[Q] Bricked my first smartphone - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well guys, I really need your help.
I was trying to flash CM onto my Moto G LTE. But something went wrong I guess.
It hangs at the Bootloader Unlocked screen.
I can get into the screen where you press power+vol. down, but cant get into recovery.
ADB isn't listing it.
Can someone please help me?
I'm literally breaking down over this :crying:

Feel like an idiot now
Welp, turns out I just needed to reflash CWM.
Truth be told, I feel an idiot.
What did I learn from this not-disaster?
Don't panic. Someone somewhere has a solution.
If mods could do a delety thing, that'd be great.

Can you get back into CWM recovery? If so you can flash your nandroid backup or reflash the ROM and you should be good to go. Make sure you check the compatibility of the kernel before you flash it.
I do not own an atrix. I wish I did that is a sweet phone. Sadly verizon does not have cool phones like that and i am stuck with locked bootloader droid 2 global. Not that I do not like it as it is a great phone. I have xoom though and I have gotten that same error on it. Your phone is not screwed, if you can get into clockworkmod then you are easily saved. If not you have a few more options. Get an sbf file for your phone. I am sure they are around. Learn how to flash it and your phone is saved. You can also see if you can get into fastboot mode. Get some image files and once again your saved. I am intrigued by the moto atrix so please report back on any progress and i certainly will try to help you in any way that i possibly can
P.S. If this helped you, or you just want to show appreciation for me typing this up please give that thanks button a good old press
u hold the volume rock up button to get into cwm right?

Sweet Jesus. I don't know, I don't have an Atrix...
Pardon me if it's a wrong forum - Issue with Moto Defy
Hi,
I tried to flash froyo on my motorola defy using RSD lite and everything went on smooth till the message "Please manually power up this phone" appeared on RSD lite and the phone screen is frozen with android logo. Nothing is happening. What to do now?? Please help!!!
Please Help me find img file for Atrix 4g
I rooted my phone a few months ago without really knowing what I was doing but lately it has been acting up so I wanted to upgrade. Of course the OTA upgrade wouldn't take because I am rooted. So I tried to flash the stock rom on my phone and somehow did either a soft or a hard brick. not sure which. It will only go to RSD mode. I understand that I can use RSD lite to bring it back but I have scoured the internet and can not find an active link to the necessary files. Please if someone has them please share a link!

[Q] samsung galaxy stellar sch 1200

Hey! from my phone, it freezes on the samsung image when is boots up. It stays there forever. I'm pretty sure it is bricked. I rooted my phone, then tried to install some kind of font switch that is required for a root phone. After that it told me to restart my phone, did exactly that, and now my phone is stuck on the samsung logo screen. I have odin, and now im just looking for a stock rom for it. I did a factory reset, but that didnt work either. Can anybody help me?

oh yea... its for verizon by the way.
Did you install the verizon update manager? You should be able to do a repair. As for the stock Rom we are working on that right now.
Oh and you can follow us on these sites so you can keep up with what we're doing with the phone:

WELL... thanks. And no i didn't install the verizon update manager.. What's that? And please let me know as soon as the stock ROM comes out or any word of it,... or yea... hahaha. im really stuck on it. I really wish things could work out.
You'll find the Verizon Update Manager at the 13th post of the 2nd link I posted here. You'll also need a Dropbox account.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902170&page=2
Before you do that, however, can you get into recovery mode? Hold down the home button, VOL Up, and the power button to enter into recovery mode.
If you cannot enter recovery mode, please be patient as we try to get a stock ROM uploaded.
You also can help us. Since your phone is rooted, you can make a backup of the stock recovery if it still works. If you're familiar with ADB you should try looking at the last post of my link: you'll see a command there to extract the recovery.

