hi this phone was rooted on 25th sept(after many months of launch).i request the devs here someone to please develop an custom rom for the mobile or just mod the current one.
How to root?
By this time, many users may get rooted but there is no tutorial for that in androidforums so posting here.
Plus, I have modded original boot.img of A52 myself and added init.d support plus support for initializing ext2,3,4 modules on boot.
DOWNLOADS:
1) Unsecured boot.img (zip contains unsecured boot.img + A52 scatter file)
http://www.mediafire.com/?h9ubm9dhq9n7jjd
2) SP.FlashTool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1353992&d=1348592592
3) Drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1353943&d=1348591411
4) UnlockRoot
http://www.unlockroot.com/
Note: Usemastermind1024 as password to download above files.
Advantages of my boot.img:
I have added init.d support plus ext2.ko,ext3.ko & ext4.ko modules initialization on boot.Just place this ko files in /system/lib/modules/ after rooting the device, u will be able to use Link2SD with ext2,3 or 4 filesystems on your 2nd sdcard partition.
Press thanks if helped
Reference for flashing: MT65x3 flashing tutorial
Read the above tutorial first so u get idea how to flash an img file using SP FlashTool.
STEPS TO FLASH BOOT.IMG:
1) First install the drivers you downloaded & then run SPFlashTool, preferably as administrator (not mandatory)
2) Select USB mode under Options
3) Click Scatter-loading & select scatter file you downloaded from above links.
4) It will automatically load boot.img if it's in the same folder with scatter file otherwise click BOOTIMG & select the downloaded unsecured boot.img
5) Turn off the device fully, remove the battery for 5 seconds to be sure n re-insert the battery but do not power on device.
6) Attach the usb cable with PC but not with device
7) Now click on "Download" button on SPFlashTool, it will show searching for device in lower panel.
8) At this time, attach the cable with device in power off state
9) Now as soon as u attach the cable to device in power off state it will show a progress bar in lower panel n then a dialogue which states successfully flashed n another dialogue showing green colored ring n stating Download OK.
12) Close the dialogues, close the program n reboot the device by pressing power key.
STEPS TO ROOT DEVICE:
1. Power on device.
2. Enable USB Debugging.
- Settings > Application tab > Applications > Development > USB Debugging
3. Install UnlockRoot in pc
4. Attach device using usb cable in debugging mode(u just enabled it in step-2) to pc.
5. Now Run UnlockRoot program and click Root button
6. Confirm online device Micromax A52 in the list which pop-up.
7. Let in finish the procedure and Restart device when is asks.
8. See new Superuser app in app drawer
9. Viola...!!! Your A52 is now rooted.
UnlockRoot does not install Busybox on device so after u rooted the device install busybox to work with many root apps.Search Play Store for Busybox Installer by Jrummy OR BusyBox free by Stericson...
DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, . Please do some research if you have any concerns before flashing! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device

DOWNLOAD THE SKIPSOFT UNIFIED ANDROID TOOLKIT *HERE* (FROM SKIPSOFT.NET)
NOTE: Key files are signed with a Digital Certificate from skipsoft.net but some ‘may’ get picked up as potentially harmful by Antivirus Programs and deleted. They are not harmful, this is a false positive given because of the compiler used. If this happens restore the file and exclude the folder from future scans to use it. This seems to happen mostly on AVG Free and Norton. If you are using the Auto Update feature on pro versions then you will need to disable the AV program or exclude the folder from scans before running the update again.

