(suggested on motorola website)Reboot - 10 seconds
(suggested on motorola website)Reboot - 120 seconds power button
Erased cache using fastboot - works.
Recovery mode : I got “bootup failed”
ADB not able to detect the device.Fastboot can.
PC able to detect USB but as a “Falcon Device”
WHAT I WANT :
I want to get a copy of all my internal SD Card data,eg : photos,Contacts,WhatsApp folder,etc.
Flashing it in any way that causes data loss would be my last option.
Besides,i don't have relevant experience and would be asking a friend who has experience with this stuff.
What I found out :
Bootloader UNLOCK will wipe all my internal memory user data.
To root the phone,I’ll have to UNLOCK the Bootloader.
ADB can be used to backup using PUSH,PULL (may or may not require Android USB Debugging enabled)
Battery drained to 0% from 75% in one night when i kept the phone in the blank but bright screen mode.
STEPS AHEAD :
Service Centre Visit (Saturday) - Problem Detection -> Won’t be giving the phone since they might damage the data in a situation where it can be recovered.
More Research about such cases and solutions?
Eg : Battery replacement,re-adjustment.
Any way to make it appear as a storage volume on PC?
Any links,suggestions,etc. can
Motorola Support Says :
Service Centre can help
ADB Reqd to recover data
Or use backup software (how can I do this when i am not able to boot :| )
Went to a Service Centre today,they said they will have to "download" software to the phone to check for problems
So my data will be lost.
So I am currently searching for more solutions.
ANY ADVICE,TIP,COMMENT or even a positive post would be really appreciated.THANKS FOR READING
Do you have a custom recovery installed? If not, try installing TWRP from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2980621
Then use the following ADB command: adb pull /sdcard c:/Motog_backup
Thanks for reading and giving your suggestion
I've never rooted,flashed or unlocked my device,no major modifications as well.
So no custom recovery.
I tried what you suggested but it didn't work for now.
Here's what I got :
Maybe because of the LOCKED Bootloader.
ADB doesn't detect my device probably because i don't have debugging enabled.
Thanks Again @lost101

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

Hey @lost101,
I'll be using the firmware for XT1033 (Asia-Retail 5.0.2) since the one i have is the dual-sim version.
I came across additional commands in this format:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash logo Moto-logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
<SYSTEM IMAGE FLASH FILES go here - 4 commands like you said here since it's Lollipop>
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
Since I want to save my data i won't be using "oem unlock" and "erase userdata" commands.
So,
a) Can you tell me if there's a specific reason you didn't add them?Will they damage or reset any of my data or affect user partition?
They were also mentioned by a few folks who are trying something similar while trying to protect their data.
I thought they were part of the process.
b) mfastboot or fastboot - will using the normal "fastboot".exe cause any problems?And so you suggest mfastboot?
And thanks a lot for helping me out

@ravibhat - the fastboot commands I mentioned are the only ones that should be necessary. Report back what happens, and if needed I will suggest additional commands.
mFastboot is preferred because it was created by Motorola for flashing these files. Traditional fastboot may fail to successfully flash the files, and often does.
Hey @lost101!
Man,i tried the commands you mentioned first,didn't work.
Also tried it with the other commands,still no result.
Overall : i didn't get any errors except the ones where i tried to flash a custom recovery.
When i choose the "Recovery" option in the bootloader - I get "booting failed" error for both stock and custom recovery images.
Also,i couldn't directly boot using a custom recovery image file using the "boot" command.
Is it something to do with the files i used or...something else?
Any other tips?

@ravibhat - You mention in OP: ADB can be used to backup using PUSH,PULL (may or may not require Android USB Debugging enabled)
When is it working? While the Android is booting up? If so, you could pull the /sdcard/ during that time.
Regarding your previous post:
Mismatched Partition Size - is a normal error when flashing TWRP and can be ignored. It does not mean flashing has failed.
mfastboot is successfully flashing the Android ROM (system.img)Has anything changed if you let Android boot?
@lost101 :
ADB can be used but when i searched,USB Debugging Enabled seemed to be a per-requisite in almost all cases on XDA and other forums which I can't do right now since no access to settings.
Push,Pull can be used to backup and restore - tried this on an emulator (Bluestacks on PC) which was detected by it (image below).
My driver is :
I'm not sure if it's the right one or not,no way to test it except testing with "adb devices" in command line but fastboot works so i guess it is.
Fastboot works well in the bootloader,it was able to flash all system images including the ROM.
I am not sure whether this device is hard-bricked since i haven't tried the "fastboot erase userdata command".
No change in the Android boot up process - it's the same issue as before.
It took a little more time (5-10 seconds more to arrive at the blank but lit screen as in the video mentioning the problem) after those 4 commands but that was most likely due to stocking the new firmware.
What bothers me is that i am unable to boot into recovery directly or boot into it after flashing.
It shows "boot up failed" even for the flashed recovery.

