[Q] Soft brick help... - Moto X Q&A

I went to flash a new rom and everytime i try to do the set up wizard it force closes when i hit the arrow from the language. I try to reboot into recovery but it either boots to the bootloader and i tried recovery from there and I get nothing or the device just reboots itself.
What can i do to fox this?

I will give you some advice when starting into this ROM scene. What I learned along time ago was always know how to FXZ back to factory with your phone. We have all been where you are and as long as you can get to bootloader there is a way out. So I would fxz back to stock if I were you.

Try this:
First, unplug the USB from the phone. Now, turn the phone off.
Next, Hold the VOL DOWN button, and turn the phone back on. You should boot into bootloader mode. The screen should say "AP Fastboot Mode".
NOW, plug the USB cord into your computer. It will probably "search for drivers" and then recognize the phone.
Let us know if this helps...

OK, are you able to use fastboot commands at all? You must have flashed custom recovery at some point if you are able to "flash roms"...
There are some reports where people for whatever reason were unable to use RSD Lite, but the manual restore method worked fine for them.
Assuming that you are able to use fastboot, follow the instructions in this thread (Under MANUAL METHOD):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
Also, if you need help with the manual commands, let us know what your carrier/model is.

Face palm man. You need an unlocked bootloader for that rom says so in the info so you clearly didn't follow directions like you said to such as using cwm not safestrap. This is why we must read before acting hastily. You may be able to use rsd to flash stock but don't count on it.

i actually have the same problem. My phone is unlocked before already, but the problem is i cant get in to any bootloader or fastboot or anything. I can only tell the phone is on when i plug to computer and rsdlite sees the device, but fails to flash anything because it is not in the fastboot mode...
do you know how i can figure this out?

Yeah i unlocked the bootloader before. so it seems like useless for my case. Plus i cant even boot into fastboot mode, how am i gonna install it lol
And as I said before; the problem is i cant get in to any bootloader or fastboot or anything. I can only tell the phone is on when i plug to computer and rsdlite sees the device, but fails to flash anything because it is not in the fastboot mode.
I tried both methods but they both fail where the phone need to be in fastboot mode, which is apparently not happening...

Damn, seems like those are the only two methods that could work.
The good thing is that you can't re-lock the bootloader.
You might want to send a PM to skeevy to see if he can help.
Is there any warranty left on your phone? I've seen posts where people were able to go back to AT&T to exchange the phone or send it in for repair.

How have you tried to get into fastboot? Try turning your phone off, hold both volume buttons and press the power button a few times then use volume down to scroll to "ap fastboot" and use volume up to select.

When you plug in the phone to charge do you see at least the boot logo?
may need to connect pins 1 & 4 together in micro usb charger port to phone within the plug itself and it will charge.

I feel like it's causing more problems than it's solving with new people that try to flash their phones, they see light at the end of the tunnel and assume it's the exit, when in fact it's a dadgum train.

I research on that i guess fasboot cable is connecting the pins 1 & 4 together in micro usb cable. I tried that too, however result is the same.
doesnt work.
That was my last hope (fastboot cable), so i even try other combinations connecting different pins together, but it didnt work too )))
I have a beautiful brick as you guys can understand.
I am thinking to order a broken lcd atrix hd online and replace the boards right now. Do you guys think it is logical?
or like replacing the storage with a used one.
I dont know what else to do, out of ideas
I am aware I haven't replied in a while, my atrix had a hardware issue, but I got a nexus 10!! Anyways, when plugging the phone in does the LED light up green?

