Nice. Means it working for other Variant also

I don't think you will receive OTA updates even after locking the bootloader again.

You have done something wrong. This method is working 100%. Explain the error. Which build you are trying to flash...?

I am using the stock XT1681-XT1683_POTTER_BRASIL_latam_MEXICO (NPNS25.137-15) and following all the commands and in the end returns the message (still requires signed boot.img) will it be due to my device being Brazilian?

I get same error on my EU Version.

everything works perfectly in indian variant
1.download the brazillian variant of stock rom
2.follow these steps
3.flash whole stock rom using commands posted.
4.you will get ota as soon as you start device

Help I bricked my Moto Z play

I flashed the wrong bootloader so fastboot does not work. I still have TWRP Working but anything I flash does not boot. I am looking for a full factory OTA that I can flash via TWRP so it will re-flash the proper bootloader and all the other factory images so I can un-brick it through fastboot. I have tried to flash many different update files but it gives an error 7 and says to be on 6.0.1 or 7.0 before installing it. Can someone please help me un-brick this or link a full OTA that I can flash via TWRP. I attached the bootloader.img so if anyone could make a flashable zip to flash the stock bootloader that would probably work.

If fastboot works then you're not hard bricked, most likes soft brick. I would suggest flashing magisks 14 after you flash the rom as dm-verity will check if your system is modified , dm-verity needs to be disabled

I already tried flashing magisk. Also I can boot into the bootloader but the computer does not see it in fastboot anymore (probably because I flashed the bootloader.img for the moto z play droid accidentally)

not exactly because twrp works. If I could flash fastboot images through TWRP I could un-brick it. If somebody could modify the stock rom's updater-script and remove the requirement to be running a stock rom then I could flash that and I would probably be unbricked.

Bootloader can not be flashed through twrp so you'll need to flash the bootloader through fastboot. If your device is not recognized when you plug it in your computer then you're hard bricked, if fastboot is not accessable then you're hard bricked

so you are sure that it is impossible to make a flashable zip of bootloader. Maybe it is just my computer I'll try booting of linux on usb and then see if fastboot can see it.

Do you have the correct driver,, if you use Linux there is no need for the driver just install minimal ADB and fastboot

Have you tried using these albus (Z2 Play) blank flashes as mentioned here to repair your bootloader? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73402033&postcount=181
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73411048&postcount=206
These may hopefully get your device to the point where it's recognised in fastboot and you can then flash the stock ROM via fastboot.

[GUIDE] how to update firmware after UsU/how to root the latest firmware

Disclaimer
I'm am not responsible nor is anyone on xda for you bricking your phone!!
This requires a UsUed device
(I recommend if you have not UsUed your phone yet and you are still on 13b, flash to 2ba before you do the UsU!! it will make life easier for you )
DO NOT FLASH KDZ AFTER YOU UsUed YOUR PHONE!! IT WILL MESS UP YOUR PHONE UP PERMANENTLY!!
Edit: well actually with the vs986 model, you could flash the kdz and re UsU'ed it, but it's still risky and I don't recommend it!
(when salt v4 comes out it will give a flash option for UsUed devices)
Let's Start!!
If you already have 2ba installed with UsU well lucky you!!:good: you can skip to rooting.
If you did UsU without 2ba or any 6.0 android firmware installed you will need to update the boot stack.
you need fastboot for this ( I recommend using FWUL for this)
This is all done in the terminal.
Download
files
TWRP
magisk
Boot Stack Update
Only required if you did the UsU on a lollipop firmware.
For better info about how to do a boot stack update look at FAQ #20
This is where "I'm not responsible" part comes in!! if you mess this up it will HARD BRICK it!!
If you are afraid that you will mess this up you could wait for salt v4 to come out. (it will let you flash kdz with UsU!!)
Download everything in the boot stack folder and go to the downloads folder and run these commands in terminal.
Code:
fastboot flash factory factory.image
fastboot flash hyp hyp.bin
fastboot flash modem modem.bin
fastboot flash pmic pmic.bin
fastboot flash rpm rpm.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.bin
fastboot flash sdi sdi.bin
fastboot flash sec sec.bin
fastboot flash tz tz.bin
If something failed here do NOT reboot!!
Ask for help!
Flashing Firmware
you could just flash this stock firmware.zip but if that did not work for you try this method:
Download everything in the firmware folder and go to the downloads folder and run these commands in terminal.
Code:
fastboot flash system system.image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x.img
(replace twrp-x.x.x to whatever version you download)
Now let's boot TWRP!!
Type
Code:
fastboot reboot
and quickly hold volume down + power.
If it fails just out the battery and try again.
Twrp shud boot up now.
Now tap on wipe and swipe to factory reset(this will only wipe out your apps and app data not files but you shud still backup your files!!)
Now reboot your phone and see if it boots!
Root
You need to flash the magisk.zip for root.
Flash the magisk.zip and Reboot your phone and see if you see magisk manager installed.
If not go to the play store and search for magisk and install it.
that's it!!
If you found this useful give me a:good: and go to the UsU thread and give @steadfasterX a :good: for making this posable!

