How to BlankFlash a working Device ? - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

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

Afaik scatter is only needed for mtk chipsets and its flash tool ?
In moto G4/plus, we have gpt.bin and it is partition table for us.
If fastboot is working, then use guide linked below for proper flashing.
First check that you have downloaded latest firmware (installing downgraded firmware and taking OTA update will brick your device again)
This is latest firmware and procedure (note to don't use lock command if you don't want to relock bootloader, read there correctly) : https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138

[Solved] Hard Brick Moto X Style XT1572 ( Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 )

Good morning, I'm new here on the forum. Sorry if English is bad because I'm using the automatic translator and I'm from Brazil.
I have the Moto X Style that died after updating via ota (the bootloader is unlocked and had downgrade) result = does not enter fastboot mode, recovery, nor loads, when it connects on the computer by usb it presents qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008, for those with the same problem, I was able to recover my device through a file shared by a colleague of google plus who made a dump of xt1572 that works 100% (loader.img)

MOTO X STYLE XT1572 UNBRICK GUIDE
Initial Reminders: This method has been tested on more than one XT1572 model successfully, but we can not guarantee the success of this guide in your case. NO ONE HERE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR APPLIANCE. If you have no skill / experience or do not feel confident following such guides, DO NOT GO!
Several members of this community together have come up with a solution to the "Hardbrick" problem of Style, a condition where it gives no sign of life and recognizes on the computer as "HS-USB DLoader 9008".
THINGS YOU WILL NEED BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
1 - A computer with Motorola drivers installed, fastboot files and the DiskImageRev2 program. Your Windows user needs to have administrator access.
2 - A USB cable of good quality and 100% functional.
3 - A USB microSD memory card reader.
4 - A microSD memory card. Recommendation: 16GB, class 10 and ORIGINAL!
5 - The complete ROM file.
Details of this ROM: Dual SIM. RETAIL. Region "LA" - the two simcards operate 100% in Brazil. Android 7.0. Security Patch August 1, 2017. Version Number NPHS25.200-15-3.
6 - The file "Loader.img".
7 - The battery of the unit must be charged so as to allow the unit to switch on in fastboot mode.
Each of the above may require additional steps. For this guide not to get too large these details were not included.
STEP BY STEP
Step 1 - Burn the "Loader.img" file to the microSD memory card using the DiskImageRev2 program.
Step 2 - Insert the memory card into the device and turn it on in fastboot mode. There are three possible options: (1) hold down the Power and Volume buttons for at least 10 seconds. (2) Hold the Volume minus button and connect the unit to the computer. (3) Connect the device to the computer, after it is recognized to hold the Power button until it "reboots" it automatically enters fastboot mode.
Step 3 - With the device in fastboot mode, write the ROM normally complete using the Windows command prompt.
.\fastboot oem fb_mode_set
.\fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
.\fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
.\fastboot flash logo logo.bin
.\fastboot flash boot boot.img

.\fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
.\fastboot erase cache
.\fastboot erase userdata
.\fastboot erase customize
.\fastboot erase clogo
.\fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
.\fastboot reboot
This solution was the result of a joint effort of several people from the "Moto X Style BRASIL - Official" community on Google+
restores the dump into sd card, is this right ? or can you provide some instruction ?
This is for the XT1572 (not sure about other models), and yeah, you use DiskImageRev2 to write the loader.img to a sd card (32 gb card needed since it writes a 32gb partition)
After that you connect it to the computer, and press power button till it resets, it will start in fastboot mode.... then, just flash the rom you want (got mine back some hours ago with the same procedure)
@Danielo007
Good news.
Can you explain what/how did you unbrick MXP/S?
What to do with this file and after?
can confirm it works
Thank you very much
1. use Diskimage to write .img file on a 32gb card
2. put the card inside the slot
3. boot like you would boot to bootlooder (volume down + power) after some screen flash, it start in bootloader mode.
4. use fastboot to flash rom

Very nice! I've seen something like this work on other Snapdragon phones. Thankfully I've never had to try it on this one. There's something baked into the Qualcomm CPU that will fallback and read the bootloader from an SD card if the eMMC fails. Is that what's going on here?
Anyone tried it on an XT1575? I'm not sure if the bootloaders are interchangeable cross device or not.
I'd be happy to try and make an XT1575 debrick image if this one is XT1572 specific. Do you know if your colleague created it with a command something like this?
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/Loader.img bs=1M count=165

device boot only with flash card inserted

Not really, you're using an older version of your rom, you need the same GPT.BIN file to be writen, or else your not "fixing" the bootloader, it will give " preflash validation failed" in it, with the latest rom it worked for me, i'm not using the "emulation sd card" and the phone boots as the first time
---------- Post added at 14:32 ---------- Previous post was at 14:30 ----------
See in here the file "Guia para UNBRICK em inglês.pdf" gives you the instruction needed
you are right......but i don't have stock nougat rom for xt1572 EU, anyway i was able to recover my phone, flashing a nougat flashfire backup that i had made when i install it first time.
Guys, I love you. I DO, REALLY!
Finally my bricked XT1572 is back from the dead, at least it booted into Fastboot mode. However, I don't have the full Nougat ROM for the XT1572-LATAM_DS, only the Marshmallow 6.0 ROM with December security patch. Thus, since the Loader.img is for a Nougat ROM, I can't flash the gpt.bin and bootloader.img from the MM ROM ("Preflash validation failed").
Can anyone share the full Nougat ROM (if it's available), or at least the gpt.bin and bootloader.img (then I can flash a custom ROM, for instance)?
THANKS!!!
EDIT: found it on the Google+ community, downloading now.
EDIT 2: solved!! The ROM worked with the instructions! THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED!!
Amazing... Moto staff hided this secret from people for years ))
Tried this on my xt1575 and it worked initially. Failed to flash gpt.bin and bootloader.img from the 24.49-18-8 full factory MM image. It did initially boot to the stitch screen then powered off and won't power on again. Tried letting it sit and reinstalled the sd card but it won't power on at all now. When I initially put the SD card in the white led lit up and I was able to get to recovery mode. Now nothing happens. So I wouldn't advise XT1575 users to try this loader.img
I hope this interchangeable with X1575. Or some one can create a loader.img for it. BTW you would have to fastboot the last image that was installed?

Hi:
But finally when flash by fastboot, the destination is the internal memory or the sd card?

On other Snapdragon phones I've seen this work with in the past it is kind of a fickle thing. I looked back over some old threads, and you needed an image specific to the firmware you were running at the time you bricked. I think my phone is too much of a Frankenphone right now to be a good candidate for pulling an image from. I'm pretty sure I'm on the bootloader from the MM Sept 2016 security update and the modem from the MM May 2016 security update. Currently not on a stock rom either. I could make you an image, but based on BuildUpNow's post above I think it would either not work or maybe leave you worse off than you are now.
I could get my phone back to fully Sept 2016 stock for the purpose of making an image, but that's it. The bootloader won't downgrade. The XT1575 packages haven't leaked for Dec 2016 or Nougat, and I'm not touching those OTA's as poorly as they seem to be going. I've never seen so many hard bricks reported on this device as I have in the last month or two.
Our lack of full firmware packages for XT1575 will really hinder this unless you happen to have been on older firmware. Unless you can get your hands on a firmware package same or newer than what you were running, you're going to get preflash validation failure on the bootloader and partition table, and based on the posts above it sounds like you'll still be stuck.
can you please provide loader.img for moto x play???
I think any user of bricked xt1575 can use the same loader.img, flash stock N LatAm, one reboot and flash modem/baseband from 6.0 US.
If it will not help - system boots but wrong working - can flash full 6.0 US without BL, GPT, OEM commands.

I tried that and it didn't work.
I actually got my phone to boot up now though. But the phone will only boot with the sd card it in. I tried wiping it and using it for storage and the phone refuses to boot. The img has to be written to it. I also can't enter recovery mode( pwr + vol dn buttons at all). So now I'm stuck with mm6.0 and I cannot enter recovery at all. Guess I'll have to try and load the sd card on linux and see what files are on the card and see if there's anything to be modified.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for this quick and easy fix. My phone is back from the dead and it even worked on my Moto X PURE (XT1575). You made my day, honestly, I haven't been this happy for a long time

Try pulling the battery. Then put it back in and hold power and volume down.
Did you erase the bootloader? What else did you do? Just rebooting bootloader would not do that. Did you erase the system or something? ADB commands only work while booted to system. Fastboot commands are for use in bootloader. Fastboot reboot bootloader

I didn't erase anything. I just wanted to flash my E4 with RSDLite, but RSDLite was showing error in flashing gpt.bin failed or flash boot.img failed or flash recovery.img failed. Then I searched about it I found a way to flash firmware with Fastboot commands In Fastboot Commands I flashed some files but after that same error in Fastboot that FLash gpt.bin/boot.img/recovery.img was failed then I restarted my phone and it started and then I searched How to unlock bootloader of Moto E4 I found a video by following it I entered command adb reboot bootloader and when I pressed enter the phone went off and after it never restarted just shows black screen and nothing happens When I connect it to computer computer detects it as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5)

Were you trying to flash an older firmware than what was on the device? If you flashed an older bootloader than what you had, you have a hard brick. Paperweight

No. There are many firmwares for xt1766. It's SPerry, aka sprint, boost, virgin mobile,etc version. They all use the same firmware, but there are many updates/full firmware packages.
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=195327
Look towards the bottom at the Sperry firmwares. See? You likely flashed one older than the device had (you don't even know the firmware version?) And now have a hard brick.
I have the same device, and have seen others do what you did. It's dead. Your only chance is trying to return it to Motorola. Others have gotten replacement devices from Motorola saying it was a bad update.
But yeah, it's hard bricked. No coming back from that one.
The newest I've seen is SPERRY_SPRINT_NCQS26.69-64-5_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
So if you took ota updates, you were likely close to this build at least. You cannot flash a bootloader older than the one you are on.

So you tried to flash it before you unlocked the bootloader? You can't flash anything before the bootloader is unlocked. So did it ever unlock? If an older bootloader actually flashed in all that crazy bass ackwards flashing you did, it's toast. Nothing can be done. Sorry dude.
If you can get it to fastboot mode, you can still use rsdlite. Flashing the latest firmware of course. But not likely.

Moto G5 Plus XT1680 Flash Mode with other Bootloader

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.
@NZedPred, @echo92
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
