Hello, I have a problem with my Moto G after unlocking the bootloader. Let me just post the basic info of the phone:
-Moto G XT1032 (16GB)
-Bought in UK Amazon, used in Slovenia
-Android version KitKat 4.4.2
I followed the instructions to unlock bootloader from the Motorola site. The cmd window is like this (pic in attachment) . The first time it rebooted it showed the warning sign at begginng and actually almost booted succesfully but then said com.android.proccess has stopped (something like that) so i turned it off and it automatically turns on again and it does show the warning that bootloader is unlocked and the motorola animation startup and after that the screen become black (but is turned on) and it's stuck like that. Please help my with any solution, because i just got this phone like a week ago and to have it bricked now would be just awfull. So yeah, please post any suggestions on how to fix this.
+I find out now that I am able to get into fastboot, if that helps. I don't know what to do if any of you do please help
Had a similar problem. I solved it by rebooting to bootloader and flashing a custom recovery. Try either cwm or twrp. From there i flashed cyanogenmod.

Thanks for replying! I'm sorry could you please be more specific on how to do that, i'm still a noob at doing this stuff
How to get to fastboot mode
Keep in mind, that vol up is the enter key in fastboot mode and power button will turn your device off. When you are in fastboot mode you can connect the phone via USB and you should see "usb connected" or something similar popping up. You can also list the connected devices with
Code:
fastboot devices
Once you're in fastboot mode install a recovery.img. Either twrp or cwm.
You can flash it with:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
And finally boot to recovery by selecting it in fastboot mode.
Then you can copy cyanogenmod or another rom with adb:
Code:
adb push C:\path\to\rom.zip /sdcard/
Then flash the rom by selecting "install zip", "choose zip from /sdcard/" and selecting 0 and the rom you just copied over.
Edit: you might find this useful if you dont have adb + fastboot already set up.
Edit: also you should put recovery.img and rom.zip in the same folder as adb and fastboot (will make the path thing obsolete).

what are you refering to with "rebooting to bootloader"?

Bootloader or Fastboot mode.
You can go into this mode by turning the phone off, then press and hold Power + Vol down buttons for about 3-5 seconds.
Alternatively, if you have ADB working, you can type in your command prompt: adb reboot bootloader

Hi together,
I've got a Motorola Photon Q 4g LTE mobile phone and this afternoon I wanted to install CyanogemMod, but whatever I do, I stuck with the following problem:
I can't install any other Custom Recovery. I tried ClockworkMod and OpenRecovery, but I always get the s**t Motorola Bootloader, when I start in Recovery Mode. The Bootloader of my Phone is unlocked via Motorola Website, as told in many other threads.
I know that the users arrrghhh, shabbypenguin and Skrilax_CZ are great experts with firmware and such things, but I'm not allowed to write in developer's forums because I'm new here.
Has anybody got an idea for me, how to geht the Custom Recovery to work?
Btw: I tried to root the phone as well, but that wasn't posible. May be things come together or depend on each other.
Thanks for your help!
When you flash recovery (IE run the fastboot command) is it successful?
With the phone in fastboot/bootloader mode, type "fastboot devices" in the command prompt (where you run the fastboot flash command) and what does it output?
Also, try this.

When I flash recovery, I just flash the Motorola given Recovery by Motoroloa Bootloader. The Phone restarts, a logo with the Android Man is shown (stomach opend with some engeniering tools in it) and after about 5-7 Minuten, the system starts normally.
I also managed it to change the "Unlocked Message" into a Motorola Logo by using fastboot flash logo xxxx.bin and I nearly destroyed the flash by flashing an unlikely file. So the phone was shortly out of order because oder "flash failure" (fastboot mode). After that, I managed to flash the "boot.img" file of an CyanogenMod, so the flash was rebuilt and I could use the phone normally.

It shows the connected devices by showing a 8 or 9 ditigt number. It's almost the same view like I connected the phone without fastboot and use "adb devices".

This one I didn't tried yet, because I was so dissappointed of the mismatch with ClockworkMod & Open Recovery. Do you think, that trying this one will help, after two others failed?!
Thanks for you notice and your time. That's very helpful!
You need to boot to recovery after flashing it. There's a shell script that is re-flashing stock recovery - the dead Android dude with tools sticking out of him is stock recovery....

