hi
my phone is bricked and as i unlocked the bl moto voids the warranty.
i need help if someone is ready to do the following:
Get an external MicroSD card with “exfat” system file, and the size of this SD card should be larger than 16 GB, which is the size of the whole partition.
Do a complete factory reset on the phone. If a custom recovery is installed, use it to wipe data, cache, and internal storage.
While the sdcard is in the phone, run the follow commands via adb
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard1/backup.img bs=512 count=30535646
The size of the backup.img is around 16 GB, However, if compressed would be about 2 GB
then upload the emmc image so i might have a chance to unbrick
using hdd raw copy tool
UPDATE 2017-feb-02:
moto replaced my unit
You should be more clear in what's your problem, what your situation and what you would try to do...
it's hard brick
no screen on
detected by computer as com port:
qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008
meaning u can only access it as described here:

Oh man... How this could be happened exactly?
Anyway, instructions you provided could be right (I know quite all programs involved...), only some notes:
- it's better to use a just formatted PC to do the work (and be ready to reformat eventually). Use Windows 7 64 bit and Administrator user to have no hassle...
- it's not really needed to factory reset phone before backup command... Problem is that if someone don't, you'll restore all his private data too...
- external SD is not really needed as ext4... Even exFAT would be fine (only problem is the 4GB limit of FAT32). exFAT is even better because it could be read on Windows PC too (by who will send it to you...), while ext4 requires linux PC or some software on Windows...
Said that, I really can't, but there are A LOT of user here that are testing some firmware every day (read: e.g. testing for @janjan ) that can help you for sure... Stock software isn't really needed to unbrick: only a rooted working one is enough...
Good luck bro'...
thanks
data is no problem as u cannot access it anyway..
what i remeber is that i flashed retcn nougat
it booted and even id:n/a was reolaced with real id number
then wanted the us version so fastbooted verison system files
then rebooted to this brick

Same thing here... , please share if you solved it.
I took my moto to motocare, hopefully they can repair it or maybe apply warranty (finger crossed)
is your bl unlocked ?
plz report if they honor warranty

Pal, put a short request and a link to this help thread in this discussion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/twrp-ported-to-moto-z-eu-version-t3470920

Did you followed these steps described in above links. I can take a look if you are close to my country Denmark. Can you boot in bootloader mod? Did you look at RSD ? Many possibilities there but difficult to help someone without the device. Hopefully you can solve your problem.

Are you sure that's how it works, cause mine is also from UK, but I live in Poland, and the idea of sending it to the other side of the continent if something happens sound kind of silly to me, I mean, can't they just let you ship it to your closest Motorola service
no
i contacted mot us and they only deal with us units
had to contact moto uk
janjan
this brick means no screen
no bootloader or recovery mode
not fastboot or adb
only com port via qualcomm utility

Good news ! MOBO collaborates with Motorola here in mexico on repairing devices, I took my device to them and left it there for a couple of days. Today I phoned them to see the status, IT'S REPAIRED! :highfive:
thanks
will send it to moto then
hope uk are ok as mex
Is this issue resolved? If not may be I can assist you fix this issue. I too went through same steps.
it's not resolved
if u succeeded plz give some info how
i got sahara fail every time
Ok... You need to manually flash using fastboot command the firmware xt1650.246.45 (search blog you will find it, I can't remember link right now). Ignore any error messages while flashing.
After flashing, boot to recovery (stock recovery that was flashed manually earlier). Choose update from ADB, now sideload nougat firmware. After completion again boot to recovery and clear cache. Now you are done.
But your bootloader must be unlocked for this.
Thanks.
u missed big time
had i got any fastboot access then it was not bricked
unless u have found a way to fastboot in "qualcomm 9008 mode"

I had on the phone 059N169_1600.3013.8107.11502. Then I update to 059M5Z7_1600.3015.8107.12070. I did it by the recovery option in the NCS. This version hasn't my language and I tried to change to 059N3S9_1600.3014.8107.12050.
When my phone was rebooted, the computer detected it other than ever. I saw Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM and removable disk with question about formatting. I clicked cancel but NCS does not detect the phone. My computer couldn't install driver for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM.
I tried to do refurbish and recovery on 3 computers. I always got the same result.
Can anyone help me?
no solution

I have the same problem, and I guess our only hope is the official tango update from zune.
I think the official tango update from zune nothing will change. I think that the Zune also does not recognize the phone after the restart.

By formatting that disk you accidently removed the bootloader from your Lumia. See this thread for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587650, specifically THIS post.
I don't know if it possible to recover from this. You might want to try to perform a recovery flash instead of the more general refurbish one. Instructions can be found on this forum or by a quick google (here for example). Please note that as you have formatted the bootloader partition your phone might not even want to go to the recovery mode (most likely this requires a working bootloader), in that case your phone is bricked . Good luck.

