(Dev) Motorola unbrick tool
- Thread starter mark332
- Start date
I'm looking at the bat file that you run to unbrick a device. It's included in the zip? Unless I'm mistaken I've downloaded a couple of tools.
Idk what to do I've soft bricked my phone thinking I would be find to experiment because the bootloader is unlocked and there family rescue and all that. Now I'm getting "preboot validation failed" even though my bootloader is unlocked. I can't flash anything.
Idk what to do I've soft bricked my phone thinking I would be find to experiment because the bootloader is unlocked and there family rescue and all that. Now I'm getting "preboot validation failed" even though my bootloader is unlocked. I can't flash anything.
Have a look at the readme.txt:
"it will restore only bootloader on a hard bricked motorla device, you have to Reflash fastboot firmware for compelete unbrick"
There's no .bat file inside. This tool here will only restore your bootloader to be able to start fastboot mode on your device. That's it.
Okay thank you for the reply, I believe I was confusing this post with another on the forum.
If you have time could you give me some advice? I have a phone where I have tried to flash it and it is stuck in bootloop. The phone is the Moto G Pure Ellis. I flashed a magisk patched img using the command flash boot boot.img when I should have flash boot_a boot.img I believe. And to make matters worse I tried to patch dtbo.img afterwards thinking I flashed the wrong img. This put it in a faster bootloop.
Now whenever I try to flash the original factory rom or a patched magisk image I get a validation failed error like my bootloader is locked. But my bootloader is unlocked. Via the motorola unlock key given to me by the website.
Do you know what could be causing it to give me this error like my phone is still boot locked?
What can I do to flash the original boot.img?
Thank you.
Heres my problem
I had a pin on my device when i did a factory reset
when in recovery mode it ask for a password and i didn't input anything i just pressed reboot and it gave an error of some sort and i pressed reboot again and the screen turned black...now when i plug it into the computer it gives a small ambient sound. Holding power for 2 minutes does nothing and holding the vol down and power does nothing either. i need help...
the error i got when using the unbrick tool is
[ -0.000] Opening device: \\.\COM5
Detecting device
[ 30.492] ERROR: sahara_greet_device()->change_mode()->do_hello()->IO error
FAILED: qb_flash_singleimage()->sahara_greet_device()->change_mode()->do_hello()->IO error

ok i installed the drivers from this site https://gsmusbdrivers.com/download/qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-driver-64-bit-windows/
and it is showing in device manager now... i was in EDL mode
whats the next steps
i tried motorola unbrick tool but i still got an error

Windows 11 update should load a newer version. Have a look there.
Try this tool:

The tool here in this thread uses Moto's blankflash files and they have often problems.
im on windows 11 but i also followed the github site that you posted nothing happened when i tried the unbrick too againWindows 11 update should load a newer version. Have a look there.

You should have a look on Windows update for a new version of your QC HS-USB driver.
How did u try to unbrick? We need every step of it to be able to help you. All I know is that you did something. So my help for you is: You did something wrong.
I followed all the steps you provided
it says the best drivers for the device is already installed

Thank you, @mark332 for this treasure trove.
I'm not particularly interested in "do-it-all GUI tools", but I do like the actual Firehose loaders.
I've managed to extract 57 Firehose loaders from all the moto/<number>.bin files.
I was trying to find the correlation between SoC or model and the <number> files.
There are SoC numbers like SM8250 in there but I've yet to find a real index.
the flashtool.qch is an SQLite database, but I haven't dived too deep yet.
There is some duplication of the Firehose loaders.
I've been using a loader for my Moto G Power (2021) from a random source.
I find that that exact (MD5) loader is found in 17.bin and 34.bin
In any case, it looks like the "range restricted" problem is still there.

Every .bin file contains a "index.xml" where the board is listed. You can also use a hex viewer or termux with hexedit
i have all Motorola firehose but i really don't want to leak them in bulk, if you need it for testing purpose, feel free to contact me, i attach some for older model
range restriction applied!

Yes, I summarized that all in the "spoiler" list.
This is not a problem limited to Motorola.
Finding a working Firehose loader is always a challenge.
This is just an example of all the uncorrelated info for a device:
- Device
- Name: Moto G Power (2021)
- Model: XT2117-4
- Board: 333
- SoC
- Name: SM_KAMORTA_H
- Snapdragon: SDM662
- Codename: BENGAL
- MSM number: ?
- HWID: 0014d0e102e80000
- Hash: abbcc86fe393b13d...
- Firehose loader
- MD5: 153a904c54963cb21b901b0dd10f0641
- Size: 609,484
The main thing I need from EDL functionality is not to write 70-odd partitions (as it seems the goal for most people who use GUI tools), but to pull copies of boot and recovery. I use them to root either directly or with Magisk.
Considering that I bought an "unlocked", non-provider phone I wasn't expecting this restriction.
I (think) I see from the code that a CID of 255 will remove this restriction.
There seems to be another flag that does that too but it's written in the same area as the CID with the same mechanism and checksums.
Are there any solutions around "range restricted"?

6Hello guys presenting all New Motorola unbrick tool which can restore bootloader on any hard bricked Motorola Phone through EDL Mod..
How to use:
- Install qcom or mtk driver according your device
- run tool, select model, click unbrick button
- Now connect phone in EDL or BROM mod according your device
- wait until success, once done your phone rebooted in fastboot mod, just download and flash fastboot firmware by running flash_all.bat
Current version: V1.0 beta
Credit: Me for compiling it, Motorola Inc for Providing firmware & loader
Source Code: Github
Disclaimer:
- use at own risk
- adviced for Retail devices, however you can try on branded too bcz your phone already in dead condition
