Help, my Moto X Style XT1752 Brick :(

Hello people, I come with a Moto X XT1572 brickeado, out of nowhere is stuck in the Motorola logo and it does not pass from there, restarting over and over again.
I tried several methods to try to install a stock Firm, 6.0 or 6.1, but without success.
Because I can only connect it in fastboot mode and RSD Lite does not recognize it, I followed the tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njXQYn53SPc
Whatever Firm it is, I throw the following error:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
(Bootloader) has-slot: boot: not found
Target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
Sending 'boot' (40960 KB) ...
OKAY
Writing 'boot' ...
(Bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
Finished. Total time: 2
I understand and I have read, the problem is initially in the boot, I have tried flashing only the boot, but it does not respond, throwing the same error.
It is worth clarifying that the bootloader is blocked, and if I try to unlock it it throws me:
(Bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote failure)
Finished. Total time: 0.00s
I can not check that option, since it does not fix je.
Also it is worth clarifying that it does not allow me to enter the recovery, when it enters that option it is automatically restarted returning to the motorola logo again and again.
Do you have any idea what else to try? Thank you in advance.

Have you tried a factory reset in the stock recovery? From the bootloader select Recovery and let it start, when you get "Dead Andy" with an exclamation mark after the timeout, hold power and tap Vol Up and release both keys. Select Factory reset/Wipe data and let finish and then reboot... First boot can take 20 minutes plus after a reset.

Selecting Recovery restarts the device, returning to the Motorola logo and restarting again and again, without ever entering the recovery mode.

In the bootloader, can you post the output of 'fastboot getvar all' (just mask out your IMEI number)?

Stock firmware images are digitally signed, so yes, you can flash them with a locked bootloader., but downgrading is tricky even with an unlocked bootloader. The key here us to just get it bootable.

Do they? I'm sure they do... and if you send it in for repair I am sure they can fix it, but they won't give it to you if that is what you are asking. :/

If you are in warranty and u haven't unlocked your boot loader yet you can give silly reason's like i revived updates last night but battery was low and while updating it turned off and now my phone isn't booting up

Hello, finally I take the equipment to an official technical service of Motorola, where they told me that they could not repair it since the cell phone did not take Software. Is this possible or would it be that the technical service did not have the necessary software version?

Good afternoon, I return the subject after a long time since yesterday I thought to try again, and I found that the cell now turns on, but when trying to complete the initial configuration, after choosing the language gives me to select the wifi networks, where it does not detect any, and I do not enable the jump or forward button, and I'm stuck there again, it's very strange, as soon as I enter that screen, it gives me the option to add a new network, and I can see that says Mac Address with pure zeros, as if it did not have MAC.
If I try to enter the recovery, now I see "No Command" (previously not directly entered), and there is no way to skip this "No Command", I have tried all the methods that appear online.
EDIT: I was able to get into recovery, but I do not know if it can help me now.
Any ideas? he seems to be brigado, but not as much as before

Flash the right modem for your region in fastboot. You should repeat the fastboot command "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin" at least two times because the first time it won't "stick". After you'll have to execute "fastboot erase modemst1" and "fastboot erase modemst2" commands and your wi-fi and data signal should return.

I still have a problem, when the device is turned on, it always turns on Bootloader mode, and I have to select "Start" to turn it on. This is why when you want to upgrade to Android 7 via OTA, when the device is restarted during installation, it enters Bootloader mode, select "Start", restarts the update, restarts in Bootloader, and remains in an infinite cycle.
Is there a solution to this? I have already activated USB debugging in order to unlock the Bootloader.
Thank you!!

[SOLVED] [XT1572] Fully bricked or is there a solution ?

Hey there,
To make it short, the phone was rooted, bootloader unlocked, and it was on Resurrection Remix (don't know which one, it was Nougat 7.1.2).
I tried to restore it back to stock, lock the bootloader etc (following this guide : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-return-to-stock-relock-bootloader-t3489110 which has files for xt1572 too ).
During the process, I got the error that a lot of people get about the Preflash validation error and yet i went through, except that I still locked at the end (I did not notice the Note about it below the command lines, I so regret it).
I also flashed the original Motorola logo (instead of "Bootloader is unlocked"), but I don't think this has anything to do with the fact that it got bricked (I can be wrong though).
Now, I can't access the phone through the cable. adb devices (with killing and restarting server) doesn't detect anything, I'm just stuck on the big Motorola logo splash screen.
Anyone has any idea on any possible way to unbrick it ? (I heard about qualcomm hsusb something but I'm just not sure where it can lead)
Thanks !

