My XT1650-03 RETEU reacted good on the blankflash .

With the OREO update I can ( by mfastboot ) flash the partition and the bootloader . And also some small partitions like logo , modems ... but not oem.img , boot.img , recovery.img and more . It seems the validation of the rom didn't pass . Does anyone had the same problem ? Any solutions ?

Also RSDlite 6.2.4 does not detect my moto Z .
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] thewerthon:
I think RSD Lite will work only on Windows 7.

It is recognized as Qualcomm US-USB Qdloader 9008 or Fastboot Sheridan?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Boosh63:
I installed Windows 7 on an old laptop and RSD Lite did in fact see my phone. When trying to flash the OREO firmware it failed. Should I be flashing 7.1.1 then the 8.0 one?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] w.fortes:
Extract ROM (Oreo) and remove this lines on flashfile.xml

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Boosh63:
Do I keep deleting the steps that fail? It failed flashing NON-HLOS.bin. 2/31 according to RSD Lite.

No that's not it. I was just thinking out loud Would Flashing a 7.1.1 ROM be advisable?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] koenvds:
I believe to have the same problem as boosh23 . Blankflash worked , partition and bootloader flashed , but for the other partitions ( for example recovery.img ) I get :

c:\moto Z\oreo>mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

target max-sparse-size: 256MB

sending 'recovery' (32772 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.735s]

writing 'recovery'...

(bootloader) Image recovery failed validation

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

Has anybody a different firmware then OPL27.76-51 ROM ?

Or if there are gents where the OPL27.76-51 ROM worked , can they confirm there type of moto-z ? Mine is European 32Gb
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Boosh63:
Looks like the blankflash file may have locked my bootloader. Is that what t is supposed to do? On the bootloader screen I see "oem_locked" and the Software Status is still "modified".

How do I unlock my bootloader if this is the case? It would not unlock using my unique code.

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Boosh63:
My solution was to extract the provided 8.0 ROM and manually execute all the commands from the flashfile.xml I am not sure what was stopping RSD Lite from going but doing the flashing line by line did the trick. I hope I left enough thanks for everyone.

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Boosh63:
I downloaded and installed Notebook++ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ and then extracted the 8.0 ROM included in this thread a few posts back. I opened flashfile.xml in Notebook++ so I could see the flash operations. From there I just used flashboot to issue each operation one by one in the order they appeared in the xml file.

So what if you buttons don't work? coworker has this issue right now. Buttons won't work. So, got it to go into bootloader mode, then waiting on fastboot commands. No drivers work. Then unplug the phone, it turns off. Plug phone in, shows charging info. But since the power button, or volume buttons don't work...phone won't turn on. Guess that is the end of this phone.

Can anyone share some wisdom with me?

I had to downgrade to stock 7.1.1 through fastboot after installing the P Preview.

Everything worked, I hoped to actually get to stock 8.0 through stock OTAs.

The first OTA went fine but the phone got bricked after the Novemeber security patch one.

So far I tried 3 different blankflash programs and they spit out pretty much the same errors.

https://hastebin.com/tubuzakequ.css

And this one when I try holding the power+volume up buttons while connected.

https://hastebin.com/ehigirevev.php

And I was told that it has to do with the power draw of the cables I used.

I tried using a thick USB C 3.0 cable, a classic 2.0 one and a usb c dock. All of them resulted in the same errors.

Do I need to find another cable or am I missing something else?

EDIT

Using the blankflash version mentioned in this post, the Xiaomi Mi 5 charger cable and another PC, it did it from the first try without me needing to press or hold any button.

But yeah, I hade the exact same error as the person above, I couldn't flash anything through fastboot and when I tried unlocking the bootloader again, it would say "Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android Settings > Developer

(bootloader) Options".

After playing around, the gpt.bin parts from the Oreo OTA in OP fixed it. Just flash them in order just like you'd flash the regular gpt.bin.

Then I flashed the gpt.bin from the complete Oreo zip in the mentioned post through fastboot by following the file flash order from the servicefiles.xml and the phone booted.

Hello my friends, finally my problem was solved. I was on android 7.1 (XT1650-03)and after I made an update via OTA (official) my phone dies. Didn't even power on, nothing...no sign.