Ah ja, now I'm one step closer. I did not know, that the dead Android dude is the sign for stock recovery.
I'll give it this afternoon another try and will report. A bunch of thanks to you at this time!
Hi, it's me again. I managed now the reboot to recovery, by holding the volume up button while doing the "fastboot reboot"-command with the command box. That worked and I could start Photon Q Open Recovery 2.06.
Unfortunately, I did something wrong or so and now the script re-flashed stock recovery again. Nevertheless, I now know how to operate and will do the rest by my own (hopefully).
@arrrghhh: Thank you very much for your help!
So, I finally did everyhting the right way (now with ClockworkMod Recovery), because I now have CyanogenMod running on my Motorola Photon Q
:victory:
@arrrghhh: Thank you very very much!
Hey everybody,
I get my Nexus S from the repair station. They said it can't be repaired because it was "my fault". It wasnt't my fault because I had the problem last year too and they repaired it, f**k Samsung. But now after the "failed repair" I can start my Nexus S but only into the bootloader (when I only press the sleep button it boot into the bootloader too). No Rom or something else like a Recovery Image are installed. So I can only choose these 4 options:
REBOOT BOOTLOADER (yes, it will reboot into the bootloader again)
REBOOT (it will reboot into the bootloader and it says in a red font above the "PRODUCT NAME": FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG
RECOVERY (see at REBOOT)
POWER OFF (it will go off)
The smartphone is locked and it is the i9023 model. My Laptop can luckily detect my Nexus and the drivers were installed sucessfully.
I tried to unlock the bootloader with the Wugfresh-Tool and the command prompt put it always fail. First the screen with the question "Unlock bootloader?" appears but when I press "yes" it will freze.
I am in real trouble. Hope u guys can help me.
Thanks, AzN MusiQ
have you tried with "manual" unlock? I suppose you're on windows, navigate with terminal in the dir in which you have the fastboot file and the others, place in that folder also the other files you need for flashing. Then fastboot oem unlock, and if it gives you "waiting for device", it seems that your pc doesn't identify well your phone, otherwhise it should work. Try this and, if you can unlock it, from terminal using fastboot flash firstly the recovery, then the image "soju" you find on google official site. Then, when you installed your rom, boot that rom and see if everything works, bootloader boots and recovery stars correctly. At this point you can easily flash what you want

After rootting my moto G around a month ago, the KitKat update has came out, I tried to update on my phone and there was an error, then I tried updating it from the PC, again another error. Then when I would turn my phone on it would turn off after around 1 minute after turning on, So I found a thread to install the update manually, then I had errors flashing partitions as said in the steps on this other website. I uplugged the phone as I kept getting errors, now when I try to turn it on it just gets stuck on "WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED" screen. Even when I hold down the power button to turn it off, it just turns the screen black, vibrates, turns back on with the warning screen. I cannot enter fastboot with holding down power and the volume key. I am stuck here any tips or anyone know what is going on/ causing the error?
Did u got the phone completlely off? If not - try it and try to Boot in fastboot then.

i have same problem
I am also having same problem. did anyone found solution for this?
There can be many reasons for this: broken ROM, incorrect kernel etc. Unless you know specifically the last thing you changed; you are better off doing a factory reset and installing a new ROM in Recovery or flashing a firmware image via fastboot.
I am having this exact same issue. the phone is stuck on the unlocked bootloader screen. It is still responsive, I can get into the fastboot and even clockwork recovery mod but nothing i do will escapt the bootloop. I even tried a factory reset in Fastboot and Clockwork and the RSD lite method but it didnt work.
Go to the 'Restore Stock Firmware' thread and re-flash your firmware again. I've had bootloops before.

I did, I tried that method but when I get to step 3B I cannot get mboot or whatever to work. First it throws an error and asks for an obscure Adb.dll that i hunted down and put in its folder but then i click it to open and it flashes up for a second then closes. Excuse me while I go cry in a corner for a bit. :crying:

But in file explorer/My computer I can't see the phone. My phone drivers are installed.
I've tried adb shell command and I am getting this error:

If you have access to TWRP, then are you able to go into the Advanced menu and use the ADB Sideload feature to flash over a ROM from your PC? I had a problem while working with my phone the other day during its initial unlocking and flashing where I'd broken the system install but still had access to TWRP, and by swiping and enabling ADB Sideload, I was able to flash in a new ROM with my phone connected to my computer by running: adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip
Alternatively, you may be able to use the stock firmware restoration procedure detailed elsewhere in this forum to restore your stock firmware via fastboot.
Pardon me if I haven't fully grasped your issue. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the help. I tried ADB Sideload feature in twrp as well the adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip this command/feature was not working from the pc.
Anyways, I tried USB OTG method, copied CM nightly into my flash-drive then attached flash-drive + OTG cable with phone, at first OTG was not working don't know why it could not mount, I restarted phone, went into recovery and then I could installed rom from flashdrive. Finally my phone is working now
I am totally new to android and this rom rooting stuff. Moto G is my first android smartphone coming directly from iPhone 5 so I was scared like hell
If anyone failed with ADB Sideload method please try USB OTG method and your phone will work again. Hope this help others

