[Help]Always boots to bootloader UTAG "bootmode" configured as fastboot

What Happens?
My phone weather rebooted from adb, bootmenu, powered off and then on, rebooted from recovery, always boots in bootloader.
It says UTAG "bootmode" configured as fastboot
From bootloader I can go to recovery or regular power up! it all works.
Just I have to face the bootloader every time my phone turns on!
When did this occur?
I don't know, I flashed 3 firmwares back-to-back and then got back to GPe. I booted to bootloader in all ways. I remember me going to bootloader from my XT1033 stock ROM's boot menu, then once using adb reboot bootloader, and once going by pressing VolDown+Power. So I kind of messed up. And then after setting down to a ROM. I rebooted and realised!
What did I try to recover
1. Flashed bootloaders from different firmware
2. Went back to Stock
3. Tried all adb reboot commands
4. Tried all reboot methods from bootmenu
Help Please!
Everything else is working fine, its not a panic attack, but i need a solution

Do "fastboot oem fb_mode_clear"

Take a backup. And make a full & clean install of stock ROM. Your problem should be solved
I would suggest not to mess with BL , you will get in to trouble

I have done that more than once!
That doesnt solve the problem! and the prooblem didn't start becaues of BL.
Going to stock doesnt change anything!

[Q] Moto G no communication with Sdcard

Well, first thanks for listening, and please have patience, haha.
I have a Moto G XT1033, my cousin, he tried to unlock the bootloader and the process has not been finalized (I think) because the phone does not turn over, just stood in the LOGO screen.
I tried to reinstall the ROM Stock, but unfortunately I did not succeed
I tried several things and nothing.
I've tried:
1- reinstall the original ROM XT1033 4.4.4
2- install the original ROM XT1033 4.4.2
3- Install the ROM XT1032 4.4.4
4- Install the ROM XT1033 5.0.2
and nothing happened :'( .
so I tried to unlock the Bootloader to see if I could get into recovery mode, to be able to WIPE Cache and Factory. But that was when I discovered that even reinstalling the ROM's and clearing the caches, was not affecting anything on the phone, I was in the Install from SDcard and all folders were there (Whatsapp, PicsArt ...)
I can not install Custom Recovery and not install any ROM since it is not installing anything !!!
and when I Wipe cache it restarts on its own and does not delete anything!
I am Brazilian and I used Google translator to write this text, I hope to help me! Thank you for listening! <3
I have a Moto G XT1032 with unlocked bootloader, custom recovery TWRP and android 5.0.2 via adb, no problem

Can you boot into fastboot? Does it say the bootloader is unlocked?
So you are able to flash a stock ROM without errors?
Can you get into stock recovery to wipe?

Yes, but nothing works, the adb process of all "Okay" but when rebooting, it is only on screen logo and does not start, and after about 2 minutes it restarts again.

You can boot into fastboot? - Yes said the bootloader is unlocked? - yes
So you are able to flash a ROM stock without errors? - Yes and no XD (in adb shows that installs but does not actually install anything)
You can get in stock recovery to clean? yes and no (the screen shows that wiped but not actually cleaned anything, the fiction folders all there in the same place, whatsapp etc ...)

You are using ADB or fastboot to flash stock ROM? Fastboot commands only work when the phone is in fastboot mode.

good, I do not know a lot of things, but change ROM's and those kinds of things I can do, you see, is that what's going on I've never seen, practically the cell turned into a zombie, he's dead just not hahaha.
I'm using the ADB and Fastboot the in the same folder, and installed the ROM's in fastboot mode (vol - + Power)
it's OKAY in the installation process, only it does not actually install anything.
already tried deleting the cache but he n erases anything already gave factory reset and nothing happens: '(
researched two days and a half on the subject to try to solve it, but I was out of options, so I posted here in the forum, takes a lot to help me with this!
in the process with my phone got everything worked unlock the good bootloader, install custom recovery and rom lollipop
since my cousin was not so lucky
he screwed the phone in bootloader unlocking process (if I'm not mistaken)

Bootloader won't work.

