Hello, a few years ago i have a moto e1 xt1021 that was from my brother, he told me that the phone just died one day, so i'm trying to fix it, 'cause when i connect it to a charger it blinks the white led 1 sec and then it dissapears, so that means it's still living, and also, when i plug it on the computer, it recognizes him like "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", so that is other signal that the problem isn't actually on the battery.
I also tried to plug it in without the battery, and the simbol of the battery missing isn't there.
I tried every method of flashing, including blankfile, but it isn't any blankfile released for xt1021 unfortunately.
I can't even flash it with the "FlashFirmware", because i can't get the phone into the fastboot mode, i can literally just be pressing the buttons for 10 minutes and nothing happens, so i don't know what's the problem.
I already tried using the screen in other phone and it isn't problem of the screen, it works, neither the battery, so, i can't find the reason of the problem, if someone can help me i'll be really happy.
Thanks.

The "only" way to get the phone out of brick is detailed here and here (method 3)... Now we're both on the same hunt: getting an XT1021 owner to generate the "backup.img" file and share it with us, the problem is there's seems to be no users of the Moto E XT1021 nowdays...

Your girlfriend's phone must have unlocked bootloader and have root access, busybox installed and a terminal emulator. Besides, it must have at least 4GB of free space in the SD card since the backup.img will be generated in the SD card.
Open terminal emulator and execute this command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/backup.img bs=1024 count=168960

You cannot enter fastboot since your phone is bricked. You must get out the brick first, that's why you need the backup.img, to boot from the SD Card and enter in a "virtual" fastboot mode where you can flash the stock ROM to restore the phone.

Hiya, I have exactly the same problem. I want to root the device but I haven't been able to complete the first step, unlock bootloader. For the record I also tried KingRoot and KingoRoot to no avail.
I've tried power off with usb cable attached to pc (once charging the Device Manager recognizes as MTP USB device under mobile devices, no fastboot or ADB access); volume up+power (gets to recovery), volume down+power (restarts, no fastboot), volume up+down+power (restarts, no fastboot).
Therefore to be able to unlock the bootloader I need to access fastboot, but there seems to be no way to enter that mode.
I'm in the process of downloading firmware from https://www.gizrom.com/alcatel-a5-led-stock-firmware/ which should obviously help me if I manage to fubar the phone.
But now what? Any suggestions?
EDIT 2019_0326
Read in a post that the encryption keys would e erased when unlocking the bootloader. Since I have the external SD card mapped as internal storage (system setting available from 6.0) maybe that is what is keeping me from entering the fastboot?
The xploit i have works on this model. It grants temp root from a shell. The bootloader may or not be unlocked, depends on if any updates were ever released, etc.... My idol 4 was unlocked from the factory so i got lucky there. Once you have temp root, you may be able to push perm root, depends on how tight the phone is locked down. Ill pm you the file with commands and you can test from that point

So i mess with my z5s recovery and now i'm stuck in fastboot, i can't get out of it, even when i connect a charger or connect the usb into a usb and turn off it boots automatically into it, i need HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Update: I've already solved this problem with some tools and CHINESE TRICKERY to unbrick my hardbricked device, I would make a thread and i'm gonna post the link to the thread on this post later on this day, even with effective IMEI restoration

Hello,
I have a Lenovo Z5s. I wanted to install new android rom like Pixel Experience
I managed to unlock the bootloader with adb fastboot.
I succeeded in flashing TWRP recovery 3.3.1-0529 for my device.
I've downloaded Pixe Experience GSI rom available here https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5...evelopment/lenovo-z5s-pro-twrp-3-3-1-t3953346
I have copied and pasted the Pixel Experience rom (.img file) on my SD Card.
With TWRP, I have wiped necessary files for a clean install.
I have launched the installation of the rom, installation was complete, the phone has reboot, I show Pixel Experience boot sequence with Google logo. The process asked me a password (Encrypted?) . I decided to reboot the phone.
Now, the phone is blocked with a bootloop in recovery mode. I can't access anymore to TWRP recovery. (Erased?)
To explain clearly the situation: I have the menu showing these options: Restart bootloader > Recovery mode > Power Off > Boot to FFBM > Boot to QMM I> Start
FastBoot Mode
PRODUCT_NAME - sdm710
VARIANT - SDM EMMC
BOOTLOADER VERSION -
BASEBAND VERSION -
SERIAL NUMBER - ********
SECURE BOOT - yes
DEVICES STATE - unlocked
No Bootloader, no Baseband.
All of the options return the phone back to the same menu.
The situation seems to be critical (phone bricked) and I can't do anything and I don't know what to do. Is there a chance to save my phone?
Your help will be precious to make my phone work.
Thanks in davance . Best regards.

