Moto G 2nd Gen ( XT1068) hard bricked: neither turning on, nor opened by blankflash - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

One morning i restarted my phone( Moto G 2nd gen.) with Android Marshmallow because it went slow, but after that it restarted in fastboot mode when i pressed the power on button. Normal startup or recovery were also not working.
I checked this forum, then unlocked the bootloader and downgraded to Android 4.4.4 . My phone operated well, then at night it started asking for lollipop update again and again, i allowed for OTA update (that was my biggest mistake), and after downloading the data and during update, my phone went off and didn't start again.
Although the indicator light glows solid for sometime when connected to wall charger or to PC via USB cable.
I have tried blankflash, ADB and fastboot utility, Volume down + Power combination, pressing power button for over 120 seconds, but all in vain.....
Please suggest me a way to solve this problems, i have important data in my phone and i want to save those too.

Welcome to the hardbrick club ^^
They all did the same mistake like you did. When you go throught the motoG Threads you will see all did the same.
The only solution is a clean flash what is not given from motorola for moto g2. The only existing is for moto g what did not work for our phones

Feel blessed, you don't have to use moto g anymore.

I tried with blankflash which supports android 4.4 but not 5.0, so it must be a requiring MBM-CI 5.0 ? is it available or any expected month of arrival?

. I wish I could say it was, but unfortunately Motorola won't release this file. There have been some serious attempts to solve this problem but none have succeeded.. As far as I know the only way to fix this problem is by getting a new motherboard..

Hellow
friend, do not know if motorola and released this file, or if there are already solution ?, I appreciate your answer

no blankflash.zip for our model available
if you are from india then you can try out this solution for xt1068 by an guy mobile unbrick something contact him but remember it will be paid not free
Code:

if you from another region then need to wait for blank flash zip

There are some methods to extract the partition layouts...one can be using dd cloning & extracting img files...another can be through B2bSupportLg Tool, also calleld BoardDiag. It does have MSM8226 chipset option, but that device is W7 G2MDS. Take a working Moto G 2014 from someone, ask them to use this tool to extract the partition schemes, then you'll get .mbn files, especially prog_emmc_filehorse_msm8226.mbn . Use that to dump into the bricked device using either QFIL Tool or use this blankflash tool, replace it's singleimage files with the one you got, then execute blank-flash.bat.
Also I had some emmc prog firehorse files, all 4 related to 8x26...You can try those & confirm me if they work or not

[Q] Hard Bricked Moto X!!!

Hello everybody, yesterday I was flashing a 5.0 rom and I flashed the gpt.bin, making a hard brick.

Exist any solution for New Moto X, if no, I can replace my motherboard with a new and my cell will work again?

What model Moto X 2014 do you have and is the bootloader unlocked?
Can you get into bootloader mode? Have you tried pressing and holding volume down + volume up + power and holding for about 4 seconds and then releasing?

AFAIK that only works for the Moto X 2013 b/c of the hardware differences.

My Moto is the XT1097 Retail BR 32Gb, my bootlaoder is unlocked, but i can`t get into my bootlaoder mode, and pressing the volume down + volume up + power not power up too. I think the only way to get him back to life is replacing the motherboard.

Have you downloaded Motorola Device Manager to your computer? Does it detect your device when you connect it to your computer?
If MDM does not detect your device and you can't get into bootloader mode, I don't have any suggestions for you.
Are you still in warranty? Can you see about getting a warranty replacement?

Also - if the problem is all software, I believe the device can be relashed by Motorola. It may be cheaper than getting a new motherboard.
I believe they have these devices JTAG that allow them to reflash the bootloader and partition table to the device. A repair shop may be able to do it for you, too. They need to open up the device to do it.

Definitely get a repair quote from Motorola if they aren't going to cover it under warranty - a local repair shop may be cheaper.

Unfortunately, we do not have the blankflash files for the Moto X 2014. They have them for the Moto X 2013 so that is why they can fix their devices.
Can you get a warranty replacement from Motorola? That is the best option if you can get one.
Also, ask motorola to release the files for the 8974 processor. These are the files that we need:
MPRG8974.hex
8974_msimage.bin
(may be named MSM8974.bin or MSM8974_bootloader_singleimage.bin)
You can also ask for the files in this thread: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/b6cb5537f5
Are these the files that are needed?
Hi guys, I'm having the same problem with the xt1097.... searching (a lot) this last 3 days I found this website:
bbs.nubia.cn/thread-416486-1-1.html
In this website is a tutorial to get Z7 max back to life, and curiously (I might be wrong) but works with pretty similar specs as motorola, and actually usess the MSM8974. Hence I' uploading this files that you say. I've alrady tried on my phone but it get stucked with the following in the eMMC Software Downloader app:
Device mode = Sahara on port 10000
server event monitor enabled
path for selected COM port = "_HCD7!dev:0"
server event 1 10000 0 0
Timeout waiting for device
device wait found 0 0
files: mega.nz/#F!wddCjQDb!raPwHpa7bTJHh4mRuJ9nMA
So, Hope this can be helpfull and someone say how to use those files.
Those files won't help. We need the ones for this phone. Files from any other phone will not work.

How to unbrick hard bricked MOTO G 2nd Gen (xt1068)

My phone is totally bricked not even opening in bootloader. It's only recognized by pc as "qhsusb_bulk". so I signed my phone with "Riff BOX JTAG drivers Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider". after this my phone is recognized as "Qualcomm HS-USB QLoader 9008" under Ports (COM & LPT). Then I extract Motorola qboot utility and then run blank-flash.bat file after that this is showing (flashing singleimageFAILED (blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello:error sending packet).
maybe that singleimage.bin file is problematic.
So I need correct blank-flash file for my phone.
Help me guys. thanks in advance.

