[X Force] How to Manually Flash Official Firmware

THIS IS NOT FOR DROID TURBO 2 I REPEAT DONT DO THIS FOR DROID TURBO 2
How to Manually Official Firmware on any Motorola Device
Requisites:
Unlocked Bootloader if you want to flash firmware from another country or locked bootloader to flash the official firmware from the country/carrier of your device
Android Studio or Minimal ADB and Fasboot (i personally recommend Minimal Adb and Fastboot because thats all we gonna need and its lighter than Android Studio 2 Mb vs 800Mb)
Official Firmware you want to flash
mFastboot (motorola Fastboot) i uploaded it for you: https://mega.nz/#!pI9iVZwS!CZTh_-wCl-qyta4Q0yZuPk_TB6Wq7Z4zElk6eArXrXk
RSD LITE is the fastest way if you want to install the official firmware of your phone, download latest RSD lite, download the firmware of your phone carrier/country, open rsd select the .zip and start flash, your phone will reboot when done, thats all, RSD lite doesnt work if you want to flash firmware from another country, just your phone default carrier/country firmware
Installation:
1.- Install MAaF
Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot
2.- Install mFastboot
Copy the contents of mfastboot.zip and put them on Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Now you have working Fastboot AND mFastboot
3.- Copy Firmware
Copy the contents of your desired firmware to Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder like this:
Now you are ready to flash!
First turn off your device and Put it on fastboot mode (Power and volume down for 2 seconds with your phone off)
4.- Get Detected
type
Code:
fastboot devices
on minimal adb to see if your pc detects your phone on fastboot mode
if you get some numbers and letters like the picture you are ready to go.
if not, you are missing drivers, looks for Motorola Device Manager
5.- Install
Copy and Paste these commands on Minimal ADB and Fastboot:
If you are upgrading to Marshmallow use this:
Code:
mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.10
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.11
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot erase customize
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
mfastboot reboot
If you are installing a different firmware use this:
mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.10
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.11
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
mfastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
check the amount of system.img_sparsechunk. your firmware has, if it has 10,12 or 15 add the extra lines required.
And thats all, as easy as copy from here and paste on cmd.
when your phone finishes flashing just press enter to execute mfastboot reboot and you will boot the new firmware.
Tip:
you can remove/skip the line
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
if you want to keep your custom recovery like TWRP
remember:
Flashing another firmware will erase all your information
i know that you can flash without erasing anything but that causes many many errors and inestability i've seen it a lot of times so i encourage to erase everything every time you flash a different firmware, better start fresh.
FAQ
i have a X Force and i want to flash Verizon (or another Firmware) will it work???
Flashing different Kinzie phones firmware will work and boot, however getting signal its another history, all x force are unlocked and there is no problem with them but if you flash droid turbo 2 firmware on moto x force you likely wont get any signal and have wifi issues.
Why i can't just flash it using RSD LITE?
Because somehow it detects the firmware you are on, so you can only flash your original firmware
Why did you not include gpt.bin in the flashing???
Because if you were on marshmallow, installed brasil or another firmware back to lollipop your gpt.bin version will be greater than the one you'll try to flash and it will FAIL TO FLASH, dont worry just skip that line.
Why If i flashed UK/Mexico/Brasil Firmware it says the name of my original Firmware???? did it failed??
Motorola Somehow stores in a separate partition your original firmware name, even if you flash another from another country it will say the name of the original firmware you had, dont worry it doesnt affect anything.
Can i go back to lollipop if i flashed the Mexico or Brasil stock marshmallow???
Yes you can flash back to lollipop without risk of brick if you flashed the mexican or LAT firmware using the method of this thread.
Where i can get my official firmware???
you can get it in another thread i have: [All Kinzie][Official] Stock Firmware Moto X Force / Droid Turbo 2
Im in mexico or brasil Lollipop or marshmallow how can i get root?
Just boot or flash TWRP and flash Super SU for android 5.1 or 6.0.1 by chainfire.
Protip: (my view on flashing soak test on locked devices)
DONT YOU EVER EVER EVER FLASH A SOAK TEST IF YOU HAVE LOCKED BOOTLOADER OR DONT WANT TO UNLOCK, GPT.BIN AND SOME OTHER BOOTLOADER FILES WILL BE UPDATED AND WILL FAIL IF YOU TRY TO FLASH BACK TO OLDER VERSIONS YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE FIRMWARE TO GET OFFICIALLY RELEASED AS A FULL (NOT OTA) AND EVEN THAT ITS NOT A GUARANTEE THAT YOU'LL HAVE YOUR PHONE BACK WORKING, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE, UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER ITS BEST TO TRY FIRMWARE.
this is a Q&A thread, so if you have any questions just post them here!

it was motoboot because im actually mfastboot not regular fastboot but i'll change it anyway, should be the same.
if there's no radio and you put the command it just continues, theres no danger on keeping it there.