reserved

reserved 2

Thanks for writing this guide!
It will definitively help others with a VS986 and is much appreciated. I can't do everything alone
One note:
for the bootloader stack update you could ("should" imho) also refer to the FAQ #20 of the UsU thread as it contains the complete commands, several important warnings, describes how to extract a KDZ - if one want to use other bootstack files (SALT), Frankenstein hints etc.
Just a thought ..
Keep up your helpful work :highfive:

Setup a LG G4
Hello, I have a LG G4 That is setup for Verizon. Is there a way to redo the phone to use any service? Also, can the sim card be used for other services or will I need to get a new sim card? I plan on using a pay as you go service such as Tracfone.
Thanks

No, I really don't think you're right here, the only question asked was "can I unlock my 7t from T-mobile"
My question is "it's unlocked, can I use the tools for the non-T-mobile version."
While both questions mention "unlocking" and "T-mobile" they are different questions.

You need to unlock your bootloader with OnePlus. Takes 1 week after submitting.

That's still not answering the question. Ok, apparently takes 1 week to unlock the boot loader. Is it as simple as using the tool to flash international firmware? Does he need to do anything else?
Wow horrible reading comprehension around here.

After unlocking sim and bootloader, you're going to download the latest global ota from OnePlus site or here on xda (I don't think latest is up on op site yet). Then unzip ota. Then dump the payload.bin file. It'll give you boot.img, vendor.img, system.img, etc.
Now flash every file by fastboot flash file.img on both slots
Example:
Fastboot flash dtbo_a dtbo.img
Fastboot flash dtbo_b dtbo.img
Do this with every file in bootloader mode except for system, vendor, product, and tz.img.
Now fastboot reboot fastboot
You'll be in a fastbootd mode now with language selection. Do not select anything.
Now enter fastboot commands for the remaining files in slots a and b
Example:
Fastboot flash system_a system.img
Fastboot flash system_b system.img
Fastboot flash product_a product.img
Etc.. with system, product, and vendor imgs. Do not flash tz.img at all.
Now fastboot -w to wipe data
Fastboot reboot. Done.
Well not actually.. after you boot, go to settings>system>system update. Do a local update (top right drop-down) and update with the latest ota zip you already have. Now update with that and you'll reboot and be good.
If you don't flash the ota zip through system update, you won't have data..

Moto g6 forge (XT1922-9) bricked

okay so i am pretty new still to flashing firmwares and using fastboot in general. I have the cricket version of the moto g6 play (forge) and noticed that i could not unlock the bootloader through moto's website . i noticed that the model number for the cricket version of the xt1922-9 was the same as the retail version from motorola . which on the website says has the ability to unlock . so i tried to flash the stock retail firmware for the retail and the most update verision being android pie XT1922-9_JETER_RETUS_9.0_PPPS29.118-68-3_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip and ended up flashing everything succesfully other than the boot.img and all of the system.img files and when i try and reboot the phone to recovery it says failed to pass validation back to fastboot . and the baseband section in fastboot now says not found . can someone help me with how i can flash all the correct files so i can get the phone just to boot up again.

You flashed everything except the boot.img and the system.img files?? That means you mixed up two FWs on one device...
Try flashing this FW for jeter_cricket from mirrors.lolinet.com

Sorry it takes me so long to reply . Most of my tinkering time is eaten up with my other phone I have that just so happens to be the only model variant that can't unlock its boot loader hence no root or twrp ... :/
But anyway yeah I'm gonna try the tool and paste those lines of fast boot code for you. One sec.
