Solution for hard-bricked Moto e (must read) - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Firstly I want to tell you that I am very close to unbRick Moto e.
So, as u all know that android operating system is made on Linux.
So android development is possible using Linux as I am using Kali Linux
And I would like to tell you that we hard-bricked Moto e by updating it to New firmware which contains the update of bootloader
In android operating system bootloader is the thing which tells the kernel to boot or to start the phone
And by upgrading our bootloader is corrupted so it is not booting nor in fastboot mode or in system
So the problem is bootloader is deleted and we have to reinstall it using kali Linux by deleting and then recreating the bootloader and .gpt partions.
And I am facing some problem using Kali Linux
So is there anyone who have good knowledge of Linux
It will be really appreciated..
U can contact me on my whatsapp no.8233361455

Where did you get this information? Is only Kali Linux or any Linux Distro required? I have some knowledge, so I might be able to help if you give me more information

Actually I am doing software engineering
So I have a little knowledge
And Kali Linux is best to do so because it is an advance linux

How about using Mi flash?
I too have a hard bricked Moto e. And I've been looking for unbrick solutions, but no luck so far. However, I came across a few methods that might work like using Mi flash or QPST eMMC download (I don't think QFill will work). Miflash seems to be a good option as it is used to unbrick any Xiomi phones. Unfortunately, there is no Xiomi phones with Snapdragon 200. Now, all we need is correct files for Moto e:
1. MPRG8x10.hex (It is the eMMC programmer file to help download the bootloader into eMMC, and I guess it can be used with all Snapdragon 200 MSM8x10 processor. And I've already got this file somehow).
2. 8x10_msimage.mbn (It is the bootloader image file and specific to the phone. In case of Moto e, it is the motoboot.img. Renaming the file might just work. I've got this file too.)
3. Raw XML and Patch XML files (These XML files contain the partition details of Moto e. And I don't have these two. We need someone with a working Moto e to create a system dump file. From that we may be able to create these XML files.)
4. Fastboot Script file (It is a batch file. I'm downloading few Xiomi fastboot roms to see the contents of this batch file)

First of all, the OP has sold his phone, so don't expect any further development from this thread.
Second, you are most welcome to implement your knowledge about unbricking as many fellow members are in need of a solution.
And last but not the least, welcome to XDA

Thanks for the reply..

I unfortunately hardbricked my Moto E today. Everything was going fine when I decided to go to Advanced->Recovery in the TWRP recovery after wiping everything. Only the LED light blinks now when connecting and disconnecting the charger. I also happen to have access to a working Moto e. I might be able to help you here in finding the required files. Let me know what you want and how. Thanks,

LG G Pad X2 8.0 Plus T-Mo LG-V530

I know this isn't the correct forum but I've searched and haven't found anything and since this seems to be the closet device I was wondering if there is any development for this device yet or any rooting methods that may work
I looked as well. There does not seem to be any serious develop on the V530. I'm bootloader unlocked but no root or twrp that I could find.

Thanks. I couldn't even get that far. Don't get me wrong it's a nice device but I'm sure a custom ROM would make it fly. Hopefully soon as more people get the device we'll see some development.
First thing first. Bootloader commands must be there.
If so, you just need TWRP
I'd also be very interested in rooting/custom rom for this device, as I moved to it from my Nexus 7 2013 that was very much showing it's age. It's almost painful being on a stock rom from a 3rd party at this point. I've searched through google and nobody seems to be taking much interest in this device. The same was true for the original xperia z tablet and it's got official lineageos support, so I remain hopeful.
love this thing
I would just love to root this beast. New to LG products, not new to rooting. Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to start?

