What if my PC dosnt recognise the device as ADB how to fix this?

I had the same issue as you and thought I was screwed. I redownloaded the 3.1 file., reflashed it and the bootloader file right after then did the data wipe and rebooted.
If you hold the power button + the volume up button it'll reboot the xoom. Count to three after u see the Motorola logo and press the volume down key. After that u should see the words recovery on the upper left of the screen. Press the volume up button to select it and it should take u straight to recovery.

Try holding up volume and power to restart, then on restart about 5 seconds after you see the "M" logo try hitting the up volume button and see if it drops you into recovery.

It says Starting Fastboot Protocol Support and stops there.
Problem solved...
If I let it boot normally (not fastboot), it will eventually accept "adb remount" and "adb reboot recovery", allowing me to do the last step I needed (wipe data/factory reset).
Thank you anyway.

1ยบ of all. Can you plug your RAZR to your PC and use it as mass storage?
If you can, download this ROM then copy the rom to your SD and flash it.
no
i just flashed something from fastboot
waiting for results
Try a full reset
Turn the phone
Press the buttons Vol + and Vol - simultaneously press and hold on/off key.
In the boot menu press Vol - to select the Recovery option
Press both volume buttons to confirm
If done correctly you should see a screen with the Motorola logo and an image of an android and an exclamation
Press both volume buttons, with this other menu should appear
Select the option to wipe data / factory reset
Press the volume button to confirm
In the next menu select Yes and confirm again with the power button.
Wait for the full reset is performed, select Reboot and confirm with button.

[Q] HTC Wildfire S keeps restarting

I upgraded my ROM from 1.3x to 2.1x using goldcard. After i ran the RUU, it said that the phone update went successful and now the phone just keeps turning on and off without even letting me go to hboot. Please help??
if u have nandroid back up just try to restore, if u dont re flash your rom just make sure that you wipe sytem, wipe cache and try to restore factory settings on the recovery menu just to make sure.
how can i wipe the cache and files, my phone does not even start up the hboot, pc could not even detect my phone. please help.
access recovery menu by pressing volume up + home button + power on at the same time hold it until your phone boots up, then release power button when the phone power up but keep pressing volume up + home button until it reaches recovery menu if it still doesn't work tell me we still have ways for that.

Just confused, pressing "home button" included? also afaik its volume down+Power button.
Also, is recovery menu available even if you havent install CWM? i know its needs debugging to install CWM.

sorry "tol" kinda sleepy when i posted this, your right its volume down+Power, if the phone is already rooted there is a recovery menu already but not CWM, but you can install CWM using ODIN just find a CWM tar.md5 file so you can install this using odin.
its not working. i cannot get to recovery by pressing volume key + power key. any other way to do that?
Maybe your phone already bricked. Jtag will help you to resurrect your phone.

Okay so after doing a couple days research and listening to you guys, I found out when I rooted I didn't flash a recovery... So yeah I installed CWM recovery and then wiped cashe partision and it worked. When I wiped it, it came up saying to "fix root" as I may have lost in then I clicked yes then booted straight away. That's it fixed now.
Thank you for your help everyone!

When the phone is rebooting, press and hold power down, you'll then get into Fastboot. From there, go to Recovery using the volume down key and when selected, press the volume up to select. If it tries to install the update again, don't let it reboot into the ROM - when the recovery restarts itself, make sure you hold volume down again.

It doesn't work it just keeps rebooting and coming up with the "bootloader unlocked" screen after itself
1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL UP + VOL DOWN KEY together + POWER KEY .
2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS
3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to SELECT
Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.
4. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)
5. Press and hold the VOL DOWN key, then tap and release the VOL UP key.
Tip: You can try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 5, try a force reboot by pressing the power Key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.
6. The device will display additional menu options (Text will appear in BLUE)
7. Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to wipe cache partition and the POWER Key to SELECT this option.
8. The device will then perform the partition wipe
9. Once the Formatting is complete, press the POWER key to confirm a REBOOT
11. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence .

Still none the wiser how to update to 4.4.4 though! I mean surely with a rooted phone there is an app to do it these days???
u can try this
if you have unlock bootloader and can go to fastboot mode,.try to flash your moto g using your 4.4.2 stock rom by manually (you can search how to do it),.flash partition gpt and motoboot (ignore the error),reboot bootloader and finished the rest command..flash phil touch recovery and reboot ro recovery,go to install zip,choose install zip from sideload then send your phone update using sideload command.
that"s solved my problems when i'm getting stuck on blank screen after unlock bootloader warning or only booting to recovery,i'm on 4.4.2 when get that error.
but now in my case,i should go to fastboot mode and choose normal powerup to make my phone booting normally,.because if i'm power on using power button,moto g booting to recovery,not a big deal for me as long as my phone back to the track hehehe
my moto g is o2 germany,but i'm flashing with 4.4.2 germany retail and 4.4.4 update for germany retail.

Okay so I get to step 3 and it reboots. It shows the "bootlocker unlocked" then it shows it again then goes onto the normal Moto G boot screen with the logo and is still bootlocked.. HALP

that's mean you can't access your stock recovery...try to flash your stock rom moto g 4.4.2 then install philz,use sideload to install the update file.

Manually flashed 6.0 stock images, but only get dead android for recovery

I have searched around but cannot find a solution. I can't seem to get a working recovery after flashing stock images with and without TWRP 2.8.7.1.
I followed these steps to upgrade to Android 6.0 after verifying the md5 checksum of my download:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead....img [it looks the same as before, but I did it anyway]
reboot bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead....img
reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
....I have also tried with and without flashing cache
fastboot reboot
...then I go back into the bootloader and try to access recovery, but I only get the dead android with the red triangle.
Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a suggestion for a fix?
I'm having the same problem with my Nexus 7 (2013).
Hold down the Power button and press Volume Up.

When I see the dead android? When the phone is off? When the phone is booted into the system?
The dead Android means you have stock recovery installed. When you see the dead Android, hold down the power button and push the volume up then release and you will receive the stock recovery menu

Thanks for the description, but it didn't work. If I hold those buttons long enough, it just loops on the "Google" screen, and if I let go, it boots into the system.
After flashing other times, I have been able to either get the recovery menu or enter TWRP when I choose Recovery from the bootloader menu. Not this time though.
Well, I re-extracted the recovery.img file and flashed it - same problem. I decided to try flashing TWRP again. After flashing I rebooted the bootloader (probably not necessary), then chose Recovery and it booted TWRP like I normally expect.
Still not sure what is happening with the stock recovery. For now I don't have to worry - I'm getting my backup.
Sometimes it doesn't work right away, I keep switching between the volume buttons and it eventually pops up. Only need to tap the volume key, no need to hold it when at the dead Android.
Good luck

Getting into stock recovery from the dead android can be very tricky. As stated above, from the dead android screen, you want to hold the Power Button and press Volume Up quickly, then release. It sounds like you are holding the Power Button way too long which is causing it to do a reboot. I had the same issue the first few times.
Below is a video of someone doing it. On the video, he says to press volume up, volume down, and the power button at the same time until the recovery menu works. But, it is just the power button and volume up. The video will just show you how quickly to press the button combination.

I don't recall having any difficulty in the past, but I think I get it now. Thanks for the tips guys.
