Firmware rollback

note

ANTI_ROLLBACK protection is activated in our device, so this is not possible at the moment!

What is ANTI_ROLLBACK?

ANTI_ROLLBACK is a mechanism used in devices to prevent the installation of older firmware versions that may be vulnerable or insecure. It checks the firmware version before installing it.

Is there a workaround?

  • The manufacturer can provide a special image to rollback the firmware (Which goodness corporation Motorola will definitely not do)
  • Use TWRP to fully format partitions and install ROM through it (Requires unlocking bootloader, which we don't have)
  • Say thank you to Motorola
