HELP - RSD Lite fails (MODEM)

Yesterday afternoon my phone decided to throw a fit. I was listening to a podcast via AUX, and all of the sudden my phone reboots. No big deal. However, the phone never booted. So I enter TWRP to restore a backup. Restoration completes fine, however my backup bootloops (uh oh).
LONGG story short, my phone will not boot. Fastboot tells me "Baseband: Not Available" which is...unpleasant. I have tried manually flashing firmware, no dice, bootloops. I finally decided to try RSD Lite, but when it gets to the modem (NON-HLOS.bin) the flash fails. For the record, I'm using the full firmware from the May Security Update, XT1575.
Im starting to become worried this is a real issue. Any help or experience with this type of issue is greatly appreciated!

Are you wiping data?

After originally bootlooping, i tried restoring a good nandroid. When that also bootlooped, i reentered TWRP and tried a fresh install of an CM nightly. That install began, but wouldn't progress nor fail. I eventually encountered an error regarding the data partition, so i rebooted TWRP again and formatted data, and again tried installing CM.
When that also failed, I began attempting to flash stock firmware via fastboot.

Can you manually push the firmware via fastboot?
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
Some people have noted doing the erase command before the flash commands helps, or make 2-3 attempts at flashing the NON-HLOS.bin file are required to get an OK.
Otherwise try flashing the full factory firmware, but expect gpt.bin to fail, that is normal, when you get to NON-HLOS.bin flash execute the command up to 3 times to try to get it to go.
If you continue to get failures, it is possible that your emmc chip is corrupt or defective. :/

Yes, multiple times. The modem would always flash on second attempt. Still wouldn't ever boot.

Dumb question... is it looping, or just sitting at the boot logo after the initial boot animation appears? First boot can take what seems like a really long time, over 20 minutes sometimes.

I was getting bootloops originally, since flashing firmware each time I try to boot it sits at the unlocked bootloader screen for a couple seconds, then the blue M for a couple seconds, then the screen turns off and immediately returns to the unlocked bootloader message.

So it is truly bootlooping... And you tried the full factory images?

Did you manually flash all 8 sparsechunks? According to the file contents and service.xml file, the appropriate way to flash this image is:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin <- May fail, if fails twice, just continue
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
EDIT: Also note that after flashing the factory images it is known to fail to boot if you do not do a factory reset with the stock recovery prior to flashing the images... fastboot flash the recovery image, do a factory default, then go through the full list above, step by step, and verify you get an OK after every step, if you don't repeat the step before continuing. I would suggest using the above method manually.

Those were the instructions i was following, but i did not know about this stock recovery issue.
You're saying flash stock recovery, enter recovery and perform a factory reset, and then fastboot flash the firmware package as instructed?

Just followed this step by step, the only thing that failed on first try was the modem, second attempt flashed okay. After sending the "fastboot reboot" command, I get the unlocked bootloader message for a few seconds, the stock blue Moto M for about 10 seconds, and then the screen remains on but blank (black). Its been sitting there for a few minutes and nothing is happening..
Edit: Fastboot is now showing "Not found" under baseband instead of "Not available", as it had been previously.

Give it at least 20-25 minutes without touching it... too early to make a call yet.

After a few more minutes it returned to the unlocked bootloader message and is now back to cycling back and forth between that screen and the blue M..

So I decided to try again from scratch, this time its actually staying on the boot screen (the blue M) and has been sitting just like that for almost 30 minutes? WTF. All I can think to do at this point (after letting it set there for another 30 minutes) is letting the phone charge for a few hours to guarantee low battery isnt an issue.
Regardless, I really appreciate your help!! At this point Im hoping I can send it to Motorola to see if they can successfully flash factory software.

I sent it to Motorola to have it "repaired". Basically they just reflashed stock software. I was not under warranty, but they fixed it for free so i didn't bother trying to fix it over and over.

Complicated problem, never came across in the whole lifetime of my android usage.

TLR: Phone boots up and says. Launcher has stopped working, contacts has stopped working and etc.
Ok so i bought Moto G4 XT1625, yesterday. Was very happy with the device. It came with Android 6.0.1, i updated it to nougat 7.0.
But in android 6.0 and 7.0 both i noticed the phone giving random apps freezes and randomly even restarting on 7.0. The problem was minimal so i rebooted the phone 2,3 times and made it working. Then i received another update "NPJS25.93-14-4" on that update the phone got successful but bootlooped when booting for the first time on that update. I thoughts its ok so rebooted to bootloader and booted the phone from bootloader. the phone booted. after that another update came "NPJS25.93-14- (5 or 8) i dont remember properly" in this update the update failed during the installation. Keep in mind that i did not touch anything before this update. The phone was totally stock with stock recovery and everything. On this update the phone failed the update and i got constant bootloop no matter if i factory reset or erase cache it kept bootlooping, now i unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp and flashed a custom stock rom it crash on the boot. Again the random app has stopped working error came continously making the phone unusable. Then i flashed the stock rom correct firmware and everything it bootlooped again, then i rebooted numerous times the phone booted fine. Installed apps. This time did not get any app has stopped working error. Then rebooted the phone to install the sim card phone bootlooped again. Im 99% sure this is a hardware issue. Can somebody enlighten me? Whats going on in here? Thanks. I never faced this kind of problem ever in my life, i have bought more than 100 devices.

