Oddball discovery.. - Moto G 5G Guides, News, & Discussion

..after flashing xt2113-3 on a xt2113-2 handset. The flash fails on radio.img. I dunno about you, but when I hear radio.img I flash back to the glory days of HTC - etc... This is not the case with moto apparently. Well kind of. radio.img uses the same format as the typical moto blankflash. With the commandline app star, you can extract the radio.img which contains:
fsg.mbn
NON-HLOS.bin
..and several config xml files. Anyhow, this mostly explains why the flash was failing on me heh

Sim Card Error after flashing GPE

Hello, I have a XT1032 from Tesco Mobile.
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the GPE Firmware GPE_XT1032_KOT49H.M004_CFC.xml
I used mototool at first and tried manually using fastboot.
Everything works except I keep getting some random error about my SIM card been removed and added (attached).
I tried to flash the fsg.mbn from stock but it makes no difference.
I did get some errors on fastboot but everything complete with the OKAY message.
any suggestion please?
thanks in advance
I realise its happened since you flashed so probably software related. But is it worth actually physically removing the sim and reinserting just to rule out a genuine dodgy/dirty sim connection.
Also I'm thinking of flashing GPE over my UK retail phone. Did you flash all files inc modem and gpt.bin etc. I am wondering if its worth me just flashing system and boot partitions and nothing else. No harm in me trying that I guess.

Yes, I actually went to my carrier and got a replacement card but since it didnt work I went back to Stock and it works fine so it must be GPE related.
This is what I used ( I am on Mac osx):
./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
./fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
./fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
./fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
./fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
./fastboot erase modemst1
./fastboot erase modemst2
./fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
./fastboot erase cache
./fastboot erase userdata
./fastboot reboot
I got some warnings but all commands gave "okay"
I wonder if its worth you keeping non-gpe for modem partition and fsg and just try flashing gpe system and boot partitions. Maybe as gpe is for USA really its causing some issues to use gpe modem bits and pieces.

Just tried that. Flashed back stock and confirmed everything was working fine. I then reflashed GPE without modem and fsg keeping the stock ones but got the same. Not sure the problem is on the radio at this point.

If anybody has the same problem, I was able to fix it by flashing the latest Radio 355.66.00R from the latest stock update.
I yesterday flashed GPE on my XT1032 (Germany Retail).
But i flashed it using the *.bat /eu file.
No SIM Card error.
Flashed gpe on french moto g, there is no errors.
only radio apps is missing.
It is not missing. It is simply not a feature of GPE.

Moto G Won't boot anymore.

Hello Guys,
after a week using Paranoid Android my moto g xt1032 acted weird, so I reinstalled stock using fastboot.
I am pretty familiar with the use of fastboot and flashing and so on (Guess I've flashed, and fixed over 20 different phones)
But now I've come to the point I can't even fix my own phone.
What does it do?
Well, when I start my phone, it will only show the "warning bootloader unlocked" message, and just restarts and does the same.
Sometimes it even gives a blue screen > restarts.
I can boot into fastboot mode, I tried to flash a RETAIL UK 4.4.2 And RETAIL UK 4.3 stock firmware, even though I am from The Netherlands,
but UK or German roms are the closed to mine, and as far as my knowledge goes, EU firmware are usually the same.
I managed to go into stock recovery, but when I flash philz or twrp, it just stays at the "warning bootloader unlocked" screen.
Going to try XT1032_RETAIL-EU_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip right now.
same result.