There is another command: adb reboot recovery
I am no longer clear. Can you access stock recovery mode? Power on while holding Vol up?
@lost101 :
adb doesn't work as i mentioned since it doesnt detect the device,probably since ADB debugging wasn't enabled.
And i cannot access stock recovery (like previously mentioned in the OP - same issue ) - it gives "boot up failed" error on the device.
These are the commands i can use right now (since only fastboot works) :
I would really like to save the data but if that's really not possible or practical at this point,i'd go for the second best option.
Unlock the bootloader - try flashing custom/stock images or recovery - take backup or use recovery software.
Any suggestions on unlocking the bootloader?
@ravibhat - I was under the impression accessing recovery from boot was different depending on Bootloader version. With v14.18, you power on while holding 'vol up.' With older Bootloaders - it's 'vol down.'
@ravibhat
OK so i have understood what problem you got
Now since you wanna save you data here's what you need to do( if it actually works)
As the system boots up, after 2 or 3( not exact) seconds the data partition is mounted ( this is necessary to boot up OS )
Now can you confirm that adb ( not fastboot) is working while you see the blank screen with backlit active
Report
@ravibhat - If you can boot into Stock Recovery, you can enable 'ADB Sideloading.' You will then be able to ADB pull /sdcard/ to PC.
Hey @lost101,
I am able to boot into the bootloader and use fastboot commands.
But when i select "Recovery" on the bootloader as shown in the image in the above post,it says "boot up failed".
I've flashed stock recovery and it was successful but unable to boot directly using "flash boot recovery.img" or even after successful flashing (by choosing Vol down button to navigate and then Vol Up button to select while in the bootloader)

Fastboot OEM lock is where you went wrong. Anyway see this thread.
OK I did this procedure yesterday but did not relock (I know it says to on the moto site but the guide I read said not to).
Anyway, pressing power and vol up will force a reboot. Unsure what will happen when it boots back up though...!
You should be fine. Only trying to relock will cause this error.
To get back to fastboot after a bad lock do this.
Power button and volume up, this will reboot the device.
As soon as the screen turns back on holds down power and volume down. In about 60 seconds your device should go to fastboot. Do not let go until it gets there.

The exact thread I linked to...(-__-)'
I followed instruction from motorla dev support site.
"h**p://developer.motorola.com/products/software/?pubid=987654"
It uses command "fastboot oem lock"! So why did locking brick the device?
here it is:
Device Software Images
Select the appropriate device software image to download and re-lock your device. If you need to find your build number on your Motorola device go to Settings and About Phone or About Tablet.
The commands to flash and re-lock your device are as follows:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
Note: If no userdata.img file is present in your download, please issue the command:
fastboot erase userdata
The Moto instructions are for locking the device back to it's own image. You are not using your device's own image. Every guide I've seen on here tells you not to relock, regardless of what Moto say. Believe the devs.
Thanxs
I now believe the devs......

only fastboot boot recovery.img works.
You have to flash the recovery with mfastboot from motorola when flashing partitions else you will get the size mismatched error.
Standard fastboot is only good for basic things such as getvar etc.
Always flash with mfastboot and it will not error out.
So the command will then be mfastboot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img which should then work without issues

Hello, I have bought the phone less than one month ago.
It was directly on 4.4.4 after unpacking.
Have you tried renaming the CWM file? Maybe the "-" are a problem although I highly doubt it. Did you try re downloading the file? Running the command window as an administrator? Last resort, you could use TWRP, I'm running on this currently and haven't had any problems installing/flashing ROMs with it and imo prefer it over CWM.

Yes its normal if you have unlocked your bootloader
To get back to stock, download a stock Fw for your device model and region, you can find a link for one if you enter the moto g section of this site and head to moto 4g lte android development section (only section specifically for peregrine model) unpack the fw files into your fastboot directory (windows) reboot your phone to fastboot mode (where u saw the status code) then press control + shift + right click to launch a command prompt window here (from within fastboot directory in windows) then copy and paste these fastboot commands 1 by 1 pressing enter each time until compete.