If the recovery flashing method I linked in my previous post does not work I think your phone is in an unrecoverable state (bricked). It may be that some-one else here knows how to recover, but missing/corrupted bootloaders usually mean you have to use something like JTAG to recover. And that's a difficult proces which in most cases requires hardware modifications (soldering and such). Currently no such details for the lumia exist.
Of course Nokia can fix your phone but since you tried flashing the phone yourself that is gonna cost you some money i'm afraid.

wow why would you even try to format anything of your phone. It will take lots of time for some gurus here to help you get back the bootloader.

as I read all threads about that magic storage mode , you need to get it in storage mode (seen as a drive) and then you can try to copy the stuff posted here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24607410&postcount=25 ) to the partitions found on your phone .
yes I know you have another phone but it is a try to get a bootloader on that phone again , after that you could try to flash a normal bootloader and rom for your phone.

IF it still boots to usb disk mode, you can recover. You need a dd dump from the 3rd partition of the phone, or from some other phone (lumia 710, don't try with 800 since partition layouts will be different) and dump it back. You should get your 3rd bootloader back. If you messed up the entire partition table OR you deleted the first partition... you made a pretty good mess.
dd dump

BE CAREFUL WITH THE 64KB SIZE PARTITION. IF YOU MESS IT UP YOU LOOSE NETWORK.

boot into usb disk mode, dd dumped 3rd partition then dd it back, but when I plug phone into windows 8 there is still the format prompt.
Did u mean that I need dd dumped from a health 710?
At least Disk Mode is still working
Yes, you need a dump from a working phone. If you feel brave, you can try with the copy from my lumia 800: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lllk9lx8972t63k
Windows will always tell you the partition needs to be formatted, but you HAVE to press cancel, otherwise youll break it again. Windows cant see into any of lumia's partitions, but with linux you can see the contents and modify them.
Try to dd the partition to the phone, then run 'sync' on the terminal, then unplug the phone, hold 10 seconds the power button to turn it off and try to turn it back on normally. If the rest of the partitions are fine, it should boot, with all your data intact...
serial mode

my phone still works normally, and usb mode is fine too. The only thing not working seems to be serial mode, and I can't use recovery or refurbish flash in nokia care suit.
I won't try files from lumia 800 through, but thx anyway.
Maybe who have jtag pinout for this phone (710) (800)
It got bricked after trying to update through FLASHER 2.1 The ADB Shell on Sony AIO Tool not work. Option 6 Run Shell does nothing. Tablet gets stuck on the S.O.N.Y logo and I can enter the recovery screen, however no access through the USB to my files, already try the factory reset and still nothing. I would even consider installing the official firmware even if a lose root. I don't have the_hack_recovery.zip or any key. What can I do? I've been looking for solutions for over two days now.
I tried running the signed-nbx03_016-ota-120803071.zip and it didn't work, I'm looking everywhere for the signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip which should work for me, since my tablet was bought in the U.S. but it isn't available anywhere. I can't access the tablet through the ADB Shell, I press option 6 on the main menu and it does nothing. When I'm in the recovery mode I can see windows asking for drivers for a device named Sony, but none of the adb drivers work. If I go to the Sony logo I have it recognizes the MTP USB device and it looks ok for about 40 sec. and then it puts the yellow exclamation mark. I really need to get this tablet fix,
I'm willing to donate $40.00 through paypal to the person that helps me restore it.

I am uploading that file as i type. Since you have done a factory reset..... USB debugging would have reset to default (off) so even if you manage to install the drivers, USB debugging will NOT work.
I had the same (well similar) issue, it was stuck on the boot animation and although it was caused by different things I could not fix it and had to send it to Sony. Good news though, they did not noo I messed with it and repaired it free and IT SHOULD BE BACK TODAY

YES, only Sony can fix it.
I also faced the similar trouble one month ago.
And they free for me to replace the motherboard without any inquiries but my device's situations.
When they asked what I did, I said, nothing was done just suddenly can not boot, and force to restore the factory can't be solved the problem in the recovery mode. Okay! They said, just waiting less than 3 days. 3 days later, they sent a text message, and told me to pick up Tablet.
But a little guilt in my heart because I rooted my device and deleted a system file without rescue-backdoor.

