Bricked moto Z - Cannot flash as device does not show in RSD Lite.

[sudd1976]

Hello Guys,

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I have been given a Moto Z, but its currently in a weird state, boots but during setup it just hangs at the Wi-fi page.

Not a problem, i will just flash it, like my other Moto's using RSD lite.

But RSD is not picking up the device, I have installed the latest Moto drivers but still nothing is shown in RSD.

Is there something that I have missed or is there a different way to flash this phone ?

Have you tried this version of RSD lite?

Thanks a lot,

This worked for me 100%, took a while to create the batch file but now my Moto z is fully working.

I have a Moto Z which is currently unusable as no firmware provides working Wifi, custom roms are bringing up errors and the like. Could you post the ROM you flashed yours with, and this batch file you are talking about so I can try that route?

I flashed Verizon firmware (my Moto Z is XT1650 -03 GRIFFIN and bootloader unlocked) from this link (https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip)

The bat file that works with this rom you can download here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0Re71K5j65rNWl4X3ptX0t0dms

You should unzip the rom and after unzip the second file inside rom's folder. Connect you device in flash mode and run servicefile.bat

Thanks for your response. It flashed correctly, but the Wifi issue is stil there. MAC address is valid, but it cannot find any networks that are floating through the air. I can just assume some kind of hardware defect, but since I unlocked the bootloader I cannot return it. **** happens.

I'm irritated... afaik the 1650-03 is Europe/global but not US. Verizon is clearly a US provider, so it might be wrong to use a stock ROM from a US provider for a non-US-phone?

We just want to test this rom to use all processor capacity, once the original for us limited it in 1.8 Ghz....
