Okay, I unlocked my boot loader and was going to flash a rom. But my phone updated a security patch, and now will only boot and give me com.android.phone has stopped I never activated the phone as I only use it as a smart device at home, I have searched many times but all I get are to do a factory reset or clear the cache of the phone, but I cannot as the message just repeats over and over allowing no access to settings. Yes it is a shared device in our home so my child must have updated the security patch.
Edit now i know its not owens it a perry even though it was called an ownes in my bootloader.
The regular E4, or the E4 Plus?

Note- Please read thoroughly and answer my question with the utmost honesty if that is okay------Hello, developers, I am in need of help. I currently own the unlocked (gsm) Motorola Moto G 2nd Generation, US Version. Around February, I rooted my XT1064 with Kingroot. I did this, to get iOS 7 emojis, and nothing else. My phone is soft bricked. I recently recieved an OTA notification for Android 6.0 (marshmallow). While rooted, I tried to update the phone 3 times. Each time, the update downloaded fine, but when it came to installation, it went halfway through, flashed the android bot with the x (for errors) for a half second, then rebooted. About 2 minutes after boot, I receive an on screen pop up saying that "the installation had an error. no changed were made to your moto g" with no error code. After getting tired of this, I went to King Root settings, and did "uninstall and clear root" I kept the root backup checked. So, after unrooting, I factory reset and thought that I was all good with the update because factory reset right? WRONG. It still shows the same error message, even after factory reset. Does anyone know if this is a phone common OTA error, or if King root took some files that were needed for the OTA when I uninstalled? Help, please! PS: Marshmallow has been a long awaited update, and I hope you can help me. PPS: If you tell me to flash stock android, please provide instructions for my specific device. Also, please name the risks involved. I am fine with a soft brick, but tell me if a hard brick is possible.
Please Help
My xt1064 died after the marshmallow update. Ended up buying a new phone.
I have installed custom rom 4.4.4 on moto g2 but after some time i have got an ota update of 5.0 lollipop update & when i have downloaded that update & installed it & after the installation process, when my mobile was restarted, then it shows completely blank screen & it is not switching on neither it shows fastboot mode. Pls help me for resolving this issue.
Try holding the Power+VolumeDown button for a few minutes and see if you can enter Fastboot then. If nothing happens, see if the phone is getting charged.
Try holding the buttons again while the phone is plugged in. Hold the buttons till the notification light goes off and stays in that state (it might turn off and back on a couple of times). Then you might be able to get to fastboot mode. Hope this helps
Excuse my English, I used google translator:
It happened to me for three days with my Moto G XT1069 2 and is happening with hundreds of consumers in Brazil. Motorola is not responsible and their authorized workshops are charging about $ 60 for the device's release. There is a group in a community on Facebook striving for a solution, but so far without success, since they require the release of the MBM CI 5.0 by Motorola.
The technical support company claims to downgrade to Android 4.4.4 KitKat, it is necessary to unlock the bootloader, procedure provided by the company's website, but with warnings that may occur problems with the device. But the problem occurs only at the time of update 4.4.4 KitKat for Lollypop 5 via OTA and not the implementation of the bootloader unlock.
In my opinion Motorola does have full responsabidade by default, because in addition to offering unlocking the bootloader and + firmware Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
I think the way is to report and put pressure on the company and wait for satisfactory results. Meanwhile my Moto G 2 is in "induced coma" waiting for a miracle
Hi, please have a motorcycle x play XT1053, I'm trying to give a hard reset because my daughter forgot the password to draw, but after the procedure it returns to the ROM that is and does not touch anything. I also tried to update the rom but without success via adb, it returns the same rom with the configurations that are, that is, I can not get back from the factory because I do not have the password nor hard reset because it returns to what is already, somebody can help me ?
