On this page, we attempt to provide solutions to all hardbricked Moto Z Force devices. Either your device is stuck in Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 or HS-USB Bulk mode. Has blank screen or the led light just flickers, the Moto Z Force unbrick solutions tabled here should work for you. The idea is to get your Moto Z Force to bootloader mode by utilizing the Moto Z Force EDL and using fastboot commands to flash firmware and recover the device.
For: All Variants
Project Folder:
Blankflash folder would contain the necessary files including the singleimage.img file required, when flashed on the Moto Z Force, will load bootloader and other supporting partitions and kick the device into fastboot mode.
Loader folder would contain the loader.img file. Once flashed on an SD Card, turns the SD Card to a bootable partition that can be mounted by supported devices so that the device can be detected by the PC for further repair.
QFIL folder would contain the necessary .mbn files required to kick your device into the bootloader.

16. Congratulations! You just unbrick your Moto Z Force from HS-USB Bulk, HS-USB QDLoader 9008, QHS-USB DLoad 9008 or whichever Qualcomm brick state it was.
NOTE:
1. If you are using mfastboot, replace fastboot in the commands above with mfastboot.
2. Depending on the firmware you downloaded, you may have less or more fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5 commands to execute in the folder. All you have to do is change the figure accordingly.
Blankflash is a method of injecting dummy bootloader into your Moto Z Force by means of commands through Windows CMD that communicates with your Moto Z Force in the edl, download mode thus; HS-USB DLoader 9008 provided that proper Qualcomm HS-USB Drivers are downloaded and installed on your PC.
This dummy bootloader will help kick your Moto Z Force out of the HS-USB DLoader mode and into bootloader mode and from which fastboot commands can be sent to the device directly through Windows Command Prompt or Linux/Mac Terminal.
Once your Moto Z Force enters bootloader (soft brick), our initial aim is acheived. You may then load any firmware on the device using RSDLite or using the usual commands.
