[Q] Moto E Bricked - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
I have a Motorola Moto E with KitKat 4.4.4.
I wanted to partition my SD card, actually to swap internal with external memory.
I used AParted. I did something at the Configuration tab. I think I may have changed the boot order (i think??) to usbdisk.
Now, after I restarted the phone, it doesnt boot. at all. It shows as Qualcomm USB something when I plug it to PC.
I think it's bricked. I got this phone for a week, and I bricked it...
Can someone help me please????

what exactly shows when you boot your phone? is it stuck at boot logo?

How, and with what tool should I flash it??

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759495
Here is the method, if still didn't work you need to give your phone to service center
I think you can boot into fastboot since fastboot gets affected very rarely so try once. And if the device is detected in adb type this command adb reboot bootloader

If you are correctly pressing the combination for recovery (volup+home+power) or download mode (volup+voldown+power) and still not getting into recovery or download modes then I am guessing that you tried Ace GT-S5830 custom ROM (or any other incompatible one) on Ace-i GT-5830i, and your phone is not recognizing the key combinations. In that case, as domnic79 said your phone is bricked, and if USB jig is not working, the only way is to either claim it in warranty or use the JTAG method to unbrick your phone. If you somehow successfully get into download mode; use odin to flash multifirmware stock rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822109

Any phone going into Odin mode is salvageable. Just use Odin and flash away. Make sure you do it right. I would recommend you read tutorials and do it step by step. All the best, let us know how it goes.

Maybe the version you used via Odin had a region lock. How about try flashing a rom and then see if you get signal???

You need unlocked bootloader or for locked bootloader this: WWW(DOT)play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler&hl=cs
But, always you need root. It´s good for backups, installing ROMs and much more
Install x-parts from google play, start it, then hit Install CWM. Your phone must be rooted to do this.
I have installed it already guys!!!! After installing it said 'installation is complete please reboot and use the options'' how to use it further guys can anybody tell me???? All says,flash it via cwm but how flash any file????

Did you try rebooting into CWM?
Turn off the phone, then, turn it on again, when the sony logo comes up, wait abit for it to flash then spam the volume down button until it comes up.
If it still didn't work, spam the power button instead of volume down.

okay see what you should do exactly is that when you reboot your phone and the device turns on... as soon as you see the sony logo keep pressing the volume DOWN button and tadaaa you'll go to the cwm menu
if not keep pressing the volume DOWN button as soon as your phone vibrates after the reboot
click "THANKS" if it works
Try spamming volume up

Remove the back cover and find the OFF button, you need to push it with a pencil while holding the power button at the same time until it vibrates or turns off.

Keep the phone turned off. Repair it with PC Companion or Update Service, both are Official Sony tools.

Ruchra said me that i must to flah ftf using flashtool can someone help me with this?and give detailed instructions how to flash it and what ftf to flash.thank you for support.
Sent from my ZTE Blade G using xda app-developers app
1) Download correct ftf from general section, general one for your device.
2) turn phone off with power button under the back cover till you get the 3 vibrations.
3) download flashtool and install all the drivers.
4) start flashtool and close PC companion ( if you have this open)
5) plug USB into phone
6) hold volume down and plug USB into pc, ( should get a green light on xperia sp on led for short time)
7) flashtool should identify device attached in flash mode.
8) select flash and use correct tft you downloaded earlier.
You may need to get files ready as phone can then load to Sony logo again after a few minutes. Got to flash it quick. May need to do it 2-3 times before you get the timing right, took me a few attempts. Hope this helps.

yes you go to flashmod, but then you will need to browse and locate the file on your pc (where ever you downloaded it to) where is says firmwars use the box to the right to move through your drive and find the ftf. You should get something like a drop down list. For myself downloads go into my user download folder.
So long as your phone is turning on that is a good sign.

The drivers are installed on the pc not the phone.

Yup, and then phone go to sony logo!and when i go flash it says Error in processheader: 31 : A device attached
to do system is not functioning
Error flashing aborted
EDIT: i tried again and it starts to flash now i will se does it works.
Тhank you.You saved my life..
When mine was stuck on the logo I had a short time between pluging in USB +volume down and it booting to Sony Logo probably about 1-2 minutes. In that time I had to get the flashtool started, it look me a couple of attempts to get the files selected quick enough and ready to flash. Only suggestion is keep trying or move the ftf to flashtool firmwares folder so you can access ftf quicker and not have to worry about finding them.

Can you give some information about your phone.
Specifically the model, FW version and region of your subscription before you messed up.

when flashing an ftf file, your phone must be completely turned off, when the flashtool says "connect your device" what you're going to do is hold the VOL DOWN button while connecting your micro-usb to your phone, when you connect the usb to your phone, the green LED light must light and then when the light comes out, that's the only time you'll release the VOL DOWN button.
Glad it worked for you.

Do exactly as follows, and your device will be fine..
first, keep the phone for charging.. that time u will either get a charging notification or a green led will be lit up, when u see either of these two,disconnect the device and it will stay off. Now move to the next step
Visit this link:
http://www.sonymobile.com/us/tools/pc-companion/
Click on Download PC Companion
Run the software and install it
Turn the phone off and disconnect it from the computer
1. No matter what the program says do not connect the phone until you complete step 9
2. In the welcome screen you will see the different modules available for you including the "Support Zone" option. Click on "Start" below it.
3. On the next page Click on "Start" under "Phone Software Update"
At this point if you get an error stating that "Unable to install update components" or "Server is busy" , then please proceed to step 12
4. The program will say that there is no phone connected. Click on the option below that reads: "Repair my phone" the program will issue you a warning about the content that you will lose during the update
5. Choose the option to continue.
6. The program will issue a final message warning you of possible data lost during the update. Click on the checkmark and then on "Next".
7. After that, the program will download the necessary information (5 to 6 minutes) and it will present you with a list of phones.
8. Choose your phones model from the list then click on "Next" then you will see a new section telling you how to connect the phone. (don't connect it yet)
At this point the phone must be off and disconnected from the PC.
9. Connect the cable to the PC not to the phone, then while pressing and holding the indicated button (in the steps on screen an specific button will be shown for you to press on the phone) connect the cable to the phone and keep holding the indicated button until the program says "the update of your phone has started..." (in some cases a message of "Installing drivers" will appear before the message of "the update of your phone has started..." is shown.)
Please do let me know if this has worked

Don't know what's wrong!

Can you boot into the bootloader?
To enter bootloader, hold volume UP and power.
Upon entering the bootloader, you will notice that there is no 'menu' to enter fastboot or recovery. Unfortunately, since the stars didn't align properly, we were unable to tell the new bootloader where to load the images that contain the menu from.
In light of that, you'll have to navigate the menu blind. Use the volume keys to change selection, and the power key to select.
The choices are (in order of pressing volume down):
Start - boot the phone normally [already selected]
Restart Bootloader - reboot into the bootloader
Recovery Mode - enter recovery (CWM)
Power Off - powers the phone off
So, to get to Recovery, you would press volume down twice then power.
Thanks I'll try that out will post results shortly

I tried that nothing comes up even while blind navigating nothing happens tried rebooting into both recovery and bootloader from the power down options and nothing other then this problem the phone works all except both Wi-Fi 4g Data but both were working when I first flashed the ROM

Was your phone connected to computer while trying to enter download, and does your computer recognize that you have connected to it? Sorry if these sound like obvious questions but trying to rule out what we can.
Yes my phone was connected while trying to go into download mode. And when I plugged my phone into my computer it does recognize it.
