Moto G4 hard bricked (XT 1622)

[markusk11]

This is another question on how to unbrick a hard-bricked G4.

What I did so far:
1) Windows runs on test mode.

2) QualcommDrv installed --> Device is shown as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5)"

3) Downloaded "blankflash-MotoG4" package and ran the blank-flash.bat file --> ERROR: sahara_greet_device()->change_mode()->do_hello()->IO error

4) Pressed POWER BUTTON + VOL DOWN while running the bat file: same error

5) out of curiosity I took a blankflas package for G4+ and this took me to " Waiting for firehose to get ready"
but nothing more happened after this message.

Any advice? Thank you!

The same problem is happening with my moto g4.

The same problem is happening with my moto g4, I tried many blank flash, but did not work.

Can you check the qboot log and see if there's any more info there that might explain what the problem is? An IO error normally indicates that your device can't be detected or there's an issue with the file system
