Hey guys! (sorry for my bad english)
I have a serius problem with my Moto G xt1032, is a "medium" brick, when i was flashing, it ran very quick out of the safe battery levels, now i can't boot normally or charge the phone because a bootloader error, in fastboot, it says charging but it really doesn't, so, i have always low battery (when it runs out, i can charge it a little with the wall charger and it automatically boots, so i cant charge past 5%). So, the question is, theres any way to charge it, so i can flash any working rom or ota or whatever? Thanks!
I never saw this problem before. There are 3 possibilities which I guess:
- bootloader issue: wipe all cache and flash bootloader
- Battery calibration: charge battery over 8 hours, to see if the battery is charged.
- Hardware problem
Cross fingers and good luck.
Oh boy, im in a horrible situation,, the problem is the bricked software makes the hardware look broken. I cannot charge because all the sofware is blowed up, and i can't flash because i have low battery., In the first droid razr, i was stucked in a similar situation, but, if you remove the kevlar back cover, you could directly connect phase and neutral to the battery and charge it in a harware way, the Moto G has a different system and is hidden, you need to remove all.

If fastboot is working you can still recover your device. Go into fastboot and start charging the device. Use a good quality wall charger and the original motorola micro usb cable and charge it for about 5 hours. Make sure you have enough amps going into the device. As soon as flashing works, flash a custom recovery such as twrp and boot into it. Then use the adb sideload feature to sideload cyanogenmod or stock rom.
I will try! I have two chargers, one similar to the motorola one (someone stealed mine in a party in my own house....) and one very powerfull from an asus tablet, i hope it works.

Always make sure you have above 75% charge before you start flashing. Glad to help!

Can you guys help me, I bricked my Atrix 2 but I am not sure which state of brick it is in. When I connect the device to its wall charger it boots up into the Motorola "M" Dual Core Screen and never moves from that spot. And when I plug the phone into the computer port it only shows a white light and I am unable to boot it up. Also when I go into fast boot it gives me the message saying "Low Battery" "Connect Cable and etc"
Is there any way to charge my bricked phone or unbrick it. The version is 2.3.6
PLEASE HELP ME UNBRICK IT.

You have a soft brick..dont worry its fixable..first you need to charge your battery using a wall charger..then flash the appropriate fxz for your phone..all will be good then
Get a Moto factory cable or external battery charger. Don't make the cable unless you know what you're doing, I can't recommend the "Mcguyver method" either, just order one online, be about $3 total, and be patient, your phone will be phone don't screw it up now like I did
Are there any applications online that would unbrick rather than buy the factory cable?
And thank you for the responses.

Once you get the battery charged you can use RSD lite or an FXZ script. Either way you need to purchase something, but like I said, it's $3, the biggest thing is waiting the 2-3 weeks. I can't recommend slapping 5 volts over the terminals of a lithium ion battery, it just really doesn't sound like a good idea to me, but if you want to you can do that. You need to power your phone, either by charging the battery, using the "Mcguyver method", using a Motorola factory cable, once you have power to the phone, you can flash a firmware and have a working phone. I hardbricked my phone because I screwed up making my own Moto factory cable, I can only hope the place I bought it from will replace it.

I have used The McGyver Method, but since my situation wouldn't allow for an FXZ either with RSDLite or by running a script (ICS leak #2 to GB attempt), I opted to fry the motherboard by hooking it up to my car battery - which I do not recommend - and sent back to Motorola for a warranty replacement. As far as the McGyver Method, I'm not certain that it actually charges the phone, and there's really no way to tell, seeing as how this is only useful if in a soft brick state (AP Fastboot/Low Power Cannot Charge). But, it is definitely worth a try, as long as you're careful. Others have found success with this method, and as long as you're not a complete caveman, you shouldn't have anything to worry about as far as "exploding your battery" or whatever. Like I said, since my situation was different than most, no .xml or FXZ or script would flash, so I had to give the phone a death sentence. As a last resort, but a noted working one, you should have the ability to flash this way without any charge to your battery...
Thanks For The Help, I will try that method, then buy the factory cable as my last resort.
THANKS.

Our "thanks buttons" don't run any risk of bricking you either!
Are there any other ways other than the mcgyver method to charge a soft or hard bricked phone?

If you're hard bricked, you're completely out of luck. Other than McGyver for a soft bricked phone, can buy a new battery or an external battery charger...

