Boot Loop after attempting to make backup in safestrap - Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Seeing as how the soak tests were about to come out I was booting into recovery to make a safestrap backup of the slot I'm using. After a couple seconds it rebooted and is now in the perpetual bootloop.
What's worse is I can't attempt a HouseofMoto fix because my ADB drivers are no longer working, the device is listed under ADB Interface as - Mot Single ADB Interface but running the adb shell command just brings up "Error: device not found".
I have done the HouseofMoto shpeal around the last OTA soak test so I'm fairly well versed but this has stumped me for the last 2 hours as to why the drivers won't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

That is accessed by power button + vol up at boot?

Vol down and power button momentarily should get you to the boot loader. Once you are at the menu vol down to navigate & vol up to select.

I believe that's fastboot?
And that is the environment I'm in, but every option I select on that menu just bootloops

Don't use the power button to select use the vol up.

Yeah, I am
correct me if I'm wrong but I believe safestrap hijacks the built in recovery environment with its own?

I think you can have stock recovery and ss installed. Only thing is, if you rooted the ultra stock recovery will be gone until you fastboot flash it back.

I did flash a stock recovery with fastboot commands.
now boots into stock recovery menu if I want it to, however I may have made an ass of myself seeing as how I forgot HouseofMoto can be executed (in fact HAS to be) within fastboot. and right now I am tackling the newer 2.0 version and still hitting some snags.
I realize I can probably just reflash the entire system with fastboot commands but right now I am attempting to preserve data.
will update with results

Got the phone booting now into OS after HoM.
ADB refuses to work in the OS, debugging on, drivers correct, multiple computers. I keep getting an error when trying to use ADB commands

so does the phone recognize it is being is being connected in debugging mode or just as a media device?
I'd try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and trying a different usb cable.

Both, and I have had minimal luck with ADB since then.
I believe most of my problems are related to using MotoWpNomo and PwnMyMoto/Rockmymoto, which are not so compatible with one another. Also didn't know that MotoWpNomo is permanent and survives a HoM restore.

Try opening device manager and uninstalling the ADB device that looks like your phone then reinstall the drivers. I have a feeling some other similar driver is blocking your phone when it had adb debugging turned on.
also try this program USB deview downloaded mfrom here: http://www.nirsoft.net/

Access ADB without Debug mode?

Is there a way I can use ADB without setting debug mode on my phone? I am unable to startup the phone to switch to debug mode. When I start up the phone it goes to the google logo screen and stops there.
I am able to go into fastboot mode however. I have adb installed and all the drivers set.
I can see the phone in my device manager, but when I open up cmd prompt and type in adb devices it says it does not see anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
ADB is only for when the phone is booted up. In your case you will need to work with fastboot

What are you trying to use ADB to do? You can run ADB in recovery, but if you are unable to startup the phone, I don't know anything you could do with ADB to fix it.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so, flash a new recovery image and do a nandroid backup
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
If recovery doesn't work u have 2 options from fastboot to try to get into recovery:
1) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
2) fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
All u need is a cwr recovery image. And the files on ur PC to use fastboot.
1) flashes a new recovery
2) just boots up the new recovery without flashing it

my understanding is that i need the have the device visible in command prompt via adb to do any of this which is the issue i'm trying to solve. once i can get my computer to see the phone via adb i think i'm home free to extract all the data i need.

Another interesting note (i don't know if this will help me at all) is that if I boot up into download mode (holding both vol buttons when plugging in the usb cord) it gets stuck at the "unlock bootloader?" screen but in windows under the device manager instead of showing it as an android device with adb it is now under the usb controllers as "samsung usb composite device".
If I could get this thing to mount to my computer that would be fantastic and I could just drag and drop files out of the phone.
Any ideas?
If you flash clockwork recovery, you can boot into recovery and then use cwm to mount USB storage.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
If I flash clockwork I need to unlock the bootloader, if I unlock the bootloader I have to wipe all my data.
So by nature of getting clockwork on the phone is useless to me since i'll have no data to backup by that stage =/
I do have access to fastboot now and is recognized via command prompt; is there a way to extract data via fastboot?

I can not get into recovery mode.
What is happening is a loop. I get booted into the fastboot mode and when i click on recovery, the screen goes black and then right back to fastboot mode.
I read all the related posts, and nothing helped. I downloaded Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2 and tried to use it as well but it didn't fix my issue. i took a screen shot of the message from NRT. When i get that message, the phone is just sitting at the fastboot menu.

First off, download the attached zip.Extract the zip to your desktop. Open up command prompt and navigate to the folder where you extracted the files. Now connect your phone to your computer and boot into fastboot. In command prompt, type in
fastboot devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It should list your phone.
Then type in
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Click to expand...

Now you can boot to recovery on your phone. Download a ROM you like and flash it from the recovery. Make sure to wipe data/cache before flashing the ROM though.
Lemme know if it works.
try another computer to install recovery back or just rom manager by wi-fi.

Quick question, do i need to do anything special to get into fastboot? other than power button + volume up? The first line on the screen says FASTBOOT MODE. Nothing happens when i type in that command. it goes to the next line but nothing shows up.
any idea why my computer can't see the phone in that line? i probably missing a step.