--------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC (FREE) AND PROFESSIONAL (DONATE) VERSIONS?
THE PUBLIC VERSION OF THE TOOLKIT INCLUDES EVERYTHING YOU COULD NEED TO MANIPULATE AND ROOT YOUR DEVICE.
ACTIVATING THE PROFESSIONAL VERSION ADDS THE MOST USEFUL FUNCTION IN THE TOOLKIT, THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR ‘AUTO UPDATES’ DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT AND HAVE THEM PUSHED TO YOUR PC RIGHT AWAY AS SOON AS THEY ARE UPLOADED WITHOUT NEEDING TO DOWNLOAD THE WHOLE TOOLKIT EVERY TIME. YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE LATEST VERSION AS SOON AS IT IS MADE AVAILABLE. THIS MEANS SMALLER UPDATES CAN BE SENT OUT MORE FREQUENTLY, SUCH AS ADDING A SINGLE FUNCTION, FIXING A BUG OR ADDING COMPATIBILITY FOR A SINGLE CARRIER. THE SMALLER UPDATES WILL BE COMPILED AND RELEASED TO THE XDA COMMUNITY AS A FULL (PUBLIC) DOWNLOAD VERSION SO PROFESSIONAL VERSIONS ARE ALWAYS UPDATED SOONER.
THE PRO VERSION ALSO ADDS THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR THE LATEST VERSION OF SUPERUSER AND RECOVERY FILES AND DOWNLOAD THEM DIRECTLY TO THE TOOLKIT.
THE ‘QUICK PICKS’ SECTION[/B] ALLOWS YOU TO PROGRAM UPTO 10 SLOTS WITH TASKS THAT YOU MAY PERFORM ON A REGULAR BASIS OR JUST WANT TO KEEP A SET OF TASKS IN 1 PLACE. THEN JUST SELECT THE SLOT AND IT WILL REMEMBER ALL YOUR SETTINGS FOR THAT TASK AND RUN IT.
PRO USERS CAN ALSO SELECT THE “ANY BUILD” OPTION IN THE BUILD SELECTION SCREEN TO ROOT ANY BUILD AS LONG AS THE VERSION IS SUPPORTED (USEFUL IF YOUR BUILD IS NOT LISTED).
MORE IMPORTANTLY DONATING SHOWS YOUR APPRECIATION AND ALLOWS THE TOOLKIT TO CONTINUE TO EVOLVE AND GROW.
AUTO REPLY LINKS FOR PAYPAL TO GET A CODE INSTANTLY CAN BE FOUND AT http://goo.gl/nyGqv
--------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE READ THE *HELP* PAGE AT http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=1269 OR USE THE INFORMATION SECTION WITHIN THE TOOLKIT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF TIME TO WRITE IT AND SOMETHING ON THERE SHOULD ANSWER 99% OF PROBLEMS.
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. INSTALLING ADB/FASTBOOT DRIVERS
The first thing you need to do is to install the adb/fastboot drivers. These are needed so that you can unlock your bootloader, root your device and perform other adb/fastboot functions.
THE DRIVERS CAN BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT. OPTION 1 IN THE MAIN MENU.
If drivers are not installed or there is an exclamation mark next to the device:
Plug the device in to a usb cable directly connected to your motherboard.
In the Device Manager a new item, usually called Android 1.0 should pop up in the list.
Right click on the device item then left click on Update Driver Software. Select 'browse my computer' and then 'Let me pick from a list'.
If no adb interface driver appears in the list then untick 'Show compatible hardware' and find the Android or Samsung adb interface driver.
If you cannot find either of these click Have Disk, browse to the Toolkit install folder, drivers folder, click on android_winusb.inf and click Open.
Click OK and select Google ADB Interface.
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled in settings, developer options. In Android 4.2.2 or later you have to enable the developer options screen by going to settings, About on your device and click on Build number at the bottom 7 times until it says You are now a developer. If you have already enabled usb debugging then unplug/replug the usb cable.
On Android 4.2.2 or later when you replug the usb cable after enabling usb debugging for the first time you will get a popup asking you to authenticate your pc. Tick 'Always allow' then click 'ok'.
--------------------------------------------------------------
2. USING SKIPSOFT UNIFIED ANDROID TOOLKIT
When starting the Toolkit you will first be asked which device you want to work with. Working folders will be created and the device files downloaded. You will then be taken to the Model/Build selection screen where you can do a number of things (other than select your model/build): Type '00' to enter your activation code and enable pro features, 'i' will take you to the Information and Help Section, 'a' will give you information on how to add support for a new build.
Supported builds are listed in the Model/Build selection screen and typing the associated number (i.e. 11) will download needed boot and recovery files (stock and custom recovery) then check for and download the latest superuser files available and custom recovery (pro versions only), verify all the files and start the Main Menu. You can now use all the functions and tools the Android Toolkit offers. Pro users can select the "any build" option to root any build (useful if your build is not listed).
--------------------------------------------------------------
USEFUL INFORMATION
How to get into Recovery Mode
1. Unplug the USB cable.
2. Shut down the phone.
3. Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME UP' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 5 seconds to enter Recovery Mode.
How to get into Download Mode (For Odin)
1. Unplug the USB cable.
2. Shut down the phone.
3. Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME DOWN' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 2 seconds until a WARNING! Screen appears. Press the 'VOLUME UP' button to enter Download Mode.

