I tried to turn off the phone by by pressing the power button for 10 sec as directed in the guide on the development section. But all that did was restart the phone. So i turned it off with the regular method then tried to get into fastboot with power+vol down; But all the phone did was just boot normally to the stock ROM.
PS. I am trying to unlock the bootloader to install costum roms.
Thanks for helping
Go to settings > power > make sure "fast boot" is unchecked

Try that
I like to power down the phone then hold the decrease volume rocker then power on the phone. I've never run into any issues so this a pretty foolproof methodology in my experience.

Have You Tried POWER And VOLUME UP Buttons For At Least 10 Seconds? This Should Be Work.
Hey,
i have managed to brick my phone :\
ive flashed the Kingcobra 1.5 on top of 1.4.1
when i rebooted, got my screnn stuck on the "this build is for development...."
cant get the adb to do nothing cuz it says ** daemoon stil not running error **
(the phone is still on, no way to turn it off)
when im pressing the VOL down & power (or just power for 10 sec) alltogether i cant reach the fastboot screen...
i've waited for the battery to fully drain, charged it once again without powering it on, and then using the adb
at the beginning when i tried to erase c
sorry for the misspelled words im kinda nervous :\
anyone can help me? any more info i get give..?
THANKS!
EDIT: attached the status that i have right now on my phone
Just press and hold the power button for 15 seconds or so. It should power off. Then press n hold vol - and power. Only hold the power button for 2-3 seconds, then release it while still holding vol -

No problem....u can add [RESOLVED] to thread title if u like glad it worked out for ya.:beer:
Hey guys,
I unlocked my TF700T using the Asus unlock tool, then rooted it with Kingo App.
I opened a terminal on the device and ran "su" to verify that I had root, which worked I did.
I then installed com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup ("Titanium Backup ★ root") and began a full backup, but at 65% my Internet connection dropped (not sure if related, but interesting timing) and the system froze. After 10 minutes at 65% I powered off the device in an attempt to reset.
However, the device now will not start. The screen remains unlit. Charge LED will not light. Holding Power for 6 seconds and holding Power + VolDown result in a short (500ms?) vibrate, but nothing more.
I have not yet tried a paperclip reset, or connecting the dock. I have tried connecting to both USB and power. With USB, Windows 8 detects it as a crashed device (no surprise there) and fails to install a driver.
I suspect I'm hosed, but I'd be interested to learn why.
Any theories or suggestions?
---
Android 4.2.1
Firmware V10.6.1.14.10
Same behavior with dock connected.
After connecting power through the dock, the charge LEDs have both lit.
Ah just re-read and realised you only get a vibration but no screen..... Bummer - not sure what to suggest for that one.
Well, thanks for trying
Sell it for parts, I reckon.

Since you don't have much options, you can try these. I think that there were a few users were running into this problem and tried this. Some reported back that it was not working and some did not say anything. So I don't know if it works or not but you could give it a shot.
Try these combinations:
1. Hold the power button + volume up. You will feel the first vibration and keep holding both buttons until you feel the second vibration. As soon as you feel the second vibration, you need to release the volume up button But you must keep holding the power button. You need to hold the power button until you feel the third vibration. The third vibration is when your device is trying to boot up. You may want to try a few times with those sequences above in hope that it will bring up your bootloader.
2. If the above sequences don't work out for you, you can try this second solution. However, you need to hold both power button + volume down this time with those sequences above. Please report back with the outcome, thanks and good luck...:fingers-crossed:
Ok. I am writing here since it was suggested. I am having a major issue and unsure how to fix it. The following is the issue and steps taken thus far with no resolve. Hopefully someone else has an answer to assist me. I really need this phone to work as it is my lifeline.
Star is I have all updated firmware, rom, and even updated xtended settings. I have today also installed the viper sound for the first time. I will say I have settings changed throughout with all the variations. Xtended settings, nusense toolbox, vipersound, normal settings, and Xposed framework.
What is happening is the phone needed a reboot. It shows the splashscreen and then shuts off. It will not fully boot. I have tried to hold the power vol/up buttons together and quickly vol/down. But that does not work. Now I have also tried adb and attempted to find the device but with no power seemingly it is not able to work.
Anyone have suggestions I might try? Please advise.I have even attempted adb but the pc does not see the device since it never gets fully turned on. It is a splashscreen and then dead. Really wish there was a way to get it to just turn on for access somehow. Anyone have a suggestion?
Have you tried holding the power button and up button till you get into fastboot?