Hello
I just got the LATAM version of that same phone, and i can tell you that it's gonna take some time to get information, but it will appear in some time.
Indeed, this is the right place, but it seems to be that similar models have variants around the globe, and the Moto G8 Power Lite it's not a priority right now.
I'm waiting the same for my version (XT2055-2), but it's just a matter of patience.
Keep looking on the forum and eventually it will appear some information

Yea I thought as much, motorola seems to be putting out lots of versions of every device. This is by far the worst device I have had in recent memory, seems be missing quite a bit of the usual options available on other recent moto devices. I would have a go at bits myself but it also seems my version of this device has a Chinese bootloader installed, I don't think I will still have this device by the time any work is done I need to change phones quite often for work. Good luck.

The chinese bootloader is something common on Motorola, even i have the same thing. But i guess they gonna come up with something. As per today, the Brazil version of this smartphone started getting Android 10 (with some bugs tho) so i guess Motorola gonna start moving things in the coming weeks

Go to Settings > About Phone > Model & hardware
and it will show you the Model, Serial number and Model(SKU) of the device. Ithing what you are after is the SKU.
Tip: Under the title "Model & Hardware" you should see "Model: moto g8 power lite" in a gray(er) font.
{This may vary between models and versions}
Hope this helps.

It's not possible to unlock the bootloader on the G8 power lite, only the G8/G8 power.
It cannot be done using fastboot but it is certainly possible using the Realtek VCOM USB protocol
Rooting Moto G8 Power Lite
Does anyone know where I can find a decent guide to rooting the G8 Power Lite (if one exists - I know it's only been out a few months)? I've had a Google around and looked on this forum and on reddit but I can't find anything. I haven't done...
forum.xda-developers.com
This video sums it up well
Essentially you need to:
1. download MTKCLIENT from github, works best on Linux IMHO but Windows works too - on Windows you need additional USB drivers and MTK Drivers, which i attached. Use PIP to install the requirements by going into the MTKCLIENT directory and typing into CMD/Terminal: python3 pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Copy the G8 power Lite specific script to the root folder of the MTKCLIENT
3. Open up the phone, remove the plastic covering the cameras and motherboard. Unplug the battery. Short these two pins either by soldering them together or just using something metal - this is only necessary during the flash and then should be removed.
View attachment 5889467
4. Plug in usb cable to the phone but dont connect it to the pc yet. Start the program either by CD-ing to the MTKCLIENT directory and running it via CLI (on Linux: python3 mtk w proinfo,seccfg proinfo.bin,seccfg.bin, If it wont unlock using the custom G8 script, just run this generic command: python mtk da seccfg unlock) or doubleclicking the desbloq_bootloader.bat on Windows. Then short the two pins, keep them shorted and connect the USB cable to the PC. You should see a bunch of code scroling, it will automatically close/end.
5. Unplug USB, remove short circuit from two pins, plug in battery, turn on phone, you should see lines of text during the boot like this:
View attachment 5889471
Bootloader unlocked. Now the only use is ROOT, no custom ROMs or Recoveries available as its vastly different from normal G8 power, which has a Snapdragon CPU and totally different screen. You'll also get a big "CARRIER INVALID" message on the home screen, so after you ROOT make sure to relock the bootloader using the same method but the command is python3 mtk da seccfg lock
I'm almost sure that what I got it's a - Moto g8 Power lite - XT2055-1
So I got the phone long ago and it's been mostly at home and used as a backup by some of my friends.. I can't even remember which person had it last time.
Thing is that I completely forgot about the Motorola protection and after factory reset it keeps on asking for the last used google account which I got no clue which one would be. To make things worst I have no way to find out the IMEI's so that I can use Motorola RSA.
It looks like to me that I can't enter BootRom mode and I can only access preloader mode even tho, I got access to recovery mode and meta mode. I have tried all the key combos I can imagine by now.
I have also tried sp flash tools but I'm getting an error when the process is starting.
I'll drop some more details soon.. thank you.