So you mean, it is compulsory to have stock ROM in order to install the recovery ?
Because my problem is not to return to stock, it is to install a proper recovery (CWM or TWRP) in order to boot on it without my computer.
Thanks for your help
No but I think your problem is you have corrupt the recovery partition size maybe through bad flash or something so ur unable now to flash a recovery as the partition size is for different device or damaged and flashing cwm will no longer work as the cwm image is too big or too small for the allocation assigned to it as the devices core partition table has changed (can happen when u flash something for the falcon when you have a peregrine), I would flash back to stock via that method to restore to stock partition sizes and then reroot and flash cwm again after, just a guess from my own understanding.

Guys I had the same trouble installing the recovery with the mismatched partition size message. This message is normal and the recovery is already installed on your device. The problem i had when selecting the recovery with the following black screen was that I used the Power Button instead of the up Button.
5) using volume down scroll to recovery and then use volume up to select
Hi, my son's oneplus one mobile will not start up. When we press the "on" button, we see the first "1+ powered by android" screen, then the word "cyanogen" is written across the screen. This word continues to slowly blur and un-blur slightly, but the system never comes any further. (The phone is fully charged).
We can also boot to a "cyanogen recovery" screen, where there are several options - where I guess a "factory reset" could be worth a try. If we do a factory reset, is there any way to maintain installed apps, and especially "progress" in these apps?
Thanks for any help,
Peter
You could try to use adb to backup the data, but you wont be able to save the progress in the apps I think, some apps have their progress stored online with your google account(Clash of clans for example)
ok, thanks (I don't know what "adb" is, but I'll google it).
Otherwise, has anyone seen this startup problem before, and are there any good solutions?
Thanks.
Hmm, seems that "adb" requires installation and/or enabling on the phone - as I can't start the phone, I don't think I can use this unfortunately.
You don't have access to adb unless it was previously enabled. Can you shed some light on what caused this situation please? It makes it a lot easier to troubleshoot. Do you know what build of Cyanogen OS was installed on the phone before this happened?
Hi, thanks for the reply. The phone's battery run out and the phone shut down. The power supply was attached, and it was attempted to turn the phone on - but this resulted in the current state where the phone stops at the "cyanogen" screen. The phone has since been charged over night, but will still not start. As to the current OS version - we are unfortunately not sure. My son says he last performed an OS update a few weeks ago.

Ok, thanks. If you can get into the stock recovery you should try flashing the latest build from here, then reboot the phone.
Thanks for the suggestion - but what do you mean with "stock recovery"? We can get to a menu with these options:
reboot system now
apply update
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe media
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
Can we use one of these to upload a new OS to the phone?
"Apply update" gives the options:
apply from ADB (does this mean adb *is* running on the phone?)
choose from internal storage
"Reboot to bootloader" results in a screen where it says "fastboot mode", but gets no further than this screen.

That's the stock recovery. The "apply from adb' option is present whether you have adb enabled or not, so that's a no-go. I've just realised that you won't be able to use the recovery to flash the zip anyway, because there's no way to transfer the zip to the device without adb.. I think your only option will be to unlock the bootloader and flash the stock images with fastboot. Unfortunately this will erase all data on the phone, but right now you don't really have any other option. So what you'll need to do is this:
1. Install adb/fastboot onto your PC, the 15 seconds adb installer is probably the easiest option for this.
2. Use the reboot to bootloader option in recovery to put the phone in fastboot mode.
3. Navigate to where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are located on your PC, hold shift and right-click, then select open command prompt here.
4. Make sure your phone is connected to the PC via usb cable and (in the terminal window that popped up after the previous step) issue this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
It should return the serial number of the device, if it does you have a working fastboot connection. If it doesn't return the serial number you might have to play around with drivers.
5. Once you know you've confirmed that you have a working fastboot connection you can check the status of the bootloader with this command:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
There will be a few lines of text. One of the lines will be 'bootloader unlocked: true/false". If it says true you can move on to step 6, if it says false you will need to unlock it with step 5a.
5a. Unlock the bootloader with this command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
The phone will automatically go through the unlock process, and will probably try to boot into the OS. Get back into fastboot mode by using the option in recovery, or by shutting the device off by holding the power button and then using the fastboot mode button combo (hold power + volume up).
6. Once you know you have an unlocked bootloader you can now flash the stock images to the device:
-Download the latest stock images to your PC from here. If you don't want the latest build you can find all stock images mirrored here thanks to @Spannaa.
-Unzip the file you downloaded and put its contents into your fastboot folder (the same folder that you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe located in on your PC).
-Open a command prompt from within your adb/fastboot folder (shift + right click, select open command prompt here).
-Issue these fastboot commands:
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
Code:
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
Code:
fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
Code:
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
Code:
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
Code:
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
Code:
fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin
Code:
fastboot flash oppostanvbk static_nvbk.bin
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash cache cache.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
Code:
fastboot flash userdata userdata_64G.img
or fastboot flash userdata userdata.img if you have the 16gb model)
Please note: flashing the userdata will wipe your internal storage (your virtual sd card). It's possible to flash these images without that command if a full wipe isn't completely necessary in your situation.
-Reboot your device with this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
-It's now safe to disconnect your usb cable.

