashed.
I guess it would also have been possible, after unlocking the bootloader, to flash the "unofficial TWRP recovery" and then install one of the 4.4.2 TWRP backups from an SD card.

Partition Table lost

I flashed MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml.zip and it worked fined, it showed some 6mb update, and so i updated. it went to bootloader and a fastboot error came, that downgrade security version and update gpt_main version failed.
Now whatever i try to flash, it returns the error that invalid partition name...
Is there a way to fix this..
Does anyone have the gpt_main0.bin file of the updated nimax mexican retail ROM?
I had this same error once because battery was not full. Try that

XT1053 20 sec reboot loop

XT1053 yesterday got into a never-ending reboot loop on around 20th second of loading up. I think the phone had the latest firmware update on it.
I tried to upload a new firmware:
GHOST_RETAIL_5.1_LPA23.12-15_cid9_CFC
RETAIL-US_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.29.1_2_cid9_CFC_1FF
TMO_5.1_LPA23.12-15_15
Using RSDLite 6.1.5
I always get:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
Any ideas how to proceed?
P.S. XT1053 is a US *unlocked* version purchased directly from Motorola.

flashing bootloader -- preflash validation failed (after flash-all.bat)

I tried to upgrade from Android M preview 3 to 6.0 Marshmallow using the flash-all.bat.
There were error messages and the phone would not boot into recovery.
I went back to fastboot to flash files one at a time.
When I try to flash bootloader it fails with the "Preflash validation error" message.
Is this telling me that I can't flash the bootloader because it was already flashed during the (unsuccessful) flash-all.bat?
Can I flash the other files to get the phone back to working order?
Hi, I have the same issue. Were you able to flash the new bootloader?
I've read and heard from several people that the flash-all.bat doesn't work correctly. I'd recommend flashing the .img files separately.
