Moto G5s Plus (XT1805) in Hardbrick, need help please - Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers

Hi everybody
I'm new to this Forum and now after 3 days of researching this site (and nearly the whole internet ) for solving this issue
i have to post this, hoping someone can help me.
What it is about?
Next to me lies the Motorola Moto G5s Plus (XT1805) EU Model from my mother.​And as i now can say it is Hardbricked, because it will no longer turn on, no fastboot mode, no Recovery mode ...nothing.​Just a black screen and no response to any button pushes.​All what it is doing: when i plug the USB cable in, whether Power socket or Laptop, the LED in the top left corner​is continuous flashing.​Also the laptop shows "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in the "Ports"-Section of the device manager.​
What i did so far?
First, as i read, i left the phone untouched and unplugged for 24 hrs. Hoping it will charge when i plug it back in and let it for a hour or so.
After that i tried to switch it on with the powercord plugged in and pushing the power button ->nothing
Then i tried the VOL- + Power Button combo for Fastboot Mode ->nothing
The same two steps with unplugged powercord ->nothing
Then i did further research and after a long time i've finally found a specific Blankflash for this mobile phone ->HERE​I downloaded it, connected the phone to the Laptop and started the "blank-flash.bat".​​Well, it aborted. This is what the Log-File has written:​​

​In prepare for when the Blankflash works i already downloaded an official Firmware for the XT1805 model from ->HERE
Now I'm stuck and don't know what to do next; or as we say in germany: "Ich bin mit meinem Latein am Ende"
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me
thanks in advance

Oreo 8.1 mmcblk0.img thanks to @meltbanana
Nougat 7.1 mmncblk0.img xt1794(102-49-8) with md5-code by @hanshu43
Nougat 7.1 mmncblk0.img xt1795 with md5-code and tool to verify it
Thanks to @echo92 for providing md5-code of a working file
Tips & tricks!
The BEST method to flash the sdcard with mmcbk0.img file is to use LINUX!
Windows user have no need to install Linux in pc, you can run Linux from a bootable usb-stik or pendrive by 8Gb at least
0)put the moto g5s in wall charger till finish flashing sdcard to be charged on boot test!
1) run linux, preferable cinnamon or mate versions of linux Mint or Ubuntu(for ubuntu dont use LTS version)
2)insert the sdcard in pc or card reader and opend "Disks" apk
3)in "Disks"apk select sdcard and you will see the sdcard partitions
4) press "-" to delete the partition(delete al partitions if are more than one)
5)press "+" to create a new one and name it mmcblk0, set FAT(FAT32) file format and press "CREATE"
6)press "Play"button to mount the sdcard, look to see what path sdcard have(/dev/sd??) the and close the "Disks"apk
7)go to Desktop, opend "Computer" and navigate to the location when the img file is extracted(mmcblk0.img)
8)opend the window where img file is with root(right click on window and select "opend as root")
9)in root window opend the Terminal(right click on window and select "opend terminal")
no need to type "su" in terminal, it have already root
10)type in terminal the comand writed below and dont forget to eliminate that "1" from the sdcard path,
that "1"can make the differnce betwen phone boot or not!!!!!
Terminal comands
- if your sdcard is seen like " /dev/sdb1"
in terminal aply that comand:
dd bs=4M if=mmcblk0.img of=/dev/sdb status=progress oflag=sync
-if your sdcard is seen like " /dev/mmcblk0p1"
in terminal aply that comand:
dd bs=4M if=mmcblk0.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 status=progress oflag=sync
and flashing process should start
when it finish, test the sdcard in phone and it should boot!
IF you get an size error of the sdcard in terminal you have to change the sdcard and try again!
This is the last edit of sdcard flashing tutorial, i cant make better than that!!
Thankyou!

After many searching's, i think i managed to create a singleimage.bin for montana
it is made on xt1793 modell and it (maybe) can work on all montana version's
i cant test it! sorry, my phone is not bricked and hope to do not brick it in near future
so the singleimage.bin file is not tested
you will do test on your own risk
please think twice or more many times before act
Download the "Blankflash" zip, (link removed)
extract it in your pc(Windows or Linux)
in Windows opend the blankflash folder and do double-click on blank-flash.bat
a cmd window will opend and it will wait for your device to be conected
connect the phone and the process should start
in Linux opend the blankflash folder, opend terminal and tipe:./blank-flash.sh and hit enter
after you will see "<waiting for device>" line, connetct the phone and the process should start
hope singleimage.bin to be good for all versions of montana and to work helping you to restore the phone
What is a Forum without users?
Thankyou!
in case of ERRors please post along your coment a screenshot with cmd or terminal
or copy-paste all lines from it here
Thankyou again!

Hardbricked - having issues blankflashing

Hi,
Last night, my Moto G6's battery died during an update. I put it on the charger and the LED came on flashing and did that overnight.
This morning, the light had stopped flashing, which means the battery is no longer discharged completely, but the phone isn't booting. No bootloader, so this is clearly a hardbrick. I plugged my phone into my computer, and it came up as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008". I've heard of this, but I've never personally dealt with it. So, I tried to flash a blankflash and I'm having trouble with it. The log below is the farthest I've gotten:

Can someone help me out with this?
Hello friend!
I have exactly the same problem.
I can't flash BlankFlash_PPS29.26.bat for my XT1925-5, the entire chain of loaders.
Returns exactly the same I/o error.
After talking with wise people, I realized that blankflash can't flash the original bootloader, since its version is later than the version that is installed in the internal memory of the phone.
I tried experimenting with blankflash.bat for different devices with the same security updates.(Motorola Moto G5Plus, Moto G6 Plus,Moto G7 Plus, etc.) But to no avail.
Here you need the help of a smart encoder that can "patch" our SingleImage.bin for our firmware version and updated security system.
Please email me if you have any results on our common problem.