I am just following the guide, unlock oem -> mfastboot -> reboot -> wifi issue (in marshmallow)

With all my respect to OP, but considering people having issues with WiFi after manual flash, it makes me think, that the key for successful upgrade is in the list of commands. When I did it on my device ,I flashed every single command from flashfile.xml , starting from line
<step var="max-sparse-size" operation="getvar"/>

What do you mean by "Unlocked Verizon device"?
Anyway, don't even try to flash any Force firmware. Turbo 2 and Force are very similar but not exactly the same. Radio/modem is different, Turbo 2 has locked and unlockable bootloader, some additional apps for Verizon, etc.
If someone find exploit to unlock Turbo 2 bootloader then you may get custom rom or modified Force rom for Turbo 2.

Dude, read again or search and educate yourself. Turbo 2 is sim free, sim unlocked or whatever you wish to call it but has LOCKED bootloader. That's not the same thing. I was using Turbo 2 with non Verizon sim in US on At&T.
Compare your and mine sig. xt1585 vs xt1580, Turbo 2 vs Moto X Force.
Btw, why you didn't order Force instead? Much better device for any non Verizon network.
P. S.
If you insist to flash Force firmware on Turbo 2, good luck but don't cry after

The fact that you bought Turbo 2 from Moto web site without a sim card from Verizon doesn't mean that the device has unlockable bootloader. The majority of Verizon devices are compatible with GSM carriers (so-called world phones) and can be used on their networks , but their bootloader remains locked, unless your device is XForce, which is GSM only and has unlockable bootloader.

Question is if I should exclude the gpt.
Also: Is this compatible with reteu, or for what variant is it? I have XT1635-02 reteu.

Just a headsup, updating only the GPT, bootloader and parts of the firmware is risky - unless you're already on the same patch level of the firmware. This is likely because only a partial flash may result in a mismatch between your system and your bootloader in terms of patch level. I don't recall the GPT causing hard bricks, it's more the bootloader that's a big cause of bricks because of having the aforementioned mismatch.
Thus, if you accept OTA updates, the OTA update will attempt to patch your device thinking that your system and bootloader are on the same patch level. As you've only done a partial update, the OTA will either fail or successfully patch, only to corrupt your mismatched bootloader, leading to a hard brick. We've seen this behaviour with downgrading a device's system (but not bootloader), so it'd be a similar state to your device if you updated like this and then accepted an OTA, and this bricking behaviour has been observed on partially updated Moto G4/Plus, Z Play and X devices, to name a few. Of course, you may receive an OTA update that may bring you to the same patch level as your updated bootloader/GPT, which may work, but it's a gamble.
Thus, if you're gonna update, fully update to the same patch level (that includes modem as well), do not mix and match parts of different builds (or if you do, remember not to update via OTA).
As for whether this build is suitable for EU devices, hopefully those who uploaded the stock ROM can comment.

I'm running LineageOS and am only looking for a way to update my bootloader and modem firmware.
What confuses me about this: It says NPNS, instead of just NPN or MPN. What's the meaning of those abbreviations?
The listed baseband version ends in an R. The one of other people ends with an e. It this just a typo?

BtbN said:

Hmm, I don't know if it'll work - in theory, it could as Lineage OS only affects your system/data. Of course, you'd have to remember that if you were to revert back to stock, to reflash at least the same stock ROM as your bootloader patch level.
Still would be better to completely flash the same stock ROM onto your device (of course this would wipe Lineage and TWRP off your device). What do you hope to gain from updating your bootloader/GPT and modem compared to your existing firmware?
As far as I know:
MPN - Marshmallow firmware
NPN - Nougat firmware
NPNS - Nougat firmware with added security patch updates
Usually your baseband, from what I've seen, ends in R (e.g. for Moto G4, our latest basebands end in 62.01R). If it ends in e, it's either a typo or something has gone wrong with the underlying firmware, I've not noted working modem firmware working if ending in anything other than R.

My current baseband ends in an e, according to the Phone Status page in my settings. See attached image.
Just want to be up to date with what LaOS expects. As it declares 7.1.1 to be the target, and my device has not gotten any firmware updates since the first 7.0 firmware which it updated to when I got it.
On another note, putting the filename into google ends up with this link: https://rsdsecure-cloud.motorola.co...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Looks pretty official to me. The sha1sum of that file is e94b9690de5417b4499d8995726ccaf5d0492d5e

Hi, hyoga68. I´ve updated my Moto Z Play using RSD, but you can do by prompt. I think you´ll be in trouble if you downgrade ROM, but in this case we´ll be updating, with the newest ROM avaible.

During flash steps, i didn't flash adspso.bin, non-hlos.bin, modem.bin and fsg.mbn.
My phone is working with IMEI fine.

Thank you, but after several days i have posted here my solution: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/how-to/fastboot-rom-oreo-retail-via-fastboot-t3786153/page1

Hi, Do u have a link?

