  1. This tutorial worked great for me thanks. Though I am facing one problem on my motot x play (XT1563) dual sim. My sim card reader is not working and is saying there is no sim card. If you know any reason why this would happen please let me know! Should I have maybe used a different stock ROM?

      • I found the problem to be that I was using a stock ROM for a non dual sim model of the Moto X Play, once downloading the dual sim version and following this guide everything went back to normal. Thank you for the very detailed and specific guide!

  2. my phone is no longer booting. usb debugging is not enabled and im unable to access phone. also and i am not rooted. so my problem is i cant downgrade to original firmware. when i follow the steps it is successful on some (i.e version downgraded for boot…) but i get error message for system (invalid signed system image).
    so my phone is not reverting back to a previous firmware. it reboots and briefly sows the guy and says erasing and then reboots and starts same process. i also get unable to mount internal and external memory errors.
