need the stock fastboot rom for the build npjs 25.93-14.4, (March security patch)

In need of the full stock firmware for the latest build NPJS 25.93-14.4(march security patch) with the bootloader relocking ability, just like the link below for the build NPJ25-93-14 as it won't allow me downgrade and relock the bootloader anymore:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369
In need for relocking the bootloader as I need to try my luck with the service center for the screen burn issue.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Much thanks in advance.

You can relock using the same procedure, input those lines in cmd window, while phone is in fastboot mode:
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note that the first two lines HAVE to be repeated like that.

C:\mfastboot>mfastboot oem lock begin
...
(bootloader) WARNING: This command erases all user data.
(bootloader) Please re-run this command to continue.

it says still still require signed boot.img

I thought that you are on the STOCK build 25-93-14-4?
You can't go back to 25.93-14.4?

I'm on NPJS 25.93.14.4, i'll just downgrade to 25-93-14 and check with the commands provided.
Btw, thank you and sorry as I'm a noob and bothering you again and again.

just one thing, I'll be using the following commnads:
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
mfastboot flash oem oem.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot erase customize
mfastboot erase clogo
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
for downgrading to 93-14.
That would be fine right?

Yeah, fastboot or mfastboot are equal. It's a batch file in that zip file that does the locking automatically:
Code:
mfastboot oem lock begin
mfastboot oem lock begin
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6

He just can't. Motorola is a BI***, now bootloader is asking for signed boot.img, next it will ask for signed oem.img and/or system.img (it actually mandates both, but it won't tell you right straight) after that it might please to let him relock the bootloader. All of those signed images must match the gpt.bin version (i.e: NPJ.25.93-14.4)
I'm a noob, so not sure why people wonder this happens, but it sure does.
I'm very interested as well because I have another issue that can't be solved except with the requested ROM: CID = 0xDEAD, bootloader says "oem_locked" while it is not and not one type of boot is possible (that was my fault writing inconsistent dd images to phone)
Anyway, he is right, and his problem won't go away unless he gets what he stated in his very first post.

yupp, i too think that the bootloader can only be relocked if the latest official firmware with the latest security patch is flashed via fastboot.
If possible can anyone please provide the latest firmware for xt1643 with the march sec. patch?

I have assumed that he has just installed the update and didn't change anything in the system.

i am on stock 93-14 build, dec sec. patch. Now should i have to wait for the march firmware to be posted or is there anything else that i can still do to lock the bootloader?

Once you flash an official OTA, you cannot downgrade the bootloader and partition table to a previous version. And locking the bootloader will need the latest fastboot firmware. Also, please consider using something like pastebin or hastebin for such long logs/outputs.

that is what i need, is it possible to create the new firmware using the latest ota file?

That's I haven't updated to 93-14-4 build cause you never know what goes wrong with your phone BTW way you can temporarily fix the screen burn issue by changing the RGB values using kernel auditor or ex kernel manager

yupp, i am using the bluelight filter for the time being

Same thing here, guess we have to wait for official and complete firmware... -_-

yupp, waiting for the same

Hard bricked Motorola G7

Hello everyone! I am in dire need of help.
So I recently decided to acquire a regular Motorola G7 because I had heard its battery is fantastic. This far, I have been loving it.
But silly me decided I wanted to explore OEM boot unlocking to eventually root the device. After successfully completing theses tasks, I installed the TWRP recovery. Sadly, something (must have) went wrong because when I tried to reboot, the phone went into hard brick. Completely unresponsive, holding both power and vol. down button for 2+ minutes did nothing. I basically have exhausted every Internet recommendations thus far and nothing has been fruitful.
I have been able to get the Qualcomm Port 9008 (COM3) to show up in device manager when I hold power and vol. down. Also, the program QPST also recognizes a phone in Sahara download mode (although I have no idea what it means nor what to do with that, if anything).
So here I am, asking for your help. I have read somewhere that a blankflash zip file could allow me to restore my phone but alas, I wasn't able to find any nor would I know what to do with it.
I would greatly appreciate any help.
Regards,
Afireblood.
I have managed to find a way to potentially salvage my bricked phone, using QIFL tool to flash a stock rom. However, to do so I need some files (which are specific to the Moto G7 - any other would not do). They are:
programmer (firehose?).mbn
rawprogram.xml
patch.xml
I tried contacting Motorola directly to get those file but they basically told me to get lost.
If anyone has any clue where I could find that (except everywhere on Google - it hasn't been helpful), I would very much appreciate it!

