Hello Guys,
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I have been given a Moto Z, but its currently in a weird state, boots but during setup it just hangs at the Wi-fi page.
Not a problem, i will just flash it, like my other Moto's using RSD lite.
But RSD is not picking up the device, I have installed the latest Moto drivers but still nothing is shown in RSD.
Is there something that I have missed or is there a different way to flash this phone ?

Hello,
I will try this version and see.if it makes a difference.
I had the same probem here to flash a rom and this video help me a lot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njXQYn53SPc
unfortunately that version of Rsd didn't make any difference
Thanks a lot,
This worked for me 100%, took a while to create the batch file but now my Moto z is fully working.

I have a Moto Z which is currently unusable as no firmware provides working Wifi, custom roms are bringing up errors and the like. Could you post the ROM you flashed yours with, and this batch file you are talking about so I can try that route?

I flashed Verizon firmware (my Moto Z is XT1650 -03 GRIFFIN and bootloader unlocked) from this link (https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip)
The bat file that works with this rom you can download here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0Re71K5j65rNWl4X3ptX0t0dms
You should unzip the rom and after unzip the second file inside rom's folder. Connect you device in flash mode and run servicefile.bat
Thanks for your response. It flashed correctly, but the Wifi issue is stil there. MAC address is valid, but it cannot find any networks that are floating through the air. I can just assume some kind of hardware defect, but since I unlocked the bootloader I cannot return it. **** happens.

I'm irritated... afaik the 1650-03 is Europe/global but not US. Verizon is clearly a US provider, so it might be wrong to use a stock ROM from a US provider for a non-US-phone?

We just want to test this rom to use all processor capacity, once the original for us limited it in 1.8 Ghz....

So I have had the THL W3+ (dual core) for months now and I have to admit that it is a great phone. However, I believe that it would run a million times better with Jellybean installed. It comes with ICS and there has been no update released (right?)
So I was wondering if there was any way to get Jellybean on this device. It runs the MTK6577 processor on which Jellybean has been installed on other phone so I don't see why the W3+ hasn't got the update yet.
Thanks in advance!

I guess we have to wait for ThL to release an update, or wait for someone who can help us port jellybean.
I'm a novice but if I happen to successfully port jellybean, I'll post the link

Thank you, that would be great! I wish I could help but I'm a newbie. I just know the technical jargon.
However, I just stumbled on a result on google in which a customer review said that "since the just new jelly bean update" the phone runs much smoother? I don't even know how to check for an update because I don't have the option under Settings > About Phone.

There's no option to check for update in the phone menus.
The update will be posted on their website http://en.thl.com.cn/Download/Index.html
About the review you came across, I've also seen it before.
Being desperate for jellybean update, I even registered on that website in order to contact the person who made that comment.
But I was dissapointed as the name wasn't clickable despite registration.
Right now, I even doubt that comment cos I've searched extensively for jellybean without success.
Maybe the person doesn't know how to check Android version.

Any firmware you suggest? The one that came with my phone had issues with the G-Sensor and the update the official website offers doesn't let me have apps like Viber and Grindr.

The firmware that came with my phone allowed Viber. And it's the same version on the website. You should click on "w3 dual core version" not "w3 upgrade" as that upgrade is meant for the MT6575 single core version only.
I saw a comment on the firmware talking about G sensor. I think it would fix your problem. it says " Oct. 8, 2012 update: 1. Optimize the shooting effect of rear camera; 2. Improve the compatibility of the G-sensor to solve the problems of some gravity sensor failure; "
Right now I'm using a firmware labeled ThL.w3.121113.6577.COM.EN
I got it from a Russian forum where they claimed it was the latest official firmware (contrary to what I saw in the linkhttp://en.thl.com.cn/Download/Index.html I posted earlier)
Before I recommend a firmware, what version are you running currently?

I'm running the rom I found on needrom the website. Not sure which version it is. It comes with Samsung SIII wallpaper and sound effects. I don't like it though.
I tried to find the firmware you are using ATM but I can't find a download link. Do apps like Viber work on it? And the G-sensor?

I'm finding it difficult flashing this ROM since I'm not sure which ZIP file to flash. There are no ZIP files, only RARs. And they include unnecessary stuff like USB VCOM DRIVER
Edit:
I think I will keep this frimware (the one I said I got from needrom). I just flashed gapps so App store works great. I'd love it if you could post when the Jelly Bean update comes out. I believe this phone could be great with a little more support. Jelly Bean would make it so much more smooth!

ok, I assumed you knew how to flash using SP Flash Tool.
Anyway this is the link to the firmware http://yadi.sk/d/pSQ23rqr29rai
It can only be flashed using SP Flash tool. not from recovery as you did with your current ROM.
if you don't know how to use the tool, you might need to wait for jellybean update.
But hey... even if they release jellybean won't it be in the same format as the one you just got from their site?
they even bundled it with sp Flash tool.

