As a lot of people i also have hard-bricked my only phone moto X force (XT1580) also known as Droid Turbo 2. This phone is in Qualcomm HSUSB 9008 mode presently.(HARD BRICKED)

After a monotonous googling of several days i found that there is a lot of Moto device that has a hard bricked solution available. Most of the moto devices easily comes to life by the flashing infamous Blank-flash file.

Now it is obvious that blank-flash file contains mainly a singleimage.bin! If we further open this singleimage.bin you may see that it contains mainly 5-6 .img namely :

1. aboot.img

2. DDR.img

3. rpm.img

4. sbl1.img

5. tz.img etc

FortunatelyI have been managed All the above file from a working device by dumping ROM method! By using the command=>

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/Loader.img bs=1024 count=168960

Here the link for above loader.img

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KC0nhQqE6XG2jkCrlkGcqkEuLVvxXeUt/view?usp=drivesdk

Now I only need some helpful and competent friends who builds a singleimage.bin for moto xt1580.

I know that it requires a few hours of you. But if you give some hours for us, it will give a new life to our bricked phone.

A many many "thank you" in advance

I have few questions:

1. If I had to send my phone back for warranty purpose, does relocking bootloader suffice to fool Motorola that the phone was never modified?

2. What is the amount of ram usable?

3. how much memory does the system consumes after first boot?

4. how much memory does the system consumes after login Google and Motorola account (but didn't install any app from Play Store yet)?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flibblesan:
No because Motorola have a record of your phone from when you requested the unlock code.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishpancake:
So what fibblesan?? No offence intended. :)

Unlocking the bootloader will not normally damage the phone.

So, unless Motorola can prove that you have caused damage to the device, by following their detailed BL unlock procedure, they have no "out" from an EU-wide Warranty, for at least two years

So, returning your phone for something unrelated, like a real fault, caused by poor manufacturing, or a dodgy component not functioning properly, or something else which makes the phone unusable or unacceptable, or some other fault, not caused by the user, is covered in the EU by the two year statutory warranty, which is a Directive that has been transposed into law in all EU countries which did not already have such consumer protection, as in the UK by their own superior six year protection/warranty, the SOGA, administered by Trading Standards, relating to manufacturing defects, etc

http://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/consumers/protection_of_consumers/l32022_en.htm

http://sogahub.tradingstandards.gov.uk/

Unlocking the Bootloader does not invalidate your rights as a consumer in the EU, which are generally that the goods must be of merchantable quality and fit for purpose.

I have noted previously that Apple were forced to revise and change their own International Warranty terms in the EU, and had to incorporate the mandatory EU two year protection/warranty period into their Warranty as applied in the EU.

http://9to5mac.com/2013/06/12/apple-changes-warranty-policy-in-belgium-to-offer-two-years-protection/

http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/2/2919756/apple-eu-statutory-warranty-two-years
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flibblesan:
I didn't say anything about the warranty would be invalidated? The user asked if locking the bootloader would fool Motorola and I said no because they have a record. A question was asked.. I answered it.

Nice rant though
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishpancake:
Of course you are right flibblesan....and I even got your nom de plume wrong :o

But, it was a glorious rant, agreed. :D

Hopefully it was actually informative, and not just a rant for rants sake.

Noob question

Hi everybody from a new android user!

I searched through the FAQ but haven't found an answer to a silly question: if I unlock the bootloader and then root my (future) Moto G, will I get official OTA upgrades anyway? And if I install a custom recovery and a new kernel? Thx!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perseus:
To my knowledge, mere unlocking the bootloader won't stop you from getting the updates. But if you install custom Recovery or Rom, its possible you won't get notification of updates.

If you do install future updates, they will likely wipe the custom recovery.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichino84:
So I guess I'll wait until a stable Rom will be released and then try to play a bit with my new toy, by now I need a drama-free phone!

Thx for the answer!:highfive:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drfr:
You don't need to worry about OTA.

1. Unlocking the bootloader and rooting doesn't affect it at all, that's for sure.

2. Even today it is possible to flash 4.4 to our European devices, look here:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hednik:
okay... I've spent my past 3 years on the Samsung side and *gasp* have never used ADB or fastboot for anything. Built some stock based roms and did mods using all the standby apk modding tools but I am still not quite sure about adb and fastboot. Just never had to use them doing anything on the Sammy side.

Seems easy enough but I've got a few questions. Okay so I see references to a motorola fastboot that is different from the normal fastboot. All the mod or tutorials just give normal fastboot commands so can I just use the fastboot that comes with the slimed down ADB ? Can I just use Koush's universal driver (or is the moto g not included) ? I read somewhere to add it to a script, I'll assume this means with notepad++ ? not too sure on this one.

This might sound dumb but is fastboot the same as entering download mode on Samsung phones

Also...what's with reviewers saying the back cover is hard to get off the phone... it's as if they have weak fingers and have only used an iPhone so they've never had to take a back cover off a phone before.

Hi guys, I just got my Moto G this morning and now I was trying to unlock the bootloader. Looks like there's something running uncorrectly with Motorola bootloader-unlocking webpage, as I copied the string and the button appeared, but after clicking it, the page went blank and asked for confirmation to request a key. Still, no email has arrived to my Gmail account.

It looks pretty strange, this should be an automatic process, so the email should have arrived pretty soon. At this point, I guess I'll wait until tomorrow morning and see if the mail is there or, in case, I'll request again the key...

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perseus:
I have a Samsung as well but I am not that new to Motorola like you said. But mind you, I don't have a Moto G either. (I am here on this forum because its not that well supported and not many developers yet.)

So I will try to translate moto-speak to sammy-speak.

Too bad we don't have a Odin here oh well. Don't think you can make one here. Both Fastboot on Moto and Downloading on Samsung are Bootloaders. They both mean the same and do the same thing. To my knowledge, there's nothing different between the "normal" Fastboot and Moto Fastboot. I do believe the Fastboot command of Slimmed down ADB will do fine. When the device is connected to Windoz, in Fastboot mode, you need special drivers for windoz to recognize it. Yes they do exist for Moto G.

No Clue what you meant by Notepad++
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hednik:
Thanks for the clarifications. I knew you were on the moto x side and was wondering if you'd heard of that mfastboot or the like ha.

Someone had mentioned adding the moto g device to koush's universal adb driver using a text editor I.e notepad++.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brushstroke:
Hi there. Just curious, using the root method described here, is it still possible to receive OTA updates? If I understand correctly, at least it is this way on Nexus devices, if you still have the stock recovery then you can receive OTA updates even while being rooted. You have to root again after each OTA of course, but that's no problem.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perseus:
Yes I believe you will get OTA despite being rooted. Key thing is to keep stock everything.

You can use OTA Rootkeeper from Play Store and keep the root across updates.