*DISCLAIMER*
I take no responsibility for any fault or damage caused by any procedures within this guide. No warranties of any kind are given.
**Updates**
**FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS**
Q. What is ADB Shell?
Adb shell is a linux command line tool (because android is based on linux) used to
send commands to your android device. For S-ON devices, this is crucial for
modifying files in the /system partition (where the rom sits) as you cannot modify
anything in /system when the rom is running without S-OFF like removing system apps.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I flashed Custom Recovery but each time I reboot the Stock Recovery is back
There is an auto recovery restore system on certain Stock Android Builds that will
reflash the Stock Recovery if you flash CWM on a Stock Rom.
Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from Google
Play such as ES File Explorer). Rename the files /system/recovery-from-boot.p and
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh (requires root). Now when you flash Custom Recovery
it will NOT be overwritten after a reboot. You can also do this via the Toolkit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. My AntiVirus program says the Toolkit files may be harmful
The exe compiled files are not digitally signed with a Microsoft certificate (as
they cost money) so certain AntiVirus programs (mainly Norton and AVG Free) may
pick it up as potentially harmful when it is not. They will pick up ANY file that
doesn't contain a purchased Microsoft certificate in the same way. Just Restore the
deleted file and exclude it from further scans and it will be fine. Or switch to a
better AntiVirus program such as BitDefender.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. What is the difference between Nandroid and Titanium backup?
A NANDROID will backup the whole system including boot, system, data and recovery
partitions so you can restore a complete rom and all data and settings.
Titanium Backup is mainly used to backup apps and associated user data. These
could be restored AFTER a full wipe and a new Rom had been flashed on your phone.
The other option now which google added into the new adb command list is the adb
backup which is in the ToolKit and can do the same job as Titanium Backup but will
store the data on your PC rather than on the phone (which takes up space).
Q. I cannot find Developer options
With Android 4.2 google have thought it would be funny to hide the Developer options
screen in the Settings. This means you cannot enable usb debugging to communicate
with your device. To show the Developers options screen do the following:
1. Goto Settings, About and tap the Build number text 7 times.
2. When you have tapped 3 times you will be given a countdown of taps until you
become a developer.
3. Once you are told you are now a developer you can go back to the Settings
Screen and can see Developer options.
4. You can now go into Developer options and enable usb debugging.
Q. I am having trouble getting adb working with the drivers installed
Try switching your connection type from media (MTP) mode to camera (P2P) mode.
To do this open the notification area [top left] with the device connected via usb,
click where it says 'connected as' and change from MTP to PTP.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. How to get into your Download Mode
1. Unplug your usb cable if you have one plugged in
2. Keep holding the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons until you see a warning
screen [about 10 seconds]
3. Press the Volume Up button to boot the phone into Download Mode
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. How to get into Recovery
1. Unplug your usb cable if you have one plugged in
2. Keep holding the Volume Up, Home and Power buttons until you see a green android
man on the scree [about 15-20 seconds]
Q. I tried to enter the code for the pro version but it says the code is incorrect
1. Make sure the code entered is for the correct Toolkit being used.
2. You need to start the Toolkit with the toolkit.exe file when activating so the
settings can be initialised or the code will not be accepted.
3. Make sure you enter the code correctly as the characters are case sensitive.
**if needed**
Very well done. Nice work very easy to use.

