Moto G5 Plus "bricked" after update. - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello! I don't know if there might a be a solution for this problem, we've tried many stuff that's been posted here on the forums but ended up in the same results, so no luck. My friend's Moto G5 Plus "bricked" itself while updating to Oreo some time ago, wasn't rooted or anything, bootloader wasn't unlocked either. We can access the recovery menu with "power + vol+", but any option we try to use ends up with the message "Failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot". Some of the solutions I've tried require the bootloader to be unlocked, but I haven't been able to unlock it since my friend never checked the "Allow OEM unlock" option. He took the phone to the official service but they said they couldn't do anything and wanted to sell him a new phone. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Would be helpful to know what exactly you've done to rescue that device.
For example, did you try to wipe the complete device and fastboot flash the latest signed Oreo firmware?
Is the device recognised by a PC?
What about using Lenovo Motorola Smart Assistant?

Hey! From what he told me, at first he was able to access the recovery menu, when then little Android with the red mark shows up, then he used the Smart Assistant and after that he gets the validation error message that I mentioned. I suppose the Smart Assistant made things worse? The device was initially recognised by the PC, but now it isn't. We tried to flash the stock firmware and unlock the bootloader but we didn't have any luck either. Since the PC didn't recognized it anymore we tried a few things to make it work but ended up giving up.

So you can't get to the screen with the dead android (fastboot mode) or recovery with the key combination (power and vol down/power and vol up)? You should be able to get there and check the connection by typing
fastboot devices
or
adb devices
Is the battery full enough to start?
Do you see the device in Windows devices manager?

PC should recognise it at very worst, as qhsusb_bulk. Your PC must be in test mode, and then when you connect look in device manager, under usb devices, and a hard bricked phone will show as qhsusb_bulk. Anything else, you should be able to communicate with ADB/fastboot, as Wolfcity stated. If it does show as qhsusb_bulk, you will need to use vaches' blankflash to recover the unit.

I tried to attach a couple of screenshots but I get the "bad request" message here. Anyways, when we do a normal boot we get the validation error message and we are sent directly to fastboot menu, but there we cannot choose any options because all of them lead to the error message again.
It's been a couple of weeks now but the last time we tried doing something, the device wasn't showing up in device administrator nor being recognized by adb.
As regards to the battery, we've left it charge up for some hours, so I guess that's not a problem, although we cannot see the percentage.

I'll tell him to check if it shows up as qhsusb_bulk and update here. Could you explain a bit more or link to a thread about vache's blankflash? What is it exactly?

This thread is long, but alot of good info on hard bricked Moto G5 plus devices.
Code:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/help/moto-g5-plus-hard-bricked-recognized-t3636457
To get PC in test mode
Code:
Here is how to turn on or off the Test Mode feature in Windows 10.
IMPORTANT: Please remember that turning off the Test Mode feature may force the program/driver which is not digitally signed stop working.
Step 1: Open Command Prompt as administrator. To do so, type CMD in Start menu search to see Command Prompt in the search result. Right-click on Command Prompt entry and then click Run as administrator option. Click Yes button when you see the User Account Control screen.
Step 2: At the Command Prompt window, execute the following commands:
To enable the Test Mode:
Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
To disable the Test Mode:
Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
If the above command didn’t work, this one must work:
Bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
You may exit the Command Prompt now.

Update: The PC detects the phone as Android Device > Mot Composite ADB Interface.
But once in adb, adb devices isn't working. It doesn't recognize the device.

It is recognizing the device, " Mot Composite ADB Interface" is correct.How about
Code:
fastboot devices
? It should show the device #. ADB doesn't always show devices.

Yes! Fastboot devices shows the device! So now we have to procede with the flashblank.zip and all that from the other post right? Also sorry for the late reply, I've been pretty busy these past days so I left him with all the work.

[Q] Nexus 7 doesn't boot

Hello all! I'm having a problem with a Nexus 7.
This is my brother's tablet that he hasn't used in a few months. It hasn't been unlocked or rooted.
I can get to the boot screen with the android lying on it's back and the options with the volume buttons. The other info on that screen which might be pertinent:
Fastboot mode
Product name: grouper
variant - grouper
hw version - er3
bootloader version - n/a
serial number -
signing - not defined yet
lock stated - locked
When I go to recovery mode and push the power button, it says "booting failed" in the upper left. It still says Google in the middle, and has the options with the volume in the upper right, but the android is gone as is the text in the lower left.
I have adb and fastboot installed, but I can't seem to do much since the tablet is locked. I tried unlocking a few times, and it's always failed. Usually it doesn't give a reason, but one time I got this: "Failed (status read failed (Too many links))"
I've tried googling this and can't find someone with the same problem.
Anything I can try?
Thanks!

