[Q] Moto G bricked - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My friend's Moto G has been acting really weird over couple of weeks, first it started freezing, then started to work really slow and now it doesn't want to boot into Android as it gets stuck on Motorola logo.
He hasn't done any rooting, changing ROMs whatsoever, the problem just came out of nowhere.
He's not able to boot into recovery as it gets stuck on Motorola logo.
What could be the cause of this?
Is there any way to fix it?
Thanks.

Thanks for reply, the warranty just finished a week ago. I'll try to reflash it through fastboot using this method here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 but doubt it will work.
Thanks.
EDIT: Reflashed Stock ROM and everything works fine, weird.

think i ruined my phone D:

hi all,
im brand new to this website, got my galaxy S a couple weeks ago and wanted to start customizing it, so i signed up.
anyway. i tried rooting my phone with the mac one click root, which originally worked, then i accidently unrooted it.. kinda. i can't boot into recovery mode so i booted into recovery from pressing unroot coz that force enters boot recovery mode.. it went bad from there
i tried to do the one click lag fix. there was an error and when i restarted the phone it would not boot up, also my boot animation was gone...
so lag fix didnt work and its screwed up my phone because now i cant use mac root/unroot at all, it just doesnt work.. has any one ANY suggestions? please!
thanks in advance.

[Q] Bricked my Blaze

About 9 months ago, I bricked my Blaze, and after giving up, I've been using a new phone in the interim.
Here's what happened:
Battery dies while flashing some rom, get boot loop, fix by flashing stock rom etc.
Flash Kit Kat Rom, phone immediately shuts off when unplugged, works fine plugged in.
Flash stock ROM, infinite boot loop, can get in the CWM recovery, but flashing stock rom, etc. dont stop boot loop
boot loop description : SGSB4G T-Mobile 4G Green Android Rocket Animation --> Glowing Samsung Logo ---> Repeat
I've tried numerous solutions since then but none have worked.
Please help. Winner gets $5.00 paypal bc this is literally the only problem I've never solved.
Your battery is probably bad, replace it and you won't have a problem.

I will see if I can try out a new battery at the store and test the results.
I have been skeptical as to whether the battery was the issue, as the boot loop animation would still work when it was unplugged.
Thanks for the response!

Moto G XT1032 hangs at boot Logo

Moto G XT1032 Bricked (?)
Hey! I'm gonna start off by saying I'm pretty much completely clueless when it comes to rooting, flashing, or doing pretty much anything with phones, so if this is a well known problem with an obvious solution and everything I dont know about it, I've been searching for ages to try and find something.
Anyway, the other week I was using my phone as normal, and it stopped responding to anything, so I held the power button to reboot it. Now, the phone won't boot beyond the blue Motorola boot logo no matter what I do. I've tried booting into recovery mode in order to wipe the partition cache and format it, but neither options seem to do anything after waiting about 45 minutes each for something to happen. Any tutorial I've found on the internet ends up not working for some reason or another half way through the steps. If anyone knows how I can sort this out it would be awesome.
I was on Lollipop 5.0.2 (i think), but I took it to a shop and I think they tried to flash the stock software on it but it still didn't fix it, but now I don't know what version of android my phone is running at the minute. I know that the bootloader menu is on version 41.18 if that means anything.
Cheers!

[Completed] Verizon LG G4 (5.1) stuck on Verizon Screen after boot

I rooted my phone not too long ago and today during a quick reset to update some modifications I made on Gravitybox, it has gotten stuck in a sort of boot loop. I've tried wiping the cache in modified recovery, booting in safe and download mode, and even resetting factory defaults. But every time I have tried those things, after the LG and android logo screen appear and the Verizon logo screen appears like during a normal boot, it appears the phone is stuck at that Verizon logo screen. I am thoroughly baffled as what to do, because I cannot even manage to get download mode.. I have looked thoroughly throughout the internet but cannot seem to find anyone who has had this problem, so, I decided that maybe someone here might know what to do.
Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide!

Possibly hardbricked moto G XT1033 Indian model.Please help.

Hello!
I recently flashed my Moto G with the unofficial LineageOS 16 rom by allstargaurav. Kudos to him for his work.
I unlocked my bootloader, got TWRP, flashed the rom, flashed Gapps,Magisk and started using it normally.
One night, after using it with the battery at 30%, I left it as it was and did not charge it.
The next day, I saw that it was not booting up at all. I plugged it in and the white led light started and did not go off.
The light was constantly on. I searched on google to no avail.
Nothing works and I have pressed the power button and power+volume down for more than 5 minutes.
I cant get to the fastboot menu or the TWRP, the phone doesnt power on at all so I cant do anything or get a logcat.
Please help!!!!
I also got the watchdogs boot animation. That is all I have modified.
Please tell me what is wrong and how to rectify it.
Please help quickly.
I am at wit's end and helpless. I should also mention that this was my first time flashing a rom on any device, but I followed the instructions very carefully.Before this the phone was on stock Lollipop rom, stock recovery and locked bootloader.
Thanking anyone who helps or even replies in advance.

Being unsure what the problem is, I also followed FabioSan's guide on unbricking the phone, but I got stuck on the part where we go to the device manager console as my PC would not recognise the phone no matter what I did.
Also, the warranty has expired long ago as the phone was bought in 2014 and it was only a 1year warranty.
Therefore, I am considering giving the phone to the moto support centre. I will also try replacing the battery as it may be a battery problem considering my symptom of the white light does not fit any hardbricked phone's symptoms. Will notify if it works.
Till then, please help and suggest what the problem might be.