having an issue with it. on my i9505, it says only cwm options are enabled, it does not allow backing up for EFS or nandroid. plus if i try rooting it by installing twrp, it flashes it through odin, and always boots back to stock recovery. tried all methods to rename stock recovery files through option 7 but no avail. always boots back to stock recovery. any help would be highly appreciated.
This option has been disabled [from the model/build selection screen]

GOOGLE PIXEL 2- SUPPORTS ALL MODELS WITH UNLOCKABLE BOOTLOADER UP TO THE LATEST ANDROID BUILDS.
SEE SUPPORT LIST FOR PUBLIC/PRO VERSIONS *HERE*
NOTE: Verizon models (not sure about ee) have locked the bootloader. In this case you will not be able to toggle the oem unlock setting to unlock the bootloader via the developer screen.
NOTE2: At the moment TWRP is still in alpha testing and lots of things do not work on it such as device decryption, mtp and backup. It's very risky to add this to the toolkit in this state as someone could easily brick their device if they dont know what they are doing so until a more stable version is made custom recovery will not be added.

NOTE: Key files are signed with a Digital Certificate from skipsoft.net but some may get picked up as potentially harmful by Antivirus Programs and deleted. They are not harmful, this is a false positive given because of the compiler used. If this happens restore the file and exclude the folder from future scans to use it. This seems to happen mostly on AVG Free and Norton. If you are using the Auto Update feature on pro versions then you will need to disable the AV program or exclude the folder from scans before running the update again.

