OVERVIEW:
First and foremost, when installing a stock firmware package on your Moto E6 -- or any Motorola smartphone, for that matter -- the simplest and most efficient method is to use the Lenovo-Moto Rescue & Smart Assistant (LMSA) via the firmware rescue option. Whether you are restoring your device to full stock condition, or restoring a device stuck in a boot loop, or that is otherwise unable to boot into the Android OS, the LMSA tool is your best route. The tool will download the most current stock firmware package available for your model and will systematically install the package, all by following a few simple steps. The latest version of the LMSA for Windows can be downloaded here, from Lenovo's official support page: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101291, as well as a downloadable and easy-to-follow user guide.​
DISCLAIMER:
Flashing the partitions of your device carries with it the inherent risk of bricking or damaging your phone. By proceeding further, you assume sole responsibility for the integrity and operability of your device. I am not responsible for any good or bad that may occur from the use of this guide. Follow the instructions carefully, and things should go smoothly.​
PREREQUISITES:
You will need a PC or laptop running on Windows 7/8/10/11, and the Motorola supplied (or quality equivalent) micro USB charging/syncing cable. Make sure your PC/laptop has the latest Motorola USB device drivers installed. The latest Motorola Device Manager can be downloaded from the official support page: https://support.motorola.com/us/en/solution/MS88481
This will install the most current Motorola USB device drivers. You'll need to install the Minimal ADB & Fastboot tools on your PC or laptop as well. Here is a direct link to the latest version https://mega.nz/file/z6gyzJya#TZWk0wuVuq5nJSnwsUx0KZClyj7M9BiEvqFdYH_dd6Q
Finally, you will need to download a stock firmware package for your particular model and carrier variant of the Moto E6. A full repo of Moto E6 Surfna official stock firmwares can be found here on the Lolinet mirror site: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/surfna/official/. Take care to download the firmware for your model and branded carrier, if applicable. It should be noted here that you may install a stock firmware package on your device regardless of whether the bootloader is unlocked. If your bootloader is locked, however, you may only install a firmware build newer than, or the same as, the build currently running on your device. In sum, you cannot downgrade firmware in a bootloader locked state.​
INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE: The fastboot flashing instructions below have been outlined verbatim from the flashfile.xml of the most current firmware package available for this device. Because the Surfna will not be receiving an official update to Android 10, and because the Surfna's allotted /system partition has been sized for a maximum of ten sparsechunk files (0 thru 9), there is no likelihood of these instructions changing in the future. Moreover, these instructions have been thoroughly tested.
1. Extract the contents of the stock firmware package to the ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC/laptop;
2. Boot your device into AP Fastboot mode. With the phone powered on or off, hold the power and volume down buttons simultaneously for 8 to 10 seconds, or until you see AP Fastboot mode on your device display;
3. Connect your phone to your PC/laptop using your charging/syncing cable. To ascertain a proper connection, open a command window in the path of your ADB/Fastboot directory and execute this command:​
Code:
fastboot devices
If properly connected, the command window will display an alphanumeric string synonymous with your device serial number. If you do not see your device serial number, try changing USB ports, use a different charge/sync cable, or try reinstalling your device drivers;
4. Once a proper connection has been verified, execute the following fastboot commands, preferably in this order (NOTE: the following procedure will erase all userdata on your device. Be sure, if possible, to back up any data or files you want to keep):​
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Upon reboot, your device will be reverted to its stock factory configuration and running official Motorola firmware. It should be noted that this process will not relock your bootloader if it was in an unlocked state at the time you used this guide. Moreover, you do not need a locked bootloader in order to install future OTA updates.​
Much thanks to @sd_shadow for his feedback.

I encourage anyone that is going to flash firmware to their device to get the flash commands from the flashfile.xml
The commands do change from time to time, moto may add another system sparsechunk.
There is a nice online flashfile converter, see link in my thread.

Always a great tip @sd_shadow Thanks for your input & guidance.

so extract stock firmware to be inside adb min folder n ie:c:\program files (x86)minimal adb and fastboot is that right?

