Unbrick Hard Bricked Moto G (for Android 4.4.4)
Unbrick Hard Bricked Moto G (for Android 4.4.4)
If you hard bricked after the 4.4.4 upgrade and your device looks dead and it's only recognized by pc as "qhsusb_bulk" this is the right place for you. This procedure has been tested with Win7 on Moto G XT1032 and should be fine for every model.
You will need:
- Riff BOX JTAG drivers + Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider
- Motorola qboot utility v2.4
- Motorola USB drivers
- Motorola Fastboot
- An official Motorola Moto G firmware (4.4.4)
- First of all you will need to extract Riff BOX drivers in a folder (you will find both 32bit and 64bit versions).
- Open dseo13b.exe and choose "Sign a System File",
- Follow the program instructions and there you go, the program will ask you to reboot.
- While you reboot press F8 many times until you get a menu, choose "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement",
- now click on Windows Start button and write "devmgmt.msc" without quotes, you will get the Device Manager window.
- Go on "qhsusb_bulk" (if not shown unplug and plug again your Moto G or long press the power button)
- then choose "Update Driver Software", choose the manually way and put the path of your previously extracted and signed drivers.
- Your Moto G is now recognized as "Qualcomm HS-USB QLoader 9008" under Ports (COM & LPT). Now extract the Motorola qboot utility and run the blank-flash.bat, your Moto G should be able to enter in fastboot mode!
- Now your device shows "Status Code :0", to get the correct status just flash a gpt.bin and a motoboot.img from a random 4.4.4 Moto G firmware.
- It's done, now you can flash the firmware you like more... as always!

MORE TOOLS:
- Device Info Tool: Just a shortcut for the "getvar all" command, it shows all the info of your device
- Bootloader Refresh Tool: You could need this if you think your bootloader needs to be upgraded or refreshed to the version 41.13, which is the latest. (OUTDATED)
- Bootloader Bricker Tool: If the previous tool had no effect or you think your bootloader is seriously damaged, this script will make your phone recognized as "qhsusb_bulk" so you can perform a blank flash
The bricker should be used very carefully and only on Android 4.4.4 with 41.13 bootloader. DO NOT use it on higher versions, unless you wanna kill your phone definitively.