Hi,
This post here is for a G4 model, but perhaps it can help you.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/solved-unbrick-hard-bricked-dead-t3585016
Seems like you need Motorola RSD, and blankflash file.

Hey criss77, thanks for your reply.
That indeed seems to be exactly what I need. I tried everything I could find and it doesn't work. I will need the specific Moto G7 blankflash.zip from Motorola, but I doubt they'll ever willingly release that.
I will try anyway and see if I can find a way.
Cheers!

Contacted Motorola, spoke with a few of their agents for an hour or so before they told me they wouldn't help because the warranty was voided when the bootloader was unlocked. I mean I know it would be but for ****'s sake, can't they just give me the files so I can repair the phone? I know they have them. How were older phones blankflash.zip files made public then?

Any luck finding a blankflash.zip file for the moto g7?
I am in the same boat.

Hi. I messed up my device after a faulty Magisk update. Hard bricked and unresponsive.

Hi folks! I've been working on various attempts to resolve this hardbricked G7 issue. Among them, using a Loader.img file flashed onto an SD card to boot into a bootloader, as well as attempting to create our own blankflash file. Here is a link to a post in another thread that provides everything I've attempted so far, and the files/links for anyone who wants to see if they are smarter/more successful than I at fixing our phones:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79875059&postcount=27
If anyone manages to fix this, or sees an error in what I've attempted so far, let me know! Kthxbai

I managed to create a working blank flash for my XT1962-5 (RETEU) and posted my results in this thread.

I have a good working image but does anyone know how to force the g7 in to qd mode please with a working rom can't get it to work from recovery just bounces back to stock rom

Qld cable or open up back to short out test point after unhooking battery ribbon

Well you're not really telling the whole story here. you were just using your phone and randomly it decided to reboot into bootloader mode and all of your partitions randomly deleted themselves? This was obviously caused by something. What did you try to flash?

Says your bootloader is locked. You can't have LineageOS and a locked bootloader. It also can't spontaneously just lock itself.
Download the amazon firmware here and flash with fastboot.
Make sure you flash 29.114-134-4 or you will brick your device. If you have flash errors with a locked bootloader it's usually because the firmware used is older or because fastboot is older. I think the recent fastboot is v29 downloaded here.
Flashing commands:
Code:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

I can never get the blankflash to work. Just says waiting for device
Sent from my Samsung SM-G973U1 using XDA Labs

I would like to ask a question and also give some discovery as well. I payed imeigurus to unlock my moto g7 power from metro. the bootloader was locked and they remotely connected in motorola factory mode to do the unlock. The only item they had me check was usb debuging and they did there thing. After this I checked and usb debugging was turned off. I went in to bootloader and flashed the retail rom for xt1955-5 retus. Then when I boot up and check software channel it says retla1st. It all works but what the hell. Thought I'd let people know so they could flash there devices to retail and this could also be put in to an appropriate thrread. But, retla1st why???? Anybody want to take a guess at that one. Also back to the topic at hand, blankflash is available and that might get you back up and running if you can get to edl mode. fastboot oem config bootmode I think.

You can script them if you know how to make one. Otherwise enter them one at a time. You only need to flash this once so if you do them once each it doesn't take a long time.

then
Code:

you may have to repeat this last lock command until it works. I had to do it 4-5 times.

