Hi guys,
I just bought a new Moto G 3rd Generation. I followed the unroot guide at the unlockr.com (can't link it due to my newb status on these forums). And I was pretty much at the end of the process, then rebooted after flashing the TWRP Recovery. But then the 'WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED SCREEN' appeared... and now it won't go away. I can't even get into fastboot mode with Power + Vol Down. It just shuts off the Moto G for a second, then the screen reappears.
I dun goofed. I didn't clear the cache before reboot, and I think it's ****ing me. I can't even connect the phone to my PC anymore (it isn't detected at all). I can't even just shut down the device. It just boots back up. Like it's giving me the finger.
I'm ready to just wipe out the phone, then start over. But I have no idea how since I can't get into recovery mode at all. If I manage to shut it off, the warning screen reappears. Can't escape it. Any suggestions? Or, am I in ****sville?
Generation: 3rd.
dude this thread is only for MOTO G 2013 FIRST GEN
but try the button combination Correctly, it will boot into bootloader.

Okay, I have a 16 gig us moto g with a unlocked 4.4 boot loader, cmw recovery, and root. The other day I was going to flash the unofficial beanstalk rom, so I did the usual data wipe and what the installation guide said on the thread. I got stuck in a bootloop so held down the power button to try and reset the phone and get it to the bootloader menu but my screen went black. It has been black ever since, no matter what combination of button I press I can't get the screen to do anything, I have never had this problem before on any android device. Do you guys think if I contact Motorola they'll give me a replacement even though the bootloader is unlocked. Any help is appreciated.
Edit: fixed! I read on a faq that you sometimes have to hold power button for as long as 30 seconds so that's what I did and it worked
Background Information:
Droid MAXX (XT1080)
Rooted
Write Protection - Off
Safestrap
Ok so I rooted my phone and turned write protection off and yesterday I couldn't get touchless control to train for the life of me so I decided to boot into safestrap this morning and I fixed permissions and then went to do a factory reset and selected format /system wihthout thinking about it...
Now all my phone does is turn on and stay at the blue Motorola logo...
So I tried to fastboot and rsdlite but neither will see the phone so I tried to adb devices -l and that won't see the phone either.
So any ideas on what I can do or did I hard brick my phone since write protection is off.
Thanks,
Ryan

Adb won't work unless you're booted to the OS. You need to boot into your bootloader. With vol off press and hold vol down and pwr for about 5 sec then release. This will get you into bootloader where you can use fastboot, rsd, and such.

Yeah I tried booting into fastboot along with loading it into rsdlite but it didn't see the device since it wasn't really booting past the motorola logo. :/
If you are properly booting to the bootloader you should never see the moto logo.
Try this exactly (when the phone is stuck on the M):
1. Press Power and Vol - at the same time until the screen turns off
2. release power button once screen turns off, continue holding vol -
you should now be in the bootloader screen. Try it a couple of times if it doesnt work... I had this happen once or twice and it was a ***** to get the phone into the bootloader.

With all due respect, you must be doing something wrong or perhaps messing up some of the terminology. By following the steps I stated above it will boot your phone to the bootloader. It will say AP Fastboot mode at the top of the screen. And some other things. Then below that it will have your options in blue...normal power up, recovery, barcode...etc. Getting to that screen does not show the boot logo (in your case the Motorola logo) You also said you tried loading it into rsd. Well rsd won't work unless you're in fastboot mode ( the screen I mentioned above.)

Yeah I have been in the AP Fastboot mode plenty of times before with this phone and it's not working this time I have tried numerous times this morning. With the Write protection - off I'm assuming when I formatted the /System /data /Cache partitions it messed everything up...
I submitted a claim (my phone was stolen) and will be getting a replacement tomorrow.
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.
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?
Hi guys, I have a Moto G 1stGeneration. I followed the unroot guide at the unlockr.com (can't link it due to my newb status on these forums). And I was pretty much at the end of the process, then rebooted after flashing the TWRP Recovery. But then the 'WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED SCREEN' appeared... and now it won't go away. I can't even get into fastboot mode with Power + Vol Down. It just shuts off the Moto G fo a second, then the screen reappears. I dun goofed. I didn't clear the cache before reboot. I can't even connect the phone to my PC anymore (it isn't detected at all). I can't even just shut down the device. It just boots back up. Like it's giving me the finger. I'm ready to just wipe out the phone, then start over. But I have no idea how since I can't get into recovery mode at all. If I manage to shut it off, the warning screen reappears. Can't escape it. Any suggestions?

Try asking in the moto g forums as there have been a few users having bootloader issues
