Hello guys, given the unlocked bootloader nature of our moto maxx's and moto turbos
and that some of us like to try and test firmware from different countries, i present you:
How to Flash Different Official Firmware on Moto Maxx/Turbo
Lets say you have the mexico, puerto rico or brasil firmware and want to try India Firmware
you have to get this on your PC:
Requisites:
RSD LITE only Works if you are going back to your Original 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
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:
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
if you want to keep your custom recovery like TWRP of CyanogenRecovery
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 Moto Maxx/Turbo and i want to flash Verizon (or another Firmware) will it work???
Flashing different quark phones firmware will work and boot, however getting signal its another history, all moto maxx are unlocked and there is no problem with them but if you flash droid turbo firmware on moto maxx you likely wont get any signal, see my thread for [Guide] Droid Turbo & Moto Maxx Carrier and Bootloader Compatibility
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 kitkat, installed brasil or another firmware and take a OTA 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 India/Mexico/Brasil Firmware it says the name of my original Firmware???? did it failed??
Motorola Somehow stores in a 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 kitkat if i flashed the Mexico or Brasil Lollipop OTA???
Yes you can flash back to kitkat without risk of brick if you flashed the mexican or brasil OTA using the method of this thread.
Where i can get my official firmware???
you can get it in another thread i have: [All Quark][Official] Stock Firmware Moto Maxx Droid Turbo Moto Turbo
Im in mexico or brasil Lollipop how can i get root?
Just boot or flash TWRP and flash Super SU for android 5.0 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!
