Urgent HELP!!! Bricked MOTO G 2014 TITAN ( Issue RESOLVED !)

Thanks a lot avrockz11 for your help!!!

Hello friends!:)

My Cell was Soft Bricked and I have repaired it! :cool::highfive:

I have made below Overview for those who could face such kind of Issues can follow below steps :

ISSUE:

Refer the above thread for my Issue.

If someone encounters such Issues please refer below steps to resolve it

What is A Brick?

A soft brick, is usually just when you're phone is stuck in a bootloop, and as the name implies, is caused by a software error, usually the lack of a system to boot from or some other minor software bug that glitching boot. They are easily fixable by reflashing your ROM in recovery.

A Brick Usually Occurs when you Flash a Wrong Firmware on your device or you try to downgrade your bootloader.

1.	If your device gets stuck in following situations it has Soft bricked.

- Stuck on Motorola logo or "Unlocked Bootloader" screen.

- Stuck on boot animation or device restarts automatically (boot loop)

- Cannot boot into recovery mode.

- Can boot into fastboot mode only.

2.	If your device gets stuck in following situations it has Hard bricked.

- Cannot boot into fastboot mode.

- Cannot power on or cannot charge.

- Cannot boot into recovery mode.

In my case the mobile was booting in fast bootmode plus it was not charging so I was confused whether it was soft Bricked or Hard Bricked later it was figured out. When I was pressing the Volume up key while selecting “Normal Power up ” nothing was happening i.e. it was not entering into TWRP mode. I was just able to see Power up mode showing Battery 0% (i.e bootup screen) for hardly 1 second after that it was reverting back to “boot load selection menu” throwing the below Error.(As Previously I had flashed lower TWRP image in it)

Error Msg :-

Invalid Boot Image Size!

failed to validate recovery image

boot up failed

Due to which I was neither able to enter in TWRP mode nor able to Flash new custom ROM’s. So to Resolve this Issue I tried some trick / Experiment i.e. by pressing the Volume up key for 10 second while selecting “Normal Power up ” while its connected to charger it got hanged to that screen showing 0 % battery I left it in that state for 4..5 hrs in hope it would get charged ..but after 5 hours it was still showing 0 % charge only. So I again restarted it into “boot load selection menu Holding “Volume Down + power key and Bingo it worked out ” Now it was showing “battery in Good/OK state” notification before it was showing “Battery Low ” State ,So my Trick worked out and my mobile was in charged state as to follow further Flash process (Which Confirmed it was Soft Bricked and not Hard Bricked).

Now the second challenge I faced. that was………. my mobile was not detecting USB cable of my Laptop thus showing message

“Connect USB Data Cable”

TIP: Use proper USB Data cable for connecting mobile to PC.

Minimal ADB + Fastboot Drivers v1.4.2

Install Motorola Device Manager Drivers v2.5.4

TWRP v3.1.1-0 for titan

SuperSU v2.82 Stable

(Motorola Drivers helps in detecting / connecting mobile to PC for flashing any ROM’s)

And installing it helped me out as the device status changed to

“Transfer Mode: Device Connected”

So Now I was free to install the TWRP. But in that also I faced one Error which I resolved by using below steps:

Please find the Attachment at the bottom of Errors in CMD.exe

Install via ADB

Open the folder where your TWRP Recovery .img file is saved.

Then open a CMD window inside that folder. To do that, Shift + Right click on any empty white space inside the folder and

then select Open command window here.

Connect your Android device to the PC. Type the following into the command window to boot your device into

bootloader/fastboot mode:

adb reboot bootloader

If your asks for permission to “Allow USB debugging”, tap OK.

Once your device boots into bootloader mode, type this into the command line.

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.x.x-xxx.img

└ Here modify twrp.img with the name of your TWRP recovery .img file.

Once TWRP is successfully flashed on your device, type this final command to reboot your device.

fastboot reboot

Commands for Flashing TWRP in Mobile Via PC

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-titan.img

fastboot boot recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-titan.img

I connected my mobile to PC via USB data Cable and ran above commands in CMD.exe

The 1st command (fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-titan.img )flashed the TWRP properly (TWRP image should be of Latest

Verison )in my mobile (refer above pic)

But the 2nd command (fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-titan.img ) error out showing above Error (refer above pic). Don’t

worry your work is done in step 1 st only.

Just exit from CMD.exe and in your mobile scroll down by volume down and select “Recovery tab” and you are done. It starts

into boot loader mode and enters into your flashed TWRP mode…Done . Now you Can Install any Custom ROM’s of your

choice

and your mobile is ready to be used.!