So I finally figured it out. I do apologize for how vague and un informative the question was. It was a case of me needing to dig a little more.
Here is what i did.
I had installed a Rom Manager, CyonGenMod when i rooted the phone. They had a recovery img in the app which i used. I think googled around for cyogenmod 10 and ICS 4.0.4. Then i realized i had to find google apps, so i could add my contacts from gmail. Then it was just messing around with bootloader to get the right setup.
I do appreciate the help, y'all put me on the right path. Made me find answers to the right questions. Again I apologize for not doing more due diligence.
Thanks for the help

[FIX][BOOTLOGO]Remove unlocked bootloader warning v1.1

Note: Your warranty is now void. I am no way liable for any issues with this. I have ran it on my phone with no issues. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. The .bat file is included for convince and I have not tested it and I am on Linux. Please respond if you test this and it works or does not work.
Usage: To remove the bootloader unlock warning on the Droid Turbo XT1254. You must have the USB drivers and the android sdk installed properly.
-Moto drivers: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
-How to install Android SDK: http://www.androidcentral.com/installing-android-sdk-windows-mac-and-linux-tutorial
Command:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash logo logofixed.bin
fastboot reboot
Or..
Windows: Run the .bat file
Linux: run the .sh file as SU
Let me know if you find any issues. I am not a developer...more of a script kiddie as jcase would say.
Change 1.1
added linux .sh script.

What do you mean by hangs in the bootloader? Like the bootloader never comes up, or is frozen? When the bootloader comes up it should say "Device is UNLOCKED. Status code 3" and "Transfer Mode: USB Connected".
Also while in fastboot type "fastboot devices" and you should see your device. If you can see it, this will work. If not, there is a driver issue.

Worked for me fine. Don't try to flash it in TWRP. You just need to ADB > fastboot flash logo <name of file>.bin after you first unzip the file to access the .bin file.
People screwed up on that thread because they tried to flash the zip file instead of the .bin file in ADB and got similar issues with distortion.

I flashed it with fastboot as well and got distortion. When I have time I will look at that file with a hex editor and see if there is a difference.
don't have access to a computer for a while, any chance it can be made into a flashable zip?

It works for the Droid Turbo too. It works on ALL Quarks. You did something wrong. You don't flash it in TWRP, you flash it in ADB.
And there are TWO Quarks Moto sells called Turbo -- Moto Turbo which I have and the Droid Turbo. They are both Quarks and everything is the same except for radio. What works on one will work on all.

Stuck on "Warning bootloader unlocked".

I am in need of some assistance. Been trying to update to a new version of Android. However i keep receiving failed to update messages. So i figured i would wipe the phone clean. I went to recovery (PhilZ Touch 6) and took the option to wipe everyhting (Clean to install a New ROM). However i am encountering some problems. The phone is now stuck at "Warning bootloader unlocked". So i cant really 'access' my phone. I tried sideloading a .zip firmware via PhilZ mod, but the problem is that my device does not show up as connected.
What can i do?`I've killed the adb server and restarted it several times, restarted phone and computer several times, without any luck. Whenever i go in to fastboot mode and insert the USB cable, it still says "Connect USB data cable".
Help would be very much appreciated .
Hi
Well if you're trying to update from a stock firmware or a rom based on stock it will always show an error because you modified a system file, in this case you changed your recovery, so it wont let you update.
The phone is stuck because you erased the OS so now you have to flash again the stock firmware via fastboot or flash twrp recovery and then copy a rom from your PC to the phone.
Try to flash your stock back using Odin.
And this time use proper methods to root, flast ROMs and kernels and unlocking the boot loader.
The problems generally arise when you ignore the procedure.
Soory for the bad language. Hope it has helped you
The problem is though i cannot get the computer/phone to recognize that the other one exists. No matter what I do it says Connect USB data cable, even though its connected. Which means i cannot get the device to show up in the CMD menu.
If you boot into a Linux Live CD (for example, Ubuntu) fastboot / adb will work - provided the problem is not your cable.
Whenever i'm in the bootloader menu, when i look at my device manager on the PC, it says Fastboot Falcon S "the drivers for this device are not installed". but i'm unable to install them because windows cant find them.
Also, no problem with the cable since it works for other phones and devices.
Another problem i have noticed is that i cannot turn the phone off. It just restarts sitting at the "Warning bootloader unlocked screen".

I cannot copy anything to the phone, because it does not show up on my computer.
When i have the phone connected via the USB cable and running PhilZ Touch 6, my device manager shows XT1032 and a yellow exclamation mark on it. When i go to properties, it says "drivers for this device are not installed".
I had the same issue with philz but using twrp the mtp mode works fine
How can i install twrp instead?
Download the twrp. Img file and flash it using fastboot
The thing is though, how do i flash ANYTHING, when i cannot even get my device and computer to recognize eachother? the adb devices command returns nothing, just blank space under "List of devices attached". Since there is no OS i cannot enable USB-debugging. So i'm kind of stuck in a catch 22 it seems.
are you using motorola fastboot to flash? or just adb .exe?
Ive tried using regular fastboot and mfastboot nothing works
Can you post a screenshot of the phone in fastboot mode and fasboot console?

