What all did you flash to try to go back to 5.0? You should never try to downgrade the bootloader (motoboot.img) or the partition table (gpt.bin).

Flashing just system.img doesn't brick so either you did something else or this is a hardware problem.

I am assuming you have tried booting into recovery/bootloader manually ?

The only thing we need is a working Recovery.
After that root should be easy. Just unlock your bootloader, flash recovery then flash SuperSU.zip.

You have to wait for some nice developer to port a working recovery for it.
Don't flash anything for now.

Once you obtain root, just copy & paste, the whole system dir to your internal memory.
I did mine unrooted & it took 4 different filer apps to do it 99.9% one file in /etc would not.
Then zip the whole thing & upload to Google drive or whatever. I use Mega.

I bet Philz recovery would work as is. But its not my phone, there is a risk (very small) of borking it.

Fastboot drivers for W8.1?

My bootloader is locked and I was trying to bump up to 4.4.4
Problem is I have to flash my kernel manually via fastboot and my computer isn't recognizing my X in fb mode. I've done manual flashes on Windows 8 before but its been a while since flashing and my laptop is up to 8.1 now.
So my questions: Do the fastboot drivers for the X not work properly on 8.1 and if there are new ones where can I get them?
I've already been to the moto site to download the Motorola Device Manager but it still doesn't fix my problem. Without the kernel the phone boots but its all kinds of buggy. Luckily I was able to Nand back to 4.4.2 and everything is stable.If you can help me that would be greatly appreciated... And if not then I'll just have to wait on Sunshine.

Sorry if that was not the answer you were looking for. I was trying to figure out what you did. Making sure you did not try and downgrade your bootloader. If you need to flash your kernel and your PC won't recognize your device why not use flashify app or similar to flash it without a PC?

I'm pretty sure you can't flash a stock kernel onto a locked bootloader device without using fastboot to do it. I haven't tried it but I'm also not trying to risk it. I was just wondering if the fastboot drivers were compatible with Windows 8.1 is all.

Nexus 6 Hard Brick - Tried Everything

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anybody could help me with my bricked Nexus. I tried everything in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/fix-fix-qhusbbulk-cm12-t3059518 I could not get the blank-flash.bat to work. Here's the error I get when running it: Target ERROR: 7 - Open multi failed, unknown error
FAILED (sdl-transfer-image:send-image:sdl-open-multi:target error)
I attached a picture below of the cmd window.
If anybody could help me get past this error and help my Nexus come back to life, it would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Don't think you can use the flash.bat ... Have to extract the .img files and flash them individually

Do you think you can elaborate on that?
Do you mean extract the img files from the singleimage.bin file and flash those seperately, or do you mean something else entirely?

fastboot is a program that you run on a computer, and you have to be in your bootloader to use it. you have to install it onto your computer, and you have to have the android driver installed as well, or fastboot wont see yoir phone. you cant "flash fastboot back".

There is no screen whatsoever. Just blank. Phone shows up on PC as QHUSB__BULK, but after installing Qualcomm usb drivers it shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3). I'm stuck there as the unbrick tool does not work for me.

Thank You.

As long as you are pretty sure you're stuck and have a useless device, then you may as well try a retail version and re-customize it from there. A quick search showed this as a possible source for you (asia-aust v) http://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X (2013)/Stock/XT1052/ for 5.1.
RSDLite it and good luck. Don't forget to backup anything you want saved from the /sdcard/* world, if you can still access it. The stock .XML file will blow that stuff away.

I re-read the thread and realized that I'm so used to people mis-using phrases like hard-bricked around here.. I figured that if you were even able to contemplate trying to somehow flash the partitions.fbn , that you must have some way into bootloader. My mistake. Sorry about that.
I've seen a couple of supposed ways (well, the JTAG way probably works if you want to go through that mess) for the moto-x when the bootloader is "gone". Another exploit for that for the Moto-X supposedly is to flash a blank bootloader. If I find any of the old threads on that, I'll post links. OK: For example, here's some old post with working links for the oddball f/w & drivers needed to do it. It's sort of a JTAG method without bothering with the JTAG H/W. It's also for a different model moto-x but I doubt that matters. Here's a link: http://www.usoftsmartphone.com/t300062.html