Hopefully the phone will boot up now.
Thanks heaps for the info. My son has now re-established his telephone - though he lost all his data/progress/photos etc.. Is there a recommended backup mechanism for the OnePlus One? (Maybe he can run a backup application on his PC once a week which takes a snapshot of his phone?)

The best way is by creating a backup with TWRP recovery. You'll find instructions on how to flash it (and how to make a backup) in my guide thread:

1. Stay calm.
1.a You cannot root your phone without unlocking bootloader.
1.b. You will need to do a thorough reading of how to unlock bootloader from threads in this forum or else where. You will also need to read and understand the process of fastboot mode of flashing stock firmware.
2. Since you are able to enter fastboot mode connect your mobile to your PC with your USB chord, open the minimal adb fastboot mode, try to get the unlock key, visit Motorola site and get your bootloader unlock key. There are other threads explaning how to do this. Download the correct stock firmware identified based on the phone model no. Eg xt1550 dual sim and store it onto your PC, you will also need the minimal adb fastboot file, Motorola drivers, twrp3.0., SuperSU 2.62-3 ( no other version of SuperSU works, only this version)
3. Once you unlock your bootloader, flash the stock firmware which you need to download from other thread of this forum using fastboot mode. Note, marshmallow 6.0.1 has 7 sparsechunk files. So be careful about fast boot commands. Do not use the commands you find on the stock firmware thread blindly as these have commands only for 6 sparsechunk files. You may open the flash file from the downloaded firmware to get an idea of all the commands to be typed and their respective partitions too.
4. Flash twrp to replace stock recovery. Enter recovery from fastboot mode using volume keys to navigate and powerkey to select.
5. Once into twrp, press mounts tab and tick to mount USB storage, and copy the SuperSU 2.62-3 file into the external memory card of your phone from pc. Install this SuperSU.zip file without unzipping it by pressing the install tab in twrp home screen and selecting the zip file and sliding the installer.
6. Reboot system. Done! You have your phone rooted the perfect way.

These things require a cool mind...
Did you try the hardware way of entering the fastboot mode? If not keep the volume down and power button pressed for some time till ulyou enter fastboot mode. Basically there is no info if you have tried to follow what was given earlier...have you tried it?
I am unable to unlock the bootloader from adb.
The problem I think is that my phone's USB debugging is off.Anybody plz tell me how do I turn my bootloader on from fastboot or recovery mode.

Dear friend,
You need not have your bootloader unlocked to flash factory firmware
Quote from the XDA forum factory firmware link:
"Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I restore Factory Firmware if my Bootloader is locked?
Yes."
And if you are still stuck with a phone stuck at logo or is looping at the boot, either follow steps given elsewhere in this forum or follow the method that I am enumerating below which is what I would have done (which in principle is same as given elsewhere).
Getting your phone revived is your first priority. Unlocking bootloader and rooting is secondary.
You would be needing a pc with administrator privilege, internet connection and of course your phone along with the usb cable.
You would be needing the drivers for your phone, minimal adb and fastboot files, stock firmware for your phone model. All these files are available in the XDA forum as per links provided by others or as per this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750
1. Correctly install drivers onto your pc using administrator privileges.
2. Unzip and Install the minimal adb and fastboot files onto your pc into some specific directory and click the executable files once. This would ensure that all the files are loaded and dos prompt recognizes the adb and fastboot commands (commands are different for ADB stage and FASTBOOT stage, what you are going to use is directly the fastboot stage commands given below). Install as an administrator. Note this specific directory and file where you unzipped and installed the minimal adb file as you will need it in the below step.
3. Download the stock 6.0.1 mm firmware for XT1550 from the link below store it in you pc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639
Unzip the stock firmware. Now copy all the files of the stock firmware (all of them) into the specific file of the minimal adb and fastboot which you unzipped into and installed earlier and noted the location. You need to copy all the firmware files into the minimal adb and fastboot directory as that way you avoid specifying the location of the files for each flash command which is both simple and saves us from a lot of mistakes.
4. After copying all the unzipped stock firmware files in the minimal adb fastboot directory, press the shift button on keyboard and right click the mouse on the screen where in a dialogue box appears and choose to open the command prompt in this directory. This will open a command prompt with default reference to the current directory.
5. In what ever condition your phone is in (other than the fastboot mode), press simultaneously the volume down key + power button together for about 8-10 secs. This action will automatically lead your phone to enter the fastboot mode. After entering the fastboot mode you can connect the phone to your pc using a usb cable and your pc should ring a note that it has detected the phone. To check if the pc has detected the phone and the link is established, type the following command in the command prompt window which you opened in step 4
fastboot devices
This command displays your device number if all is well in the command prompt window. NOW you are ready to flash the stock firmware I.E. after successful detection of the phone by your pc.
6. Carefully type each and every of the commands in italics or copy and paste them ONE by ONE and wait for each command to be executed. The commands are being given below to help you (these are for flashing the 6.0.1mm onto the XT1550 only) in the opened command prompt window (Ensure that you do not miss any of the commands and follow the order given below) :
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
If you have done every thing correctly till now you should see the command prompt returning a OKAY afer each command with the time taken for flashing each file. This should revive your device first.
After this you may try unlocking the bootloader and rooting as the next step. But be patient and retain a cool head to read first and think clearly..... you will need it a lot as is necessary for such things... good luck and happy learning!!
Follow the instructions in this thread ...to unlock bootloader and root...
Works 100%.

