(Solved) Moto G5 Plus - Oreo hard brick - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

After doing a twrp backup of my phone because i wanted to sell it and recover my stuff, and it suddenly stopped working after trying powering on.
The PC recognized it as qusb_bulk, i downloaded the drivers for it. Now it shows as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, but i tried the blankflash for the g5plus (presumably nougat) and one for the z2play and both of them failed. Here's the log.

And another question i have is, can i make a blankflash file for the g5plus?, i have another one working (in terrible condition) but it works and it has oreo.
Thanks in advance.
Update: just as @[email protected] says it took a long time before it finally flash, almost 2 hours, and got the bootloader, i flashed the last oreo firmware. The phone works fine now and i still have imei and 4G.
Thanks y'all for helping me.

You can't make a blank flash file as it required Motorola digital signature, so if you are able to create one it won't work. But as you are having a other Moto g5+ then I think you can recover your device by using mmcblk0 method as it is the only way I know.
Here is the procedure of making mmcblk0
Below are the steps I followed to create a mmcblk0.img from a working device.
What is needed? -
a) A Working device of same model XT168x where 'x' could be 2,3,4,5,etc depending on region.
b) It should be a rooted one.
c) A working linux system. Any variant would do.
Steps to follow in working device:
1) Reboot device to TWRP recovery.
2) Take a backup of system,data and boot partitions. While taking backup, select the storage as Micro SDCard.
3) Once backup is complete, do a factory reset. This step is required as you don't want your friends personal files and settings.
3a) Power off the device.
4) Remove the SIM and existing SDCard.
5) Insert a new 32GB SDCard Class 10 UHS-1 into the device. This should be formatted as FAT32 or exFAT.
6) Boot the device.
7) Once booted, connect the device to computer using USB.
8) Open a terminal in your linux.
9) adb devices (This step assumes that adb and fastboot are in linux system path)
10) adb shell
11) su -
12) You are in root shell now.
13) cat /proc/partitions.
13a) Above step would list out all partitions.
14) Note the size of mmcblk0 partition.
15) Now run 'dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/<STORAGE-ID>/mmcblk0.img bs=1000000000 count=30' without quotes. 'bs' stands for block size. Here in the above command I am giving a block size of 1GB. In my case mmcblk0 partition size was nearly 30GB. So the above command worked for me. If you are experiencing problem, then play with the numbers. For example you could try decreasing the 'bs' value and increase the 'count' value. Ultimately 'bs' multiplied by count should be the partition size. If everything goes fine, you will have a mmcblk0.img in your sdcard. One more point to note. <STORAGE-ID> in the command is the place holder. The actual ID would be a hexadecimal value. You can get your storage id by doing a 'ls /storage' in root shell. In my case the SDCard was referred as 7368-9BEE.
16)Above step would take some time as it has to create a image of 30G size. Once complete, copy the image from SDcard to your computer.
17) Power off the device and remove the SDcard from device.
18) Insert your friend's SIM card and SDCard.
19) Boot to TWRP recovery.
20) Restore the backup you took in step 2 above.
After making mmcblk0 file put that sd card in the bricked device and boot into bootloader. Once you boot in bootloader Remove the sd card and flash stock ROM.

Are there any complications from using another phone's mmcblk0? I've read about this method in a few more threads here (maybe).

My bricked xt1687 that showed qusb_bulk, then Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 wouldn't boot into bootloader, or anything else, hence the need for blankflash. OP's errors are normal, when the timing for getting the flash to connect are not exact. He needs to keep trying and eventually he'll get it to write. I purposely bricked one to get rid of the Z play bootloader, and it took 45 minutes of trying before it finally wrote.

There should be no complications as I think so. As we are just using this to get bootloader. But there could be chances of losing IMEI on bricked device, nothing more than that.

I don't think the blank flash file is going to work now as we are now on Oreo on with latest firmware. So we need the latest blank flash file with latest bootloader in it.and I don't think we are having the latest bootloader in blank flash file. So I don't think so it will work.but giving a trying is not a problem.

I'm not sure that blankflash will not work, as I have a potter device on the addison bootloader that I was able to go from stock nougat to stock oreo via ADB. It still gives bootloader error when trying to write but is fully functional non-the-less.

Now it won't work as at the time of nougat the blank flash file contain Oreo bootloader, so it was able to recover, but now we are now on Oreo, so it won't work.

