Bricked my phone

Hey guys,

I made a big mistake by flashing an entire XT1032 Firmware image including Bootloader on an XT1039.

And I can't make any changes to the recovery and system partitions.

I got the stock recovery tough.

Before I did this I got the 4.4.4 kitkat version.

For more info about my problem check this thread I made, to see what is going on with my phone: http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/help/please-help-phone-doesnt-boot-t3104363

Can i unbrick my phone??
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawnsingh:
It is hard to tell have. So you flashed firmware from a different phone onto the moto g
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yes this was by accident. I can get in the bootloader menu, but when I flash my recovery nothing happens. I'm still getting the stock recovery.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrTangalanga3:
Try flashibg the Motoboot.img file of the 4.4.4 android version, then, try flashing all the others files except for gpt.bin

That worked for me once even that I soft bricked my XT1032, not the 1039, but it worked.

Sorry I'm pretty new to flashing and stuff. where can I find that file and is flashibg this command: mfastboot boot name.img

Good news brothers.....xt1032 usa going to get lollipop in 2 to 3 weeks...customers being notified to update their motorola update services app

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oversleeper:
Hi everyone,

I've been very busy in the last period and I couldn't answer most of you. Basically the question I get is always the same: why the unbrick tool doesn't work?

It doesn't work because it's outdated. Unfortunately my forecast about the updated version has been wrong, due to a delay of leakers. I noticed the community is trying to keep it up through this thread, I'm happy about that. Obviously I'll release the new tool as soon as possible.

Cheers :good:

These is "XT1064" in the filename, XT1064 it's one of the 2nd generation Moto G models.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyber.:
I don't think the files will ever be leaked because they don't even exist,lollipop is 6 months old now and in around 4 months the next android version will be released and that's when I will loose all hope of reviving our moto g.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urover:
True.

I went ahead and purchased an Android One device by Karbonn. Trust me, this is the device closest to Moto G's speed and features (except for lower pixel density).
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabithmk:
There is chance of leak. Never loose hope. :D

The previous 4.4.4 MBM-CI files were leaked from Verizon ROM. The hope is, lollipop is not yet released for Verizon Moto G. I strongly believe that the files will be with Verizon Lollipop update. :fingers-crossed: :good:

To further rekindle hope; in the past, it's not just the Verizon (XT1028) Firmware Image that included the MBM-CI files - but also in the Boost US (XT1031), Republic Wireless US (XT1031) and the XT1032 Claro Puerto Rico 4.4.2 images.

There are multiple avenues the MBM-CI files could arrive by.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrtana:
Hi, I'm not Oversleeper but I'm pretty sure new tool should be in new factory image. Motorola doesn't release those images publicly, you should check http://www.firmware-team.com/forumdisplay.php?f=14 and http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=25&page=1 for new images :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Death Row:
Oh, okay. So i'm guessing that the gpe 5.0.1 firmware will come out the quickest because the update came first. Do you know when will the newest firmware come out?

I'm guessing that it doesn't even have to be the gpe version, because the same qboot tool will be in other firmwares.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrtana:

Clearly you are not following this thread, since everyone here says that you need to wait for the proper files. You can't downgrade the bootloader to 4.4.4, we need the files for 5.0.1 first.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oversleeper:
Nope. It can't help, just wait for a new release;)

Just wait for a new release;)

Usually it's released about 3-4 weeks after the OTA (Moto OTA, not GPE OTA). Don't worry I don't have to find it, will be uploaded as soon as available.;)

Long push the power button then reconnect the usb. Usually you get this error when your device is not ready.

Nope, unfortunately not from every factory image...

Long push the power button then reconnect the usb. Usually you get this error when your device is not ready.

Trying to understand what exactly happened...

Hello all and happy new year!

This is my first post in XDA, unfortunately in this thread.

As many of you, I tried to do the Stock US -> GPE 4.4.4 -> OTA GPE 5.0.1 -> GPE 4.4.2 -> OTA GPE 4.4.4 for my XT1032 and now I'm faced with a bricked phone. I had done the same one more time before, however skipping the GPE 4.4.2 part. My mistake was using the MotoTool AIO this time which advised to use 4.4.2 GPE. I cannot afford to replace the phone at the moment and I have no replacement. Let's just say... lesson learned!

I am a newbie to the flashing scene, but I'm trying to understand what exactly has happened to my phone so that I can understand better the inner workings of Android. I am guessing that what has really happened was that the bootloader was updated to 41.18 from the previous version of 41.13. After a day of research, my questions are:

1. Since I've done that before, why was I able to downgrade on two separate instances to 4.4.4 and to 4.4.2 and everything went fine and the phone was working but OTA 4.4.4 from 4.4.2 could not work? Shouldn't the bootloader handle 4.4.4 like it did before? Is there a different kernel that the newer bootloader now doesn't like?

2. Can the bootloader be overwritten with an earlier version, either by brute force (something like linux dd) or using QPST, or forcing somehow Cyanogen mod? Could it be replaced by the MotoG 2014 Lollipop BL?

Thank you very much for your time and your overall great community!

Could these steps be used on a Verizon Prepaid Moto G (XT1028) phone with Android 4.4.4 that has NOT been bricked to unlock the bootloader?

As you may know, Motorola's website is not giving bootloader unlock codes for this specific marketed phone. Based on other forum posts, there are no technical reasons for Motorola refusing to give unlock codes for Verizon Prepaid Moto G phones. For phone service, you have to keep Verizon Prepaid phone service for 6 months before the phone can be used on a MNVO like Page Plus, Straight Talk, etc. However, it appears that Motorola is refusing to give the bootloader unlock code with no consideration of the 6 months of service with Verizon Prepaid.

It would great to disable the bloatware on the phone, but root access is needed to disable useless annoying apps. :)

P.S. Yes...I am aware of the Sunshine app (costs $25) and pie.jar exploit. There are threads on the XDA forum that explains these methods will not work on the Verizon Prepaid Moto G with Android 4.4.4.
