How to repair my bricked moto x xt 1052
Hi everybody...
Im new here.
I hope someone resolve it.
My moto x xt 1052 is bricked, means it is not powerup normally, no any screen displayed, no boot image, boot animation, but goes into fastboot mode sometimes on trying to go in it using hardware key pressing i.e. Power and volume down keys.
Here is the brief description what was happened......
My moto was on stock kitkat 4.4.4 for upgrading it to lollipop On 19th jan i was tried to flash cm12 over cm11 nightly as described in that thread , for that i was unlocked my bootloader, rooted it, flashed CWM touch recovery, flashed superSu zip file and flashed cm12 nightly over cm11 as described. But my device was stucked at boot logo. For resolving that issue i was flashed boot.img of prev nightly release(i.e. 1/15) through command promp using commands '' cd Downloads... cd fastboot... fastboot flash boot boot.img.
It flashesh image file successfully and device is booted successfully. I was used it till last 4days and regularly updated cm12 nightly via cmupdater.
But 4days back i was tried to remove warning message of device is ulocked bootloaded which was irritated me using same flash method and logo.bin files which was given in another thread by other members. But my BOOTLOADER IS DAMAGED and no any display was seen. I read many threads to repair it but no anyone give easy step by step guide. I was tried to repair it using motoflasher given in 1 thred. But as shown there no my device was not shown in device manager asQUSB****9** THERE is only adb interface in device manager. Also it says in motoflasher that no device was connected and output was incorrect COM port, which was refused to flash bootloader. Another thred of rescurrection of bootloader is not so easy and also download links are not useful,shows item was removed.
There is no another way, i thought bootloader is a kernel, so i was flashed zwiel kernel by same flashing method by cmd.
The problem remaims same, moto care told thay it will cost 6k for repairong which is too high. The descreltion is given in details for anyone who finds my mistakes and tell me angd give me suggestion. Xda is big deveopers forum, i know someone will help me.. So plzzz help me.
HOW CAN I REPAIR MY BOOTLOADER AND SAVE MY MOTO which will not useful then usable as a paperweight.

Have you tried to simply re flash your stock 4.4.4 firmware via fastboot since you say you can get into fastboot mode? Or rsd your 4.4.4 firmware. If you can get into fastboot mode I think you should be able to fastboot your stock 4.4.4 and be back up and running.
When in fastboot mode and phone plugged in and you type "fastboot devices" does it display a string of numbers for your device? If yes then you are good to go.

I am having a similar issue with a Sprint Moto X (1st Gen). I am able to get to fastboot mode and I have flashed the stock image for 4.4.4 using mfastboot (also re-did it using RSD lite as the boot.img gave errors using mfastboot) but the phone only still boots to a dark screen and vibrates roughly every 15 seconds.
Anyone have an idea on what else I can try? I've been scouring the boards and youtube, but haven't really come across anything on this type of issue.

Has been RDS flashing process totally completed without any errors?

The flash finishes with no errors when it goes to reboot the phone I end up at the same spot of a black screen that vibrates like its powering on then repeats every 15 seconds like its stick in a loop. Odd... I never get the smallest hint to a picture on the screen.

Your symptom I'm quoting is what I've seen when a bad logo.bin has been flashed to the phone.
Can you try another? Some are in http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/collection-moto-boot-services-t2885395

Thanks for the suggestion.
I tried a dew different logos but the end result is still the same. Vibrates on power up, no display at all and repeats until I hold the volume down and count to like 10 when the next buzz cycle would happen so I can get into fastboot mode again. I should note that I can't see anything in this screen as well. I was starting to wonder if it was the screen that was the issue but the bootloop has me thinking otherwise.
I have another one with a bad screen and a replacement is on the way. I guess I can test it on this one as well but I'm sure the result will be the same.
I took a gamble on this one thinking I could bring i back to life, I figured the last owner just soft bricked it and flashing the latest stock would override what mess they did. I'll tinker around some more if there are some other options otherwise I can just flip it for parts i guess.
If I run the fastboot getvar all I get all the phone info so it gives me hope that something can be done, I just don't know what, it seems like I keep cycling through the same few processes hoping for a different result. I even tried the power + Volume down for two minutes thing that's supposed to bring up the "other" recovery menu, but with no display, i don't know what happening.
In a last ditch effort I did a tear down and connection check for all the parts so everything has been removed and firmly re-attached, certainly was nice to do that there instead of on the one I know will work once I replace the screen, but it sucks to still come up empty handed. Sorry for the long rant, it's just been a long few days of trying to find ways to bring this phone back to life.

Solved with downgrading
Sorry for bad english.
I had same issue.
But solved prev saturday hole day.
Using manual method instead of rsd.
Make sure u properly installed adb and mfastboot. For that open cmd and type adb. It shows command lines and then mfastboot. It also shows command lines then you are ready to go. If not, google it for how to install adb and also for mFastboot
Then download proper stock firmware for ur device. unzip it, u will get files of system, boot etc. Copy all this files and paste into mfastboot folder. Open command prompt in that folder by pressing shift and right key of mouse.
Then boot your moto into fastboot mode by pressing power and volume down key for a seconds. If u will not get in to fastboot mode try for many times unless u get it. I will get it after trying half hour.
Connect ur device to pc and run commans given in the following link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
End with-- fastboot adb reboot. It will reboot ur device.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the steps, I feel like I have done that already save for the few end steps with the oem commands.
So I flashed the print image using that guide and it still vibrates every 15 seconds and no display. I grabbed the retail file from the motorola site (oddly enough they only have TMO on the file name for some reason) and I flash this and it doesn't vibrate every 15 seconds, but still no display... Maybe in the end the display is bad after all...
Like mentioned before, I already have one coming in black for the one that works for sure...so I guess I'll test it on this one as well. Just wish it was as easy to disconnect/connect as my Nokia Lumia was, that took less than 10 minutes!

