I hope u find this, i've also a bricked x+1
If anyone have this tool I need too!!
Thanks
Can you get into bootloader mode? Charge the phone and see if you can get into bootloader mode.
I'm on the same boat... Just got my Moto X 2014 bricked... Found the tool and files for the original Moto X, but not for Moto X 2014. I don't think they exist (yet).

@JulesJam
I am (and I believe eveybody else on this post is) requesting the tool / files because our smartphones are bricked in a way we can't access the bootloader. The tool Junior asked on the OP is to repair / reflash the bootloader, which probably got corrupt, so there's no way to access it and flash anything through Fastboot.

Ok, yes, if you corrupted the bootloader than you obviously can't get into bootloader mode. But a lot of times people just don't know how to get into bootloader mode when they have a blank screen. So I was asking.
If your screen is blank when you turn on your device and you know the phone is charged, you can press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds, then immediately press and hold volume down and then press and hold power again and hold both for about 4 seconds then release. I have found I need to press and hold both volume up/down then while still holding press power and keep all 3 held down for 4 seconds and then release. I don't know why but pressing and holding all 3 seems to work better for me.

The screen is only black and phone doesn't get to the fastboot. I've tried a number of ways.
When I connect to the PC, the device is recognized with the name QHSUSB_DLOAD.
When I connect to the charger, the green led flashes constantly.
Ive already have the .hex files

The behavior I see here is quite the same. I tried to use the blankflash tool, but as you already discovered, it needs some device specific files (from the bootloader) and the ones available around just won't work with the Moto X 2014... Install the unsigned device driver on Windows is not difficult. The problem is to find these files, that should come directly from Motorola. Without them, we can't restore the bootloader, that is probably corrupted.

Did you manage to use the files you've found to fix your bootloader? I thought the needed files were like "singleimage_XXXX.bin"... Please let us know your results.
Thanks a lot!

Has anyone looked at this process to see if some variation of it can be used to resurrect your device?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/moto-x-root-pogress-60-t3071602
I am not familiar with the process used here to resurrect a bricked Moto X 2013:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/how-to-resurrecting-bricked-moto-x-t2629057
However, I have a file emmc_appsboot.mbn for 5.0 for XT1096 (Verizon Moto X 2014) and from scanning the thread above, that may be a useful file.
I can access to the command system, but with the .bin file ive found i receive the "file to large" or "wrong version" message sometimes.
As you said we need the right .bin file.

The flasher tool is a program that let you solve the missing recovery with the qualcomm devices instead of use command lines(its something like rsd vs mfastboot), you need 2 files, .hex file ( or mbn) and .bin file (the emergency recovery). You have the mbn (same as my .hex) we just need the .bin one.

Is the .bin file something I can pull from a working device? Or is it inaccessible?

The Droid Ultra is very similar to the Moto X 2014, do you think any of these files may work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra/general/droid-ultra-maxx-brick-recovery-t2830806

MPRG8960_MOTO.zip
I have this problem - my G800F changed it's IMEI to 350695200123951. When that happened I had not touched it (no root, no nothing) at evening I still was able to make calls, but later that night it showed 'not registered on network'. I have tried factory reset, reinstalling the firmware using Kies, then I used odin, tried to make EFS backup and restore, but so far I haven't had any success. So I thought that some of you brilliant minds could help me, maybe there is a way to change the IMEI in efs backup file? The only strange thing that happened to my phone couple of days before this happened is that some random number from Ukraine called me, but for obvious reasons I did not answer it nor did I call it back. So now I'm stuck using my fathers old HTC Wildfire S, I really hope that you could help me, because I want my phone back.
SOS
Sorry no answer from me but exactly the same thing with my S5 mini g800F last week (end Sept), with exactly the same false IMEI, and I think I have now tried everything. No luck. Not the Ukraine phone call though!
Cannot get into "engineermode" which may have been a way to fix this. I loaded a new firmware, still nothing. ANY help will be appreciated but please nothing that asks me to add a "secret code" as the phone does not respond to those. I'm not an expert but got desperate enough to try my hand at a terminal emulator, it did not work. Stopped short of using SDK as the download is huge. Firmware now loaded is android 4.4.2 build number KOT49H.G800FXXU1AOG2. Heeeeelp anybody! The vendor is of no use either, just mumbling "this is a very strange thing, where did you get the phone....." (bought from the guy asking!!)
Warranty service restored the original IMEI

Just couple of days ago got my phone back from warranty and they fixed it (thought they wouldn't since it was rooted), so I would suggest doing the same thing. At the warranty center I had to explain my problem for about 30 minutes, because they believed that phone couldn't change its IMEI. Also you could try other service centers, because some of them said that they could fix this problem for about 30-50 EUR. I believe the only thing that could help otherwise is something like the z3x box, but it would be more expensive as it costs 100+ USD.
If you download the original stock firmware you can flash the IMEI number back to the phone
:S
No solution has been under warranty , the pochaine time to think about backup your EMEI
Yes yes
there is a backup somewhere between all my external hard drives, memory sticks, cloud servers... And i can't find it, too long ago and too many passwords!! But, no use telling me now to make a "pochaine" backup. I will try the reflash to older version suggestion, and see whether that gives me access to the required features. If not, it is the mountain to climb, of getting to the samsung "support" to tinker with the phone. Glad you you are sorted sunciks. A person from xda did contact me, so lets see if that bears fruit.

A back up of your phone? I would suggest just making a new back up because it's less time consuming.

