[ADVICE][TIP][GUIDE] How to avoid HardBrick - Moto X General

moto x/hardbrick = The phone is dead, not response to power button, button combinations, pc conection, conecting to charger.....nothing !!!
Normally the moto x is not easy to brick. But.... many users want to downgrade to 4.2.2 from 4.4 (like me 1 week ago ) for many reasons, maybe best compatibility, best battery life, best signal, no at&t bloatware etc etc.
Ok here we go..... this is the 'scenario', the user with 4.4 gets 4.2.2 and he is happy now, now he says "wow I'm a moto x/rsd lite/flasher expert :highfive: , now he receive an OTA notification (normally camera update) the user accept the OTA, the phone restart and....... pum hardbrick.
Then..... the user reads all forums over internet and he realizes that somehow he deleted the xml line:
<step operation="flash" partition="partition" filename="gpt.bin" />
(normally the user delete this line bcuz rsd lite stop at "2/17 failed partition gpt.bin" or something related to that)
Dont delete this line !!!!! perhaps there's a better way to do a downgrade without risks.
Yea yea.... my english not is perfect, but I dont like to use google translator

Currently I have this problem. My phone does not turn on nor charge.
What would be a possible solution?
thanks

What are the bands used for GSM by your carrier?
The phone is factory SIM unlocked, meaning that it will accept any SIM, but if the bands for your carrier are the same as US GSM, you need to use the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542 to open up those bands...
Also, if you haven't already, you'll want to edit your build.prop for GSM use. I'm probably gonna write up a guide on how to do it here eventually so I have an easy link to point to.
Also, FWIW, you won't really get an improvement on stock if you're having connection problems. If anything, stock will lock you down more because Verizon is annoying...

The GSM band used by my Carrier (Virgin Mobile Chile) is GSM 1900, also i've never edited build.prop since the last time i did for illusion ROM and it didnt work, giving me a softbrick.
The problem i'm having right now is the DialPad, it wont work at all in calls, in any Custom ROM i've installed so far... i dont know what am i doing wrong? since i dont see that bug very often over here

wait... what do you mean by dialpad?
Do you mean the dialpad that you can access in-call? Like to "press 1 to continue"?
There should be a button on the bottom-right to access that... just tap it and it will appear

haha yeah i know that, the thing is i can tap them all and nothing will happen, for example: press 1 to access your account ... then i press 1, and nothing... i can actually spam numbers and nothing, its like pressing nothing at all even when i cant literally have my screen full of numbers actually dialed.

If so use keys to get to bootloader & select recovery.

ridiculously big BATTERY DRAIN GT-I9500 S4

Hi guys,
I'm about to lose right now concerning this issue. I've had my International Version Galaxy S4 since mid July and it was all candy and heaven, until devil 4.3.3 version came up. I upgraded my phone via OTA. From that moment i have had the most obnoxious and stupid battery drain ever. my phone wont go to sleep mode and discharges over 50% in 8 hours overnight.
I called TechSup bur obviously they didnt do **** to help me, so i installed Gsam a few days ago and this is what happened (check the attachments)
Well. Without further ado, I present to you my stupid phone.:crying:
Great day everyone!
Ur phone suffers from wakelock issues which keeps your phone awake. Only way to combat this is flashing a different ROM (different KERNEL) onto your phone.

You get better info with three battery setting screenshots (little graph with main consumption processes, big graph tapping over little graph with partial wakelocks and other states, and screen total time on), please, post them.
Usually your problem can be fixed by over flashing same rom with Odin 3.09 (no data losing)

I had this drain in my old S2 when I upgraded from 4.0 to 4.1.. So to get rid of it, simply format your data (you can backup the apps u want via helium or any backup app)

Hi, I didnt post them because they didnt showed anything important. Android OS consumed 89% of the battery follow by gpsd with 9%. Screen is not even listed since i left it overnight with 100% battery charge. But i will post mentioned screenshot in a while after 8 hours of no using the phone.

Since you made full wipe then you must try another rom and kernel (yes you will void warranty if you have knox) ...

Your problem seems similar to mine but in a bigger scale, you find more info at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557164
Right now the suggestion I have was given by the user maanz "L"
U might want to go to Google play store and select "do not auto updates".
Another thing to check is; got to Settings/MyDevice/Accessibility and unchecked Notification Reminder.
Next is; go to Google Settings app, open Android Device Manager and uncheck "Remotely report this device".
Reboot after making these changes and check BBS app after 4 hours.
Hope that these could bring down the high Android OS and phone awake.

