Hello guys,
I know this question is very common but I have looked many posts and couldn't find any that solved my problem.
I am trying to flash the stock moto X pure edition (xt1575) again in my device. The trouble starts because fastboot doesn't work.
I already installed Motorola device manager (2.5.4) and booted windows without driver signature enforcement.
I tried adb-setup-1.4.3.exe and installing android SDK, but still get same trouble.
The phone works and get normally funcional when android is loaded, but no responde in fastboot screen!
I am using windows 10.15063.296 (creators update). When I open device manager, now I see "Motorola adb device" with an exclamation.
A lot of windows, especially windows 10, users seem to struggle with drivers. I use Linux and never have any problems.
Maybe you could give this a try. https://www.xda-developers.com/forget-windows-use-linux-is-a-usb-bootable-distro-for-your-android-recovery-needs-xda-spotlight/

Thanks. After hours trying, I could get fastboot working.
The issue now is that I got "preflash failed" when trying the officially image available.

Just on bootloader and gpt.bin, or everything?
That happens when you try to downgrade the partition table, but usually as long as you flash all the other parts successfully it works. Keep a close eye on the output when you flash modem; it tends to fail on the first try.

This is the one... I had this on my window's 10. I upgraded to creators update and i doubted that this might not work but it did work for me

I have tried it before... wasn't working but i realized that i needed to push "allow oem unlock" and "usb debugging" buttons ... LOL.
Hey guys, i wanted to unlock bootloader, and so i UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, FLAHSED TWRP, TRIED TO FLASH CUSTOM ROM.
the twrp compared tz version and ended up in an error, so i searched online to know that, we need to update the system.
so i flashed recovery.img on top of twrp and rebooted where the fastboot got lost and ended up in a dead boot.
no vibrations, no led, no charging, no fast boot.
then i flashed using qfil using qualcom husb and got back the fastboot.
but this time, in fastboot, when i try to flash boot, system or recovery, it says, ::ARTITION TABLE DOES NOT EXIST.
so i tried to flash the gpt_both0.bin file as partition, and gave an error message of::: CANNOT FLASH THIS PARTITION IN LOCKED STATE.
i tried to fastboot boot twrp.img and ended up::: UNLOCK DEVICE TO USE THIS COMMAND.
so im pretty much got my bootloader locked and im unable to unlock it so i can flash stuffs.
the question is, how to flash the bootloader using fastboot so i can flash the rest and continue/??

Hi everyone.
I had a working Lineage OS 14.1 installed on my yureka device.
I got the newer version TWRP and instead of going to install the latest update from COMMAND PROMPT , i used FLASFHFIRE and this corrupted my device.
My phone when switched OFF shows the battery indications of charging, when connected to charger.
But, doesn't start when switched ON and when connected to laptop, shows the YU logo and goes into FASTBOOT mode.
Code:
$ fastboot devices & $ fastboot -i 0x1ebf devices
detects the phone and gives this =>
4a252f6 fastboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All fastboot commands work the first time or if the phone is removed and reconnected.
But, any other FASTBOOT command to flash the boot or recovery fails with error.
For the first run below is observed =>
Error 1 :
Code:
D:\RootingKit\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot 15_April_2018_Boot.img
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes

And successive runs shows a different error
Error 2 :

target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'boot' (20480 KB)...
FAILED (command write failed (No error))
finished. total time: 0.000s
Now, when i remove the cable and connect it back then again the first error message is observed.
I have tried all cables from different phones, samsung xperia yureka and others and not able to flash. Also, i have tried on different USB ports of my laptop and no SUCCESS.
Please help me out here.

Moto G5 Plus unaltered went into boot loop, result; imei 0, "failed to validate",
Hi all,
I stumbled on this forum while trying to figure out a way to rescue my husband's Moto G5 Plus. Yesterday it went into a constant loop of restarts, at best functioning for 5 minutes before suddenly restarting for seemingly no reason.
He is not technically proficient enough to do any error seeking, let alone booting or flashing a new rom, so for all intents and purposes the phone is unaltered except doing the standard android updates, adding common apps and so on.
Well, the phone eventually ended up in fastboot flash mode where it keeps giving the error: faild to pass validaton, backup to fastboot. I found the menu option for barcodes and both imei and SKU are set to 000000000000 or how every many 0's. Date is set to 01-01-1970, but serial number is intact.
We tried installing Software Repair Assistant, but it keeps going on "Processing device information" for hours with no result.
Also tried installing the Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant for the Rescue mode, but it gives me "Failed to match the connected device".
Ideally we would like to find a way to bring back the contents of the phone if at all possible. I found a thread regarding imei 0 issue but I couldn't see if that would also wipe all contents so I am hesitant to try that without further research.
Being a slightly paranoid lawyer, my husband doesn't believe in backing up his stuff to cloud based solutions, so all his photos of the kids (and more) are per now toast. He has a new phone (and a slightly more modern approach to cloud backups) so there is no rush to fix NOW, but we'd like to know if there's any point in trying to restore or if we should go ahead with hacks to render it wiped but usable.
Does anyone here know of a good way to resolve this issue?

It's not rooted, completely stock except following the recommended updates.
As far as I know, he did not do anything except charging the phone at night, and in the morning it had restarted, then kept restarting all day until ending in fastboot with "failed validaton".