Hi,
I unlocked my Xt1039 recovery long time ago, but hadn't made any changes.
Yesterday i tried to install the twrp recovery and realised that my bootloader isn't working correctly.
I entered bootloader and flashed the recovery, but when tring to enter recovery via the bootloader it just shows a moto logo and then an animation of the battery percentaje.
So to solve this, as i thought it was a flash problem i did fastboot boot to enter the recovery, wich booted correctly and flashed the recovery trough there; after that i enter recovery via adb reboot recovery, and it loaded correctly the recovery, but when i try to enter the recovery via the bootloader i still shows the logo and the battery and doesn't works.
After that i tried the other options in the bootloader, but none works, not even the power normaly, every thing makes the same, logo and battery percentaje.
Someone has a gess?
Thanks in advance.

How to recover from a bricked Mix 2S?

I purchased the Mix 2S in China and waited 15 days to unlock the bootloader. After the waiting period, I attempted to install the Global MIUI 10 8.6.14 ROM and the new system would "fail to find devices" and constantly reboot itself after the security pattern was entered.
Wipe Data was used in MI-Recovery 3.0 and it now only reboots to the MI-Recovery 3.0 main menu!
Connect with MIAssistant does not work since my PC does not recognize that the phone is connected. Attempts to boot to TWRP recovery from adb result in the message: The system has been destroyed, Press power button to shutdown. MiFlashtool 207.4.25.0 shows Erase boot error after attempting to flash the official 9.5 China ROM or Global 9.5 ROM. The only hopeful thing is that it still enters FASTBOOT when the power and lower volume buttons are pressed.
Is there anything that can be done here to restore the phone to its factory state? I want to start over and try this again with the Official Global 9.5 ROM instead of the Global MIUI 10 8.6.14 ROM.
As you can imagine, this has kept me up for hours trying to fix. Any help, suggestions, advice would be so appreciated at this time.

Flash any fastboot ROM via fastboot. The beta is a zip for recovery installation. You could try fastboot boot recovery.img and transfer the zip again and flash it once more before rollback.

When I try fastboot boot recovery.img, I get this screen of death: The system has been destroyed, Press power button to shutdown.

Do an unlock in MI Unlock tool again and repeat the proces.

You locked the bootloader when you flashed global rom. Unlock it again and flash again. But this time select the "erase all" option and NOT "erade and lock". (Take a look at the bottom right of the MI flash tool.

WOW. I forgot about the unlock tool. When I unlocked it again, this time it booted up properly to the NEW MIUI 10 ROM! I don't understand what caused it to work, and I'm not complaining. Thanks for your help, XDA!

If you have the Chinese version you can't relock the booth loader. Because you get in a booth loop.

I am having the same issue
I did everything exactly the same as mentioned by the other gentleman.
My boot loader is locked in the process of flashing the beta global rom.
Now when I try to unlock the boot loader via the unlocked tool, it says my mi account is not bind with the phone.
There is not way I am able to unlock the boot loader. I am not able to boot the phone.
And without unlocking the boot loader it is nt allowing me to flash any rom.
Kindly help.

Redmi S2 stuck on Mi logo

My Redmi S2 somehow got stuck on Mi logo this morning. Everything is still stock and locked. I followed a guide somewhere to unlock bootloader through edl mode, seems like it worked (is says "unlocked" under Mi logo).
With BL unlocked, I tried flashing TWRP using fastboot. But I still can't boot into recovery, only Mi logo. Even stock recovery won't boot.
It seems flashing using Mi Flash Tool doesn't worked anymore , unless with auth. So I found another flash tool. Tried flashing Global/China rom with it(edl mode of course), all is well but "cache","cust","vendor","system","userdata", didn't finished flashing. But the tool says the whole process is completed and proceed to reboot the phone. Which still only showing "Mi Logo".
So I tried using fastboot command to flash those few files. First few time the process completed. But still nothing changes. However, when I try to flash using fastboot now, it just stuck at "erasing". Any file I tried to flash just got stuck here.
"fastboot boot recovery.img" also don't worked. Got the same result using another computer. Now I'm stuck. Would appreciate some advice and guide here.

if your bootloader still unlocked..
try reinstalling twrp via fastboot and use the volume up button and power button to enter recovery

Even in the beginning, before flashing anything, it won't enter stock recovery. I already tried flashing twrp, flash succeed, but it won't enter recovery mode, or twrp. And now, I can't flash anything through fastboot. It just stuck at "erasing..."