Well, there is a good chance that you can't do anything about it. But, give as some info about what you did to it, what was the last version of Android or Rom on it, and so on.

@Andy K
Found the reason why it didn't work. That is because that method is used to rescue Qualcomm Snapdragon devices. Our device is Qualcomm based so yeah. Here's a kinda detailed explanation
Owners of Qualcomm based LG’s, HTC’s, Samsung’s, Sony’s and Motorola’s, im afraid this tool is not suitable for you, because those liers mostly have chosen not to use default options of this platform, they dont (cant) want us to rescue our phones so easly, what would have happened to their service centers all around the world then ? They need to change “The Motherboard” in spite of the ability to fix this problem so easly to earn more and more and more money.

I was on stock Marshmallow 6.0 rom. Then I flashed stock Lollipop 5.0.2 rom in my phone and then I was updating my phone to new stagefright patch but after switch off my phone didn't turn on again.
My last android version was Marshmallow 6.0. I downgraded my phone to Lollipop 5.0.2 and tried to update latest stagefright patch from system update. But after switched off my phone never turn on again. Whenever I connect my phone to the charger it's shows nothing but white led light for 10 seconds. And my phone recognised by my PC as "qshusb_bulk".
Need Moto G 2nd Gen "blankflash image" to flash new bootloader.
As the bootloader of my phone has been collapsed so I need to flash a new bootloader to my phone to relive. But I don't have the right file. And I don't think there is any blankflash image of my phone (XT1068) is available on the net. So I just need to know that is there any way to extract these file from Stock ROM?

No there is no way. I think they already got 5.0 singleimage, but the problem is with programmer.mbn. Without motorola signature it won't flash the bootloader..
still no hope...
Do you have 5.0 or 6.0 singleimage file?
am stuck in the same position. the company has to come up with the new bootloader file. or upload the xt1068 bootloader. one method is throught riff jtag . but very few repair guys have that box. in mumbai they charge 1000-1500rs to repair such phones

QHSUSB_Bulk mode help

Hello everyone.
I know there is a user who asked, but no answers given to him in 2014, now in 2016 I'm asking again.
Last night was doing downgrade in my XT1069 Android BR 6.0 to 4.4.4 factory, so far so good, worked normal. From the moment I was installing the OTA's, when arrived at the time of the OTA 22:21:28, finishing the process, the phone does not start, I believe that corrupted the bootloader.
Recognizes "qhsusb-bulk" as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".
After so see that this is common, and it's hard to find a "programmer.mbn" compatible, I wonder if there is a solution, without having to replace the motherboard?
I took a look at "QPST program", "flashblank", "qboot" but unfortunately walked working with who has the "Moto X" and some users "Moto G 2013".
Is there any way back up the eMMC from another device?
Welcome to the hard bricked Moto G 2014 club!

Hard bricked Moto G2 (XT 1068): Ideas for a solution welcome

Hi everyone,
I own a Motorola Moto G2 (XT1068, dual sim) that came used with Android 6.0 on it.
I installed TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-3-titan.img) on it but failed to root Android 6.0 as well as 5.0 for whatever not yet understood reason. I don't do Android development for a living but I'm an IT professional, so handling adb and fastboot as well as reading and understanding instructions isn't a problem.
I flashed stock Android 4.4.4 (RETDEALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-14) which I successfully rooted by installing SuperSU via TWRP.
Next I updated SuperSU, verified that root access is indeed working and installed FlashFire, which I hoped to use to install OS upgrades, possibly without losing root. FlashFire is new to me (as of yesterday), everything else mentioned up to here is not.
I used the "Flash ZIP or OTA" action from within FlashFire and the previously downloaded update file in the /cache directory. I can't reproduce the file name since the phone is currently unusable and I didn't write the file name down prior to using FlashFire.
The state of the phone after this unsuccessful attempt was that of a broken USB device, i.e. unable to even register as whatever type of USB device. I learned that this can be fixed by holding the power button down for more than one minute, after which I managed to
get the phone to be shown as working "RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008" USB serial device in Windows 7 device manager.
I used the information in these two threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-unbrick-moto-g-falcon-t3394788
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-revive-hard-bricked-moto-g-t2833798
Since I started with Android 4.4.4 trying to upgrade to 5.0, I had hoped that the blank flash package for one of these Android versions would help fix my problem, but as of now, this doesn't seem to be the case. At the end of the blank flashing process, I get the message
FAILED <blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello: error sending packet>
After that, the phone still has a black screen and cannot boot into anything. Repeating blank flash works after resetting whatever part of it is still working by holding the power button down for about 30+ seconds.
Is there anything obvious (or maybe even not so obvious) that I missed?
Thanks for reading and any help and/or pointers in the right direction.

Preferably in a normal non-centered text because what you've done there is hard on the eyes (read: annoying) and almost put me off answering...

Well as you get the info ready, I will give you some advise. RSD is useless on the nexus 6. It is moto software for moto software and the nexus is is moto in name only.
Also the drivers for the moto E and nexus 6 might not be the same thing. Just because it is a moto doesnt mean anything.

wake up found it stuck in bootloader i didnt do anything
i cant flash rom or do any thing
If you have no ROM, cannot enter recovery, and did nothing to bring this state of affairs about, your phone most likely has a dead EMMC storage chip. You can verify this by trying to flash a stock ROM using the fastboot command, but be aware that attempting to use that Lenovorola program you mentioned could have done significant damage to the device, as that program is not intended for this device.
Should we be able to confirm a dead EMMC chip, there's not that many options available. If you are still under manufacturer warranty you can send the device to Lenovorola for repair at no cost. Otherwise, you'd have to pay for the repair. You could instead purchase a replacement, or purchase a device with a broken screen and swap motherboards (and SIM trays).
