What Qualcomm driver version are you seeing under device manager when it is connected?

Also your boot loader or flashing was locked it seems as you can see the difference in the log output from the others who just attempted where you show secure = yes. Theirs show secure = no. Not that this matters I think.

Well, I sent my Z Play to technical support and in a week they returned me with the logic board changed and Android stock restored.

Or they do not know about the registration on the website or they do not care -kk.

I'm about to do that for the second time here in the UK. First time was becasue I wiped my /efs leaving my Moto Z Play to be a 5.5" tablet. They replaced my motherboard so maybe I can try and pretend that the motherboard was faulty. I have no idea what unlocking a bootloader means.......

Hi everybody:

Follow this page:

http://www.aryk.tech/2016/12/toolstudio-emmc-download-tool-helps-you.html?m=1

They asked me for my IMEI, and they confirm that I am working on helping me to save my device, I have told them that in case of helping us all we will make a donation for the help, I asked them to tell us a quantity and not to do the Change of logic board.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] tiberiuharcsa:
Well a factory firmware is needed...we dont have it. I doubt they can do anything whithout motorola firmware...but I will be happy to make a donation if they solve it ;)
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] OrBy:
We do have a Motorola specific factory firmware file from the Lenovo Russian forum - but it's of an older version and the files in it don't seem to work with the newer bootloader that upgraded/bricked phones have.

If some one managed to convert it from the Motorola specific format to the Qualcomm format it may be possible to unbrick with it - but then again it may not. (if the 1.07 upgrade blew a efuse and the 1.05 bootloader checks the fuses then there is not much we can do)

In the end the best way to fix our phones would be to get a newer factory file complete with an updated blankflash files (bootloader 1.07 and OS 7.1 or above).

Unless some kind soul that works for higher up at Motorola or one of there service centers leaks such a thing (at a risk to their job no doubt) - I don't know if there is much that can be done for our phones right now.

I have no idea how the Lenovo Russian forum got the 7.0 file - but my guess is that it was not easy - and they are rightly so going to be unwilling to share their source.

I know I would kick a few bucks to whoever managed to leak it - but even that would leave a paper trail and I doubt it would make it worth some one loosing a job over.

Hey folks! I sended my phone to Motorola Brazilian Customer Services. For some reason they don't bill me! I received the phone with android 7.0 and works perfectly. I don't intend back to custom rom to avoid brick the phone again. I think it's a good idea try to do it in your country.

Quick Update: Moto Z Play XT1635-02 (to be precise) unbrick files are ready but the device is not currently available at hand to make a live video tutorial or graphical illustrations with. However, I will be using a similar device to make an illustrated tutorial which shall be published soon.

Until then, I shall update you guys again.

In my country Mexico, the cost of changing the logic card that is the solution of the

*Service centers is to send it to motorola USA and cost $ 200 dollars, with local repair technicians in Mexico City charging about $ 108 for a used logic card, so I find myself saving money to do it, I have saved a Total of $ 57 dollars so far and no smartphone, I have considered buying a credit, but I am still paying for this device that I damage, in case you can help us save our device, I will donate my savings to Moment without any problem and I know very well that I remain in debt, I thought to do the same with [MENTION=962402]benzinerwin[/MENTION] but I think I abandoned the project.

*They all mention that being a donation is the amount that is in our possibilities but I would like you to consider the local cost of your region for repair to make the donation in case anyone who helps us, save

As for donating the local cost, I can not do it, because it costs the equivalent of a new cell phone, but I can make a fair donation !!

I don't think that aryk.tech page is going to be much help for us right now. I think their solutions revolve around what may have worked for older 6.x.x OS's and not newer 7.x.x+ ones.

The QHS-USB QDLoader Drivers they suggest are very old and don't seem to even support firehose download that is needed for these new devices. (blankflash errors out super early vs the drivers that come with QPST.2.7.460 actually seem to talk to the phone for a bit before timing out)

I think there idea of trying to boot a loader off the SD card could help if we got a instructions how to get a loader from a 7.1 phone however! Here is hoping they make some progress!

I did try both their suggested fixes with the loader DerSal3m posted and got no where...

Service center is 3rd party here and they wont touch bootloader unlocked phones - they check ESN/IMEI and wont touch. If you can suggest a place to send it to in North America that will take it - I would send it off today!

Same I/O error everyone else is getting.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] highjack2k:
I have tried a dozen programmer blobs with qboot and the qualcomm flasher utility. And nothing works.

The apply_patch_check update method is a stupid nonsense in the flasher, with the intention to lock up the phones. At least there is some check in the method. I did not find the source of motorola.update_gpt, which should be source of the brick.

I build my own images and multi boot devices since Android 2.1 on my HTC Desire. Unbricked my Xperia Z Ultra without recovery image. And all works fine. Till now. It's really a shame of Motorola to lock the phone. I have paid for it and cannot use it, because of such a ****ty company policy.

Thank you for your good intention. It was a great help while searching for information and solutions.

bricked another one :)

Just for u to know. I briked another one. How did it happen:

- Android 7.0.1 Installed -> April OTA Patch -> Reflash to Android 7.0.1 January Patch -> BL Unlock/Rooted -> few weeks on 7.0.1 Jan -> Reflash to 7.0.1 to remove root to get OTA back -> OTA April incoming -> Phone rebooting -> Update process -> Reboot -> phone bricked QLOADER 9008

I still had the loader.img from exactly this phone but it is not booting :(

So two phones are waiting for a new blank-flash file.

moto z play brick

Good afternoon! I'm with moto z play bricked I can not connect someone has a solution, motorola wants to change motherboard, but I know that with blankflash I can revive help me
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] OrBy:
Blankflash could come out tomorrow, next week/month/year, or never.

There are some other 3-4 year old phones that never got one yet - blankflash are not official releases and have to be leaked at risk to the employee that leaks them.

Also realize that there may not be a blankflash that can fix these - blankflash could primarily be a way to prepare new phones on the factory line.

A phone that has been used and upgrades installed on it could have had efuses blown on the CPU that could prevent a blankflash from being able to work correctly as part of the upgrades.

Motorola may not need to make a new blankflash, and if they do not need to - why would they?

If you want your phone for sure fixed so you can use it - change the motherboard.

If you want to wait, then wait, but just know that you may be waiting for a solution that may not come - but we all hope that it will.
