[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sykosoft:
I'd like a bit of guidance. I'm not "hard bricked" in the sense that I can get to the bootloader and recovery still, but I get a hang on the unlocked bootloader splash screen. I sideloaded the 5.0.2 soak OTA to a stock locked device. Unfortunately, I couldn't go anywhere from there, so I have unlocked the bootloader (apparently moto is allowing that again for boost xt1031 devices). I downloaded the 4.4.4 xml, and attempted to flash all but gpt.bin and motoboot.img. However, the phone now no longer boots. In order to avoid a hard brick, but get me back in business, what do I need to do?

Thanks for the guidance.

Isnt it possible, that we can get direct access to the mainboard, so we can change things there? Just a thought, I have no clue about how mainboards work or whatsoever, it was just a idea. Any pros here, that can answer my question?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feurrado:
I guess not, the problem is in the software, not hardware, so we have acess to the mainboard but not acess to the fastboot (bootloader"system") so we have to wait the MBM-CI 5.0:(:p

Edit: sorry I'm Brazillian and I understand wrong your question, but... I don't know if it possible, I guess not again, because to change de thing, need to acess the boot loader or similar and I have not acess, so no it is not possible

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm2racer:
After some research I figured out that attempting to downgrade results in a bricked phone. Luckily the phone will still fastboot, so I flashed TWRP (custom recovery). Once I was able to get into TWRP, I could see the phone as a MTP on my PC so I copied Cyanogenmod & GApps over and installed them. Fixed the brick, may try to go stock if somebody leaks the xml.zip for 5.1 at some point. Good luck with your phone.

Maybe we can try to send messasges to the online support. ... for example, every friday at 10:00 we concentrated to send the same message, asking for solutions to us...

if in one week we don't have any solutions, we send messages every wednesday and friday at 9:00 and 14.00

if in 15 days we don't have any solutions, we send messages every monday, wednesday and friday at 9:00, 14:00 and 20:00...

Hi experts,

Sorry for my silly suggestions, but lot of users are facing this issue and waiting for MBM-CI file. :(

Here are my questions: ;)

1.	Can’t we flash other same H/W configuration Phone OS or bootloader to Moto G like redmi or any other phone?

2.	Or we can use those phone’s MBM-CI file

3.	I saw one video about “jig usb” (Samsung unbrick), can’t we use it for Moto G to get download mode.

Hello, the problem is this was using the kitkat version 4.4.4 on my bike g1 xt1033 and decided to update it for lollipop, he made all the correct procedure but when "restarted" he hung up and gave no sign of life, have a basic understanding of "bootloader in general" I hope they can understand me hahaha. In order .... I looked topics in xda and other forums ie think my problem is the corrupt bootloader because not there it goes and how was upgrading to lollipop need the MBM-CI_5 * (bootloader lollipop) to get reinstall my bootloader but could only find the previous 4.4.4 versions, I've tried flashing the MBM-CI_4.4.4, 4.3, 4.2 will not at all.

We have also tried at the Riff JTAG BOX method, he comes to recognize as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader9008

and trying to flash the bootloader 4.4.4 it me of the following error "blank-flash: sdl-transfer-image: sdl-hello: invalid hdlc frame"

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lalfra90:
Hello, my name is Francois.

Like everybody else, I hard bricked my Moto G when I downgraded to 4.2.2

Trying to fix using qboot gives me the same errors everybody else report.

Running qboot with --debug=2 made me suspect the problem is with qboot.exe itself and not with the programmer.

When qboot.exe starts it queries the phone and reports that the Moto G accept a max Packet length of 1024 bytes.

Since qboot.exe sends packets of 4096 bytes in length, i suspect that the phone does not accept or at least does not use these packets.

Does anybody know how to change qboot.exe transfer rate from 4096 to 1024 bytes ???

Dos anybody have access to the qboot.exe source code ???

If you brick your Moto G by downgrade from 5.1.1, your bootloader is corrupted but still 41.19.
