Take the warranty still has

I recently bricked my xt1033 when I tried to update the GPE 4.4.2 to 4.4.4, and it was still under warranty (1 month) with bootloader unlocked by the motorola site, so I took the authorized call wb celulares and they exchanged the motherboard :D.

The phone did not care or in fastboot, but was recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB qdloader 9008

I'm from Brazil, Belo Horizonte

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emmmile:
I am/was in the same situation as many of you. I downgraded from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 bricking the device. This is my story..

After I realized I made a mess I tried to flash again the 5.0.2 (I only found the BR version), but no luck. Basically I was stuck on the "unlocked bootloader" screen, without being able to boot normally the system or any recovery. Therefore I thought, as I read on this thread, to

have bricked the device

.

I tried then to relock the bootloader (basically to avoid the "unlocked bootloader" screen and have better chances at the motorala repair centre :angel: ), and of course I got so many errors that the bootloader is still unlocked, but I noticed that now

I can boot into the recovery

. So I tried to flash CWM and it works.

I have flickering, but the recovery seems to work well. Also ADB is working well. The first time I booted there it gave me some errors about the partitions (something like "couldn't mount partition X"), so probably I have messed partitions, but now the error disappeared.

Now that I can boot into the recovery there is any chance I can unbrick the device? Or it's still better to look for a new phone?

Thank you :o

Hi guys i bricked my moto g . i try this instruction in 1st post but my phone dont want run bootloader :( when i click flashbat my phone installing something and error . i dont know what is going on . Sorry for my bad english :/
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel84cs:
Whait in this moment not is possible to exit from brick....:(
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
so let me get this straight for you all who didn't bother to read the last few pages:

if you can boot into bootloader: this is no hardbrick, you're in the wrong thread.

if you are stuck at the boot logo (either motorola or google logo): this is no hardbrick, you're in the wrong thread.

if your device looks completely unresponsive (no screen on, nothing happens, no matter what you do) and your battery is charged: this is the right thread.

if your phone is only recognized as "QHUSB_something" by the pc: this is the right thread.

if you have flashed the 5.0 update then downgraped to 4.4.x and now are stuck with the above mentioned circumstances ("no screen on, nothing happens, no matter what you do"): no, we currently can't help you. we need to wait for the 5.0. factory image before we can fix it (because we need a file from it).

We could always try to send him assistance hoping for a warranty repair, or paying for the work, I do not think it can cost as much, being a smartphone cheap ..

I am on the same your situation, we can not throw a smartphone that worked great, you might not find a solution, I am not a MotoG users, the Moto G is my girlfriend, is the first time I've heard of MBM-CI and is the first time that brick making a smartphone with a firmware downgrade stock .... crazy stuff .... Sure you never buy a smartphone more than a Nexus .... What a horrible situation ... I have seen that there are several files MBM in the OTA but I would not know how to make them useful for our purpose ... From what I see nobody starts moving to resolve the situation.

Okay so i think its safe to assume that we may get the files we need from motorola. All i want to know is will a logic board swap work? I've found a couple of deals for xt1032 logic boards and i'm considering it. Also mine's an XT1033, changing to a 1032 board should work right?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mato_d007:
I don't want to sound repetitive but if you still have warranty, take your brick to a service center (a different one this time if you already tried). They are likely to replace the board for free. Just try to say that the phone died on its own, you are innocent and you don't know what happened. If your phone shows the unlocked logo, try to change it to the standard. You have nothing to lose...

Please stop listening to this guy.

Lots of experienced programmers have been trying to unbrick it without the files for 7 months already. Nobody was able to do it. I don't see how some random guy will do it now.

Why? Because it's simply not possible. You're all wasting time with false hopes. We need the proprietary programmer file and only Motorola has it. It's not inside any phones. There's no way to extract or create it.

What you guys are all trying to do is generate a singleimage, which is USELESS. Even if you did it there would be no use, because the image has to be digitally signed by Motorola and flashed by the proprietary programmer.

Without all 3 files we can't do anything. We need the new qboot, a digitally signed singleimage and the 5.0.1 programmer file. So the only hope we have is waiting for the 5.0.1 fastboot image to be leaked which will have all these files.

But I doubt it will be released now that most phones are going straight to 5.0.2 and 5.1.0.

I don't like saying all that but it's the sad truth. I really wanted this guy to be able to help us, but he can't. No one can, and you all refuse to accept that.

I was waiting since November. I just gave up and bought another phone.

Hi guys.

I'm following this thread for awhile and it seems the only thing left to try at the hardbricked Moto G is JTAGing it with a Programmable Box like z3x or Riff.

But, since those programmable boxes are too expensive, I'm not buying any. Instead, I'll search for a technician or repair center that could use it on my phone.

When I get this done, I'll be back with the results.

Maybe android 5.1?

I red today a news about updates to xt1032 and xt1033.

The guy on google+ said that MotoG-LTE will take system update from android 4.4.4 to 5.1. Directly to latest, from kitkat.

And my questions are:

1)will motorola release the official image for MotoLTE or they will just release OTA?

2)will that image of android 5.1 works for bricked 5.0.1?

Motog xt1032 will recive android 5.1 too .

What do you think guys, Is it a good idea to wait for new android with hope that it will be working?
