[SOLVED] Soft bricked (looking like Hard Brick)Moto G7 Play [XT1952-2] - Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers

I have figured out how to solve this! My phone came back when i blankflashed it and ran script Blank-Flash through https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ find your code name, the MotoG7 Play is called Channel, and go to Blankflash, after that install your BF of choice. install all the qualcomm drivers, i have done so through here. then after that, type fastboot oem blankflash and your device will turn off (its okay).
After that, load in the firehose in the Blank flash folder. Load up the script and hopefully itll return back to normal!
ORIGINAL POST:
My MotoG7 Play was Soft Bricked yesterday (12/05/2021). I tried to install Sakura Project ROM via TWRP(latest version) , and i factory reset my phone, and cleared partition A/B. when i rebooted back to recovery i was greeted with an unpleasant Bootload screen, i shrugged it off thinking i just clicked the wrong button but when i tried to got back to recovery i received the following error:
Start up failed: Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Software Repair Assistant on computer to repair your device. Connect your device to your computer to get the Software Repair Assistant. you can try to press powerkey in failure interface to fix it. If you try to fix it, pleas try it at least 6 times.

after this i was startled. so it proceeded below in the logs:

going back, i couldnt help but notice my Product/Variant which included XT1952-2 has now turned into "channel radio1 32GB PVTB", i didnt have a Baseband. and my bootloader was now locked(which wasnt before)! oem_locked.
i tried booting up a new Firmware Stock, latest version of my retailer and it gave errors, which i expected because Product/Variant was erased
i also tried using the Motorola SRA and they couldnt recognize my firmware, not surprised.
also note to mention that my device is in fact being recognized via fastboot as its serial number, i do not know if thats a good thing but its not as its name Moto G7, so when i do:

people for those who still don't understand is the following
1. download the blankflash folder
2.install the motorola drivers
3.download the adb+fastboot folder that you find it when you go to unlock the device's bootloader for the 1 time
4.pass the contents of adb+fastboot folder to blankflash folder
5.download the firehose file
6.open cmd inside the blankflash folder
7.type inside the fastboot cmd oem blankflash
8.pass the firehose file into the blankflash folder
9.execute the .bat file blank-flash.bat and that's it

How to unlock XT 1799-2 Montana if official Moto unlock key does not work? Help!

Hey guys,
So I bough the latest G5S version, the Green Pomelo aka XT 1799-2. It's a wonderful phone for the price, but I am stuck with stock ROM and locked features such as camera2.api. Decided to root and followed this guide to the letter https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g5s/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-moto-g5s-t3691200 , but hit a block. When I obtained the phone, my boot loader was already indicating following warning:
"Your device failed verification and may not work properly". I assumed it was already flashed by reseller. Neverthless, I tried to unlock the bootloader using official Motorola key anyway just to receive following:
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem unlock EG2Q6NB37LSZ2RHIX6KZ
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
...
(bootloader) invalid boot state
I assume they locked the bootloader again, but due that I am hopeless now. I contacted their technical support, but they can only offer either full refund or replacement, which will leave me a month without a phone. Thus I am turning on you guys. Is there a way to unlock the bootloader somehow anyway? And if, could you state how?

Can you guide through the persist process?
Also, every time I flash the bootloadeer it gives me a bad image error.
Then you're flashing the wrong bootloader
In twrp hit the mount button, you should see persist listed.
Check the box, that should mount it.
And are you flashing the boot image or the bootloader? What's your model, and what firmware are you flashing?
Wait, it's not reading the iccid through fastboot. Check the Sim tray. Even without service it should still see it in fastboot

Flash the same firmware your were last on for the aljeter, or one that's later. Your bootloader says this is your firmware. It also says your carrier is Brazil. So, if that first one doesn't work then try this one. If the firmware you flashed was too old the sim card won't be read properly. I've been through this before.

Bad key is normal, it'll say that even if the firmware is correct. That just happens because the bootloader is unlocked. The flash errors you encountered are also normal. It just means the bootloader and gpt.bin you're flashing are older than your current one. That's not a problem. You can just skips those. If everything on your phone is working correctly, then you don't need to try any other firmware.
You don't need to relock your bootloader to do anything, or take an OTA update. Why are you trying to?
Edit: You can hide the bad key message by flashing any of my boot logos in twrp. All of them will hide it except the original one. There's also a couple a few posts down. If you plan on taking an OTA, don't do this until after taking the update. Otherwise the ota will fail since you've modified the stock firmware.

1. Did you follow all the commands in the flash file of the firmware, such as wipe modemst1, cache, userdata?
2. Can you navigate to settings > Network & Internet > mobile network > Preferred Network Type? If so are there any options.
3. Can you also send me screen shot? I just need to see the status bar. It helps if I can see what you see.
Where are you from my guy? are you from USA or Brazil? And where did you buy your phone.
---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------
Your sku says xt1922-5 that means you more than likely have retbr. Here is your stock firmware. https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/aljeter/official/RETBR/ just follow my guide and reflash and you should be good. If you don't remember what firmware you were on before just flash the most recent Oreo firmware if you want to be on Oreo. if it says anything like security downgrade then start from the first 9.0 firmware until one works with Mobile data working.
---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------
Also to just avoid the security downgrade stuff please DO NOT use these following adb commands while flashing the firmwares. it will be easier for us sort of
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
Remember DO NOT not use these while flashing lol

MOTO G8 PLAY bricked/dead

Hello,
i need help trying to revive this motog8 play, i can do everything with the old models, but at the first time i tried to root those A/B systems, i bricked it and i think its ded.