You first have to select the usb storage in TWRP because TWRP detected internal storage. U can even mount usb otg from TWRP options. after selecting usb then u can see the files in ur usb drive.
I'm stuck on the same Warning screen, it is not a bootloop since the phone just seems to freeze but after a minute I get the windows sound as if you conected something via USB, but the warning screen stays, I've let it for hours and I've flashed stock roms. Even when you flash a no warning boot logo.bin the screen shows again even when mfastboot shows as succesful flash. Out of ideas now, please help

Solution for MotoG locked in bootloader,
I think you must have tried to install another kernel version or so. If you have installed cyanogen try resinsallting the lasted update by going into custom recovery and flashing the latest update in the cmupdater file. Worked for me ! Lets hope that it works for you too. All the best !
I'm trying to install a TWRP via ADB and it shows it was successful but when I enter recovery it goes to stock recovery, maybe I'm doing something wrong but I checked several videos and TUT's and i can't find a solution.
The phone is xt1032 gpe with unlocked bootloader ont 5.1 Lollipop, it's not rooted.
I think the problem is that after I send the commands "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and "fastboot reboot" I cant enter the to recovery to make the new recovery end the installation.
When i send the reboot command the phone doesn't reboot it just shows the battery charging symbol and when i touch de power button the phone boots up immediately i tried several combinations off keys and I still can't do it.
I really appreciate some help,
Thanks

Your fastboot command is wrong.
Rename twrp as recovery.img(.img is the extension) copy it to adb folder and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without quotes.

Found the solution, i just needed to press volume down and then volume up in the fastboot menu after flashing ther was no need for reboot
Purchased an Lg Gpad 7 Wifi tablet (v400) 2 weeks ago. Came with preinstalled Lollipop android so i couldnt install a recovery rom to flash any other custom roms. Downgraded to Kitkat version following the instructions on Xda forums and succesfully installed Twrp. When i installed Cyanogenmod 12.1 through Twrp i got stuck in fastboot screen.
Any suggestions and / or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
I had a similar problem.. Only mine was stuck at the bootloader. Go in TWRP and repair /data and other partitions. My data partition gave me an error since F2FS is a little flaky and some ROMs corrupted it (claimed they supported it). I would recommend erasing the system, cache and data partition if you can't get into TWRP.
The problem is i cant get out of fastboot whatever i try. It says start on bootloader but the tablet just restarts on an empty screen doing nothing.

if you have an sd card, try removing that, then reboot.
if that doesnt work, try entering fastboot command, fastboot continue
Tried without sdcard and i get the same fastboot screen.
How can i give any commands? The only options i have are Restart Bootloader / Restart / Power off. Tried restarting bootloader but i get nothing in return tablet just stays on with nothing on screen.

you said it was stuck on fastboot, if thats the case, install any needed drivers on your pc, connect device to it, open a terminal in the fastboot dir (after you go get fastboot), then try those commands i gave. you could also try, fastboot reboot dont think i mentioned that before.

hmm, ok, im guessing it would have said that normally, when not broken. all the command does is try to release it past where its stuck. it doesnt actually flash, lock, unlock, or change anything.
imo, this seems good, because now we know fastboot is working.
i own lg devices, but not your specific device. i would hate to give you some bad advice and make your tablet broken more, but if it were me in this situation, i would try to flash the factory KK firmware you used to downgrade with odin or however you did it. hopefully, that will clean everything up and let it boot properly.
if for whatever reason you cant do that, we could try extracting the factory file, and just flashing recovery and system, those should be the only things that got changed putting on twrp and cm normally.
Sorry, I have the serious proplem wtih my LG pad V400, I rooted it and using <LG Flash Tool 2014> with <V40010c_00.kdz> to downgrate the firmware but their is error then my LG pad stuck in fastboot menu as with just turn off, restart and restart bootloader. if i seclect one one them the tablet just logged again the fastboot menu
it stuck on the fastboot menu and i cannot do nay think with it. I can restart with factory restore mode but when select yes to restore, it will restart and log in fastboot menu again.
I downloaded adb and fastboot program and put in one folder <Minimal ADB and Fastboot> in C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
I dont have recovery image so i download file <cm-13.0-20160421-NIGHTLY-v400-recovery.img> form your link to download TWRP file
move it to folder of fastboot programe and changed its name to <recovery.img>
I turn on the tablet and it waited at fastboot menu
when i run the command <fasboot flash recovery recovery.img> and they said some thing wrong like in picture
please help me