Car battery is a good idea, I sent my Atrix 2 in for repairs after I possibly fried the micro usb port or something on the motherboard. Should have done this and said it just died, no way of proving otherwise, very clever.
Hi Guys!
First post here.
Long story short, I put my Moto G to recharge with his own charger, the damn thing started to loop in boot. It powers on, shows the boot logo, vibrates, then stays in black screen but powered for a couple seconds, then reboot again.
I never installed any custom ROM, unlocked bootloader or anything else, in fact, before this I never bothered learning about flashing Android devices. I'm an IT Manager, so the tech terms are no problem, also working with scripts and codding.
Now, because I'm in Brazil and our local Motorola Tech Support is a total disaster, I decided to try solve this on my own, little I knew about the hell I would go trough.
First I tried the Hard Reset, the thing is, my Moto G rebooted when I tried to enter the Recovery Menu.
I tried a Stock 4.4.2 Firmware, no good at all.
I have all the procedures I tried in this thread: ww w.firmware-team.com/showthread.php?p=2564
(remove the space, because I'm a new user, they block me from posting an external link, even if it would help to understand the problem)
If anyone could help me with this, I bought this Moto G less than 4 months, will be a shame If it is lost.
Seems I can't even edit my post until wait 5 minutes. I'm sure you have good reasons, but edit the post should be available, new post should be blocked.

After everything you've done i can't suggest you anything.
But have you considered that maybe something in the hardware broke when you charged it?
As far as i know motorola never made a charger for this phone but many carriers bundle a charger with the phone, hopefully a motorola branded one.
see if you can claim the warranty.
Also, can you post the input/output of the charger you used?

In some regions (mostly in Asia) you do get 500mAh charger instead of OTG cable.
Actually, this is probably a battery problem guys. Luckily you have the Moto G and not the X so you can easily remove the battery. Order a new one, make *absolute* sure it's original. Try Amazon or eBay, but make sure it's not used.

Also, try a different outlet source, 1amp or 2amp charger, and different cable.
Personally, what I would do to work around your problem, is order a aftermarket battery set where you can charge the batteries outside the phone (directly w/ adapter), and swap em out when your phone dies. Back when I had a Galaxy this was a life-saver, never tied to an outlet during the day and also helped me in emergency situations.

Hi!
My charger is branded by Motorola, 850mAh, 5.1V.
I could agree that some hardware may broke during the charge, but which part? Because the battery still charges, the device still connects through Fast Boot menu.

The battery on Moto G is not removable without removing the screws and back plate of the phone. Also, the battery stills charges, and the phone can go all day long rebooting, until the battery discharge.

I'm not familiarized with phone hardware, but seeing that i'm talking with an IT colleague i can make an analogy
Based on the symptoms you describe, it looks like your HDD, or the HDD chipset is fried.
Now, as in phones almost everything are SoCs (System on a Chip) it does not do any good to know which part is broken because the repair involves changing or replacing almost the entire phone internals.

I see. What I find most weird is that when writing(flashing) the firmware, I get no errors, seems all the files were written fine.
Maybe is the Partition table. Is there anyway to completely format these Android Devices, like wiping the disk entirely? Because I tried the Blank Flash procedure, but seems the MBR on the disk is not erased in the process.

As far as i know, there aren't ways to play with the partitions in the Moto G.

if i were you, i'd try my chances claiming the warranty if there is one and they don't mind you unlocking the bootloader.
Hello there,
I am hoping you can help me. I bought a Droid Maxx Developer Edition rooted with the bootloader unlocked on the stock rom about a month ago on ebay used. It worked great up until a few weeks ago when I dropped it. It was only from a height of about 3 feet on to a carpeted floor. It had a case and screen protector on it but when I picked it back up I couldn't get it to turn on at first. When I finally did get it to turn on it would just flash the bootloader unlocked warning and the battery indicator at 0% over and over. So I read around and saw that I needed to get an factory adapter to be able to save it. I got the adapter on Friday and I played around with it some and was able to get it to boot the phone properly but still wasn't able to charge the phone. When I just had my charging cable I was only able to get it into fastboot mode and it would say the battery was low. Now with the adapter it says the battery is ok but still doesn't charge. When I dropped it had at least 70% battery. I am hoping I can recover all my data since I can get it booted up now. Though I am not sure how since the droid maxx doesn't have a sd card. I was thinking and please correct me if this doesn't work but I was thinking maybe I could boot up the phone on the factory cable and then place it on the wireless charger to maybe charge it. I haven't tried it yet since I was afraid to burn up something. I was also reading that there were some roms you could flash that wouldn't hurt your data. I wasn't sure if they were for this phone or for others. That would be nice if I could to that.
I want to try and recover this phone if possible since it is a developer edition and Motorola no longer carry's them. Not that it matters since I have no warranty with them since I did't buy it new. I would bet it was out of warranty when I bought it anyway. Any help or productive suggestions is greatly appreciated.
That sounds to me like s cracked logic board or maybe something on the inside is ripped. I recently bought a mini that was badly bent out of shape...after replacing a battery LCD digitizer frame ear piece, the device would boot only to cool down mode. So a logic swap got me a working phone, if you can get into fastboot.. You may be able to pull files. But I am not too sure

