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.

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:

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

Hi guys,
I unlocked bootloader of my moto e 2nd gen 3g model,
again i relocked bootloader, not it gives following message
"invalid system image", so i hav to unlock bootloader again, to avoid this
Can any one please help me over this
When the bootloader is locked, it will not boot unless the ROM is properly signed and unmodified. Follow the return to stock procedure and reflash the signed Motorola ROM for it to boot with a locked bootloader. I don't know if the stock images are yet available for your model (3G). If they aren't, you will have to live with an unlocked bootloader for now.
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 ??
I tried to install android 6.0 XT1521 without unlocking the bootloader, and as it was an official rom motorola believed that would be possible. However it did not work and since I have not unlocked the bootloader, I can not go back to the retail XT1523 stock ROM
I was able to flash gpt.bin and bootloader.img, but things went south on boot.img. Now the bootloader is stuck with the following error:
Code:
version downgraded for boot
failed to validate boot image
Trying to flash boot.img (or system) fails with error:
Code:
hab check failed for boot
Failed to verify hab image boot
Trying to go back to XT1523 ROM fails with:
Code:
version downgraded for aboot
Trying to unlock the bootloader fails with:
Code:
Enable OEM Unlock
Which is obvious because I haven't enabled it on the phone, but it sucks because I can't boot and enable it.
So, here goes my questions:
- What does the "hab check failed" means? Is there any way to bypass it and finish flashing the XT1521 ROM?
- Is there any way to unlock the bootloader without enabling it first on developer settings?
- Is there anything I can do other than waiting that 6.0 gets rolled to XT1523 phones, and that a stock ROM for it gets leaked?
Thanks a lot for your kindly help!
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...
