Hi, maybe you could give us some more clear infos of what you have done exactly...
Why you want to unlock your bootloader?
Try to reflash an original firmware with RDS and if you want root use "TwerkMyMoto"...

you dont need to unlock the bootloader to reflash your original firmware via RSD-Lite!

I got yesterday also an Update-Information from whatsapp. I will NOT install until it is confirmed as non-bricking. Thx for your info/warning!

i Just try using RDS Lite but in the step 4 the reboot never boot and the flash fail

Can you enter recovery? Selecting it in the fastboot menu, what happens? In RSD does it flashes and only in the reboot portion it fails? Did you try to turn it on without the external SD card?

As far as i can tell the device is trying to use the linux discard command, it seems like a wipe that gone wrong.

Hi thiagomtl let me answer your questions, when i try to enter in recovery the phone gets stuck again with the motorola boot logo and after a while returns to fastboot mode, and when i try to flash whit RSD in the step 4 that is reboot, on the phone stays a command that says Rebooting Droidboot and nothing happens, and yeah when i do this operaions i always remove the sim card and the sd card

, so if you now something ill appreciate a lot it!!

Try those in fastboot:
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase cache
After try RSD again.

Are you sure about that ?

For original firmware there is no need to unlock

I already do that but im still getting this error
BLKDISCARD ioctl /dev/block/mmcblk0 fail
I am guessing that is an error in the emmc, the problem is that i don't know how to fix it

Victor, I'm having the exact same problem. Did you find any solution?

ismael_mj23 · Aug 28, 2014

I'm having the exact same problem!!

What I did was that when it gets stuck waiting for reboot I did reboot it manually into fastboot mode again and process continues. The problem is that it gets stuck again when flashing the system partition. Bootloader won't let me erase the partition nor flash it.

Tried unlocking the bootloader and:

(bootloader) BLKDISCARD ioctl /dev/block/mmcblk0 fail
(bootloader) Erase userdata fail
(bootloader) General Unlock failure!
(bootloader) OEM unlock failure!
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 9.666s

Is there a way to know the original provider of the phone, to make sure I'm using the correct firmware?

You got a serious bug. There is a huge change your device is now broken beyond repair, i hope not. But can u access the recovery partition? Can u flash a custom boot image?

I also having the same problem after force power on/off when hang during TWRP format. Now the unit in hard brick. If able to force temporary boot into recovery using ram instead of rom, might have some hope. But it looks like no way to boot from ram. :crying:

same prob as victor gtz

fsd lite freezes at step 4, unlock bootloader doesnt work and so on and so forth, so anybody got a clue what to do?

Same problem here, rsdlite didnt work for me and the bootloader cant be unlocked with the same error message. Theres any way to solve this? i read once that you can recover the android from the dead even if the boot isnt working, maybe thats not true at all.....

It's true, but not for all devices. And if u have the above, the nand memory is broken. That can only be repaired by some kind of powercycle on chip level or anything.