Hm sounds like a hardware issue, check the pins in the phones micro USB port if other cables don't make a the LED turn green while the phone is off.

i've been in same situation
do this
start phone normal (you'll be in fastboot mode)
use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595
you already used this , but now go to download page and download all of this
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware/11A_Partitions
and use this command for all
fastboot flash laf laf.img
in case of other files will be , for sample "fastboot flash boot boot.bin" or fastboot flash aboot aboot.img
now you'll have working download mode
after that use 11_a tot method
or you can download 12B partitions , it doesn't really matters (i think)
Still can find the solution

[Q] Flash back to Stock

Hi guys, I'll just start things off with saying that I am far from being anywhere near as technologically advanced as the majority of you so I would like your help if possible.
I had wanted to flash back to Stock and unroot my Moto X but for some reason I had gone into TWRP and decided to delete everything. Now every time I try to reboot from TWRP, it'll just say that the phone does not have an OS Installed and therefore if I reboot it, it will just stay on the 'Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen.
I've read quite a few threads on various forums but I am unable to get my laptop to recognise the device in fastboot. That's my only problem so far as I've downloaded the Motorola Device Manager and all those other things but still cannot get my laptop to show the device for me to put the files into. When I plug it in, I am able to hear the sound and the device recognizes that it's been plugged in but I can't see it on my laptop.
Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys and forgive my ignorance.

I've tried following the steps but I was unsure of step 3 where it says to download and install the proper firmware for the device but still unsure on how to install it. RSD Lite won't pick up the device nor will it show up when I type 'adb devices' in CMD. And finally, how do I go about turning on USB debugging when it won't boot up past the bootloader unlock screen?

Turn the phone off. Unplug it. Hold down VOL DOWN, and press power. The phone will boot into the bootloader. This is how you flash with rsd lite.
Adb does not work in bootloader, and isn't used for this. Once in bootloader (ap fastboot mode), rsd lite should recognize the device.
Make absolutely sure you do not downgrade to a previous version (you will brick), and make sure you flash the correct firmware for YOUR device/carrier.
You can only flash the same version or higher than what you were on before you erased everything.

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately RSD Lite doesn't recognise the device in bootloader. Am I supposed to put the files into a certain place for things to start working properly and is it also because I'm using windows 8.1? I've already installed the Motorola Device Manager as well.

You said you downloaded moto device manager... Did you install it? If so you are one of the unlucky ones and will have to use the manual method with fastboot and mfastboot. Take it slow and follow the instructions. Leave out the config carrier line.
To make sure fastboot is working, type fastboot devices while in bootloader mode.

Yes perfect.
Run one command at a time - copy/paste them.
Remember to use mfastboot for system.img - regular fastboot will NOT work. Also remember to skip the config carrier command.

You my friend are a legend. Last round (hopefully) of questions though: where the code says to type in fastboot flash .... .gpt.bin and all those other things, am I supposed to put the files somewhere in particular? Because just regularly typing them into CMD comes up with (bootloader) Variable not supported! Then error: cannot open 'gtp.bin' or cannot open 'recovery.img' and so on but on the phone it says getvar partition-type:recovery or boot and so on.
Also the when the instructions say to use mfastboot, CMD says that it is not recognized as an internal or external command. Thanks!

First: yes, you have to put those files in the same folder as you are running the commands from. If your command prompt shows C:\users\jimmy\
Then that is where the files should be! You should have extracted the zip file you downloaded to the same folder you are running the commands from.
Second, you obviously have not download mfastboot.exe (it is linked in the return to stock thread) OR you didn't put it in the same folder as the rest of the files.
The "variable not supported" messages are normal. The error cannot open.... errors are NOT.
I'm attaching mfastboot.exe (it's zipped - extract it to the same folder as everything else) to this post so you don't have to go looking for it.
DON'T move on if the first command doesn't work. Make sure each one gives success before you move on.
Awesome!

You're welcome....but that isn't normal. I suggest doing it again from the beginning. A full SBF to stock re-writes all the partitions and there shouldn't be anything "out of wack". Sounds like something went wrong....OR your device has physical damage?
Anyways, please consider hitting the "THANKS" button under any and all posts that help you. :good:

[Q] bricked? wiped out?

my xt 1032 moto g is not working. it stays on unlocked bootloader warning. worked great after rooting it, but I think I erased everything off it. I cannot do any factory resets, nor can i manage to push a rom to it. I can access it using adb, but I always end up with some kind of error, likely on my noob behalf.
Can someone please help me with this, I tried to push a rom but it said stat cannot access file, or something like that. I think i need help most with the correct steps on doing this, already unlocked bootloader and rooted. adb only recognizes my device when in recovery mode.
Keep pressing volume down + power until your phone turns off and then quickly repeat. Now you should be in fastboot mode. Find your stock firmware and flash it.