I read all the topic and it took me about 4h to solve, testing many blank flashes, gpt.bins and roms.

First i use the last blankflash provided by [MENTION=6298645]erfanoabdi[/MENTION] in this topic, second I flash the gpt.bin from this ROM (GRIFFIN_OPL27.76-51_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC) , them I flashed the entire ROM via fastboot and my phone goes Live!

I still have a serious battery drain (after android 8.0 update) but I'm testing some things to minimize this.

Thank you all!!!

BIG LIAR

Hi . I would also like to see a video tutorial with someone who managed to unbrick on the Motorola moto Z XT1650-03. I think it's all a lie. I've been trying for two weeks to bring the phone back to life, but no chance. I'm trying to do this with the blankflash in your post but no chance. The phone is seen as qualcomm, with windows put in test mode, you press v- and power. I click blankflash of dreams and night. All the time I'm wrong. Something with shara failed. Finally . I guess those who say you have been mischievous. To brothers, I think it's cabbage. Made to block phones, end batteries, etc. I think those who make these softwares from big manufacturing companies are paying to finish our new phones and obviously buy new ones. That's why they advise everyone not to make any donations and not to encourage such producers as the XDA. If you want donations, give solutions to your brothers. You are the ones who take advantage of the naivety of the suckers. That's why you provide documentation and software, unlock bootloader commands on any phone. That the naive people believe and update on your software. Although you are warned that you are not responsible, I will bear the greatest blame. And phone companies allow you because they're hand in hand with you. You are paid by them to destroy the phones. I will never use a soft piece down from you and I do not want to know that you already exist. I hope you burn in hell.

To all the people blaming me for whatever... i posted this thread more than a year ago. It was working back then. My phone died again last year and never recovered. The android versions have changed since then, so the blankflash file posted here wont work obviously because your bootloader also gets updated when you update your device to a newer version. I would suggest you to find the correct blankflash file for you bootloader version.

And like i said, my device died last year and never recovered, so i wont be solving issues here anymore.

Any idea ? Thank you
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] armaghejohn:
Try this.

Hy . Try to make the same step but in another version off windows . Better windows 8.1 64 bit edition . Use the same blank flash . Use the same gpt.bin and finaly use the same or newer firmware or you allways have the same bootloader error like downgrade security . But it is hard to brick your phone twice. Bringit back to life and try to live the phone in peace. Or you can lock it forever . Don`t try to relock bootloader . If you try that you are going to brick the phone again . Try this blankflash . i think right now your Bootloader version is 92.03 . TRY THIS COMMAND FOR FLASHING FIRMWARE : fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn fastboot erase modemst1 fastboot erase modemst2 fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin fastboot flash logo logo.bin fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot flash recovery recovery.img fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.10 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.11 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.12 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.13 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.14 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.15 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.16 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.17 fastboot flash oem oem.img fastboot erase cache fastboot erase userdata fastboot erase customize fastboot erase clogo fastboot reboot. At final do this comand: fastboot oem fb_mode-clear . That`s becouse your phone it is going to boot in bootloader mode first . If you are not ok with your blankflash version , can be change with comand : fastboot oem blanklash . But the blankflash must work whidout press power and vol down . That`s a lie. After all this step if you use adb devices comand you can see your device but with the mention unautorized near. Than use this comand in adb : fastboot kill-server and after that fastboot start-server . Now try adb devices and your phone is just like new . Except that logo with : Your device has been unlocked ............. boot in 5 sec. That you suport . If you try to relock bootloader your phone is death . My advise is to not make any update via ota or other stuff .

You did something else

I have told you what version to use . You need one official version . And moto Z never update to official 8.1 android you have to use official 8.0 firmware to work . If you use another gpt.bin you going to have one big error from bootloader : SECURITY VERSION DOWNGRADE . Use gpt.bin from :

GRIFFIN_OPL27.76-51_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml . Read with maximum atention . I have told you that early . Have a nice day . Injury is not one solution .

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

It work`s . But use official firmware . Not TWRP , not other unofficial firmware like 8.1 . After that you can instal TWRP but if you brick your phone again you are going to wait after blankflash becouse your bootloader version will be 92.03 . If you wan`t to scare other to try this your mistake. It is really work`s .