@whizinc
The Story is really frustrating especially when you bought it new :laugh:
So let's try to get your device working!
since you unlocked the bootloader you should clean flash the stock rom with fastboot https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 and see what happens. Don't put sim cards in and disable wifi. Just flash, boot and play around to see if it works without reboot.

I used the OEMLock.bat script. So far the phone booted first time properly without any issue. Sim is working as well. Current its on setup wizard checking network. Lets hope its fixed permanently. I will play with the phone for 5,10 hours constantly and report back. Thanks alot man!

Good luck:good:

UPDATE
It did not get past the "Checking Network" thing and after pressing the power button screen went black but i could see nav bar and status bar only. The phone has faulty hardware. Im now sure. Going to get it back tomorrow from where i bought it. Lets hope i get a refund or replacement. I bought it from a local mobile mall.

posted in a new thread because the problem did not belong to the rom's thread, im sorry did i do something wrong? No. I did not flash the stock custom rom before all of this. I never wanted to flash a custom rom. The thing is the phone failed an OTA update which let me to come to this decision. The phone failed ".5" update and after that it bootlooped. So i thought flashing twrp and flash a custom rom with a clean install would fix it but even the custom rom the " xxx app stopped working error" came continously.
After that i followed echo92's guide and flashed the whole stock rom through fastboot. Still same issue. Random apps crashing.
I think this is hardware issue. Because every idea has been fail till now.
What do u say?
edit: note: when the phone failed ".npj25.93-14-5" update it was completely stock and i did not even touch anything, i dont know why it failed on the first place?

Yep, I've been tracking the topic over both topics, gonna reply here to keep the other ROM thread clean too As I understand it:
Bought the device, had random issues with apps crashing on MM and Nougat.
Flashed TWRP and accidentally took the OTA, soft bricking in the process.
Flashed J-X's NPJS25.93-14-8 modified stock ROM, still app errors.
Reverted back to stock, still app errors, to the point where the device isn't useable and is now bootlooping...
However, @whizinc it's odd that you're experiencing these errors across flashes of the stock ROM and even a modified stock ROM and the data's been wiped each time...
Can you just confirm that with the NPJS25.93-14-4 (March 2017 fastboot ROM) that the stock ROM was flashed with these instructions as well, given that something odd's happening with your device...
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize (optional: will erase any customizations if ordered through motomaker)
fastboot erase clogo (optional: will erase the custom boot logo if ordered through motomaker)
fastboot reboot
The difference is that these include re-flashing your GPT/bootloader (just in case) and also include the equivalent of a factory reset (so effectively a clean install of the stock, unmodified, ROM). I recall you've mentioned doing this, just want to ensure we have a clean slate to work with.
If you can, can you post the output of your flash commands, just want to see if the flash worked, hold fire on updating to NPJ25.93-14.5 for now (or if you want to try your luck, you can get the fastboot file from here - you need to flash it with the above instructions, as it's an upgrade: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298984458 )
Else, it may be a hardware failure - when you bought the device, was it new or sold as used? Do you have a warranty with the shop you bought the device from? If you can, can you boot into bootloader, attach your device to your computer, and in the adb terminal, type 'fastboot getvar all' without the quotes, please? This should output a list of the basic details of your device, please post that here - you may wish to edit out your IMEI if you wish.

I have difficulty understanding why someone would void the warranty (by unlocking the bootloader) of a phone that is seemingly defective out if the box. Not a very good idea.

No no, You got the story wrong. Let me make it correct.
1: Bought the phone from a local mobile mall i have 3 days warranty left. (Phone was on Android 6.0 update)
2: Did not touch the phone. Just installed my daily apps. i.e: whatsapp,facebook and stuff.
3hone started doing odd things like auto touch while charging and apps saying "force stopped" error
4:Then i thought that this is Android 6.0 bug on Moto g4, so i should update it via OTA.
5: Updated to 7.0 same issues.
6:I saw another update did it as well 14-4 update. This update caused bootloop but i managed to make it through by booting from bootloader.
7: Then saw another update 14-5 and that update failed. (WHILE THE WHOLE PHONE WAS ON STOCK STATE) Why did the update fail? I didnt even touch the recovery or anything at that time.
8: Then i flashed the custom rom and the rest of the story goes on as u mentioned in the post.
And yes i cleaned flash the rom with the OEMlock.bat script that the guy above gave to me. It included all things such as boot,modem and all stuff. So it was def a clean install.
"fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot"
This was the script i used to flash the fastboot rom which is 14-4.
Then again got force stop errors and the 14-5 update failed causing bootloop again.
I just have 2 hours to check the devices further or else im gonna return it today. Thanks

Oh, you didn't mention that you have bought a used device! Bring it back to the shop and buy another/new one. Who knows what's wrong with that device or which history it has...