I am having problems even booting into bootloader on this thing. I was able to boot into recovery mode but can't get out of the "no commands".
adb reboot recovery
adb reboot bootloader -> just reboots it.
It might be possible to use dirtyc0w exploit to get root access on this tablet.(nvm it seems our android version is already patched for that. )
I too have been able to get the bootloader unlocked but unable to find a version of TWRP or find any rooting tool that supports this device. Still holding out hope but this doesn't seem to be a super popular device :/
Hey guys! I bricked my tab and i need a stock kdz or system, recovery and boot.imgs! Does anyone have or can pull these file for me thanks in advance!
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I have rooted mine..if I had the stock system.img could you used that? This is what I did to obtain root..
Download the Lg download utility mode tool '''https://github.com/Lekensteyn/lglaf''
and the sources ''https://pycryptodome.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/installation.html'
Then open cmd in the folder and execute: python lglaf.py --debug --rawshell --cr -c '!S sh' <--- there might be an error message or laf_acess_denied but its okay.
re-enter the command: python lglaf.py --debug --rawshell <--- this should open up an interactive shell..enter ls and see if it lists the files on the device then close the interactive shell
run python extract-partitions.py to get the stock boot.bin but change the file extension to .img
push the boot.img to the device, install magisk manager, patch the boot.img, pull img then flash with fastboot
Nice! We finally get root a couple days after a seemingly innocent fall off my bed wrecked my screen :crying:. Deciding on replacing it or getting a MediaPad M5.
tbh I've rooted this device since last month or so but I really didn't have time to make a tutorial
Is anyone able to pull there kdz? My tab is bricked and ive tried LG bridge and all others! Or the the imgs in need to go back to stock! Any help please! Thanks!

Thanks to Vincent_vann I have root. With this I can finally start building a custom TWRP for this tablet. I wish we had a forum for this device. I requested one last year but it still hasn't been made even though it was approved. If I get one built, and there isn't a dedicated forum, I'll post it in this thread.
Just built TWRP. I noticed some folks asking for stock recovery, boot, and system img files. I have recovery and boot img. Not sure where to post these though. Same with twrp. If someone has any reccomendations on how to go about this I'll gladly provide.
I have the Canadian variant (v533) and wouldn't mind giving TWRP a whirl on it. All specs are same so I think it'll work. Don't mind testing if you do get somewhere to post TWRP. Also good job on getting it compiled ?

Thank you! Unfortunately with nougat file based encryption TWRP has issues with decrypting /data after the setup of the tablet. So it's working 50% which is annoying because you'll have to wipe data whenever you want to flash something. Not a big deal for roms, but very inconvenient for other zips. If you still want it let me know and I'll find a place. Else I'll be tackling the decryption issue this weekend.

Help porting TWRP to the Optus X Spirit/ Alcatel U5 / Alcatel 5044T

I want to port TWRP to the 5044T which I believe is a Alcatel U5 which was sold as an Optus X Spirit
I want to create a backup of the device using MTK Tools before I start destroying my IMEI etc.
The MTK Tools 2.5.3 when run on this phone using USB debugging reveals the following:
Hardware : MT6737M
Model : 5044T
Build number : MRA58K release-keys
Build date UTC : 20171103-051806
Android v : 6.0
Baseband v: MOLY.LR9.W1444.MD.LWTG.MP.V81.6.P59, 2017/11/03 13:15
Kernel v : 3.18.19 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.8 (GCC) ) #1 SMP Fri Oct 27 10:41:26 CST 2017
But it also stops there saying the following on the right:
--->>> Connect to device <<<---
--- ERROR : --- TotalBytesPerChunk Not Found. Set default Page/Spare=2048/64 !!!
--- Unknown ROM structure, backup NOT possible!
ATTENTION! File /system/recovery-from-boot.p which restore factory recovery in case of phone switching on in a normal mode Is Found!
I think I need a scatter file or to understand how to build one in order to continue? Can anyone with experience help me? I can follow instructions so long as their windows 7 64 or ubuntu compatible? I would still need help with the porting process for TWRP, I read a few guides, one didn't tell explicitly what to do but gave a general overview and up to you to learn the steps individually. The other guide I read was specific but didn't tell you what the specific command entered would do.
Please help, I'd like to backup and root this device and i'm willing to by a couple more of them for testing/rooting/porting purposes.

