Hello all, just picked up a boost mobile moto G, loving it so far. Having some trouble unlocking the bootloader in Xubuntu. Right now its all i got.
well, I have adb set up, and i know it all works fine on my nexus 7.
I plug the moto g with debugging and mtp enabled, I use adb devices to check the connection, it shows my device, so i use adb reboot bootloader, it reboots to the bootloader.
then when i try fastboot devices, it just says "no permissions fastboot"
and nothing works. Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks for any help, would really love to get Slimkat running on this sweet little device
Edit: nevermind. Got it working

For the record: you need root permission to use Fastboot in Linux so use it with sudo.

Ya. Had to use sudo su. Then give the full path to platform-tools. Never had to do this with my n7

It's included in Motorola Device Manager. Unsure why you are getting that error, try rebooting computer or reinstalling all drivers.

There is no falcon s driver in online, its all fake
Just instal MotorolaDeviceManager its automatically detects 100%:good::good::good:
I unlocked my Moto G XT1040 bootloader and tried to load stock Kit Kat (because my wife didn't like Lollipop) using ADB.exe, but something went wrong. Now it boots to the "bootloader unlocked" warning screen and won't continue to boot after that. I can't run ADB commands against it because it's saying that no device was found. I assume that's because I need to turn on USB debugging, but I can't boot into the OS to do that.
I heard you could restore stock firmware using Odin, but I can't seem to find the stock XT1040 tar files that are needed to do that, and I don't know if Odin will be able to communicate with the phone, since ADB isn't recognizing any connected devices (the phone does say "USB connected" and in device manager it's recognized properly as a Motorola android device). I even tried using a different computer, but still can't send any commands to the phone.
Is it bricked beyond repair? It's fine if we have to stay with Lollipop - I'd just like to get it operational again.
Cheers

Thank you! I'm a newbie so I assumed that if ADB said no devices were recognized, then certainly fastboot commands wouldn't work.
I actually ended up using mfastboot to restore the stock firmware and everything is working great. Thanks so much!

In case your phone doesn't go on bootloader mode or do weird things:
By @hakneo :
If anyone is not able to connect as Moto Mfastboot mode driver and your battery is not charging through USB as told in guide, this may help.
1. Start up the device manager. Uninstall any UNKNOWN Moto devices.
2. Remove the device cable and Uninstall Motorola Driver software.
3. Restart the PC in normal mode and reinstall the Moto Driver suite.
4. Hold the down volume and connect the cable. Now Windows should install it and your phone will start charging.
Go ahead with the flash.
Note: If you get a bootloop, go back into bootloader mode with phone connected at pc and use again the bat file
Every thanks is appreciated, if this procedure helped you
Thanks for making the guide!! Great job!!

