Help Hard Brick - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I was trying to recover my Moto g2 that is hardbrick, so I used the blankflash of the Moto g1 and now my Moto g2 is not being recognized in the PC anymore, is there a solution?

Sell it as not working on eBay and buy a new phone. Don't waste your time. What you did is the textbook procedure of how to irreversibly break a smartphone. Hate to break it to you, but that was just stupid. Read the guides and/or ask XDA next time you are thinking of trying something like that.
Besides, if it was already hardbricked, there was pretty much nothing left to do anyway. Motorola didn't release the flash blank file for the second gen, so if you hard brick, game over. Flashing the file from a different phone in comparison makes it even worse (If it can be worse)

[Q] Help recovering photos - please

Dear XDA Forum users-
I'm desperate! Short story is my wife cracked her Moto X screen, I tried to repair it with no luck, and she wants the pictures of her 8 year old niece that passed away a week ago! I never backed it up before trying to fix the cracked screen - and now the LCD is also broken. OK I know, I'm in divorce territory here. I need help. And I'm feeling AWFUL! The phone powers up but only vibrates randomly.
I've done a ton of research and it looks like if I had an unlocked bootloader I could install CWM and get the files back. Unfortunately her phone is a Verizon Moto X and cannot be unlocked.
I have been able to put the phone in fastboot mode and fasatboot.exe sees it. I can't get adb.exe to see the phone. I think USB debugging must not be enabled.
Am I completely out of luck? Can one of you save these very precious pictures for me? Please!
Thanks so much

The easiest way I can see is to have a cell phone repair shop look at it. I've replaced dozens of motorola lcds and digitizers and many that are also glued together. It should be a simple matter of replacing the entire front of the device. On the downside the replacement part will most likely cost upwards of $100 not counting the time it takes but this seems like your best bet at least from what I know.
Other more experienced members may be able to help recover the files in the state it's in.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I agree, fastest fix is to replace the screen. Unfortunately I have no idea if that will actually fix the problem. You see the device is now just randomly vibrating. I have no idea what that means. It could mean that the device is broken completely - I did after all disassemble it in my effort to replace the cracked screen.
If anyone has a bricked Moto X they would be willing to donate to my cause, I would be most thankful!
If there is any way to confirm the pictures are actually there....that would be helpful. If they could be recovered somehow using fastboot that would be amazing!
Thanks!
Any other ideas?
It seems possible that I can load a recovery image while connected to fastboot and boot into that to get to ADB then pull the root filesystem.
Is that possible? Can anyone confirm please.... still desperate.

How bad and far does the infinite bootloop extend to?

Hey all,
So I've been eyeing on getting the LG G4 for a while now via Swappa (the T-Mobile version). I was going to buy it until someone commented about manufacture date on the LG G4 because there's a serious issues with the phone's motherboard that causes a bootloop. I search all about on Google and personally don't feel comfortable in buying it if that's that case...
... however, I'm willing to still go for it if you can all possibly chip in your thoughts about this issues? Google states it's a "small" bad batch and Sprint has recalled all their LG G4s but how "small" batch is it? How are your chances in getting the dreaded infinite bootloop the batch made before Sept 2015?
I hope to get a good amount of input on this, thanks in advance.
i bought my phone in june 20th or somewhere around there from tmobile and ive rooted and done alot of stuff on my phone and i havent run into a bootloop, but maybe im just lucky
This was probably a bad choice in thread type :x if mods can delete this, that'll be great.

Thanks, I've red a couple of guides but the are for G2/3 only. One of them steps doesn't work on G4, so no solution so far.
Theres been a few threads on this and i know it can be done the issue is the board flasher. Has to support whichever board is in the g4.
So an year passed and still no solution? How come others phones got a solution, but not the G4? If it can't be done via USB who can direct flash the EMMC than?

Yea this is garbage im gettin rid of this phone just orederd me a nice refurbed g3 ill take that over this new any day. I qualcom bricked my g2 and g3 and was able.to recover but the fact that its not possible or hasnt been found yet urks me.
Yea from what ive found there aint know way all the old board flashers dont work.
Jtag is so far the only option. witch is bull crap cause if u read the g2 and g3 threads most of them say just about any new quallcom should be completly unbrickable. Go figure another down on the g4. No hardbrick fix. no unlock half of you now cant root. Hardware issues plus many many more. You rock lg. Not. Way to destroy your reputation. And rate ots going g5 is going to be as big of a blunder.

Motherboard swap?

Hey folks, longtime lurker, first time poster. I want to say a quick thanks to everyone here for all the work you folks do, and all of the super informative posts here that have helped me throughout the years.
My question is this, I just recently got an AT&T Note 3 from a friend, and wanted to flash CM to it, but I soon learned that the bootloader is locked and this would not be possible for me. I know development for this (now 3ish year old) phone is probably long dead, but I hope somebody will stumble upon my post, and be kind enough to help me with an idea I'm working out in my head. I have a friend who has a tmobile note 3 that has a busted screen, and was wondering, if I either a) swap my screen into it, or b) swap the tmobile motherboard into my phone, would I be able to then flash Cyanogenmod, considering that I would have the tmobile motherboard in my phone, or just the working t mobile version in general? In theory, I would assume even the motherboard swap would work, though it would be annoying to have to do it.
What do you think, can I do this, should I attempt to?
Yes, the T-Mobile board should fit on the n900a.
The n900t does not have a locked bootloader so cm can be used.
Thanks for the reply, I may just give that a try then. Best case scenario, it'll be successful, and I'll have CM 13 on my device... worst case, I fail, and end up needing to replace the phone (which I should probably do eventually anyhow) this should be fun.

It would be much easier for you to replace the cracked screen on your buddy's phone than replacing your motherboard with his.

Unfortunately Motorola has not released the files "flash blank" for Moto G (2nd gen) to recover the bootloader.
There is nothing you can do today. It is a weight paper.

Good afternoon,
Friend you already managed to recover the g2 bike with this tool?
Why did you do that?!? It's probably the ONLY way to hard brick this phone.
I'll cut out all the bull**** for you: you only have one realistic option right now, and that is to load up Amazon and just order yourself a new phone. The higher end Moto G5 plus is a fair successor for around $/€250. You may sell your Moto G2 on eBay as non-functioning if you want to, even for a minimal price. $20 can mean the difference between the 2GB/16GB and 4GB/32GB configuration. And the RAM boost alone makes your next phone a hell of a lot more future - proof. Surely, more future - proof than this one. Besides, there is really no reason to keep what you have now turned into an expensive paperweight around (unless you actually need a paperweight); and, since it's quite a popular phone, you might find someone who will be willing to buy a hard bricked unit cheap for parts.
Yes, there are other things you can do such as sending it to some stranger to JTAG and *maybe* see it again after months, or order a new motherboard and pretend you'll manage to install it without messing everything else up, but these are all far from viable and likely a waste of time and money. (At this point of this phone's lifetime, saving up for an upgrade makes more sense than investing in any repair of any kind)

I tried to use this tool but it did not work due to lack of file.
