[STOCK] system and boot flashable images KGW42N

These are the boot and system images as dumped from my moto360. They can be useful for returning to stock if something goes wrong with your device. As far as I can tell, they're good, and I have tested them in my device, but I'm not responsible if they break your device or anything else. Use them at your own risk.
They can be flashed from fastboot.
- turn off the watch
- press and hold the power button until you feel the third vibration, display will show "Bootloader version..."
- connect the jig to your watch and secure it so it will not move accidentally.
- connect the USB cable to your computer. Displaty will show "Transfer mode: USB Connected..."
- Launch a terminal session in your computer and issue the commands:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot

Already done, I worked with @dproldan and gave him a set. Since I dont have the watch, I am leaving it up to him to publish them, or not

@dproldan do you have the MD5s for those files? Google Drive doesn't seem to show them and i just want to be sure the downloads are good before I go messing with stuff.

Hey Bro, can you pull the recovery.img from the device? I want to begin work on CWMT/TWRP, but I need the recovery.img. I'm getting the watch tomorrow, and I want to have a build of TWRP ready for it
EDIT: Appears I also need a recovery.fstab for this device.

Got a question for you. I know that according to the instructions in the Bootable rooted image thread, it says just to "fastboot boot boot.img" and that will root the device... why does that root the device/why wouldn't you flash it? If you just boot it, won't you loose it on reboot?
Also, I know that there was some hubbub about the fact that you can "fastboot boot" a kernel without an unlocked BL, does that mean that we can use the rooted boot.img without unlocking our BL?
Thanks a billion,

You have to use the mfastboot.exe to flash system.IMG to this device or you will end up in a recovery bootloop. Also try using my tool linked 2 post above.

Make sure the moto 360 has at least 80% battery before flashing.

Your tool got it up and running for me. thank you so much dude! much appreciated. as i love learning the why behind the how, how come it causes a bootloop unless you use that specific variant of fastboot? is mfastboot a motorola variant of fastboot that's needed with their boot.img's?
i've had nexus, htc, and lg devices before, so this is my first run with motorola.

Yes it is a Motorola fastboot file. The normal fastboot.exe is limited a certain size. The moto fastboot let's you flash bigger images its more or less a upgraded fastboot file.

Fast boot mode started, can't go to download mode

Hi Everyone
Sorry for my not so good English.
I have problem with my G3 and maybe someone can help? I instal root without problem, than I try to install Twrp recovery and after that I have that message ( [780] fast boot mode started) all the time, I try to do hard reset, click yes twice, but getting the same message, Is there any chance to unbrick that device when I can't go even to download mode?
Thank You very much for any suggestions

help!
help my G3 died the same thing happened!

same to me...

What model(s)? Youll need a pc, adb/fastboot, stock laf.img and boot.img for your device. Youll use adb commands to erase these img files and restore them with the new ones. Once you have adb running and recognizing your device with both files in same folder as adb you'll type adb erase laf [Enter] then adb flash laf laf.img [Enter] do the same steps for the boot.img. Next type adb reboot [Enter] you'll still be in fastboot but just pull the battery. Then replace battery and you should be able to enter download mode by inserting the usb and pressing vol +(i believe, it's been a while) and then kdz flash..

I can see a different screen for a split of a second but it's going back to Fastboot mode...

@SaharLevi
Here's the fix Quick and easy
need to have fastboot, I used ubuntu can install with sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
info on fastboot
[TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer
also need recovery.img, I used the lastest twrp
In terminal
fastboot boot recovery.img
this will boot your phone with the img on your computer.
in recovery restore or install a good boot or kernel.
your phone should be good to go after that.
I had my phone fixed in about 5 min, I really should not play around with boot partition.
Also should be able to flash boot if you have a good one,
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Bootloop without USB Debug

My ZE551ML was rooted and I decided to update it being unaware that I was supposed to unroot it before updating. Once I got to the recovery menu, I attempted to sideload the newest firmware but the device was not found despite being able to be found during the bootloop. I then performed a factory reset and now it is stuck on a bootloop and cannot be detected by adb at any point.

U can use fastboot to flash ur device
But be careful with it u can hard brick ur device if done the wrong way

But how do I fastboot to flash? Every tutorial I found told me to use adb sideload which I never found possible.
Edit:
I solved my problem by copying the firmware I downloaded into an external sd card under the name MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip and going to recovery mode.

download full firmware according to ur device from here https://mega.co.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw give Thanks @shakalaca for this
download (Z00A)2.19.40.18 if u want to unlock ur bootloader cause latest one cause problems with unlocking bootloader
when the device is off press power wait till it vibrates once then immediately press vol up button
u will boot into fastboot mode
there u can use fastboot commands
now form ur pc go to the path where u downloaded the firmware
press & hold shift & right click
select open command window here
now in command prompt give these commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
all done ur device will reboot
now u have a rooted device
remember if u want to update than first unroot it reboot than update

where do u get the system.img?
im also in a similar situation where im out of usb debug cause of factory reset

System.img is the entire firmware except for boot, droidboot and recovery... These can be flashed separately BUT make sure you use the right commands...
If you get to the usb symbol only displaying on your screen, you've stuffed up and it is a true brick...

