Unbrick my Moto G6. - Moto G6 Questions & Answers

Motorola G6 XT1925-3 Hard > > Hard Brick [level 4]
Motorola Moto G6 based on arm64 Qualcomm SnapDragon 450
OS and firmware: Android 9.0 Pie , TeamWin Recovery Project ver. 3.3.1
Problem description:
Hello dear gurus.
Purchased Motorola Moto G6 on Android 8.0 Oreo and official bootloader.
Updated with all the latest security updates to Android 9 (Pie).
But alas, it is difficult to live easily...
Therefore, I set myself the task to install a custom TWRP recovery,get Root privileges on it, and flash a new FirmWare ViperOS on this device.
There were no problems with unlocking the bootloader via fastboot oem unlock xxxMyCodexxxb and installing TWRV 3.3.1.Root rights via Magisk were also obtained without problems.
The problem occurred when trying to install the firmware in TWRP in .zip format (Invalid format .zip file), tried about 15 different firmware both custom and factory.Specifically for my device (MOTO G6 XT1925-3 on Qualcomm ARM Cortex-A53).but all to no avail.
When trying to firmware from TWRP, errors occurred in the Wrong format .zip file or Error 7, which showed that the device was incorrectly registered in the file updater-script.xml.
After many attempts, I got to the point where the '/vendor' section Couldn't mount '/vendor'fell off in the loader using TWRP Unmounting partitions
this made it impossible to restore the system's pre-made TWRP backup.
I saved the Backup to a third-party media, but the error with the unmounted '/vendor ' partition was repeated and the system went to bootloop.
A search on the Internet for working firmware and working software for porting it led to the fact that I downloaded it .bat'nik, which completely rubbed all my bootloader, after which the smartphone went to EDL mode Qualcomm HS-USB QLoader 9008.In other words, it was still possible to load a chain of loaders to the device using QFIL.exe
But that wasn't enough for me.I'm not a BDSM fan at all,but sometimes I practice IT involuntarily.
Through the same one QFIL.exe I filled the device with the wrong firmware, after which my Moto G6 is detected as an unknown device even in the Windows device Manager.
I really hope for adequate qualified professional help.After all, all people go through thorns to the stars.
Actions were taken:
Filled in custom and factory firmware via TWRP.but to no avail.
Installed all the necessary drivers to support Qualcomm USB Driver Restore (motorola Driver Device, Lenovo Device Driver,ADB Driver, Motorola connection Manager.)
Via QPTS ,namely EFSExplorer connected the smartphone as an unknown device.
Unfortunately, I never look for easy ways, so I constantly learn from mistakes.At its.

(((Sorry for my impromptu English via Google Translation))
did you installed motorola usb driver ? also for fastboot you must download sdk android, or you can use this easy installer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-5-0-2-lxb22-46-t3019612
but first you must instal usb driver for motorola
Try running fastboot as administrator AnD check ur drivers if it's updated, enable USB debugging via developer options and Download moto g 2014 firmware (600mb) and flash it. Ul get back to stock or flash Radium redefined rom ( which is based on stock) http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/rom-radium-redefined-t3188324

Moto X 2014 charges but wont recognize, unable to use adb/fastboot, options?

I'm unsure how I arrived to these issues, but hoping someone can offer suggestions. I have multiple Moto X 2014's and the issue I am experiencing is limited to a single device.
The device is not being recognized via USB connection to a Windows 10 system. It is the same cable, same USB port, same drivers installed that the other Moto X 2014's work with, isolating the problem to this specific device.
As far as I know, the bootloader on this device has not been officially unlocked via the Motorola/Lenovo website as I have done with the others.
Under Developer options, I have ensured that USB debugging is enabled and the USB function is configured for MTP. What is odd is it seems to try to change to "Charging Only" whenever I attempt to select any option, but with a little finagling, can get it to stay locked to MTP mode. This may imply the firmware applied at some point may have been corrupt, or that there is physical damage to the device or component.
I do have access to the AP Fastboot mode screen and subsequent bootloader/recovery screen.
No matter what I attempt to flash from the bootloader/recovery screen, including official system images, bootloader, and recovery, they all fail with:
E: footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed
Was this the result of a possibly botched upgrade from Kitkat 4.4.4 to Marshmallow 6.0 at some point?
My first question is, seeing as I do have access to the bootloader/recovery screen and can load a zip file (from normal boot-up into OS via website download), is it possible to create a .zip file that will issue the equivalent to "fastboot oem unlock ..." via the internal storage/sd card, effectively obtaining the unique oem code, and thereafter, issuing the unlock key?
Second, and quite possibly a hurdle of my first question, how do I get around the footer/signature errors when flashing any file without a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM installed to disable signature verification and such?
Any input is greatly appreciated.

