Hi
I have a Moto G XT1032. I have a custom rom and twrp recovery.
Recently, I soft bricked my phone worse than ever before (yes it has happened once before).
I don't have USB debugging on so i can't reset manually. Also, factory reset from fastboot won't work (stuck on bootloader),
I tried to boot recovery mode but i get stuck on the loading screen for TWRP. The only thing that is in my favour is that USB debugging is on even though my recovery isn't loading up. I'm not 100% sure on what commands to use on ADB so need help on that.
Any ideas on how to factory or hard reset my phone (either will work).
Does anyone know a setting to enable USB debugging permanently because this way, i could wipe my phone easily.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Ok so I have a sprint nexus s 4g that has never been rooted/modded or anything. It all of a sudden won't boot android now, it just stays at the "Google" logo, so I guess it is bricked but I have no idea how it got to this state. I am able to boot into recovery and download mode so I did a factory reset and wiped cache but still I was unable to boot. USB debugging was disabled when the phone was bricked so I am unable to use adb and fastboot. I managed to re-flash the stock rom via odin which unlocked the bootloader (odin actually recognized the phone in download mode), but still I have had no success... is there any way to get into android or is this a hardware problem? (i'm okay with rooting I've done it a couple times with another device) this is just a spare phone that I have to just mess around with since I recently got my upgrade.
Hello.
I have rooted my Shield Tablet a while ago, but I tried installing a dark theme and everything goes wrong.
It wont boot, but I was able to use ABD tools to open CWM Recovery and factory reset. But I was too confident of everything going to work, so I installed SuperSU.zip from the recovery and booted it. But now it doesn't start again, but now I don't have USB debugging enabled.
So I'm stuck here now. Could anyone help me?
Regards Casper.
Hi, a friends opo can only boot into recovery, but not into fastboot mode. It doesn't boot to an OS anymore, only to recovery of cyanogenmod.
Is it possible to somehow get it to boot without losing all the stuff on the phone or pull the data off the phone somehow? It would be really grate if the data could be saved, so I haven't tried a factory reset.
But I can connect it to a pc and it recognizes it over adb sideload (option in recovery to flash update over sideload). I checked if the volume down button was stuck with a multimeter but this wasn't the case. I don't really know what happened to the phone or on what version of cm12 it was, since it is not mine.
Somehow I can't access fastboot mode with volume up, which is strange since it is not completely dead.
I just wanted to confirm if there is anything we can do before trying a factory reset and losing all the data.
Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if I post this question in a wrong section but there is no thread for my device on xda.
It seems like I ruined the recovery mode of my Android tablet. It's a HP Pro Slate 12 tablet with Android 5.1.1 on it. It's rooted. I wanted to install CWM Recovery to backup everything, but my device wasn't listed as a supported device. My friend told me I can install the LG G3 recovery instead because it's compatible. I installed that. Since then recovery mode completely disappeared. The device still boots in normal mode and works, but I cannot boot into recovery mode anymore. I really need it because the device boots normally but sometimes acting strange since I rooted it. I'd like to try unrooting it by going into recovery mode or doing a factory reset, but both options disappeared.
Here's what I've tried:
- I Googled this problem very thoroughly, but didn't find any help aside from "hold down 2 buttons to go into recovery mode" type of answers.
- I tried holding down volume up+power buttons while turning it on, but didn't work.
- Tried holding down volume down+power. Nope.
- Tried rebooting inside Android into recovery mode with Quick boot app. It rebooted my device but again it went into normal mode instead.
- Tried to reboot into recovery mode with ADP and FastBoot in Windows. ADB recognized my device (listed the serial number), Fastboot didn't recognize my device. So I tried to reboot into recovery with ADB. Same stuff happened. The device rebooted into normal mode.
- Tried to do a factory reset. DIDN'T work! Rebooted into normal mode once more. The factory reset hasn't deleted anything.
- I have the latest available update.zip from the official website for my device, but without recovery mode I cannot install it.
Any ideas? Did I really lose the possibility of recovery forever with a single click?

Hello did you find a solution to your problem ?
Hi, I have a Verizon variant of the OG Pixel, and decided to try to unlock the bootloader when I found this guide recently.
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-verizon-google-pixel-xl-running-android-10/
So my phone was working properly before I did anything following this guide, it did not bootloop or had any problem whatsoever.
I'm not sure what version of the OS I had before I wipe/factory reset and sideload ota image, but when I did the first factory reset, it boot into the system and through all the setup process without any problem, so I decided to factory reset again through the settings menu.
This time I did not let it boot into system but going straight into recovery, factory reset through recovery, sideload OTA image, then factory reset again through recovery like the guide said, then reboot.
Now I got a constantly bootloop device. It stuck in Google logo for longer then I think it needs, then reboot; sometimes it get to the G logo but freezes then reboot; sometimes it couldn't finish the G logo animation and freezes there then reboot; sometimes it goes through Google logo, G logo animation, Android logo on the bottom, then freezes and reboot; the furthest it make so far was the progress bar animation under the G logo but freezes after all and reboot with no luck.
Since this is a locked devices, I could not:
-Wipe anything through fastboot
-Flash anything through fastboot
-Boot into a custom recovery image through fastboot
-Downgrade through adb sideload
-Push files through adb (I have no usable system or custom recovery, no listed adb devices in recovery, push command in adb sideload mode was not permitted.)
Things I've tried:
-Factory reset through recovery
-Sideload OTA image with different USB cables or computers (It only allows me to sideload the latest OTA image, no downgrade premitted, and the result was always success with status 0 without any error message using any combination.)
-Smashed the power button to make sure it is not the case that my power button was stucked
-Make sure it has enough power in the battery (Charge while powered off did shows the charging animation though.)
-Tap on the phone/massage the phone like some Youtube video siad
-Put it into a freezer like some article said
I think I've done anything I could. I thought it was software problem since I had a properly working device just not a long time ago, and have no problem booting into bootloader or recovery, had no error message when I sideload OTA image and factory reset, but now I begin thinking that this could be caused by faulty hardware maybe a non-wetting joint or something (similar symptom did happened on my Nexus 7 2013 which will not boot unless I apply some pressure on the back where motherboard underlies.) But before I did all these factory reset and OTA thing it has no problem at all, so I still not fully convinced that my beloved phone becomes a paperweight just because the hardware suddenly decides to loose a solder point or something.
Did this happened to you guys? Is there something I can do that I missed? Or any way I can get my phone back alive again?
