when i said w 8.1 i refered to windows 8.1 64 bits hahaha... i got in my pc Windows 10. Today i bought a hard disk and installed windows 8.1 64bits to try. and nothing happens
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] fvckih:
what version before hard brick ? latest firmware or nougat ?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] armaghejohn:
You must use android 8.0 firmware . Nougat it is not accepted. You will receive error from bootloader when you flash gpt.bin : SECURITY DOWNGRADE . Use a firmware with the same level or higher ( newer) like the one you have before brick your phone.

That guy who goes on to say he's not going does not know what he's talking about, or he's trying to discourage others. I do not need nobody's money or donations. I posted the idea that I was looking for a solution for a month and maybe I can help others. He is trying to use an unofficial lineage 8.1. It will never go unbrick with an unofficial softface like Lineage 8.1. It is not a rule to use windows 8.1. It can also go with windows 10. I managed to go to Windows 8.1. I have used as firmware: GRIFFIN_OPL27.76-51_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml. I do not need any donation. This material is for educational purposes. That is why I am not responsible for any failure of your phone. Have a good day .
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] kilombero:
I never wanted to discourage anyone. I am saying what is happening to me, and I am still looking for help to solve my problem. maybe it's my problem that I do not use the same blank flash as you did because I had already resuscitated it from the hardbrick ... could my bootloader have been corrupted?

How to use another blankflash

You can allways change your blankflash. With minimal adb and your phone conected to pc type the comand : fastboot oem blankflash. And your phone is in hard brick again for limited time until you pres power + vol down key . Now you can install new version of blankflash. If not start use again the version of blankflash you used first time .
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] kilombero:
for example, how can i run this command using your blankflash file?

i put the files into the folder adb?

****edit****

i got my phone in hardbrick again, but the blankflash doesnt work for me :(

How tu use blankflash

No !!! You don`t have to extract blankflash zip into adb folder . Just extract to desktop or anywhere else. Connect your your phone to pc . ( if you have usb3 is better ) . Open the folder containing blankflash and hit blank-flash ( First from up ) . The one with the settings icon . You don`t need adb for blankflash . Adb is for flashing firmware ; gpt.bin ; logo.bin etc . For some users blankflash work only if they press power + vol down keys in the same moment when you run command blank-flash and after 6-7 try. For me work`s from the begining whithout press any key .
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] kilombero:
i can apply the blankflash new and when i put the gpt.bin shows me error failed partition table.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] armaghejohn:

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] armaghejohn:
Try a diferent firmware for your country zone. If you can obtain the last one and use the gpt.bin from that firmware 99% chances to work. Your problem is that you have updated your partition . If you try to flash older firmware like nougat or oreo bootloader see everything like one DOWNGRADE and don't let you flash. You need latest officiak firmware for your zone. Just ket me know your country and i'm going to check for the right version. Try flash TWRP . That error with signature you can ignore. When you riceiving messages like : writing ok it seems you have succeded write something on your phone.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] fvckih:
can someone build gpt.bin from ota update ? or share the guide, really need that gpt.bin from the latest update
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] armaghejohn:

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] armaghejohn:

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] armaghejohn:
Oem locked

Use comand for unlock bootloader. You have the code ? After that command ( you must insist ) where you have now oem locked it's going to be flash unlocked. And where you have : modified is going to be oficial. Try all the move. Iff your phone start you must unbrick the phone. It's sims to me it's not one hardware problem. It's just soft problem and can be fixed. Insist with gpt.bit from the newest room 8. :cowboy:
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] FurFur_:
Hey guys I have a problem.

My Moto Z just died some months agoo without a reason and since then it was stuck on the splashscreen. I tried everything but since I updated to Oreo it was pointless. Now Id love to know if there is a Blankflash File for my Moto Z that was updated to 8.0 .

I appreciate every little help :)
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] armaghejohn:
Unbrick motoz.

A few details please. What have you done? Did you unlocked your bootloader and ...... Did you make one downgrade to nougat and after that make one update to oreo. Whi is your phone hardbricked ? You need the right blankflash . See in my post . You are going to see the file there . But after blankflash your phone is still bricked. You will need gpt.bin from the last firmware to flash your partition. For that use command : fastboot flash partition ( and drag here the gpt.bin from your firmware ) . And after that you need to flash your firmware contain android 8 ( GRIFFIN_OPL27.76-51_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml ) but flash with specific comand . If you use older version of room you are going to recieve one big error from bootloader : SECURITY DOWNGRADE . You will need this firmware : GRIFFIN_OPL27.76-51_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml . After you manage to flash your phone it is going to display that error : your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted . To escape that error just flash logo.bin from PoweredByAndroid-V1. zip using comand : fastboot flash logo ( drag here logo bin from PoweredByAndroid-V1) . If you wan`t to try another blankflash use command : fastboot oem blankflash . At the end to avoid your phone to start in fastboot mode you have to run this comand: fastboot oem fb_mode_clear . Now your phone will boot directly from android . You will need minimal adb ; motorola usb drivers ; android universal drivers and a lot of patience . Have a nice day .

[MENTION=9061650]armaghejohn[/MENTION], Thank you very much for this post. I was able to bring back my Moto Z 1650-03 back to life after following the steps given by you.

Really appreciate the information you have shared. I started as a beginner and after reading so many posts, I guess I am amateur now in unbricking Moto Z phone :)

Thanks again!

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Ben_Hurley:
This is exactly what happened to my phone, i am stuck now in fastboot with oem locked. Problem is, i have no success in flashing the gpt. file which i believe causing the error in invalid partition name. my Bootloader is 91.09. To make the story short, I downgraded my moto z from oreo to nougat 7.0 because of the battery drain and then the auto update do its thing and bricked the phone eventually after restart. I blankflash it and now in an unusable fastboot state. I have no success in flashing manually and in RSD. Any help is much appreciated.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] bmskartik:
Once you do the blankflash (fastboot oem blankflash), system should detect it as qualcomm device. After which go ahead and use the blankflash file attached by armaghejohn (I assume you are using XT 1650-03).

now install the official ROM.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] armaghejohn:
True.

Very good
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Ben_Hurley:
You are right it is XT1650-03. Right now it is detected as Fastboot sheridan. I did the DL the file from armaghejohn but it is always corrupted or stopped from Downloading. Ill do it tonight again and let you know guys. TIA
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] armaghejohn:
Problem for your pc.

If they can download the file you have a problem with your pc or provider. I hope you can do it.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Ben_Hurley:
ok so I execute fastboot oem blankflash and then my phone turned off and device manager said it is qualcomm but with question mark, i tried to update the driver but always failed. in this stage ADB fastboot cant see my device anymore via CMD, so i press hold volume down plus power and it returned to the fastboot 91,09. Can you please explaine btw the fastboot flash partition command and drag and drop gpt.bin coz im a bit confuse how this is executed.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] armaghejohn:
Here we go.

Extract gpt.bin from firmware . Must be only that firmware . Now run comand fastboot flash partition and drag into comabd the gpt.bin file that you have extracted first. Abd after that flash firmware but only with that 17 comand. See my post.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Ben_Hurley:
I flashed the gpt.bin but still got this message.

You are not using the right room . Must find the last one firmware. See my post. That's why your bootloader failed : security downgrade. Your bootloader is now 91.09 but after flash the right room it is going to be 92.03. See my post . There you will find link to the last firmware. I can tell you now that you are very close.