Galaxy Y no service no calls nothing

Some months ago, gf's galaxy y random rebooted and get stuck in a bootloop, she was just using the phone normally, it don't have root or something. she managed to get in stock recovery and wiped data. When the phone booted it lost all signal, no making phone calls, when she tries to call the phone says something like "Not registered in network", status bar says no service, I tried my own sim and also can't make or receive calls.
Imei is fine, when type *#06#* displays the correct value. Phone was factory unlocked, model is gt5360L.
I've been reading tutorials here, and other forums, but nothing has worked, the phone is now on cm 11.
Please, give me some help, if anyone needs more info or something, ask me, people here always talk about flashing respective modem, bit how to know which files should I download?

Wifi issue with Nougat in JYS3A

I have successfully installed Nougat in my Jiayu S3A Jiayu S3 Adv/Basic/Pro (mt6752 - Android 7.1.1 Build 20161212 - Stable 5)
Everything seemed to work fine, but when I connected with Wifi, connection lasted for a few seconds and then interrupted. I happened several times (everytime I connected) ... so I went back to previous version...
Any solutions?

You are looking the wrong way. The way is flash RC4 with sptf and than change recovery to the one recommend by MAD. Than you may flash 7 to last RC.
Read well. It's all in there. Don't read just the last line. Study the thread.
Enviado do meu SM-J500FN através de Tapatalk
you somehow right but you have to work a little bit by yourself. Some ppl reflashed with SP Flash Tools the rom RC4 and problems solved after re-installing afterwards android 7.1.1 from MAD through the correct Recovery.
But other ppl claim that they just installed another modem version from the modem's thread (it is a zip file installed with TWRP).
You are the only one who can test in your device your solution.
Be brave and best luck!
using TapaTalk with my JiaYu S3 , 7.1.1
Hello, thank you for your answer.
I did a backup wipe to factory reset, and I did install the last 7.1 recommended by MAD. I don't know about all those modems, what should I choose or why. And I'm not sure it is a modem related issue. Wifi does connect, but loses connection in a few seconds... I'll think about it but I probably keep the phone as it is. I don't have the expertise to correct this issue.
Thank you again.

Thanks a lot for your answer. The point is that I'm no expert at all and don't have so much time. I went back to 4.4.4, which has not worked bad for the last months, and I don't really know what I'm going to do... Stay Idle for the moment, probably.
Cheers!
Since you can't post on ROM thread
Due to constant flash's, or errors on flashing its possible that somehow your nvram got corrupted
The best thing to do to make sure everything is done properly is re-flashing the whole SPFT lollipop build ( choose one... Either any of the Chinese stock or the ones made by M.A.D. ,latest is the RC5)
Then updated your recovery (its on Nougat ROM FA.Q.)
And flash Nougat builds

Only the message for only cosmetic purposes? You need a modified boot animation. So far is not available for the G5. Only for the G5+.
But the device still will be out of warranty.
The warranty is lost in the very momento that your ask for the unlock code in the Moto website, even if you don't make use of it to unlock your device.

I just wanted to pass on my gratitude and thanks for your advice , It is easy if you are patient and absorb all info given .

i got rooted my g5 but due to some reason i had to give service center and they replaced the twrp recovery to their stock
so i want twrp (phone is still unlocked but when i tried normal method it doer not detect my phone) back can you guide me
Hey guys in my case, I bricked my phone and it was not able to boot. Because I flashed the poly os Oreo zip file from sorceforge.net which is under development. But when I went to the service center, I told them that my phone was not booting, they didn't ask me anything and said we will check and let you know. After one hour they told me your handset is dead. They replaced the motherboard free of cost. I don't know how this is possible, because I unlocked the bootloader' and flashed the twrp.

They probably couldn't even identify the reason you had the phone not booting. I also think it's improbable here in my country they will check if your phone was unlocked or not unless your phone is booting for them to see. In other words if the phone doesn't boot at all and if it doesn't show any sign when connected to USB or whatever methods they have to see if your phone is booting, they will replace it.
I'm pretty sure however, that motorola keeps records of the phones which required the unlock code, and I doubt very much that in the United States they would not check it.