--------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC, PROFESSIONAL AND ULTIMATE VERSIONS?
THE PUBLIC VERSION OF THE TOOLKIT INCLUDES EVERYTHING YOU COULD NEED TO MANIPULATE AND ROOT YOUR DEVICE.
ACTIVATING THE PROFESSIONAL VERSION ADDS THE MOST USEFUL FUNCTION IN THE TOOLKIT, THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR AUTO UPDATES DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT AND HAVE THEM PUSHED TO YOUR PC RIGHT AWAY AS SOON AS THEY ARE UPLOADED WITHOUT NEEDING TO DOWNLOAD THE WHOLE TOOLKIT EVERY TIME. YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE LATEST VERSION AS SOON AS IT IS MADE AVAILABLE. THIS MEANS SMALLER UPDATES CAN BE SENT OUT MORE FREQUENTLY, SUCH AS ADDING A SINGLE FUNCTION, FIXING A BUG OR ADDING COMPATIBILITY FOR A SINGLE CARRIER. THE SMALLER UPDATES WILL BE COMPILED AND RELEASED TO THE XDA COMMUNITY AS A FULL (PUBLIC) DOWNLOAD VERSION SO PROFESSIONAL VERSIONS ARE ALWAYS UPDATED SOONER.
THE PRO VERSION ALSO ADDS THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR THE LATEST VERSION OF CUSTOM RECOVERY FILES AND DOWNLOAD THEM DIRECTLY TO THE TOOLKIT.
THE QUICK PICKS SECTION ALLOWS YOU TO PROGRAM UP TO 10 SLOTS WITH TASKS THAT YOU MAY PERFORM ON A REGULAR BASIS OR JUST WANT TO KEEP A SET OF TASKS IN 1 PLACE. THEN JUST SELECT THE SLOT AND IT WILL REMEMBER ALL YOUR SETTINGS FOR THAT TASK AND RUN IT.
PRO USERS CAN ALSO SELECT THE ANY BUILD OPTION IN THE BUILD SELECTION SCREEN TO ROOT ANY BUILD AS LONG AS THE VERSION IS SUPPORTED (USEFUL IF YOUR BUILD IS NOT LISTED).
THE ULTIMATE MODE ALLOWS YOU TO ACTIVATE THE PRO MODE ON EVERY DEVICE MODULE THE TOOLKIT SUPPORTS. NO MORE NEED TO BUY A NEW PRO CODE EVERY TIME YOU BUY A NEW DEVICE. THE ULTIMATE MODE ALSO INCLUDES THE NEW CUSTOM BUILDER MODE WHICH LETS YOU ADD SUPPORT FOR NEW BUILDS EVEN BEFORE THE TOOLKIT CAN ADD IT. CUSTOM BUILDER MODE CAN ALSO ADD SUPPORT FOR SAMSUNG DEVICES THAT HAVEN'T YET BEEN ADDED TO THE TOOLKIT.
MORE IMPORTANTLY DONATING SHOWS YOUR APPRECIATION AND ALLOWS THE TOOLKIT TO CONTINUE TO EVOLVE AND GROW. WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT THE TOOLKIT CANNOT EXIST.
AUTO REPLY LINKS FOR PAYPAL TO GET A CODE INSTANTLY CAN BE FOUND AT http://goo.gl/nyGqv
--------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE READ THE *HELP* PAGE AT http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=1269 OR USE THE INFORMATION SECTION WITHIN THE TOOLKIT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF TIME TO WRITE IT AND SOMETHING ON THERE SHOULD ANSWER 99% OF PROBLEMS.
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. INSTALLING ADB/FASTBOOT DRIVERS
The first thing you need to do is to install the adb/fastboot drivers. These are needed so that you can unlock your bootloader, root your device and perform other adb/fastboot functions.
THE DRIVERS CAN BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT. OPTION 1 IN THE MAIN MENU.
If drivers are not installed or there is an exclamation mark next to the device:
Plug the device in to a usb cable directly connected to your motherboard.
In the Device Manager a new item, usually called Android 1.0 should pop up in the list.
Right click on the device item then left click on Update Driver Software. Select 'browse my computer' and then 'Let me pick from a list'.
If no adb interface driver appears in the list then untick 'Show compatible hardware' and find the Android or Samsung adb interface driver.
If you cannot find either of these click Have Disk, browse to the Toolkit install folder, drivers folder, click on android_winusb.inf and click Open.
Click OK and select Google ADB Interface.
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled in settings, developer options. In Android 4.2.2 or later you have to enable the developer options screen by going to settings, About on your device and click on Build number at the bottom 7 times until it says You are now a developer. If you have already enabled usb debugging then unplug/replug the usb cable.
On Android 4.2.2 or later when you replug the usb cable after enabling usb debugging for the first time you will get a popup asking you to authenticate your pc. Tick 'Always allow' then click 'ok'.
Newer devices also require you to enable OEM Unlocking in the developer section to allow the bootloader to be unlocked. Tap Developer options and enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging. (If OEM unlocking is disabled, connect to the Internet so the device can check in at least once. If it remains disabled, your device may be SIM locked by your carrier and the bootloader cannot be unlocked.)
--------------------------------------------------------------
2. USING SKIPSOFT UNIFIED ANDROID TOOLKIT
When starting the Toolkit you will first be asked which device you want to work with. Working folders will be created and the device files downloaded. You will then be taken to the Model/Build selection screen where you can do a number of things (other than select your model/build): Type '00' to enter your activation code and enable pro features if you have one, 'dr' will allow you to install drivers, 'i' will take you to the Information and Help Section, 'a' will give you information on how to add support for a new build.
Supported builds are listed in the Model/Build selection screen and typing the associated number (i.e. 11) will download needed boot and recovery files (stock and custom recovery) then check for and download the latest superuser files available and custom recovery (pro versions only), verify all the files and start the Main Menu. You can now use all the functions and tools the Android Toolkit offers. Pro users can select the "any build" option to root any build (useful if your build is not listed).
--------------------------------------------------------------
USEFUL INFORMATION

Yes. Your device will be wiped after unlocking the bootloader. TWRP and root shouldn't cause another wipe.

Let me know how rooting goes with the alpha version of TWRP. if it works fine I will look in to adding it (with lots of warnings).

This doesn't seem to root for me using EMR options on my Pixel 2 (non Verizon). SuperSU is installed, but root checker fails. Did the cleanup as well, but no dice unfortunately.
Hey! On this page Google Pixel 2 is unsupported. Where i can download build with support this device?
I'm skeptical about the accuracy of this. Has anyone successfully rooted their Pixel 2 with this tool?
Won't Root my Project Fi 2XL

Nah, it doesn't root my Project Fi 2XL either. It took a couple of tries before it even pushed SuperSU, but even then Root Checker fails.

