ONE X BSOD, How to unlock bootloader and flash Custom ROM?

I need to try everything with my Black screen of death in order to repair it
So, I have seen this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923943
but in order to follow it I need to unlock bootloader, and with the BSOD I cant see anything even in fastboot mode, so how can I unlock it?
Please help :S!!

Why don't you just take the warranty repair while you still can?
Sent from my HTC One X

so you cant even go into bootloader?

I cant sent to warranty because I open it to change the battery 2 month ago, everything works fine but now...
OK, I have unlocked already the bootloader thanks kskendsup , but now, I cant flash a ROM because it isnt in the list of adb devices, because I cant enable (turn on) the USB Debuggin option as I cant see anything :S

The most dumbest thing ever, you should have send it for warranty .....like they know what happend with the battery, everything was 100% stock and they had to give warranty !!! My humble opinion ......
You are screwed !

error |: device not found

As soulja already said. Boot the phone to the bootloader and recovery. Reflash a rom. If that is impossible to achieve there is absolutely nothing we can do.

it wont boot or respond even for charger

Then it's proper dead.....

Good try the Adb command Adb reboot bootloader see if you can get into that but might be tricky
Edit.... Just seen your last post hope you have insurance

Won't something like this work on that device, of course downloading the correct HTC One M8 equivalent files?
qhsusb_bulk detection lg g2 fix

what dongle i need for it ?

But if the device is not even switching on its a no go right ?

Yeah.
I can recall also reading something some time ago about making your SD Card(External) the bootable one and then fixing the "internal" from there but I'm not sure if that will even work either, was for another device as well.
I don't think a lot of developers/"hackers" on here sat down trying to figure out solutions to a problem that isn't so frequent on this device. I mean, who would flash a LG "anything" on an HTC...
Just wondered if it might work out seeing as it at least "detects" that much from the phone. It's a type of Qualcomm recovery mode isn't it, QHUSB-etc etc
Figured that maybe it is in a "semi" on condition already, it's just that you can't do anything with it. But if it's completely broke then might as well take it into service center for repair. Don't know what you're gonna tell them though @escoda

Yep. From what i know on the htc one x, once you turn off the phone completely (no hibernation mode) and you plug it in the pc it goes automatically to a adb hibernation mode. That's why its in the device manager. So it reads the device but can't respond correctly. But to get a step ahead it's very necessary to turn the device on.

@escoda its not completely bricked yet. Just go to ubuntu and follow the guide mentioned from Brendm14. Like he also said you only need to download then those files for the htc one m8. Most qualcomm devices have everything on the same partition but you could probably examine or the bootloader and the other required stuff are the same partition number as in the guide. If so then you still just need to download the htc files and do it the same.
I dont know where you can get the htc files since I am/was an LG user.

Those files are present on any firmware.zip for the appropriate phone model.

Flashing just a wrong kernel would not do that. Something must have happened that messed with the bootloader.

Where did you go wrong?
Did you flash an older stock ROM than which was installed in your phone before you unlocked BL?
Was the RR file completely downloaded? What error did you get while flashing RR?

Why did you flash ota via adb sideload?
Very bad idea - why? Because I bet that ota wasn't meant for your firmware version
Only ever update your phone through the about phone section on a totally unmodified stock rom with stock recovery
Sorry but you will have to take it to a repair shop to either get it reimaged or get a new board that has the firmware already on it

RIP Moto G5's Bootloader Partition
This happened to me too and the only fix was the Warranty replacing the entire Motherboard.
U can try Qualcomm mode (qfil) or blank flash but motorola doens't have released that files (and never will)

replacing the entire motherboard.

@CypherPotato You seriously achieved that? They didn't check for BL unlock status?
I just bricked mine, still uncertain what happened, left it doing an update (OTA) with a 30-35% battery... dunno if the battery ran out during the update thus bricking it or the update with the unlocked BL did it.
Same situation as described, no response while connected to the PC only a blinking led.
Checking for battery drain issues (also present in the G series) by letting it charge for a while.
But commom, what Moto have in their heads, replacing the whole motherboard seems quite dumb, releasing the files can't be that hard. Loved my old Nexus 5, hardbricked it like 3 times and didn't take 1 hour to find how to undo it.

