Help with hard-bricked Qualcomm Moto E4 (xt1768)

[rudism]

I've got a Moto e4 Qualcomm xt1768 (non-Amazon ads version) which I had previously successfully unlocked the bootloader on and rooted. Was messing around recently and managed to (I think) ruin the partition table. It no longer gives any indication of powering on, but if I plug it into a computer right after popping the battery out and in again it's showing up in HS-USB mode as a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. From my research it seems like, with the correct files, I could recover by either flashing something via QFIL (some kind of firehose image?) or possibly getting into fastboot by dd writing a full emmc backup of a working device to an SD card. Unfortunately I don't have either of those things for this device.

If anyone has either of those things already, or might be willing to do a dd dump of their xt1768 for me to try the SD card method, or has other information for me that would help me recover the device, I would be forever grateful.

You need a stock firmware to revive your phone and nothing else. As far as it is detected by computer.

I tried the sdcard dump method and it did not work. Without a new leaked image the new e4 cannot be restored from the qualcomm bootloader.

Heres the loader.img i made before my phone was bricked. If you find a way to use this or a blankflash file that works with our phone please let me know

Awesome! Can confirm that this worked and brought my bricked xt1768 back to life. Thank you!

Sorry to bump, but I also wanted to confirm that this worked for me as well. Did a successful restore but didnt realize that the firmware version I downloaded had an older bootloader so it bricked my phone. Finally found this post and all is well again!
