The bootloader has changed and phone is bricked; what should I do? - Moto G7 Questions & Answers

So I have run CandyOS for a while, but since it got bricked for some reason (possibly something to do with magisk modules) I decided to run another ROM instead. This is what I've done, keep in mind my bootloader has been unlocked the whole time:
1. booted into TWRP
2. flashed LOS 17.1 (gave error 18)
3. booted into bootloader in order to boot into LOS native recovery which I here realized existed (although their installation page says to use TWRP)
4. phone reboots into a changed bootloader which now claims "oem_locked"
The bootloader:
Code:
(in the middle of screen) Power off
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
BL: MBM-2.1-river_retail-0ff2095b20-200404
Console [NULL]: null
Tools Mode Config: DISABLED
Battery OK
oem_locked
I've tried a couple of things, results below:
I tried to unlock the bootloader (I have the unlock code saved):
Code:
fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXX (bootloader) feature disabled
OKAY [ 0.003s]
Finished. Total time: 0.008s
Tried to flash a recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery lineage-17.1-20200719-recovery-river.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (20318 KB)...

..boot into recovery:
Code:

OKAY [ 0.702s]

finished. total time: 0.702s
The exact same things happens with TWRP
I have also tried the Lenovo recovery program with no success, it refuses to recognize my device.
So what would be my next steps? Any help would be appreciated as I've tried to ask in a couple of places with no success

Did you try manually flashing to stock? If your bl somehow got updated to Android 10 along the way, it may explain some things. If stock 9 doesn't take, then perhaps try stock 10. :fingers-crossed:

No this actually didn't occur to me, I'll try it as soon as I get home and see what happens. Thank you!

Did I do something wrong?
Edit: just realized I should've tried the same with 9 instead of instantly jumping to 10, I'll report back in a bit!
Edit 2: Nevermind, same result with 9 so the above still applies

Apparently you're trying to downgrade or install the wrong version of the firmware. The firmware has exactly to meet the version of your phone. So, for instance, for an XT1642 you flash software for an XT1642 and not for an XT1644. Read carefully and flash every file one by one in the exact order. And be sure your bootloader is unlocked.

Your downloaded ROM is 6.0.1_MPJ24.139-13.1 , and its too old, which means you are downgrading firmware version.
Downgrading of gpt and bootloader is not possible, also it may cause problems to you.
Download latest firmware and flash it..
Hello. Edit your "flash.xml" from firmware and delete line related to "gpt.bin".
Reflash your firmware with rsdlight using flash.xml

From the looks of it you used the blankflash for the B1:06 bootloader. The reason you're getting the pre-flash validation error is that the MPJ24.139-63 firmware is too old to flash onto your device (that's the Marshmallow 6.0 July 2016 patch, not the latest unless you're wanting Marshmallow), whereas you have at least the June 2017/Sept 2017 bootloader on your device.
I would strongly recommend you flash the latest stock ROM we have, which is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 You can either flash the NPJS25.93-14-13 firmware as in the main post, or towards the end of the post, there are links for NPJS25.93-14-18 (April 2018 security patch): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76416801&postcount=785
If you really want to use Marshmallow, you could in theory flash without flashing GPT and bootloader, but you must not use OTA updates. If you want to update, you need to flash stock firmware.
If you want MM... YOU should 1st flash latest nougat... And then.. Boot into twrp don't flash it.. Just boot... And then wipe system, dalvik, data, cache.. And then flash MM.. without flashing gpt.bin and bootloader..
And as suggested by @echo92 you should not take any OTAs.. You'll brick your device..
flash was succesfully done by following your steps (BIG THANKS FOR THAT)
but phone is not turning on after reboot
it comes with motorola logo and then it will automatic turn of and now only led was blinking
and when i press power + volume up button at 1 minute then motorola logo was reappear and
then the same process was happening
and in device manager it was showing qualcomm loader 900 or something like this i didn't remember
what is the solution

Hmm, is this with a locked bootloader or unlocked bootloader?
What steps did you use, just for clarification? Did you flash the stock ROM with or without re-locking instructions?
Are you able to boot to the bootloader still (using power and volume down whilst your device is powered off)?
I am sending you a video after flashing my moto g4 plus xt1643
It was like bootloop happening

From the video I see no bootloader unlocked screen, which suggests your bootloader is locked.
Can you confirm if you performed all the flashing steps and they were reporting [okay]? A locked bootloader is quite strict and will not let you boot with custom firmware or stock firmware from other builds (must be the same build). I'd recommend booting to the bootloader and reflashing the stock ROM again. Please keep the log and look for any errors. At this stage I would forget marshmallow and focus on flashing the latest stock Nougat ROM.
If a reflash does not work, you may have a hardware error which only a service centre can fix. A boot loop with a locked bootloader suggests either a bad flash or bad hardware.

So i had the same problem with you, had tried to solve it for 12 hours straight and FINALLY I found a solution: search the internet for a TWRP backup and restore your phone to it. I managed to find one, but i have a z2 play. Hope you can find one as well.

