EDIT 3: Okay, just flashed a new kernel and the WiFi is working now. Must have been the stock kernel for some reason.
So all problems solved now
EDIT 2: Succesfully flashed the ROM, but unable to connect to Wifi. When I press the on button, it switches on for a second and then switches off again. Any idea guys why?
I've been trying to flash the stock ROM, but can't because as soon as I begin with the first step i.e fastboot flash partition gpt.bin, the following error is displayed- fastboot preflash validation failed.
Now I've been reading up on the forums here and a some have said that this error occurs when someone tries to downgrade. But I'm on the latest build and I don't know why this is happening?
Just so everyone knows, I'm unlocked and rooted.
Please, I need help since the ROM I'm on, which by itself is stock, is pretty much not working.
EDIT: The full message on fastboot is as follows
PHP:

You can ignore gpt.bin and motoboot.bin. They won't flash if the same or lower version. Not a problem. Just continue flashing the other files.

Okay, thanks man, I successfully flashed the ROM. But now I have another problem. I'm not able to switch on my Wifi. When press the on button, it switches on for a micro sec and then switches off. Any idea why?
Don't know. Maybe a reboot. After that I would wipe dalvic, cache and data?

I did better, a factory reset. Nada.
Would flashing a different kernel help?
Did you do a
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
This is a wififix for the kernel

Oh I didn't know that this was a wifi fix, but yes I did perform the above steps as well.
But anyhow, I flashed a new kernel and it did solve the problem.
Thanks

Didn't you read anything of the previous posts?
If you've unlocked your bootloader, and getting these errors, you can safely ignore them. Just carry on flashing the other files.
Carried on
I did carried on with the fastboot steps but I get this "UTAG "flashfail" is configured as fastboot" and I'm still stuck in Bootloader.
How do I change the Kernel?
Oh yeah, I updated to Lollipop about 20 days ago, worked fine until a few days back and suddenly I get these strange errors. What could be the cause though?
I have a UK XT1068 and have upgraded to Lollipop.
I've been trying to go back to stock so I can catch the stock OTA upgrade but the first two commands in the list don't seem to be working right i.e.
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
target max-sparse-size: 256MB
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.109s]

OKAY [ 0.172s]
writing 'motoboot'...
(bootloader) Motoboot: Preflash validation for tz
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.469s
I'm using the stock ROM - RETGBALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-23_cid7_CFC.xml.
The rest of the commands do seem to work OK and the ROM seems to flash but I'm not sure everything is OK.
Also, I can't relock the boot loader, I get the following error:
mfastboot.exe oem lock
...
(bootloader) FAIL: Please run fastboot oem lock begin first!
(bootloader) sst lock failure!
OKAY [ 0.013s]

Don't worry about it. Carry on with the rest of the commands. This is a pretty common error that has no effect.
Oh and you don't need to relock your bootloader to get an OTA.

Thanks for the info.
What does stop an OTA? I thought it was the unlocked bootloader?

Anything not stock, for instance, a custom recovery or kernel.
If you've modified your system files, or disabled or uninstalled system apps, even that can prevent you from receiving an update.

Hello Guys im attempting to install TWRP 3.0.2 on my Moto X 2nd Gen 2014 with Android 6.0 Official but im getting an error in my command prompt. I have already attempt to request and an unlock code for unlocking the bootloader but motorolas site state my phone is not authorize for unlocking it. Does my phone need to have boot loader unlocked to be able to follow this step? Im pretty much attempting to install this recover to be able to root following this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/root-root-moto-x-2014-android-t3249105

Yes, the bootloader needs to be unlocked to install a custom recovery (which is stated prior to the first step in the thread you mentioned). At one time there was an"unofficial" bootloader unlock that you might look into.
Hi all...I am looking for this amazon firmware for the xt1900-1. I have a corrupted phone and the bootloader can not be unlocked, my only choice afaik is to fastboot with the identical or newer firmware, and I have been unable to find either. Thanks in advance!