Moto G6 HardBricked after update! Help me please! :(

Hello guys, I bought a motorola g6 some time ago. It was rooted. I went back to rom stock to remove root and installed it normally, but the phone updated, and after didn't turn on anymore, even pressing the power and volume buttons. It only turns on a led light when plugged into the computer.. I already followed the steps from the topic below, but my phone is G6, not G6 Plus

I believe you can enter download mode, or fastboot mode by doing the following:
1. First of all, turn off your phone – press power button and then select “power off”.
2. The USB cord must be near you, as a connection between your device and your computer must be established at some point.
3. Press and hold the volume down button on your Moto G.
4. While pressing the mentioned key also press Power button.
5. Now connect your Moto G with your computer by plugging in the USB cable.
6. Download mode / bootloader mode should now be installed – some drivers might be installed automatically.
From here you can reflash the stock rom. As long as your bootloader is unlocked, its ALMOST impossible to hardbrick your phone.

1. G7 is called "river"
2. There isn't any Moto device which is called "sahara"
3. Sahara is a GUI tool for working with devices in Qualcomm DLOAD mode (bricked devices)!! So the "sahara_downloader" doesn't stand in any relationship to the Moto G7!!!

Hello dear happy owners of Moto G6 bricks.
Please, would you be so kind as to accept me into your team of elite owners of useless nutcrackers based on the Motorola Moto G6.
My XT1925-5 device was also hardbricked, after upgrading to Android 9.0 Pie and installing the latest security updates.
Also, when trying to flash the blankflash_PPS29.26 utility.bat receive
error: Sahara Download IO Error.
Email me if there are any positive results when getting a smartphone memory dump and creating a new blankflash for the latest OTA.
This is my contact email ([email protected]) if there are people willing to collaborate to write a new Blank Flash together.

Flash the latest RETAIL (PPSS29.55...) from here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ali/official/RETAIL/ with RSD Lite 6.2.4, this happened to me days ago with a XT1925-2 RETLA and this was the way to recover it.

I have the official firmware for XT1925-5 for Android 9 Pie ,you can get SBL1 from it.bin, SingleImage.Bin.
And redo BlankFlash_from_29. 26 for my firmware version?

I have an XT1295-2 RETLA and there is no official Pie firmware for this model, so what happened to me was that I've received an update and the OTA bricked my device, what I did was:
1.- Downloaded de latest RETAIL Pie firmware from the link I've posted before.
2.- Flashed this firmware with RSDLite (I've tried to flash it manually but no luck).
3.- Nothing else, the device booted without problems.

I can 't boot in any way at all.
Fastboot doesn 't see the device.
It is only defined as Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008.
Neither fastboot nor Qfill.exe does not see the device.
Here you need a working blank flash.bin, specifically for my version of the SOFTWARE (PPSS29.55-37-4-3), which will be kindly merged with Motorola's technical servers .
Otherwise, there is no way to restore the loader Chains.

How To Guide [SOLVED] Recover Moto G50 from hardbrick state (stuck in EDL)

Hallo Moto Users
Last few days, it was a nightmare to find some ready and working solution on hardbricked Motorola. After 5 or 6 days finally bootloader screen appeared
Just to mention - until one week ago I was just and only Samsung user for last 6-7 years. So I clearly admit I am a n00b regarding other brands/systems. (probably someone who is PRO user for ages, would solve that 'at the fly', however I digged whole entire Internet and found only ONE TIP how-to).
To be clear - below I share a link to the orginal poster of the method which resurrected my Moto - all I have done was to read, understand and follow...
https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoG/comments/k73n66
I am pretty sure this could also be a way for many Motorola models. Hope it will help someone in the future to save some valuable time (and money as the local worshops have 99% predictions that it is DEAD MOTHERBOARD signs and evidence!).
Enjoy the New Started Year Ladies and Gents!
my moto g52 is not starting (hardbrick), I tried the method informed but the flahs always gives an error
my model is xt2221-2 RETBR

Struggling to recover Moto G6

I had my moto G6 in storage as I had upgraded and no longer needed it till today. I pulled it out and noticed it wouldn't turn on. I figured it was dead and plugged it in when I was promptly greeted with a fastboot menu and logs complaining the hab image couldn't be verified. Tried rebooting a couple times hoping for a fluke and alas, my luck is not good.
So I followed the recommendation on the screen and got the lovely Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant to reprogram my phone. It tried the first time and my phone ended up with a black screen and white LED blinking at 1Hz. After a time the Lenovo tool gave up and errored out. I held the power button for a minute and I was able to get back to the fastboot screen and figured I would just try again.
I tried a second time and it progressed further into the process before it did the same thing again. I am now with a phone that does little more than blink the white LED. But I do see that the CPU is in a EDL mode and enumerates as a COM port. I found this thread for the G6 Plus and was able to get some luck but the blankflash errored out (not surprised as it was for the plus and not the 'regular' G6).

I spent some time online and found this link:

I downloaded the PDS29.118-15-11-14 and gave that a try. I produced some results but ultimately ended in an error.

I think the exact blankflash I am looking for might be called: PPS29.118_15_11_16_cid18
The reason I suspect this is because the image that the Lenovo tool was trying to download and install to the phone has a full name of:
ALI_AMZ_PPS29.118_15_11_16_cid18_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml
Does anyone happen to have any suggestions? Would be cool to get this phone back from the dead, no matter what ROM ends up on it.
Thanks in advance
