Bro i dont have words to thank you.you saved my life..thanks a ton.just one note to all people trying this device remember one thing,you can not downgrade the firmware with this method so use the latest firmware in my case it was not availible on the site given so i downloaded one from google.and yeah i am not responsible for any damages caused by following what i say..

This worked for me THANKS You now have a new subscriber

Its working now the android is on booting up. Thanks RootJunky

wow man you dont know how happy i am. I was doing the OTA on my device and my phone memory was full and it somehow got bricked. and i tried out a lot of videos on the RU-vid none of them work luckily i came across your video and it instantly worked. damm man thank you so so so much. i hope every one in this situation find out your video.

Thanks for all the time you invest to educating us with your videos.

Nice job - as usual. I appreciate your work and watched even though I don't own a Motorola. I always learn something.

Awesome video Tom and congrats for the 100k subscribers!!!

I have a Moto Z (XT1650) that is stuck in a boot loop. Is there any way to use RSD Lite to restore the device without losing all the data? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Eddie

(Moto G4 Plus here) the problem with my device is it is stuck in a continous restarting cycle and unfortunately my power button is ruined. It would either flash the blue startup motorola icon screen or if I press the volume down button, it would show the Android logo for a few seconds and restart again. Please help..

Dude, just wanna give a huge thanks for this tutorial. An OTA somehow bricked my 2-month old Moto Z, along with what seemed like a corrupted OS since it threw verification failed warnings on boot. I suspected the corrupted OS caused the failed OTA. Thanks to your guide, some dudes on XDA, and personal friends, I managed to get my Moto working perfectly again! Was a bit of a faff due to Windows 10 and all, but it wasn't overly complicated. Saved me a few bucks and a potential courier fee. xD

I LOVE YOU!!!..... this is the only method that worked!!! I spent hours and hours trying to fuix a Moto G. You saved my mom's phone. Oh man I want to kiss you (No-HOMO). THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

I finally fix my sister's Moto g first gen even though she got a new phone, thank you

Thanks Buddy.... Really Helped me a lot. Got my moto g first gen up and running again. Keep it up

RSD lite does not recognize my Motorola device however I installed all the drivers for 64 bit,I have windows 10.any suggestions ? thanks

hi sir.... I have a problm in my moto X ghost sprint 4.4.4. Kitkat version i have been flashed my mobile in correct way only but my has not sloved my problm is wifi and sim network +bluetooth is not working so plz help me as soon as possible

Not sure you are still checking comments, but I have tried all the firmware listed for my phone and it fails each time. Underneath the battery line it says device locked, not sure if that is the issue. I can scroll through modes, but I won't let me select anything. The error is failed flashing process 3/27 flash partition gpt.bin phone returned FAIL

Dude, you got a sub for this particular phone! I bought one and am liking so far. :)

You saved My Life! Will never Forget you in my life!

Man congratulations for your videos tutorials and tips, ... This procedure was of great help thank you. Now, if you can, this procedure works on MOTO G4 PLUS XT1640 with android 7.0 and your security patch is December 1, 2016. So what do you say? Or you already have another procedure for the Moto G4 Plus XT1640 device ??? This guy is difficult to solve ... thanks and congratulations for the channel.

RSD lite is not picking my phone up. And I've tried 4 different usb cables and 2 moto e surnia's Any suggestions??

Quero ver resolver com a mensagem "flasing_locked" no Moto Z3 play.

Congrats Dude for 100k subs

RootJunky, thanks a trillion for your eruditional videos! Unfortunately my Moto G4 Play is not booting up, not even into fasboot, after LMSA flashed the wrong HARPIA flash file to it. I've tried blankflash batch file from XDA forums but that gets stuck in a hello for command loop or error reading packets. I remember this has a ReTIN firmware file on Nougat 7.1.1. What solution is possible?

i hard bricked my device and can't get into the bootloader cause its dead do you know how to unbrick Moto G2 :), help would be appreciated

We need updated information for 2022 please. Specifically the Motorola stylus 2020. These Newer Motorola's need a special edl cable when they are in a dead hard brick state and there is no information on the internet about how to make one or where to get one. All I see is information for xiaomi phones and Samsung but no Motorola

Hey Dude you literally saved my life, thanks soooo much

I have the XT1641. Its not possible to enter bootloadermode without the chargingcable. And when entering bootloader the system freezes after approx 5 seconds. how can I fix this ?

If your bootloader is locked and your phone is bricked are you screwed then?

Will this work on moto e6 XT2005-5 and if so will it no longer say device integrity compromised

I have the VZW XT1528 Mote E and I am getting a gpt.bin error when flashing with RSD Lite. I tried editing that out and it continues on until the system partitions and it fails there.

Dude, you saved my Moto G Ferrari Edition. Thank you

Thank you, this tutorial help me.

well my phone is not detected , i tried official lenovo rescue software but the connection got interrupted due to wire while flashing, now both the software doesn't even detect my phone

Hey what about hard brick with only green led and not fast mode! Just only usb sound with qoulcom port 98 driver? ???

Hello. I have a Xt1069 "bricked". I can not flash anything in it. Fastboot is ok. Its recovery is TWRP 3.2.1. I can not flash a stock ROM neither a LineageOS. I can not flash another recovery. Every time that I try the first message on the flash list is FAILED (remote failure). I have noticed that there is a "has-slot: not found" in some cases. Is it a hardware problem? I use Linux Mint in my PC with adb, fastboot and RSD. Please help me. Thanks a lot!!

Thank you man, you literally saved my life! :D

Hello sir, plz help me out.! I want to have more knowledge on what has happened to my phone. I own a Moto G3 XT1543 with Android 6.0 M (Stock). The firmware or bootloader has never been modified or unlocked. The only updates that were installed on the phone were the official ones I recieved. From one moment to another the phone never powered on again, i followed the standard procedures by mantaining the Power + Vol Down buttons for more than one minute with and without the charger and it did not respond. The only vitals signs that acknowledged that the phone is not completely dead were when I connected the phone through USB to a Windows PC, showing as an HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3) in the Device Manager, however the phone screen did not show any image or signs of being alive, dispite of being recognized in the OS. I appreciate any insight or way of trying to recover the phone.