I did before as far as I recall but I gave up on it I think 'cus I ran into some issues as well.. I'm a bit rusty when it comes to this kind of stuff.. now that I'm reading all again about the tools etc I'm gonna give mtkclient a go and keep you all posted. Thank you again.
First off some questions please.. and I'm running win 11 pro.
What am I suppose to see on the screen when on Brom mode ? or how do I know that I'm on that mode.. obviously that if I'm not the operations just fail.
cant run mtk_gui atm for some reason trying to clear that out.. 'C:\Users\Q\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\shiboken6\libshiboken does not exist'
Also tried bypass_utility_v1.4.2 using dif. key combos always returns 'device in preloader mode, trying to crash..'
mtkclient handshake returns failed 'Preloader - [LIB]: status: handshake failed, retrying..'
I'll keep on trying to understand all this just need my time.. all help appreciated.

for brom/preloader mode you will need to use the shorting method shown in the previously mentioned youtube video, not sure why you're trying mtk_gui and bypass_utility_v1.4.2 , what are you trying to achieve by using them?
Well reading from github where you get the mtkclient I thought that I could unlock the bootloader using the bypass_utility_v1.4.2 just like that.. guess ain't that easy and tbh after reading your previous words also thought that I could try using the mtkclient regardless being via the gui or the terminal.
I have seen some posts about the Brasilian fella and more shorting method but thought that by now wouldn't be needed anymore.. I did have my phone open before 'cause of that.. guess I'll have to have a look again.. my bad.
Thanks again.

you might be able to get into brom/preloader mode by holding volume down button while it is booting but shorting also brings the same result

I do care.. I also care the way some people talk to others behind screens.
Now if you read what I have just said on my previous post and the first post so to get what you/I'm dealing with you will realize that I was stuck on welcome screen, after soft reset, 'cus of FRP, once the last google account used was still active and I had no clue. Just use the search string on youtube that I have mentioned and on the first vid follow the 20k steps to be able to bypass google/android FRP.

Would someone please point me out their fav XT2055-1 roms ?
Thank you.
Requesting someone's backup of emmc so I can unbrick my XT2117-4 Retail(Retus) Moto G power 2021. Stuck in Qusb-HS Dloader 9008 mode after setting active slot to b with nothing on slot b in fastboot. If I could atleast somehow swap back to slot_a I feel like that would work but I don't think that's really a possibility in edl. Mainly the GPT also would be helpful. Motorola/borneo_retail/borneo:10/QZBS30.Q4-43-35-2/f8e93:user/test-keys is the build I was on at the time. My phone is hard bricked not soft bricked. There is no fastboot mode only edl mode with Qcom HS-USB 9008. I believe It got bricked by me switching to slot_b in fastboot mode with nothing on slot_b not even bootloader. Also my bootloader is unlocked and it was rooted with magisk at the Time of hard brick. I believe fastboot set_active_slot b was the command that bricked it or what ever the correct usage of the set active command was if that's not exactly it. I just need the emmc_prog_firehose for SM_KAMORTA_H or SDM662 or SM6115. Whatever the proper name out of those it would be I guess for this phones type.
Can't use LSMA since it's hard bricked it doesn't even recognize anything is plugged in. I need a blankflash file to use with qboot or the emmc_programmer and then use QFIL or QPST possibly. I use Linux and Windows both if that helps at all somehow.
More info from a reply of mine.
REPLY:
"No it specifically warned that there was nothing on b and it was dangerous but I wasn't paying much attention to it because I was watching family guy so I told it to go ahead and switch. Insta brick after that decision. It does warn you though or it did with me on my phone. Whenever you've done it your slot probably wasn't really "empty" in the sense it didn't have a bootloader on it. You can't boot up a phone that's on a slot without even a bootloader on it otherwise you'll literally have nothing to load your boot image in the first place which means no recovery or fastboot either for A/B devices hence you then have a hard bricked phone in emergency download mode afterwards that either needs reprogrammed or deep flashed (If there's really a difference I don't know). I think you still need a firehose_emmc_programmer or Blank-flash file which has a programmer in it to do that though which is what I need. Some phones might have different emergency protocols for that situation or maybe it's been updated since to where it prevents A/B phones from getting stuck in limbo on an empty slot but the XT2117-4 Moto G Power 2021 doesn't it just warns or atleast when I bricked mine. It's nice to have the option for developer and testing purposes probably or just as a way to get into EDL Mode. I just wasn't paying as much attention as I should have been while tweaking my phone. I'm not a developer or expert though so someone correct me if I'm mistaken somewhere but I have atleast an alright understanding of what's going on I hope from my experience with rooting/rooted phones. A/B partitioning is still kind of a weird newer thing to me since I haven't done much after bricking my G Power and I was used to System As Root before that."