Apologies for getting the story mixed up, the information you provided in your corrected post and subsequently makes the situation worse though. Sounds like you bought a device exhibiting ghost touching or the beginnings of ghost touch and possibly was hard bricked/had the incorrect firmware flashed previously. As strongst mentioned, return that device. It sounds like it'll be more trouble than it's worth... especially for a used device.

UPDATE
I returned the handset to the shop guy, he was skeptical at first but then he gave it to another guy who said that the phone would go in used market claim and then after that he'll either return me the money or give me a new G4 device. I'll have to wait till monday. It sucks. Anyways Thanks alot guys for the help i appreciate it alot.

[HELP] Return to stock before selling G5 Plus!

Hi! I could really need some help over here!
I have a G5 Plus that i bought in Sweden, Europe. I unlocked bootloader, and flashed a ROM.
But now i´m going to sell it, so i need to reflash the stock image (ROM). Also i need to relock bootloader.
Can someone help me find the latest, working firmware, and also with the right commands to use with fastboot to do this?
Modell is: X1685.

Why would you need to relock the bootloader? I guess you will sell the device warning the person that it doesn't have warranty, right?

I was going to type this but then found this post....

Be careful, it will flash the bootloader. If you have a newer version of the bootloader than th one you sumbitted, you will harfbrick your device.

If the stock ROM is older than what you have on your device, then the bootloaders usually prevent you from downgrading.
Hard bricks usually do not happen when you downgrade, they happen if you've downgraded and then take OTA updates (mismatches between the bootloader patch level and system patch level are a culprit). Best way to avoid this is to not downgrade.
At any rate, you cannot lock a bootloader with a build older than your existing stock firmware, regardless of custom ROMs flashed. You need a firmware of the same or newer build than your device stock firmware to relock. To the best of my knowledge, NPNS25.137-33-11 appears to be the newest or nearly newest firmware for EU devices. You can download from here https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto G5 Plus/Stock/ please confirm that this firmware is suitable before flashing.
You could try re-locking with other firmware, however NPN25.137-35 is for US devices, so would not likely receive OTA updates if flashed onto EU devices. As for warranty, the warranty isn't transferable as far as I know and as Motorola's got a record of the device being unlocked, the warranty is void. However, under EU consumer laws, you or the buyer could still get repairs if you're both resident in the territory. Would be wise to check this and let the buyer know.

There appears to be no fastboot flashable file for this version available anywhere on the internet. I've searched for days and had absolutely no luck!
Looks like both the OP and I are stuck on custom ROMs. Why Lenovo don't make these available I don't know...
If anyone knows of anywhere to get this please help us.
EDIT: Oh, also mine is XT1684 which I've seen virtually nothing about on XDA.

Mines a 1684, seems moto made 2 models for UK with same specs.
Regarding fastboot did you extract download zipped archive into fastboots folder.
When I say download follow the link above to firmware centre, if using phone to browse you need phone in landscape otherwise you cannot get name.

Thing is, there's no xt1684 version or retgb version. I fear it could be the wrong one, can't afford to replace phone so can't risk hard bricking it. Thanks though.

If you want to avoid wiping your data whilst flashing the fastboot stock ROM, you can omit the 'fastboot erase userdata' command and you do not have to re-lock your bootloader (re-locking will wipe your data).
However, if you are experiencing instabilities as you mentioned, a data wipe is a useful troubleshooting step, and may help you determine if your data is corrupted or whether you may have a more serious hardware/firmware issue.

Okay thanks for your comments. I will give it a try. Just one question is that the latest firmware. Because I had recently updated the ROM.

Okay, as your bootloader is locked, there's no need for the OEM lock commands. Using them, regardless of if your bootloader is locked or not, will erase your data.
Those commands look okay, just ensure in your flashing script that you have that erase userdata command removed (not just struck out). Your command list a look like:
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin

Okay so I have flash the phone using above commands, but no luck, exact same issue is persists and even nothing has been changed on the phone, not even lock screen wallpaper.
So now do you have any more suggestion please let me know if not will proceed with Data Wipe. Also Even if I wipe user data and after that can I recover files using some Andrioid File Recovery Tools out there.
Waiting for your reply and will proceed as you will suggest. Thanks.