Well for starters is your device 64bit?
Pretty sure MTK root tools does not support x64 bit architecture
Also generating a scatter file is not an easy task(nor safe)

Yes I believe the device is 64bit, 6.06gb used of 8gb so cpu must be 64bit? Also chipset MT6737M is 64bit capable.
So I now understand that MTK Tools incompatible with 64bit? Who wrote MTK Tools and how do I influence them to them to update it?(prolly somthing I should use search to figure out, and I will. And search yeilds that MTK tools thread is under new managment)
scatter file is listing of start memory addresses for the system images? Yeah I can see how finding them in memory without the actual pointers would be difficult but if I may ask for a brief overview of how this kind of dev is done? Do they search memory for partition table or ext2,3,4 innode or somthing? If ya don't have the time please disregard this request.
Also if I buy another Optus X Spirit and mail it to you will you join the fight to free the image from the manufacturers control?(Prolly gonna be white, never seen a black one yet. But i'll put it in a black case as consolation. (BYO SDCard, and you will need one because it starts out with 1gb free!)

There is a 64bit MTK tools thats experimental from my understanding, but last time i attempted use out of it, the tool failed miserably when trying to detect the device.
I have no idea, i havent looked into it, but im pretty sure i rooted a 64bit mtk device before with dirtycow(check out my github root repo for drammer), the tool provides a console output so you can see exactly whats being done, however it also depends on the kernel patch level as this was recently fixed finally after decades without even being heard of.
If your willing to donate a device then sure, im willing to give it a shot.
Ok will try and pick one up tomob i'll send you a pm when I get one to get an address to send it to.
Will probably take a week or so, i'm behind cash wise so I need a little time to catch up.
twrp for alcatel u5
I am looking for working twrp for alcatel u5? anyone can help
I am also interested in this; however, I can't even get the device to fastboot mode. Is it Power + Volume down? Because that just leads me to the battery charging screen. adb does not recognise the device.
Dont think you can
I think this is what your looking for. Never use to be there. so someone has discovered it hardreset.info/devices/alcatel/alcatel-optus-x-smart/fastboot-mode/

Is there no fastboot method? Because otherwise I will not know another way to flash a custom recovery.
Use NCK dongle to backup your rom and imei, i personally have done it,
But using nck dongle you will not get the pre loader and 1 or 2 other files also will be missing, but it backs up the main system etc and also give you a scatter file,
Dont try to flash U5 firmware to it either it will give you chip error mismatched,
Alternatively you can obtain a full backup of each partition with SP flash tools read back option,
To do this use NCK dongle, open it once open select chip type as MT6737 then on the same page click "boot info" now plug the device in switched off and it will read all of your partition adresses and save them in a txt file,
From the txt file enter each address into SP flash tools readback option and it will backup each partition perfectly including the preloader,
As for flashing TWRP you can use SP flasht tool just click on the recovery tab and select the TWRP image when available,
I havent had a full chance to have a look at if it has fastboot or not but it definitely does not have Meta connection to it only flash so far ive found,
With entering fastboot also have yous tried through adb,
Adb reboot bootloader
? Does that not work i have a chinaphone MT6572 that has no visual fastboot only a black screen but i can issue fastboot commands such as getvar and what not maybe worth a try ill be doing the same when i get some time to look at it only just got it to day
Hey all managed to have a look at it today,
Turns out the optus X spirit is not actually 5044T vit rather 5044D but flashing U5 firmware has been prohibited as optus have added something to it to prevent it from flashing,
As for fastboot mode thats a no go it dosent have it,
Dev options has OEM unlock but what goods that when nothing can be done with it and as its a production build it cannot be remounted to add SU binary or Magisk binary for root, and cant remount with adb insecure as it requires root to run,
All my other rooting apps have failed but ill keep delving into it to see if something can be done about it as fastboot can after all be added to it as its within the firmware and is more than likely disabled within the build.prop im thinking.
Es file explorer can access /system and all contents within aswell as copy from but nothing can be deleted or copied to /system without root privledge,

Yes it is it is also officialy called Element5 or Element 5 (I don't know if that space between the T and 5 changes anything) plus I see it called as you posted and also called something with a C. Can't remember. I will post device info by CPU Z screen shot will that help?

