Hey guys, posted awhile back with no success, basically I have a moto x that has been stuck in fastboot forever now and I need it to be working again now, I contacted motorola and they want $100 for a replacement if any of you guys can fix it i don't mind throwing $20 your way or something.
Basically the phone is stuck in fastboot no matter what I select the phone's screen flashes and jumps right back into fastboot. I plugged it into rsd lite v6.2.4 and it is recognized but it fails on step 2 flashing the gpt, it just says "Phone returned "FAIL"" I tried flashing the "XT1058_GHOST_ATT_5.1_LPA23.12.-21.1_cid1_CFC.xml.zip" found in the general forum. I have no idea what android version it was on when this started happening since i wasn't using the phone, but I assume an OTA was taken which caused it since it was rooted before. The bootloader version is 30.B7 and I have posted some pics below. Hopefully you guys can help, thanks!

You mention trying to flash the ATT 5.1 rom... Is your phone an ATT Branded Xt1058? Or the XT1058 from another carrier?
I ask because the picture shows Locked Status Code 0. i.e. locked bootloader. So you will only be able to flash the roms meant for that carrier/model of the phone.
While on the FastbootAP screen, and with the phone connected to the PC... can you do a FASTBOOT GETVAR ALL and paste the output to a post?

Hey, thanks for the reply, yes my phone is an att branded xt1058. Here is the output:
Thanks once again
CID 0x01 means you have an ATT XT1058.. looking at the rest of the output you have the ATT 4.4.4 rom on there now.
Since you said you have the ATT 5.1 SBF -> http://www.filefactory.com/file/2kmrq89bx1h/XT1058_GHOST_ATT_5.1_LPA23.12-21.1_cid1_CFC.xml.zip
CHARGE YOUR BATTERY to 100% (since it says low battery in that picture)
Then, I would try to flash it using mfastboot (see the requirements and option 5 in post 2 of -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/faq-how-to-prepare-ota-update-carriers-t3126425 ) just use that 5.1 SBF... and I would consider including the mfastboot erase userdata command, or doing a factory reset after you flash... Yes it will erase your data, apps, SDCard, etc...

Is this error because of the low battery? I think the phone was lying idle for so long the battery can't hold a charge anymore, it's plugged in and does say "Battery Low (Charging)" but it doesn't seem to be charging. Might have to open it up

Yes, you can even see it in the screen shot... it says BATTERY LOW...
The phone wont let you flash it the battery is low enough... If its not charging, you have other issues.

So I found a .bat which continuously rebooted the device which got it to charge up. I then ran the commands in post 2 and at: mfastboot flash boot boot.img it got stuck at "writing boot.img" it was stuck there for about 45 minutes so i decided to just pull the cable and now the phone seems to be dead, i can't boot into fastboot and my computer doesn't recognize it.

So I decided just to see what my fastboot looked like - attached.

Is that normal for it to be unlocked? Everything I've heard says this is supposed to be super locked down.

I think it says "bootloader LOCKED" in the fastboot screen. That means, you can ONLY flash motorola compiled operating systems (specifically kernels).;
If you want to try, run a fastboot unlock-bootloader command when running in fastboot. A locked bootloader will tell you something along the lines of "command not valid"
Do not flash anything on your phone. That looks to be a unlocked bootloader!

Makes more sense.
That's my little secret.
I could probably pull whatever from it, but I'd need some help for what you'd like pulled. Haven't rooted it or anything yet.
didnt this happen with a GSM RAZR before? dont get me wrong, i'd love to unlock my bootloader! someone bring this to their attention
FYI, on Milestone XT720, Motorola left a partially working fastboot--we can "fastboot boot boot.img" to boot self-built kernels and this bypasses the signature checks. But you have to boot via USB each time, if you use "fastboot flash boot.img" fastboot will write the kernel and reboot, but the signature check will fail after reboot.

Here's one way to muck with a kernel to change uname strings:

FWIW, the "SE" is the giveaway. If it said "S", you would be in business.
Rzrbck, how so, if it could be retrieved from the phone? Maybe I'm not understanding, but if we had that bootloader is it not like the normal S model with full permissions to the phone?
what makes it an engineering model? are the physical components the same, or is it a software setting that if we changed could unlock the phone?
would it be possible via hardware to dump an SE bootloader, and flash it to a S devic? I would be willing to give this a go if its possible.
if we could get the bootloader images off that phone an unlock for the Droid 4 might be possible. Assuming, of course that both the S and the SE model use the same keys.
Tell me what I can do to help.
I wish I knew what to do, but in the mean time, here's some literature on how the lock works (it's for the milestone, but the d4 might use the same infrastructure).
The bootchain:
http://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/Booting_chain
The mbmloader: this loads the bootloader, if this is replaced with a version that doesn't check signatures, the bootloader can be permanently replaced:
http://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/Mbmloader
The mbm (bootloader) does it's own signature check of the kernel before booting it.
If either the key burned into the phone's fuse, or the key the mbmloader uses to check the mbm are the same on both devices, one or both of those partitions can be flashed with with the unlocked version. If they're both different, this is a dead end.
The only other option after this (aside from espionage)would be to crack the signature system directly by either creating an unlocked version of the bootloader and patching it in a way that it generates the same hash, or discover a new way to factorize large (2048 bit) numbers, and reverse engineer motorola's private signing key. (If you were to discover this factoring method, nearly every security company would have to retool.)
edit: careful updating your phone, an OTA can relock your phone. The more I read, it seems less likely that the bootloader is encrypted. Dumps should be made, but this is going to require someone with greater knowledge than I.
how would we go about doing this?

It seems like you load a special kernel module to unhide the bootloader partitions then simply use the dd command to make an image copy onto the sdcard.
iow, we need a dev.
well the only ones i know might be kholk, hashcode, and p3droid
This got quiet. No news on this yet?
After a lot of troubles I finally determined that my HTC One is actually a fake Hong Kong custom version with different hardware but amazingly similar look. If your HTC One:
- doesn't have Sense preinstalled,
- lack proper identification,
- came with BeatsAudio headphones,
- is made of plastic,
- has Chinese factory mode,
- different barebone bootloader
- and anything else which doesn't look right in regard to HTC One
There's even post on Engadget.
It's probably fake...
After I found that I have different bootloader then usual one I tried to unlock it but when I come to 'fastboot oem get_identifier_token' step cmd just outputs tree dots so I left it for a while but nothing happens after that. It's same for every other oem command. Device is recognized by fastboot and every command that I try works like it should, 'fastboot reboot' reboots device, 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' boots to bootloader, 'fastboot -w' clears userdata and cache so it doesn't seem that adb and drivers aren't set properly.

Have you tried the Revone S-Off method, I know it's still in early stages, but it worked great for me.
No need for the OEM token method if you use it.
I know it took a few tries but just keep at it and you shoul get there
Thanks for answer, I already tried that but I keep getting same error all over time which other users don't get(as far as I saw)

I kept on getting errors even following the instructions to the T. it took me about 2 and a half hours of trying-rebooting and trying again.
But which errros are you recieving?
I always get error code 1
try this unlock toolkit by hasoon2000 .. worked for me ..

The only other thing I could suggest is to go back to stock with an RUU and try it all again bro

Yea...I gave a try to that too but I can't figure out CID and other needed ID, getvar in fastboot display nothing related to CID and as I said in main post I can't execute oem commands for flashing. Anything else...
From you've said it's either a custom HBOOT or it's a fake...

If I flash other HBOOT and something go wrong, can I fix things? You can't access fastboot without it and stock recovery is pretty useless.

When I first turn on it'll stay stuck in HTC white screen logo till battery dies.
If I hold volume rocker and power button to try to factory reset it'll try to initiate but then show and a phone logo with red exclamation mark.
I am almost positive i can restore this phone to working order because i remember a while back i put a galaxy s3 into similar condition and restored it using a program.. Ive been out of this stuff for a while so i forgot how i did it with the s3.
I WAS GIVEN THIS HTC AND IT WAS LIKE THIS WHEN I GOT IT.

Don't worry, this problem has cropped up before, and you're right, it is fixable. This is most commonly attributed to some weirdness with the boot.img flashed to your phone. Firstly, do you have a Vivid, Velocity, or Raider? And what provider does it use (e.g. AT&T)?
The first thing you'll want to try and do is pop out the battery, put it back in, then hold "volume down" and "power" until you get to the bootloader (it sounds like you've already gotten there):

You'll notice in the top portion, mine says "unlocked". Yours may say this, but may also say "locked" or "re-locked".
First thing's first; you'll want to download FASTBOOT (http://www.mediafire.com/download/9ylow29klhccc0x/Fastboot.zip)
and the HTC drivers (this is what I had in my flashing folder, so I upped it to mega: https://mega.co.nz/#!CV5RxY7L!Z_VNph4KoGyYKJJjoUCGPAFZ7xZPOWRbvH2UKsCXCi0)
just run the htc drivers and follow directions, nothing too major. Extract the contents of "fastboot.zip" to somewhere that's easy to access and remember (such as c:\FASTBOOT).
We're not going to do anything yet, this is just preparation.
If your bootloader is "locked" or "re-locked", then you can try restoring the original firmware with RUU. You'll want to read this thread first though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562890
Always need to be careful.
If you are "unlocked", then you need to boot your phone into the bootloader, select "fastboot" (by pressing power when "fastboot" is highlighted), and connect the phone to your computer via a data usb cable. Then, open a command prompt window, and type in: "<c:\FASTBOOT\fastboot.exe> oem lock", where <c:\FASTBOOT\fastboot.exe> is replaced with the location of your fastboot.exe.
I would recommend flashing the recovery image located in the thread I linked to just before (follow instructions provided), and only THEN applying an RUU update. Which RUU you apply is dependent on which device you have.
If anything is unclear, or you have any questions, PLEASE ask in reply to this post; it's better to go slowly and be sure of what you're doing.
sidenote:
I noticed you said you had previously owned an S3 and managed to fix the problem with that; if you are pretty familiar with flashing roms, you can also try to flash a custom ROM and see if that fixes your problem (guides should be on Vivid General or Q&A).