OK, I have that now, but I can't get very far. I think I need to enable debugging on the device first? How can I do that in that state it's in now?

If you can get into the Bootloader, just run the below via ADB
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Once you unlock the Bootloader you can use the "Soft Brick" Mode in the NRT to Re-flash back to stock and see if that will allow you to boot. You do not need debugging enabled to use the Nexus Root Toolkit if you use the Soft Brick mode, but you must have an unlocked bootloader.

What says "unlocking" (computer or tablet) and are you trying to do it through the Toolkit, or via command prompt ADB? I would first make sure your computer is seeing your tablet (ie. that the drivers and Fastboot are installed correctly). Do you know that they are?

I was trying this with the command prompt. I could get fastboot to list the device when using that command. And the tablet and command prompt both say "unlocking" when doing that. I would assume that means the computer is seeing the tablet and everything is set up correctly?
I think I tried to unlock with the Toolkit, but I believe it told me that device needs to be in debugging mode.
Hey there, I'm having a similar problem.
My info is the same except my bootloader version is 4.18 and my lock state says it's unlocked. I tried to use the root kit but I'm having trouble with the fastboot device being detected. Driver solutions attempted were the google ones, and the pdanet ones. I can't really do the manual thing since that involves the device being recognized when plugged in, and since I can't enable usb debugging... anyways the automated drivers windows says were installed successfully so I don't really know what else to do.
Note: I do know the usb port on the tablet and computer work since when plugged in, it will show that its charging with the white battery icon.
Same issue here
I was in the process of upgrading manually from android 5.0 to 5.0.2 owing to the serious lag that came with lollipop. The OTA was taking longer and testing my patience as most apps were crashing due to lag.
Therefore decided to go for manual flashing of the image. I have never done this before. I was able to make the computer see my device by disabling mtp via storage under setting in the device. This is one thin I noticed to make the device visible to the computer.
After installing the device drivers my nexus was visible within the device manager but it couldn't be seen as an external storage until I played with the MTP. I had even unlocked the boot loader before all this.
So everything was going well and while I started to think all is well, I ran into this issue. From adb I tried to run 'flash-all.bat' from the new device image. Something went wrong somewhere - don't know what it is, but from then on, I am stuck in the fastboot screen or into recovery mode but when i try to boot the device bu hitting the power button - I get this message 'Booting failed'.
I am also trying to use NRToolkit but no use. When I connect my device it is seen in the device manager in my pc but cannot see it as a storage. Therefore when I now try to run the 'adb devices' command it cannot see my device. From what I saw initially, until I enable/disable mtp mode adb was not able to see my device to communicate.
Now when I tried NRT and installed the drivers once again, it is being detected in the device manager but when I run the driver test within NRT - I get a ADB device not found error. Within NRT all that it says is go into device setting>storage to enable it which I know but at the current status of my device in boot screen/recovery mode how can I go in to enable this. This is not helpful.
Somebody please suggest a workaround for this issue. I know I am close to the solution but not sure how to enable the MTP or at least made the NRToolkit to say 'ADB device found'.
My fastboot screen shows these details:
Fastboot mode
Product name grouper
Variant = grouper
HW Version – ER3
Bootloader version – 4.23
Baseband version – N/A
Serial number – 015d21d910141c0a
Signing – not defined yet
Lock State - unlocked
Please help.

[Q] Permanent problem with Unlocking Bootloader Nexus S

Hi guys,
I searched forums, web with no positive results. So I start a new thread. Here is the situation: one day my Nexus S (Worldwide edition) froze on restarting with the Google Logo on the screen. Every time I try to turn the phone on it stacks at Google logo. When in the fastboot mode the status is Locked. Every time I try fastboot oem unlock I get Phone’s prompt with Yes or Not to unlock bootloader and after choosing Yes, the status doesn’t change to Unlock. Tried on Linux, Mac, Windows (drivers installed successfully), the same result. Tried to force Flash Stock + Unroot in Wugfresh, doesn’t work due to the Locked Bootloader.
typing "adb devices" in cmd (should return the device number) shows:
List of devices attached
......
Empty line above
Any word of advise how to force Unlocking the Bootloader would be greatly appreciated. Please help. Thank you!