@pef6000
Bootloader is locked? What is status code...?

can't you use fastboot (from device turned off hold power + vol down) and flash stock motorola rom?

Hey there, thanks for your answers.
I can't access bootloader nor fastboot. adb doesn't show any device anymore.
I cannot even turn on or off the phone. It just reboots even if I long-press the power button. It just boots back up, and I can only leave it like this until battery is depleted.

Hold power, when screen turn off hold only vol-. It should go to bootloader.
Check and post here BL status. @pef6000
---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------
Btw, if you will go to bootloader mode(locked) - you can only flash again stock 6.0.1(newest).
Without bootloader and gpt.
Check how many sparsechunks you have in zip file, I think from 0 to 11.

Sorry for being late. I tried that yesterday, but one problem after another, Windows died
I'll pass some time on it whenever I get the computer working.
I tried starting in BL and it worked !
I think the fact that it wasn't working before was due to the phone bootlooping directly on splash screen (maybe, I don't know).
Here, battery was dead since I couldn't turn it off. So I plugged the phone in while keeping vol- pressed, and it booted immediately in.
Couldn't get a hold of the status code though, the computer rebooted and crashed, so I had something else in mind, sorry :/
Anyway, I'll do that whenever I can, thanks for your help !

Here again. I accessed bootloader and I get :
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
[…]
Console [NULL]: null
Battery OK (charging)
Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3
Software status: Modified
Before this problem, when I tried to flash everything, I have parsechunks from 0 to 8, not 11.
Now, I don't really know what to do. Should I do everything back again with a 6.0.1 zip ?

Yes.
Without bootloader, gpt and Don't lock BootLoader.

Hey.
I did it, didn't lock bootloader, didn't flash bootloader.img nor gpt.bin, but it still freezes on the splash screen logo. I suppose it woudn't take as much as 15 to 30 minutes to switch from that splash screen to any other screen.
The bootloader is still accessible, and I still have the same things (unlocked, status 3, etc).
Am I doing something wrong ? :/

What is your model and what rom are you flashing?
What do you have on pc after: "fastboot getvar all"? @pef6000

It's a XT1572, European (got it in France).
I'm trying to flash the one for XT1572 in the link with the instructions : https://dl.prazaar.de/?dir=Android/XT1572/Factory/6.0.1/MPHS24.107-58-5_September_2016

Did you flash: boot, recovery, all sparsechunks(0-11), modem, all erases? Each command ended with OK? @pef6000

Yes, I did all of this, everything turns out ok except one error (the Preflash Validation).
Now that I read it again, the post says it happens on gpt.bin, except I didn't flash it as you said.
I just did it again and I get it again at this step :

Btw, the bootloader log on the phone says "Image is too large" after the "cmd: flash:modem" line.

You should edit your post and remove the IMEI number...

Is it possible your last stock system was 6.0?
Download and try to flash reteu 24.49-18-4, still without BL, gpt, oem.
(I don't know how many sparsechunks there is, check it).

on MPHS24.49-18-4... I would suggest using the same version or XT1572_CLARK_RETEU_6.0_MPHS24.49-18-8_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip and NOT 6.0.1. The 6.0.1 versions were only for certain variants, and I do not know if the RETFR ones had that.
And don't skip the bootloader or gpt UNLESS they actually fail... It is best to do it like this:
Also, if possible boot into the factory recovery and perform a full factory reset before beginning.
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8 [Verify number of sparse chunks and make sure you are doing the correct #]
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin [May need to be done more 2 or 3 times to "take", make sure it returns an "OKAY"]
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
My 2 cents worth... hope it helps.

@acejavelin Oh damn, thank you. I thought I checked correctly but I didn't notice the IMEI in there.
Thank you both for your help. Phone booted up on original rom, I'm happy
I'll mark this post as Solved, but I have a quick question : Can I use the XT1575 logo.bin found here :https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...o-remove-unlocked-bootloader-warning-t3201141
Or is it better not to do so ?

Btw.
You flashed ...18-8 or 18-4? Maybe someone will need it in future.

@pef6000 Any of these or the one you mentioned is fine.