That is correct. Then open your command window inside of that directory when ready to start flashing.

its seemed to work but it says bad key when booting up do you have any insight to that

Yes. The "Bad Key" and "N/A" notifications are not errors. They are simply indicators that you flashed a stock firmware package with your bootloader in an unlocked state. Although annoying, these dialogues do not have any effect on the functionality of the device. In fact, there are custom boot logos you can flash to get rid of the annoyance. Otherwise it has no impact whatsoever on normal operations.
This thread provides what you need to get rid of the "Bad Key" screen and restore the original stock boot logo
Boot Logos!
Flash this using fastboot to remove the black screen on boot. This is the original boot logo. I will update this with more logos very soon. fastboot flash logo logo.bin

[Firmware] Moto X Style/Pure Stock Software

So, many people including me are searching for all the stock software for ALL Style/Pure variants.
There is a thread which helps you going back to stock but only for the US version of the XT1572.
So i thought i'll open a new thread where you can grab all software files which belong to your phone.
Code:

Additional files that you maybe need.
@fdc77 provided some usefull stuff. In this folder you can find stock EU MM rom, and some MM/LL single zipped part of the rom, like boot.img, recovery.img and modem.
--Link--
Here is how to install:
you need adb/fastboot drivers installed
you need to backup all your data on your phone, the tool will erease everything
reboot your phone into bootloader mode and plug in your usb cable which is connected to your PC. (power off your device then press the POWER and VOLUME DOWN button for 3-4 seconds)
then you need to open a command prompt in the folder where you unpacked the zip file you downloaded before (press SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK on a empty space then "open command prompt here")
now you have to check the functionality of the adb drivers, simply type "fastboot devices" and you will see a list with your connected devices in bootloader mode.
now you need to type every single command in the command prompt window from the list below.
Code:
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

yea FileFactory is low as f*k, which file did you try to download? I may upload the EU version to another hoster.
It has the XT1572 as well. Also how about uploading to zippyshare? That's a really fast mirror

You had listed individual parts, e.g. only recovery.img, that's missing now. Still im the zip tho, was nice before, specially on slow file hoster.
Also the twrp backups. Which btw I am waiting to get for RetEU 6.0 :l

Yeah, the slow host was what ruined it for me to post them, or pull the recovery, etc. I can't do the twrp backups for anything other then the xt1575, cause that's all I own.

[GUIDE] How to dump boot image and root Nokia 3.2 / 4.2

If you want to repost this guide to other websites, please let me know before you repost.
For Chinese users: 中文版教程将会在dospy发布。
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So after you unlock the bootloader successfully, you definitely want to install custom ROM, or at least root the phone, right?
Here's the guide about rooting Nokia 3.2 / 4.2.
This guide could probably work on Nokia 6.2 / 7.2 in the future.
Step 1: Unlock the bootloader
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-4-2/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-nokia-4-2-t3962402
For Nokia 3.2, you'll need to read this as well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/guide-how-to-trigger-nokia-3-2-to-edl-t3962841
Step 2: Acknowledge current slot
You have two methods.
Method 1: After USB debugging enabled, execute this command:
Code:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix
Method 2: Under fastboot mode, execute this command:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
We assume the current slot is b.
Step 3: Trigger the phone to EDL mode again
There's a hidden command in aboot known as "fastboot reboot-emergency".
However, normal fastboot binary doesn't have that command at all, so we need to compile a binary or hack the binary.
For Windows users, I've provided the fastboot binary that can use this command, and I renamed it to edl-fastboot.exe. You can download it on the attachment below.
For macOS/Linux distro users, I'm afraid you have to fork the source code, edit related content and compile yourself.
So with this special version of fastboot binary, we can boot the phone to EDL mode directly:
Code:
edl-fastboot.exe reboot-emergency
But wait, why didn't you mention this command when you released bootloader unlock guide?
That's because, if you attempt to use this command under locked bootloader, bootloader will response "Permission denied, auth needed. " and refuse to proceed the command.
I don't know how the authentication is done yet, but it's definitely not something that average developers can access to.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 4: Use partition manager to dump the partition
If you've came so far when unlocking the bootloader, you have already know the great partition manager.
Still, we assume the COM port number is 8 (COM8).
When the partition list appears, find "boot_b" (or boot_a if the current slot is a), right click on it, choose "Manage Partition Data" and click "Read Data". Then fh_loader binary will dump the boot image to your PC.
For Windows users, it's located at
Code:
%AppData%\Qualcomm\QFIL\COMPORT_8
Where %AppData% is actually C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming .
The filename looks like this: ReadData_emmc_Lun0_0x3a000_Len65536_DT_07_09_2019_13_55_54.bin
Now close the partition manager, your phone will exit EDL mode and boot normally.
If you're interested in dumping full eMMC storage, you may want to read this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-how-to-dump-write-storage-t3949588
Step 5: Install Magisk Manager and patch the boot image you dumped
I think everyone who reading this guide knows where to download Magisk Manager.
Copy the boot image you dumped with QFIL to Download directory in your phone's internal storage, and rename it to boot.img for your convenience.
In case you don't know how to patch, read this guide: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#boot-image-patching
Step 6: Flash patched boot image and reinstall Magisk for ensurance
After you pulled patched boot image from your phone, reboot your phone to fastboot mode, then execute these commands:
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
Note, temporarily boot method introduced back for old A/B devices like Nokia 7 Plus no longer works on Nokia 3.2 / 4.2 - it will boot your phone to Qualcomm 900E mode.
Once your phone booted to normal OS, open Magisk Manager, and reinstall Magisk and required runtime to make the root much more effective.
You may want to read this guide if you want to inherit root along with OTA update: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/tutorials.html#ota-installation
Extra info about custom rom:
I've tested PHH-Treble GSI on Nokia 4.2 and it made me disappointed.
The vendor compatibility is worse than FIH made Android Phones.
You may want to read this for more details: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Nokia-4.2
Next preview: Stock firmware reinstallation guide. Note, Nokia 3.2 / 4.2 are not made by FIH, so OST LA no longer works on both devices.