I really appreciate the help. Thanks. Do I need to put boot image or 29.114-16-7-2 extract file in tools folder and do this?

fastboot needs to be in the folder with the 29.114-16-7-2 files.

Thanks

Note that you need to run the fastboot oem lock command a few times in the beginning (before you flash) and after you flash a few more times for this to completely work!

Did like said and pretty much everything after fb_mode_set said command failed
Didn't do nothing to phone I can tell. I stopped after trying bootloader
What's wrong

Moto G5 Plus unaltered went into boot loop, result; imei 0, "failed to validate",

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?

And what the last thing you do which cause this problem.

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 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

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?

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.

NO COMMAND when booting system. TWRP has no storage, cache, etc.

Hello I've messed up and didn't flash with fastboot correctly. I try to flash a stock oreo rom via fastboot with the commands at the end of the post and it boots "NO COMMAND". Then I flashed TWRP to flash a zip with it and phone has no STORAGE or memory or anything, so it keeps failing.
Is there any way via fastboot or anything to fresh start?

The last version of software for the G5 plus (potter:8.1.0/OPS28 .85-17-6-2) only shows 8 sparsechunk.x files - your batch file shows 10 sparsechunks - did you flash the proper firmware for your unit ?
Whats the model number of the phone and the file name of the firmware you used ?

I downloaded two OREO roms and tried both. Followed this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/moto-g5-plus-fastboot-flash-stock-oreo-t3848433 but maybe I messed up when choosing the rom: selected one first, and after it failed, did a -w in fastboot and tried the next one. My phone is a g5 potter
This is the other ROM I tried: https://qc5.androidfilehost.com/dl/...er-twrp-flashable-OPSS28.85-17-6-2-aroma.zip?

whats the model of the phone and the country your in ?

Its the 2gb model. I live in Argentina. I didn't back up EFS or PERSIST sadly

I'm not an expert on the firmware, but I know which US versions to use. I believe that your phone is the XT1680, and the firmware would be XT1680_POTTER_RETAR_8.1.0_OPS28.85-17-6-2_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip under the RETAR directory at https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/
In my past experience, no command was missing the recovery program TWRP. I would just fastboot it again, onto my phone, and then go back to recovery, and TWRP would be there.
It sounds like in your case the partitions may be missing, and TWRP would not see anything.
I try would fastboot the firmware listed at the lolinet mirror (use the batch file listed above that does not erase the modems and EFS/Persist) and see if it comes back. I would first delete the ADB folder and all software in it, it appears you may have had the wrong firmware. Put a new copy of the ADB software, a new copy of the extracted firmware from the mirror. See if it comes back,
If it does not work and fastboot appears to work, sounds like you would have to recover or recreate linux partitions on the phone. If there is no response from the phone, its probably bricked.
Hope that helps and thats all I can suggest.

Thank you for your help. Sadly, it doesnt work - it still says No Command. I'll quote the CMD Log down here, if anyone finds it informative.
If anyone can point me about recreating linux partitions on the android, I'd be glad. I have no idea what that is, although I'm going to look for it right now.
Bumping this post to see if anyone has an idea. Thank you Nivead.

I downloaded two OREO roms and tried both. Followed this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/moto-g5-plus-fastboot-flash-stock-oreo-t3848433 but maybe I messed up when choosing the rom: selected one first, and after it failed, did a -w in fastboot and tried the next one. My phone is a g5 potter
This is the other ROM I tried: https://qc5.androidfilehost.com/dl/...er-twrp-flashable-OPSS28.85-17-6-2-aroma.zip?

The second ROM seems to be (by name) a TWRP flashable which means it's not possible to flash it by fastboot, only by TWRP.
Maybe that should be the way to go for you. If you can't flash any fastboot firmware maybe try a TWRP flashable.
Versions and tutorials are here:

Thanks for the effort but I can't flash via TWRP because it doesn't recognize any storage
