Damn, pain in the bottom. Must be a good few of us in this situation now. It's frustrating though, logically it is only a software problem so of course it's possible to fix it. There is and will be a way, just need to keep at it. My phone is still lonely on my desk if I can sacrifice it towards any testing that could contribute

Problem is the area to write the imei back has write protection enabled so we can change the imei back in the software but we can't write it back to the phone without knowing the spc code which Motorola used.

Mm, I wonder if its hypothetically crackable. How long would it take I wonder

Decompilied kernel, looking through to see if I can disable write protect.

Good luck bud, I very much don't think it can be done due to the nature of where it resides, I have a funny feeling that it read-only unless a SPC code is found to flip a bit.

Any idea where the spc is located and or how to generate it.

 

[hacktrix2006]

Haven't the slightest where it would be mate.

 

[Tosgaba]

God damn SPC

Yeah, we all know at the moment that we need that stupid code to fix this issue.
One week ago in the citycentre i went to a repair shop and asked if they can fix my imei with those dongles/boxes but reply was "Not yet"

Today i red a blog post about repairing IMEI on some snapdragon devices and applied on my xt1032 first part went ok but when rebooted qpst saw my device as unknown platform/model.
Then tried writing nv item backup to device it failed.

So is all hope lost guys?

 

[Tosgaba]

Still waiting

So is all hope lost guys?

skyguy and a couple of other friends working on it but i think they are busy nowadays.
For myself; i tried every possible solution, hint or experiment on my xt1032 but couldn't make any progress

 

[ol_st]

Is it possible to order somewhere motherboard, replace it and bring the phone to usage?..

 

[Tosgaba]

Yeah, that is correct

 

[ol_st]

Can you suggest a reliable selller?

Friends, I found on 4pda.ru an article of a guy who was successful to recover bricked Snapdragon based OpePlus One smartphone. He says, that it could be done in 5-15 mins with right understanding of what to do. Please, have a look at it, maybe it will bring a light to recovering Moto G http://www.androidbrick.com/ultimate-qualcomm-snapdragon-unbrick-guide-snapdragons-are-unbrickable/

PS One UK Moto Service Centre said that they could recover my Moto G just for 59 EUR for doing something. I think this is too much for the service.
