[Q] Moto G Stuck in Bootloop; Can't access fastboot, recovery, adb - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Moto G (1032) that was running CM11.
The phone's been sitting idle for a little while and I tried to power it on today and it appears to be toast.
It's stuck in an endless bootloop with the CM logo.
I can't access fastboot to boot into recovery, or flash a different rom.
When I hold the Power + Vol Down button, the menu to access fastboot/recovery appears for less than a second (not long enough for me to select anything) as soon as I release the buttons.
Anyone have any suggestions, or is this a paper weight?
Thanks in advance.

My sister's moto g is practically at the same state except it was running stock lollipop (never installed any custom roms in it). It's just in a bootloop: the M logo (powered by android) appears, then it vibrates a little and then restarts to do the same thing over and over... If I press vol- and power it never enters fastboot mode so it's literally stuck on a bootloop... Were you able to fix yours? Anyone else has any ideas?

[Q] Triumph stuck at moto logo, cant get into clockworkmod

Ok so today my triumph stopped responding so i restarted it (took out the battery). then rebooted. upon reboot phone shuts down and now will hang at the motorola logo for about 10 min before boots but will shut back down due to the battery being dead(but had full charge when this started). Dont know what happened. So i try to get into clockworkmod to flash backup. cant get into it. the only thing i can do is get to the recovery.img file(pressing power+volume down). Other than that nothing.
also tried to boot with power pluged in. it stayed on but would not respond to any touches or button press except the lock button.
I have cwm 5.0.2.6 installed and tickerguy's cm7.
never had this problem till today. Any help would be appreciated.
a new development has occurred. now when i try to access recovery, the phone will just vibrate without stopping.
and i believe its stuck in a boot loop but without recovery i dont know anyway to exit the loop.
Are you able to get into download mode (power off then simultaneously press power button & vol- (should show polling))

Yes i am able to get to download mode
Well after some tinkering (replacing the recovery image, assuming something corrupted it) i can now get to recovery, still takes 10 min to load it though. But i am unable to do anything in recovery because i have to press the menu button to confirm selection but the buttons wont respond. Some help would be appreciated.

[Q] Stuck at Fastboot screen

Good day all, as the title states the phone is stuck at the fastboot screen, won't power on unless its plugged into my laptop and the volume or power keys don't work, this all started because I had a rom flashed, it lagged and got stuck in landscape mode and the power button stopped working, I go to flash a new rom (i'm assuming the download or whatever was bad and phone would get stuck after Google Logo) now it will only power on and go into fastboot if I press Volume up + power but the volume keyes won't work, any help is appreciated

[Q] LG G2 Soft Brick after OTA...Help?

Just took the Lollipop OTA update from stock 4.4.2. Upon completion my phone rebooted and is stuck on the LG boot logo. I tried entering download mode (holding volume up button and plugging phone into computer) but my phone doesn't enter it. Attempting to power off the phone doesn't work either, since the phone just powers off for a second and turns back on to the boot logo. I tried factory reset (power + volume down) and after proceeding with the reset the phone is still stuck on boot logo. What should I do?

You can power off if you hold power button longer. wait till logo appears, and still hold, till it gone away second time, and hold even a little longer.
Turns off but still stuck at logo when turned on

I have the same problem with the friend who posted first. There is no way on how to get to fastboot mode and when turned on it just restarts and back to logo. Hard reset is the only thing it allows me to try but no result. Any possible way to get to fastboot or download mode??? Help somebdyy

After i flashed the Lollipop firmware, it looked like the phone got stuck with LG logo but i gave it good 5 to 6 minutes and all was fine. The phone just needed to breathe a little.

[Q] 1st gen moto g stuck in unlocked bootloader screen after wiping all data, no os

My moto g was attempting to install lollipop on my rooted 4.4 and i idiotically wiped all my data through TWRP (?) and rebooted my phone with no OS even when i was warned By a warning screen. Now my phone is stuck on the white unlocked bootloader screen and when i hold down the power button and the volume down button, it just goes back to the unlocked bootloader screen. Can i do anything? Idc about any data on it but id love just my stock phone working. Thanks for any help.

If you are still facing the problem, press & hold power + vol down button. It will turn your phone off briefly for 2-3 seconds & immediately again press & hold power + vol down button for about 5 seconds. Release it & this should take you to bootloader. And since you flashed twrp you might be familiar with pushing & flashing a rom from recovery.

Unusual bootloop - can't access recovery OR fastboot but loops on "optimzing apps"

Unusual bootloop - can't access recovery OR fastboot but loops on "optimzing apps"
I had my US version OpO 64GB working with CM12 for quite a while, rooted and bootloader unlocked with TWRP (possibly 2.8.6) installed, then some months ago I tried upgrading to CM12.1 through CM updater. This failed miserably - The phone started bootlooping on "Optimizing apps n of N" - as soon as it finished optimizing apps, the phone would reboot and start optimizing again. Booting to safe-mode (Power + VolUpDown) also fails in the same way (though optimizing fewer apps).
I tried rebooting to recovery mode holding Power + VolDown but it just gives a quick buzz (vibration motor) at the "1+" screen and reboots. The same thing happens when I try to boot to fastboot mode with Power + VolUp. So I'm completely stuck. All the guides show being able to boot either to fastboot or recovery (soft-brick) or else the screen being completely black/unresponsive (hard-brick). My phone is neither of these!
I got frustrated enough that I've let it sit on the shelf for the past 6 months, but now I'd like to fix this. All help appreciated.

Did you try clearing the cache and doing a factory reset ?

That's impossible for me to do since I can't get to launcher or recovery.
No acess to recovery?? Then better take it to service center... Atleast can u boot to fastboot mode or adb accesible then use oneplus one toolkits
---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
Install oneplus tool kit, while optimising apps it gets dectected by pc, just make it reboot mode & do reset.... Dnt worry this can be fixed, if all these seems messy then take it to service center

while things are loading, have u tried to hold vol up + power for 10 seconds or until the screen turns off and then hold vol down + power button until the oneplus logo?

Yes, just tried it. Same thing as described in my original post. When I hold power+volup the screen goes blank. I switch to power+voldown until the 1+ logo. At that point:
1. If I continue to hold the power+voldown key through the 1+ logo, the screen goes blank briefly, the phone vibrates once and reboots. If I continue to hold the power+voldown key, the vibrate&reboot cycle continues indefinitely
2. If I let go of either the power button, the voldown button, or both at or before the 1+ logo, the phone boots normally and goes to "Android is starting... Optimizing app n of 119). When the optimization finishes, the phone instantly reboots.
It's like the phone recovery is gone or inaccessible. Could this have to do with the phone tampering setting? As I said, I had this phone rooted and bootloader unlocked, working fine with CM12 for some time before trying an in-place upgrade to 12.1. That's when things went south.
