Are you sure you are using volume up button to select a choice.
Pressing power button just reboots, volume down navigates and volume up selects
I made that mistae quite a number of times!

yes i am using volume up to select.. but not working any factory - recovery.. same bootloop comming again....
now i am goin to flash phone..... downloading stock.....

For you to be able to update the firmware (-> Android) there must not be root or a custom recovery on the phone. Remove both, flash again. Otherwise the updater throws an error and the phone will always reboot.

[Q][D2303] How to root with unlocked bootloader?

Hi guys! Im on 4.4.4 with unlocked bootloader, the only way to root this device that i found on the internet is to use locked bootloader tutorials.
Is there any easy way to root unlocked bootloader D2303 on 4.4.4 18.3.1.C.1.15? I tried flashtool but when it installs towel root and i press make it rain! it says this device is not supported. Thanks in advance!
Here is one easiest way, but its over chinese app called KingRoot.
1. Download latest KingRoot.
2. Press Root button
3. Allow USB debug in Developer settings(Tap 10 times in Phone info on Build number to get Dev. settings)
4. Install Philz Recovery
5. Flash SuperSU V.249 BETA! Important!
6. Flash RICDefeat.zip
Same way is described here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/general/how-to-permanently-root-xperia-m2-t3106534
But dont forget to flash SuperSU V2.49 BETA and RICDefeat & remove KingRoot apps.

Update your bootloader using emma, then flash a recovery like CM12.1 Recovery from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/lfub133wy5833bx/recovery.img and flash with it SuperSU zip and RICdefeat. Then you're done.

Actually that's a locked bootloader method.
And Kingroot also sends your IMEI info to chinese unknown servers...

The phone is off. I press the power button it vibrates, then for 5-6 second the screen is black. Then the lines shows up and no boot. Vol- pressed or not is the same.

Go in fastboot mode and run fastboot erase recovery .
Again, I see no reason why this could be happening as this recovery runs in it's partition, isolated, so if you don't run it (Vol- button from the beggining) then it should not interfere with device boot up. Try flashing the latest kernel from the .15 ftf also.

I reflashed the recovery trough fastboot and now only if i try to boot recovery the blue lines shows up. I think that is a problem of the recovery.

No, it shouldn't as the problem only was the GPIO Keys... Not screen driver problem... But yes, looks like you can't use the CM Recovery.
Format your fastboot partition with fastboot erase recovery and use the locked bootloader procedure... What a pity.

Can't reboot to bootloader

Hi,
I want to install TWRP so I tried rebooting to bootloader by using adb, which didn't work, and I tried rebooting to the bootloader by rebooting to bootloader from recovery mode, which didn't work either, whenever I try it boots normally and just goes to my sim code screen. It's a G920F with stock firmware, my phone notified me of a software update is this the problem?
There's no "bootloader mode" on Samsung devices.
Hi,
There's no bootloader mode on Samsung, instead you get the Download screen. To get to it, just turn off your device, then turn it on using volume down+home+power buttons. You can then proceed to install TWRP using Odin through it.
All the best,
~Lord

From the picture you uploaded, says that your bootloader is locked, so that is why you can't flash any custom recovery. First you need to unlock your bootloader first but BACKUP FIRST, cause it will erase your internal storage when you unlock your bootloader. After unlocked, then you can flash custom recovery. Hope that helps.
Edit: but if your bootloader is really already unlocked, than try this, flashed twrp, then power down your phone by pressing the power button, then boot to twrp by press power button + volume down buttom. Don't reboot to twrp using the option im bootloader mode or using adb.

[HELP] Soft brick

I was trying to flash a new LinageOS rom, but it didn't work properly. In one of my attempts to switch from the stock to the custom I formatted data in TWRP and seemingly destroyed the partition table. Now my phone is booted into the bootloader, but this bootloader is different from that one I had used to see earlier. More than that, it shows the "oem_locked" state, hovewer the bootloader was unlocked by me a month ago.
I downloaded the latest firmware for the RU region (RETRU), extracted the gpt file, but it can't be flashed due to the error, provided on the screenshot. The same error is actual for all firmware versions, available in the official firmware folder.
In such a way I can't flash gpt and the bootloader seems to be locked and non-unlockable. As far as I understand, the blankflash is a way out, but it is not available at the moment. Are there any other methods to restore the phone fucntionality?
I've seen this before let battery die and then it might come Back normal it's how others have fixed it
As far, as I have understood, I need a signed gpt.bin file. However, Motorola publishes non-signed firmware packages on its site(
I have no opportunity to bring phone back to service, maybe there is a way to get signed firmware files somehow?

It doesn't detect the phone correctly, since the partition table is bricked. Followed advice from similar topics for other Moto phones and understood, that the inly way out is to wait for newer firmware versions (maybe, they will allow something new), or to wait for clean flash methods via EDL analogues...
Fix
If you anybody bump into the same problem, try to put the phone in blank mode:
Fastboot oem blankflash
Then use blankflash to fix the bootloader. After that, pick your stock firmware and reflash it.

A Blankflash is special firmware used to boot device into bootloader so stock firmware can be flashed.

If the bootloader is corrupted on a Qualcomm based device it may boot into
Emergency download mode (EDM)
Usually the device screen will be completely black
And when connected to a PC will show a
QHSUSB_Bulk or qloader
In device manager
To recover the device a
Blank Flash or
mmcblk0.img/loader.img
Is needed

Haven't read all this so may not be helpful. Just saw "Soft Brick"
To restore to factory. Boot into Bootloader -
Then
Restore
If selecting Recovery Mode from within Bootloader (volume keys to move between, power button to select) returns
No Command
You have to press and hold the power button. Now press and release the volume up button but continue to hold power button
After this, you can see a list with option of Wipe data/ factory reset