I have been trying to root my metro Moto e5 plus

I was successful in getting the bootloader installed and also twrp but SU and Magisk kept giving error, somehow in the last boot I am now on a boot loop of bad key cannot boot to OS of phone and the backup of the OS will restore but it still will not boot past the bad key loop. I can get to the twrp recovery and the bootloader but no functions work in bootloader twrp works flwlessly but I have no image for my device. Does anyone have the stock rom for the metro verision of moto e5 plus. I have found one for the Cricket version but specs are all wrong. Any help would be appreciated

Hey, even if you can't post a link to the resolution I'd love to have more info! Please either PM me or post a tut, since this looks to be a bit problematic and I'm gonna jump on a freebie from MetroPCS.
Would really appreciate it thx!
Those of you who seek root on the MetroPCS Moto E5 play, I got you
I was working on a simple, straight forward walk through. Maybe just pm me for the details. Would be easier to do it that way being as I'm currently @ work. I can't figure out how to post a pic directly from my Moto E, but if you pm, I'll send you some verification. I soft bricked mine 3 times trying to get it figured out. You know what they say though. 3rd time is the charm. PS, don't flash anything other than recovery!!! The no-verity will cause you to boot loop.

People don't really tell you how to fix the issue so if you still need help getting your phone back to normal
I will help
Every post I have tried has been flawed or wrong or won't work
Sometimes people just post **** and don't think
PM me, i'll help you as well if you need it. What you have to do is download a platform tools folder and extract it because you need to open it and open up a command prompt within the platform tools folder for the restoration of the phone's stock ROM can be successfully flashed on the phone. I have everything you need to get your phone back operational again. I'll even help you root it successfully if you need more help, and i'll help you decrypt it. there's even a successful custom ROM that i'm using now that's better than the others since the others have so many problems booting up or issues within the ROM itself.

I interested in rooting my metroPCS Moto e5 play but I don't really know what to do & I don't want to end up using a rooting program that will mess up my phone or not have at least a little knowledge of what I'm doing. Your post was the first one I came across and I was wondering if you might be able to help me with a little bit of knowledge. Please & thank you, I'd really appreciate it...

If you could help me out with rooting my moto e5 plus I would be grateful I have a question though my baseband version says M8940TMO_32.22.11.69R
HANNAH_NA_TMO_CUST and the Official TWRP app says my device is Hannah so do I use the James varient or the Hannah one is the plus and one is the play correct? Thank you for any help you might be able to give me.

yes, the plus is hannah and the regular e5 is the play...you have the hannah version.
None of this helps me. I unlocked the bootloader tried to install magisk or supersu, but it keeps bootlooping to n/a. I can only get into bootloader and from there to TWRP. That's it. I do have adb access...

Question Motorola Edge 20 - "Confidential Property" Device Boot Loop Issue after Flashing Recovery