Yes every time it says fastboot flash single partition failed
Hello guys. I have this device and I'll help you. Mine's not rooted yet which is why I came to ask a question and accidentally clicked this thread. Tell me what I need to do to get what you need and I'll do it. i don't know how to use a mouse in TWRP and it sounds like that's what you need. I have a wireless mouse with a usb dongle but no type-c otg at the moment. I just found out from another post in here about using twrp from a terminal. I need to learn more about that too. Dude made a kernel backup with an adb twrp command. I asked him about it but have gotten no response.I also only run linux, but may install a windows 11 virtual machine to use LMSA since every lolinet kernel I've rooted so far results in no touch response.
Have you guys tried fastboot flashing the entire lolinet firmware? I just made a tutorial on it. I've never had a problem that wouldn't fix and I have quite a bit of experience....

I'd bet that would fix it. It re-writes all partitions.

Ok. I have a question as I've never used a mouse with my phone before. Are you guys using a mouse through OTG to use im TWRP? To help you any time soon I'll have to find info for using TWRP with ADB commands as I don't think I have the hardware to use my mouse.
Edit: I found information faster than I thought I would. I looked it up in the past and could find nothing but it's a new feature.

Okay, that would require me to factory reset because I won't send a backup of my logged in system. I would do that if I thought it would help, but it won't. I don't thiink amyone has beennable to restore a stock nandroid on these auto-encrypting motos. If I''m wrong, and I may be, show me. I've tried many times and many ways. I have been able to restore custom backups, but never stock.

I feel your pain. You have tried the obvious
fastboot set_active a
of course? I'm not trying to be a smartass. You just may have switched slots with twrp and don't know the fastboot command.

Ok. How was it that you switched slots and got stuck? I want to experiment but I don't want to make the same mistake.
Also, if your bootloader is locked, aren't you still under warranty? Can you make a warranty claim?
If not, you may be able to unlock it in your current state which might make fixing it easier. You could try
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
and if it returns some lines of code you can likely unlock it now.
With a locked bootloader you are very limited and my twrp backup of a RETUS would have had no chance at all of helping you unless you happen to have a factory unlocked US variant.
I had it rooted and the bootloader unlocked...then i tried to follow a flash back to stock and re lock boot loader guide....but now when it boots it says no valid os or i can go into fastboot and thats about it....

Have you tried to unlock it again with the same code? I have never even tried to relock a bootloader. I may have nightmares. If you still have the unlock email I would try that.

So sorry. If i think of anything else I'll let you know. I think relocking your bootloader with an altered kernel was a bad idea, but I think relocking your bootloader is a bad idea anytime.
My phone is hard bricked not soft bricked. There is no fastboot mode only edl mode with Qcom HS-USB 9008. honestly a mmcblk0 backup would definitely help if anyone would want to backup and then pm me a link or something. I believe It got bricked by me switching to slot_b in fastboot mode with nothing on slot_b not even bootloader. Also my bootloader is unlocked and it was rooted with magisk at the Time of hard brick

If I could atleast somehow swap back to slot_a I feel like that would work but I don't think that's really a possibility in edl. Mainly the GPT also would be helpful. Motorola/borneo_retail/borneo:10/QZBS30.Q4-43-35-2/f8e93:user/test-keys is the build I was on at the time.

