Many thanks - this blankflash unbricked my XT1955-5 as well. And a tip of the hat as well to vinoxflame for the Moto G7 River Telegram group heads up.

Hey, i know i'm a bit late to the thread, but what exactly did you do to unbrick your Moto? Mine keeps getting stuck at waiting for firehose to get ready. Even though i have a Moto g7 Power XT1955-4. I'm so confused.

You have a xt1955-4 , I haven't seen anyone other than you post that they tried the blankflash.
It's possible that it's not compatible.
The XT1955-5 is single sim, and I believe the XT-1955-4 is dual SIM, and possible other hardware differences.

Yeah you're probably right. Looks like i might be screwed in that case. Regardless thanks for the help.

Hi, I have a moto g7 power xt1955-5 I got from metro. I got them all unlocked and they also did the imei repair. On all but one of them, after the unlock and repair I could flash the stock rom and get the retla1st channel. However on one of them I can't. Does somebody have a blank flash that will flash the proper boot or bootloader to allow this or a complete backup I can use to make this possible to flash other stock roms. P.S. On all of the other phones I did the bootloader was locked. Thanks in advance.

Checking in a bit late, but the blankflash should have theoretically worked. Based on what you said, it looks like it is hanging at the point where the programmer is identifying the CPU; it takes about 3 seconds after the "Waiting for firehose to get ready" message for the CPU version ("MSM8953 1.0") to show up and the blankflash to continue. That points to either the programmer.mbn not being compatible with the XT1955-4 variant or that tweaks need to be made to files in the blankflash (e.g., xml edits and/or replacing .bin files with files for that specific variant).

Check the qboot log and after the "qboot version x.xx" line there's a DEVICE { section; confirm in that section that the cpu.id is 186 and the CPU.name is "MSM8953". If the CPU detection is correct then the blankflash probably needs to be tweaked.

I have the metro moto g7 power and ive tried the blankflash 10 times or more and mine hangs on exactly the same part as the person w/ the xt1955-4 .. I may give the sdcard boot a shot and see if that will work. Hate to use my samsung 128 gb ultra card for it but i have two so wth. lol.

when i bricked some months ago i was using one of the 1st test twrp that came out and i rebooted recovery i believe and that was it. no more nothing..

You changed the block size to bs=1000000000 ?
like

sudo dd bs=1000000000 if=mmcblk0.img of=/dev/sdb status=progress oflag=sync

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

and rename XT1955.5.mmcblk0.img to mmcblk0.img
or change code like

sudo dd bs=1000000000 if=XT1955.5.mmcblk0.img of=/dev/sdb status=progress oflag=sync

Just to be clear do I need to do the block size change after following the tutorial or at step #1 ? I'm about to give this a shot and going to just use one of my Samsung ultra 128 gb sdcards. Just want to make 100% sure when to change the block size. I sure appreciate you uploading the mmcblk.img for the xt1955-5!!

You shouldn't need the mmcblk0.img there is a blankflash

I've tried the blankflash 12-15 times and doesn't work. I have metro g7 power.. I'll try it again and post the log in 20-30 minutes of exactly what it says when I hold buttons down and get it going..

Update:
I finally got around to Unlocking the bootloader, and rooting.
The Terminal Emulator method wasn't working for me.
I flashed the new TWRP
[PORT] Unofficial TWRP for G7 Power by Geofferey
and used the steps in this thread
[GUIDE] How to create 'mmcblk0.img' from a working device? by kalyansundhar
and used

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/external_sd/XT1955.5.mmcblk0.img bs=1000000000 count=30

The mmcblk0.img is almost 30gb, I'm compressing it, and uploading now may take awhile.

Old Post

I believe if someone with a rooted Moto G7 can pull a copy of the mmcblk0.img from their device with
Terminal Emulator
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en

using these commands

su

GRANT Terminal emulator a Root Access

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/Loader.img bs=1024 count=168960

That mmcblk0.img can be used to boot the non-working G7 into Fastboot mode, as described in the links below
and then you just need to reflash the firmware.