Sorry for the late answer, I flashed the 18-8 in the end.
Thanks again, I'll mark this as solved !

Simple Moto G4 Question

Motorola G4 XT1625
Minor Problem: Phone will not start normally, only boots into Fastboot mode.
Minor Problem: Phone is oem Locked
Major Problem: I never went into "settings" on the phone and ENABLED OEM UNLOCKING.
Question: Is it possible to recover this phone or am I spinning my wheels here?
A little background. Not a developer, just trying to get my phone running again. I have installed Moto tools on my PC, requested and received an unlock code, connected to the phone and can send commands via command line. I understand what the issue is, and hindsight says I should have enabled the phone for development on day 1 based on the risk of an OTA update failure. I've read nearly every forum post regarding this topic, just haven't got clear answer as to if this phone is recoverable.
Oh, and if this looks slightly familiar, its a repost of a thread I started in the general Android help and Q&A forum. I received an email from Brandon, chief admin, letting me know I may receive more info from the MOTO G4 forum.
Thanks in advance.....

Hello there, if the phone boots only into fastboot mode it may be that Stock OS has been wiped, therefore having no OS would reboot the phone every time. When you unlock the bootloader the user data gets erased and the phone goes into factory reset, however, you didn't have OEM unlocked. I don't see if it should be an issue right now.
What I would do is trying to find the stock ROM of your G4, and re flashing it. What I also would do is just try to flash recovery thru fastboot and see if it works.
Quick question, do you see the unlocked boot loader message when you boot your phone ? (this phone cannot be trusted blah blah)
Let me know if it works either way. I don't think OEM lock should be an issue if the system partition has been erased. You got an unlock code and used it.
Good luck!

If you can remember what firmware you had before attempting to unlock your bootloader, you can find a lot of the athene firmwares here: https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=72578
For US Nougat devices, I recall the latest build is NPJ25.93-14.7 (though there are reports that there is a newer build being deployed).
That's an odd issue to experience though - can you remember what happened to your device? Was there a factory reset or an erase command issued? A locked bootloader normally should not permit you to erase the system.
With OEM unlocking disabled, you likely would have been blocked from being able to unlock your bootloader. However, by requesting the unlock key, Motorola has a record of the request against your IMEI, so may refuse to service your device under the now voided warranty. Perhaps the best bet at this moment in time is to try a stock ROM reflash.
If you can't remember what stock firmware you had, or want a confirmation, then I'd like to see your getvar info please:
1)Boot to bootloader, connect your device to your computer.
2)In the ADB terminal, type 'fastboot getvar all' without quotes, press Enter on your keyboard.
3)Paste the output into a post here, you may wish to remove your IMEI. This output should be a list of your device variables and give us an idea of the state of your device.

Thank you both for help here.
Quick question, do you see the unlocked boot loader message when you boot your phone ? (this phone cannot be trusted blah blah)
No, the phone will not boot in any mode, factory,recovery,etc, and comes back with
Start Up Failed:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (secure)
Fastboot reason : UTAG "bootmode" configured as fastboot
ERROR: Failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot
Boot up failed
As to the pre-failure status, the phone was fine after the last upgrade, I believe in late December or early January. I also noticed that the internal storage was running thin so I uninstalled some unused apps as well as using the storage/apps/ clear cache method to get the unused space back to about 3GB unused. No problems after that either. The problem started with the phone doing one of two things, it either shut down such that I had to hold the power button down for 30 sec to start/reboot the phone, or would it simply do a full reboot on its own. The period between these events varied, sometimes a matter of minutes, other times a day or two. It did this for about a week until it booted into the mode I described earlier.
The following is the requested data from the phone,
Thanks again for your help

My limited knowledge tells me that this is older than the firmware loaded on the phone and will not load (see errors below)(security version downgrade)

Thanks for the getvar info. That suggests you have the NPJ25.93-14.7-3 US retail firmware (December 2017 security patch). Unfortunately, we don't have that firmware leaked to us yet - hopefully someone can capture the correct firmware from Motorola.
As you've correctly surmised, the firmwares we've got are too old for your device, and particularly as your bootloader is locked, the locked bootloader is rejecting any firmware that is older than the current version (as locked bootloaders do not permit firmware downgrades).
You could refer your device to a service centre and see if they can flash the latest firmware onto your device (and hopefully not charge you), or wait for a retail NPJ25.93-14.7-3 stock firmware to 'unofficially' appear.