LSMA won't work because my phone won't turn on its stuck in emergency download mode and so LSMA doesn't even detect device
Hey guys I’ve been here once or twice before but it’s been a while. I have some in the ass and I need your help please. I’ve been working at unlocking the boot loader on my Motorola Moto G power 2021 for two months now. The reasoning is for that I have no PC nor desktop rather one of my old android phones (Motorola Moto G7 Optimo) That I have had, Trying to figure out how to unlock my boot loader on my Motorola Moto G power 2021. I managed to unlock the boot loader finally but now I’m having issues with trying to install TWRP. My question is is that is there another custom room that I can install with two androids connected to USB – C double cable? I’ve been waiting for a long time to get my phone routed, please help and thanks
If you have one android rooted with magisk, there is an ADB/Fastboot Magisk module that might work for that, but I've never actually tried it. But I'm pretty sure one would have to be rooted. Another option might be to install linux on your phone. I have manjaro linux installed on mine but, again, it is limited without root because of selinux policy. With root, that can be disabled.
I also just noticed adb and fastboot can be installed in termux without root with
pkg install android-tools
You might try that.
If it workS, then YES, you can root without pc. Just 2 Android phones and a doubLe type c cable.

Don't install the TWRP we have now. Just boot it to use it with adb shell commands or a mouse. If you install it you'll get a bootloop, Dude says. I had to use it to extract my kernel for rooting.
Aaaannd the story thickens…. I ended up unlocking the boot loader with the two android phones and a USB – C type. However when I tried to flash Magisk, it flip my phone into a boot loop. Now, Me being the rookie that I am and trying to progress far too quickly, I Have relocked my boot loader and now I have a message which says no valid operating system can be found, will not boot.
Can someone please put me out of my misery and just go ahead and say that I am screwed?
Try to unlock your bootlloader againDamn I can't even type in here. Fgn xda is throwing up an ad over the typing area every time I make a cursor. Ok it finally stopped as I took a screenshot.
Now why on earth are you people trying to relock your bootloaders? I've rarely heard of such a thing and only to try to claim warranty, but I've been here for 2 days and already found 2 people with relocked (possible) bricks on this phone. And there aren't even many people here yet. What gives?
Don't worry yet. I think you're in better shape than the other guy.
If you still have your unlock email try to unlock it again with the same code. If you don't, or that doesn't work run get_unlock_data again and request another code.
BTW, I've never done this twice. So it might not work. If it doesn't, there is another option. Just come back and tell us how it went.
What carrier is your phone?

so yeah I tried it again but the boot loader is still locked however I think the partitions are messed up after I was trying to flash magic and it fell right into a boot loop. Somehow it has actually gotten better and not continuously boot looping I can stay in fast boot but it won’t burn into anything else or power off unless it runs out of battery. But I do have the same code but it’s not taking hit it because OEM unlocking on developer mode is still locked.

So what other plans do you have I’m very curious to know? Also I am through straight talk on a TracFone. I’m also trying to unlock the boot loader on my Moto G7 optimo and I’ve tried the unlock data through Motorola and it says it can’t be unlocked but I think that’s b******t

