I tried to install a custom rom and the phone ended up stuck in fastboot mode​


After installing a downgrade the phone had a message saying to relock the bootloader so I did that but blindly the phone couldn't boot the system and got stuck in fastboot mode. Now I can't boot the original rom (I think it's because of the "flashing locked" status).
Will someone be able to help me? Please, I don't know what else to do... (I'm using google translator)

you tried flashing latest stock rom? If that didn't work you should try a blankflash if there is one

    My "G8 Plus XT2019-2 retbr" can't start (only fastboot mode), does not boot/recovery mode.
    Before that, everything worked correctly with bootloader unlocked and Magisk installed, after bricked, I relocked bootloader - now shows "flashing_locked" on the fastboot screen, it is no longer possible to unlock the bootloader!
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    1) Lenovo "Rescue and Smart Assistant 5.4.0.18" recognizes my device as "Current version: QPIS30.28_Q3_28_26" and downloaded the FW:

    "DOHA_QPIS30.28_Q3_28_26_1_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml", but when trying to recover, the progress bar reaches 50%, and then I get the

    message:
    "Fastboot Flash Single Partition - Flash failed. Please try again."
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    2) When I turn off the device connected to the RSA, and click the "Rescue Now" button, "Power-off Mode" tab and "OK" button, so I choose:
    "MOTO Phone" > "Moto G Plus (8th Gen)" > "XT2019-2", and click on "Read current device", I see
    "Targuet firmware: DOHA_QPIS30.28_Q3_28_26_1_subsid... (2,0 GB)"
    But when I click on "Rescue now", I get the same message as before;
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    3) "blankflash_doha_QPI30.28-Q3-28-26" not work, just show "< waiting for device >";
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    4) Motorola "RSD Lite v6.2.4" recognized as
    "Model = Fastboot dhoa S" > "IMEI / ESN / MEID = N/A" > "Status = Connected",
    and "Device Properties" ALL "N/A",
    so I choose the flashfile.xml file from the same fw mentioned above, and when I click "Start", I get:
    "Status = The phone failed to switch to fastboot mode." > "Result = FAIL"
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    5) When I try to install FW with the same commands I used successfully earlier, I get the message below:

    C:\platform-tools>fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
    Sending 'partition' (37 KB) OKAY [ 0.000s]
    Writing 'partition' (bootloader) Validating 'gpt.default.xml'

    (bootloader) flash permission denied
    (bootloader) Cancelling 'gpt.default.xml'
    FAILED (remote: '')
    fastboot: error: Command failed


    These "(bootloader) Canceling ..." / "FAILED (remote: '')" / "error: Command failed" messages are repeated for all other commands when trying to restore the FW.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    6) After trying many times, I sent the device to Motorola authorized service in Brazil, but they also failed to recover my device,
    and transferred the blame to me, for having unlocked the bootloader ...

    I don't know what else to try:cry:: could someone help me, please ?
    RSD lite doesn't work with anything higher than Windows 7

    If you relocked the bootloader, and Lmsa doesn't work it's very unlikely that there is any fix.

    Does anyone have the controls for the moto g 8 xt2045-1 to flash the stock rom?
    Use either LMSA: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101291-rescue-and-smart-assistant-lmsa or flash it yourself using
    https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/rav/official/ (Use your carrier)

    And these commands:

    fastboot oem fb_mode_set
    fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
    fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
    fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
    fastboot flash radio radio.img
    fastboot flash logo logo.bin
    fastboot flash boot boot.img
    fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
    fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
    fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.0
    fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.1
    fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.2
    fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.3
    fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.4
    fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.5
    fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.6
    fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.7
    fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.8
    fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.9
    fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.10
    fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.11
    fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.12
    fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.13
    fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.14
    fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin
    fastboot flash erase userdata
    fastboot flash erase ddr
    fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

    To flash manually you'll also need Fastboot tools:
