I need help guys i soft bricked my XT1031 Boost Mobile Moto G and im not sure how to bring it back i tried a couple of things but did not work. I can get it into recovery mode but when i plug it into my computer it doesnt show up i tried many different plugs although it does charge still beacause i can feel it getting warm and it stays at White screen with the Logo. If anyone can help me i would really highly appreciate it.
I'm assuming your boot loader is unlocked if you can get into a custom recovery. What android version and os is on it right now? If you haven't updated to the 5.0.1 soak test, try installing the stock 4.4.4 boost rom through fastboot

Good Afternoon all at XDA,
Hoping that somebody here will be able to help me. In december I unlocked my bootloader using some instructions found on your website.
This allowed me to install some apps that weren't available via google play and this worked great.
However, I finally got tired of not being able to use Online Banking apps with my unlocked bootloader, so decided to revert to the factory moto g image which I backed up before unlocking.
This left me stuck in a reboot loop. between the unlocked bootloader warning and an android with spinning metal cogs in its chest.
I tried some other images, found on this site, but was left either in a reboot loop, or with the Moto logo, and the phone occasionally emitting a vibrate every couple of seconds.
I have tried loading the images using the built in Motorola recovery and/or clockworkmod recovery.
The outcome has been the same or similar either a reboot loop or stuck on moto logo occasionally chirping the vibrate.
I feel like XT1039 is not the full model number of my phone, or that I'm missing something else.
Please could someone shed some light on which Rom I should be using, and a step by step of how to get my phone back to life.
Many Thanks
Vinny
I think you are in the wrong sub-forum. This is for the second gen moto g (xt1063-xt1069). Yours is the first gen moto g
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!
I have a rooted, unlocked Boost Moto g xt1031 CDMA with a flashed XT1031_Boost_US_51_Test2 which was running fine. I made a mistake and tried to restore some data for a game I play using recovery and since then my phone is stuck on boot animation, recovery is broken, and neither adb or flashboot see my phone.
Does anyone know if this is fixable and if it is how do I do it?
Thanks for any help.
Okay it's fixed
For those who may need this info, recovery wouldn't work because my battery was not charged enough. Once I let it charge up to 60% recovery worked fine and now so does my phone.
Hello guys.
I apologize for making yet another "my phone is soft-bricked" thread, but I have been through at least 20-25 of the other threads, seemingly tried everything, and I can't get past my problem. Also, most of the other threads I saw are pretty old and not really active anymore. A few of the tools there can't even be downloaded anymore because the links are dead.
Anyway, here's my story.
I have a 16 GB US retail XT1032 that I bought mostly to give tech support to my parents, whom I also bought a 8GB each. Theirs, I left untouched. Mine, I unlocked bootloader and rooted right away. All went well for a long time.
My parents kept receiving OTA's and it took them all the way to Lollipop. Me being rooted, I got stuck in KitKat somewhere (I'm not 100% sure whether that was in 4.4.2 or 4.4.4), but since it wasn't my daily driver, I let it lie as stock rooted KitKat. Recently I wanted to go to Lollipop in order to keep seeing "the same things" as my parents, and I installed TWRP in preparation to flash a "stock enhanced" version of Lollipop. TWRP flashed fine but there was something funny all along: I could use ADB or a root app to boot into recovery from the ROM, but I could never manage to get the phone to go into recovery by booting into fastboot (vol down+power) and then choosing recovery. Screen would go black and recovery would never load.
So I copied a "stock" Lollipop image and booted into TWRP from the ROM and wiped everything and tried flashing the Lollipop ROM. It got stuck somewhere part way, and a few hours later there was no more progress.
Ever since then, I am stuck in fastboot. Fastboot seemingly works correctly, recently I was able to flash an OG animation to get rid of the nasty "your bootloader is unlocked" warning. I can flash recoveries (TWRP and/or CWM) without error on the phone or the computer, but when I try to then boot into recovery using the bootloader, I get stuck on the black screen and go nowhere.
As others in the various threads have commented, when I try to boot "normally", I get the boot animation and a vibration and then it gets stuck.
I have tried so many things by reading different threads I couldn't tell you anymore what all of them were. I've gotten errors about downgrading, I've gotten stuck in fastboot reason: "failed flash", I've gotten flashing errors about the size of recovery or boot or gpt. What I've never managed to do again is to boot into anything other than bootloader. No recovery and no ROM.
Could someone with a bit of experience please point me to some working links and/or when you have the time, help me look at a couple of logs or something that can help me figure out where my problem lies and how to get out of it? my daily driver phablet died a gruesome death and I wanted to go back to my trusty moto g, to no avail.
Thank you very much to whomever can help.
Ruben.
Try to reflash full stock firmware for your device according to your bootloader version. Hope it helps....
Try typing in fastboot devices
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.