Thanks Echo92, the help has been greatly appreciated.
It was an Ah Ha moment with your last message when I realized I could see the version of firmware from the getvar info, like I said I'm coming up the learning curve, just been a slow climb.......
I have contacted Motorola service about the phone, the response I received was that the G4 is not repairable, I could purchase a replacement for $90, which when you think about it is not a bad deal, but they only offered it with a 90 day warranty. I did not specifically ask about them simply re-flashing it, so I'm not sure if that was an option or not.
In case your curious, I've since replaced the phone, different brand, but will keep this one as a backup if I can eventually get the firmware re-loaded (hoping that it is not hardware related problem)
Thanks again

February 2020 or + update stock rom

So i finally flashed my phone but i cant instal any stock rom on it, even before it bricked and i could access twrp all roms i tried said it was corrupted but i had no problem unziping them, right now after i install a stock rom the phone just stays in "unlocked bootloader" screen, my guess is it need latest update stock rom
Lenovo assistant doesnt reconize the phone either
Thanks

Thank you very much, i tried flashing the lates firmware but no succes, i cant follow the tutorials, i used a .bat file i found on the internt, but when it boots it takes me to the bootloader screen. I'm trying to find a bat file for moto g7 river, that might be the case

See my thread on Flashing Stock
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/guide-flashing-motorola-firmware-t4042039
You might want to try mfastboot
Flash commands should be like this
add a "m" if using mfastboot

HardBricked Moto G7

Hey guys,
I was trying to install HavocOS on my moto g7(River) and while wiping cache and internal storage through TWRP I accidentally also wiped the System as well, now the phone boots up into fastboot mode with the oem status shows up as Locked. I tried flashing stock Rom using fastboot ( as the phone still enters fastboot mode) it returns a error saying
FAILED (remote: '')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Trying to enter recovers give the following error
Startup failed:
No bootable A/B slot
failed to boot Linux, falling back to fastboot
Boot up failed
And trying to flash TWRP gives the same error
C:\platform-tools>fastboot boot twrp-3.5.2_10-0-river.img
Sending 'boot.img' (32754 KB) OKAY [ 0.710s]
Booting (bootloader) permission denied!
FAILED (remote: '')
fastboot: error: Command failed
any help would be appreciated.

Try the following...
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
If it fails to erase userdata, then use fastboot -w. Erase what you can regardless, and reboot directly to the bootloader. Then try flashing vbmeta first. If that doesn't work. Make sure you have the correct firmware and make sure it's the same or a newer version than what you were on. If all else fails, you need to trigger EDL somehow and blank flash.

Where do I find vbmeta ? The stock firmware image I have does not have vbmeta
this is where I am downloading the stock firmware from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/river/official/

I didn't expect that. Start with gpt and the bootloader. See if it works.

When in bootloader/fastboot, check what the output of "fastboot getvar all" and it should show build fingerprint in some of the output. Are you flashing same firmware as shown in the output? I'd assume same or newer should work . But otherwise may need to trigger EDL to blank flash as already mentioned

Try running "fastboot oem blankflash" and see if it reboots into EDL mode. If so you'll just need a blank flash file and that should fix you up.

Oh yeah! There's a bunch of them. What's your model number and device code name? I'll help you find it, and I know where the tools are to run it.
Edit: I found it! River - there are 3 here. https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/river/blankflash/
If those don't work, I know there's more in the threads here. We just gotta find the right one. And here's the tools you'll need. Runs on windows 7/8/10. If you use Linux then I think we'll need to find RSD lite.

Thank you for you help again man I am able to boot into my phone now . Will make a guide on all this so if someone has the same issue they can fix it.

I have a similar problem with a hard bricked Moto G7. I successfully installed Lineage 18, but was getting error / nag messages at startup. A Motorola pop-up saying the device was unsafe. After about 10 seconds it would then boot into Lineage successfully.
I then rooted the device in an attempt to stop the nag messages, and now it won’t boot up into the OS. It will boot into fastboot / boot loader. But if you try to boot the OS it just goes to a black screen and the OS never starts.
I can’t get it to flash for TWRP. If I type “fastboot devices” the phone will show up in the list. But if I try to flash TWRP.img it says that no devices are present.
I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thank you!