This just is not true. I just took my "test" phone which has twice been bricked before. It has stock oreo on it, and I hard bricked it to just flashing light and is recognized by pc as qusb_bulk. This phone has never been able to be recovered with potter blankflash, but does recover and rewrite bootloader with addison blankflash. I was able to use addison, then write the addison 2 potter files, and write back stock oreo rom. Whole process took about an hour this morning.

Is that device is having latest firmware 13-3 or it is having a old firmware???

It had the latest debloated rom on it, potter-OPS28.85-17-2-debloated.
I don't think the new stock oreo is dependant on a new bootloader, as I posted before, this device would always show errors trying to write new bootloader from stock adb rom, yet installed, and functioned perfectly. And also, blankflash loads into the processor at the beginning of the bootloader sequence, which is how we get the device out of it's "dead" state.

I think the bootloader is same for Moto g5+ and Moto z play that why the blank flash file is working or else it didn't work at all, but we should kept a backup method also so we can able to recover it, if blank flash file don't work.

Can you please provide the link for Blank Flash file that worked for you.

Hello, moto g5 plus is left alone with the led flashing and does not enter anything, does not start. To try to recover it with the BlankFlash tool, is it mandatory to have the bootloader unlocked? please i need your help to try to get it back. thanks

[Solved] Unbrick (Hard Bricked/Dead) Motorola G 4 plus or any Qualcomm mobile Device

I have successfully recovered my dead/hard brick moto g4 plus mobile using below process.
To give you background, I have hard bricked my new moto g4 plus mobile. To do that, I have unlocked boot loader which void my warranty, then I have rooted yet and got root access. Till that it was working. After that I have installed custom rom cyanogenmod 14.1 . It was still working for some days. Now As I came from blackberry z10 to moto, I was missing blackberry hub features, so I downloaded BlackBerry android OS(Blackberry Priv) and tried to flash it. that's it, it stopped working. I know it was stupid things to do . I have given mobile to service center, other few famous mobile repairing shops, but no one was able to do anything.
My mobile was dead for almost 1 month, I tried lots of option, including MI flash tool, QPST(QFIL) etc. but didn't get it thought it. For current options also I was working for couple days, after that I got the solution.
Let start work now.....
------------------------------------------------------
There are two parts for this tutorial,
Part1 - make your device bootable/softbrick/start in recovery mode. This is difficult part and most of us stuck here only. We need to make device from hard brick to soft brick. Should work for all Qualcomm devices(except hardware failure).
Part2 - Flash ROM to your device. This is easy part and there are lots tutorial/information available to flashing ROM into device. It will be dependent on individual devices.
Part1:- -
Make your PC into Test Mode.
Then run “CMD” or “Windows Terminal” as administrator and type:
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
Download QualcommDrv.zip from here , extract to an empty folder, then open the folder according to your Windows type (x64 or x86) and double click dpinst64.exe (if you have 64-bit Windows) to install the Qualcomm driver
now please connect your Qualcomm Mobile to PC or laptop Your phone should now being detected as “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008” and the driver version 2.0.8.7 (please check it through Windows’ “Device Manager”). If its not detected, then you can keep mobile connecting to computer and press power button and volume down button.( This is for motorola g4 plus and can be different for your mobile. )
Now you have your mobile connected to computer, now follow the below steps.
Please download zip " blankflash1.zip" from location here extract it your computer and goto extracted folder and click blank-flash.bat
It will start in command prompt and detect device on your computer port(eg. COM5, COM8 etc).
If process completed successful then your mobile will restart into bootloader screen and your hard brick problem has been resolved. after that you can reboot into recovery by pressing power and volume down button again if required. Once you are in recovery mode then you can flash correct stock ROM into your mobile. Refer below Part2 for this.
If above didn't work and you are getting error like below..
Code:
C:\Users\Vijay\Desktop\blankflashathene\blankflash>.\qboot.exe blank-flash
Motorola qboot utility version 3.40
[ -0.000] Opening device: \\.\COM5
[ -0.000] Detecting device

