I hard bricked my phone and now i'm trying to make it work again.
Unfortunately motorola didn't released to us the progamming files for the Qualcomm HS-USB download mode, but searching i've found a diferent unbrick method that worked on other qualcomm phones, including one with the same SoC of merlin.

What i need is that someone with a working and rooted Merlin device run this command to copy the internal partitions and send me the file:
Code: 
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/Loader.img bs=1024 count=168960
Thanks a lot if anybody can help me

The sources of what i'm trying are here:

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for helping. Unfortunately it doesn't worked :(
Maybe the command i copied from the source website was wrong, because 165mb is of course so small.

This should make a full copy of internal memory, but will generate a huge file

yes, near about 14.5 gb when compressed then near about 2 gb

The first uploaded loader.img file is corrupted. If someone would backup once again and upload it, we can try. Steps to create "Loader.img" file is as follows.
How to Create Bootable SD Card with Moto G Turbo Loader.img File On your PC
1. Get another exact variant of your device and INSERT an SD Card on it. The device chipset must be the same. Thus, if your device (bricked) is MSM8269, the required device CPU has to be MSM8269, too.

2. Root the working (exact variant) device and install Terminal Emulator on it.

3. Download and install Busybox on the device. You may download Busybox from here

4. Once BusyBox is installed, launch/open it and run/install its dependencies/files by clicking on the appropriate key.

5. Now, launch/open Terminal Emulator on the device and follow these procedures:

a. On Terminal EmulatorType:

su

and hit/tap the Enter key. You will be prompted to GRANT Terminal emulator a Root Access, click GRANT.

b. Then, type:

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

and hit/tap the Enter key.

6. Wait few minutes or until Terminal Emulator completes the process.

7. Now, check the Root Folder/Directory of the SD Card inserted on the phone. You will notice that a file named Loader.img has been created.
Qualcomm Device Unbrick .img File

GOOD! That's your Qualcomm device Unbrick file. Copy the file onto your PC and continue to the step two (2) below.

strong>NOTE: What we have done in the steps above is that; we have copied all the necessary partition required to boot your Qualcomm android device and compressed it in a .img file. -file format that is widely supported by fastboot commands and can be flashed on SD Card

Now, here is how to flash Loader.img file we created from the first step on your SD Card.