Alright! So apparently this solution worked (got a PM from OP)!
I've read most if not all the threads about the 5.1 update but I'm still a little confused. what is the best, least trouble causing method to update to 5.1? Should I start from scratch and flash the official and then unlock bootloader and root? Can I just flash the bootloader and radio and one of the stock 5.1 roms currently available?
From what I understand, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the current 5.1 aosp roms don't work entirely well and need a fix, and none of the aosp work with the new radio on Tmo?
I believe you can flash bootloader and radio. Then flash one of the stock 5.1 roms. That's what I did, and I'm doing just fine.
So as long as I use a stock rom like what scrosler posted I'm fine? How about going back to a 5.0.2 rom?
Im on Tmobile, i was on Chroma 5.0.2 thursday and flashed the bootloader/radio for 5.1. since then i have not been able to receive calls. Today i flashed Stephan's stock 5.1 v1.2.1 which had some fixes for the speaker and such, but the calls still cannot be received. I also reflashed the bootloader/radio to no avail. I have checked my apn's too. has anyone found a fix yet? I would rather not fastboot back to the previous radio and 5.0.2 Roms (little nervous about the bricked device people were having).

www chinaphonearena com/forum/Thread-Question-LeEco-Le-S3-X626-Helio-X20-Bricked ), I was able to get past the phone buttons not working and was able to flash a new firmware. But this led to another issue considering the system.
For one, I am unable to unlock my bootloader, I just receive the error : FAILED (remote: unlock operation is not allowed), and there is no way fro me to get in my android as it always stays on the LeEco POWERED BY ANDROID screen, which then shuts down and reboots.#
As well as this, the display is now very unusual: the LeEco logo is coloured green white and yellow, the display is flipped horizontally and mirrored vertically.

The image above shows this.
It's VERY annoying and I hope it can be solved.
NOTE!! I can still use locked bootloader/fastboot, can't use adb and can use SP FLASH TOOL
You need to power the phone and wait till boots. Enter the flipped UI enable developer mode and unlock the bootloader.
All the control are flipped so be patient.
After that enter fastboot and flash the original rom

Thanks for the reply, I fixed the issue the same day, I just fixed it using the second part to tickernel's red light unbrick tutorial, I completely missed it out. The rom I was using where everything was inverted was just to unbrick the phone, then after I'd have to flash the rom provided by tickernel to fix. It worked again and an advantage was that there was no more ORANGE state, I didn't have to patch to hide the message nor wait the 5 seconds, so now I can flash custom roms on my phone without the message. The method you provided wasn't the fix, before opening this thread I double checked and saw your method, but thanks anyway .
it was necessary to use a mirror. for example, in the bathroom

it depends on which model is taken ROM. It does not play any role. Can be changed to Build.prop

after bad ressurects i return my device le x626. to le x620 with eui 5.8.018S (stab.) it works normal. But was some bugs with 4g on (turn phone off) and google programs don's start.
But i fixed it all, now it works great, but i think is it bad?
take the stock firmware 28. and install. why use the old version? maybe get my firmware.
to use google apps. you need to download google installer, then after installation, in the settings give permissions to all Google apps.
and correctly to do so: to install firmware, then to start system and to configure it. and then only install the google gapps.
Update on unbrick
With my phone unbricked, it now works perfectly. But now the battery drains very fast. It drops by around 25% in less than half an hour with normal use such as watching videos on youtube in "360p" with all my apps closed, but still the battery drains. I have tried flashing different roms and clearing all partitions in twrp and flashing the CUOCO AND WOLFRED x.28s custom stock roms, but still the issue persists. This is very unusual as before my phone bricked, the battery would hold up for at least an hour before falling by 10 to 20 %. Does anyone have any speculations on why or any fixes? Please help.
UPDATE: I fixed by flashing the international version system.img only if you need it send me a message and I'll put up a link.
