Hello,
I think my XT1541 (16GB/2GB Retail GB) with locked bootloader might be hard-bricked.
I was running the stock 5.11 firmware when I did the 6.0 update and since then my phone is stuck in a bootloop.
Motorola won't repair it because I had to replace the screen and the phone is out of warranty.
I can access the bootloader but if I select recovery mode the phone just keeps bootlooping and I can't get into recovery.
I followed the instructions here to flash a stock firmware using fastboot. All the steps complete successfully but after rebooting, the phone is still stuck in a bootloop and I can't get into recovery.
I wanted to install a custom recovery but I'm unable to unlock my bootloader because of this error:
Code:
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote failure)
Obviously I can't check that option as the phone won't boot.
So, is it hard bricked? Is there anything I can do to get my phone to work again?
Thanks a lot for your help!
How many system images do you need to flash? Sometimes there can be more than 6, sometimes there can be fewer.

I know, I flashed the correct number of system images that were in the zip file.

If u are bootlooping when trying to enter recovery , then prolly the recovery is the issue. I'd suggest flash the recovery.IMG again and then proceed with flashing the rest of the .IMG files.

So basically:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
and then check if I can access recovery? Or issue that command and then all the other fastboot commands in the guide?

I tried that and it didn't work. When I try to go into recovery mode the phone keeps bootlooping.
One thing I noticed is that when I try to format cache or userdata I get this error:
Code:
$ fastboot format cache
formatting 'cache' partition...
Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'.
FAILED ()
finished. total time: 0.013s
I think there might be something wrong with the file system in my partitions. How can I manually format my partitions?
Thanks,
man , if you really need recovery, type fastboot boot recovery.img . It will temporaily boot you into stock recovery. Wipe cache and data there

Thanks, but this is what I get when I try do do that:

OKAY [ 0.736s]

There must be a way to restore this phone to a working state! I can't believe it's so messed up after an official update...

I was running 5.1.1 when I got the notification for the 6.0 update.
I've noticed that trying to flash 5.1.1 firmware with fastboot gives me errors (preflash validation failed) while the 6.0 work "fine" (i.e.: I get OKAY after every step but then the phone is always stuck in a bootloop).
Thanks!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE BOOTLOADER.IMG OR GPT.IMG !!!!!!! DONT FLASH LOLLIPOP VERSION OF THOSE FILES ON A DEVICE RUNNING 6.0
plz tell me u didnt flash those files..

Well I wasn't sure what version I was running to be honest so I think I tried to flash the gpt.img from 5.1.1 at some point but it failed with the preflash validation failure. I've always only flashed the 6.0 firmware files.

Yes, no luck unfortunately.
I think I might have flashed the 5.1.1 bootloader after all - is there any way to recover from there?
Thanks,
Bump!
Does anyone have any other suggestion please?
Thanks,
Last bump
I'm going to sell this on eBay as non-working then unless someone comes up with a clever solution?
Thanks for your help!
Try flashing once more starting with the gpt.bin (that should hopefully take care of raw partition error) and skipping the bootloader altogether. Also, may be worthwhile to try mfastboot.exe instead of fastboot.exe.
I have this same issue, but I haven't flash 5.1.1 Files, I Only tried with 6.0 Brazil Retail.
I also tried to flash gpt to get rid of the "raw" partition, everything goes ok but still displaying that error. Anyone can help?
I got the same problem with my Moto E 2015... If I find a solution I will reply it in this topic..

No.....but I partially solved the problem by flashing IMG trough fast boot...I downloaded the following :
...I just wanted to put the link ...but it seems not allowed in the forum
then I flashed them by these orders:
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
It worked out but still I cant find any ZIP files in TWRP to root my phone....I think I need to flash decrypted boot image to enable TWRP to recognize these ZIP files.
Anyway ....Thank you all for help
Format via TWRP in itself will decrypt the storage and decrypt image will hold it future proof
I was using cm13 sprout 4 and twrp recovery. Was getting error unfortunately ---- apps stopped again again from different apps.
So simply thought of wiping cache and dalvik from twrp . It gave error e: can't mount /cache. So thought of formattig data but by mistake instead of factory reset, i formatted my android. Now i have no os installed just a twrp and unlocked bootloader with me.
now it gives error also E: can't mount/ system also.
pls help, i have only this night to fix it , tight schedule ahead

today i tried these commands in fastboot :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
all commands finished successfully but strangely their no change in my device.
then i tried flashing cwm recovery
fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
but when i boot in recovery it was twrp only.
so i think the flash command from fastboot is not working.
pls help...
Now i managed to get my friends pc and flashed stock rom using sp flash tool , everything went smoothly without any error but strangely nothing happened in device. It remains same without any os . Is my device completely damaged?? :'(