Hey mate,
Your right out of luck there unfortunately i cant find firmware anywhere for it which is very unusual theres no reference to the model number anywhere for firmware
Wow these phones are absolute peices of ****,
So there's OEM unlock in developer options, BUT
Theres no fastboot at all, and also when pulling a backup of the friggen firmware it cant be flashed back optus have done something to it so it wont pull the preloader and a few other files, and what files it does pull wont flash back with SP Flash tool anyway gives an error & when trying to load the scatter file after the failed flash it cant be loaded again gives alot of errors with the file and nothing can be loaded to be flashed,
Also with the model number these are actually 5044T as SP flash tool confirmed this but also compatible with 5044D firmware as i used the .exe for 5044D to try and flash it and it would have if optus didnt block the international code to block the flash from happening,
Ill keep stabbing at it but im thinking the OEM unlock is purely there for asthetic purposes only unfortunately so without being able to flash anything back to it its not even worth editing the recovery and packing it with TWRP ramdisk as it cant even be flashed

Look for other versions of firmware for it that sre qualcomm and not mediatek,
These mediatek can traditionally use T & D firmwsee if it wasnt for the flash block,
Just make sure they are qualcomm worth a try as i still cant find a firmware for your model but if i do find one ill get the link to you here

Yeah go on ill get details and give it a whirl if i can get root shell access i can push my TWRP i made to it through ADB shell thats all thats stopping me from trying that,
Also made a philz_recovery.img for it but cant test it as the scatter wont load to flash the recovery im trying to build a scatter as i found it wont load due to illegal information within the scatter.file itself through some investigation, i just have to find the illegal info & remove it to allow flash hopefully
But if i can get root & root shell i can just push it and if all works i can just upload the method here on how to do it until i work the scatter out
Had a bit of success,
Ive finally managed to pull the preloader and all other missing files,
Now i can make a scatter file that will work for it hopefully and i can port a recovery to it for rooting,
Ill update progress as i go

ADB doesn't see Android 4.4.2 on Windows 8.1

Hi,
I followed your instructions, but my God damned Windows 8.1 doesn't see my God damned Android 4.4.2, so I "adb devices" command -- pc doesn't see my Android. "file transfer (MTP) files" command is useless.
Is there any of you in the whole wide world could help me?
My phone is in recovery mode can't boot stuck in boot loop.
Nobody answeres. This is said to be the best geeks' forum.
Sorry, I am disappointed, fed up, etc. as none of you give a damn about my f***ing problem.
Thx if any...
You could try using the latest adb and some universal driver ***,
but not much use from ADB really, if it has a stock recovery Then also
making update zip s could be problematic... signing...
Best to try contacting the manufacturer or seller, what ever, and try to get the firmware + tools.

http://hungaroflotta.hu/page-7.html
http://hungaroflotta.hu/contact.html
If no luck, try to find out its soc. You could even try to open the damn thing...
Or just assume it's a MTK. If so -> MTK drivers, DroidTool, Wwr, SP_FlashTool, etc..
and make a backup. Worked ok? Good! Now find someone having the same piece of...
and ask her to do the same and share his system...
Good luck! :fingers-crossed::good:

Taking a full backup first might be a good idea.
SP_Flashtool should do the trick. You probably
can use the scatter file from that rom dump.
Or make your own: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21970.html