It looks like your device is not recognized in Fastboot mode...
Have you turned on USB Debugging while connecting PC and Allow in Device when Prompt some message ..
Go to fastboot mode and write this command... fastboot devices
If it will give you a message like this

Pretty sure you have a bad USB cable, the error means the fastboot binaries are working on PC but can not connect to device, often this is due to a bad USB cable or port
Try a new cable, one you can verify works transferring data

Thanks, I tried 3 different cables on 3 different operating systems, with the same problem unlocking the fastboot. When I send fastboot oem unlock the device opens a prompt with Yes or No choice, but after choosing Yes, it stays Locked
Something indeed is strange...
So fastboot is for bootloader and adb is for within os and in recovery.
Try booting into recovery and see if adb works, also boot normal into your bootloop and see if adb works there too

Loading into basic recovery and trying to wipe data/factory reset - doesn't work. adb devices returns the following output:

Somehow, adb doesn't recognize the device, whereas fastboot devices shows it.
Is there a way to flash new bootmode with the currently locked bootloader?

UPDATE (resolved)
Here is an update. Hope this would help others with similar issue, as I've read many threads and folks complaining that they weren't able to unlock fastboot and further root their Nexus S, and who can't boot the phone, which stacked with Google Logo (soft loop). This was the case with my device and finally I got it resolved. I've read some guy tried to hit the phone and after that he was able to boot phone normally. It related to some hardware electrical circle issue. Anyways, I tried to hit my phone by placing it under the direct sun in balcony for some time until the phone got hot and then power it on. And ooops, my phone started booting passed by that Google Logo which was the good sign. Once the phone booted up, I went ahead and activated USB debugging and restarted the phone into the Fastboot mode. while the phone was still hot and in Fastboot mode I run "fastboot oem unlock" and hey, fastboot is Unlocked! Again, this was done while the phone was hot, any previous attempts (read above) weren't successful. From that point, I went ahead and rooted my Nexus S by Nexus Root Toolkit, available on wugfresh.com/nrt, without a slightest problem. Now my phone is fully rooted, bootable and working fine. I thank all who replied to my thread and tried to help and hope this info would help someone with the similar issue.

Phone boots normally but can't enter Fastboot, no recovery.

Hi guys, I'm having a weird problem with my zenfone 5 (a501cg). I have searched a lot but still can't find out a proper solution So I post it here and try to provide as much information as possible so hopefully developers at xda can help me.
My phone is rooted and I'm currently using modded rom called "bazzrom pinaslang" in the forum. Recently I want to use another rom so I decide to use adb sideload again.
However, the problem occurs: using adb sideload only show "error" message". BUT Adb devices show the phone.
Then I decide to use adb reboot fastboot to enter fastboot. But the phone only show a usb icon, and using "fastboot devices" doesn't show the device anymore.
I try other way by enter recovery mode "adb reboot recovery". The phone show resting android with "no command" message. I also try hold power and press down volumn after that but nothing happend. I try anything with that "power" + "volumn" combo but nothing happend (or it just shutdowns the phone).
Also, using "power" + "up volumn" to enter Droid boot doesn't work.
Driver is install. In device manager it shows "Android composite adb interface".
The only good news is my phone still boots normally and I can use it. Please help me get back my fastboot so I can upgrade my phone to Lollipop and other modded ROM.
Thank you so much !!!!

I have seen your link before my post, but I still wonder because the "last resort" in the link is used for "bricked" phone or the one that doesn't start up or stuck in somewhere. My phone can still boot and use quite normal : ( except one thing that my sd card always unmounted in this Pinaslang modded rom.

UPDATE I decide to try xFSTK but my computer still recognizes the device as "adb..." . if I turn off developer mode it becomes "portable device" in Window Device Manager.
The xFSTK can't recognize any Cloverfieldplus. (it shows "CLOVERFIELDPLUS...: 0")

Hi,
Because the last resort will use a hardware function (xFSTK way) to update your dnx, ifwi and fastboot images. This way you can restore your fastboot.

Hi techgeard,
Looks like it's a driver timeout.
Which OS are you using? I see they used Windows 7 or before on the tests.
Also you should try getting xFSTK developers (on SourceForge) to help about this issue.

