[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azbtaurus:
Though this what happening to me after OTA update from 4.4.4. To lollipop:

Phone got bricked with no sine of life at all except short led blink (white) when connect to PC or long press power bottom (blinks twice).

After following the guide from first post I have this :

And then when blank flash I get this (each time):

All the drivers are installed and signature verification off - test mode on - windows 7 64 bit 7601.

It also gets a bit warm (I think, not sure) when I leave on wall or PC charging.

Have no physical damage.

Will appreciate any help, thank you.

So people of XDA, thank you at least for reading my post, I'm beginning to think (after reading lots of articles about Qualcomm devices, programmers, HDLC frames and the way they work) that my bootloader is corrupt, and there is no way for to get into system...

So here is what I came up with, for those who are facing problems like :error reading packet - on the blank-flash step, I have a really bad news (sorry, but still there is a hope!).

After analyzing all that i have - seems like we have bootloader bricked (for those who are getting - error reading packet) or partition table massed up (for those who are getting - invalid HDLC frame).

programmer.mbm checks for the bootloader version and if it can't identify that there is a right bootloder version it will keep telling you - error reading packet

That takes me to an conclusion that (in my case) the OTA update from android 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 or 5.1 repartitions the phone storage and updates the bootloader - if partition script goes wrong - updater gets a wrong block to write a new bootloder - as result now I have a wrong partition and no bootloader.

But what you need to know about me before judging me for what I wrote is I'm new in android development and have a very little knowledge and experience in hardware programming (especially Qualcomm).

So now I'm really hoping for someone who understands it all to help me get back my right partition and flash a right bootloader into a hardbricked (if not dead - led blinks sometimes) MOTO G XT 1032 MSM8226 CS.

Blank-Flash usually re-lock bootloader until you flash back the stock rom. On my case was locked with the unbrick, then when I tried to re-unlock it said "it's already unlocked" and so it was xd
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilikered:
I think blankflash doesn't relock but shows wrong status until you flash gpt.bin and motoboot.img. But once you flash these two files and reboot, the status shows correct.

Hi guys, well, my case is very strange because my phone then of "blankflash" process achieved power on, but when I enter to "bootloader" the battery status shows "Battery OK(charging)"(in green), and then a few minutes the status change to "Battery OK"(in green), this isn't true because on some moments I can see Status: "Battery Low",(in red). I press "vol up" button on "Normal Powerup" option or "Factory" option to see battery status change. I had to erase all partitions to can do this process because with the "boot" partition flashed, the phone try to boot on android system but the screen comes black and the phone reboot, like a cycle. This happened with the phone connected with USB to PC. When I try to do this process with a wall charger I can see the battery icon in all screen but with 0%. I tried flash differents "Stock Roms" but I've don't had solutions. Please try to help me with some information about this. I need to make that the battery status changes to "Battery Low (Charging)".

in device manager what you see?

you must download motorola device manager and reboot "PC"

after that you will see in devices manger Motorola ADB Interface

here is link

3

download this rom

4

extract the file of rom..

and

copy all of them in to the folder where you installed mini adb

after you done

start flashing by start mini adb

and copy past this command

mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img

Extracted ASIAN 5.1 stock rom (the one you sugested) in minibal adb and fastboot installation directory .

Attention Moto G 2nd generation users. Unbrick using SD card dump

Can anybody create a the following file from working Moto g(2014). ?.It will save Many devices. Please give a google drive link.

Reference from below Threads.....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2660566

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2549068

Explanation:

How to UNBRICK:

Credit goes to these guys in this thread, I thought i was onto something origional, however after doign some searching i found others have figured this out for a different Variant of the S3

What you did:

Bricked downgrading the bootloader after upgrading to the 4.3 bootloader. The 4.3 bootloader appears to blow efuses that stop previous boot loaders from booting. Now your EMMC has non booting garbage on/in it. YAY! not...

What we are doing:

What we will be doing is writing the Partition layout (Partition.mbn) among other things to the SD so the phone will boot from it after it fails to boot from the EMMC. According to my research the CPU is designed to cascaded from one storage device to the other in the event of failure on the first device. This also means if your EMMC is smoked, you could technically run the whole rom and everything from the sd card, or that's my assumption.

What you need:

- A Micro SD card 16GB or larger. this will no work on smaller cards, i tried a 2GB 4 GB and 8GB for the sake of testing and it fails.

- A working Dump that includes the SBL1, SBL2, SBL3, aboot, TZ and RPM from a working device that matches your DEVICE MODLE ie: I747U or I747M If you wanto t create your own dump from a friends device the command in a rooted adb shell would be as follows but not exact depending where you want the dump file to end up being on your sd cards.

"dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard1/debrick.bin bs=1024 count=81920"

That is what I used my my co-workers CM 10.2 rom to get the 4.3 bootloader/debrick dump. NOTE: the device has to be rooted with a working busybox that supports the dd command.

- The ability to write the dump image to the micro sdcard.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinamos:
Oh I tried with your archives too, but after a long research I could solve it.

The main problem was the bootloader 41.1A was rejecting the ROM's files, so I just had to download the newest 5.1 xt1033 ROM' (which was presumably compatible with bootloader 41.1A). After that I could flash gpt.bin and motoboot, but I still got the preflash validation error when trying to flash logo.bin, boot, etc. So without closing the CMD I typed mfastboot reboot. The phone rebooted with bootloader unlocked and status code 3. After that I could flash logo.bin boot.img, recovery.img and so on :)

bootloader had been unlocked previously but blankflash showed Device is Locked

Battery was always in green (OK).