not detected
my pc doesn't detect the phone when its in edl mode. before people start asking I unlocked the bootloader by enabling oem unlock in the phone settings.
I have a TA-1156 (a 3.2 variant) that has a different mainboard layout. For quite a while, I tried in vain to bring it into EDL mode - until I just tried the fastboot command "flash unlock" which worked.
I guess I should have tried that right away as I did have the OEM unlocking option in the developer setup.
Anyway, now I'm unlocked but can't access the partitions with the QFIL partition manager. I suspect the phone expects a different programmer than prog_emmc_firehose_8937_ddr.
I can enter EDL mode easily now with the patched fastboot exe. The correct driver is active and QFIL detects the phone. However, as soon as I follow the instructions by setting the programmer, and then try to start the partition manager, the phone stops responding.
After a while, I get a "sahara" error about no reply from the phone.
I wonder if someone has a stock boot.img of the Nokia 3.2 (build 00EEA) lying around ...
Here is someone else's photo of the mainboard (I just realized that it's actually from hikari_calyx!) but on mine, the right one of the test points you marked in your 3.2 variant does not exist, so I edited it out in the photo:

My guess was right. Now I'm able to reply to myself with a solution.
I tried a different prog_emmc_firehose_8937_ddr than the one provided by @hikari_calyx in the unlock thread
There is a programmer with the same name in this firmware:
sprout-015B-0-00WW-B01 .rar
It's provided by @bouyhy01 in his rooting thread.
The size of the programmer file is slightly different:
Code:
hikari_calyx: 428,936 bytes
Firmware: 428,944 bytes
Long story short: the different programmer worked in QFIL, so the partition manager worked as well, I got my own boot image, patched, flashed and had root - finally ... Thanks for all the research work, hikari_calyx and bouyhy01 !
Attached is the working programmer file, in case anyone else stumbles upon the same problem. By the way, my phone has the October security patch installed which is currently the latest available.

I guess the only point can be connected to the ground, for example, the RF shield is grounded.

Thanks for info. Mine Nokia 3.2 is a prototype unit, so I don't know the situation of other versions of Nokia 3.2.
Hello, I have tried this manual for rooting Nokia 4.2 with last security update of 5th of November. After 5 step (flashing patched boot image) my phone try to reboot and then asked for factory reset (Can't load android system - Your data may be corrupt).

How To Guide Successful conversion of N200 5G from T-Mo to OEM without MSM tool! (Credit to Summersofar)

