[XT1058] Trying to flash stock firmware -> gpt.bin error and risk to brick

[santi1993]

Hi, im having a unlocked xt1058, i just upgraded the phone to last 5.1 OTA, unlocked the BL and installed CM13 without problems at all, now after some researching ive noticed that my gps is bugged and im needing to get back to stock to make it work in CM13, everything cool at this point, just downloaded the latest firmware for my device on my cid and there's where problems started.

I've just downloaded XT1058_GHOST_RETAR_5.1_LPA23.12-15_cid12_CFC.xml from march of 2016, uncompress it on a fastboot folder that ive created for flashing purposes and started the flashing process.

First command i put into the fastboot is fastboot flash partition gpt.bin and the phone BL and fastboot returned to me errors.

From phone:
getvar has-slotartition
getvar partition-typeartition
getvar max-download-size
downloading 32768 bytes
done
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT

From cmd:
target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.247s]
writing 'partition'...
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 1.089s

I dont want to start test things without knowing it at all, is the first time im flashing a firmware to my moto x, all the other things ive done was under OTA automation, now im BL unlocked and i think i can mess the phone, can u help me please? ^^

Hi @omy4069, thanks for reply!

My problem is that i cannot reflash stock firmware due gpt.bin error, can u gimme some help in that? i was thinking that i maybe can flash the rest of the modules via fastboot but i dont want to brick my phone cuz of flashing a boot.img on a no compatible gpt.bin or somewhat, im cid12.

Thanks afterwards! i want to go back to stock to test some things and being safe of a possible brick testing further roms or recoveries.

Hi, the command is fastboot erase modemst1 and modemst2, the ones u guided are wrong.

And the rom is based on CM, im trying to get into stock, ty for the idea, ill try a AOSP rom to try get locked, but my problem atm is another, i cant flash stock firmware.

your bootloader is locked. you can not flash custom recovery with bootloader locked.

if it is verizon, it cannot be unlocked in any way except you have kitkat 4.4.2. then sunshine app may unlock your bootloader. they charge around 25$. google it.

i have 4.2.2 developer version so is there anyway to unlock the bootloader without sunshine ?

if it is developer edition then it may be already unlocked or can easily be unlocked from motorola. check your device status by going into bootloader.

power down your phone and power it up by holding both volume keys.

i cant flash any 5.1 firmware cuz my phone is updated via OTA from the last 5.1 gpt.bin, im at 30.BE (sha-34b7ccb from april 22 2015) my device is unlocked but i cannot get any cid12 firmware compatible with my gpt.bin and im having some modem issues, im really in a closed street way, im loving my phone but i cannot flash any firmware on it :S

 

[forbourne]

if your boot loader is already on 30.BE then you must have also flashed updated modem as well. so it shouldn't be modem issue any more.

try AICP 11.0 rom for moto x, if audio is working fine on this rom then it means it is rom related bugs and not your modem issue.

thanks