Trying to flash stock firmware on Pixel 2. Takes about a half hour to download and everything. I end up just getting your device has not been set.

BEWARE THE APP LINKED IN THIS THREAD ALLOW YOU TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM WHICH CAN SERIOUSLY MESS UP YOUR DEVICE, SOME YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER FROM
Credits for this trick goes to those two threads here and here where I found the technique.
As being said by @Thakur here are the steps to reproduce to enable app pinning.
[email protected] said:
Steps to activate/disable Screen pinning:
- Install Settings Database Editor
- Open App and go to "System Table"
- Find or Create a key (it didn't exist in my case, so I created it) with name "lock_to_app_enabled" and set value "1" (ON) or "0" (OFF)
Tested in miui global beta 9.3.21 and works flawlessly.

Despite being last updated in 2018 the app Settings Database Editor by 4A, I can confirm this application works flawlessly on my EEA RN8PRO running MIUI 11.0.2.0 PGGEUXM.
The app being a bit similar to like regedit on Windows, dong go mess up with everything or it might end up with cries and tears.
At this point you already have App Pinning enabled. But only this.
If like for me it was enough, you may want to proceed with the next step which will enable screenlock on unpinning.
Assuming I would find the matching setting for that from a phone running stock android, I grabbed my old non MIUI phone and went to dig for the corresponding setting to lock screen when unpinning.
Turns out we can enable lock on unpinning by just adding an other simple value key in the Secure table.
To be allowed to do so, you first need to grant extra permission to app through adb:
It may not be the case for all devices but for my RN8PRO I needed root (su) to apply the adb command.
Code:
pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Once permission granted, select Secure table in the Settings Database Editor application , and add the following new key:
Code:
lock_in_app_exit_locked 1
All set, you will now be asked to unlock screen once you unpin pinned app by long pressing back.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Now follow me:
i-) Connect your device to your lappy, and download SDK Platform-Tools for Windows.
ii-) Go to where u downloaded platform-tools and unzip it. Open the folder.
iii-) Hold Shift and right-click anywhere in the folder, thee should be an option, namely "Open Powershell Window here" or maybe "Open command prompt window here", Its most likely youll get the second option (Open command prompt here). If u see neither. Then open the folder and click "File" in the top right corner. and youll see open either one of the above options.
iv-) Make sure u have connected your device to your lappy, In powershell or cmd and type
adb devices
v-) u should see your device, now reboot to fastboot mode and then type
fastboot devices
. After u see ur device, download twrp-recovery_moto-g8_moto_g_fast.img (Alternate link here)
vi-) Go to the folder where u downloaded the file, next type:
fastboot flash twrp-recovery_moto-g8_moto_g_fast.img
vii-)boot into recovery by pressing and holding the volume down + power button at the same time(when the phone is powered off, obviously).
viii-) This step is crucial!! Click on Settings / File Manager and navigate where u downloaded the lineage-18.1-moto-g8-moto-g-fast-rav-20210222.zip and move it to "/" also called ROOT folder.
Very Important!
Take a complete backup of the phone because the next steps will LITERALLY delete EVERYTHING in your phone INCLUDING the SYSTEM!!

I bricked my Moto G Fast by trying to flash RetUS firmware without unlocking the bootloader first. Attempts to flash Boost official firmware didn't work.
What did work for me was installing the Lenovo Motorola Rescue and Smart Assistant app on my PC. Even that failed the first couple times I tried it. I think the third or fourth attempt it finally succeeded.

you know what to do when device recognize on pc on usb but don't go anywhere?. My device recognize on pc but when i will run the blank flash to open the fastboot it don't run the fastboot screen and continues black. The process that i trying to do is connect the phone on pc and turn it on by the connectors on the motherboard, after that theoretically i have to put it in fastboot with blankflash and install the rom by the qualcom driver but it stops on the blankflash part. It's like my phone don't have the fastboot anymore.
