[Q] Moto G soft brick/boot loop after unlocking bootloader.. - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well it seems that I have bricked or caused a bootloop on my brothers Moto G. I followed the steps carefully to unlock ghe bootloader from Motorola's site and afterwards I can't get it to boot. I've been searching for quite some time and I keep seeing suggestions to go into recovery and factory reset. Problem is it doesn't go into recovery once I select from oot loader mode. Stays on a black screen with Andy laying on his back, opened with the infamous red triangle with and exclamation on it. I'm guessing there's no recovery? Also tried flashing stock recovery with the Moto Tool this morning and still nothing. Has anyone had a similar issue and resolved it or have any suggestions that I could attempt? Would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Nexus S stuck in Boot loop

Hi,
sorry for my post, but i'm devastated and can't find anything
I flashed my Nexus S, I9023, with the new ICS update from the Google servers

Going into fastboot and choosing recovery doesn't help
I can only see a lying Android with a red triangle and then nothing happens
Is there anyone who can help me?

Hi, any luck with this issue?! I'm having exactly the same problem
You could try flashing the recovery through fastboot or even wipe the device and flash the ROM through fastboot.
Thanks... At the end I wasn't even able to get into Clockwork Mod Recovery. Found a guide on how to force my way into Clockwork Mod, and tried to load a ROM - without success...
I ended up leaving my phone on boot the whole night, and sure enough, it was working in the morning. Mind you, I've had it booting or more than half an hour before, and nothing happened.
So personally, I don't have an explanation why it works all of a sudden.
My suggestion is, leave it booting overnight and "hope for the best" - it worked for me.

[Q] G2x STUCK ON S/W UPGRADE SCREEN

Ok, I have been on this for several days now searching with no success.My phone was running perfectly until i decided to update it using the LG mobile software updater.After that things went down hill. My phone is stuck on the " S/W upgrade please wait while upgrading..." screen. I tried several steps posted by others but no luck what so ever. I was able to get ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 on the phone thinking that it would help because the stock recovery menu would just lead me back to that screen when I tried to do the hard reset. I flashed Roms on it following the exact instructions and when i reboot it still goes back to that screen.The only steps that i couldnt follow threw with was the Clean Batch Internal SD format for some reason. I went into APX mode and ran the flash.bat file but nothing would pop up leading me to believe that i did something wrong or something I dont know.
Can anyone help?
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP I LOVE MY G2X!
Have you tried this method? It seems help many people.

Are you able to boot into bootloader (fastboot) via Vol-UP+Power combo?
You may have to re-flash recovery and go from there.

[Q] Is My HTC DH Bricked?

Hello,
I've posted several weeks ago a thread detailing what I did to stop my HTC Desire HD from booting, however did not get any replies. The post can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/htc-dhd-rom-recovery-t2827521
To put it simply, I can get into bootloader however cannot boot into a ROM or recovery image. I've tried to factory reset and it seems like it does the job but when it reboots it hangs at the green HTC logo with white bakground screen. If I just let it boot it will also hang at the same screen. When I try to boot into recovery I am presented with a different screen which has a phone with a red triangle with a red exlamation mark and it also hangs there.
Any ideas on how I could resolve this issue?

Nice to hear that, Congrats. Adb/fastboot is always the option in case accessible.

thank you so much for your help.somehow i got it back up and running
Had the same happen to me. It didn't want to go into recovery gave a message it failed. With some patience I manged to get the button combo to work for fastboot then did a flash-all of the factory image. I think the trick was it had to be plugged in to get to download mode and I think you may hit the power button slightly before the volume down. It was a bit tedious. I tried to recover the boot.img and that trashed things up worse, got no google loading logo or something odd. Anyhow flashing the full factory image fixed things!
Glad you got it resolved, maybe this helps someone else in the same spot.