You are going to have to be patient with an old person here. Making a backup of the current situation? Will it not just copy the existing false IMEI and replace on restore? Please be specific, step by step, as you would for a kid. Regards

Nope it shouldn't. The IMEI number is installed with the firmware. So if you back it up and factory reset, it should fix it.

If factory reseting doesn't work, then I suggest flashing the firmware manually.

No, I mean downloading the firmware upgrade. It will download the new files but not install. This was long ago. Right now I get to tools to upgrade and initialise and get the message "does not support initializing" I give up!
No don't give up, just download the firmware and flash it with ODIN. If you need my to explain that, leave me an email and I'll send you the instructions.

What you propose was the second thing I did. The first was doing a factory reset with the older version of the firmware (what the phone came out with). Neither steps worked. The firmware I flashed was (Build number) KOT49H.G800FXXU1AOG2. Which btw Kies indicates as the latest version.

I possibly found that the lg g4 can connect a serial console when in fast-boot and android with limited access, and that the boot-loader is based on little kernel
codeaurora.org/blogs/little-kernel-based-android-bootloader
It may be possible to connect uart via serial and map out how the bootrom loads the sbl and (aboot (bootloader))and possibly find a way to unlock the boot-loader

Try posting this in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/unlock-technical-steps-to-make-unlocked-t3165391
Or even the general G4 forum; the audience appears bigger and you'll probably be able to get more brains taking a look at this!
It's quite interesting.
Dude, I was literally coming here to see if anyone had tried anything like USB serial console the way you'd do with like a raspberry pi or a more recent thin client and found this thread with the search feature.
I'm glad to see that it does, in fact, work. I was about to pitch the theory, but it seems you've not only arrived at the same theory, but have tried it yourself. +thanks for posting the results dude. Much appreciated. Hopefully this will lead to some kind of progress otherwise I'm just going to use an upgrade to get something else and sell my G4. I'm really getting tired of the total lack of ROMs. This isn't 2008 where only a couple carriers have Android phones and the developer base is tiny. What company thinks it's SMART to create only one model that can have the bootloader unlocked and then NOT make that model available on all carriers at the off-contract price?!
I'm guessing there is no way to edit the LK, and implement these changes to re enable fastboot commands without it throwing some type of error due to the fact of it not being signed? -
To selectively enable any fastbootcommand on user/production build, add the command as shown below:
File: bootable/bootloader/lk/app/aboot/aboot.c
Function: void aboot_fastboot_register_commands(void)
structfastboot_cmd_desccmd_list[] = {
/* By default the enabled list is empty. */
{““, NULL},
/* move commands enclosed within the below ifndefto here
* if they need to be enabled in user build.
*/
#ifndefDISABLE_FASTBOOT_CMDS
/* Register the following commands only for non-user builds */
{“flash:”, cmd_flash},
{“erase:”, cmd_erase},
{“boot”, cmd_boot},
{“continue”, cmd_continue},
{“reboot”, cmd_reboot},
{“reboot-bootloader”, cmd_reboot_bootloader},
{“oemunlock”, cmd_oem_unlock},

Can this work via lg flash tool to convert say a ls991 to h811? Is there any special ools needed like octopus box?
I dont think we can cross flash to811. Ive tried askin that one may be possible with box but doibtfull
And sprint wont unlock bl. Only lg can. They would have to basicly give u the signature to sign ure own images. Unless they offer unlock when nougats released

Wow nice. Now to test this on T-Mobile!! Let the flashing commence
Don't think this is a good idea; from what has been communicated the Modem for T-Mobile is different or has a different signature; you might end up with a brick. We we obviously won't find out unless we try. The problem is... you don't have an image to re-flash the T-Mobile version, so you might have to send it in.
im tempted to run this today on the tmobile model. how high is the risk of hard brick? will it leave me without fastboot if it doesnt work?

apparently the flash to 9.0.5 in the other thread overwrites the modem anyway. its the criticals that dont overwrite. worst case im within my 14 days still, can alwasy return

Yep, if a Dev can chime in that I won't be left with a hard brick and will be able to go back to TMobile firm atleastsr I'll jump. The only thing holding me back is that sim unlock and unlock bin. I don't wanna go thru that again if have to exchange.

It's not how this tool works. A raw dump doesn't equal a flashable fastboot dump doesn't equal a msmdownloadtool ops file.
Edit: apparently you can't use the not equals symbol. I wrote a lengthy reply and it's gone. I'll write a shorter version.
My assumption is there is no version for the T-Mobile, but this will work for a full conversion. OP support will most likely not use this on the T-Mobile version and it's why we had to void our warranty when we unlocked the bootloader. They probably defer you to T-Mobile if you brick your phone. Now that being said, I bet this tool works just fine on the T-Mobile version and will turn it into a full international device capable of OTA updates and everything.

One of three things will happen.
One, it will recognize it as the wrong device and won't flash at all.
Two, it will flash and you'll have a hard brick.
Three, it will flash and you'll have a fully converted International version.
If you have to return it to TMobile, you shouldn't have any issues returning it. A dead device is a dead device, the reps don't care. Also getting your new one unlocked should be no issue as all since you already had your first device unlocked. Just tell support that. Your device was unlocked and you had to RMA it. They will SIM unlock no problem. You will still have to wait 7 days for the unlock bin.

Since this will flash criticals, very likely, don't worry, my download is almost complete, I'll test it since my 6T is my spare device.

it fails, they do have a signature difference after all, I'm thinking we have to flash criticals/persist before this would work...maybe.
