Hello.
My friend gave me his Moto G to be fixed, the cellphone doesn't turn on on most of the times (it gets stuck on a black screen after the Motorola logo) and, when it turns on, it's impossible to use it, beacuse there are lots of processes stopping. My first idea was to factory reset it directly from the system or from the recovery, but it doesn't work, it looks like it's doing something, but when I turn the cellphone on, every thing is still there (and I still can't use it).
So, yesterday, I unlocked the bootloader to try to put a custom recovery or the stock firmware on it, using fastboot. The unlocking process was ok, but I can't do nothing on the cellphone using fastboot, when I try to put a custom recovery or the stock firmware, the messages appear on the cellphone and I get only OKAY on the computer, but when I turn the cellphone on, everything is still there and the recovery is still the default one. Does anybody have any idea of what it might be?
Long story short:
The smartphone doesn't work, I cant't factory reset it through the stock recovery, nor use fastboot to use a custom recovery or factory reset it (it seems to be okay on the cellphone and the computer, but nothing happens).
Sorry for bad English.
Urgent help reqd
randomly my nexus 5 restarted
google came on screen and now only those four animated circles are showing up and the phone doesnt go further
went in bootloader but cant wipe cache, cant format, or anything else from there.
usb debuggng must be off as far as i remember
trying to flash through sdk manager. have downloaded image. but stops at "waiting for device" in cmd and it doesnt go any further than that. even tried doing it manually through cmd.
when the phone is connected it is showing the drivers but it isnt installng and can see the yellow exclamation.
manually downloaded the drivers and tried installing manually but shows drivers are up to date.
uninstalled driver and reinstalled but same issue. it is connected to usb 2.0.
now how do i get it to work?
I have tried all the options i could search for on this forum but none of them solved my issue.
Is the bootloader unlocked?
How do i check that?
Ok got it
It is locked
How do i unlock?
I checked some unlocking bootloader threads but they all require usb debugging to be on.
My phone is not starting at all so i cannot do that
How do i go about it now
Tried nexus root toolkit. It isnt detecting the device.
Unlocking will wipe you device.
Google themselves have a guide on how to flash, not sure why you are using toolkits.
Also, you will wipe your device, if you haven't already. Make sure you have the right drivers, make sure you get the device to come up under "fastboot devices"
Already tried all methods mentioned by google or xda.
If you read my initial post my phone is not getting detected as well but shows installing drivers when connected but the installation fails.
Manually install the correct drivers.
Tried that but i get the error that you already have latest drivers. But its not detecting the phone
Try removing the drivers and reinstalling
Also, try different USB ports and cables.
Did all of that a number of times. Still no luck
Other phones are getting connected and detected just fine.

Hi all, i have a similar problem
this morning my n5 boots into "optimizing apps", but stops when reach around 15/20 apps and reboot (3 or 4 times)...
Now, only keeps in android animation like useruser12.
I can see my data in TWRP, battery 95%...
I wipe cache/dalvik... nothing
I reflash the kernel (ElementalX 6.17), still nothing
Any ideas?
PS: latest news. After make a backup, I made a factory reset and restore a system-boot-cache partition from old backup. Now the phone boots but i hate lose all my data xD. I want try to solve my problem using my "corrupted" backup for avoid losing data. If that fails, I can always restore this functional backup. Any ideas again?
Used the nexus root toolkit.managed to unlock bootloader but immediately the device reboots and goes into the bootloop again.
Tried the flash stock + unroot function as well which detected my factory image and everything went smooth till it came back to unlocking the bootloader and rebooting the device after that and again went into the bootloop
Though i have installed the drivers, on reboot windows 7 automatically starts installing the mtp usb device driver but fails. Manually downloaded the drivers and installed as well.
Still its not worked and whatever i do it comes back and get stuck at the bootloop.
Any expert can give a solution? Thanks
After unlocking the bootloader, does the bootloader relock when the phone is rebooted? If it does, the memory chip is defective.
Phone doesnt reboot completely.goes into a loop after the google logo and doesnt go further.
If i switch off the phone midway here without it booting up and then restart the bootloader then its locked again.
But what i read was that the process of complete reboot needs to finish and i need to turn on usb debugging. So is it because of that the bootloader locks again?
Anyways, this what im facing

Lucky that you could do a factory reset. I wasnt even able to do that from the bootloader.

Sorry, i did it via TWRP.
If the bootloader relocks itself upon reboot, it's the memory chip that is damaged.
So I was putting together a flashable zip for downgrading to Nougat, and when I rebooted I must have erased something I shouldn't have, because the screen went black. I have no idea what i could have done but when i force restart, it makes the pc disconnect sound and three seconds later, it reconnects. I can't reboot to bootloader or recovery, much less system, but strangely adb commands still show that my phone is is fastboot mode. I ran the Huawei Multitool with files I know for sure were correct, and hit unbrick. There were no errors and everything flashed correctly, or so it said. Once again I attempted to reboot but to no avail. The screen stays black.
Can anyone help me out here??? I don't know what happened. I don't think it's hardbricked right? I can still use fastboot.
Thanks!
Hi,
Since yesterday, my phone suddenly went into a bootloop (I wasn't even using it, but it suddenly started vibrating every half a minute or so). I'm able to get into fastboot mode, but from there if I try to boot into TWRP, it just shows the splash screen for a bit, and then crashes and reboots again. I should say that this is my brother's old phone he gave to me, so I'm not exactly sure what he's done to it, and I'm also not particularly familiar with Android stuff myself.
Is there anything I could try to retrieve data from the device? I've managed to run a different recovery img (included in here: https://onepluscommunityserver.com/list/Unbrick_Tools/OnePlus_One/), which allowed me to use ADB from my MacBook, and from there I tried to use the adb backup command, but this just gives me "Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation..." without actually showing anything on the phone.
And even if I can't recover anything, is there anything I could try to bring the device back into a working state?
since your fastboot is working, you can try downloading the bacon roottoolkit and restore stock rom, before doing that install all the drivers like it mentions in the app. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555863;
Let me know if this works
I found the phone in my bag with a discharged battery and does not want to boot all the way. It shows the animated MIUI logo for about 1 minute and then restarts, sometimes showing the menu to switch to 'wipe data' and 'assistant'.
It's all stock, locked, up-to-date, I think still on Android 10 or which one it is. I did not install any new apps and don't even use the phone for anything other than gaming.
I've tried connecting with PC Suite but it doesn't see the phone. Fastboot anything does not work since the bootloader is locked. I know I can wipe data and be done with it, just wondering if there is anything else I can do.
EDIT: I've wiped the data and reinstalled the phone but would like to know if there is a way to avoid this in the future.
Unlock bootloader. This is very important. Then you have full control over the device.
For example the other day I had hard brick because fastboot flash was interrupted. And I still managed to unbrick the device thanks to unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.
It's really hard to hard brick this device. I love Xiaomi <3