Will this work on the Amazon version?
Hello, it should work
I would be VERY careful about trying to use the image provided here.
I picked up the Z3 today hoping to be able to build TWRP recovery with this image. Using the kernel from this image resulted in a permanently bricked device. It would no longer turn on. At all.
Second Z3, using the provided image's boot.img and only booting boot.img from fastboot... hung the device.
This tells me the linked image here is very likely to be incompatible with many Z3 Play devices.
The version I've tested it with is the US retus software channel version.
As far as I've been able to tell, this image is for French devices only. DO NOT use this image if you cannot confirm it will work by testing the boot image first.
Extract boot.img from the archive and put your phone into fastboot mode. Test it by typing "fastboot boot boot.img" - If your phone hangs at the motorola logo, this firmware WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
The Z3 Play has NO FIRMWARE candidates on https://firmware.center - So, I repeat, the firmware linked here is likely NOT compatible with your device.

The XT1929-4 is what I have and the firmware definitely did not work for me. I tried to build TWRP for the Z3 Play as I have for other devices and it definitely wasn't going to happen with these files. Even if you 'fastboot boot boot.img', it's supposed to boot like normal using the rest of the what is stored on your phone. Instead it only hangs.

magic works quite well if you patch the boot normally, with check marks.

Thanks, this did the trick. I was able to download use the boot.img from the lollinet mirror firmware zip. It does require both force encrypt and verity enabled before patching it or it will boot loop.

Will this work on the Moto Z3 (XT1929-17)?

You need a firmware image for your specific device. Check the websites from this thread and see if you can find one specific to your device. Other images could brick your device.
The steps should be the same for every device as far as fastboot flashing goes. But don't use an image for another device

Found the original vzw firmware on Moto's site.
Thanks!

The XT1929-4 is what I have and the firmware definitely did not work for me. I tried to build TWRP for the Z3 Play as I have for other devices and it definitely wasn't going to happen with these files. Even if you 'fastboot boot boot.img', it's supposed to boot like normal using the rest of the what is stored on your phone. Instead it only hangs.

So I have a Verizon Moto Z3 (Brand New XT1929-17, NO XDA Thread yet) I found the firmware off the Motorola site at this link https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=279604 (last file). I unzipped it, copied the boot.img to my adb folder and executed fastboot boot boot.img and this is the result:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot boot.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.622s]
booting...
(bootloader) permission denied!
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.633s
My goal here is to modify a boot.img so I can root with Magisk without unlocking the bootloader. (Verizon devices don't allow unlocking the bootloader)
Any help would be appreciated.

Your bootloader is locked. Being a Verizon device, it's likely not unlockable.
You have to have an unlocked bootloader before you can boot and flash in fastboot.
This is why people buy unlocked devices.

Hi, I have the Moto Z3 Play. This is the updated Firmware that I have on my device. I felt I should share it, just in case anyone else needs its. I also added a couple of simple batch files to the folder that I thought everyone might appreciate.
FlashRoot(Service) - Will automatically flash the phone with the patch_boot.img instead of boot.img. This will flash the rooted version of the boot image that was made with Magisk Manager. (Must be in Fastboot)
Flash - Stock --Will automatically flash the regular boot.img also with all the other stock files to the phone. (Must be in Fastboot)