Hey there. i'm a new XDA Member myself. i've been mostly stalking these forums for the N200 Ever since people started the root phase and twrp projects for codename HOLI. but i'm here to convert @summersofar's guide in order to make it more comfortable for windows users... (Credit to the people who helped make this happen. i take no credit as i am only posting this guide for windows users.)
Now lets get on with the process.
Requirements: Your Bootloader MUST Be unlocked. not just oem Unlocking enabled. NO. that only sets a flag in the bootloader telling the chip that the board can be unlocked. 2nd, you must have sim unlocked your phone in order for the oem unlocking option to appear, Be it t-mobile customer support via 611. or try twitter. there have been cases where users have gotten a free sim unlock from tmobile if you're a veteran customer (Veteran implies you've been with them for a couple of years now and they trust you. this isn't always guaranteed but its worth a shot honestly.) Twitter support will do. (Then unlock the bootloader permanently from oneplus's unlock token website and apply the unlock. they'll get back to you in7 business days.)
Now onto the actual process...
Make sure you first extract your stock image, You can do this by using a well known program called Payload Dumper Go. Note: you no longer need to do any sort of Mumbo jumbo in order to actually extract your stock img. You can download the stock image directly from Oneplus's support website located Here.
Step 1> Enable USB Debugging in the developer options and connect your phone. wait a couple of seconds and authorize the fingerprint on your devices screen. We can move onto step 2.
2>
Code:
/Next reboot into fastboot by typing the command below.\
fastboot reboot fastboot
3> Copy and paste these commands in cmd. (MAKE SURE YOUR COMMAND PROMPT DIRECTORY IS SET IN THE LOCATION WHERE YOUR EXTRACTED PAYLOAD FILES ARE!, or else you'll get an error saying the file cannot be found or executed.
Code:
fastboot delete-logical-partition system_a-cow
fastboot delete-logical-partition odm_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition system_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition system_ext_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition vendor_a
fastboot create-logical-partition odm_a 0x37ED000
fastboot create-logical-partition system_a 0x6342E000
fastboot create-logical-partition system_ext_a 0x55225000
fastboot create-logical-partition product_a 0x6BD93000
fastboot create-logical-partition vendor_a 0x3ED70000
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
Then reboot into fastboot once all those commands Above are executed..
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
Next we'll actually tell the bootloader to CREATE And delete the partitions. in order to finalize the process.
Code:
fastboot flash --slot=all boot boot.img
fastboot flash --slot=all dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash --slot=all abl abl.img
fastboot flash --slot=all bluetooth bluetooth.img
fastboot flash --slot=all devcfg devcfg.img
fastboot flash --slot=all dsp dsp.img
fastboot flash --slot=all featenabler featenabler.img
fastboot flash --slot=all hyp hyp.img
fastboot flash --slot=all imagefv imagefv.img
fastboot flash --slot=all keymaster keymaster.img
fastboot flash --slot=all logo logo.img
fastboot flash --slot=all modem modem.img
fastboot flash --slot=all qupfw qupfw.img
fastboot flash --slot=all tz tz.img
fastboot flash --slot=all uefisecapp uefisecapp.img
fastboot flash --slot=all xbl_config xbl_config.img
fastboot flash --slot=all xbl xbl.img
fastboot flash --slot=all core_nhlos core_nhlos.img
fastboot flash --slot=all oplusstanvbk oplusstanvbk.img
fastboot flash --slot=all rpm rpm.img
fastboot flash --slot=all vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
fastboot flash odm odm.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash system_ext system_ext.img
fastboot flash product product.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash --slot=all vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash --slot=all vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
Once thats been done. just go ahead and execute the commands below to boot to the RECOVERY this time.
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
Once done. Wipe your user cache and settings. you have to press two buttons to execute this. Enjoy a fully (Clean?) stock rom.
The issues and problems post installation can be found in @summersofar's guide Here.

If you have discord. I can help you setup an environment variable so you can run fastboot commands from anywhere on your system.
But as for this error. Make sure the extracted payload files are in the same directory as fastboot execution files and all the other stuff.

Is your bootloader fully unlocked from the bin file OnePlus support gave you?
Looks like one of them didn't unlock. I tried running fastboot oem unlock_critical but it didn't work, got an error saying the device was already unlocked.
Having same problem, if you guys figure out what's the issue please let me know.
what he is implying is. make sure you reboot to fastbootd. you can tell your in this mode when you actually have an advanced and exit option. this implies your in the actual bootloader
i see... yeah that fixed the issue. I was rebooting into fastbootd but i was selecting the reboot to fastboot option from there. thanks for the help!

However, I did notice couple of things and would like to check with rest of you if you have same issues:
- settings -> system -> about phone: 2nd tab just says "verification" and it's missing "Regulatory labels"
- settings -> system -> about phone -> OxygenOS version: says "unknown"
- settings -> buttons & gestures --> alert slider: it just crashes (idk why this option is on when this phone does not have alert slider?)
That's what I noticed so far.
Thanks!

Yes, I accidentally bricked my bootloader locked MetroPCS model DE2118 (by going into developer options and attempting to load a GSI through dynamic system updates, which fails on a locked bootloader because GSIs aren't signed by oneplus) and I saved it by using the MSMtool for the standard T-mobile edition. Strangely, all the metro stuff is still there including the metroPCS boot animation. Now I'm just waiting on my unlock token so I can bootloader unlock and convert it to the oneplus unlocked firmware, install TWRP, and properly load GSIs.

