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 erase modemst1

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.

Hi firmware experts! I have been working on getting a Turbo 2 working after water damage for the last couple of weeks. I am not an expert on any of this, so learning is where most of the time has gone.
After the rice drying, etc, the phone was in bootloop. I tried reflashing firmware, and I finally was able to successfully flash stock 6.0.1, but the phone remained in bootloop. I took the phone apart, removed a bunch of EMI shields, and scrubbed the components with 91% isopropyl, put it back together, and it booted right up. All tested components worked perfectly, ..... that is until I tried to activate the phone on a network. That's when I realized the cellular radio isn't working (wifi and bluetooth radios are intact).
Indications that cellular radio is non-functional:
*after activation attempt, phone call attempts result in the phone telling me to turn airplane mode off when it is off already
*sim card is being read but network signal not showing in notification bar or other such places
*under sim status in the settings the 'Service state' reads "Voice: Radio off / Data: Radio off" with an active sim card in the phone, rather than "Voice: In service..." or "Voice: Out of service..." as a Turbo I used for comparison displays
I'm not ruling out that there could be water induced damage to the cellular circuitry, but it seems strange and unfortunate that that would be the only issue that would remain. I'm wondering if I messed up the modem firmware during flashing.
Here is my most recent flash sequence with 6.0.1 (I believe I downloaded from mirrors.lolinet.com):
Code:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set

I didn't have any errors.
Is there a chance that I flashed a firmware from another region (I'm US) and that is the prob? I've tried flashing earlier stock firmwares I can find, ie. 5.1.1 but I get 'preflash validation failed',presumably because by bootloader won't let me downgrade.
XT1585_KINZIE_VERIZON_6.0.1_MCK24.183-22_cid2_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
Would it be a good idea to try 'fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin' or fsg by itself? Maybe I could try to just flash the modem and fsg from another package, which I think the bootloader might let me do.
I've read that you want to have a backup of the EFS, but it doesn't seem like you can without root, which I don't think I can do with my locked bootloader? I do still have an IMEI.
I am trying everything I can to get this working, any help is greatly appreciated. If you guys say it's no chance of a software fix then I'll go back into the phone and check the antenna connector and remove the rest of the EMI shields and scrub what's underneath, but I don't want to do this until I am more sure it isn't a software issue because I don't want to take the chance of breaking things in there when it wasn't necessary.
Thanks a ton!

i need help, same exact issue. anyone?
I have a second Moto G4 and I was curious if anyone got a fix for these issues? it happened a while back when I was trying to go back to factory image. there was a lot of errors. I cant seem ti find the screenshots of the errors that I got at the time. This was around January or so.There is no Mac Address in settings and theres no ip no way to turn data on and when I try wifi. it automatically shuts off. Doesn't detect my Sim Card or Service. says Emergency calls only
I have the same problem, I have got the sim working but no wifi or bluetooth yet.
When I load adb shell and grep the wireless module it says "WCNSS DRIVER NOT FOUND" even though it is there.
I found fix. Delete the old os completely and have the right stock os ready to adb flash. Id say google ATHENE_MPJ24.139-49_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml .. then put it in your minimal adb and fastboot file. go to bootloader and then back to computer to do the shift right click in the file on pc and get terminal up and copy and paste this

What are the proper steps to completely remove your entire OS safely? Do you mean to just overwrite the current one?
This procedure overwrites your current or completely. You will lose the contents of the internal SD card

Save what you want and it should be safe to just completely wipe your phone cache and all no overwrite.. Then have the stock ready to flash in the file on computer and do the the above steps. Ive done it on both my moto g4's because on my main one which I'm sending off to Motorola for screen repairs, I wiped my phone without thinking about the stock os. panicked but remembered the back to stock steps and attempted them. Ive always gotten errors or wifi and data wipe from over writing with the codes. So I just flashed on the one I deleted OS off of and it worked.

Yeah sadly you will lose everything unless you have it all saved. I was mad about losing a lot of things but I was having screen issues and data wifi issues to try to fix. I do have data and wifi now. I just wish I saved what I could.
Would the android data recovery program recover anything? Ive been searching how to recover wiped data. Internet is full of info on how wiped data can be recovered. I just want the text messages and stuff. I had important things in some the text messages I lost
You should save to the external SD card.

You should have made a backup with twrp. Then you could restore your os as it was.

Nope the firmware linked above caused the phone to go in to a boot loop.

Yeah that's what I did. Then I flashed the stock rom I googled. Ive been trying to update to nougat for past 2 days since I got back to proper stock rom.
you can;t flash any of the official firmwares via TWRP. You can flash a custom rom or restore a backup of your OS though.
to flash/reload an official firmware, you need ADB and fastboot running from a computer.
Exactly. Don't try with TWRP.

I tried to do a Factory Reset from within Nougat 7.0 under Settings, Backup & reset "Factory data reset" but after a reboot, my MXPE entered TWRP, so I tried doing another System reboot, but kept booting to TWRP, I eventually had to Re-Flash step by step , but I do know what could have caused it, I tried it 3 times and each time, same result. I have TWRP 3.1.1-0, Magisk 14.0 installed with Xposed Framework 88.2 SDK-24 (Systemless by topjohnwu) installed, and followed these steps https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268.

Boot into twrp and do "format data/factory reset".
Reflash magisk if you want root.
Reset from settings works only with stock recovery.

Reflash magisk if you want root.
Reset from settings works only with srock recovery.

^^^ This.
When you choose to do a factory reset, the phone attempts to boot to recovery and perform that action.
When you have a custom recovery on the device, the action cannot be completed and the phone retains a 'flag' within one of the partitions to continually boot to recovery.
This partition has been identified on most phones that have been around for while and rooted, however, the method of removing this flag is usually performed in an 'unchecked' state, and therefore, any mistyping can potentially brick the phone for good. Hence these methods are not generally publicised.
I remember back in the days of Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich, these methods were shared more openly, however, in those days, I think the community both here, and on other forums, was a little more savvy in terms of technical ability and awareness of potential issues.
Regardless, if you have twrp installed, do not attempt to perform a factory reset from within the settings of android, you can only perform it from within twrp.
I hope that this sheds a little light on the issue.
Yes it does, Thank you.
I only wish the Carriers and MFGs would openly be more friendly with Development/Rooting since it would help Enhance the products openness and compatibility after the initial Warranty period of 2 years. Google Pixel devices welcome Rooting and Bootloader unlocking without void the warranty, plus there is a lot of more customization out there with a rooted device and bland UI and backup options, than one that is so locked down you practically can't do squat with it. I like the MXPE and the MOTO Actions / Voice have a lot to do why the MXPE STOCK image is a sought after device as well the 21 Mega Pixel Camera and the storage options, to name a few. The Craftsmanship of this device from China is pretty good compared to other devices, and it feels like its built strong and not too fragile, I only wish it was 100% waterproof and virtually indestructible like the Droid Turbo II.
I know security has a lot to do with the reluctancy to openly unlock a device, but that would put some more pressure and creativity on some developer like TWRP to help protect the device they are running on.

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.

Yeah the update note appears to be up but as you mentioned it's not been released yet to any channel. So for now the latest firmware we have is the Feb 2018 build.

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
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot reboot
If this flash doesn't get your device going, you may have to wipe your data or consider a service repair as a locked bootloader gives us limited options for rescue.

Thanks mate. Am going to flash this tomorrow. Will surely let you know the outcome. Anyway if all this allow me to use my phone at least for an hour, I will take the backup of the necessary data and then will proceed with wipe data/factory reset.

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.

Okay so seems like am in serious trouble.
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