The server looks pretty empty, if no one can help i think its going to the thrash, cuz the techs here in my city doesnt flash devices, just change screens haha :')
Start Up Failed:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
No Bootable A/B Solt

I want to follow this close. This is 2nd or 3rd thread I have seen this failed to boot problem. It makes me second guess my choice to purchase one of these devices.
I have wondered if this phone, being Mtk soc, opens possibly to use sp flash tool for flashing and repair. This would be my first Moto device, but definitely not first Mtk. I am familiar and comfortable with sp flash tool. .

So, based on what has been told. And the information in your post here. You need to use the boot.img from this firmware.

Carefully, I have no experience with Moto. All I can say is from other device experience.
Based on the guide you quoted as followed. You downloaded firmware. Extracted the boot.img, patched that boot.img. then flashed it to slot_a and slot_b.
Then you had boot loop.
Was the firmware you downloaded the correct one that matches getvar output.(from before , not now). The firmware I linked matches getvar output from now.
And back to the question, yes try to just flash the boot.img from linked firmware to both boot_a and boot_b. Just like from the root guide, but with the stock images.

XT1952-1 boot.img issues

Hi!
I'm new here, and some threads have been helpful already. However, I wonder if trying other different approaches might make the issue more complicated than it needs to be. Also, this isn't urgent, and I'd rather do it right than fudge around more than I already have..
I'm currently stuck with a "bad key" in the top left corner when booting the phone. I can still boot into bootloader and fastboot detects the device. I've tried overwriting the boot.img with a variety of variants, hoping it would work out, but alas it has not. I can boot into TWRP (phone wouldn't accept TWRP install from the start, but that's okay) but when I attempt to flash a LOS zip via sideload, it returns some errors.
I had originally installed a LOS + MicroG variant, which was working great, and then wanted to lock the bootloader. Well, and here I am..
From what I can tell, I shouldn't have to blankflash just yet. However, I'm not quite sure what the easiest path out of this pickle is. Thoughts?
Edit: I should add LMSA returns an issue when attempting to download software for the device. I tried setting it to a different XT variant, and it correctly recognizes the device, but then returns an "improper settings" message, if I remember right.
This is what getvar returns:

Hi!
I'm new here, and some threads have been helpful already. However, I wonder if trying other different approaches might make the issue more complicated than it needs to be. Also, this isn't urgent, and I'd rather do it right than fudge around more than I already have..
I'm currently stuck with a "bad key" in the top left corner when booting the phone. I can still boot into bootloader and fastboot detects the device. I've tried overwriting the boot.img with a variety of variants, hoping it would work out, but alas it has not. I can boot into TWRP (phone wouldn't accept TWRP install from the start, but that's okay) but when I attempt to flash a LOS zip via sideload, it returns some errors.
I had originally installed a LOS + MicroG variant, which was working great, and then wanted to lock the bootloader. Well, and here I am..
From what I can tell, I shouldn't have to blankflash just yet. However, I'm not quite sure what the easiest path out of this pickle is. Thoughts?
Edit: I should add LMSA returns an issue when attempting to download software for the device. I tried setting it to a different XT variant, and it correctly recognizes the device, but then returns an "improper settings" message, if I remember right.
This is what getvar returns:

This should be your firmware
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/channel/official/TIMIT/
XT1952-1_CHANNEL_TIMIT_9.0_PPY29.105-134_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
There are newer versions like this Android 10
XT1952-1_CHANNEL_TIMIT_10_QPYS30.52-22-8-9_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
I would start with the version you have.
Download the firmware, unzip, find the flash.file.xml, open it with a text editor, copy, and paste into the online flash.file convertor, link in my thread.

Thanks! I'm trying it now.
I do get "(bootlaoder) is-logical:system_a: not found" (or a corresponding similarity) for almost every line. Also, boot.img still returns a "bad key" during flash.
Device reboots, and I get a "bad key," but it reboots into the operating system.
That should allow me to reinstall LOS, or at least I can try and see if it'll do so.

Bad key is pretty common for moto devices with unlocked bootloader, usually just means the boot.img isn't signed the way it expected.
Okay. 18.1 + MicroG running again. I'm also getting the N/A on boot again, as I did last time.
Big thanks for that! I had been plucking the boot.img out of of zips in the expectation that it would eventually work. Didn't realize I needed to flash the whole system.
I found myself in this mess because I wasn't able to properly lock the bootloader. Unless there are specific suggestions on what I should try or do better, I'd just leave it open. It bugs me a little, but it's not a huge issue.

Moto's must be completely stock to Relock the bootloader, and even then it can be tricky.
Okay. What I take away from that is that it's difficult, if not impossible, to re-lock the bootloader of a Motorola loaded with Lineage?

Do not lock a moto device with a custom rom, unless you don't want it to work ever again.

Hello! I'm in a stupor, there's no way to revive my G7 play (XT1952-1)

The bootloader cannot be unlocked with commands, everything returns with errors. If I try to turn on phone, I see a lot of inscriptions on the screen, among them "failed to validate boot image"
If I try unlock bootloader I have

That's all
Try with this tool (make EFS backup if you can because after installing Stock ROM from here, you will lose signal and you will have to flash EFS again)
Rescue and Smart Assistant Tool - Motorola
<h6><span style="color:#FFFFFF"><strong>Our Rescue and Smart Assistant tool</strong><br />can help diagnose and resolve issues on your<br />Motorola phone or Lenovo phone/tablet.</span></h6>
www.motorola.com
Note: even without opening the program, it does install Bootloader/Fastboot neccesary drivers, so you can download official TWRP for Moto G7 Play (Channel) and use the command fastboot boot (recovery name).img, then do an EFS backup on SD Card, or do it on internal storage then put it on your pc when on TWRP