Bricked phone trying to root, now unable to flash stock rom

So I successfully installed TWRP recovery.
I then tried to flash SuperSU, but that gave me a boot loop, so I wanted to try and flash the stock rom again.
I wiped my phone with TWRP.
I wasn't totally sure what the correct version of the ROM was to download. I can't check because the phone is already wiped. It's a UK Moto X Play "lux XT1562 16GB P2C" single sim slot. I had installed an OTA update yesterday. I downloaded XT1562_LUX_RETEU_6.0.1_MPD24.107-52.xml.zip, would that be the correct version? Is there any way to know for sure?
So when I tried to flash the stock rom I ran into problems.
I ran "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" and I got "(bootloader) Preflash validation failed".
I saw someone say that this could be because you need to flash the correct version of the bootloader first, so I did "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img" which was successful, but even after restarting "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" still failed.
I'm really confused as to what I'm doing wrong. Am I having problems because I'm trying to flash the wrong version of the bootloader, or a version older then that which I had on my phone before wiping? Is this the kind of error you'd get if you were trying to downgrade, or should that work fine?
Help greatly appreciated!
Edit: Should I possibly try flashing 5.1.1 X_Play_UK_Retail_XT1562_LPD23.118-10_CFC.xml.zip or is flashing an older version a bad idea?
Have you used this method? You have to export the zip file, its not a flashable zip and then you fastboot all the files via adb.

Also I think that its not considered bricked when you still open fastboot. Brick means there's no way to flash anything at all wich is really hard to happen

Sorry, should have said "soft-bricked".
Looking at the guide you linked, it doesn't seem to suggest anything different from what I'm already doing. I'm following the how-to-unroot-the-motorola-moto-x-play guide on theunlockr.
It fails when I try and flash gpt.bin
Code:
❯ fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.143s]
writing 'partition'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.740s
and on the bootloader logs is says
Code:
cmd: getvar:partition-type:partition
cmd: getvar:max-download-size
cmd: download 00008000
cmd: flash:partition
version downgraded for primary_gpt

You should try the Motorola device manager, it helped me once, when I deleted ALL and couldn't acces the phone anymore. Worked very easy, at least you get full access again va ADB.

I already have access to the phone, I have bootloader and recovery, just no firmware, but can't get flashing of the stock firmware to work.

Flashing boot.img doesn't work either

Yes, I've unlocked my bootloader, and successfully flashed TWRP. Bootloader says "Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3"

try this command in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
and see if it tells you anything about your current firmware and flash exactly the same one. Look for
Code:
(bootloader) ro.build.fingerprint:
line.

Thanks for the pointer, didn't know about this command!
Bare in mind that I've already fully wiped the phone in TWRP, and I also successfully flashed the bootloader (and just the bootloader) from the 6.0.1 rom I mentioned above. Would this not affect the output?
This is what I get:
Code:
(bootloader) ro.build.fingerprint[0]: motorola/lux_reteu/lux:6.0.1/MPDS2
(bootloader) ro.build.fingerprint[1]: 4.107-52-5/5:user/release-keys
(bootloader) ro.build.version.full[0]: Blur_Version.24.201.5.lux_reteu.r
(bootloader) ro.build.version.full[1]: eteu.en.EU

Ah interesting! That seems to be a slightly different variant? MPDS2 instead of MPD2.. any idea what that means?
Nearly downloaded, will give it a go and see what happens!
Edit: It worked! You're an absolute life saver! So confusing that those two ROM are named so similarly..

No idea what it means, but both your getvar info and linked firmware are MPDS. Anyway - good luck.

US996 stuck in fastboot

I was using LineageOS (latest official build). I was trying to flash an updated bluetooth modem image, and the boot screen said my image was corrupt.
I was able to use LGUP to reinstall US99610f. Now I'm stuck at the fastboot screen on very boot, even after removing the battery. The phone is locked again, and I can't flash the unlock key through fastboot.
Code:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'unlock' (1 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.026s]
writing 'unlock'...
(bootloader) Error!!
(bootloader) Bootloader Unlock key write fail
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.068s
I'm unsure where to go from here, I've tried:
LGUP again
Hard power down/reboot
LG Mobile Flash Tool (CSE mode?), but that failed
Thanks,
Doug

I used LG's Web Chat Support, told them what happened. They were very accommodating and sent me a prepaid shipping label. They classified it as an "In Warranty - Software Failure", fixed it and shipped it back to me.
They did this even though they knew it was bootloader unlocked. Took about 2.5 weeks total to get it back.

us 996 fixed
i had a h910 flashed over to us996 that was stuck in fastboot. i had tried everything from flashing all the us996 firmwares to frp reset and came up with nothing. i then flashed H91510c_00_VTR_CA_OP_1007.kdz it not only successfully flashed but got me out of fastboot mode. i am now reflashing the us996 10f and will re root and twrp .. hope this helps someone out.