I do not have 10 posts yet, remove underscores from urls. I will edit this when I have 10 posts, I'm sorry for the slight inconvience.
Hi, new here! I recently acquired a Motorola G7 (xt1962-1/river_amz) from my sister. The device did not boot. It mentioned that the device did not start-up successfully, something in relation to slot/a and slot/b, and that I needed to utilize a Software Repair Assistant.
Non-Verizon devices cannot utilize this Software Repair Assistant, I tried and it hung at Processing Device Info. For Non-Verizon devices there's a piece of software called Lenovo MOTO Smart Assistant which can be found: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101291
This option did not work for me as the Bootloader did not for some reason allow the device to overwrite some of the content (permission was denied device side.)
The MOTO Smart assistant was good for downloading the devices software. So you do the following:
Download and install the smart assistant software
Click the flash option and then the rescue option
Click moto phone
Select moto g (7th gen)
Select xt1962-1 and then next to target and firmware name there's a download button press that and the firmware will start downloading
You can follow the onscreen instructions for that program, like I said however, it didn't work for me so I'm just going to tell you the steps I went through to get the device working. If you have other solutions, I, as well as the rest of the MOTO G7 users will be happy to hear what worked for you I'm sure.
I tried downloading the files from /moto-g7/development/moto-g7-river-xt1962-1-firmware-29-114-t3913673 on this site and flashing those with some of the below mentioned methods but, no dice.
The default firmware download directory is C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles btw.
I didn't want to fuss with trying to get RSDlite working on Windows 10. I found that an older PC with a 32-bit install of Windows 7 was far easier to manage, so, that's what I went with.
To follow what I did:
Download RSDlite 6.2.4 from rootjunky's site via: http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Android Programs
Download 32-bit drivers from: http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Android Drivers/Motorola if LMSA did not install them already
Copy the firmware folder to your desktop or somewhere easy to work from
Ensure your device is in bootloader mode
Open RSDlite and your device should be detected
Select the firmware folder and open flashfile.xml with RSDlite and press start
Let the process finish and don't interupt or you will have to do it all over again
The phone should boot, you will more than likely have to sign into an google account that's already been in use on that device (due to FRP)
You can also use the XML to BAT method, that didn't work for me (remote permission denied/device side)
I hope this helps some people who struggled like I did. Also, sorry if some things are badly worded if at all. I'm autistic and have trouble explaining and expressing things.
Check out my stock resources thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g7/development/riveramz-stock-resources-t3917937/
Worked perfectly!
Thanks! I had the same issue (my wife's Moto G7 stuck at the bootloader) and was able to follow your directions, so much appreciated.
The only change I made was to follow the directions at this video (go to youtube/watch?v=njXQYn53SPc) to perform the XML to BAT instead of using RSDlite (since I was on Windows 10).
It worked perfectly and fixed the issue--and the great thing was that by converting the servicefile.xml instead of flashfile.xml, I was able to retain all the data on the phone.
The overall sequence of steps (listed in detail, since this was my first time flashing. Remove underscores from URLs):
Download Lenovo Assistant from your link
In Lenovo Assistant, go to Flash, then Rescue, then select model of phone. Click to download the firmware (but do not actually click the "rescue" button).
Download Google's Platform Tools (to get fastboot and ADB)
Make a folder to hold everything (called "flash")
Copy the downloaded firmware folder from C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles to flash folder. Copy the fastboot, adb, and adb dll's from the Platform Tools to the firmware folder (per the video).
Copy and edit commands from servicefile.xml to a new servicefile.bat, as described in the video. Place this file in the firmware folder.
Run batch file in command prompt from the firmware folder.
That got the phone running again, with all data intact.
Thank you so much, worked like a charm.

I followed sd86's guide and used servicefile.xml instead of flashfile.xml, as suggested by chi2.
No problems whatsoever installing RSDlite 6.2.4 on Windows 10 x64 (1909). The drivers were installed by LMSA and I have no idea why you guys said it was difficult.
Just for the record, my phone is a Motorola G7 (xt1962-4), that out of thin air started showing the following message:

When slot A is active and you flash Lineage OS using TWRP, it writes to slot B and switches to slot B.
When you reboot, you cannot boot anymore, because on slot B there is no bootloader.
To mitigate this issue, you have to flash a "copypartitions" zip before rebooting.
My phone also was in 9008 mode and I revived my Moto G7 using the blankflash method, see here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...reteu-t4020263
I can also confirm saving my Hard bricked, non booting black screen, no life moto g7 with the above blank flash app from above link. then i used the lenovo recovery program to put the original rom back on the phone downloadable here: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101291
if you have a black screen hard brick, no life but windows 10 sees it at an unknown or 9008 device then you can bring your moto g7 back to life again. follow all the above links and youre good!
I don't have a Windows 10 PC...plus, if I screw up my phone, I'll catch hell from the wife...lol
SO...that being said, if someone has an XT1962-6 'River' RETIN phone running Android 10 w/June Sec. Patch....I'd be willing to 'donate' to their paypal for a copy of my phones fw! Anyone interested plz pm me. Thx!

then download lenovo smart assistant and press rescue
Hi. Im new here too. Well been for a while just my second post and the first time iv actually been able to flash a rom. I have the same problem. No bootable slots. I know exactly what i did wrong. I knew it the moment i hit the reboot button. However, i run zorin 15 on my pc and the levono assistant don't support linux. Anyone know where i can acquire the assistant running linux? Greatly appreciated in advance.
Thank you very much sd86 and chi2 for your research and help
Sadly my phone can't boot after flashing clean OS
I don't want to erase UserData partition, but it seems error is there (as it's only left partition untouched).
As I still would like to keep my data (this is the most important thing on our mobile devices) the only one hope is to unlock bootloader, flash recovery partition (eg. with TWRP) and then perform a backup from recovery software.