I actually just learned to use it. That comment about the Jelly Bean update format being the same made me REALLY motivated.
I'm flashing the latest firmware from their official site although I'm pretty sure that is the firmware which doesn't support apps like Viber. Thanks a lot

Can you help me reinstall this phone's recovery without using recovery mode? Is that possible at all? Because at this point recovery mode keeps flashing purple colours like the screen goes really weird and all I can do is just restart the phone back into the OS. And the latest firmware doesn't have google apps such as the play store so I need to flash those, but without recovery working I can't.

That happened to me too when I flashed a recovery I downloaded.
The latest firmware I flashed overwrote the recovery to the default.
I'm pretty sure the official firmware you downloaded will solve the problem cos it's exactly the same version that shipped with my phone (version; Oct. 8, 2012). Viber and play store worked perfectly.
In case you only want the recovery back, here's how:
to flash a recovery using sp Flash tool.
what you need is an image file called recovery.img and a scatter file.
1. Create a new folder. Preferably in a path without special characters (just to be safe). example C:\User\recovery
2. Locate these two files inside the official firmware you downloaded, and extract them into the created folder.
recovery.img and MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt
Switch off your phone and Do not connect phone to PC yet.
3. Run the Flash Tool and click on Scatter-loading and point it to the MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt file
4. Only the RECOVERY option should be ticked by now.
5. Click on download then connect your phone using the USB cable.
It would download the recovery image to your phone and show a green circle as sign of completion.
That's it.
EDIT: Don't forget to backup your data
EDIT 2: Since you want to flash the official firmware, it will automatically repair your recovery.
in that case just skip steps 1-2 and start from step 3 above and when you get to step 4, all the options will be ticked.

Got a Cricket Moto E.
Removed sim lock.
Bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked.
The Cricket 4.4.4 ROM is crippled with all tethering options disabled. PDANet works for USB tethering, but not for Wifi
Saw this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755857&page=12 with 4.4.4 factory images.
Tried to switch by flashing retail as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759495
According to post #3 in that thread - it should work
Q1: Will this work on locked bootloaders?
Ans: Yes as stock firmwares are digitally signed by Motorola.
Howeever I'm getting
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
when try to flash the retail version.
The bottom line - I need wifi tethering, not even a different firmware and/or root.
What are my options, if any?
TIA.
BUMP! This is becoming quite a common phone (for 50$ it's a great deal). However the locked bootloader is quite a roadblock for those (like me) who go crazy running stock firmware, whether it be so you can tweak your kernel settings for optimal battery life/performance, use xposed framework (gotta save those snapchats), use tethering apps or just so you can run Pimp My ROM..
I'm hoping that my post on this will draw some sort of attention to this issue.
Maybe the images you are using are for 4.4.2
Maybe the images are for 4.4.2. I faced such a situation long time ago and have found this:

hello guys, first of all excuse my english its not my main language. i really need your help! about a week ago, i unlocked the bootloader/rooted my moto e XT1021 and put cm12 nightly on it. after a couple of days, it asked me to do a cyanogenmod system update via OTA, so i did. but when it first booted the phone after that, it kept saying that the user UI crashed, everytime. so i couldn't go anywhere on my phone! I tried wiping cache and dalvik cache, nothing worked. so i wiped all the data on my phone and unroot it and put a stock firmware on it. at this point, i saw that i did not have any signal on my phone, but I taught it wasnt really important, so i re-rooted it and I flashed cm12 again. It worked great but i didnt have no service.. so i check on google and all that to see if i could fix this, i tried flashing the rom with TWRP and CWM, and it didnt change anything. I tried flashing an earlier version of the cm12 nightly, didnt work. now i put back the stock rom again, nothing is working! oddly, when i look in about phone > status, I CAN see my phone number and my IMEI are there. but it says that radio is off. for that, i tried doing *#*#4636#*#* in my dialer to go in the phone information menu to activate the radio, but nothing worked. and when i go to my quick settings, I can see that my airplane mode is off, but when i hold the power button and see the shut down options, it tells me that my airplane mode is on! I really dont know what to do, and i really need your help. i know its a long read, but please help me out! if you need more info just tell me maybe i forgot some things.. thanks alot

You most probably flashed the wrong firmware for your device. You need to find the correct firmware or a firmware for the same region, e.g. if you have a UK version device then the EU firmware should work too, but if you flash the Brazilian firmware you will lose GSM signal. If you flash the wrong firmware version and then flash any custom ROM you will still not have GSM signal, so you need to flash the correct firmware and then the custom ROM.
If you are unsure which is the correct firmware for your device, go to bootloader mode, open command window (cmd.exe) and enter the following:
Code:
fastboot getvar ro.build.version.full
You will get the correct firmware version in output.