So, in the end it was the display afterall. I ended up getting another replacement screen as I really did not feel like attaching it and detaching it (yeah, I'm lazy sometimes). After setting up the new screen I plugged it in to charger and what do you know, battery at 0% then the motorola bootloader unlock screen after 5 or so minutes.
Now I have two phones, lol. One screen came without the speaker on the to fro some reason... And I think I just messed up my main phone removing the frame to add in that piece so lint and such doesn't get into the phone so easily... Dang it!
Edit - Yep, now it has a nice rainbow line display across the bottom where the navigate soft button would be... Guess I have to get one more screen!

could you please help me??

Go to the General Forum there's a dedicated thread with official roms for your particular model. Use download the ROM and flash through rsdlite. Always make a backup since it will wipe your internal storage clean.

If you installed 5.1 by using one of the TWRP backups, and did NOT flash the leaked OTA zip files, then you should have only touched /system and /boot partitions.. in that case, it would be safe to flash 4.4.4.

thank u so muchh......

I have a moto x of my friend xt1053, dont not what he has done with it.
but
it is in Encryption Unsuccessful Condition.
When I connect to pc. Windows show that motorola xt1053 is connected. device manager shows MTP device under portable devices.
Mototrola USB drivers have been installed successfully.
I can not boot xt1053 into fastboot mode or recovery. Neither by adb/fastboot nor by buttons. (volume down + Power).
adb devices command does not show any numbers as it normally does when device is connected.
how get it back to working condition. any expert to help or happen to be in the same boat?

[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.

Using SP Flash tool. Download the stock rom and u can. There are many tutorials in the net. but it will be a problem to fix your imei. That will be lost. So you will need a nvram backup to flash after.
I bricked my phone, but could get it back. With different imei, after many efforts and researchs.

:An assumption:
I don't think that flash tool will work on that device without being able to boot into Bootloader/Fastboot mode.. If I'm wrong, then plz explain for the rest of us? Does it allow bootloader access? (Hold pwr + vol down when booting

If he has a Mediatek Variant, using Mriacle tool + dongle can fix this type of brick.

try this
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE. FOR MTK DEVICES ONLY
0 for all these the device must have minimum 30% battery
1 download your stock firmware
2 format device using sp flash tool>load the scatter file>select format tab>click start>connect usb cable by pressing and holding both volume down and power button until your phone detected. if detected release both buttons. some times it helps to recover
3 flash the firmware if the device detected & successfully formatted. note it may remove your nvram.
4 check https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4-plus/how-to/fixed-moto-e4-plus-xt1771-unknown-t3831831 for how to recover imei and nvram

Can someone please help me? I also have the Moto e4 Plus (XT1776) Qualcomm variant and I bricked mine also... it won't turn on or anything... but windows 10 detects it as QUALCOMM device. Someone please? Anything will be greatly appreciated.

Phone in Hard Brick mode

I was trying to install Arrow OS custom ROM to Motorola one power using TWRP. It got flashed, when I flashed the Gpps Rom with it, it didn't flashed and I rebooted the phone right there. The phone is now in a hard brick mode and is not responding to anything, is there anything I can do to fix it? Could you please guide me with the complete procedure?

You must use a blankflash to boot bootloader.BlankFlash available for
Moto One Power (Chef) https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/chef[/
.1 install Motorola drivers,2 install quallcom drivers for Motorola procesor(gsmusbdrivers.com/download/qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-driver-64-bit-windows) .3 use flashbat in blankflash directory,4 press volume down and power on phone.5 connect phone with pc and proces will be starting.if your phone starting in bootloader mode ,you can flash stock room

Thank you for your help and response. I followed the steps as you mentioned. On step 3 when I run the Flashbat file, It gives the below error, and the phone never started
[112.478] ReadFile() failed, GetLastError()=0
[125.434] ReadFile() failed, GetLastError()=0

when blankflash starting you can release the wolume and power.try differrent usb port in pc.I have the same problem with custom roms,You see port com in device manager on pc?

It worked, but how did you know all this? Just spot on :good:

I tried this method but not working on my phone, xt1942-1. This is the Chinese version p30 note I got from AliExpress. I see the device in device manager as port 9008
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,you are try change a port USB in PC?this method works,my phone is the same like your,Moto p30 note from aliexpress

Thanks, I tried all usb ports on my pc but same problem. Should we press power and volume down buttons after connecting to pc? Please help I just got this phone today and bricked right away ...
Also there are two blankfash versions on the link you provided which one to use?

Hi @dadm I could not get my SIM card detected in RR rom and tried to flash stock again. Now I am in a bootloop whatever I do. Which stock did you use to revert back? And is your SIM card detected?

I have a few questions if anyone could answer. I am looking to get hands on this phone but making sure everything goes as I expect.
1.Does any member have knowledge which of this Device variants (XT1942-1, XT1942-2, XT-942-3) qualify for "Unlocking Boot-loader" and which variant does not support unlocking. I am lookig for 4/64gb Chef.
2. Is there Any Custom Pie Rom with Solid stability + Efficient & Effective Kernel?
3. Does stock Motorola Camera app works 100% in a custom flashed Rom as it does in Stock Rom or we have to use Google Pixel Camera apps as an alternative?
4. Is there anyway to get back to stock image from Custom rom.
5. How to recover the device from a Hard Brick.
6. Not but least. How well this device performs while playing PUBG.