[ 4.072] Total time: 4.072s
FAILED: qb_flash_singleimage()->sahara_greet_device()->change_mode()->do_hello()
->IO error
Or any other error, then its little tricky to solve this.
Follow the below steps.
1. Keep your mobile connected using USB, obviously.
2. using one hand keep power button and volume down button pressed at same time and using other hand click blank-flash.bat file.
3. It might be possible that blank-flash.bat scritps get finished earlier, in that case, keep clicking .bat file continuously, you don't need to close previous cmd window. For me it took 5-6 run to get script detect/communicate with device. Here idea is that your mobile should get detected when you press power button+volume button while blank-flash.bat file is still executing.
4. keep trying step 3 unless you dont see below logs.
Code:
C:\Users\Vijay\Desktop\blankflashathene\blankflash>.\qboot.exe blank-flash

[ 7.236] Flashing sbl1 with sbl1.mbn
[ 7.392] Rebooting to fastboot
[ 7.392] Total time: 7.392s
5. once this is complete then you mobile will boot in bootloader/recovery mode, or you can go to recovery mode using volume up/down button.
After this, your mobile would be detected using adb(android driver), and you can execute fastboot commands.
Note: blankflash1.zip file is working for motorola moto g 4 plus, it should work for other mobiles also. If that doesn't work with your mobile then try with blankflash2.zip and blankflash3.zip files. download here
blankflash1.zip -- is for latest mobile above android lollipop,
blankflash2.zip -- for android lollipop.
blankflash3.zip -- for Kitkat devices.
please try with 1,2 and 3 in order.
Step3 is the key for whole process. you may need to try multiple times while blank-flash.bat is running.
Once you reached here, Congratulations, your mobile is saved and back to life. next part flashing stock rom is very easy. I will try to find url for that.
you just need correct ROM for your mobile and steps to flash it.
Part 2 :
Below is url for motorola, you will get idea how to do it for your mobile by going through it.
Alternative, now you can give your mobile to service center or mobile repair shop to flash ROM.

3. It might be possible that blank-flash.bat scritps get finished earlier, in that case, keep clicking .bat file continuously, you don't need to close previous cmd window. For me it took 5-6 run to get script detect/communicate with device. Here idea is that your mobile should get detected when you press power button+volume button while blank-flash.bat file is still executing.
4. keep trying step 3 unless you dont see below logs.
Code:

Ok. Sorry, Actually I tried many days and many ways. I dont remember each and every things but these are the steps which helped me to get things done. there might be few difference due to different mobile you have. I will check my system and will check if I get some more details/scripts etc.
Don't give up.

OP says any Qualcomm device can be unbricked with this blankflash which is not true. This is only for G4/G4+. If you want to unbrick G4 Play you need that specific blankflash file, otherwise it will remain as a cute paperweight, duh
Will anyone from xda be able to create a blank image for this moto g4 play

Moto g4 plus hard bricked xt1643

I had unlocked my bootloader and was trying to lock it by flashing NPJ25.93-14 after the NPJ25.93-14-8 update it didn't lock my bootloader and it booted up but with bootloader unlocked warning.After keeping it for OTA update i noticed my phone is not
turning on but led light flashes after every one second .It is not evening going to fastboot mode after flashing blankflash.bat file .
At a service center they said they would replace the board for Rs 6000. I am running low on budget please help me!
I had repaired my Moto g using ur tutorial which was in the same state so i think u can help me.:crying::crying::crying:
these are the errors i get while running blankflash.bat

Damn, your brick was avoidable even, since flashing the NPJS25.93-14-8 fastboot firmware would likely have locked your device and kept it going.
Unfortunately, we'll have to see if Motorola even makes a new blankflash for our devices, a slight chance may be if Android O comes out for our device, if they still make our device by then...
I tried locking with np25.93-14-8 but was unsuccessful

Yeah, unfortunately by downgrading from the June update it's a hard brick - and the blankflash we have, as you've mentioned, doesn't recover devices
Only resolutions at the moment is to save up to get the motherboard replaced or save up for a new device (whatever that might be)
there is nothing like newer blankflash. our devices are bricked now and they will bricked forever. get the motherboard replaced or save up for a new device
I can't afford to replace the motherboard now . waiting for blankflash or doing repair whenever i can afford:crying:

Which blankflash did you try, have you tried this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79013024&postcount=523 ?
Looks like the blankflash has trouble communicating, maybe try a few more times?
What firmware were you previously on, was it the stock Oreo firmware?
android 7.0
I already did everything and I can not resuscitate the cell phone.