That used to happen to me a lot in the olden days when I used Windows and would manually type the code. I never know if they are Os or zeros. Now that I use linux I just copy/paste the code quick and easy. If you know that phone with that carrier can be unlocked, keep trying. In Android I know you can copy/paste from the terminal. I hear some carriers make you wait so long before unlocking too, although I've never had a phone with that problem. A good friend told me just the other day he had a Boost phone that they made him wait 6 months to unlock.
As far as plans, I got this phone by accident and dropped and broke the screen the 1st day I had it, before the case arrived. When the case arrived, it was a case for the G9 Power, which I thought this phone was when I ordered it. So, next month I will order the G9 Power since I already have a case and screen protector for it. My last phone was the G8 Stylus (sofiap) and this "Power" just doesn't have the same great battery life. I also had the G7 Power (ocean) and it had excellent battery life. I meant to get the G9 Power for the 6000 mAh battery, but with it's higher resolution screen it's probably no better than this Power. I think all "Power"s should have a 720P screen for the better battery life. or at least a switch to select the resolution you want like on my Galaxy S7.
This phone needs some ROMs though, so if I can find the time, I will do my best to give it a couple, if luck is on my side. Maybe a Resurrection Remix and a crDroid or Bliss. But really, it's whatever I can get to build, so maybe none. Lol.

I think there's still hope for you. I'm trying to figure out which stock firmware version your phone came with. If we can figure that out, I think you can flash and boot it even with a locked bootloader. What splash screen and boot animation does it have? Is it tracphone? I see a US Cellular version. When you boot to the bootloader what does the 1st white line say on the lower left? The BL line?
Also, I assume you got fastboot working phone to phone. I've tried 3 different adb/fastboot installations and can't get it to work (Magisk module, the one from termux pkg install android-tools, and one from github.). Can you tell me how you did it?

Yeah, I hear there is some trick to do it. Maybe in the new powershell (I've never tried it), but highlighting some text and right clicking to copy doesn't work in a command prompt, or it didn't 6 years ago. Did they add that functionality?

Well Damn....now I have one less way to insult Windows. Hey @sd_shadow , you would sure know...can you flash and boot the original firmware that came on your phone (same software channel) with a locked bootloader? Seems like you could but I've never tried it.
And @Bry2025 do you have USB Debugging enabled in Developer Options?

Moto devices can be finicky.
You should be able to flash stock firmware with fastboot, but on windows rsd lite or the newer lsma work more reliably.
On windows mfastboot sometime works when standard fastboot.exe doesn't.
Linux may work better.
USB debugging doesn't effect fastboot mode, it's an adb function.
Edit:for locked bootloader
Booting stock .img may work for some devices

Yes, but I was going to have him run
adb shell getprop | grep build.version.base
to figure out the software channel he needs. With the output I could find the exact build he is/was running on lolinet. That's hoping his bootloop is booting far enough for adb to enable though. adb shell wont work from stock recovery and adb shell from the quamp twrp we're using returns guamp device info. Wtf?

On Linux fastboot seems to be flawless. I'm surprised to hear that it has trouble on Windows. But I think he's running fastboot from another android., which is so cool. Opens a door for root with no pc.

My Moto G power of 2021 is the one that I unlocked the boot loader with the code off of the Motorola site and then I tried to mess with Magis and it ended up boot looping so I tried to lock it again thinking that would help somehow and that’s where I’m at on that one. On the Moto G7 optimo I haven’t gotten anywhere with that one yet however I did get I haven't gotten anywhere with that one yet however I did get the Unlock data and put it on Motorola site and it said it can’t be unlocked. Also sorry but I’m new to this so I don’t understand about the splash screen and boot animation so please let me know what I need to do to give you that information.
Now with the phone to phone android to android, are used the Google app BUGJAEGER 3.0-full (164). Are used the command: fastboot oem unlock <unlock code> . And it unlocked right away.

I just got a laptop and I’m going to attempt to use the command prompt and copy and paste to see if I can get the unlock code for my G7 optimo but on the Moto G power of 2021, I did have all of it unlocked but now since my dumbass locked the boot loader again I can’t get back on the initial platform and get developer tools. If I can get the OEM unlocking toggled back on I probably can unlock it reflash the firmware and boot my phone again
<EVERYONE>
Just to recap, my Motorola Moto G power 2021 is Bootloader locked after Magisk Installation failure. I have messed around with it and have it stuck in Fastboot Mode after it was stuck in bootloop. Some progress but the boot loader is locked again because of a error of mine and now it will not take my unlock code that I used before. Mind you, I did all of this between two android phones and an app called BUGAEGER That is available on Google play