While my situation below may not be yours, at least this may get you back to a stable and functional device. I hope it helps. And as you are aware this will COMPLETELY wipe your phone. If you can, backup any pictures or files you want to keep before doing this.
My situation was like many others that had flashed a 4.4.4 GPE or custom ROM and ended up with a mini wifi tablet as the radio was off (as stated by dialing 8#8#4626#*#*). I have gone two days with no cell signal due to this. Trying to flash a stock image (http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14) resulted in boot loops. I believe that is what everyone else is calling it. I never saw the loop as it stayed on the initial logo screen before the animation begins. Maybe it is looping fast and just showing the same screen again instead of it simply not changing. Oh well. I'm fixed now but on EU ROM. Now I'm attempting to install Blur_Version.174.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US. The EU ROM currently installed is 176.44.1, and while it works I simply want to be stock US version for now. I mention this because there is also a 174.44.4 US ROM on SBF-DROID-DEV. I tried that one (among many others) when trying to revive my phone. None of the stock images worked and I'm currently not happy with any of the custom ROMs. Stock or rooted stock will be good for me. On a tangent but I have a XT1032 purchased from AIO Wireless (now Criket but still part of ATT). Well AIO tweaked Motorola's ROM to disable tethering. I actually use Red Pocket for service (another ATT MVNO) and only bought from AIO becausse they had a sweet deal. Wasn't so sweet after I found I could not tether and after 6 months found a way to unlock bootloader, which cost another $25. In short it spent just as much money and had much frustration that could have been avoided if I had purchased directly from Motorola and got a FULLY stock and unlockable device.
---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------
Pass this along also to anyone looking: theroot.ninja worked for me to unlock the bootloader (I've not posted enough to XDA so posting true URL is disabled. Google "sunshine bootloader unlock"). I found a vague reference on XDA somewhere but don't recall thread. Basically, certain carriers (like ATT and its MVNOs) have agreement with Motorola to restrict bootloader unlocking on devices they resell. Like I said, cost me $25, but it worked and I've wasted more $$ on less.
My bootloader is unlocked, I can't get into recovery, only fastboot.
and it stays at the "warning bootloader unlocked screen" aka logo screen, and it restarts so now and then.
When I start it up for the first time, the screen turns blue right away, and restarts, after a couple of restarts, it stays stuck on the logo screen :S
I tried lots of stock firmware, but none of them worked, I wonder if it's a hardware fault, but I reassembled everything, without success.

Regarding fastboot and the 4.4.4 firmware image - you are obviously not doing all the necessary commands. Please state the commands you have used. Since you have updated your bootloader, ensure you are actually attempting to flash a 4.4.4 image, as a 4.4.2 image will result in an error.

Good luck.

-- edit --
no result, also tried to convert it to gpe, no result either.
I guess it's a hardware problem somehow (maybe reading the harddisk fails?)
If you still have the box that the phone came in look at it and it will tell you which Moto G you have.

Messed up my Moto G, really need some help please :(

Hey guys. I got a telus moto g xt1032. It was on official 5.0.2. I flashed TWPR 2.8.5.0, and encountered the bootloop bug. I proceeded to flash the only stock telus firmware i could find- 4.4.4. I followed the guide on XDA to the tee and resulted in my moto go being stuck at the "Warning, boot loader unlocked" screen. I have no idea what to do and would really appreciate some help, as I am new to this. Am even willing to donate if it results in me fixing my phone. Thank for taking the time to read

hey man, ok ill try that again. The only thing is, there is no boot.img in the telus file I downloaded. Its named "motoboot." Should i replace that with the boot img part? Also, i recently read somewhere trying to downgrde from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 will mess my phone up. Is that true?
EDIT- I do remember the first time i tried this after sparsechunk.1, is sad "image file is too large" but kept on goiing anyways

motoboot.img and boot.img are not the same thing. Be careful renaming these files, or else you will destroy your phone. If there is no boot.img included then that zip has been messed with by someone.
The 'image file is too large' message should not be ignored - it means the firmware has not flashed at all. Nothing has changed on your phone; flash has not been successful.

lost signal moto xt1039, partition backup request

I've lost cellular signal in my xt1039 device. Tried many things including reflash firmware/ flash modem... with no permanent solution.
At last fellow brother @lost101 suggested to flash some partitions stated here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/story-lost-recovery-imei-0-t3414511 as a solution. But by searching in google i cant find any.
Can any of you be kind enough to take backup of "dhob" "fsc" "misc" and "hob" partitions from your xt1039 device and by sharing those help me fix my phone? I'll be greatfull forever.
Backing up partition is easy, just install partition backup in your rooted phone. Select raw partition image from setting menu. And its done.
promote
I'm posting this comment just to promote this post, please help me with those partitions if you can.
As far I know, these partition's contain very sensitive data unique to the device. So do not upload these files, and do not flash these partitions on another device. For example, it could cause you to have the same IMEI as someone else, or a multitude of other issues.
As for the actual issue, do your IMEI show up correctly in Android, or is it only the signal that is broken?

