im not sure that there are unbrick files for that system version yet. what info does the bootloader say? (bootloader version, etc)
also, just as a warning, Motorola typically makes downgrading impossible. bootloader versions lock in and prevent downgrading.

I have the xt1225 that was running the brazil marshmallow soak test. If I downgraded to kit kat and accidentally let the lollipop OTA install, would I need different unbrick files since coming from a marshmallow gpt.bin? Any help would be appreciated since I can't get past greeting device for command mode using the files in the OP.

Edit: nevermind I just needed to use the right qualcomm drivers

Can this be used to downgrade from su-49 and then root/bootloader unlock?
No you cannot downgrade the OTA and I believe if you even attempted to try and downgrade the BL you'd end up with a bricked device your SOL unless you sell it and get a DT running SU4TL-44 or SU3TL-39

I'd say if you wanna try running sunshine on SU4TL-49 the worst case it won't work I don't think it would harm the device (but there's always a risk) so try it see what happens if your gutsy enough

Sunshine team says no, Sunshine will NOT work on SUTL-49. There's a whole thread devoted to it, that Sunshine team member @jcase started to warn people NOT to take SUTL-49 back in May 2016.

Just a PSA, after the new SU4TL-49 5.1 update SunShine will be unable to unlock the bootloader. If you are already unlocked, you are fine (dont relock it!).

If you take the 5.1-SU4TL-49 or 6.0 beta update prior to unlocking, then you are so out of luck.

did you install the official motorola usb driver where you can find in some twrp or root threads for droid turbo or maxx xt1225?
I found that my pc can't recognize the phone in bootloader mode when I didn't install it.

Hi all,

Do you think this turbo unbrick method could work with a N910F (Note 4)?

Thanks
Doesn't Odin help?

Hi everyone!, i not find any solution about my error "sdl-transfer-image"; my "XT1225" still continue bricked, only mode "Qualcomm 9008". The "qboot blank-flash" method not working, every time I run I have the same "sdl-transfer-image" error, please i need help, any other method for unbrick?, jtag?, factory cable?, someone help me?; if I can corrupt the "boot", would have some possibility that the method "qboot" works for me ?, because, for many was the only solution this method... Excuse me for my bad english...

What i did

Please help me i have bricked my droid turbo xt1254
My scneario
1. I unlocked my bootloader by sunshine on su-44 & took update to su-49
2. I went back to kitkat every thing was fine until i took the update that is around 235mb(Also i was on twrp here)
3. After update everything goes blank & it was showing the qualcomm port i.e "9008"

4. I flash turbo unbrick 5.1 file, now i have a screen of bootloader, but i cannot flash any of the file "gpt.bin, radio.img,bootloader.img "
it says pre flash validation failed

Please help i cant afford another:crying:
I unbrick this on windows 7, usb 2.0 port with all specific drivers pre required.

As i was on lollipop so i downloaded files of 5.1 "https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-o0d4PkVUwBfnhobDFpNkZIazl3YThKNE5iWkw3eVgtNzl5aXQwTTdCNElBVTd5VWc5V3c download "Turbo_Unbrick_5.1" folder only. The other files uploaded "bootloader.img,gpt.bin,radio.img" are of build SU-44 i.e why i got pre-flash validation failed error.

1. Important to remember check which build no was your last , As i took update to SU-49, so i was flashing su-44 bootloader files that is why i got pre-flash validation.
2. I was already on SU-49 & have already upgraded my bootloader so i flashed SU-49 bootloader files, here is the full link http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/droid-turbo-xt1254-bootloader-radio-t3259327.
Direct link SU-44 bootloader https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24391638059060254,
Direct link SU-49 bootloader https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369360125980
3. Now Download the files according to your previous bootloader build no & extract.
4. Put the files gpt.bin, radio.img, bootloader.img, to the “C:\adb” folder on your PC and run the next commands in the command line:

Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot
Hope this help
