[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] zjcook23:
Hey all,

Okay. I have (apparently) the 1789-04 version of the Z2 Force. However, the phone insists, for the most part, internally, that it is an AT&T phone, not the TMO variant, which would be the variant indicated by the model number. This has lately become an issue due to the fact that the other day I was in camera mode on the phone, and POOF it bricked all over me, and I've tried to flash all kinds of stock firmware onto the phone. ATT firmwares flash successfully across the board, but just end up doing a bootloader boot loop, sometimes asking me to factory data reset the phone. TMO stock firmware fails at the point where the boot image flashes with the error "Preflash validation error". I've tried all kinds of firwmares, the most recent, slightly older ones.

The device shows in the bootloader as OEM locked, but when I flash the TMO bootloader, it starts off with the bootloader unlocked warning. Total bonkers. When the ATT is flashed, it never boots, so no point. I only get as far as the Motorola screen. I cannot get the phone to go to blankflash, as the command fastboot oem blankflash (no quotes) produces an error that says something along the the lines of that not being authorized. I would LOVE for my phone to be forced into a spot where I could use blankflash and go from there. Anyway, here's the getvar, if you guys have any suggestions, that would be great.
