XT890 Stuck on Red Logo. Probably damaged partitions.

Hi, yesterday I received XT890 from another user. Phone stuck on red Motorola logo, can enter fastboot and has locked bootloader.
Fastboot actions:
1. Normal Powerup - Freeze on Fastboot
2. Recovery - Freeze on Red Logo
3. Factory - Freeze on Red Logo
4. BP Tools - Freeze on Fastboot
5. Switch Console - Working
6. Power Off - Freeze on Fastboot
So first of all I tried to flash it by RSD with CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU but on 4/12 it can't reboot phone so I did it manually and it goes to 8/12 and phone shows E:failed to erase partition system.
I also tried to skip system by deleting it from xml but on every other step it can't do anything with partitions (data, cache, cdrom).
I tried fastboot to erase partitions manually but no luck with locked bootloader. So I tried to unlock it but it can't be done cause data can't be erased.
I even tried unbrick script for modified and it passed but no changes.
So what I tried:
1. Format Data/Cache - Can't enter Recovery
2. Flash RSD - Can't flash system partition
3. Unlock Bootloader - Can't format data partition
4. Unbrick - No changes after that
5. Fastboot flash CWM - only stock recovery can be flashed on locked bootloader
6. Fastboot erase data / system/ cache partitions - error
After that I'm assuming that emmc is damaged. If it's software damage it should be way to resurrect it.
Any help is welcome.
Sorry for my nasty English.

Ye, great chance that the emmc is damaged. But it still looks to me as if it is software damaged, not hardware, because of the successful flash of recovery. And it is on the same memory module.
Just as in the other post of this phone can u try this and give me the output of especially the flash of gpt.bin (partition table file). I never got an exact answer to it, for my liking, maybe i read over it.
If that doesn't flash (give me the output then i know for sure ), try flashing the boot.img and see what happens. I assume nothing will change from flashing the boot.img, but u gotta try something.
Next we can do is have a look at that intel flashing file, it looks promising. I never had to go to this part so i am out of general ideas (think outside the box maybe?). Maybe we can fiddle something from here. It looks to me like it can flash more than fastboot can, u just need the right files and some we can make, hopefully if i read the sources available to us right.

So it looks like only few partitions are broken but how to repair it without unlocking bootloader??

Hmm, it does flash a part of the system if I read it correct. After the first one it gives errors to all partitions after it.
Can u reboot to recovery now, we finally flashed it right. Didn't work last time.
The things I wanted to do with the Intel thingy, are already done with flashing motoboot. So the things I had there are done.

Nope, still red logo on recovery. The same was flashed by RSD and same errors appeared as on fastboot. Only different is after flashing RSD I can turn normal powerup and phone restarts to red logo from AP Fastboot but after flashing fastboot commands an error appeared.

Yep, this happens because it has nothing to start.
There is just 1 more think I can think off, because all others are closed (locked) or don't work. Or if unlocked we still don't have access.
Does the command "fastboot oem format" does something?
Verstuurd van mijn GT-P5110

Completely forgot about this command, I'll try it after work.

FAILED (remote: Restricted OEM command)

Then its over I think. We can't flash a custom recovery and fiddle around with it. Because maybe by not asking for system/data partition at start etc u can reformat the emmc with parted or other application.
Sorry, only Motorola can fix it. Or u need to replace the motherboard maybe? But that's something else.
Oh, try 1 more thing. Is it possible to load a custom boot image by the command "fastboot boot (image)"? Don't think so, but who knows. So u won't flash it.

Yup, the defy could do it if i remember correctly. Hoped that this one would either. I am out of ideas now, but will have one more look. Don't expect anything, because we already tried most if not all the things we can do.
Edit:
All other things i can think of need to have adb access, and that can only be done by having an unlocked bootloader or root access. Because with root access u can flash a recovery even when u have a locked bootloader most of the time. But we don't have access to the system as well as the partitions, so we are stuck.
That Intel thingy can only flash the bootloader and the bootloader wont repartition the emmc. But we can try anyway if u want. Its a little bit different then the unbrick methode, just a little.

Today I flashed Samsung C3595 with partition table from S5610 and it's working well so "different" methods are not scary for me.