OTG works to get data off or just use android file transfer (Mac). USB mass storage works as is on windows.

Sorry for my ignorance but what is OTG? I will have to try switching to mass storage mode since I have a PC. Is it possible to transfer something over the communications server that is loaded?
See my x/ultra page below. Near the bottom for OTG. Windows it just works in mtp.
What happens when you boot to fastboot with just the usb cable attached to a wall charger? do you get the "charging" message in fastboot? or just Low Battery?
edit: the reason i ask is because I had a similar problem once, where i thought the phone was fubar'd cause I couldnt get it to boot, or show anything when plugged into the wall, but i left it overnight and when i got back in the am it worked. the only thing that could get my phone to boot previously was my factory cable

My first attempt to revive the phone I plugged it into the wall with the usb cable and when I booted it up into fastboot mode it said charging. Unfortunately I couldn't leave well enough alone and kept trying to get it to fully boot. When I finally stopped trying and tried to get it into fast boot and get it to charge, it would only say low battery. Then the other day when I got the factory adapter I plugged it in and booted to fast boot and it still said battery low. Then in an attempt to see if the factory adapter would let me transfer files over I plugged it into my PC. I was amazed that it booted up fully. I was excited and I looked it over and didn't see any damage from the fall. The battery indicator widget showed it was plugged in but only 1% and not charging. So I thought I would try fast boot mode with the adapter plugged in. When it booted into fast boot mode this time it said battery ok. I was so happy. So I left it plugged in all day to let it charge. When I finally got home and unplugged it, still dead.
So now that I read your suggestion of plugging it into the wall, I gave it a try since I hadn't tried it since using the adapter. I booted into fast boot and got low battery again. Then I came up with the idea to plug it into my PC. I booted into fast boot and now it is charging!!! I don't want to get my hopes up because I have been disappointed before. It is something new at least. I am, let's just say cautiously optimistic.

Unfortunately while it said charging...It wasn't. My heart sank after leaving it on to charge all day and when I booted from fast boot and it just started boot looping again. Sigh.
Well that wasn't my last option so I am trying to stay positive. Is there a way to flash the stock rom on it and not lose my data? Honestly I have never flashed any roms before so this will be fun. lol
I really appreciate everyone's help.

Google up on House of Moto, its a CMD/Shell based tool that allows you to flash a FXZ with the "keep data" option. Let me know if you have any specific questions regarding HOM once you DL

Fast boot without the adapter connected to the PC says Battery Low (charging)
Fast boot with the adapter connected to the PC says Battery OK
Fast boot with/without adapter plugged into the wall says Battery Low
With the adapter and plugged into my PC I can boot into the phone and the battery widget still says 1%.
The battery icon that pops up during the boot loop still says 0%
Ok I am just getting off work now so I will give that a try once I get home. Crossing my fingers and hoping this works.

