I haven't seen this written anywhere yet but I've found something weird with the TWRP loop, months back I used the asus system wipe and got stuck in the TWRP loop because I supposedly erased all the data and file structures on my system but every now and then I keep checking for fixes and playing around with the tablet, today I charged it up again and went into TWRP, on the PC (win 7) ran the cmd "ADB reboot bootloader", for the hell of it I chose the middle option, the android, is said cold booting linux, the chrome asus logo came up with the spinning dot animation and I just waited and then it began updating my app's and my system loaded right up, everything was there. There's no sd-card in the external slot so it's pulling straight from the tablet, wifi connected, all my apps began updating from the marketplace, I can download, TWRP just says the tablet is blank. It seems to have no root access anymore though, hopefully this can be helpful. Also if I reboot it goes right back to TWRP but if I run the reboot bootloader cmd and choose the android it starts right back up without having to update everything again.

so if you can get to bootloader. why dont you fastboot flash the blob file for the latest update? this would install system and new bootloader and stock recovery. from there regaining control of tablet. then just fastboot flash twrp and flash a custom rom....just a thought but if your getting into bootloader you should be able to flash blob.
I tried that right when I saw fast boot coming up, nothing would go through, I did fix it by using the method posted by Buster by using fast boot to systematically erase everything one by one then flash new firmware, just thought this info might be helpful, it's almost like twrp becomes a separate partition when you use asus wipe since everything is still there and bootable

I'm having issues and this won't help me. I flashed the JB version of twrp 2.5 instead of the 4.2 one and am getting a bootloop on the Asus screen. I reflash the update blob and it just doesn't boot

I figured it out. I downgraded my bootloader back to 4.1(I know it went because I had the fastboot USB icon back) flashed the correct recovery and wiped everything. My data partition got corrupted. Got back into a working environment and flashed 4.2.1 again, with the proper recovery.

Hello guys, having a bit of a dilemna here as only took the plunge to root today and is my first time in doing so. What I have done is updated to 4.4.2 KitKat OTA and then rooted my moto g. I used the superboot method and got the horrible pink screen and had to manually install supersu, however the device is rooted and obviously the bootloader is unlocked. I then proceeded to put everything back on my phone and then encrypted my phone.
However, I tried to get into recovery (stock) and was fronted with the on its back android with its belly open and red "!" in a triangle. I got this before I even unlocked to bootloader. Anyhow, I wanted to use a custom recovery so I could manage different ROMs in ROM manager etc, so I flashed CWM6046-MotoG44.img (CMW ver. 6.0.4.6) and all was swell.... until i wanted to make a backup.
I did a little searching around and was stumped until I found a post suggesting that CMW couldnt mount storage because the device was encrypted.
What I would like to know if at all possible; what would be the best course of action to take, as im unsure what will/could brick/break my device and as its encrypted I dont think adb commands are pushed as when flashing the recovery image, my device was listed in fastboot devices but not adb devices.
Should I flash a stock image and go from there, put everything back on yada yada yada and NOT encrypt the device, or....
Should I do a factory reset? will this brick my device/lose root access? or will I be able to re root?
I really appreciate any input you guys can give me, and for the meantime im just going to leave my device as it is and not flash anything else,
Many thanks and best regards,
voosh
Anybody have any ideas?
Can anybody help me here. Need to get this sorted so I can flash a custom ROM. Thanks

When you get the dead android hold power button for ten seconds then tap the power button,that should get you into stock recovery ,then navigate to wipe data factory reset ,you shouldn't lose root but you will lose da ta and apps
Thanks for the reply but I have already installed the cwm custom recovery. Should I add that I'm still able to access device, my problem mainly is getting rid of encryption as I can't use cwm while device is encrypted and can only do so by factory reset or flashing a stock ROM, but unsure of which option to take. Many thanks and best regards

I did get a dead robot. So I flashed CWM custom recovery. I now get the cwm recovery and options, but I can't make a backup becausey filesystem is encrypted, so would like to know the best way to decrypt by means of flashing a new or ROM or simply doing a factory reset within tho phones menus.

OK,you need to boot into cwm and choose the wipe data factory reset option from cwm, I tried to wipe my phone before from the phones menu and because it had a custom recovery it didn't work,but if you boot cwm-wipe data/factory reset it will remove encryption.
Any luck???