I have actually held the button where it will only show the splashscreen and then show a bit of the TWRP recovery screen. However I cannot pick anything from the menu before it goes to the battery icon showing it is simply charging. I really have no clue what is needed to be done now. I am surprised it has let me get that far without just turning off again. But this was done by holding the volume button up and down and power button all at the same time.
Do you have any other suggestions since it is not being seen by adb on the pc?

It should let you get into the bootloader if it gets you to the splashscreen @Tigerstown any ideas?

Unplug your phone. Then hold power and volume up for 30 seconds. Plugged in you are hitting the twrp bug.
Edit... After unplugging wait 20 seconds before attempting to boot it.

I have a Moto G XT1034 that is stuck in a boot loop. I am not able to get to fastboot or recovery, it just keeps rebooting over and over again. It started at about 50% battery, now it's at 0% even though it's been plugged in for most of that time. This device has an unlocked bootloader, is rooted, and has been running kitkat for almost a year. Nothing that I can think of has changed today.
Things I have tried:
Holding vol up + vol down + power for 4 seconds
Holding vol down + power for 4 seconds
Holding power for 120 seconds
Letting the battery drain completely, and then plugging it in. It just starts with the reboot cycle again.
Any ideas?
That doesn't seem right. Try holding volume down and power for longer than 4 seconds.
Here's a video of me holding vol down + power for 120 seconds, as advised in Q28 of this sticky. Doesn't get me to fastboot.
I have a second moto g here, and have swapped the batteries, so the broken one has a fully charged battery. The bootloop continues when fully changed. Video here. Holding vol down + power for a few seconds, or 120 seconds also doesn't do anything when fully charged.

flash costom recovery....using adb fastboot command
Thanks for the replies.
I am not able to power it off. I have found two ways of "powering off" which are to either let the battery drain, or to hold buttons during the black screen part of the boot loop.
If I wait for the black screen part of the boot loop, and quickly press vol down + power, it will stay black as long as I'm holding those buttons. If I hold them for 4 second and release, it then enters the boot loop a few seconds later. If I hold them for 120 seconds and release, it does the same thing a few seconds after releasing.
I am not able to open an adb connection to the device. "adb devices" shows no devices in all phases of the boot loop.
To predict future concerns, I have the proper drivers, and have used adb quite a bit to work with this device. Also I can use adb on the second moto g with no problems. So my pc is set up and configured correctly.

Just remember to acess it when you have time to do all the tutorials that I've linked. Doing it with attention probably will solve your problem;
:good:
BobDiaz thanks for the suggestion. I still can't get to fastboot though, so this never does anything other than "waiting for device" If i plug in my second moto g, of course, then mfastboot works fine once I boot into fastboot.

in black screen you must do vol+power process 2 times..... first time nothing happen... in second time you press the power+ volume down the fastboot menu is shown...
That's very strange. Makes me think there's a hardware problem. The only point I can mention (sure you've tried this, but just to be sure) is to keep it simple: if your phone doesn't reboot after holding the power button down for about 10 seconds (with or without pressing the vol down button), then you almost certainly have hit a hardware issue. Especially if you've taken the lengths of swapping batteries and not seeing a difference.
I know that with my 1st gen Moto G, when I'm stuck in a boot loop after too much mucking around, I just hold vol down and power for ten or so seconds, and then it boots into fastboot mode. That's how the phone was designed. Best of luck.
Correction: the phone shuts down in just over ten seconds, and when it does I let go of the power button but continue holding the volume down key for several more seconds before I reach fastboot. As well, since I'm about to use fastboot, I've always got my phone plugged into USB when I do this. But, I just tried it unplugged, and it worked the same.
Try pulling the battery then holding up on volume and power button and home same time

Hi TracvisTx, T
I just ran into exactly the same issue as you have mentioned here.
After doing downgrade from Lollipop to Kitkat, my moto g is stuck at bootloader warning. It power on's, gets stuck on warning, reboots. Does not charge to more than 0%.
I was wondering if you could come out of this issue and how? I am also unable to enter into fastboot mode! I have tried all the described combinations of power + vol (up/down) buttons.
Please help.
Thanks,
@beerbarfly - Hold vol down (or up) while turning on wall charger.

You said the phone is bootlooping - hold vol down (or up) immediately after reboot.

lost101,
The screen blanks out, then it shows battery charging (0%), then goes to "bootloader unlocked warning" and then back to black screen.
In all this, even if you keep vol + power buttons pressed, nothing happens.
Infact, if it is in blacked-out screen step, and i keep these buttons pressed, it remains in black-out, does not even go to charging screen....
Looks like that is what is called as bricked phone

Only hold either Vol up or down - forget about power button.