I have the same problem than vinod.katakam!
I try to update my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser (ze601kl), to a recente version of Android, because i'm stuck on a older version of Lollipop.
My system had a SKU WW, so i downloaded the recent version WW (marshmallow) from Asus website, and treid to update, and that gives me an error. But i reboot the phone a it works fine. But still on my old android version.
Then i tried to just update to a more recent version of Lollipop, the process appears to start fine, but then it gives me an error. Now, i tried to reboot and i end up with a endless bootloop.
I tried everithing, update by adb (cant open the file), update by sdcard (E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (Status 1) E: fota_return_code 408), and fastboot boot.img, recovery.img, but on system.img says the file is to big.
I dont have de USB Debbugind activated. Is that a problem?
I dont have important data on the phone, i just want to make it work again.
Please help!!!!

Hello guys!
Well, i manage to understand my problem and solv it!
I bought my phone from Gearbest, and the problem begins there. Why? Because, regarless my phone is a CN device, it came somehow with a WW sku. You must know that a CN device have system partition smaller than the WW device.
So, when i tried to updated it with a more recent WW system there was no room for that, and the instalation stops with a error message.
After many "Trial and error", i understand what my problem is, and tried to install a CN system version by "fastboot flash" with a system.img with root that i find here: "https://mega.nz/#F!lodnzDhK!H5ChxausDTyko1qGlnF7dw"
To fastboot i used the fastboot tool that sukhwant717 told me to, in the post #15.
Well, that worked, so i now have a phone working. Them i go to Asus website and downloaded the latest CN firmware to my divece, copy it by USB to the internal memory of my device and upgrade it.
So, now i have a phone working with a factory system but with no google apps.
I found this website with google installer: "https://www.digitbin.com/google-installer-apk/" follow the intructions and finaly i have Google play in my phone!
Now everithing works fine!
I hope that my story could help someone with the same problem!

[SOLVED] Could not install TWRP

Hi,
I want to enable dualsim on my singlesim device and for that the TWRP has to be installed. After checking many threads, which less or more describe the same steps, I managed to unlock the bootloader and downloaded an "unofficial" twrp image for the Moto Z Play. But on the last step while trying to flash it I got the error "Image not signed or corrupt" and the image is not installed. Here is the output by flashing:
Code:

Is there a way to avoid this error ?

Use: "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" no quotes. I change the filename to just "twrp.img" less chance of typing something wrong.
and no the .exe you did.

I think it is flashed. After flashing the twrp via fastboot and u see that error then just ignore it, instead directly boot your phone in recovery mode using the volume buttons and look for the word "recovery" then press on power button then it booted there.

and no the .exe you did.

I've changed the filename to "twrp.img" and used the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
The output is exactly the same as before.

I think it is flashed. After flashing the twrp via fastboot and u see that error then just ignore it, instead directly boot your phone in recovery mode using the volume buttons and look for the word "recovery" then press on power button then it booted there.

unfortunatly not, after entering the recovery mode I see the message "no command" and I have to hold the power button and press volume up to enter into the Android Recovery menu.

I've tried with the following images:
twrp-3.1.1-0-addison.img
twrp-3.1.0-0-addison.img
twrp-3.0.2-0-addison.img
which were downloaded from the url: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=126925
The result is the same by all of them.
Just to be sure, the image should be copied within the "ADB/Fastboot" folder on my PC and not on the device storage/SD card, isn't it ?

Yes, I did unlock it with the unlock key received from motorola:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock UNLOCK_KEY
After that a message is displayed at each start:
your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted
ID: bad key
your device will boot in 5 seconds

After flashing twrp do not boot the phone otherwise the stock recovery will over write twrp,
After twrp is flashed while still in fastboot mode, use the volume buttons and select recovery on the menu.

This is not an error. If your bootloader is unlocked this message will display at every boot.

As Fandroid mentioned, it's not an error. My device also diplays it at startup.
I've added to this post a zip file that contains adb, fastboot and twrp version used to configure my device.

I wanted twrp just to create a backup and configure my device to support dualsim. Therefore and as mentioned in a previous post, TWRP is installed only momentarly and after a reboot it would be overwritten.
My OS is the Moto Android 7.0.
What is the issue that you have now ?

As I told earlier I am not able to install twrp due to which I am not able to install custom rom. I tried many times to install twrp, everytime it showed "image is not found" as you guys said I tried going recovery but again it shows you already unlocked boot loader, your device can't be trusted then says " your device will reboot in 5 seconds" this is what my issue is.

It makes no sense then to flash it. Why don't you just use
fastboot boot twrp.img
when you want to start it? Then no flash will be involved, and twrp will be just booted for this single usage. You can repeat this whenever you need it.

I can not do unbrick ZX551ML

I can not get into the fastboot anymore after a frustrated attempt to downgrade, I do not find zenfone zoom files (ZX551-ML) to use through the Asus Flash tool, I tried some things and to no avail, could anyone please help me?

Use the highest version you can get from https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/z008-z00a-z00d-z00x-raw-fw-collection-t3448966 and then OTA asus upgrade.

I had the same problem. The first time it didn't work but the second the serial number was corrected and all went well.
There is a manual way to upload the raw using fastboot. Just look inside the update.bat. You can even rubn it instead of using flashtool.

Update.bat(batch file) is a Collection of commands to run. You can just doubleclick it or copy and paste each line to a cdm.exe window.

Yes I did it. Now i have a complete bootloader, recovery stock but nothing to do, the zoom doesn,'t start , infinite boot .

I started again from xSFTK (success), after , Asus Fash Tool (success). In ADB:
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
fastboot fastboot flash droidboot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'splashscreen' (464 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.179s]
writing 'splashscreen'...
FAILED (remote: Can not mount the necessary partition)
finished. total time: 0.349s

After flashing with Asus Flash Tool, how many minutes i have to wait to boot the system? I think my zoom is broken.