Sub forum changed... Okay, let us continue here if needed.
Though you should be able to fix that damn thing now...
:victory:
Thank you so much for making such a hard effort to help me! ?
I'll do my best and will keep you informed.
Partitions "nvram" and in in my case also "pro_info" are important backups.
Nvram contains IMEI values etc... anyway it can be important to save it/them.
And pro_info might have some extra values defined in it. At least if the device
has some faked firmware showing wrong hardware values like in my case.
Then there might be some real values needed, defined there along with the faked ones...
I'm no MTK expert but managed to fix my tablet by restoring those partitions...
Ehh!
I've read all the info you linked. ????
OMG!
Well, I guess that I should download the rom.
After that do I have to do all the instructions?
How will my pc be able to see my phone?
I need no data backup.
I swear I got in touch with the store in which I bought the data cable and asked if it is really a data cable and not just a charging one.
I can do anything I just need to know the steps to be taken one by one.
There is no way to see the system files on my dead phone to be able to delete the rest files of SELinuxModeChanger?
Thanks for your kind reply in advance!

1. I can relate your "shock". That Wwr route isn't the easiest one, I can imagine.
Haven't done it myself. Maybe that SP_FlashTool + scatter file is enough for
the backup. If you have those IMEI numbers saved you probably can skip
the backup, but as I said I'm no expert, so you might want to do some
Googling before deciding anything...
2. Install the MTK drivers (search). any tool will need them too.
3. IDK. Maybe someone else has an answer to this?
Checked. The stock recovery doesn't use test keys, so making update zip is not possible.

Easiest would be that the vendor would give you a full OTA/recovery update zip package.
(Not such that just patches the old one. ) That most likely would fix it.

Yep. Thanks.
Well, actually the antivirus Zemana asked if I wanted to make SELinuxModeChanger a part of the system/a system file. I agreed. I made the wrong decision. I used ES File Manager to delete SELinuxModeChanger. Well, I succeeded in half... but failed to delete it from all system maps and couldn't reinstall it again. Rebooted... The rest is history...
I guess phone thinks that it has a corrupted system and that's why it doesn't boot.
Navon... They never ever update. No system security patches ever.
Actually, 1 yr ago I had a problem nobody was able to help. I was advised to take my phone to Navon asking for refurbishing. I had no money and I wanted to fix the problem myself anyway. It took a year, but I found out how to fix it. ES File Manager was the key.

Unfortunately twrp is not compatible with KitKat.

That OTA update needed (at least) one program more (to be run as a service).
Did that too. And I also disabled the firewall that was blocking the connection. :laugh:

While you're are letting go, you could read some stuff linked below. Good
instructions. What to do and what not to do. (Unlike at that "getdroidtips"
site I linked earlier. Some of the tips and articles there are total rubbish.
Mixed stuff copied somewhere else, I guess. Some might work, but not all.
Also they use wrong words in article names to get better Google rankings.)
SP Flash Tool + MediaTek MT65xx drivers download and installation guide including bricked devices
Download MTK Drivers (32 & 64 bit) XP Vista Win7 Win8
Windows 10 MTK VCOM USB Drivers for 32 & 64 bit + Drivers installation tutorial (Might be useful with win8 too.)
Download SP Flash Tool v3 & v5 – Latest versions ( Tip: read to the end)
Remove, Disable & Uninstall MTK USB Drivers and inactive COM Ports – USBDeview (if having driver problems)
(And I also sent you some info in Hungarian already in the previous post. Backup etc.)
Again. just for fun sake, I tried again if my MTK tablet/phone would be recognized by SP flash tool.
No luck. Previously it wasn't a problem. Still, the adb/fastboot works okay.
So, some problem with MTK drivers. I have used SP_Flashtool, BeTools,, even older ones
like WiseLinkTool. And maybe some that were between those two.
Well, I don't have any good reason to fix those driver problems at the moment,
everything works ok, but still it kind of sucks.
Anyway adb/fastboot works okay. And that is the problem mentioned originally in the title.
So, does the fastboot work?
With fastboot, if it works, you might be able to boot some modified recovery without flashing and then maybe do some backups etc.
My adb driver package, mentioned in my signature has some options to remove the
old adb installations and the old (maybe problematic) values from the registry...
USBDeview is better choice in some situations though...