well i can.. i can get into recovery mode. Thats how i tried the factory reset... and it didn't work. I am currently at school... so ill try to do the ADB command this weekend. I was looking at that post earlier. but.. as i said before, but my phone won't fully turn on. It's stuck at the "samsung" logo. that's where it stops. Just curious is the Verizon update manager the same as VZAccess Manager? And the link on the post its the bootstrap helper.exe... that one am i correct?
Verizon has several names for its features but I do belive the VZ Access manager is different. I just pulled up the app and found that it's actually callied "Verizon Upgrade Assistant"...which really means "kiss your custom rooted ROM goodbye" in the future when everything works well.
I have someone trying to upload a stock ROM and I'll get back to you when you can download the ROM. My phone's bricked as well so all I can do is sit, wait, and gather information. I've been without this blasted phone for nearly two weeks so don't feel too bad; you're not alone.
I appreciate the help you can give for the recovery option as if we all can get some stock ROMs extracted, the REAL devs can start having fun with this phone...hopefully we will too.

Just got official TWRP support after working on this with a dev for about a month. In the link below, use v6 or v7. The official version should be out soon after this final testing that we;re doing.

Have no fear
Vlad is here
just go to this threat, Read the first post and then download the file form the first post. After that flash new recovery. And do not forget to read the first post there
good luck
Haha, I just had the exact same problem (one thread above, or now rather below). This seems to come from flashing a custom ROM on the stock boot loader. To fix the problem I just flashed everything again (bootloader-things, TWRP, official Android 4 from xball via LG Flash tool). I'm not quite sure if EVERYTHING is necessary to flash or just the ROM via LG Flash Tool, but what I got when flashing my personal ROM over it again is "security error"...

wrong forum man do you read title
Hello everybody I have some problems with my smartphone sensation Htc XL with beats Audio X315es . I try recently to change my Rom because my battery was defective. When I charge it the level of the battery stops in 28 % and it is the stop. I try with other original batteries(drum kits), but without any success. It is the first problem. The second is that since I began the stages of the boot loader the telephone, when I connect him(it) to the computer goes direct in mode(fashion) fastboot and maintaining the freed boot loader it always persists and it is not the mode normal recovery of Htc but rom manager NB:it is with Roma manager that I fell in love my telephone. Think of having you solutions for it if yes I wait for your answers thank you in advance.

Help in Moto G boot

Hi guys, I'm here because my Moto G doesn't enters in recovery mode, keeps booting forever, and I can't find anything that helps me to fix that. I've tried to unlock it, but it didn't work. Now I can only start my cellphone in the fastboot mode and it keeps saying every time I try to turn it on these two mensages: ''failed to validate system image'' and ''fastboot reason: fall-through from recovery boot mode''. I think the problem is in the fastboot, but I can't fix it, I don't understand too much of this stuff. Can you guys help me out here?
We need more info.
What were you doing when it started bootlooping?
What do you mean when you say you "unlocked it" ??
Do you have a custom recovery?
- if so, which one?
- have you made a backup at
any time?

Well, I woke up and the Moto G was bootlooping... I may say that long time ago my cellphone dropped into my sink, but I don't think that was the problem it worked since now without any problems.
I don't have any custom recovery and didn't make a backup either. The ''unlock'' was a attempt to install a custom recovery, I've asked motorola the pin to unlock to ''developers'', the one used to root...
@Zeh Silveira, sorry for the big delay!
Yesterday I had the same problem of you: couldn't enter in recovery mode.
How I fixed it: flashed TWRP from Windows and then CyanogenMod ROM.

well to get into recovery you hold the volume down button after the Sony splash screen the phone should emit a green led and vibrate if you hold down the volume down it should turn purple to enter recovery. If you can't get that far you will need flashtool. If you just wanted root you could have used kingroot. or you could flash a prerooted zip. Thats if you had already installed xz dual recovery ater flashing if not just try reflashing in flashtool.

I get this error if I try to reflash anything! http://pastebin.com/VTPvT8wQ
What do I do? I can't get into recovery! Can you please guide me through this? How do I know if it's hard bricked?
Also, I just got it today, so if I can't resolve the issue, I want to ask if I could return it, but I only have a week to figure that out!
PLEASE! I'll do anything, I just want it to work again!

BTW don't open any more threads on this because it violates xda rules of posting for the same thing. Anyway I hate flashtool but try exclude t/a and reset customizations on the menu to the right. Your phone is not hard bricked and should be fixable. You should pm me and I will try to work you through this.
