Depends on whether you can get bootloader.img to actually flash. Those are all older firmwares. Normally you get preflash validation failure on bootloader and partition table if you try to go backwards on this phone. In a normal situation, everything else flashes successfully and the phone still works fine. For this case, you need bootloader to get reflashed to fix the hard brick (maybe gpt.bin too but definitely bootloader). I'm not certain exactly how it will behave in this state, but I suspect trying an older bootloader will still fail if you try and downgrade. Someone did report success with an XT1575 a few pages back by flashing the LATAM package linked to the OP then downgrading to the XT1575 6.0 modem.

Hi guys, I'm trying to help [MENTION=6086386]SpiralX15[/MENTION] to unbrick his hard bricked Moto e2 3g(otus) using the above method. I used the code by [MENTION=4360659]dollarbr[/MENTION] to generate the loader.img file. I just had one doubt. Does this need to be generated from the stock ROM only or any ROM is fine?

Thank you!

Thanks for this guys, this helped me bring my EU 1572 back from the dead.

I used the RETLA ROM linked in the first post, then went back and installed the last full ROM RETEU 6.0.1 without flashing the bootloader or gpt.bin, then updated by applying updates through stock recovery until I was at NPHS25.200-15-3

I had some scary moments where the IMEI seemed to have been wiped and it took several failed attempts having to start from scratch a few times, but once I did get back to the latest version, and bootloader, modem firmware and ROM version etc.. all matched up, my IMEI was back and everything is working perfectly.

In case anyone needs them, these are the links to the exact files I used:

You must reboot after applying each update so as to complete the update process. Also, if you get any errors regarding verification issues during the update process, ensure that your downloads are not corrupted and that your USB transfer cable is not causing problems.

I'm definitely having trouble. I formatted my card FAT32, flashed the loader.img onto it and it seems create like 30-40 mini partitions on it. As soon as the program finishes, I get Windows popup messages that I need to format the card. I choose cancel and eject the card. After I put the card in my XT1575, I tried a few of the diff methods of booting up. I connected the cable and held power and volume down and nothing happened.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t895:
You should be holding volume down and then plug it in (make sure it's going into a computer). Also, you flashed your SD card correctly, 40+ partitions is what you want to see.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzidexx:
It should be more then 40 partitions. So it is ok.

Vol- & power or normal power on to boot BL from sdcard.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwangster12:
I downloaded the loader right in the main thread. At first I formatted NFTS but realized after it needed to be FAT32 and still didn't work. Is there a format program that works better? I used mini partition tool. I'm using a card from my other phone,

so I backed everything up on it and then formatted it.

I may have been on 6.0 when I bricked. I had downgraded to take the OTA again and can't totally remember if I was on 7.0. Would that make a difference with which loader I use.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzidexx:
If you ever had Nougat you have Bootloader N.

Format to fat32 - with windows fast format can be.

For loader.img it must be DiskImageRev2.

If you want try - Somewhere here I linked my loader.img(6.0.1, xt1572, EU). [MENTION=3436633]Bwangster12[/MENTION]
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwangster12:
I definitely did have Nougat at one point. I had downgraded, gone to stock 7.0... had issues, and needed to return to stock and think I got 6.0 on there and that's when I bricked it.

So I should backup my current card, format the card using built in Windows format as fat32, then flash the loader in the OP, put into phone, hold down volume down and plug into PC?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzidexx:
If you flashed loader.img and sdcard is in gpt you should use mini tool p.w. if not - normal windows gormat.

Connect to pc if BL will boot or try any possible method. [MENTION=3436633]Bwangster12[/MENTION]

I went from a 7.0 rom to the RETLA 7.0 back to stock 1575 6. and then tried to upgrade to 7.0 when it bricked. The loader img in the first post worked for me.

The phone should have the led under the speaker light up when you insert the memory card into the phone. If the phone will not power up it's because the battery is likely under 50%. Throw the card in and plug it into a charger until it finally displays the battery charging screen. Let it fully charge and then you can boot into recovery. I've also had to pull the back and disconnect the battery for a few hours. But so far I've resurrected 5 hard bricked phones.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwangster12:
I'm actually giving this a try now. I formatted as FAT32 with windows and rewrote the Loader to the card. When I put the card into my phone and plug into PC, nothing happens and no light. Can't seem to get it to boot at all. Tried holding volume down and plugging in, tried holding volume down and power as it's plugged in, nothing. Now I put the card in the phone and plugged into my Moto QC charger that came with it... hopefully it just needs battery.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuildUpNow:
No real need to format the card as writing the image will set the proper format.

You can connect the charger then insert the card and let it sit for a few hours if not overnight and hope the battery charges. You may have to reinsert the mem card again but it should do something. If it doesn't then you may need to disconnect the battery for a few hours. From my experience if the battery is under 40% it will not boot into recovery mode. It's possible a new battery might be required but I've brought phones that had been bricked for months back to life. Charging it was typically all that was required. Only two phones required me disconnecting the battery but both those had over a 70% charge. Hopefully one of these methods will work for you guys.