Creating twrp for MOQI I7S

Decided to create a new thread, since it covers a different topic. I'm trying to create TWRP for the MOQI I7S which has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 710. I've tried various tutorials on porting TWRP, but it ends up with the MOQI being stuck at the boot logo. Is there any way someone can help me, or someone can just port TWRP for me? I have an older firmware which should suffice for making TWRP.
Firmware: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Hne3x3LY1LnKgurlNYK8trr-wHPD1fCD/view
Sorry for the double post but I need a favor from any user with a MOQI I7S. I need to extract files boot_a.bin and boot_b.bin using QFIL, but they need to be as clean as possible, so I can't use mine. It could help me with rooting the device without issues and eventually install TWRP for everyone. PM me if you need help with extracting those files.
Hello. I hope its not too late and you still can do this ? I've got mine i7s near a month ago and before doing anything else I dumped backup from it. Too bad, that for this phone there are no firmwares, so this was my first action for it. I uploaded files you asked as attachments
All this time I use mine device with magisk root without any problems, so, I guess, root through boota is quite safe and stable. I also have uploaded magisk-modified boot, if you'll need it
One thing I want to add: I hadn't succeeded to use QFIL version you'd uploaded. Had succeeded with tool QPST_2.7.496
I hope this will help!

This archive have all files dumped from phone after buying, except userdata file for now. Despite this file is almost empty, its size is ~60Gb so I can't upload it anywhere.
Also, archive containts png with partitions addresses.
WARNING: as I understand, simple flashing of these files can replace your phone IDs and other serial numbers! In that case phone can not boot at all. If I'm wrong, correct me, please. Hope it'll help
PS: Better try asking manufacturer for the correct firmware files

Stock Rom or partitions for Huawei Y6 2018 [ATU-L21]

Hi, i tried to install a custom rom in my device (y6 2018 ATU L21) and an error ocurred due to my ****ty usb cable, so now im in a big trouble because the phone is bricked.
I backup some partitions before the accident such as kernel, ramdisk but guess what, the most important (system.img) is corrupted and i can't do anything.
The phone boots and shows huawei logo and then black screen forever, i can't access TWRP nor Erecovery, im completly stuck.
I searched on "Huawei Firmware Finder" but any of the ROMs for ATUL21 works (some of them have missing partitions) so now i only depend on the community, if there is any good person that has this phone and wants to help me by sharing the partitions to me i will appreciate such act of generosity, if you want to help me you can follow those steps (Need to be root):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-twrp-backup-current-partitions.3853831/
If you have any stock rom that works for this model im glad to accept it .
Have a good day.
I think I have this for you:

Hello, it's been a while since the post but I still need your help. I have the same problem as describe. I downloaded the file from the nice man. Tried to flash it with fastboot but the phone still has the same problem. maybe you can solve your problem and can help me.
I only have access to fastboot because the rest doesn't work. maybe you also have a custom ROM that works on the device, which doesn't necessarily have to be original software.
Thanks in advance

Hi, this is what i have done to recover the phone. First, there is one mistake that i made and it was trying to flash the files from fastboot, you can't do that because the phone is bricked, instead you need to download the firmware from "Huawei Firmware Finder" and then you need to dissasemble your phone to press the test point. look at this video for reference huawei test point once your PC is going to recognize your device as 'COM' on the device manager, and then you need to use a tool to flash the firmware, i can't share with you the tool since i have switched to Linux distro and i don't use Windows anymore. But if you were smart enough to flash your phone i think with a little bit of search you are gonna find.
Good Luck and have a good day.
Hello thanks for the answer, I have already downloaded stock roms from 2 different sites, both are the same.There are many subfolders in the file but after a long search you can find some .app files right? What should I do with the file exactly? Flash this directly? If so, do you happen to remember the name? Or did you extract the various files from this file, such as "Boot" or something else?