Yeah... Motorola sucks until don't released Osprey (Moto G 2015) blankflash files, since the bootloader is locked for an only and one shipped ROM you cannot update in stock rom anymore, and I don't known the risks of re-locking the bootloader inside an non-shipped stock rom. The best you can do is create an system-dump backup before flashing new roms.
Unlocking the bootloader probally will break all device warranties, because you don't will able to flash another rom anymore.
The unique and unknown solution is reflashing the entire device's memory, that we will need to use the Qualcomm's blank flash files and Cedric blank flash files to rewrite the entire internal memory.
The flashing LED only indicates the device failed to start, but he still alive.

I tried to use Miflash unlock to unlock bootloader but I can't it's showed me this (please add your account in Mi account)
what could I do now?
Thanks

First of all: stay calm and don't randomly try things in panic mode, that usually makes it worse. Detail your problem a bit further, explaining all steps that lead to the bootloop. You still have fastboot, that's a good start. Breathe

Have you tried flashing official firmware images? I'm not really familiar with Xiaomi but it shouldn't require a bootloader unlock. In any case it should be covered under warranty if you don't want to go too deep down the rabbit hole...

Question hard/soft bricked

I tried downgrading my Moto G30 from Android 12 to Android 11 using an available stock ROM I found on the internet. At first, I faced some problems and a soft brick, but finally, I was able to flash and boot it correctly. Then, knowing that the ROM flashed was "stock," I decided to relock the bootloader, which was a mistake. After rebooting, I got the message "No valid operating system could be found. The device will not boot."
I spent the whole day trying to figure out how to get it working again. The main problem here is that I relocked the bootloader and can't get to the OS again to enable the option in developer settings to re-unlock it and flash another ROM. I tried using RSA (LMSA) to restore it, but it refuses, and I think it gets the same error that won't let me flash anything to the phone.
During my research, I found that one possible solution is to boot in EDL mode and flash everything again, but I don't want to open my phone and do weird things to get into that mode. Hopefully, there's another solution or another way to get into EDL.
If you have any information that could help me solve this, please comment.

I had the same problem with mine. The thing is, i tried to flash a blank-flash image but it wont go. I think its to early to downgrade your Moto G30, but you can try to flash the stock image in EDL Mode by opening your Motorola. Also you might need to send it to Motorola. Sorry
In the image you have the EDL Test Point you must brick.

But also you can try

Don't you need to just blankflash it in EDL?
And yes you most likely need to open it.
For the Blankflash you need to download Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant (since lenovo produces moto phones). What this does it installs the correct drivers for your phone.
And the files can be found here : https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/caprip/blankflash/
Good luck and as always, do your own research!

I think you can flash with Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant or manually, the XML is to flash automatically, you can flash manually each image.
If you cant maybe there is an error along the way.
I might look into this later. I would lock my bootloader to test but i dont have a backup.

This might be a complete brick because of the downgrade from what I've read.
There is little info on the forum about this issue so I don't want to make wrong suggestions until i can test.

Yes, unfortunately, there is still little information about the Moto G30. But I hope that there will be more information and solutions in the future.

Maybe you can help me with some info i am interested in.
1.You have booted into EDL using Short Pin method
2.You have used blankflash successfully
3.Then you try to flash manually and got Permission Denied?
For both Android 11 Stock ROM and Android 12 Stock Rom?
EDIT: Is the back of the phone glued? Or just clamps so you can put it back with no glue?
Since i want to test this soon hopefully.

1. Yes
2. I used a blankflash successfully.
3. Then in fastboot tried to flash the android 11 stock and after it failed the android 12 stock image. Also i tried the RSA varient. Both will not work.
The back is clicked in place. There are two stickers on the phone. Two white ones, One on the top left corner and one on the bottom of the phone.
But careful when you open the back. The screws are well screwed and the cap over the motherboard is slightly stuck. Maybe this will help you: Dissasembly Moto G30 YouTube

@U_ShowcaseDev Thank you so much! This is exactly what i wanted to know!