Hi Joseph CZ, perhaps you could try with adb via USB (from SDK tools), I'm not sure, though.
I think the easiest way is rooting and moving what you want...

you can try cmahendra sir's 2 in 1 guide or if you can, go service centre, tell them that a update (0TA) showed, AND THEN this is happening. they will.install software for you. as warranty is over, they might charge (5$ here) for software work. I did a hell lot deep **** then you, kept working 6 hours, but wasn't able to fix the phone,went service centre and now typing via same phone.

man service centre, like you have for Nokia, Samsung etc, you can Google LG mobile service centre around your locality,.
doesn't matter it's metro or p778,768,765,760 etc etc etc.
as your warranty is over, you have no fear of them saying warranty void, as ultimately they will charge for the software transaction.
and I know how it feels to see your phone dying on you.
JUST DONT LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT ROOTING /BL/FASTBOOT .act like a dumb and tell them that you were trying to update your software by the wifi (software update OTA) and now this happened.
sweet talks makes way everywhere.

I've recovered my p760 three times with the LG Tool and its Upgrade Recovery option.
I don't know why it doesn't work for you.

I can see in device manager onlu com port modem and usb
Hi @Aristodikos1, you have an option for installing the drivers in the LG Tool (up- left corner). If the on line tool sees your L9 that's enough, just follow the steps : Update / Tools / Upgrade recovery.
I'm not on my computer right now.

I'm just wondering if you can completely Hard Brick a LG G2 to a point, where there is no revive possible.
I can purchase a cheap LG G2 international version, but the seller says that he broke it during flashing a Kernel.
Can you for example revive a phone,that had a Kernel from completely different phone flashed?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my C6503 using Tapatalk 2
If it's true he only flashed a new kernel then u can restore it. If he messed with the partitions then.... No. If he used a broken usb cable and fried it....
Well ask to try the phone before u by it. Also check if it's stolen
Alright, I gathered some more information from the seller.
He tried updating TWRP, but he followed wrong instructions from some website.
He can´t enter Recovery or Download Mode on the Phone.
The Display is active, but only Backlight.
When he connects the Phone to his Computer, it shows multiple Mass Storages, but the LG Software doesn´t recognize it.
Is this a common problem, that is easy to fix, or should I rather wait for another Deal to come up.
p.s. I asked him for a receipt, and he says that he has one.

If the guy was updating through TWRP, he probably have some knowledge on the matter, and the chances that he bricked it for good is high.
When I messed up my G2 a few times, being able to enter in download mode was the hint that the phone was revivable, if him really can't enter the download mode, then it is probably a bigger problem.
But the question is, by buying this possible lemon, how much will you be saving compared to buying a brand new?
If it's showing up like that, if you have a Linux machine you may be able to use dd to flash factory images to the partitions. There is a guide to it somewhere on here. But even if you were successful in flashing those, it really depends on how badly he screwed it up. In particular I really hope he didn't damage or wipe his efs. Or at least has it backed up.
Honestly, I'd point him to the right guides and have him fix it. If he screwed up his efs, or messed the partitions up, or fried something, it's dead and not coming back. If all he did was flash a kernel in twrp and it was actually from this phone and it was just a bad download or flash or something, then you'd probably be okay, but if that were the case you'd get a secure boot error and still be able to enter download mode. Personally, I would not buy a phone that won't boot, especially if the seller isn't even sure what's wrong with it.

sounds recoverable, if there is a backlight and mass storage comes up that's good, you can dd partitions with linux
no backlight + no recognizable usb device at all = bricked
still, buy at your own risk
It is.. i just did by flashing a broken rom.. sent it to the repair center and they replaced the motherboard
Right, I asked him if the Device shows as qhsusb_bulk in device Manager, and it does.
The only thing that worries me, is that there is no Boot Logo, most of the people in the Linux Fix Thread atleast get a LG Logo and not just Backlight.
I´m really unsure what to do, I can save like 150€ by buying the broken G2, but well . . . I dont know if I can fix it.
Another problem is, that I have not a single clue on how to operate Linux/Ubuntu, and the only real fix requires either of those

Just look up a guide on how to install an Ubuntu virtual machine. You should be able to connect your G2 to that virtual if you let it capture the USB port. If you can get it cheap, buy it and try to negotiate so you might have a chance on selling it for higher later on if you can't fix it. To me though, it sounds quite fixable, I would go for it.

this doesn't really matter, when I was trying to mess with the bootloader and corrupted it a few times I've never had the LG logo, as long as it comes up as storage you can DD it - the only time its a true brick is with no backlight and no usb device
if theres no boot logo you probably need to DD the aboot in

I had that problem when updating TWRP too. You have to be careful because these recoveries are only made for specific firmware versions. I cant remember how I fixed the issue after only being able to get a backlight on and no image, but I did fix it and my phone works fine. I do think you will need the TWRP files already on the phone to fix though, so you can somehow manage to flash back. They will need to be on the phone since you can push anything via ADB

i've been in this bricked situation when i was trying the 4.4.2 update manually...completely bricked, could not get into download mode too...so gave it to the service centre which at first said the main board will have to be changed when recovering through software upgrade failed...next day i got the phone back as they managed to flash the software back on it...
does not end here...i tried to flash optimus g pro 2 rom through twrp and same thing happened again...but was lucky this time as i could enter download mode and flashed kdz to recover...