Hello XDA Community,
I recently purchased a Motorola Edge 20 for just 150€, which seems like a great deal. However, there's a catch: the display shows "Motorola confidential property, not for sale." The device had developer mode on and an open bootloader by default, and some features were still buggy. Since all the hardware components matched the retail version, I decided to try and flash the retail OS to get a more stable system.
I first tried to flash the system via a ZIP file, but I encountered a signature issue, which I now realize was due to my limited knowledge and inexperience in flashing ROMs. Next, I attempted to flash a recovery file that I found online by running the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img." The process seemed successful, but it resulted in my device getting stuck in a boot loop.
After more research and troubleshooting, I found a script on XDA forums that I ran with firmware that was supposed to be original, and that got my device back into a boot loop. The recovery.img is not present in that firmware. When I try to boot the phone now, it displays "booting into recovery mode" at the top and then reboots (possibly because the recovery file is broken). I tried other firmware files such as LineageOS and PixelExperience recovery, but I always encountered errors while attempting to upload the recovery file.
While attempting to flash the PixelExperience recovery, I encountered the following error message:
Code:
C:\Users\marti\platform-tools>fastboot.exe flash recovery PixelExperience_Plus_berlin-13.0-20230112-1838-OFFICIAL.img
Warning: skip copying recovery image avb footer (recovery partition size: 0, recovery image size: 100663296).
Sending 'recovery' (98304 KB) OKAY [ 2.377s]
Writing 'recovery' (bootloader) Invalid partition name recovery
FAILED (remote: '')
fastboot: error: Command failed
It appears that the bootloader reports an "Invalid partition name recovery" error. I suspect this might be related to the device being a "confidential property" version of the Motorola Edge 20, which might have a different partition layout or naming convention. The bootloader is still unlocked.
With all this information, I hope that someone can help me understand what went wrong and how to fix this issue. I would appreciate any guidance on flashing the retail OS to my Motorola Edge 20 without causing further problems or finding a compatible recovery file that will allow me to boot the device successfully.
Thank you in advance!
Hi, this problem was because there is no sector named "recovery" in Edge 20. I followed the LintageOS instructions again and got the phone into LintageOS recovery. However, after installing and updating the phone via ADB, I got the phone hard-bricked. Honestly, I don't know why, but I might have broken something much earlier in the process. Tip for future me: prepare in advance.
Sounds like you got your hands on a dev device of some sort. Try making your own update script, follow these instructions (you will need to add a few more script lines depending on your system version):
If for some reason you cannot boot into recovery mode at all, there is a Qualcomm recover tool that I found out about the hard way after bricking my device too. If you plug your phone into your computer and the computer makes a sound that it recognizes a new device then you can probably recover it. I don't remember where to find it since I too found it by chance after desperately searching the internet, so you're on your own for that.
I forgot to mention you can get ROMs on sites like lolinet but I can't guarantee integrity. Also, if it is a dev device then the IMEI might not be valid, so it might be illegal to use or it might not be functional with any SIM card, so careful what you do with it. I don't know how to check for IMEI. Maybe try the RSA tool and input your IMEI there and see if it gives you a software to download (the IMEI can be found on the inside of your SIM tray).

Please, help me with saving my device!

After trying to flash TWRP (by following this guide: https://www.thecustomdroid.com/root-oneplus-6t-guide/ ) my device would no longer boot to the OS,but (stock) recovery and fastboot modes worked, so I tried to fix it by flashing some Android 9 roms from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...t-stock-fastboot-roms-for-oneplus-6t.3862516/ , and flashing a stock Android 10 boot.img (for some reason).
But my attemps at fixing it by flashing only made things worse, my current situation is as follows:
Device: Oneplus 6T (6/128)
Version (either Global or T-Mobile): Unsure
OxygenOS Version: Unsure, only know that it is Android 9
Bootloader: Unlocked
- Neither Recovery mode nor TWRP work
- Bootloader and Baseband versions show as empty
- I can only access Fastboot mode and EDL mode
- A power outage left my main pc (which had the drivers, permissions and backup i had been using, and need, to do this) a burning mess
- I´m currently using an old desktop computer i had stored (which has Windows 7), but it fails to recognize my device.
- I have installed and tried multiple versions of the Qualcomm, Oneplus, Adb and Android drivers, but it never recognizes it
- Windows doesnt allow me to manually select the drivers for the Unknown device as ¨the specified folder doesnt contain a software driver compatible with this device¨
- By searching the system and internet it always says that ¨the best software driver for this device is already installed¨
- Both of the above were tried with a disabled driver signature requirement
- When using it on the other PC, the msm download tool, it always said that the image didnt match the device, no matter which of the 13 versions I tried
- On my current PC, the msm download tool doesnt detect my device
I implore anyone that can provide any help or advise to do so, as I´ve already spent an entire week scouring the Internet (including the Oneplus and XDA forums) for any solution, but so far, nothing has worked. Have a good day and thank you for reading my post.
Hey man.
I'm a dude with no OnePlus 6T but have a OnePlus Nord N10. But I do know the really bad punch-in-the-gut feeling of not having a device work at all.
What does "fastboot reboot bootloader" show?? (Does your phone reboot to the bootloader upon that command being ran?)
Also did you try to flash the stock Android 9 boot.img that your device was updated to?
As for the MSM download tool, the last replies I've seen show that some people trying that on Win11 recently have got it working.
Also check if these work? https://www.thecustomdroid.com/oneplus-6-6t-unbrick-guide/
How to Unbrick Your OnePlus 6T When All Else Fails
When flashing files through TWRP, ADB, or Fastboot, there's a slight chance for things to go wrong. Whether it's user error related or something else entirely, it's always good to have a backup plan. In most cases, you'll be dealing with a semi-brick or soft-brick, which can usually be solved by...

Sorry if it sounds stupid but I want to try to help.
I really hope your phone gets fixed, man. Good luck!