Can't find "fastboot" mode in bootloader

Hello, I've bought the HTC U Ultra for my birthday at a very good price (250€) and I'm very satisfied about this phone!
Only, it's been 3 months since I try to root without any success. I can not find the "fastboot" mode in the bootloader and I do not know how.
Yet I followed all the tutorials to the letter (French expression I do not know if you go to understand ... x)) but I have never reached that point. I have the ADBs and all the other files needed.
Also, I made all the updates at the first launch of the phone. Is that why it's blocked?
Thank you in advance.
PS: I also unlocked the bootloader in the development options.
PS n°2: I post here because the French forums are desperate desert for this phone.
Hold both volume down + power together for around 10 seconds. Your phone will vibrate after that. You will then enter download mode, which is actually fastboot.

The computer is unable to recognise your phone. Maybe another port.

Are you sure you have USB Debugging on and you are using ADB driver from Google, not the one comes from HTC Sync?

I use minimal adb 1.4.2 and i don't installed htc sync.
I use adb command line directly from Android Developers and have absolutely no problem. Maybe uninstall minimal adb and try that one. I can't help you with something I am not familiar with.

You can install TWRP as long as your bootloader is unlocked, regardless of the status of S-ON or S-OFF

double check "Allow USB debugging" for the computer. From Developers "Revoke USB debugging Auth" . Unplug & plug back USB cable should come up with dialog box for auth. You may (not sure) this from cmd: adb reboot fastboot which could come up with error msg: "error: device unauthorized. This adbd's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set; try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong. Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device."
You cant find fastboot mode because it is now called download mode...

Ultra Bricked Mi 9t

Hi !
I need your help please, my phone doesn't want to enter in fastboot mode.
* Black Screen 100%
* If I press power button after 4 or 5 seconds it does a vibration
* Power button + Volume Up (looks llike it turn off the phone)
* Power button + Volume Down (looks like it want to enter in fastboot mode)
When my phone is connected to the PC it is recognized as: Unknown USB Device ( Device Descriptor Request Failed )
Blue LED always turned on (once the phone is recognized as Unknown)
The first that I tought when I saw the message ( Unknown USB Device ) was... ok this phone is really hard bricked and is needing a Test Point.
I did the Test point and my phone still giving the same message.
I tried different USB ports and same problem. (USB ports are ok)
I didn't tried a different USB cable and it has higher probabilities that my USB could be damaged. because (Device Descriptor Failed) is a problem from faulty USB ports or Cable.
But my USB Cable looks like new and it was used few times... also I tried moving a bit the connectors to see if it does something but no.. nothing happened.
The USB Port from the phone is like new. (I opened the phone)
If you have experience with the message: "Unknown USB Device (Descriptor Request Failed)
Please give me some help !
Hi !
Looks like the real problem was from drivers. Finally I installed the K20 drivers from this site : https://gsmusbdriver.com/xiaomi-redmi-k20
Then I did the test point
1) I Pressed power button with the test point
2) I heard a vibration
3) I released the power button but I continued with the test point
4) Voila the drivers were installed correctly and now my phone is recognized as: " Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 "
EDITED:
If you are experiencing in device manager: USB Device Unknown Descriptor Request Failed maybe could be faulty USB port or cable. In my case was the cable. Now is working perfectly everything with a new USB Cable.
Now I'm trying to flash the phone using " Mi Flash Tool "
I downloaded the stock rom from Xiaomi site.. By the way my phone is with bootloader locked and is not rooted.
I pressed Flash button and the program asked for EDL Authentication. "I Created a new account" Logged suscessfull and then:
"Error" Root Element is missing.
WTF? why xiaomi is asking me for a rooted phone??
Please Help, any Idea about what I'm doing wrong?

I think EDL is a special account authorised by Xiaomi.

Yeah u need a EDL Flash and for that an EDL verified Account, which u can't get anymore from xiaomi ..
you have to find someone who are willing to do it for you. Usually you have to pay for it .. around $50.
or try this

Did you try this :
- Download the stock ROM from xiaomi website, no tools needed, just adb and fastboot installed
- Extract the rom to a folder and launch "flash_all.bat" with admin.
- If you encounter an issue try it with another OS (try this if you don't want to install another OS : https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../live-iso-adb-fastboot-driver-issues-t3526755)
Tell us if it works.

