Blasted kingroot - bricked my phone?

Ahh, hind sight is a wonderful thing.
After trying to use kingroot to get root access, it failed. And a few days later after rebooting.
I'm now stuck at bootup with Start Up Failed.
hab check failed for boot
Failed to verify hab image boot
failed to validate boot image
I've now tried lot's of different things, over the last few hours.
RSDLite (show device brings no thing up)
Unlock bootloader (request key, but error regarding OEM unlock not being set - no access to now set it LOL)
Downloaded stock X_Play_UK_Retail_XT1562_LPD23.118-10_CFC.xml.zip, and tried using various guides on fastboot but keep getting remote failed.
I'm on stock recovery (obviously still locked).
Any thoughts, or hope from anyone?
Obviously, not sure what support Motorola would provide for what is essentially my own fault?

Have you tried manually flashing each bit of the stock firmware/image. That might help. There's a good guide here which I followed to unbrick my device. Just follow the instructions http://theunlockr.com/2015/09/22/how-to-unroot-the-motorola-moto-x-play/

Or try this one.

I think you need to unlock the bootloader and then start with the 'fastboot oem lock begin' command. You can't flash a system image with a locked bootloader. Let me know how it goes!

I run the unlock command, with my unique key but I get ..

(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.

And since I can't get into the phone, I can't therefore check the "allow OEM unclock"

Have you tried any erase data commands or reset commands? Perhaps you could reset the phone so kingroot is un-installed and then try to turn on the phone. Short of that I'm stuck for ideas really, accept booting into 'fastboot and then erasing all data and factory reset in there. Let me know.

Have downloaded, and tried that - but the crux appears to be the fact that my bootloader is locked and I can't access the OEM checkbox. And therefore the tool itself can't unlock or equally install TWRP.
Unless I'm missing something in it's usage.

That really does sound like you bricked the device. If you where on lollipop software you wouldn't have the issue with check bootloader OEM unlock. If it was me I would either contact Motorola or go to a repair shop and have a motd experienced person take a look at it.

Try this, not necessary for unlock bootloader

I edit and made one firmware autoflasher for my x play Indian version and flashed successfully . everybody should check sparsechunk files no in flash file of your extracted stock firmware and edit my autoflasher files according to number of sparsechunk files and flash your firmware. It is definitely safe and I flashed my firmware by this but use at your own risk .

First you have to download your phone's correct firmware and extract in fastboot folder , and add my autoflasher and check your sparsechunk files number and make changes according to that in autoflasher then save ..Enter your phone in fastboot mode or in bootloader and not in stock recovery and run autoflasher.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT AT TAKING RISK , CONTACT Motorola AND MAKE EVERYTHING EASY.

I've ben used the latest rom so far why trying to flash (and failing) when I look at recovery I have a LPD23.118-10 number that matches to an earlier 5.1.1 rom (I had been upgraded to 6.0.1 via OTA updates) - do I therefore take that LPD ID to mean that I should actually use the 5.1.1 rom - I'm in the UK, so I'm assuming I'd use the UK one rather than Europe (I'm looking at roms on https://github.com/motoxplay/stock).
Thanks

Dooh!!
Looking back at what I was doing yesterday, within the mix of downloading various roms - appears that I was actually using the LPD23.118-10 and NOT the latest.
I figured, I'd give it one last whirl using the latest not expecting much - and hey presto, it's worked. Just in the process of resetting it all up again.
Thanks for everyone who contributed, and a lesson learnt about always rechecking what you attempt (and not to try to root if you're not 100% sure of what I'm doing)

TWRP on Nougat

I saw where someone said you could flash B20 bootloader and flash TWRP on Nougat, is this true? Is anyone working on a guide for Nougat TWRP and root. On another note I thought that I read that ZTE would be bringing Wifi calling for Nougat with carries such as T-Mobile? I was unable.to find it under options and assume that it is not possible, anyone have any idea about this.
Thanks

I have an unlocked BL and recently upgraded to Nougat, but when I try to reinstall TWRP via fastboot flash method, it fails. I have tried two different versions of TWRP 3.0.3-1 & 3.0.4-1. This is the message I get.

I got TWRP 3.0.4 installed (as well as 3.0.3-1)... It installed sucessfully via Fastboot for me, I even flashed SU, but I couldn't get my phone to boot into the OS (tried with and without SU).......It just hung at the boot pre-boot screen (where it warns you the bootloader is unlocked). I'd restart it, and it always hangs at that screen..... Only way to fix it was to boot back into TWRP, revert back to B29 (using DrakenFX guide) and then update to Nougat again. I spent about 16 hours straight working on this on Tuesday, before I gave up and decided to keep it stock until a custom ROM comes out, soon (Z.A.D. v.4), hopefully?