That's not good, if a flash doesn't fix things.
1)Try to wipe your data via a factory reset. I think you can try to keep your internal storage by selecting to only wipe userdata in the stock recovery (boot to recovery, hold the power key then press the volume up key to get past the 'No Command screen', then under wipe data/factory reset, there should be an option to wipe userdata only). Then wipe cache/Dalvik in that same menu, and see if your device boots. I do not know if file recovery tools will work on non-rooted devices (due to restrictions on reading the data partition).
2)If that doesn't work, your device may have a serious hardware fault that only a service centre can resolve.

1) Done wipe data (user data only) with no luck.
2) Done wipe data with userdata and personalized content, still...
3) Flash stock ROM along with "Fastboot Erase userdata", but no joy.
Should I unlock the bootloader now and try to install TWRP and from there if I can go some where
And now I have kept the phone on Welcome Screen, its not getting rebooted, Am able to go till Select WIFI, even am able to connect to WIFI. Then on next screen it is asking me to "Accept Moto T&C", after that it will show me Checking Connectivity > Checking For Update > Checking Info.......and this is the point where it get restarted. Can you guess what is the issue, seems like its some network or connectivity hardware issue.

You'd only be able to unlock your bootloader if you enabled OEM unlocking in Settings>Developer Options, and you can only get to Developer Options if you can properly boot into the system (as a security measure)....
Hmm, if it's holding on the Setup Assistant now, can you use mobile data to set up instead of Wi-Fi? If it is an issue with the Wi-Fi, maybe using the mobile signal could get around that.

Okay so after one-month of stupidity from service center and some other guys finally I myself resolved the issue.
1) Service center tried to flash the rom but didn't resolved the issue.
2) They changed the battery, but still the same issue.
3) They said that this is motherboard issue and it will cost 5200 INR.
Then gave my phone on yaantra .com to repair it they kept the phone for 5 days and said the same thing that it is a motherboard issue as network circuit is not working properly.
( In between this I end up buying OnePlus 6 :victory: :victory: )
Then I bought one new damaged phone in which motherboard was working fine. I replaced that motherboard with mine and still the same issue. After this I started disconnecting parts one by one which are there on display pannel. After checking speaker, vibrator, flash, when I disconnected the fingerprint sensor and rebooted the phone it was totally fine and no more reboots.
I never thought that a corrupted/damaged fingerprint scanner can do this kind of wired issue to a phone. .Now this will be a spare phone without fingerprint scanner. Thanks for your help @echo92

How it works.
YOU NEED TO BE ON A CUSTOM ROM TO RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER!
1 - Download Stock ROM in the first post down below
2 - install adb minimal fastboot
3 - after install adb minimal fastboot, go to the install location and paste all the files there

Now youre phone will reboot, and your phone is locked again.

I'm using this ROM here:
[ROM][Stock+] [7.1.1] Dec. Patch NPNS26.118-22-2-12 Prerooted
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/development/rom-nov-patch-npns26-118-22-2-8-t3717037
Do I need to perform any procedures before starting this installation?

I think fast boot erase modemmst 1 & 2 may get a result of IMEI 0 error.

Thanks for clearing that up. So the older was to fully restore to Nougat and yours it to restore to Oreo. So being I never updated to Oreo I should restore with the old file, as I am sure yours would cause issues being I never updated to Oreo. You should clearly document that in the thread as well and not just the Title as well if this is the case. Just because most people do not thoroughly read but skim quickly and then jump without looking.

Yup, 100% stock. No more bootloader warning message. The guide did not mention that within the custom ROM that you are using, you must have OEM Unlocking under Developer options turned on before you flash the commands.

I think OEM Unlocking only exists in the stock ROM. Regardless of whether you're on a stock ROM already or are flashing the stock ROM, as you mentioned, OEM unlocking must be turned on for the OEM locking commands to work.
Of course, with re-locking your bootloader, it's up to you if you wish to keep OEM Unlocking enabled or disabled afterwards. If you disable it, your device will not be unlockable until you boot into system, which can be more secure but if you have any boot issues, then troubleshooting is a lot more difficult, plus you have no warranty. If you leave OEM unlocking on, then you could unlock your bootloader, but then so can anyone else with physical access to your device.

I think OEM Unlocking only exists in the stock ROM. Regardless of whether you're on a stock ROM already or are flashing the stock ROM, as you mentioned, OEM unlocking must be turned on for the OEM locking commands to work.

OEM unlocking also exists in custom ROMs. The reason that relocking your bootloader is not possible with the stock ROM is that the option is greyed out if you have your bootloader unlocked, thus making the bootloader lock commands not work. With a custom ROM, I was able to toggle OEM unlocking on, even when my bootloader was already unlocked. This allowed the bootloader lock commands to work and make the warning message disappear.
