A little different brick of my Moto G 2nd gen(XT-1068).plz help
Hi ,
Please dont ignore my mail just bcoz its too long. I have been following this thread from four to five days. Will you please help me ? Just have a look at my problem. I have been rooting my android phones and have good experience of testing , rooting the handsets. Recently I flashed my Moto G ( xt-1068 ) with lolipop because i was not able to wait till motorolla release it.
I tested it for few days , and successfully downgraded back to 4.4.4 kitkat. It was all fine. I love MIUI so I started my work to port MIUI over our favourite Moto G . I even ported it and was not booting. So I edited updter-script and was trying to flash it back on my xt-1068.
Now the mistake that happened was , due to some error in the script , It aborted the installation. When i checked the log from CWM , It has crossed partitioning and it aborted while extracting the directorties. By mistake I restarted the phone and since the partitions were flashed and there was nothing to execute , my phone is stuck. Its not even starting . Its getting recognised as "qhsusb_bulk". Thts why i came over this thread and tried to follow the procedure you have mensioned.
I am also getting the same error like while flaashing with blank-flash : FAILED (blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello:invalid HDLC frame) and FAILED (blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello:error sending packet) .
So do i have the same problem that happened with theses guys who tried to downgrade their handsets from Lolipop to kitkat ? If its so , should I also wait for Lolipop release by moto ? or will i have some other problem ? Do you have any solution ? I was really wanted to make MIUI available for our Moto G . I don't feel sad for bricking of m phone but what ifeel sad is I want it back. I can't pass my day without it. i am missing it. Please can you suggest me wht should I do ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, i have an moto g xt1068 too and din't power on since yesterday hope to find a solution is hard bricked too.
i bricked mine.problem is the code 43 wich it won t recognize at all the device whatever driver i use.
altho it wont boot black screen i dont know if it charge or not, PC will recognize as device once i press volumedown+power button.
wich on my opinion he works somehow but it isn t recognized bt the windows 7.
i will install a fresh copy of win7 and check again maybe is just a failure from windows.
any other advices feel free to share.
firmwares
do someone has the moto g 2gen firmwares on extention .tar.gz i need them to fix my phone
Help!!
Hi people.
Well, only 2 weeks ago I got my Moto G XT1063 and I unlocked bootloader to install Soak Test of Android 5.0.2 with RetailUSA firmware. (My device's original firmware, was for Claro Colombia).
It worked well, I got it running perfect. Yesterday I saw that official/final version of 5.0.2 was available for my device with RetailUSA firmware, but I needed to do a downgrade to KitKat first, because it wouldn't work if I was in Soak Test yet.
So I made the downgrade, and it was running well, I checked for updates, and there was no updates availables, so I decided to reboot, to see if it may make the update appear. But after turning off my device, and trying to turn it on again, just nothing happened.
Now, my device doesn't want to turn on, neither in fastboot mode. And now, I don't know what to do here. So I would be really thankful for any help provided.
Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.
So here is what happened,
My phone was maybe 14% plugged it in left it charging and went to sleep.
Woke up with the phone alarm and started reading whatsapp messages, at this point the phone was already at 100%.
Maybe 30-40 seconds later, with the cable still plugged in the phone turned off, with no message, it just "died".
Now it wont boot, fastboot, nothing.
Tried some solutions i found on the internet like holding vol down + power button for more than 2 minutes, and nothing.
I really need some help here guys, PLEASE.
The phone was running latest TITAN PRIME ROM 1.1 dev3
Everything will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
partitions whacked out?
It seems I am unable to flash anything probably due to partitions broken. When I try to do a fastboot flash, It results in OKAY, but it has no effect on the device. I tried to flash the gpt.bin to partition, but the problem remains. Is there any way to repair the partitions? I tried to format in fastboot, I get the error "formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'". I am also unable to change format from recovery. All ideas welcome!
This issue came up after my phone went battery empty.

Same here, also due to 0% battery.
Seems these phones do not shutdown early enough before the battery voltage drops below spec. ****ty engineering.
Please, someone help us for the sake of god.
There are several people with this problem and we don't know how to fix it.
Is there any possibility, any help, anything we could test would be welcome.