Hi Chameleon.. i'm having a phone with similar issues (I created a post about it). I have tried steps one and two to no success. To unlock it do you do it via the official way (I ask because I don't know much, maybe there are other ways of doing it)

Yup, only official way.
Wysłane z Motorola RAZR i

here is the thing i talked about. Its just one more command with the unbrick method. But if u never try, u never know.
I assume u have all the files for the unbrick method still installed and on your PC. So u have the xFSTK driver and xfstk-dldr-solo.exe on your drive and working.
In the unbrick folder where the dnx and ifwi files are add the latest files from your latest firmware (dnx, ifwi and motoboot!).
Download the unbrick3.txt and rename to unbrick3.bat inside the folder with the original unbrick.bat
Now open a cmd shell inside the folder where the batch file is located. And then run unbrick3.bat.
After this try rsd lite again with the latest firmware u used.
Most likely it will not work... but ye, u gotta try.
I got this from an acer/asus device. It is the official unbrick methode from that device.

hey guys, i ve got the same problem. the phone stucks on the red M logo. i'm not familiar "aka" noob with this things. I wonder if anyone can give me a help?
I tried to wipe data and participation. the phone completes this commands but again stucks on the red logo.

Luckily, u don't have the same problem. U only have to search for a rsd lite flash guide. Flash your latest firmware that is available for your phone and country/brand. And all will most likely be good.

XT890 Stuck on Red Logo. Probably damaged partitions
I woke up this morning to find that my Motorola XT890 is not working. I followed all the procedures for hard rest got the same result as listed below.
1. Normal Powerup - Freeze on Fastboot
2. Recovery - Freeze on Red Logo
3. Factory - Freeze on Red Logo
4. BP Tools - Freeze on Fastboot
5. Switch Console - Working
6. Power Off - Freeze on Fastboot
Contacted Motorola customer service, followed all the procedures as prescribed by Motorola customer service still stuck at Red Logo. Motorola has requested that I send it in for repair. The phone is 11 months old and under warranty. The unfortunate thing is that this is the second time I am sending the phone to Motorola for repair.

[Q][SOLVED] Can't get root back (4.4.4)

I was on 4.4.2, rooted. I did a factory reset, flashed stock 4.4.2 (system, recovery, and boot), then got the 4.4.4 OTA.

The issue is that you have to IMMEDIATELY reboot into custom recovery. Do this (from bootloader screen):
fastboot flash recovery twrp_file_name.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now VOL DOWN to recovery, and VOL UP to select it.
If you don't do it this way, TWRP doesn't 'stick'. As long as you successfully boot into TWRP, click exit and it will offer to root for you.

Installing TWRP on bricked, but not rooted Sprint M7?

After not messing with my wife's M7 for quite some time, I am back for another go at it. She managed to mess up her LG G3, so recovering the M7 is now back on the table. My goal has been to try to recover the data on the phone, so I have not tried a factory reset. Deleting the cache partition in the recovery menu also proved futile.
I have HBOOT 1.57, and a looked bootloader. I have ADB and Fastboot on my PC, and can get the phone into FASTBOOT USB, but my attempts to copy over TWRP 2.7.0.1 haven't worked.

I hate to be the one, but you are wildly grasping for a false hope. You need unlocked bootloader in order to flash custom recovery

That is actually a pretty big relief at this point. I was more mad that I was doing something wrong than I was about recovering the phone. Thanks! I should have asked the question hours earlier so I didn't waste all that time. I picked up some new understanding though, so all was not lost.

Factory Reset seems to have failed!
Mine shows:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Backup Data Preload
Backup CW Package
Restore Data Preload
Restore CW Package
Formatting /cache
Data Wipe Complete.
Write host_mode:0 done
Then it gives me the same system recovery menu. Rebooting just put it right back into the same loop.

I think my userdata.img is broken but I don't know how to fix it. I even tried to flash using MiFlash but I wasn't able to flash because of my current partition. I can access fastboot, recovery, adb, and OTG. Can someone please help me with this problem. I've been trying to search for a fix for this problem for a looooong time.

$ fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.4.0.0-v1-figo-haky86.img
> Sending 'recovery' (10734 KB) OKAY [ 0.382s]
> Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'partition length get error')
> fastboot: error: Command failed
device is properly connected, I also doublechecked that bootloader is still unlocked after upgrade from emui 8 to 9.1 (Build is 9.1.0.216(C432E22R1P5))
Can we merge this topic with the following, so there is no parallel discussion in two different topics within the forum?! ;-)

switch recovery with recovery_ramdisk

twrp installation succeded with _ramdisk, thanks for the fast reply!
I followed then instructions from official lineage 16 wiki (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/figo/install) to install lineageOS 16. Sideload of the actual zip (lineage-16.0-20210115-nightly-figo-signed) in twrp also worked perfectly and I eagerly tipped on "reboot" in twrp hoping to see my new OS booting for the the first time... BUT:
Unfortunately I got stuck at a probably similar point as Capybar (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...k-recovery-and-cant-boot-into-system.4126357/):
Phone stopped being able to enter any recovery at all. The system itself does not boot. The HUawei start screen "Your device has been unlocked and cannot be trustet (...) only tells me (...) "Your device is booting now...", the recovery option never appears (previously in the start screen with 'unlocked device' warning it used to suggest pressing volume UP to enter recovery, now it only shows "Your device is booting now").
Then it shows me the Teamwin Logo and at that point freezes.
I cannot acces the phone with adb oder fastboot from host machine..
=> Does anybody knows if there is a possibility to gain acces to recovery?

if stuck on Huawei splash screen, just run factory reset with stock recovery.
to boot into recovery on this crap;
* Keep pressing on vol up + vol down + power.
* Leave vol down button only and keep pressing other 2 buttons once huawei splash screen appears .
* you should able to boot into recovery.

thnx again haky !!!
Nevertheless feeling stupid now (or rather like my mum when I first modified our home-PC autoexec.bat on a 386DX machine in MS DOS to make the PC wish her a good morning on the VGA display) .Back to topic:
I managed to get the the phone start in recovery boot mode asking me
(1) Press Power key to continue
(2) Press Volume Uo key (...) to enter erecovery to restore aour device
(3) Vour device will continue to booot (...)
=> all options result in the same(?) everlasting bootloop
so I succesfully tried fastboot boot mode (error 64 message on screen) and flashed your stock recovery:
$ fastboot devices -l
> XEDDU*********** fastboot usb:2-2
$ fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk 9.1_stock_rec.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (32768 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.156s]
writing 'recovery_ramdisk'...
OKAY [ 0.269s]
finished. total time: 1.425s
Rebooting phone again leads to bootloop
Edit: Not the very same bootloop since twrp-logo does not appear anymore but phone message is "Your device is booting now ... " and that's it
Got some ideas?
Edit#2 [SOLVED]: put fastboot option -w into command for flashing stock recovery => phone resurrected to stock software (at least)

Thanks for the update!
Im was stuck in the same situation. If you succeed in flashing LineageOS I would love to hear how.
Good luck!

without a phone I can't do a sh*t, try this recovery (3.5.0) and tell me if boots or not.

While flashing it I get the following log:
.\fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk .\recovery.img -w

I can boot into the recovery. My issue is, when I use wipe -> format data, it formats, says "done", but dosn't give me an option to proceed or go back. So I'm stuck there. After a hard reset I tried to boot into recovery again, but it gets stuck on the teamwin screen.
After flashing it again with the -w option, it works again.
An other issue I have is, when I try to wipe eg. cache, it works, but while trying to update the partition details, it "failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)". The same happens, when I install something.

1) @haky 86 : I can also boot into the (3.5.0) recovery
EDIT (fyi): could boot into that recovery, but after installation of stock rom (and likewise in official linage rom) my SIM Card was not detected.
Using "old" stock recovery [9.1_stock_rec.img] and SIM Card works fine. Still that Wifi-Password-Problem...

2) @Zet24 : this looks rather to a twrp 3.4.0.0 error (?) because previously I got the same which finally ended in stucked teamwin screen and bootloop (see above)
3) @Zet24 : I managed to flash and boot into official figo lineage 16 ROM (lineage-16.0-20210122-nightly-figo-signed) by copying the zip file on sd card and install it directly in twrp (install >> from zip file) -- actually I don't know why sideload method doesn't work..
Unfortunately I couldn't not connect to wifi (see discussion in main topic Forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...for-huawei-p-smart-2018.3975303/post-83896865) even after wiping data and cache with stock recovery, but that is for another time/topic

I posted a tutorial on how to flash Lineage OS on this phone on the other Thread... the Lineage OS thread.

Hi, How did you manage to unlock bootloader?