Which blankflashes have you tried? Try using a computer with a USB 2.0 port and try some of the tips in https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73434849&postcount=2 and https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/solved-unbrick-hard-bricked-dead-t3585016
Okay, were you always on Android 7? Or did you downgrade your device from a later stock firmware? Also, which December update did you get, was it the NPJ25.93-14 December 2016 update or the NPJS25.93-14-13 December 2027 update?
it was in 8.1 but it was bugged the sound was getting down by itself and lost important connections by calsa of that I went back to android 7.0 appeared an update botei to install after that the phone does not call anymore only it stays flashing the led in the loaded or when it connects to the pc

Having been on stock 8.1 previously, that's the main problem - downgrading and flashing your device with an old OTA has corrupted your bootloader (your bootloader likely did not get downgraded for security reasons). Currently we do not have a working method to resolve this - there have been methods tested/currently being tested, which have not borne any good results.
If you cannot wait, you will likely have to pay for a repair or purchase a new device, there's no other method available to save your device right now. This is partly why we advise not downgrading stock firmware unless you do not use OTA updates (and even then, be careful).
when it arrives in that part it type that restarts it makes noise of connected and disconnected and stays long in that part then then it carries until the error

You could keep trying, see if your device connects with the blankflash (though the same error keeps appearing with members that have tried it - no firehose connection, so the blankflash is unable to flash a working bootloader to your device. Sometimes a bad connection, sometimes the blankflash is too old to repair your device). Else, you'd have to wait for a blankflash created after 11/01/2019, which is not very likely and would have to be leaked from Motorola.

Moto G5 Plus won't boot.. flashing light when plugged in... stock rom

my wife plugged in her G5 plus into to plug last night and when she woke up it was turned off and doesn't respond to anything.. I tried using the volum - & power button to get it to recovery mode but it doesn't work. When I plug it in the white notification light blinks.. nothing has been tampered with (no custom flash or anything)
I browsed the forum and found some info at https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/solved-unbrick-hard-bricked-dead-t3585016 but didn't get it to work since it was for a G4 plus:
- set pc to test mode
- installed Qualcomm drivers
- when phone is plugged into usb on PC I get a Qualcomm Device in COM3
- I tried using a blankflash batch file using Qboot 3.4 I found on other threads on the site but didn't work.. thread mentions a 3.85 for Oreo but can not find it

There is no blankflash file for the Moto G5+ , such a file has to be leaked by some Motorola employee but that didn't happen. There is one for the Moto Z2 play but that one was for Nougat and won't work on Oreo, it was risky on 7.0 too. You can search it here on XDA or Google if you want to give it a shot nevertheless but if you can't reach fastboot mode to flash a firmware you're most likely out of luck.

Moto G4 blackscreen and blinking LED light

So a while ago i got myself a new phone and the Moto went into "storage", the thing was on and working when i put it on the shelf, in a few days time the battery went dead because i didnt charge so naturally it shut itself off, 7 months later (today), i plugged it in and the thing wont power on, id only get the LED blinking thing and thats all the life i see from it.
What have i tried?
Entering bootloader (that didnt work) and im still on a black screen (turned off not just blank) with LED flashing, i installed the whole load of drivers: Qualcomm drivers, ADB fastboot, moto drivers from their site all the fun stuff. Then i found a thread on here suggesting the blank-flash thing (finally a glimpse of hope), i got it downloaded, started the bat file, crossed my fingers and as i expected..absolutely nothing happened or rather ERROR happened.... "ERROR: sahara_greet_device()->change_mode()->do_hello()->IO error". Riiiiight....google it you might say and google it i did (and since i got to the point where i had to search on Bing its clear that nothing i found worked)
So why am i here, why do i care about a phone i dont use anymore (quite simple i wanna have a backup JIC Xiaomi decides to nope on me anytime soon)
And since i have been spending all the time from 8 am to now on this matter, here i am
I tried a different pc (with even a diff version of windows 10 installed on it)
I tried the thing with the windows testing mode on and off
I tried the motorola suggested recovery tool which basically did nothing but remind me my phone is long gone
I tried Ubuntu (to be fair i barely knew what the hell i was doing there but i still gave ADB and fastboot a try just so i can say i did as much as i can)
Here i am, clueless, i googled as much i could, youtubed it to moon and back, and i finally thrown in the towel and decided to ask for help here.
i dont expect to even get an answer but if you got any idea just send it
Moto G4 XT1622 (last time i used it i think it was on RessurectionRemix or LineageOS one of the newer versions however i cant remember if it were 8 or 9 though)

That means it's in EDL mode only a blankflash or mmcblk0.img will work.