Got a solution!
This is kind of late but I hope this helps other people who have the same issue and are viewing this thread!
Take the battery out of your phone and connect it to your computer. Use SP flash tools and flash the stock rom, using the option, "Format All + Download"
You may have to press a button or button combination to get SPFT to recognize your phone. My phone's volume rockers don't work so I cant help you with that, it was pure luck for me!
Once you let it flash, let the phone boot. It will take some time, longer than usual but it WILL boot. And the bootloader will be locked, so be prepared to start tinkering from scratch!
Hello,
I was facing a lot of issues with my YUPHORIA. So, I tried to flash it using the official instructions on official forum using Fastboot.
The flashing got stuck when it was trying to flash the "system" partition. I disconnected the cable and tried the flashing process again.
Now, I am able to flash everything else except "system"
It is giving an error -
"FAILED (remote: flash write failure)"
ADB is not detecting my phone.
QFIL is also showing "No Ports Found"
However, Fastboot is working fine.
I donot have TWRP on my phone as of now.
Please help !
I am having exact same problem. Were you able to find solution for it?
Same issue here
Did you get the final solution?
I cant not flash system.img to my softbricked Yu Yuphoria 5110 even with the latest version of adb and fastboot and even with the -S option! Nothing works! Can't flash only system.img, other images are getting flashed. Pl help!
My Honor View10 is stuck at 'Your device is booting now', cannot enter recovery. I tried rectifying my twrp that couldn't unmount anything and wiped up almost everything, but ended up with a boot loop.
Now my device is stuck at 'Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device is booting now' screen. I tried using the dload method to restore everything back but the device won't go past this screen.
I tried flashing it using fastboot mode by flashing system, ramdisk and what not, did get a success every time, still, the device won't go past this.
I need genuine help on this, please. Anyone? @2WildFirE? @Einwod? @shashank1320 @oreopie
All this perhaps happened because I tried changing the file system of data and system from twrp.

Why you tried changing filesystem on data?
Twrp isn't ready for pie ? atm
Flash stock recovery and erecovery, then boot to erecovery and restore from there

Because custom recovery wouldn't mount anything.
Had no idea that twrp isn't ready for pie.
For both stock and ereccovery, do I use ramdisk_recovery command?

How exactly would one go about this?
fastboot flash erecovery_ramdisk ERECOVERY_RAMDI.img for example only results in FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed').
Bootloader is unlocked.
If I'm right, try fastboot flash erecovery erecovery.img

Sadly there is no erecovery.img and if i try to flash either of the many erecovery files into what i assume would be their respective partitions i get the same error.
Which i thought was a good sign because that might have meant that i couldn't have ****ed them up. But maybe it isn't.
OK try erecovery ramdisk and erecovery kernel to flash
PHP:
fastboot flash erecovery_kernel ERECOVERY_kerne.img
Sending 'erecovery_kernel' (24576 KB) OKAY [ 0.587s]
Writing 'erecovery_kernel' FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed')
Finished. Total time: 0.614s
for example, the result is always the same.

UPDATE: When I reboot the smartphone it displays "Data partition was damaged seriously! and you are recommended to format it to recover your phone".
Smartphone works, but even after a factory reset it still displays that message when it boots up it gets stuck at 'Booting up'.
What can I do @2WildFirE?

Because this is not the right command to give. I am not sure what the right command would be though.
Okay, so I have recovered my phone after spending a sleepless night working on it.
Tried several combinations to see this resolved.
But, what really worked out for me was that I discharged my device twice and kept trying flashing stock rom and several relative recoveries.
After flashing stock recovery I discharged my device. Once it came back, it took me to erecovery.
From there, I started downloading the file from the recovery and did a reboot after the installation.
My Honor is working fine now.

Flashed the 9.0 full ota files several times, flashed full otas of 8.0. Flashed a random recovery from an older ota. I then discharged my device as I was totally out of options. When I put it on charge it turned back on and after few minutes took me to erecovery.
And now I cannot root my device as twrp isn't there for pie yet. Honor sucks.