Yes, the ROM detects whether a T-Mobile or Metro SIM card is inserted on first boot to determine what carrier apps to load.
Guide worked great on my T-Mobile N200. Phone feels slightly faster on the OEM ROM. Doing the OTA updates hopefully I'll get the boot.img soon so I can make a patch Magisk image for everyone for the current OEM ROM.
Current build is 11.0.4.0.DE17AA
Edit: And here they are.... this is for the OEM ROM 11.0.4.0.DE17AA working great on my end!

Question Finding Full Software Update For Flashing

Trying To Find A Full Software Download To Correctly Flash OnePlus Nord N20 5G (MetroPcs/TMobile)
Before starting this process, my phone had just updated to 11_A07. I got my bootloader code from OnePlus, Even though my phone won't be unlocked for another month or 2. Anyways, I used the code, unlocked the bootloader, and decided I'd try to root it, figured it wouldn't be that complicated.
Starting off, I Flashed an A06 Boot.img to it, as well as The "JulyModemsBackup.zip" acquired from someone else on here, and I ran into the same problem as others on here, I lost all Radios (Service, Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC), even lost Flashlight and other key things. After trying and trying I ended up running into a screen saying something like "the Boot/Recovery image have been destroyed, please repair" so after that speed bump, I found I had to flash another boot.img, and use the fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img trick, it worked, and after trying to fix the radios, I ran into another speed bump of the phone going straight into fastboot and would never actually boot, so I had to keep trying more and more combinations of files and fastboot commands, until ultimately, I got passed that, and back to having no radio.
Now somewhere, I went in a better direction, because this last time I booted it, I had successfully gained back: Wifi, NFC, Flashlight, Bluetooth, and everything else EXCEPT Actual Cell Service. I was even able to use Magisk to patch the boot.img and root my device. So all I need now Is my Cell Service. I will try to find the exact combination of files I used to get this far, so others may be able to gain a little of the phone back as well, I know that it says my phone is on version A06, so it successfully downgraded, at least it thinks so.
But Im hoping someone has the solution, or may find out how to completely fix the cell service issue. It would be perfect to have a COMPLETE Software File with everything needed, rather than multiple files with just few in each, all of which may be for different versions.
So If anyone has a complete file, please post it, or if you have all the files and can make a complete file to share, that would be just as great. I will look and post all the files I've used to get this far as well
This is just showing What Version my phone landed on after all the flashing and everything.

Maybe, but since it's incomplete, there will always be bugs or missing features.
Solved.
If you want to use fastbootd mode to flash GSI in this phone, You have to flash a third-party recovery first (such as TWRP).
now if you run
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
You will go to TWRP's fastbootd mode. It works well. The xiaomi official fastbootd mode have something wrong. Please use a third-party recovery
Original problem:
=============================
I used k50Ultra China version. I have unlocked . In bootloader mode (the screen shows FASTBOOT) I can flash boot.img I can set active slot. I have all permission. BUT in fastbootd mode(the screen shows FASTBOOTD), I do not have permission to flash any image or set active slot.
(super.img=system.img+vendor.img+product.img)
After a new super partition was used on Android. We can not flash system.img in bootloadr mode because it can only flash the whole super.img. Fortunately, we can still flash system.img in fastbootd mode. BUT it looks like Xiaomi didn't give users enough permissions in fastbootd mode.
Fastbootd is the only way to simply flash system.img. bootloader and TWRP can flash super.img can not flash system.img.
So I flash GSI faild.

Hello!
My method. (This works for me so far, but an expert will tell you what is right!)
Starting point: EEA V13.0.13.0
What did I install from GSI? ProjectElixir_3.5
How?
Enable USB debugging on an active system
PC connection
start adb, there are the following commands:
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot devices
- fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp.img
- fastboot getvar all
- fastboot set_active a
- fastboot reboot fastboot
- fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
- fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
- fastboot erase system
- fastboot flash system GSI_rom_name.img
- fastboot -w
- fastboot flash boot boot.img
- fastboot reboot recovery
- TWRP -> Wipe -> Format Data -> Yes -> Reboot System
*twrp.img, boot.img, vendor_boot.img, vbmeta.img, GSI_rom_name.img files to the adb folder.
(boot.img, vendor_boot.img, vbmeta.img -> V13.0.13.0 EEA fastboot rom.zip)
I do not use!
I just tried it!
Waiting for AOSP and Kernel!