I need help too. So, I own a Moto G5s plus sanders. I unlocked its bootloader the day I got it. Didn't keep any backup and rooted it. I Also installed dot os based on android 11. But my 4G Volte connection was finicky. So, I decided to use a Volte zip patch. But, anyways I flashed the zip via TWRP and tried to reboot. But the phone didn't turn on after that. After a few minutes to my shock I understood that I hardbricked my mobile. No button combos, nothing worked. Anyways in my desperation I found a YouTube video showing the use of blankflash to revive a phone and lo and behold I used the procedure to again restore my device. It booted to the fastboot interface. But my happiness was short lived. My baseband was unknown at this point and the bootloader was I dunno downgraded to 0.5 inplace of 2.12. But, more importantly the unlock status was lost. I unlocked it again and all went well. I could even flashed TWRP. but then I realised I couldn't upgrade my bootloader. I couldnât do anything. It's always gives a "security downgrade", "preflash validation failed" and "permission denied" error. I even tried RSA official rescue tool from Lenovo but even it was unsuccessful. It was never unsuccessful before that. Not even with a unlocked bootloader. I researched for days and tried custom ROMs. I flashed stock images. Nothing brought back my baseband and IMEI. When I type "fastboot oem unlock critical" it gives me permission denied error with a message. "Need OEM signed bootloader." I think the blankflash bootloader is the root of all evil. I need to change it and therefore I need to enter the edl mode. I have tried all adb commands and fastboot commands. The phone reboots okay after those commands but never goes into edl mode whatsoever. I am also ready to do a controlled hardbrick of my device to go into the edl mode so that I can use my device again with a proper bootloader and a properly working fastboot. Please help
i think this vid will help
Greetings everyone. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum. Please move this in appropriate forum if I made a mistake. Believe me, for the last 7 days I have searched all of xda and internet, followed innumerable guides, FAQs and workarounds and none worked. So, as a last resort I am starting this thread
Device: Motorola Moto G5s Plus XT1804 ......4GB _64GB variant
Problem: 1) Baseband not found (unknown) Original Baseband: M8953_52.61.07.98R SANDERS_INDIADSDS_CUST
2) IMEI 0 (Sim cards are not detected).
I bought this refurbished phone about an week ago after my last LG went kaput. I was happy by the build quality of the phone. But it only ran Android 8.1 Oreo. So, I decided to put a custom ROM in it. I am not exactly a newbie to the world of CyanogenMods, Lineage OSes and Pixel Experiences. Or, so I thought. Anyways, after a lot of searching I finally decided on Dot OS 5.2 Official Android 11 version. The ROM looked very pleasing and the reviews looked positive. So, I got the unlock key from Motorola website, unlocked the bootloader, put in official TWRP recovery in it. Everything went like a breeze and in all that excitement I forgot to take a backup of the persist, efs and other partitions. A very costly mistake it seems. DotOS booted fine and looked really fresh till I found that there is a small cross near the SIM card network signal triangle up righthand side corner and the signal is only LTE and not VOLTE. I was using a Vodafone Sim card at the time. Although VOLTE option was enabled in SIM settings. To confirm my doubts regarding VOLTE I switched to a JIO Simcard and alas I was not able to make a call without redirecting through the horrid JIO calling app. VOLTE was indeed not working. So, I looked up for a fix and I found a Volte ZIP file from here https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...0QFnoECBAQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0YgJvCjQWXXV8WQSJkxBOK . This was the starting of my troubles. I flashed the universal VOLTE fix zip from TWRP and it flashed fine. On rebooting, I found to my shock that my phone was not turning on. I pressed and held the power key and there was no sign of life. I couldnât go to the fastboot bootloader or recovery. Only the white led blinked at the top when connected to the charger. My phone was apparently hard bricked. I searched frantically for a solution in this forum and YouTube wherein I found that one can bring it back to life by doing a blankflash. Found the blankflash file here https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...wQFnoECAsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1eVdBWGVFr8aiqLdP-ZkeT followed the instructions and it flashed my bricked device back to fastboot. I was relieved for a moment but the next I found that the Bootloader version has downgraded from BL C2 07 to BL C0 05. I knew something was wrong as bootloader downgrade shouldn't be possible. Also the unlock and rooted status were also lost and the baseband was unknown at this point. Anyways the device was recognised as a fastboot device and I tried to flash the stock ROM latest version using the fastboot. But, only then I realised there was something wrong with the bootloader. It gave errors like security downgrade, permission denied, preflash validation failed, remote command failed. At this point I was truly confused and worried. Why would it think the latest bootloader to be a security downgrade to a supposedly old bootloader and prevent me from flashing it. However it did flash the other files like gpt.bin for partition, oem.img, boot.img, system.img sparsechunks and everything else. I booted back to Android 8.1 Oreo and everything seemed working except my IMEI now read zero and my Simcard was not recognised by the device. After that I again unlocked my bootloader. Somehow the original unlock key worked and the bootloader screen said flashing unlocked but the bootloader didn't behave like an unlocked bootloader. The TWRP installed fine but couldnât install the latest Pixel Experience. The flash screen said PE 11 was for Sanders and my device is (blank no name). I tried both the normal and plus and both behaved similarly. Lineage OS unofficial builds behaved similarly. I again tried Dot OS and Arrow OS and both installed fine except there was no signal. For a moment I tried to forget about the bootloader but concentrated on recovering my IMEI and Baseband but I couldnât. For nearly 5 days I tried different guides including a detailed guide using Validus Sanders ROM but none worked. My EFS folder has files around 12 megabytes but my Persist seems deleted at zero bytes. The IMEI keeps changing between null, zero and unknown depending on the 20 something ROMs I tasted on this device. At this point, I am at a loss. This was to be my main phone and I am financially crunched. I can't buy another phone right now. I think that blankflash bootloader is corrupted and it is giving me permission denied errors. Even Magisk won't work properly. I even tried using the official rescue and smart assistant tool by Lenovo and it failed at 47 percent. I tried in different computers and Win7 to Win 11 OSes but it was of no use. I also tried getting a QCN file but I couldnât get one for the device to recover the IMEI. Please suggest something if anyone of you can save this poor device of mine. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick reply but my phone is soft bricked now. It was hardbricked and I uses a faulty blankflash bootloader to bring it back to life. My device is softbricked now. I have lost my baseband and I have no IMEI. I cannot take calls and no mobile data. Can you show me a way to go to edl mode in my device. Thanks again.
can your phone turn on if yes can you root it with magisk
if yes then pls tell me i will tell you
I can do everything except calling and mobile data. Yes, I have rooted with Magisk and have root access. But my baseband is unknown and my IMEI is showing zero. I can't call or access mobile data. Although I can use wifi
I have tried what is shown in this video already. Didn't work
I think the blank flash bootloader was corrupt or of a different region.
so go to magisk manager and on top-right corner you will see setting click the button right next to it and click on reboot to edl
I didn't even knew that. Trying asap. Will update
Doesnât work. Reboots back to system.
Updated Magisk to latest and tried both edl and download mode like you said brother. Everytime boots back to system. Am I missing something. The phone was not connected to the PC at the time
I am on stock Oreo now. Rooted and twrp installed
An interesting observation while installing Xposed, it gave an error that the device is not rooted properly
I have an untouched dump file for my model. The whole thing. Could you please guide me how I can restore my smartphone from that.
can you flash it through adb sideload fastboot twrp etc
I don't know but I sold the device. I bought a new one. Thanks @Raggaov for the help.
you're welcome
Well, i tried to flash a custom rom on my Moto g5s plus (XT1805 dual sim) i made a EFS backup through TWRP. At some point i got an error in the fastboot screen, something that says like "Startup failed", i fixed it with Lenovo RSA, then when i try to install the stock rom, with efs backup and everything, it doesn't have signal, and in the moto actions app doesn't appear the "one button navigation" option, then i installed different kernels to try to fix it, the thing is that it hardbricked, i don't remember exactly what i did to hardbrick because it was a couple months ago, but i'm pretty sure it was a custom kernel.
The phone was completely dead, except for a white led blinking when i connected it to my computer. Did a bit of research here on XDA and some forums, and found a "blankflash" file, it worked like magic and my phone was again alive, but without signal and moto fingerprint gestures option not appearing, everything else was fine, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Camera. Then i tried to flash again the kernel that hard bricked it, believing it would work this time, and big surprise, hard bricked again. I tried to fix it using the method that worked me in the past, but then the blankflash file was giving me an error, i tried to search another blankflash but no luck, no one was working. Then i found a reddit post and finally worked, alive again but in same conditions, no signal and moto actions not working.
I don't really know what is wrong with my phone, i'm believing that Lenovo RSA installed a wrong version of whatever it fixed. I'm on a dead end, and i cannot find more info about a similar problem anywhere, and Lenovo RSA now says something like "The model associated with the IMEI for your device is not currently supported by RSA."
I'm out of options, and my last chance is to ask here if someone can give me a hand.
Edit: I also tried fastboot erase abl and fastboot erase bootloader idk why, but it gives me an error like "Permission denied".
p.s that command deletes bootloader partition, high risk of hardbrick
