I am just nowhere, my phone just treason me when I needed it most, It is very hard Bricked, nothing working, contacted support and they told me it need Replace (but I can't send to service #close this question)
My Story:
Constant restart loop, on Motorola logo. It can go in Bootloader when press Vol Down and Power Button, but that's it, (actually when going in recovery it goes to Broken Android sign, but than restart again)... so how it happened?? I do not know as u do not, I am just normal user, never done anything to crash system, never Rooted, even not installed any kind Launcher, nothing, just some normal Apps and only two game, and lot of music listening, that's it that's all (also physically it's like new, never ever droped or water splashed even). and one day come home, plug in for charging in my PC as always and boom, some strange app crashes and it restarted for EVERRR, wtf is this just do not understand, WHYY?????? so disappointed and so bored...
Question:
so Can it be Helped? Unbricked? I do not care Contacts or any kind Data, just work again....And if it can please step by step I will follow, and do not redirect me to other thread, just help me out here please
And if it cant be Helped, just say frankly and I will capture video how I am splashing it on REAL BRICK wall and will post it on this thread...this will be closing and **** sending of Motorola
My Spec:
Moto G (16GB Global GSM, no SD card slot, single SIM) - KitKat 4.4.4 (it bricked so I cant see Falcon version or other spec, but I have original Box)
I searched everywhere and seen lot, but all of them are 4.4.2 or 3 and also US versions, strange languages and so on. also here on XDA but as I'm Noob I do not know if it will work for me, and before destroy it completely I wanted to know from people who knows much more then me, what can do and what not, so please be patient for my Noobety, Thanks and Sorry...

Ok, don't worry, just follow the tutorial to reflash stock firmware and it will work again.
You need this: http://www.filefactory.com/file/1dw..._4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
The only thing to say is that when you reach:
Code:
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
you may have to try this instead if it doesn't work:
Code:
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
Let us know how it goes!

Oops, sorry, I forgot... It's up to you about unlocking bootloader. If you do, you can't send your phone back for them to sort out the problem. However, if you root your phone, you'll be able to install a custom recovery such as TWRP, sideload a rom, and hopefully all will work. But of course I can't guarantee that it will work, so it's a risk. If it were me, I would send it back as you haven't rooted it and really it shouldn't brick itself on its own for no reason.

[Q] The hardest rescue

Hi everyone!
Just a little question, as I'm facing this situation right here:
is there a way to revive a phone that doesn't boot, nor lets me access recovery mode or fastboot or bootloader?

Which phone are you talking about?
I'm talking about the Alcatel V860. It's absolutely an uncommon model, that's the reason why I'm speaking in general.

Please ask specific questions as its related to the phone model. I'm not hopefully about it. You can get it serviced by "bootloader repair" Should be about 40$.
Some of the more common phones can be unbricked on your own.

I've already posted here, but I received only one answer, so I decided to speak more general just to know if it is theoretically possible to rescue a phone in the situation I described.
Anyway, do you think that there is no way that the pc can communicate with a phone that doesn't even reach the bootloader?
Ok, I'll ask a different question: the phone I'm talking about ended up this bad while flashing an official OTA.
How is that possible?
I thought there was no possible way that an OTA messed with the bootloader, or the recovery... or fastboot! Doesn anyone know what could possibly have gone wrong during the update?

Actually, it seems like your phone is bricked, there are some methods to unbrick some phones but I don't know if they would work for you, just try to do a Google search how to unbrick a bricked phone, and it might return with some useful stuff, try everything that's possible, because nothing worst can happen over a brick(except it can blast in your hand if you connect a high voltage in place of battery)(lol, it won't happen! )
Hit Thanks if I helped sent from my SM-T211
Already done that, I'm giving up if my pc cannot communicate with the phone.
At this point I'd only like to know how could an OTA corrupt the bootloader.

It wasn't me, it was my cousin, who flashed an OTA which apparently corrupted all the layers of the OS. I believe him, but I find it incredibly difficult to happen, so I wanted to know if that could really happen.

