I bricked my MOTO G4. It's stuck on bootloop, so whenever I start recovery or the system, the moto logo turns on and off, non-stop. I tried the re-install official firmware process, and whatever I do, the error that says my phone's bootloader is unlocked and can't be trusted pops up. If I resolve it running the relock bat, the first problem, with the moto logo comes back. What do I do?
Here is the process that I tried: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-hardbrick-solved-guide-t3657761
*I unlocked my bootloader a while back.

Thank you, I'll give this a try.
This is just a message for clarity - The "Your bootloader is unlocked and can't be trusted" is not an error message. It's informational.
It comes up on almost any phone with an unlocked bootloader and you don't need to worry about it. You can simply flash a new logo over it using TWRP (flash) or fastboot (fastboot flash logo <name_of_logo>).
Personally, I use the Google logo from the following link - https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/simple-bootlogos-collection-miui-apple-t3650738

Hello.
First, sorry for my bad english..
I got the F800L model and I rooted the device following the guide of Dirty Santa.
One day I read in forum that someone was able to flash H918 rom to the F800L device.
So I tried to do same.. but with the mistake of not backing up my original rom.
When I tried to flash the H918 rom through TWRP, it installed well, but when it booted, it just remained hanged in LG logo.
I just left it over a day waiting if it pass the LG logo. But it didn't.
Then I searched for the fix and read the guide about restoring the bricked device through LGUP and kdz file.
So I entered in download mode and connected to PC.
Executed LGUP software and my device appeared in H91810i model instead of F800L. I downloaded the F800L kdz file and tried to restore with LGUP but it appeared error saying kdz invalid.
So I managed to download the H918 10i kdz file and tried again to restore.. and WOW! it completed the process.
But.. Now my device is in worse condition. It doesn't even turn on.
Tried to enter again in download mode but nothing happens.. neither enters in fastboot mode...
Pulled out the battery and reinserted, and tried to turn on but nothing happens..
Can anybody help me please???
I think you destroyed your phone
You should get it to repair service
lol, u just facing the same problem with me, i did exactly the same what u do, was looking around for solution, but nothing really helpful out there, the only way i found is the method with sd card, u get the debrick img file, burn it to a 32gb sd card with the right tool, put sd card to your phone and hope it will get to downloadmode or fastboot or whatever idknow cause i'm don't have the debrick.img file for F800L, looking for it right now, people say u can get that file from the phone (has same model) that still working, that all i know for now, if u found anyway to fix your phone please told me :highfive:
It has been repeated over and over and over "DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING THAT IS NOT MEANT FOR YOUR DEVICE" and also "FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK". Both of them together makes it pretty clear that you shouldn't have flashed something that was meant only for the h918 into an f800l variant. Developers dont write this down as fancy words or for fun. They do it in order to let everybody know that if flashed, it could easily alter your system in such a way that it might never be fixed except by the company itself. By flashing something that wasnt meant for your device, you are trying to override the system with an image. And if the developer never made the source compatible with yours, then software and hardware will be contradicting each other. The motherboards of the phones comes for its specific variants and only developers can alter an image of a system to make it somewhat compatible with the variant.
Now, lets hope you get an answer to how to fix it because LG wont be fixing it for you since you voided your warranty by a) the simple fact of unlocking the bootloader (which is pretty easy to identify since it shows the warning sign when you turn the phone on), and b) you rooted the device. And LG wont work with neither of those. Unless.... and this is a maybe because i dont know if they would agree too (if you pay the sum they request to fix it, which i assure you it will be more that $100+ maybe even significantly more). Then they fix it for you.
I personally made a backup in a separated MIcro SD card i have outside the phone. So that if i have problems with my system, then i just insert that micro sd card and restore the backup.
Good luck!
If the phones screen is blank when you try to turn it on you bricked. Only fix is a replacement. There is NO debrick.img
oh my god, if u stop at the step KDZ tool found your device that H918, I can help you. Just boot to fastboot mode and fastboot the file name bootbackup.img and KDZ tool will found your device is F800L then KDZ normally. Sorry for my bad English.

the first image said 'oem_locked', is that right? bootloader was locked, so you cannot flash via adb
Everytime i boot my phone it gets stuck on the bootloader mode. Please help. I rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader and i flashed the latest Nougat. After a few months i decided to install Oreo and i saw this video titled(Update Moto G4 and G4 plus to Android 8.1 (Oreo). In English.
) by C. David Graves and did the same thing and now my phone is stuck on the bootloader mode and it wont start. Please help as this is the only phone i have. I tried various methods like blank flash but it just shows waiting for devices.

Hi there!
Unfortunately my Moto g5 Plus, after reinstalling Arrow Os had a problem, then while trying to make a clean install, I accidentally have wiped system and probably too many boxes. (model: Xt1685)
At this point the phone bootloops but even when in fastboot turns off after 5 seconds, so I have no chance to transfer files or fix the problem via USB or with a repair software by Lenovo.
What can I do at this point?
I have a bricked phone and I can't get to Recovery and I do not have access at fastboot more than 5 seconds. I have the microsd installed but the phone won't stay put for long enough so that I can install anything...
What do you recommend?
Best,
Andrea