Ok I wasn't able to mess with it yet cuz I got called into my other job. I hope to play with it some after I get home today but I need to mow my lawn first.
It fell on it's side actually.
My OPO is having a reboot issue, was on cos13, cm14.1 and ubuntu with mutirom,
Symptoms
1. the phone stays on if connected to a charger or powerbank.
and without charger it bootloops at the 1+ logo
2. in switched off state, when charger is connected the battery sometimes shows 0% and increases to 100%
3. with charger i entered cm recovery, removed the charger, the phone stayed all night long with cm recovery menu display on.
after draining the battery, i plugged back charger and the phone in switched off state did show the regular charging animation and took the usual time to full charge.
after full charge I removed the charger, tried to power on the phone boot loops at 1+ logo.
4. without charger it can enter fastboot mode.
5. with charger it can boot into os, shows charging, led lit up, but after removing charger it won't stay long, also if opening camera it turns off.
6. even on powerbank it can boot up and stay switched on. and work normally (camera etc anything)
(7. while turned off and on charger the animation shows charging but the top led isn't on.) - I don't remember it lighting up on charging while switched off
8. the night before this issue occured, my phone rebooted twice while watching youtube. and in the previous nights also I noticed battery dropping overnight.
what all I tried,
1. fastboot flashed cos, - not solved
2. flashed using Qualcomm USB port tool - not solved.
3. ran the make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 command in twrp. - not solved.
4. erased and flashed persist.img - not solved.
so what could be the problem, opo is now my secondary phone, now using op3 as primary.
The battery is at its end of its life....replace the battery and all your problem will be gone...
you're not the only one that have experiences this problem (i have seen more then 10 people having the same problem)...last year and this year there a lot of people having bootloop problem due to dying battery...factory reset, flash stock rom and etc won't help you solved this problem...
i personally have this problem last year and after i replace the battery all my problem gone...i think Oneplus made OPO batteries only lasted for 2 and a half year....

thanks for the reply i guessed that, but still wasn't sure, can it be also due to any issues to board, anyway since i've done with flashing and all i'll try an OP service center, and hope it won't costs me big.

Nope it is not issues with the motherboard but batteries...the phone can be turn on like normal when charger is connected and goes into bootloop once the charger is disconnected....its a clear sign that the battery is dying...when it connected to the charger, it may look like the battery is full but it is not...just buy a new battery and all your problem will be gone...you can try flashing lot of rom, revert to stock or whatever you do in fastboot but it ain't gonna help you...it might boot normally but within an hour it will goes back to bootloop....
like i said before i was on the same pages as you last year...all the flashing stuff didn't work until i replace the battery....there no issues with the motherboard whatsoever....my phone still work atm without any bootloop problem...
feel free to go to OP services center if you want, if they tell you it was a motherboard issues then you have been screwed by the services center by repairing something that is still in good condition and you gonna pay more then just a batteries afterwards...

I have almost exactly the same problem. The thing is I cannot find a way to enter multirom recovery even on a charger. When on a charger it tries to boot into my primary rom but gets stuck on it endlessly.
Are you sure its the battery? I mean, mine charges to 100% when plugged in and doesnt seem to have any problem with charging. Mine did it a few days ago, it went into a bootloop for no reason. I havent touched anything for a year and it happened so randomly and lost everything I had on it...

Hey dude Thanks a lot... I was facing exactly same issue for last 2 days... I bought OPO on Dec 5 th 2014... I think its battery only works 2 years...
@iPusak Gaoq™, tried to get a suitable battery online but the shipping charge killed most deals, some were even counterfeits, so finally I decided to visit an op service centre, they replaced the battery with a new one, now my OPO is good as new. thanks again.
I was just going to post, about my issue, but the forum suggested your post. I read the first post, and yes, I am facing the exact same problem. Taking a picture and the phone shuts off. Vibrating from getting a notification and restart.
And the saddest part, the phone won't boot into OS if is it not plugged to PC or AC power.
My Opo is almost two years old. Can you suggest a good battery replacement for me?

Hard to suggest which batteries is good if you planning to bought it online cause there no way you can know whether the batteries you gonna buy is original or OEM...only when you bought the batteries in a retail store then you can see whether its original or OEM and yes the differences between both batteries is noticeable...

Hello All, Don't know whether posting in right thread or wrong!....
My OPO is almost 3 years old, it is rebooting automatically i.e Powered by Android screen showing & then again it will restart with the same. Continuously rebooting the same until long press the power button for force shutdown. I need a solution , kindly help me out.
Am not an software engineer to understand the programming terms, hence if you share line to line steps, i can try..

you still having OPO? Did issue resolve?
Hello, my niece brought me an faulty s6 and asked if i could fix it. Since i used to repair peoples phones a few years ago.
When i got it, it was completely dead, except a white light of doom on the led bulb when i tried to boot in DLmode/recovery. That later stopped lighting too. I then tried to change the battery for a new one. It didn't change a thing, so i thought it might be the charging port. So i got a qi charger...
So here we are, the qi charger tries to charge it (i can see the light animation for it). The phone gets warm but no sign of any juice to the battery..
Can't see any next steps that are worthwhile..
I would really like to get the data off the phone tho..
Any ideas?

Do you get any sign of life plugging into a pc? Adb is your best bet to get data but you need to be careful using it.

Nope, no life at all. Don't think I'll be able to salvage this one
