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!

okey I will try it right now, thaanks

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.

I have only tested this on a UK Retail Moto G with an unlocked bootloader, however as these are the original stock signed image files from Motorola it should work on all devices.

After flashing OpenKirin, and not being satisfied, all i did was following the steps to restore
the phone back to stock, flashed original recovery, locked the bootloader, but after all was
done and it was time to reboot, all i got was the blue honor screen, and nothing worked.

Do this now:
Boot to fastboot and unlock bootloader
Then flash TWRP latest version
Then flash the B380/381 firmware zip files with the hw zip file before the update.zip
It should now boot properly and you can relock bootloader after that if you want to.

Just shut down your phone then while holding the volume down button connect the cable to your phone. If it still doesn't work try changing cables. You surely can enter fastboot mode regardless of what you have done.

Now I come so far that the bootloader is unlocked again and twrp installed.
But I can't find B380 zip files, but maybe i'm blind or have bad google skills after having problems

You can install a custom ROM for the moment so you can use your phone. I'll search for it later I'm just a bit busy right now.

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 !!

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

Bypass Lockscreen

My friend uses Honor 6X. He is on stock Nougat ROM. He is no more now. Is there a way to bypass his phone's Lockscreen without losing data so we could get to know some details we need?
*And his phone's bootloader is Locked.
*No way to enable developer options.
*Can i boot into fastboot mode and using adb commands can i boot via TWRP temporarily?

Since the bootloader is locked, the only thing he can do is factory reset.
Don't forget to remember which Google account he used, as it will be required after the factory reset

Bricked P20 EML-L29 after failed Custom Rom install

Hello,
Its been a few months since i stupildly bricked my Huawei P20 when installing a Custom Rom. I managed to unlock the Bootloader and flash TWRP. But during the process of flashing the Rom the phone randomly restarted. Ever since then its been stuck on the booting screen as seen on the pictures.
What works is Fastboot, pretty much everything else is shot. I also didnt make a Firmware Backup, or i lost it.
Does anyone here have the ability to help me unbrick this thing, or have a C432 firmware for the EML-L29?
Thanks in advance!