That is a retail US variant, not sure if it's XT1023 or XT1021 though, you can find out by reading the label on the box of your device.
You can find the stock firmwares for US devices here.
If this doesn't help you then write a post in this thread and OP (lost101) can probably help you out.

Actually i'm not a hero, in fact i was in the same boat as you. I didn't have the stock ROM (or its details) for my device when i flashed CM11 so when i wanted to return to the stock ROM i found an XT1021 US stock ROM thinking that because it's XT1021 it should work on my GB device, i flashed it and the outcome was: no GSM signal. Then i posted in the thread i shared in my previous post and the OP (lost101) found the GB stock ROM for me, i flashed it and got GSM signal back.

Then i posted in the thread i shared in my previous post and the OP (lost101) found the GB stock ROM for me, i flashed it and got GSM signal back.

Sorry, i don't have Moto E or G anymore. BTW you are posting in MOTO E XT1021 forum, XT1068 and XT1072 are Moto G 2nd gen.
Hi everybody,
I got my hands on a Z5 Compact Prototype (really cool, it has xx MP written on the back and a few other quirks), otherwise it's a completely normal phone. The model is still E5823, customization 1298-7258 R5B and current software 32.0.A.4.11 (5.0.1).
I'm wondering, is it possible to flash the latest Nougat or at least a MM stock ROM using the Sony Mobile Flasher? I'm asking because I'm afraid I might brick it (I never flashed a ROM in the Mobile Flasher beforehand). The drivers look OK, it is detected as an ADB device.
Also, is there any way to backup the current ROM and to revert to it later if needed? I tried the Xperia Companion/Repair my Sony but I don't think it works on this new version.
Thanks in advance.

Are you rooted? If you are you can try and take the build.prop from a retail unit firmware and replace yours with it. This way you will avoid hard bricking it. Also, take note of the firmware you are running and download Xperifirm (there you can check which exactly it is and download new firmwares directly). Xperia Companion might not work because 1) you are running a pre-release ROM and 2) differences in actual unit. *IF* it's the second one, I'd be very careful (tho with Flashtool you should be fine, Sony phones are hard to hard brick).
EDIT: You can compare the build.prop files and use common sense to find out whether it will be of any use to actually replace it..

Thanks for the tips.
I managed to flash a stock E5823 32.2.A.0.305 firmware (6.0.1) and it works perfectly. It's just that it detects an OTA Update for the 32.2.A.5.11 but it cannot install it; looks like flashing with Flashtool is the only option. I guess I'll wait for a stable 7.0 and I'll flash it afterwards.

This is excellent news! Since it's a prototype the FOTA partitions might not have been set up or don't work properly (if you have a saved Flashtool log you might be able to see which it is, although they should be fine since flashing hasn't failed ) but that's ok since you can use Flashtool. Are you going to root it? Also, Nougat is out, so be sure to root before you update :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:
I've already flashed the latest (.378) Nougat build and it works great, just like before.
I know that there were some problems with root on Nougat. I don't really need root access because I don't use the device as a daily driver, but if I'd like to get root access I need to revert to MM via Flashtool? Can I still do that now?
PS: You can see a review of it with MM installed right here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/general/short-review-sony-z5-compact-prototype-t3555140
Hello mihaixp,
Did you end up running into any issues?

That's awesome! I also unwittingly bought a prototype and wanted to flash it to Nougat, but am worried about bricking it. How did you go about flashing it?
oh my god this is the tread i found, i have XZ premium prototype one looking for the way to flash original firmware. i found XZ premium firmware from Xpirifirm already downloaded and create ftf(as it really new one so i see no device number to pick i rather pick XZ name on it anyhow it is create with no issue).
but the problem is i go to flash it and flash tools newest version ask me to enter flash mode. i did but it did not go i do not know why, anyone knows why it cant be flash? do i need to install any drivers? or anything else to flash it? or it just need to wait for flashtools to update support for my device first? thanks in advance

I unlocked my bootloader. As long as you are fine with your warranty being void I don't wee what it could hurt to do so. I am trying to figure out if different firmware can be installed also

ooh! to unlock the bootloader is the same process as always or something new? I haven't had a moto for a long time, I don't remember anymore and I'm really interested is possible to flash another firmware? Do you know the codename of this model to look for the firmware on the web since I still don't have a laptop... so I can see for myself

I haven't had the same issue unfortunately
I'm also trying to change the software channel.
Is there a way to change the ro.carrier value?