Hi guys, i hope someone can help. I have the XT1092 variant of the Moto X with Kitkat out of the box, i upgraded to lollipop 5.0 then to 5.1 all via OTA. I then ulocked the bootloader , rooted the device and installed unofficial version of Euphoria 5.1.1 unfortunately i never backed up the stock rom. I then ran into some issues with call quality, no matter who i spoke to they all complained that my voice was fading in and out. I also noticed that whilst on a call whenever i spoke over the top of someone they were also fading in and out like the volume increased via the earpiece every time i spoke. I believed this to be a hardware issue but wanted to confirm this by going back to stock. So i managed to find the EU version of kitkat 4.4.4 which matched my device, using mfastboot i proceeded to flash each file individually which it happened to be that the downgrade went well, but this still did not fix my issue with the fading in and out during calls. I then had the OTA update come through on the device so i decided to go back to stock lollipop 5.0 in hope that this would fix the issue, the download went well the phone then rebooted and started the installation. About half way through i noticed that the screen was black so i naturally pressed the power button but no response, i have tried everything from here that i can think off. I have tried hard reseting using the ppower button and volume button to access bootloader i have also attempted adb & fastboot commands but my device is not registering on the pc the only prompt that came up after plugging it in to my pc was an installation of some foreign driver known as 'Forge HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)'??? The only response i now get from my MotoX is a green led that comes on for a few seconds and disappears shortly after, and that's only when i hold the power button down for 10 secs to perform a hard reset and only when it is connected to a power outlet or my pc otherwise doing the hard reset unplugged i dont even get the green led at all. The device had almost 100% battery when i performed the upgrade. Have i bricked my device, is there any hope in getting it back up again? Is there a toolkit or something i can use to revive it. Your help would be really appreciated it, ive only had the device for approx 2 weeks and it was purchased on ebay from a private seller brand new sealed in the box, so no warranty
this is the version of kitkat i downgraded with, i took a screenshot before i upgraded again via OTA to lollipop.

Unfortunately, you have a brick. That USB QDloader registering on your PC is a dead giveaway. We have no way of helping you recover from this.

Unfortunately, its hard brick and up until now there is no solution yet for this problem, untill someone leak the blank flash file for moto x 2014.

I'm surprised that the phone didn't brick the first flash back to kit kat. Ya the mistake was not downgrading the bootloader first, which can be risky

If I were you I would sell for parts on eBay, or even buy a cracked moto x and take your screen. I did that when my WiFi and Bluetooth went, just bought a cracked screen moto x for 50 bucks. Moto x screens are over 200$ and there is a lot of broken phones
Or sell my your screen for my xt1092 phone make my happy !
Hey guys,
I made the biggest mistake and have been trying to find a solution. Long story short, I have bricked my Moto X xt1058. I can only load into the bootloader, which is locked. When doing any kind of boot, it will pop up a Motorola logo then go to a black screen.
After a few seconds you can sometimes see a green android guy that looks like it says no command quickly flash and go away.
Now my mess up was not paying attention to the ROM I was flashing and flashing a 4.4.4 rom to a 5.1 bootloader (30.BE).
Has anyone got a solution or any help for me?
Update:
Turns out, I needed to flash a newer 5.1 than I could find before. Flashed everything from the update and my phone booted after everything.
I recently tried to install a lot of ROMs, with few success because I'm a beginner at this kind of things. I still managed to reinstall completely a stock KitKat version, and tried to do the OTA update to Lollipop. The screen turned down when the update reached approximately 60% and I can't even restart the phone in bootloader to restore with adb since. Can someone help me or is it helpless?
Same here.
I have a xt1068 and I was on MM, but after found that gps was not working properly, decided to downgrade to Lollipop.
The downgrade worked fine, but then came the OTA stagefright update notification and I tried to install it.
It was on the recovery screen, in the middle of the update, it suddenly blacked out and made no response to charging ou power button. I cant make it into bootloader, nothing. Dead.
Help!
same thing happened to me
So sad
Same here. I tried following some tutorials on bricked phones, but my pc won't even recognize the device as they say it should. Can someone help us? I'm about to go out and go to a technical support store, but I'd like to try on my own first... Someone there to help me?
