Try flashing Albus blankflash
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] AgustinGps:
Hi, my question is if i can flash an oficcial Stock Rom in order to relock the device. That is possible?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] 59jqw:
Nope
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] AgustinGps:
And do you know where i can find bootloader.img, gpt.bin and recovery.img for a stock rom?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] 59jqw:
If you revived your potter with the albus blankflash, you have to flash then twrp to install the deodexed rom that you can find here in xda. That's as close to stock as you can get! also you can flash a custom rom. But no more stock for us ☹️
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] AgustinGps:
Thank you

In conclusion we must wait in order to flash an original stock rom.

can anyone help me i too have hard bricked my moto g5 plus
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] dunderball:
How is it that people are hard bricking this device? I have an unlocked bootloader and rooted with Magisk, and still have stock recovery. In the future, when any OTAs arrive, I plan on flashing the stock boot image and simply take the OTA after that. Is there a chance of getting hard bricked while doing this?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] imgks:
[MENTION=4725839]dunderball[/MENTION]

People here who have hard bricked this device are mainly because of flashing wrong rom or OTA. In my case it was the OTA update and I'll recommend you to ask people who have already updated their devices.

Honesty saying, 0.67 OTA has some serious issues, that may not be there in upcoming updates. Just be aware of what you flash. That's all.

Hold up, don't we use albus blankflash instead of potter?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] marcustut:
I wanted to try potter's blankflash first before I proceed with albus since if the potter blankflash success then I can keep the original bootloader

EDIT1:

After an hour of charging I tried plugging it in to PC again this time holding VOL Down button while plugging in the cable, it works! It was detected as QDLoader 9008 again ;D

Then I managed to get it boot into fasboot mode through albus blankflash and flashed Z Play's GPT, Bootloader and Recovery. After that I flashed Stock NPN25.137-92. It bootloop-ed.

So, I flashed TWRP and flashed Deodexed Stock, IMEI and baseband all working. after that I flashed Pixel Experience 8.1 and now I have a fully functional phone again!!

thanks for the useful guide and links here in the thread ;D

Cedric

You can make the blank flash for moto G5 Cedric?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Generally, only Motorola can make the blankflashes for our devices - as I understand it, they need to be cryptographically signed for our devices. Also, they are CPU specific, so if a blankflash for Montana (Moto G5S) came out, you could use that. For the G5 Plus, the Moto Z2 Play albus blankflash has been used to get around a hard brick (as the Snapdragon 626 is very similar to the 625).

However, many if not all the blankflashes we have are as a result of leaks or from generous Motorola engineers. We technically are not supposed to have them, and asking Motorola may get no response. The blankflash would have to be as new or newer than your existing bootloader to work; older blankflashes may fail as a security measure (else you'd be able to downgrade your bootloader, potentially compromising the integrity of the bootloader). This is likely why the potter blankflash doesn't work, unless there's a leak of a newer potter blankflash (maybe with the Oreo fastboot build, whenever that is?)

I hope that you find a blankflash for the G5 (Snapdragon 430), else the only other option is a service repair/motherboard replacement.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] imranakhter232:
Can someone pls help me with this issue. No network even when I install another rom. Your help will be deeply appreciated
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] DeepeshC:
Step by step:

1. Flash TWRP.

2. Flash Pixel Experience rom if we haven't flashed yet.

3. Turn on phone with flashed rom to obtain network signal

4. Here we will get the IMEI and only have 3g signal, so we need to restart the phone in bootloader mode and type in fastboot "fastboot erase modemst1" and "fastboot erase modemst2", these two command will give us IMEI and 4g signal.*

5. Turn on Pixel Experience again to obtain 4g(verify it pls), shutdown and enter bootloader mode.

6. In this point -and the most important to obtain IMEI and signal again- we must flash our phone with desired a right stock rom, execute fastboot command(if your want yo relock bootloader or not use the right posted above), just don't write "fastboot erase modemst1" and "fastboot erase modemst2"(in the scripts above are erased if you want to execute all in one time), because if we don't erase those two commands we will not obtain IMEI and signal.

7. We wait until finishes and write "fastboot reboot" and wait to turn on.

Hi [MENTION=8636194]DeepeshC[/MENTION],

Thanks for the response. I really appreciate it. I was thinking nobody will ever reply me. This is the first time I am using xda forum.

For the issue, I have followed your steps but at step 3 I am not even getting 3g signal. I have vodafone sim. I am getting same "Error while searching for network". I will let you know what steps I followed from start.

1. So after bricking I flashed albus blank flash file and then flashed boot.img, gpt.bin and bootloader.img provided in the post..

2. Then I installed deoxed Rom, and again I flashed boot.img, gpt.bin and bootloader.img.

3.So I booted into the rom and found that I am not able to get network.

4. After seeing your post, i downloaded this rom "https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3704064" and installed but the issue remained. At step 3 I was not getting 3G signal. I am getting IMEI but there is no 3g signal. I changed mode from 4G to 3G and tried searching for signal but was getting same issue. So I followed 4th step and ran these two command "fastboot erase modemst1" and "fastboot erase modemst2" but with lo luck.

Please brother help me!! I am lost :(

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Rakesh1b:
answer these questions first?

1.how did you hardbrick your potter?

2.were you updated to latest stock through ota before hardbrick?

3.how did you recover your potter imean what blankflash and gpt.bin,bootloader.img,recovery.img did you use ? the files we all have used or tried from this thread or any different files?

4.type" fastboot getvar all" in fastboot mode and provide details masking your serial and imei.

5.finally creating blankflash or gpt.bin,bootloader files is impossible,there are some signed images we cant tamper them if we they will not flash.

read this whole thread you will know what im talking about https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/help/hard-bricked-fastboot-t3638497