[Pro Help Needed with restoring phone to factory settings]

Purchased used moto g6 (xt1925-6) US unlocked version (that's what the rom says).
I'm a total noob with roms and recovery and so on. I'm hoping someone will tell me the steps briefly and I'll try to look up the detailed steps and try to restore the phone to factory settings.
Here is the situation at hand:
-Phone has twrp recovery (I need to restore the factory recovery. Weird thing is can't seem to find the file to download).
-Has bootloader unlocked (I would prefer to relock it). Not rooted.
-Rom says its the unlocked version (don't know if the phone was actually a different version or not). It receives notification and downloads ota updates but can't install updates.
-Phone was purchased used and it was a hobby fixer project for me. Now I would like to sort out the android end and get rid of it as long as its in perfect condition.
Thanks for helping out with the steps to achieve factory settings. Also, if there is a chance that the phone might have been a different version and it has flashed unlocked rom or something, what would it mean? Can it be restored to factory settings of the unlocked version? Are there any catches to it?
EDIT: I think I have mistakenly used the phrase recovery. The issue in that respect is twrp and I need to remove it and restore default mode so that its back to factory settings.

Get the stock firmware from here and flash all of the partitions with either fastboot (commands are in the XML) or use RSDlite. Easy peasy
---------- Post added at 02:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 AM ----------
Get RSDlite 6.2.4 from here
Or rsd light XML to batch to make a .bat file for fastboot.
If your using RSDlite and wiping data, select flashfile, if keeping data use servicefile.

Hey man, thanks for the quick steps. Feels like it'll take days to decipher the steps. But I'm on it.

It really doesn't.
Install RSDlite on your PC.
Download the full firmware package.
Put phone in fastboot mode. Plug into PC. Open RSDlite.
Navigate to the firmware package.
RSDlite will extract it and everything.
RSDlite will ask either flashfile or servicefile
Flashfile wipes data, servicefile does not
Install (flash) package.
Done
Root if you want. Instructions are in the forum
Good luck!

Again, appreciate the help a lot.
So I just tried it out and rsd lite doesn't see the device. Phone has debugging enabled. I browsed around for solutions and followed some common steps. I checked with minimal adb fastboot command 'fastboot devices" and the phone's serial number pops up. Phone is detected by pc (win10) device manager when on fastboot mode. I have installed motorola device manager as well. But so far rsd lite doesn't see the device. Any ideas?

Not sure on that. Did you get the RSDlite that I linked to? Some versions dont recognize device with Windows 10. But the version I linked works for me. In RSDlite, the imei shows n/a but it does show a fastboot device connected.
You have the phone in fastboot mode when connecting?
On that same page I linked, there is an XML to batch program as well. You can turn the XML file from the firmware package into a .bat file. Then you just have to run the .bat file and will run all of the fastboot commands for you (which is what RSDlite does with the XML file)
May be an option if you can't get RSDlite to recognize, but fastboot does.

Yes the same version. I have it on fastboot when connecting (also tried normal bootup and pc recognizes phone just fine). Good to know there is the bat file option for last resort. I'll try installing android sdk and may be it'll solve this driver issue. So I'll have to ask you for the steps to make the the bat file and how to make it work.
You could have also tried Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant. I've used it and it works pretty well.

What does it do and how do you use it?

It has a Rescue function that returns the phone to stock firmware.
Here's the link if you want to try it:
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101291
It's fairly intuitive.

Hey man, its very intuitive. It worked in first try and phone is back to stock with stock recovery. Only issue I have is bootloader is unlocked. Should I use minimal adb fastboot to perform a relock command? Are there any other steps to it or just the command?

You should be able to run "fastboot oem lock" to re-lock the bootloader.
You may get an error message though; something like "flash signed images" or something like that. Let me know if that happens.

I'm getting a warning message that it erases all user data and instructing to rerun command to continue. Should I proceed?
