Using Mfastboot.exe to Flash a Motorola device

[sd_shadow]

i think unbricking and flashing are two totally different things.... i think this guide is for flashing the device not for unbrick...

Term Bricked is used loosely meaning the device will not boot.

Have you tried the methods discussed here: http://www.aryk.tech/2017/08/moto-g4-plus-ultimate-unbrick-debrick-guide.html

It should work for your device.

What did you download, from where?

i missed the quote... that was the reply for arykit i have download that file already...

Device model number?
Bootloader version?
Firmware filename?
Error names?

Hi bro
I have a small question
which is command I can use to restore recovery from custom back to stock?

mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img

Can I do it with only one command?

There are several reasons flashing can fail.
First I would suggest using the flash_all.bat

Is the bootloader unlocked?
Which model # ?
Firmware is for your model and carrier?
Firmware is the same or newer version?

Yes its unlocked , Its the XT900-1 Moto X4 from the google store (Android one). I had no issues before applying roms. I have tried many firmwares and they all do the same thing. Not install modems- before I changed my rom this time that broke it I was on latest update of stock rooted. Yes i have read that thread- thats the thread I used to swap back to stock. So I know that rom works, but now i get no modems. i have spent two days now trying to get it working- the phone powers on boots everything normal just no wifi and cell

I just recieved fastboot from Lenovo Smart Repair & Recovery

Last night I recieved the adb and fastboot tools from Lenovo's repair utility (Rescue and Smart Assistant) I was able to capture the files.. There is no mfastboot. Here are the executables provided along with their version numbers:

X:\>adb --version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.40
 Version 4986621


X:\>fastboot --version
 fastboot version 26.0.0 rc1-eng.a18317.20171105.083832

Unfortunately, these are only for Windows 7+. I'm looking for the latest fastboot for Linux. A check of https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools reveals even later releases:

$ fastboot --version
fastboot version 30.0.3-6597393

$ adb --version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41
Version 30.0.3-6597393

I will be using fastboot version 30.0.3-6597393 to create an mmcblk0 backup as I believe that mfastboot is deprecated. This is my indication due to the fact that the command options from mfastboot are now available in fastboot for linux and windows versions.

Does anyone have any better information?

I could only get radios to flash on an old Windows 7 laptop I have kicking around. Intel 2 Duo (32-bit) and only USB2 ports. Installed 32bit Moto USB drivers (6.4.0) and used the mfastboot in this thread. I am on an Z3 Play and used the firmware from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/.