Then it quite hard to recover data, but not least. You can try flashing the device from this procedure.
Here is the procedure:-
Step 1: Download your potter rom from the following link: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/RETAIL/
"POTTER_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPSS28.85-17-6_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip" download the following zip.
Step 2: Download Minimal adb and fastboot from the following link: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120698566
Step 3: Install Minimal adb and fastboot and extract the downloaded rom to the same folder where you have installed Minimal And fastboot package.
Step 4: After extracting open command prompt in that folder (where you have extracted the rom/ the adb and fastboot folder)
Step 5: Now boot your phone into your bootloader by pressing volume down+ power button at the same time.
Step 6: Type the following in your command prompt: fastboot devices
If it detects your device move to the next step, if it does not then you will have to install drivers for your device.
Step 7: Now Copy the following code and paste it to your command prompt:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Now your device will boot, if not try holding power button for 10sec then it reboot it self. If it won't boot then flash the device again with the following command
[Note:- this will erase all user data]
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize

fastboot reboot
This will boot you device for sure.

Everything will be wiped. Also make sure you downloaded the latest firmware. 17-6-2 is the latest.

Same issue, same results!
My Moto G5 Plus XT1687 experienced the same type of failure just over a month ago. First, it began randomly rebooting (never a good sign...), then my entire sms history disappeared (every sms AFTER that moment, however, behaved normally: received and listed/logged as new messages)... Then, about two days later, I woke up to a bricked phone. My phone was never rooted. Around the time of the random reboots, I had allowed my phone to update apps (I can't remember which happened first -- random reboots or app updates. I do know that I chose to update apps at that time because the phone was laggy and not behaving [even though there was ample unused storage available, and no apps stood out as memory hogs, etc.]). (Developer mode was enabled, but probably not USB debugging.)
On the barcode screen, my phone displays an IMEI of all zeros, a SKU of all zeros, and a date of 01-01-1970 (there is a serial number that may or may not be the original. It does not appear anywhere on the box label [where my actual IMEI and other numbers/codes are printed]).
I have tried flashing POTTER_OPS28.85-17-6-2_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.info (as well as a few older ones -- just to try) using variations* of the standard code, above (*with and without "flash partition gpt.bin" and "flash bootloader bootloader.img"...). I have not yet taken the leap of including "erase userdata", however, because I am worried about losing anything that might not have been backed up... (And if every single previous line of code has failed, will adding "erase userdata" toward the end make a difference...?)
Down the list, the results are identical to the ones posted here by MrsMotz: "FAILED (remote failure)", "failed to erase", "failed to validate", "failed to flash", "invalid signed image", etc. (I've also tried using the Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant Flash/Rescue tool [which I imagine is supposed to perform essentially the same function as flashing ROM manually] to no avail ["Failed to match connected device"]!)
I can't afford a new phone! I desperately need to make this one work again. What am I missing? Why did my phone self-brick, and how can I fix it?
Same issue, same results! Update

So, the "serial number" currently showing on my phone is not the real/actual/original serial number. My real serial number went the way of my real IMEA, I guess! Is this normal when a phone is bricked? Also, might the loss of my phone's genuine identifiers be contributing to the inability be "validated" or "recognized"...?

Seems to be a hardware issue. No IMEI, no serial, date reset to 1970...
Also the random reboots and the other things happening before are pointing to that direction.
So you're still able to reach fastboot mode and flash stock firmwares. When you say you were never rooted I suspect your bootloader is still locked?
If so I'm out of ideas, there isn't much you can do with an bootloader locked device.
I'm pretty sure that your hardware is the problem, so service center (depending on the country you live in) or buying a new device seem to be the only ways to go.

Thank you ... But darn
Bootloader is locked (screen says "oem_locked"). But, yes, I am able to reach fastboot mode. And the bootloader logs come through each time I attempt to flash anything...
PS My phone, purchased new, is only two and a half years old (I usually hold onto them much longer!). But... I did drop it into the pool at the YMCA several months ago... It had been "misbehaving" (background apps crashing) prior, but after four days in rice and silica packets, it came out working just as well as before...
@mahuba3: Any luck bro? I am also having the same issue, if you have fixed your phone, share me the details please.

Hard Brick (QDL state) --> Back to life (essential support) & sensors not working
Hi everyone,
Hope you are doing well, here my little story :
My PH was dead (QDL state) after a bad flashing, thanks to essential support I could have back my phone working, but unfortunately sensors (auto rotation & compass) are not working.
Essential support recommend me to re flash the last build that would probably be the best shot at getting the phone back up and running.
I would like to have your process recommendation to minimize the risk of a second hard brick. What USB C cable & windows drivers I should have, and what flashing process will be the best to re-flash the latest stock build ?
Current build phone: QP1A.190711.148
baseband version : 2.0.c4-M2.0.10
Kernel: 4.4.19-perf+
Bootloader unlock " DEVICE STATE - unlocked" (but i do not know if the critical partition is unlock too)
If you recommend me to run some other test before flashing, let me know.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Most of what you're asking is on the Essential Developer site. As far as a cable goes, just make sure it's not the originally supplied C-C cable supplied by Essential. I use an A-C cable.
Ok thank you, just to be sure, in the process I do not need to "Run the command: fastboot flashing unlock" as my device seems unlock.
I have the following :
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device modem EFS unlocked: false ???
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
I just make a test by running the flashall.bat and after more than 20 min I have the following state:

Hi !
How did you solve your hardbrick problem please ?
Thank you !
The key point is OPs device was bootloader unlocked prior to issues happening.
The common hard Rock issue most face is when the bootloader device is locked and an upgrade is borked. This is when the user is left with no recourse except get support from essential which is situational (send device back and get a replacement), if essential decides they want to help based on your circumstance.