Try smart phone flash tool(on pc), I recently came across a thread in which author said he have a hard bricked xolo phone and it don't boot to anything, but responds to SP Flash tool. Give it a try, if might work.

What rom should I flash to get extra Languages?

First, don't panic.
Second, explain how do you unlock the bootloader, did you use this?
Third, what does the bootloader screen (Power+VolDown) says in the second to last line before the first break (LOCKED/UNLOCKED).
Fourth, if it says UNLOCKED, try to flash the ROM using this, otherwise try to unlock the bootloader again with the link i posted in the second point.
And don't worry as long as you can enter fastboot mode (bootloader) you can fix everything, and nothing of the things you are doing affects fastboot mode.
They all want money.

I used that webstie to unlock the bootloader, and when I went to fastboot it did say UNLOCKED status code: 3.
I left it plugged into my PC last night because It wouldn't turn off, and I think it wasn't charging because now it's off and won't turn on. I'm going to plug it into a wall charger and wait a few to check if it's on.
After that, I'll try the method you said.
EDIT: Seems like charging doesn't work either, weird... because it said it was connecting to my PC last night in Fastboot

That's weird, doing the steps in that page don't make changes big enough in the phone to make something like that happen.
What does it says in the line below UNLOCKED, USB CONNECTED or CONNECT USB DATA CABLE while you had it connected to your pc/wall?
Why don't you try to use another cable?

That's a... unorthodox approach, but reading around it just might work.
I can only recommend you to put it in a sealed container and having a rice bag at hand afterwards, just in case.
Now if you can get it to fastboot mode, try to restore a backup (if you did one) or flash a ROM, im assuming that if you can connect a cable and send commands to fastboot it is charging the phone. BTW at this point if you can send commands and are tired trying to fix it, you can execute
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and you can claim the warranty, that behaviour is not normal, maybe something in the hardware side broke but until we test it more we can't be sure.
Now while we wait in for the phone to become a popsicle, can you detail how you unlocked it?

Ok, so I bought the phone and got it carrier unlocked, then yesterday I decided to flash a new rom to get the languages so I went to https://motorola-global-portal.cust...e/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/action/auth. Unlocked the bootloader and when the phone was about to restart from cmd it said "FAILED" but rebooted anyways. It went into fastboot again and ti said it was Unlocked, when I selected Normal Reboot, it started up with the bootloader logo and continued on normally. It was then that it displayed the android startup page (Where you select language, sign into google, connect to wifi etc.) like I haven't used the phone before. Shortly after a popup came and said " Android is updating # of apps out of 137", once that was over every single process on the phone crashed.
Now I'm where I am now.
One more thing, I booted it into recovery before I unlocked the bootloader, accidently. Do you think it maybe could've wiped the original OS on the device?

As far as i know, you can't wipe the system with a stock recovery and with a "blank" OS your phone still connects to PC.
i forgotted this existed, at this point you can't lose anything in trying it. i dont recomend the bootloader bricker part for your case.

fastboot erase all --> no IMEI (unsolvable atm)

Hello,
so... yep, I did "fastboot erase all" :cyclops:.
But if I boot into bootloader I can still get my imei with "fastboot getvar imei", though the rom doesn't recognize it. Nope, not even that anymore.
Is it just corrupted or something? Can I still "unbrick" my phone?
(I'll try to flash the stock firmware, but it'll take a while to download) did not work so far.
Stuff I tried:
-Flashing stock firmware
-Edit #550(IMEI) with QPST
Thanks in advance!

If your imei displayed in fastboot mode then you might have a chance to reflash pure stock including recovery and reflash the bootloader. If that doesn't work I am sorry my friend, at this point in time it cannot be recovered.