If I was to remove the back to disconnect the battery....would I be able to get the back adhesive back on? In the videos I've seen the back piece is like a big sticker. To get it off they show heating it with a blow dryer to get the back off. And it's just disconnect those 2 connectors right? I'm obviously not pulling the tabs to take the battery out... assuming I don't have to replace it. I think if I need a new battery, I'd rather just invest $30ish bucks into a new phone.

To anyone who is trying to unbrick their device, before you go bothering everyone to fix your device, please check to see if plugging it into a computer has any sort of response. This includes Windows saying the device is not recognized/not working and Linux not displaying anything except when you check "lsusb" in terminal and see something similar to the name of this thread. If you do not get either of these, then you're probably out of luck. I have no other idea as to how you'd be able to recover your device (other than sending it over to Moto).

Just curious, does it matter if the loader.img is made using 6.0 instead of 7.0. Wouldn't that in reality get you back to Marshmallow. Cause the loader.img was created for nougat.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwangster12:
So I can't seem to get my Moto X Pure working... It def says Qualcomm etc etc when I connect to a PC, but it won't boot on at all. I've tried using the loader in the OP, and even the 6.0 one posted elsewhere. I've tried holding power, holding power and volume down, and volume down as I plug into PC. All that happens is my PC says a message how it was unable to install drivers or something, and eventually ends up as Qualcomm etc etc.

I did try taking off the back and disconnecting the battery cables in both spots, left for a day or so. I've also tried leaving on charger for awhile. No led light comes on or anything. The battery was fine before it bricked... did the brick cause the battery to fry or something?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t895:
It shouldn't fry the battery and I don't think unplugging the battery internally is going to make a difference. Did you format the SD Card correctly?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwangster12:
I thought I did, but could very well have done it wrong.

Initially I tried using the Minipartition tool... formatted as Fat32, chose GPT and then flashed with Rufus or the program in the OP. On my last few tries, I've used mini partition tool to delete all the partitions, then used Windows to format it quick as Fat32... then flashed with Rufus. It is definitely creating the 40ish partitions on the card.

Hello everyone, this is my first post I'm Brazilian and I'm using a translator so I apologize for any errors in the grammar.

I'll explain in detail what happened to my XT1572 so maybe you can help me figure out the solution to my problem.

I was with the 7.0 android stock on my XT1572 (it is unlocked) I wanted to install LineageOS 14.1 so I realized that the only way to use LineageOS 14.1 on my device would be to downgrade to android 6.0 stock to later install LineageOS 14.1, I downgraded through fastboot and then with android stock 6.0 I installed TWRP normally and then I did all the wipes procedures and then I installed the LineageOS 14.1 rom and then the Gapps for android 7.1, the installation occurred without problems but my device never went past the LineageOS boot screen and entered an infinite loop.

I then gave up installing LineageOS and reinstalled back to rom stock android 6.0 using fastboot, everything happened normally and then with android 6.0 stock installed I received a 40mb OTA security update, so the installation finished the smartphone restarted and then it went into hardbrick.

The smartphone now has the same symptoms that are in this post, it does not enter bootloader, nothing appears when I connect the charger turbocharger and when I connect the smartphone to the PC via USB appears on the PC identified as "Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008".

I read all the pages of this post and I did exactly the procedure described here with the files that are available in this post.

I made the recording of loader.img on an original 16GB class 10 card using DiskImageRev2, the recording happened successfully, now the SD card has 22 partitions, I left the smartphone connected to the charger all day for not having battery problems at the time of starting the bootloader, then I put the SD card in the smartphone and connected it to the computer through the USB port and then tried to enter in bootloader mode but it does not enter at all and it continues in the same way in hard brick.

I read all posts calmly and realized something: When I suffered the Hardbrick was in the stock android 6.0 and was only receiving a security OTA, so was said in the post that loader.img is nougat version 7.0, in my if it would not be necessary to loader.img the version 6.0 that was what my smartphone was when it suffered the hardbrick?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzidexx:
You should use N loader.img - you have N bootloader and partition table and cannot downgrade it.

If phone will boot you should flash stock N and after it optionally downgrade to MM(without BL & gpt, no ota in future).

For flashing any custom N you need only MM modems/baseband.

Sorry for my ignorance but do you mean that even though I downgraded from stock 7.0 to stock 6.0 through fastboot and I was then using stock 6.0 then both bootloader and partition tables were still stock 7.0?

And so the loader.img I need is the 7.0?

If so, I no longer see what I can do because even with loader.img 7.0 on the SD card the smartphone does not start the bootloader.

The most curious is that by what I am reading practically everyone who was with the XT1572 in this situation were able to start the bootloader after inserting the micro sd card with the recorded loader.img but mine does not start at all and when I connect to the PC using USB it is still identified as "Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008"