And yes i truly believe that our device can be hard bricked like i did mine today.
I tried to compile a custom bootloader for G2 using Qualcom's sources and fraction of LK. But in doing so i left my phone in a quasi-state where it will not connect as a usb device coz it does not pass the bootloader (Although bootloader is working as it should). .
So the only two option remain here for me is
1. To send phone back to LG service center where they'll do idk what.
2. To use JTAG or short the ic (Wonder if it could be done ) i.e manually open the phone and boot into the primary bootloader(Qcom legacy BL).
See that's how you can hard brick ur phone the right way

But it did work coz our bootloader enfoces the signature check not in the sbl.(Our Primary boot loader)
i'm sure of it because it tries to go to download option but freezes at initial stage.
had it been the case my device would've been detected as qucom_bulk device or so..

You my dear friend are a victim of a curroupt bootloader seqence(NOT THE CoRRUPT BOOTLOADER) i.e
Your phone would start something like
1- EFI initialization ok
2-Primary Boot Load -ok
3-Vendor Boot Load -ok
4- Error unable to find proper boot sequence- system halted
So ur best options are the one that i've stated just above this thread.
My case. I root and flash custom recovery then apply OTA = medium brick. Download mode was not functioning, only recovery. To make matter worse, I flashed KK stock rom through ADB in recovery = super brick. Then I went to LG service center with poker face asked for reparation. They asked (confirm) whether your phone is rooted or not (they had already know though) and I just said like It is my sister's phone. Then they they open the phone and maybe directly format the sd card with some stuff. My phone is restored again afterward. In my opinion, software modification can always be repaired unless you fry your phone through overclock or overvolt.

Hi guys!
I think I did something stupid while updating my XT1650-03 to Nougat.
What I did was manually flash stock nougat ROM (retbr) through fastboot, following the instructions within flashfile.xml, but, as I've read some bad things about the updated bootloader I stupidly decided not to flash it. The result is that it won't power up, even though I've tried: pressing power+vol. down; power; plugging the charger; fastboot commmands ( I was hoping it was just the screen that was off); to no avail.
I've noticed that when I plug the usb cable to the computer it plays that sound of connected devices.
Any suggestions? I'm probably going to have to take my device to authorised repair (off warranty, I know), but they usually take weeks to fix anything, so you guys are my best bet for now.
Thanks in advance!

Don't even bother going to the service center. The same happened with my device and they refused to give me the warranty. Motorola voids it the moment you get the unlock code. So my device was dead for 3 months. And I fixed it few days back. The good news is that your PC is detecting the device.
I will post the solution with a new thread in few minutes.

So, I'm totally lost.
As I posted in the thread above, even though Manish54 has been very kind to help, that solution did not work for me, so I've been trying to find another way. The thing is, this issue is beyond my comprehension. I'm not new to flashing and stuff, but I am new to moto Z. I understand that I should've been more careful and also have read a bit more before starting to mess with a new device, so feel free to judge me .
For instance, I don't know what fsg.mbm, adspso.bin, BTFM.bin and oem.img are for, since my old phone didn't have those (or at least I didn't need to mess with those), and I also don't know it they're relevant to my problem. If anyone could point me to some info on that, it'd be greatly helpfull.
Besides that, I've found mentions to tools like qualcomm's BoardDiag and QPST QFIL, but I'm not really sure if they apply for my situation, or even if I can manage to adapt the guides I've found to work on the Moto Z.
Any help is very much appreciated!
Thank you!

hello friends, I'm with hard brick on the moto z xt1650-3
due to an update via ota, when my bootloader was unlocked I was in the android oreo (8.0), however I went back to 7.0, due to an update via ota, the device did not call anymore, I tried several blankflash and nothing, I am very annoyed at this, thinking of dropping my hand, I took some assists nobody can solve, I hope someone here can help me, at least inform me something that is useful to recover my cell phone.
my cell phone is still recognized as "qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 (com3)

Hey, my phone was dead two (brazilian xt1650-03), i spent three days struggling until i could bring him back. Thanks to the help in this forum. Your phone probably has the latest update opls27-76-51-7-july, so it must work:
first, you have to bankflash it with blankflash_OPL_27.76-51, its in the 30+ page topic tutorial here in this forum. Very important, must be in windows 7 or 8, with usb2.0
second, use this rom opls27-76-51-7-july-moto-z. it must work because its the last one. Its not brazilian, evething works fine but the netflix app didnt , but hey, at least our phone is alive again.
The secret is in the version of the firmware instaled before the brick, it must be the rom installed or latest to work