My imei is intact. Its just my cellular signal that doesn't work. And its not only my issue, there are many with the same problem but no solution. So here I am requesting those partition to try as a solution as stated in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/story-lost-recovery-imei-0-t3414511 . I've tried everything else that i could find.
In my country wifi network isn't that available. So without cellular network a phone here is as good as dead. Can you suggest any solution?
Flashing those partitions most likely won't fix your network signal, and could make the problem much worse. In the OP you say you flashed the stock modem, so what method did you use to do this? Did you get the stock firmware and run:
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

did those, tried flashing full firmware and downgrading too... nothing worked. Any other suggestions?
Usually factory firmware would fix it, so it could be a hardware issue. Under what conditions did you lose signal - did you flash a ROM?

This is the newest (at least at the time of post) update, dated Oct 1, 2018
Instructions to revert back to stock firmware and make it so that you can get OTA updates again:
To install, extract the zip file in your adb/fastboot directory and then make sure you are properly connected to your computer by running the command
Code:
fastboot devices
Then, once you confirm you are properly connected, just run the following fastboot commands one line at a time, making sure spelling is correct (or copying and pasting to ensure proper spelling):
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
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 erase DDR
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
After this is complete, simply reboot your device, and as long as you did everything right, you should be back on stock firmware with the ability to receive OTA updates.
Flashing a stock recovery,unencrypting your phone, or rooting will make OTA fail, so i recommend waiting to do those things until you are fully updated (unless you don't care about the latest build).
Just to cover my ass, i had nothing to do with the making of these files and I am simply posting well known information for newer users to help them get back to stock.
Therefore, i claim no responsibility for any damage or bricking of your device.
Have a good day friends and if I helped you out, a 'thanks' would be appreciated :good:

I got mine to work because I have a James device.... You mention Hannah device so guessing you flashed the wrong firmware and that's the issue. I have the James xt1921-3

I know I'm not the only one who has been having trouble finding the stock firmware for the Moto e5 play xt1921-3 MetroPCS/TMobile variant, code named James, that wasn't posted by @MotoJunkie01 and therefore blocked and undownloadable.
So thanks to @HPLazerJetPrinter1012 who was kind enough to find it on XDA in another section and thanks to @timjames474 for posting it in that thread....
VERY IMPORTANT IMHO THAT YOU BACKUP YOUR IMEI INFORMATION AS SOON AS YOU ROOT YOUR DEVICE, PREFERABLY BEFORE FLASHING A CUSTOM ROM. GOING FROM CUSTOM OREO BACK TO STOCK CAN EASILY ERASE ALL YOUR PHONES IMEI INFO MAKING VOLTE AND 4G AND PHONE INOPERABLE. HAPPENED TO ME AND IT WAS A HUGE P.I.T.A. TO FIX.

This is the newest (at least at the time of post) update, dated Oct 1, 2018
Instructions to revert back to stock firmware and make it so that you can get OTA updates again:
To install, extract the zip file in your adb/fastboot directory and then make sure you are properly connected to your computer by running the command
Code:
fastboot devices
Then, once you confirm you are properly connected, just run the following fastboot commands one line at a time, making sure spelling is correct (or copying and pasting to ensure proper spelling):
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
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 erase DDR
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
After this is complete, simply reboot your device, and as long as you did everything right, you should be back on stock firmware with the ability to receive OTA updates.
Flashing a stock recovery,unencrypting your phone, or rooting will make OTA fail, so i recommend waiting to do those things until you are fully updated (unless you don't care about the latest build).
Just to cover my ass, i had nothing to do with the making of these files and I am simply posting well known information for newer users to help them get back to stock.
Therefore, i claim no responsibility for any damage or bricking of your device.

I keep getting unsecured network... Is this an issue from my end?
How do you backup IMEI in TWRP?
EFS?
Mine won't mount data for backup and cache in red
Or should I do it another way?
I have XT1924-2 AND I TOO HAVE IMEI=0 ANY FIXES?
Thank you!
This was very helpful, thanks!

That's a weird Necro-Response. Also updating doesn't fix IMEI, (even though this was over a year ago, they would need an IMEI flasher and the box/numbers found somewhere else)