Also if you're just concerned with the launcher (it's terrible!) you can just install another launcher from the play store.

I am not an expert in this area, but just wanted to share a method that worked for me to convert ROM of XT1710-08 China variant phone (with Android 7.1.1 ZUI interface) to Oreo 8.0.0 US retail version
Basically I followed the instructions from below thread with some changes.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/how-to/how-to-manually-update-moto-z2p-to-t3677357
I had already unlocked bootloader and not sure if that was really needed for this. (Make sure you have USB drivers and latest adb/fastboot utilities and verify fastboot is working with the phone)
1. Using fastboot, flashed the 8.0.0 Chinese ROM from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/albus_retcn/official/RETCN/
Please note, system.img and oem.img may be split into multiple files, so update the .bat file accordingly.
2. next, flashed the US retail version from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/albus/official/RETAIL/
Here I skipped the modem related images (NON-HLOS.bin ,fsg.mbn , dsp adspso.bin , and did not erase modemst1 and modemst2) - see below commands from the bat file.

3. Reboot to recovery and do factory reset. This is important. For me the the phone went into a boot loop, until I did this reset.

if you ever played with your persist, its not fixing those persist who flashed other device persist to gain IMEI and VoLTE, safe for those who never played with their persist and for those who are having baseband with ending with capital R. Direct flashing via fastboot ending with no signals and also not imei if dont skip erase modemst1
erase modemst2.
Guide for those who are not on their own persist but with another persist able to use Signals with volte and using any custom or nougat or twrp rom
first take backup of your current working efs and persist on sd card or otg
Thn flash above rom via fastboot, dont skip anything, reboot system thn again go in fastboot menu
Flash twrp, thn in twrp only flash only FIRMWARE from SOAK Test 1 Aroma by @NZedPred ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903990826 ), Thanks @NZedPred for his great work, now restore your efs and persist, roboot system.
If you want to lock bootloader thn follow these commands in fastboot
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash oem oem.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.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot oem lock
All of these worked for me as I was also not on my own persist.
everything working fine CAMERA, VOLTE, WIFI, FINGERPRINT, locked bootloader and unlocked also again with my key tht provided by moto, battery also charging faster, battery backup is also good.

Hey, will this work for hard bricked users? I've been using twrp flashable nougat stock ROMs since last year! Can't get back to full stock so!

if you ever played with your persist, its not fixing those persist who flashed other device persist to gain IMEI and VoLTE, safe for those who never played with there persist and for those who are having baseband with ending with capital R.
For those who played with their persist, there are IMEI but no network after restoring EFS and Persist backup with TWRP, so be careful.

Bro you need to avoid this to flash, right now there is not any solution for those who are not on their persist, you will end up with no signals. So wait, I am still working on it.

After upgrading to oreo, download the Oreo flashable zip (Aroma) of SOAK1 and install only the firmware. And restore your efs after this step.
My phone is working perfectly with this, no network issues.

There are also many hidden issues after this method, wifi is getting slow while Bluetooth is active, if Bluetooth inactive thn also there are frequent wifi disconnection. Fingerprint also getting so slow while screen is off, I already tested it.

These commands are not responsible for hard bricks, may be there are another reason for hard bricks.

Asking again...
Will this work for hard bricked users? I've been using twrp flashable nougat stock ROMs since last year! Can't get back to full stock so!

First post your fastboot getvar here, then tell me what is the condition of your persist, imei, volte etc. Also from fatboot menu take a pic and post them also, and describe how you recovered your hard bricked device, then we can explain you. Thanks.

but I got the OTA update on my phone to download and I did that but I am the little bit afraid to install it just because of VOLTE and IMEI

Baseband M8998TMO_20207.117.02.41.04R NUS, firmware?

Hi everyone,
Recently I bought a phone from a UK seller, new, but can't figure out which is the firmware:
Baseband: M8998TMO_20207.117.02.41.04R NUS
Software variant: retru
Software channel: tmo
Build number: OPXS27.109-24-17
These were the original settings, after I flash the last version from retru I can't get signal from the SIM card although it detects and I have IMEI and everything.
Even if I flash the same build number from retru I get a different baseband, I have WiFi and bluetooth working fine.

What is the model number by the usb c port? It has T-Mobile baseband and software channel, so the model should be XT1789-04 if it is actually a TMO variant.

UK model is a xt1789-05 you can flash and firmware on it there's just a few files you have to swap when flashing the flashall.bat mines Vodafone but running the EU version and have tried some other countries

I tried retru and retail none gives me the right baseband to have the SIM card working, no matter the version I flash even with complete wipe using TWRP I still have on the variant saying TMO which is strange I think.

Hi!
I flashed the latest TMO firmware although I created a hybrid rom with the files for the network from TMO and the remaining from RETEU.

I'm sorry unfortunately I don't know much about ROMs and firmware I just recently learned how to flash .. from a YouTube video..
Can you provide the link and method it would be very helpful...