If you type "fastboot devices" instead of adb does it shows the same?
If your usb cable is working fine then maybe you could try using another PC
This is what happens when i use the fastboot command

The common solutions are:
(i) Try a different usb cable
(ii) Reinstall Motorola Drivers
(iii) Load a linux live CD on PC / Laptop - Drivers are not required then
(iv) Try another PC / Laptop
(v) Install a newer version of Windows​
I) Tried several USB cables
II)Tried reinstalling the motorola drivers
III)This i dont know how to do, is there a link with perhaps a tutorial or a guide?
IV)If all else fails i guess i'll have to try this, just a bit difficult to get access to another computer
V)already have windows 10

My device is now stuck in the fastboot menu. It says I can navigate the menu using volume up and down but pressing either of those doesn't do anything and I can't seem to power off the device by holding the power button. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Some people have reported that touch isn't working and partitions aren't mounting properly. I tried to fix most issues and uploaded a new version. I do not own this device personally - so i can not test the fixes. Please give me feedback for the updated version.
I just got my GPD XD+ today, thanks for the TWRP build but on mine, even with the current build (2018/04/01), I can't perform any actions. Touch still seems not to work for me. I can't get past TWRP asking me "Keep System Read-only?" Let alone see if partitions are loading correctly.
Everything is in portrait mode which is awkward for this device. What about landscape? Shouldn't it be 1280x720 rather than 720x1280?
**Update**
It would appear that my touch controls are inverted... so the fix for others, seems to have inverted my own.
**Update 2***
Well... after realizing the touchscreen was reversed for me, I was able to slide the "Swipe to allow modifications" slider but after that, I chose to reboot out of recovery since the likelyhood of me hitting something by mistake with the controls reversed was high. Being very careful, I was able to tell it to reboot to system and now the system hangs at the GPD logo.. which no longer animates... I can no longer boot into anything but recovery and fastboot.
Any theories as to what has happened? Does anyone have a Clean Stock ROM of the plus model so I can start over using adb?
**Update 3**
PsyOps pointed me towards some stock images at "forum.gpd.hk/t3-the-latest-firmware-of-gpd-game-console" and I'm back in business. Had to flash more than just recovery and boot.. had to flash system as well for some reason.

I have the same situation here.
It happened after unlocked the bootloader, so it's nothing to do with the recovery.
The adb commend return the error: device '(null)' not found.
I can't check the "recovery" box. It doesn't do anything. And the first methode doesn"t work
EDIT : nevermind, I did it but same problem as Busted77

Same thing here. Now waiting for the battery to empty. What happens after that? Will it work fine and the bootloader be unlocked?

I was being dinner and used adb commands instead of fast boot. If you have your device plugged into a computer with fastboot setup you can run "fastboot reboot" and everything should work.

Wait for the battery runs out, then recharge, it works fine and the bootloader is unlocked, the first boot will take longer and a few reboot.
And I find that any time you issue fastboot command from you pc, the xd plus will stuck and you have to wait the battery runs out.
I installed the Magisk use fastboot method, stuck again, and need to wait for the battery runs out, recharged, and evertyhing ok then.
There's another root method on Chinese forum (flash supersu pack by recovery), since I rooted by installin Magisk, I didn't try that.

No, when I stuck in the fastboot menu, the adb command return error that no device can find, I have to unplug battery or wait for the battery runs out.
"fastboot reboot" worked perfectly for me!
Fastboot stuck
Same problem here.
I installed the drivers but got the error.
Now my device is in fastboot mode but fastboot reboot etc. don't work.. And I just can't turn it off..
Im really sad.
Windows 10 x64
So.. At least I could fix the problem, I installed the Drivers (had do disable driver signature) and installed your TWRP Mod successfully but the Screen is mirrored! U can use it but its very tricky.. I could open "Install" But if I open it, twrp could not load any data it called "0MB Space" and yeah after reboot, my GPD XD Plus DON'T start..

I had the same issue, could use it inverted and mirrored but after running it and not doing anything with it, I could no longer boot into system... Only into recovery. If I tried to boot into system, the boot animation would never animate and the system would hang.
See PsyOps' reply to my question of where to find a stock rom. You can either use the provided tool or you can use adb commands to reflash your system partition... At least for me I had to flash system... Flashing boot and recovery (removing TWRP) didn't work alone...

Thanks for the advice, I spoke with him too and he already gave me the guide how to boot into Recovery Mode and then fastboot (Hold VOL+ & On Off Untill Menu apperas, then boot into recovery, then if the android guy appears press On/Off and THEN VOL+, so you're in the normal recovery mode for all the other poor user's )
And I flashed system.img, boot and stock recovery and then it booted up..
The only thing is, that I think that the SD card won't mount correctly anytime and if I plug it to the PC, I dont see the SD card and big files (like the StockROM Update 1.10 abort before its finished).
Greetings
Contact me in discord.
Could you please close the thread and delte the download link? Not even once your TWRP worked, please don't share the file anymore. Other user's will brick their device too.