Sorry, I fell asleep lol was a long day.
Going to try it now and will keep you posted, Cheers.
EDIT - Didnt work - failed to mount storage because "android secure"
Factory reset within the phone also didnt work - The phone reset and the android with the blue thing in its stomach was stuck in a loop, probably because of custom recovery.
Is there a stock recovery I can flash to factory restore the phone?
EDIT 2 - Flashed this recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578243
Now when I boot into recovery it just boots into the phone regularly. When performing a factory reset now the android doesnt even appear and the phone boots regularly again, still encrypted

What exactly did you do with the phone?
you don't need USB debugging to flash stock images. Your phone just need to be able to boot into fastboot and have the bootloader unlocked.
What happens when you press/hold power button for 20 seconds?
USB debugging is an ANDROID setting therefore only works or applicable when you are booted into Android

My phone is stuck at boot animation
I am in a dire need to your help. i just got my phone to stuck in the boot animation. This is what happened
i had a nexus 5 for 6 months, it was rooted and had xpose framework installed. Yesterday i updated my xpose app to the latest and installed an xpose module "Call blocker". but after one day use, i realized that it was making my nexus slow and i was suffering from low performance. So today i decided to uninstall this app, by going into settings>apps>call blocker and uninstalled it from there. Just after that i rebooted by phone, but it got into the boot loop (reboot after finishing the boot animation).
This is what is already tried:
I downloaded the nexus 5 image from google and extracted it. I flashed all the stock images (from bootloader) but now my phone is stuck at boot animation. i also installed CWM recovery and formatted system, data, cache and all options that were available, after that i flashed it again with stock images, but still stuck in the boot animation (circles keep on spinning forever).
Please guide me... I can't think of any more ways

Are you sure you have flashed all the stock images? If so, then head to the stock recovery and perform a factory reset and then reboot. It should boot up.

If you unlocked the bootloader your data's already gone. Nothing you can do about it. Just flash the factory images and move on.

I don't think you understand (or I don't understand). Unlocking the bootloader would have wiped the pics you wanted to recover.

Yeah if these are pics from before you unlocked, and you unlocked the normal way, ie. "fastboot oem unlock", then they are gone. There is nothing to try, your phone was wiped during the unlock process.
try flashing the boot.img
Sometimes Nexus stucks at the boot loop due to kernel failure .
Go to bootloader and then put a custom kernel ( franco or Elemental X ) and then
Boot to recovery flash the kernel you just put in the device storage.
If your device boots up then you still will have all the images ( data ) after the time of unlocking the bootloader.
You don't want to have a custom kernel you can flash the stock kernel ie in the factory image itself.
Code : fastboot flash boot boot.IMG
And this flashes the stock kernel
This works only if have the kernel problem.

His system was wiped during the unlocking process. Don't give him false hope, his pics are gone.
I read somewhere someone recovering pictures after unlocking the bootloader (dont remember if it was galaxy nexus, nexus 4 or nexus 5). But I didnt find it.
He knows that unlocking which erases all data. All data stored in the device AFTER unlocking can be recovered .
That's what I was saying
Thank you for your advice,,,

It's not unclear at all. The phone was wiped when the bootloader was unlocked. There are no more pics. They are gone, deleted, wiped...they do not exist anymore. I don't get why that's so hard to understand.
Why did you sell the device ?

try this
boot into recovery
adb shell
mount -a
now,look around and find the files you want to save. Then type exit to exit out of the shell and return to your PCs shell or command prompt (depending on if your running windows or linux) Suppose you want to save the file /sdcard/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20150101_101045.jpg
use the command
pull /sdcard/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20150101_101045.jpg
This should copy the file to your PC.
EDIT: I see you wiped. The data is not going to be recoverable unless your the FBI. (So when the FBI comes to the door,if you think that throwing your phone on the usb cable and running Autoroot while your girlfriend is flushing the cocaine down the toilet will keep them from finding those pictures,your going to be in for a surprise at your arraignment )
My Moto G (XT1033) 1st Gen with stock lollipop has stuck in a boot loop.
I am still able to go in to recovery mode. Have tried clearing cache, but that didn't seem to work.
I don't have CWM installed it's pure android as stock have installed updates only through OTAs.
Have googled about it and many are stating that a factory reset will solve the issue. But I don't want to lose data in the phone.
Main reason for the boot loop could be App as I use beta versions of Facebook, Whatsapp and Nova launcher from apkmirror.
What can be done to recover data or just get this boot loop fixed?
P.S: My device is not rooted and does not have any CWM or TWRP recovery.
I have got exactly the same issue yesterday itself. It was working fine, even received a call after which it was placed on a table. Picked up a few moments later & it was switched off. After that, whenever i'm trying to turn it on, its stuck on the M Logo - Powered by Android i.e Bootloop.
My phone was full stock and totally untouched as well. There weren't any apps installed from sources apart from Play Store. I'm able to access the stock recovery and tried clearing the cache but no respite. Whenever i try to factory format that, it gives an error of e:/could't mount /cache/recovery/xxxxxxxx errors.
I had read the forums for similar issues and got to know from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/moto-g-bootup-problem-recovery-mode-t3122492. The issue is cent percent same apart from the fact that i can access stock recovery.
Maybe @ravibhat & @lost101 can help us in this. I'm not worried about getting the data but bringing the phone back to life is more important for me !! Please help.

