Help please !! - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guyzz i have an issue. I unlocked the booloader of moto e xt 1022 and rooted it to install the root flashable 5.0.2 zip. Facing memory issues, i decided to switch back to kk. But now when i flash the stock firmware , starting with the command mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin, it gives an error saying preflash validation failed. Again when i skip these comamnds and flash just the recovery, boot and modem files , all goes pretty well. So i just want to ask , can i relock my bootloader again ? For any warranty issues in future ??

Bricked my Moto E while downgrading from Lollipop to KK

I unrooted and relocked the bootloader to install Lollipop. Succeeded and installed the soak test version.
Here's where I screwed up. I tried downgrading to 4.4.4 using the factory firmware and now I'm unable to mount any partition or install any boot image. Every time I try installing an img via fastboot I get a "Prefetch validation failed". When I start the phone I get "Invalid boot image header".
What works:
Recovery (TWRP) - Can't install anything because cache, data, system cannot be mounted.
Followed these steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/video-tutorial-downgrade-moto-e-android-t3032738
I was able to install TWRP. But these are not mounting - cache, system, data.
I was able to flash gpt.bin.
Can someone please give links to 5.0.2 firmware? Why am I not able to flash the 4.4.4 firmware?
how did you install lollipop ..through stock recov or twrp.
Did it from recovery via adb sideload.
I'm able to flash all the images except: motoboot.img and gpt.bin.
I have a running android system but the SIM card is not getting detected at all.

I think you should clean install Soak lollipop update from ADB sideload again... Maybe it will help...
Or try Custom Roms! like cm12 or PAC... But remember, Do flash a rom of lollipop... and forget kitkat for now!1!!!

motoboot.img and gpt.bin are not supposed to b flashed..................as for ur SIM, maybe u flashed the wrong firmware..............
I tried installing the lollipop firmware through ADB but it aborts after verification. I've tried other ROMs, everything works fine except that the SIM doesn't detect at all.
System, modem, recovery, boot all get flashed fine. Except motoboot and gpt.bin which fail to flash saying "preflash validation failure". Is the SIM not detecting because these 2 images fail to get flashed?
moto r hard brick
heloo guys i have MOTO E i updates it to LOLIPOP.. wch ws soak version realized..!!
after a time downgraded it 4.4.2 wia fastboot going in moto e bootloader menu..!!
it ws successful..!! afterwards i updated it to 4.4.4 from OTA .. and while updateing phn went into recovery, and turn off!!
n it dint start again ..!! and now it does not turn onn.. the led blinks when i connect it to charger..!!
i also tried the BLANKFLASH way.. but the files given are for MOTO G..!!! my cell was DEAD ..!!
so i went to the SERVICE CENTER and told them that my cell is in WARENNTY and it does not turn on since i updatedet to 4.4.4
they ACCEPTED and they are going to change my MOTHERBOARD in FREE of cost..!!!

Reflashing Stock Firmware

Hello, I'm trying to flash stock firmware on the Moto E, Model number is XT1023, and my device won't boot. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the software, but it's still showing that bootloader warning screen and not booting to OS. I was wondering if this had anything to do with it. When I tried to flash the gpt.bin it cam back with an error saying preflash validation failed. But it's weird because the bootloader's unlocked already.
Use this guide
http://dev-viraj.blogspot.in/2015/02/flash-official-android-444-on-moto-e.html
But plz Download the firmware for XT1023 from here http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f78...-x-x-5-x-x-stock-firmware-flash-tool-2003127/ instead of link in guide.

Moto E 2015 Surnia XT1527 Bricked: locked bootloader and preflash validation error

Hey guys i tried to install latest Android version on my Surnia (XT1527) but i bricked it, only i can get into bootloader (the bootloader is locked) my pc can't recognize the COM Qualcomm port (i'm trying hard to use QFIL), so i was thinking on use another moto E XT1527 to retrieve a full image of the system to flash it on my device, but i don't know how to do that or what i need for that, trying to flash some stock firmwares keep giving an error (preflash validation failed).
Can you help me with that??
QFIL never worked for me.
Check https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759495.
Forget the adb part, just check if fastboot recognizes your device and try the steps.
I think you can also install custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader. Ones that is done you can try to install your custom rom.

Did you solve the 'preflash validation error'?? mine keeps giving that error and i tried all the versions of the ROM, all i need is to install a custom recovery without unlocked bootloader, can you help me explaining what have you done? thanks
With locked bootloader you cannot flash custom recovery(even boot).
You can try to flash the newest stock rom without commands:
fastboot flash bootloader...
fastboot flash partition...

Hello everybody....
I bought a new device "INFINIX HOT 9 PLAY" X680B .
I managed to root it so first of all i unlocked the bootloader and then i went to make a rooted boot.img on magiske app . Ofcours the boot.img is from same firmware thats on device. And then turned phone into fastboot mode and i flashed the rooted boot.img with command "fastboot flash boot boot.img . And everything was good and reboot phone by command "fastboot reboot" then the phone didn't boot into system and always restarts then i knew that the process was failed. So i flashed the phone with same stock firmware with after sales software tool . And the phone worked normally. But i went to make a rooted boot.img again cuz i thought maybe i made mistake with something. Then i flashed rooted boot.img again and THEN THE PROBLEM: THE PHONE SHOWING ME "RED STATE .

same here issue STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (0xC0060003)
@Rodisyr
bootloader lock status is on seccfg if you formatted seccfg during flash device is re-locked.
2nd time you probably flashed unsigned boot on locked bootloader which causes RED state.
then you probably formatted secro now the authentification program is lost.
find secure boot authentification file for your device and flash stock boot.
next time unlock bootloader first and use fastboot for flashing only, much more save
