Is it safe to apply bootloader and/or modem updates from the XT1541 1GB on the 2GB edition?

I'm pretty confident for the bootloader it is(The bootloader.img is identical in all 3 Retail EU images), but for the modem files, only the fsg.mbn is the same, while NON-HLOS.bin is different in each of the 3 images.


Also, is there any point in "updating" the gpt.bin partition layout?
I'd assume I have to re-flash absolutely everything after that, as the partitions have changed and don't contain any useful data anymore.

Hello,

I need old version of Factory Firmware (before MPI24.65.33) because my phone (XT1541 ret. 1 GB) is locked via google accout verification and on build MPI24.63 or higher bypass not working.

Yes it should be safe to apply all three: Bootloader, non-hols.bin and fsg.mbn. gpt.bin may not be required, But erasing userdata is recommended.

I would say it's very unlikely such an image will be available now. Sorry.

Do a Factory Reset in Stock Recovery (see OP) and read this thread:

@lost101 it might be just me but in both xt1541 android mm versions i have a little but annoying problem.my wifi doesn't connect instantly to a network.i tested it in more modems and i have to go to settings>Wifi,wait 3 seconds to scan and it connects.I can also wait 15 seconds and it connects without accessing settings.I didn',t have to do this on lollipop.Is something wrong with my phone or the files?

Thanks in advance

I suspect it's an Android 6.0 quirk. I see the same behaviour on Moto G (1st Gen) running MM. If you have followed the flashing instructions - then there is nothing wrong with your phone. Maybe Android 6.0.1 improves things.

Are you erasing userdata as instructed?