oh okay mate. I have been googling for such issue but the mostly suggested method is reset that I haven't done (not to lose data). Will wait for a day if I get any solution otherwise will reset it.
Let me know what happened to your phone. Hope it gets fixed soon
okay so here's the update. Was successful to take backup as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426426
And made factory reset after that but now it is still getting stuck on bootloop with M logo and powered by android screen. :crying:
I gave my phone to the service center guys today for reflashing the firmware. They were unable to do and suggested a motherboard replacement for which i obviously refused as they asked for ~INR 8000 as charges. So will start experimenting with it now and hope so i'm able to bring back to life.
What i'm planning is:
1. Flash Custom Recovery.
2. Wipe entire phone.
3. Flash stock ROM.
Will keep updating if i'm able to manage anything
EDIT : Did everything mentioned above but the phone is having same fate as before @krunalshah68. It gets stuck on the M Logo :crying: The internal memory although is being shown as 5xxx MB in TWRP unlike 0 Mb earlier.
Unlock Bootloader (if not already done) and flash twrp - mfastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Alternatively you can boot into twrp without flashing: mfastboot boot twrp.img
Download twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2980621
Then via PC, do the following wipe: (requires working ADB setup - google it)

Thank you for you reply mate. :good:
I have somehow managed to backup data by script. but the problem is now even after resetting it is still stuck into bootloop.
But I am a bit confused here in steps.
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Flash custom recovery like TWRP and clear dalvik cache
3) and then flash any custom rom
correct me if I am wrong. I am going to follow these steps. @lost101
Phone started! yeeey!
So heres the update bro @BBThumbHealer.
Unlocked bootloader.
Flashed TWRP.
Cleared cache/dalvik cache/data.
Flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/nx-nexus-experience-rom-10-0-3-ambient-t3268555/
And device is working smooth as silk now and that too with Marshmallow !:fingers-crossed:
Let me know your status bro. Hope I could help you in some way
@krunalshah68 : Great to know bro that ur phone is as good as new now .. Many congratulations
As far as mine is concerned, did the following :
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. Flashed TWRP Recovery v3.0.2
3. Using mfastboot, flashed stock 5.0.2 and the phone booted up successfully finally !!
But now here's the catch, the phone once flashed up with a rom boots up fine for a single time only. Within that time frame, every damn thing works fine. Able to browse the net, configure apps & settings , blah blah etc etc ... every single thing. But as soon as i restart the phone, the rom fails to startup. It gets stuck on the boot loop.
Initially i thought the rom might have been corrupt, but then i tried the following roms:
1. Stock 5.1 Optimized as posted by @lost101
2. crDroid CM 13 6.0.1
And again the same fate was met.
And yes, i've been installing the above roms by flashing the zips in twrp. After every flash, cleared dalvik, cache & data.
Maybe the fellow members @lost101 @ravibhat can give some insight what's happening ! :crying :
Hello guys, My phone is stuck on bootloop
I have already rooted device and now it is stuck on bootloop even the Recovery isn't opening. I know I would have to reset the phone with mfastboot but I want my internal storage to be backed up before doing all this Is there anyway to do so? Anyone here can help me out?
@sahil_arora05 : if you are able to access the bootloader mode, with the help of mfastboot, flash the latest version of twrp for moto g (mfastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img). After that, connect an otg disk to ur handset, boot into twrp and you'll be able to see all your files in the internal storage using the inbuilt file explorer for twrp. With that you can copy all ur data from the handset to the otg drive.

@sahil_arora05 Use mfastboot. It's been specifically designed for Moto devices as the regular fastboot is reportedly having some issues with Moto mobiles (read this on some XDA post itself)
@krunalshah68 : waiting for your suggestions to get my device up & running like urs

Ok going to try that. Is there anyone who can provide me a link to download STOCK recovery for moto G xt1033. Can't find that.
@sahil_arora05 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649763 : Select XT1033 and from there u can choose the stock recovery for Asian model.

Thank you @BBThumbHealer.
Damn man that's the basic steps that you are following and that too pretty neat and right. Even though it is causing issues then there might be some other hardware bug may be ! Hope your phone gets started soon!
Hi Guys,
phone : Moto G (XT1033), Falcon
- stuck in bootloop
- able to go to recovery
- unable to flash custom recovery such as twrp or cwm
- as suggested,
1. Unlocked the bootloader successfully, can see code status = 3 in recovery mode
mfastboot oem unlock <CODE>2. Unable to flash twrp. It writes successfully but shows stock recovery only
mfastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-falcon.img3. so tried booting twrp using with success
mfastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-falcon.img4. cleaned cache, dalvik etc.
5 using twrp, used ADB which enables MTP which let me transfer Android6.0.1_NX_R10.3.3_MotoG2013.zip to internal memory
6 Using twrp to flash ROM - Android6.0.1_NX_R10.3.3_MotoG2013.zip
It seems it started installing but its been more than one hour and it seems its still doing something.
It has stuck at - "Patching system image unconditionally..."
is this normal? Did I miss anything?
Appreciate help in advance. thank you for your time...
Best Regards,
Jignesh
