my phone softbricked during the update process , now it is not booting up,
how to check if my bootloader is updated or not , and can i use your method for flashing stock firmware again.
I can boot into recovery and bootloader mode , in recovery it shows kitkat recovery
XT1033
My XT1033 Dual Sim Brazilian was in 4.4.4.
I updated to 5.0.2 via OTA official by the device itself.
But I found the slower Lollipop and would like to downgrade.
I never did bootloader unlock.
This method serves for the Moto G XT1033 Dual Sim Brazil Retail?

the command we used has two skipped commands,these code r published on many pages but they don't skip those files and phone gets bricked due to that,so its a warning that don't copy from there.

1. All data is lost. Make a backup.
4. This method requires an unlocked boot-loader, which voids your warranty.
I'm not sure about the rest of the questions.(I believe you should be able to get updates/upgrade to the latest version of android)
thank you man, I raised my moto G :fingers-crossed:
I tried to downgrade from 5.0.2 but I gave also the two additional commands, therefore I bricked the device.
Tried to flash the 4.4.4 firmware and clearly it doesn't work.
Tried to flash again the 5.0.2 (BR version), but no luck. The phone remains in the unlocked bootloader screen.
I can throw away the phone? :crying:
So, here is my problem that somehow my bootloader or any one of the partition is corrupted which somehow messup with the moto g4 plus HW partition file and corrupt it. I try to push a edited file but it tucks the recovery. The only hope light is from the Blankflash as it actually flashes everything from scratch.
The main thing is that my device is working just it shows y Moto g4 plus a Moto g4 with no sim working and no fingerprint working. I can't connect my device as a “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008” as my device bootup in fastboot mode always. So, any workaround to Blankflash a working device anyone please.
its easy, first download very old fastboot stock rom, for instance Android marshmallow, which is very old;
flash it using fastboot and take OTA, it will miss-match the GPT and boot-loader Because GPT partition is not downgradable and it will brick your phone,
then you can flash the working blankflash
I would do the same. Can you explain me exactly how i brick my Phone to use the blankflash?
thx

A month ago my Moto g5 plus died trying to fix a Moto Z Play from a friend. I had mistakenly connected my cell phone thinking it was my friend's and I ended up flashing mine by mistake. Since then my Potter died! I have tried everything to be able to relive it but I can not find the way. I have downloaded all the official Stock Roms and none has been able to raise my phone again.
The result after the flash was that the original bootlader that I had changed completely! Now I have the data of a Moto Z Play on my Moto G5 Plus.
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
BL: C1.07 (sha-9d7f987, 2017-04-01 13:44:07).
Is there any way to relive it again? The Model is Moto G5 Plus Potter XT1680 32GB P3B. Every day I try to do something new but I can not find the way anymore ....

I think you need to use the blankflash from albus. If you flashed Z Play's firmware then you changed the bootloader of your G5 Plus to Z Play's. Have you tried the albus blankflash? Please report after trying.

I can not download the albus blankflash from the page because it does not exist. I got a BlankFlash from Moto Z Play from another side but when I run the .bat it remains on waiting device.
In device manager I am listed as "Fastboot Potter S", after installing the driver, it is in ADB Interface. But from there I can not execute Blankflash.
Another solution?
This is the flash file that no longer appears on the page but I can not find it on the other hand the same link
cloud vache-android com/Moto/albus/blankflash/
Try downloading blankflash from here...
https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=213037
Is your ADB and Fastboot working correctly on PC?
Download the flash blank but it still does not work. The ADB and Fastboot works correctly but it does not let me run the blank flash. Any other idea?
If I try to load a rom from Fastboot, it works. But if I try to do blank flash with the qbot.exe command from the .bat it does not work.
It is always on <waiting device>

Not really sure why I'm tagged here... This isn't my area of expertise at all.
Sorry, but I have no incite here.

Hmm, is your bootloader unlocked? In the G5 plus unbrick guide, those users who managed to recover their device after using the albus bootloader and the addison2potter GPT/bootloader were only able to use stock TWRP flashables (though you didn't hard brick, flashing the Z play bootloader is a similar result). I'm not sure if flashing a stock ROM via fastboot is an option, due to the different bootloader. There are reports that the stock ROM may be flashable if you omit the GPT and bootloader, however you'd need an unlocked bootloader and also you'd have to forget about using OTA updates at all. Else, you'd likely actually hard brick this time with an OTA update.
Thus, if you can, stock TWRP flashables or a custom ROM are likely your best options.
Just checking if you've tried these:
- Fastboot to boot a TWRP image (i.e. fastboot boot twrp.img, where twrp.img is a TWRP file)
- Fastboot to flash just a bootloader from the right device
This isn't really my area of expertise either. I usually fix things after having broken them myself, but I don't want to try this
My moto g4 plus (XT1643) imei =0 after flashing the stock 8.1 android.
I execute the command fastboot gervar imei . It return the imei
I checked the persist partition there is no such file
Dhob.bin
Shob.bin

Maybe too late to reply but flashing latest official rom is the only solution.
Either use fastboot method or use TWRP flashable official roms,