Does the phone display the fastboot logo? If it does, then you have to remove some lines from the flash_all.bat file. The first ones where it says something about getvar product.
you can fastboot and just push it in cmd if fastboot active. I bever use bat files, because its only 2 lines to flash

This is what happened:
I was watching my phone recognized as MTP USB Device and I tought yeah! my luck is from my side! now will be possible to flash my pohne in fastboot mode !!
I tried a lot of times with FLASH TOOL and it never passed from:
fed4e139]:info1:$for /F "tokens=2 delims=: " %i in ('fastboot -s fed4e139 getvar anti 2>&1 | findstr /r /c:"anti:"') do (set version=%i )
then I tried in adb: "adb devices" but I never saw my device connected even with MTP USB Device driver activated in Device Manager.
so I tried anyway to use the flash_all.bat and same message received "getvar anti" bla bla..
I never deleted the lines about getvar from the file "flash_all.bat" because now my phone it is exactly as in the begin....
Now the PC doesn't want to recognize the phone... again the same ****.. " USB Device Unknown (Descriptor Request Failed) "
I did the test point and the same crap... the phone doesn't want to be recognized USB Unknown...
Come on... I can't believe it... I had decided to pay for the service flash with EDL authentication in the next week and now I can't even make it boot in EDL... exactly as in the begin I'm.... the phone it is with the same sympthoms.. :crying:
EDITED:
Now the Phone was recognized by the PC again as: MTP USB Device but with yellow sign..
I disconnected, reconnected the cable and nothing yellow sign.
I did the test point and boom Im back again into the same ****... USB UNknown (Descriptor Request Failed)
what the **** is happening?? Im not so sure how the phone can be recognized as MTP USB Device but i guess that it is fastboot mode. and that is what I want to try the solution from the first post of this threads.
or the second solution understand what I have to do to put the phone into EDL. Because I did a lot of times with sucess at the begin and now Im doing exactly the same and nothing. it doesnt want to work.
Looks like drivers problem?

Most likely. I had similar issues with a rn7. Try it on another pc. I had issues getting the phone recognized in w10, then I switched to an old laptop I had with w7. Didn't install drivers, didn't do anything, windows installed it's driver and the phone was there. So it may be a issue with your OS. And again, delete the first two lines from the flash_all.bat to get over that error.
Edit: The flashing with MiFlash tool will only work if you see the fastboot logo on your phone. If the phone is seen in cmd after you type "fastboot devices".

Thanks for the answer, I have the notebook with two windows.
W10 64 bits and W7 32 Bits.
Same problem in both, don't know how can be driver problem, because I installed exactly the correct versión. (I know that is the correct because I could do the test point correctly two days ago) and it was recognized as: "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (COM4)" But today it doesnt want to recognize anymore the phone. Only "USB Device Unknown (Descriptor Request Failed)"
So hard is to make it boot in EDL mode? i saw the picture for test point (k20 xiaomi) and it is really easy. but PC recognize the phone as Unkonwn after test point. The first day that I did the test point happened the same ****.. I was hours and hours trying to make it work.. till I installed the correct drivers. and now is happening the same.. hours and hours trying to boot in EDL and using the same drivers, same process, but nothing.
Except at 3:00 pm dont know how the phone was recognized as MTP USB Device (with yellow sign error in device manager) so i did again the test point and boom.. USB Unknown again...
If I press Power button + volume up the phone looks like turn off and instantly I do the connection from usb cable and nothing appears in device manager but 2 mins or 3 mins later the phone is recognized as unknown and blue led light start to blink every 1 second.
If i do the test point it is recognized instantly as Unknown but there isnt any blue led light blinking.
I tried test point without battery and same. problem.. I tried to do the test point without release the pins so fast.. and same problem I tried releasing fast.. slow... etc
I tried to removed the battery and press power button to drain all the energy from board.
I tried to charging battery with power supply and the blue led light is turned on after 2 mins and it continue on over 10 or 15 mins then it is off the blue light. I used a tester to see the voltage from battery and is ok looks like it is full of charge.
If I do the EDL Cable could it be different? or is the same as test point?
Thanks for your help guys you are good people!

Hi! Thanks! Yes I tried to flash in fastboot mode. I did adb devices command and it was recognized ok.
But when I tried to flash_all.bat it gave me error: "bootloader locked" looks like I need the bootloader unlocked to flash via ADB in fastboot mode.
what I want to try is like a bug in xiaomi mi flash tool. The first time that I tried to use it. I made a new account and I received a message like:
"Logged Suscessfull"
"Your Account was blind to this PC. Now you can start the process"
Then I received an error like "no root permission" or something like that (maybe was because the usb cable was bad)
Looks like the xiaomi flash tool passed the EDL Authentication. because now each time that Im trying to use MI TOOL this is the message that Im getting.
"Logged Sucessfull"
You are not authorized for this operation

Ok, suddenly you can not reinstall via all these methods because your bootloader is locked... Have you tried asking a member here if anyone has an EDL account (a real haha) ?
