i forgot this work from [MENTION=5860594]tal.aloni[/MENTION] explaning so much about bootloader and hab in boot process of msm8226...

make this words my own!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reynard80:
Indeed, makes things clear enough. A programmer.mbn from another manufacturer would be no help.

Maybe this should be in the OP.

Waiting for a leak seems the only option.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KStoev:
It would appear that 5.1 is coming soon maybe thats the last chance that we get a full flash instead of OTAs. Here's the link:

motogmotox.com/moto-g-and-moto-x-are-receiving-android-5-1-lollipop-update/
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tal.aloni:
AFAIK that would be impossible,

SW_ID is a two-bit value, the two fuses that makes SW_ID can be blown once, and cannot be "unblown",

because of this, those fuses can only denote 3 version numbers: version 0 (0x00), version 1 (0x01), and version 2 (0x03).

The XT1032 comes with SW_ID = 00, this is version 0, and the Lollipop sbl1.mbn is still SW_ID= 00 as well.

One possible explanation is that the programmer.mbn is supposed to work with ANY SW_ID the phone has been set to, so when using Emergency download mode, it's checked against SW_ID = 0x03.

(If that's indeed the case, than the reason the programmer does not work is because the programmer itself has additional checks)

Hi Guys, i really know that everybody asks the same, but i´ve got my Moto G dead, tried the jtag and no results, stock when apliying the bat file, also know that is necesary to have de lollipop tar.gz to revive the moto g, but, to try to keep calm and to know how log will I (and everyelse who cant buy a new one) be unloged from technology =(... does any one know other methods that could be used ... i´m really sad and please dont tell me to buy a new phone.... i hope there is "hope" to repair our moto g
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F43nd1r:
There is hope. But there is no ETA.

You can:

a) wait

b) buy a used Moto G (e.g. with a broken display) and use its motherboard

c) buy a new phone

I had my phone bricked, and ur thread gave me some hope and i decided to wait a month and even after 3 months there is no lollipop bootloader available...

I gave my phone to Service Center and they replaced Motherboard for free....
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] objr:
I also send it in warranty to Motorola assistance.

My came back with written: "UNREPAIRED - BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED".

I bought an 8Gb version with broken display and bumped the motherboard inside my old 16Gb body!

Brick? Software or Hardware?

Hello,

I updated the phone of my wife Moto G LTE per OTA and the screen is black and stays black. My phone has the normal Motorola StockROM 4.4.4 but with bootloader unlocked and it worked fine. While updateing in recovery mode there was to read "Status 7" and it aborted. Then I was asked if i would fix root (it is propably not rooted it says) I said yes and now the phone didn't reboot anymore. I was trying to do unbrick it with this method, but I don't see the phone at my windows 7 pc. It's "unknown device" under usb. I tried to deinstall all drivers and install, I tried the windows testmode and the F8, I tried to manual install drivers - nothing changed, just a black screen. Of cause I also tried to go in recovery or download mode and hold "Volume up" / or "down" for a (long) while and other USB-Ports at PC.

Please can anybody help me with my soft- or hardware-brick (I don't know what it is)? ...or my wife will kill me.

:(

For me it doesn't really matter, I got lots of phones to use and will recover the dead G once the proper files are out, but many ppl lost hope and either bought new phone or repaired it by changing the mobo.

Anyway it's now been 7 months for some ppl and that's beyond any reasonable time frame.

Just wondering, anyone with any bootloader lower than lollipop resurrected their hardbricked moto g? I mean ANYONE? Didn't see one guy saying thanks it worked for me... Ok, put us Lollipop people aside, but if it's not working for bootloaders of 4.4.* , then may be the fault lies somewhere else too??? Just curious.

Anyone with any useful information - please advice!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LasseWolpmann00:
I got bricked, when I made an update from 4.4.2 -> 4.4.4 too. The important thing, is your bootloader version. I downgraded from 5.0 to 4.4.2 but my bootloader version was the Android 5.0 version. Thats why the tool doesnt work for me. I think you need the bootloader 41.13 and when you were on 5.0 you have 41.18. Not sure, but I think so
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0rtal_frei:
Lollipop was not involved in my case, straight 4.4.2-4.4.4 OTA upgrade.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveroy:
If you never upgraded to lollipop, then you have some problem that is not related to the bootloader.

The tool is made by motorola and it works very well.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0rtal_frei:
Yeah, but I got a brick during 4.4.2->4.4.4 upgrade - screen just went black and phone never turns on again. Can't imagine what this problem can be related to except to the bootloader.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveroy:
There is your answer. You have your bootlader corrupted like 99% of the ppl here. Therefore the tools available won't work for you, which they don't as you've already said.

The brick ALL the ppl that wait here happened during 4.4.2-> 4.4.4. Since you got no idea if the phone was updated to lollipop before that, then you should assume it was, due to the simple fact that you cannot restore it with the tools available. Also the issue occurred exactly at the same point as the rest. Very unlikely that this is a coincidence, don't you think?

Found a way

hey all, im so excited looks like i found a way to unbrick the moto g after bad/downgrade bootloader.

i'll post you all some pics.

all of the needed files i got from 3 different mix of OTA,and unofficial firmwares.

no need of using qboot or using programmer/single.mbn.

it is using the unbrick tool from oneplus one, and looks like the tool accepts the moto g, and able to flash

right now it is flashing a dummy msimage.mbn, having some progress.

if you guys can help me, i need the msimage.mbn from the moto g so that the flashing can be done.

[General Topics] mikesands:
Can anyone give me some clear logical steps to prevent Activesync from deleting my files after a restore.

The desktop has my latest files - photos etc. The backup has older ones. So then I do a restore (from Sprite on an SD card) and assume that the files now on the unit will be overwritten with the latest ones from the desktop at the next activesync.

It even asks me if I want to overwrite the files on the unit or merge them, and I choose overwriting.

So how do I always end up with virtually no files on either the desktop or my unit. (I still have most of them in the various Sprite restore files, and for piccies this is OK but my various excel files will have moved on and I have lost data if I keep having to go back to these older ones).

I think it's something to do with hard resets and new partnerships ..... but my head's getting tired thinking it through

Thanks

Hi there. We have a problem with a galaxy mini plus. Its stuck in a boot-loop and after a long time of trying we believe the internal /data is fried/not working in a hardware matter of speaking.

-saruboy
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] saruboy:
We've tried that of course. As I said I believe the internal /data partition has been HARDWAREly corrupted, and no reflashing is gonna fix that. Thats why im kindly asking anyone for a script that would during boot mount sd-ext partition instead of the real /data without using the real /data at all. Thanks.