I have an issue where I installed B15 but whenever I boot my phone, it hangs on the Linux Tux logo. Any fix?

You probably pushed the power button to "Start"? Try letting it sit there about 10-15 seconds, if it won't boot...This is the exact same problem I had. I had to go back to B29, then do the update again. There is now a B15 "return to stock" walk-through, that may be the quicker route.....But I know returning to B29, turning on OEM Unlock in Dev options and then taking the update via your SD card was what I did (3 times in one day).

My bootloader is unlocked (back when ZTE actually provided the unlocking)....adb fastboot works on my phone as well and I've flashed TWRP (3.0.4 and 3.0.3-1) and it's booted into TWRP, but I cannot boot into the actual OS...My phone goes all black and just hangs there, I think this may be booting directly into EDL mode and not the OS? I can plug my phone into the computer and my computer makes noises as if a USB device has been attached, but my screen is completely black. If I push the start button while the phone is booting (to bypass the bootloader is unlocked warning screen), I boot to a small penguin screen.
The only thing I can do from there is revert back to stock B29, then update back to stock B15.
I want to be able to install TWRP, root my phone, on Nougat, and be able to use my phone too?

The MiFlash program found my phone, but failed every time I ran it.. So, I just bit the bullet and downloaded the latest TWRP 3.0.4-1 and flashed that.....And it worked! I then flashed SU, my fonts and changed my Emoji's....I'm about there with customization, and it's all booting up just fine!
But, yes the first few times I did allow system modifications......But I also did this last time too and it's working fine?

Why is everything so difficult on this device?

I constantly encounter roadblocks on this phone. Have not had issues with my OP3, Le Max 2, older Note 4 and Nexus 6 . If ZTE is pro this community, why are things not straightforward? On the OP3, simple lock and unlock commands and flash away. Got to do this and do that, 1001 different ideas from people. Right now, my BL is unlocked and I am trying to reinstall TWRP after upgrading to Nougat. This is the message I get when running my adb command to flash recovery:

It is possible rigth now, for a A2017U full stock in NOUGAT (no unlock, no root) to flash TWRP and jump to LineajeOS 14.1 ?
Thanks

Happened to me. Didn't figure it out on there. You have to re unlock the bootloader to get it to work as it currently shows unlocked but is in fact partially locked. I used the bl unlock kit available and ew unlocked the bootloader then jumped to lineage os. You must get to a point in the zip where it says to fastboot oem unlock and instead type fastboot oem lock. Then start the zip guide from the very beginning again

It's not that difficult, it's just different from hacking a Samsung/HTC device. Just be patient and read. We've all had those same problems and there are workarounds to those problems. But the problem you're running into is you don't have the proper fastboot installed that allows fastboot commands.

Which original one though? I've been trying and downloaded any Full firmware I could find using a firmware finder, for my VNS-L31 but using the force update method in download so far all of them return an error: Incompatible with current version. I have also tried the fastboot update and separately flashing each file in the update.app . None work so far. I keep trying.

If you're on Nougat, try flashing it's files through fastboot. It worked for me, MM system.img gave me an error, but nougat flashed fine.

I believe ur in nougat beta... Just flash oem info and flash again the nougat from there you can start again and downgrade peacefully

your bootloader is locked

Thank you! I followed the instructions here with a slight variation. Because trying to install the update.zip file always gave me errors I extracted the update.APP with the update extractor tool and flashed cache,system,boot with fastboot. Then I opened the custom recovery, installed the other zip file and continued as instructed.

extract ROM ,extract file attack ,put all to the same folder, (hold power + volume down to get into bootloader mode) and run file: retail_AS_800.bat ( no need to run commands)
Done.

Hey, thanks for the tool, just few questions, will this relock my device bootloader ? and am i taking the risk to hard brick it ? Do i need to have adb and fastboot installed ?
thanks for this tool and for your time

No relock anything. No risk to hard brick. If you flash down to 711 and then OTA update,it will. No need adb and fastboot install. Install usb and motorola driver

thanks for the quick answer. no relock, so if something go wrong i would still be able to flash some custom and rsolve the issue , right ?

Hi, at the end of the batch say
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase DDR
So all data will be erased ?
BTW, I ran the process and the phone went back to encrypted mode again, TWRP is not working any more and root access is gone..Any way to revert back ?
