5.1 OTA failed, device stuck in fastboot - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The device's bootloader is locked. I tried to update it via an OTA (was on 4.4.4) and about 30% in it restarted into fastboot mode.
Whatever option I try it says:
"hab check failed for system
failed to validate system image"
or
"hab check failed for boot
failed to validate boot image"
I figured I'd reflash 4.4 via fastboot, but I can't find the firmware. Also, since it was 30% into lollipop, I don't know if I should flash the Lollipop rom instead.
It's a XT1025 from Brazil (dual SIM+TV).
Any ideas?

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:

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

bricked Moto E 2015

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!

Fastboot not working

Hi everyone !
Some month ago I flashed on my device a beta test of Nougat for Honor 5c. Yesterday I wanted to leave it and go back to a stable rom but I was unable to find a flashable ZIP of stock Rom so I used FlashFire to flash a update.app firmware package (some **** from Huawei...).
After flashing it I tried to reboot my phone but I just got a Error Mode - Please update your system again. (and Recovery image error + load error)
To solve this I reboot to fastboot and on my computer I tried to flash TWRP with fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and I got a error : remote : command not allowed. I search and search and search on forums but I found nothing.
I tried some other fastboot commands, i tried to boot from a img, ... but nothing, just Command not allowed.
I have a Honor 5c NEM-L51, fastboot is "working" lol, no recovery, no force dload update, bootloader unlocked, FRP lock (idk what is this), i was rooted with Magisk and I flashed the package with FlashFire.
Please help me :crying:

Blocked on eRecovery, can't flash recovery Oreo

Hi,
My Honor 9 (STF-L09C432B360) was rooted with Magisk and I had TWRP. I did a factory reset without flashing stock recovery before crying and now I'm stuck on the eRecovery. I tried to flash the stock recovery and it failed (Command not allowed). Same trying to flash TWRP again. When I try the option "Download latest version and recovery" it fails too.
How can I get back my phone?
Thanks
Would it work if I use it?

[SOLVED] I think I bricked my Mi 10 - Please help

Hi,
So long story short, I tried to get good phone for someone for a good price, I ordered a Xiaomi Mi 10 from China - But it came with a bunch of Chinese bloatware so I wanted to flash the Global ROM and have Google on there
I added it to my Xiaomi account, unlocked the bootloader (waited 168 hours), then followed instructions from a youtube video (
)
It worked well - I used adb to flash TWRP, and was able to install the Global ROM from xiaomi.eu using TWRP (version 12-11) (filename: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI10_V12.2.9.0.RJBCNXM_v12-11)
This worked well and everything went smooth, and I thought I was done, then I wanted to remove the device from my Xiaomi account, so I did remove the device from my account via Mi Cloud, and then I went to factory reset the phone, and then it just keeps booting into Fastboot.
I tried to hold buttons to boot into TWRP (volume UP and Power) but just goes into Fastboot, I tried to flash TWRP again via adb using "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" but am getting this error when I run "fastboot boot twrp.img" - FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')
Please let me know if there is anything I can do - even to get back to the chinese stock ROM
Thanks in advance
Hi all - I solved the problem by using the Global Fastboot ROM and MiFlash tool - I got a CRC error "update sparse crc list failed" but followed some advice to edit the "Flash.all" script and remove the 2 lines that contain "CRC"
Then the Flash process worked and the phone did boot into Global ROM
The xiaomieu stable version has a problem with custom recovery, so you grabbed fastboot.
if you want to use recovery, you need to boot recovery via ADB with the command fastboot boot recovery ....
Do not use on a stable version of xiaomieu recovery via the restart button to recovery
Actually, one can boot to recovery via restart button, but only after flashing the twrp 3.4.0 little turtle.
However, this recovery isn't able to decrypt the partitions, and could be used for flashing ROMs only from OTG drive.
The one that does decrypt and could be used in "normal" way is twrp 3.4.2.1206, but this one can only be booted as you said with fastboot boot recovery.img
