hey friends plz help me I was flashing the stock 5.0.2 rom on my device it succeeded too.
But to change the recovery and to lock the bootloader I fastboot flashed stock recovery and locked the bootloader.. these also succeded.
But now when i try to reboot from fastboot it says mismatched partition size(recovery), fall through from normal mode, failed to validate system image.. etc
and it is not booting, plz help me someone...

Mods I request you to delete this thread
Right.
So, I was opening youtube on the last version of CM 12.1. No xposed, stock kernel, XT1068 model, when all of a sudden the phone stopped working.
Youtube wasn't opening. The phone was stuck on the home screen, all I could do was just press the home/back/recent buttons. Even long pressing power button to reboot would just take me to the power menu but Wouldn't allow me to do anything.
So in the end I long pressed the power menu to force reboot the phone aaaand... stuck on the boot logo. Not on the bootanimation, on the Motorola Bootlogo.
Managed to get to fastboot mode, tried to go to recovery, but after the twrp splash screen It would reboot to the splash screen again.
So i decided to mfastboot the original firmware. Who knows? maybe something got corrupted on cm.
Now, mfastboot is giving me weird errors.
flash partition gpt.bin gives (bootloader) Preflash validation failed
flash motoboot motoboot.bin gives FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
flash boot boot.img freezes everything and i need to reboot it to try and get to fastboot again.
Anybody knows what I should do? I'm kinda desperate here...
Thanks in advance. Peace.
(by the way, latest motorola drivers, just so you know...)
EDIT. Also, on the phone, it says
"hab check failed for primary_gpt
Failed to verify hab image primary_gpt"
Hope I can help
Are you flashing a gpt.bin from a previous android version? You cannot downgrade gpt.bin or motoboot.bin so the error is normal. From what firmware version is the boot.img you are flashing from? Try downloading this twrp recovery img from here https://dl.twrp.me/titan and
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then you can try flashing any rom like this AOSP one http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/rom-android-source-project-t3123109
Hope this helps. I understand how hard it is to have a phone that won't boot.
Maybe you should try to place the stock rom 4.4.4 and then upgrade to 5.0, with 4.4.4 rom the GPT will have a downgrade and then you update the GPT putting 5.0

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You cannot downgrade gpt
Well I somehow managed to reboot into recovery, but the great problem here is that it won't mount \data.
Now, maybe all I need is to reformat \data cause it got corrupted, but since TWRP won't mount it, I can't do much about it.
I found on another thread this command
adb shell
killall -19 recovery
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
reboot
Which apparently formats the data partition of a phone. I suppose I'd have to change "ext4fs" into "f2fs", but I'm too scared to actually try it out.
Also because I don't know whether mmcblk0p8 is the right block for our data partition.
Jeez, I hate this.
Thanks for your help guys, but I don't think flashing recovery again would help. Nor downgrading, but I'll think about it.
EDIT.
Magic, just magic. After hours of tinkering I did EXACTLY THE SAME THINGS and now it's working. Restored the stock Rom and I'm off to install CM again.
Sorry guys and thanks so much!!!
I tried to flash back to recovery, but I used
HTML:
TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_5.1.0-LPAS23.12-15.5-1_CFC.xml
, which I'm pretty sure means I'm gonna have a bad time.
I can't flash the LPA23.12 because I get an error doing fastboot flash partition gpt.bin and it screws up my partitions.
I can flash twrp, but that doesn't help me much. I can get to stock recovery, but that doesn't help me much either.
Things I've tried:
Clearing cache/dalvik
Factory reset
Flashing OTA_XT1053_Rooted.zip with TWRP
Running all the fastboot commands for LPA-23.12-15.5-0
Running all the fastboot commands for LPAS-23.12-15.5-0
Restoring someone elses recovery
I have a Windows 10 VM on my Mac, and while fastboot on Windows sees the phone, I can't get it to show up in RDS Lite 2.6.4. Moto Device Manager and Drivers have been installed.
Any ideas? :crying:
Hi guys,
I am planning to return to Stock 5.1 on my phone, after running CM 13.
So I upgraded from 4.4 to 5.1 my manually flashing the zip in recover.(XT1053_GHOST_TMO-RETAIL_5.1_LPA23.12-15.5_cid9_CFC.xml.zip would be the file from https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X (1st gen-2013)/Stock/XT1053 T-Mobile/)
From there I moved on to CM 12 and then CM 13.
Device version is XT1053.
Been facing issues with bluetooth devices and planning to get back to stock 5.1
So I tried manually(mfastboot) flashing components (boot, recovery and system). Boot and recovery went fine, but system gave me(similar) error.
load_file: could not allocate 829072920 bytes
error: cannot load 'system.img': Not enough space
Referred to this tutorial, http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
and tried the manually method wherein I ran these 2 commands :
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
Threw some error(forgot to note them down) :|
Anyway, nothing work post that.
Tried rebooting, got the "no command" screen.
Eventually flashed TWRP and installed CM13 again from zip and got the phone booted up.
Running fine, but still can't to get back to stock!
Tried RSDLite method from the tutorial above, but RSD doesn't detect my phone on connecting.
adb devices command does list the phone.
Can someone please point me in the right direction ?
btw, noticed something weird after failed partition flash.
Whenever I mfastboot recovery/boot it throws an error unknown command 'recovery' (or boot), but flashes fine.
Is this normal ?

Neel Indap