It was displayed... then i flashed stock firmware and did other stuff (didn't get it to work). Now it is not displayed in fastboot. I do get a signal occasionally, so that's "good" i guess.
I'll buy a new one and use this one for testing and might try to fix it when somebody has come up with something. It's not that expensive afterall and I was actually planning on buying a 2. Gen or a 2014 version :3

HELP!!!!!! Locked bootloader after flashing a kernel and it doesn't want to boot

Hi guys
As you probably know by reading the title, i completely messed up. I was on the stock google factory image and decided to flash a custom kernel. I enabled usb debuging and oem unlock. after having unlocked the bootloader, I installed the twrp boot img and then flashed the kernel. All was well when i stupidly decided to lock my bootloader. Things crashed and now when i try to boot into my phone, the google logo appears and 1 seconds later crashes keeps doing it until i turn my phone off. My bootloader is locked and i think usb debuging and oem unlock are also disabled.
The same thing happens when i try to go to the recovery, it just crashes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. thank you !!

As you probably know by reading the title, i completely messed up. I was on the stock google factory image and decided to flash a custom kernel. I enabled usb debuging and oem unlock. after having unlocked the bootloader, I installed the twrp boot img and then flashed the kernel. All was well when i stupidly decided to lock my bootloader. Things crashed and now when i try to boot into my phone, the google logo appears and 1 seconds later crashes keeps doing it until i turn my phone off. My bootloader is locked and i think usb debuging and oem unlock are also disabled.
The same thing happens when i try to go to the recovery, it just crashes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. thank you !!

I feel bad for you. However, you bricked your Pixel.
As I mentioned yesterday, contact Google for an RMA replacement.

I don't believe so since you're not the original owner. However, it doesn't hurt to try.
If you bl locked the phone w modified software ur boned. I believe that RMA availability is transferrable from owner to owner, however, I also believe that they will refuse to RMA a phone which technically broke because AVB is doing its job properly. You can try but I'd say your chances are slim. Sorry mate. Also future reference: if you don't have any reason in particular to relock your phone, just don't. You'll save yourself the hassle of having to do it again and it wiping the phone everytime any software thing goes wrong or anytime u want to upgrade custom ROM or kernel or anything of the sort. This goes for any phone not just those with android verified boot.

Yes they will know but they have proprietary software to forcefully unlock/reformat the phone properly if they so choose to actually accept the phone

If you are flashing the latest version of Oreo you don't need to oem unlock. What version of Android were you running before you bricked it?

It won't work because his bootloader is locked. I also tried the OTA file and that didn't work either. Do to have usb debugging on ?

Question Hard brick

Hello good to all,
It turns out that I have the device with a hard brick and I can't find a solution to repair it, I've been looking for a similar thread, but nothing. It won't let me in, it's not fastboot, not in recovery or anything, and if I turn it on normally I get: The current image have been destroyed...
How I got to this situation, was after rooting the device with a tutorial here, which worked perfectly for me. It was later when I had the great idea of closing the bootloader with the rooted device, and since then it gives me this error.

And you want us to do what. You ruined your own device and now you have to live with it.

I don't want you to do anything, just let you know if there is any way to recover it, because on my own I can't find anything

Thanks mate, could you explain me a little how it works and how to get this program? I don't mind paying if it gets fixed.

1)Just go to service center , if phone is in warranty , they will just flash the device with STOCK ROM using msm tool (best )
2)however they might even replace motherboard for no reason but that will also fix the device (time taking)
3) last option is to use paid msm flashing services costs from 5to 10$ USD , you can find them by Google search (risky)
I had about the same problems, my GT Neo 2 does not load fastboot further. The cyclical startup process is repeated.
Stupidly, I understand now, I decided to wipe data in TWRP recovery
This is what it looks like - youtube
I tried to install custom recovery from this topic, all stages passed without problems, but at the end after rebooting fastboot loops
Have you solved this problem, if so, in what way?
udp
installing this method
but root I couldn't get here
I tried to unlock twrp using the magic installation, but the problem described above appeared
I think I have the same problem as others. Realme appears and restarts continuously. It does not go into fastboot because the boot loader is blocked. What can I do?
