[SOLVED] Moto E4 Qualcomm XT1768 - Stock Rom Problem

[kuchbhinet]

So I wanted to root my phone. Everything worked. Then I decided to factory reset my phone. Phone kept going in recovery mode. I wipe all (system,data,cache,dalvik) and tried to install stock rom from firmware center using RSDlite , but I couldn't. I keep getting "Failed flashing process. 3/23 flash partition "gpt.bin" "

I guess this because the stock rom is potentially downgrading the phone as there was a security update to the phone last month.

Other things I tried :
Wiped everything, tried custom rom (LineageOS) - Kept getting stuck in bootloader.

Please help

When you flash a custom rom, do you try to boot to system from the recovery? If so, boot into the bootloader right away from the recovery and select "qcom" and press the power button. This is what I have to do.

Try flashing another boot.img with a custom rom

Finally working

So, basically the problem was that the stock rom wouldn't install as my phone had been updated.

so whenever I tried to flash the stock rom using RSDlite it would fail at gpt.bin (which was the first operation).

Solution was to extract the xml.zip and edit the xml files to remove the operations that would flash gpt.bin .

Luckily the other files flashed successfully.

how do we do that to have it skip flashing gpt.bin? i tried erasing the line that said flash gpt but it still gives the same error

Just use the updated firmware.
