Hello.
I won't go too deep into detail on how it ended up like this, but basically I messed around with flashing a custom rom, tried to factory reset, and my phone ended up stuck on the following reboot loop:
1 - "Warning: Bootloader Unlocked" screen appears, then the phone emits a short vibration.
2 - Phone goes on to "Erasing..." screen, displaying the Android fella with his belly open and his robot innards spinning.
3 - Phone screen goes black, then back to step one again.
Now I might have bricked my phone to death, but I still have access to some menus and options that lead me to think that *maybe* a fix is possible:
I still have access to the bootloader menu, even though half the commands lead to a reboot of the phone. I still have access, on some extent to the recovery menu (I get the "No Command" screen, but I can still bypass it and get to a screen with a few clickable options.
The options "Apply update from ADB" and "Apply update from SD card" give me a bit of hope.
I did try flashing the stock rom using adb-fastboot (RDSLite doesnt even recognize my device) but I got the "Preflash validation failed" error at the first step (flashing gpt.bin).
So what I'd like to know is if there's anything I could possibly do to unbrick my device and flash the stockrom again, or is my Moto G 2015 just good to be sold for spare parts ? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Did you save a working ROM before flashing new ROMs?

I am not exactly sure what happened, but I am stuck in the "Android system recovery <3e>" menu. I had unlocked the phone before and was trying to relock it and get it back to stock because the new update wouldn't install.
While the HTC update utility was installing the stock firmware, I think the cable came loose at some point because it stopped part way. Now it boots, shows the HTC logo, goes black and then eventually shows a phone lying down with a red triangle and an exclamation point. I can push vol+/power to get "Android system recovery" to show up, but that seems to be all. It says "Mount SDCARD failed".It will only boot to this menu. I cannot load the bootloader or anything else so I can't seem to use fastboot or adb and can't seem to copy any files onto the phone. Does anyone have any ideas? Is it totally bricked?
Edit: doing a factory reset from recovery does nothing.
Edit2: Sorry!!! False alarm. After spending about an hour going back and forth with this and finally breaking down and posting about it on XDA, suddenly the bootloader DID appear. I have absolutely no idea what I did differently. I guess the 500th try was the charm. Reflashing stock now!
Hi so I have a Moto G 4G (XT1039) and I recently tried flashing an Android Lollipop rom onto the phone. The process in TWRP went fine but afterwards my phone started turning on and it showed the boot up screen for a quarter of a second and after I was redirected to the fastboot menu with the error message 'Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode' I tried going on 'Normal Powerup' after that but that resulted in 'Boot up failed' and it does this for every option except 'Recovery' this took me to the stock recovery screen. (not TWRP because when I tried flashing TWRP recovery earlier this came up with 'Boot up failed' for when I went on Recovery so instead I put TWRP in the normal boot mode). Anyway, after this I went to wipe all the data from Recovery and it did this process just fine however when I rebooted the device it still came up with 'Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode' and 'Boot up failed' when I went on 'Normal powerup'. My computer does not let me access the phone either. (it is detected because it made a noise when I plugged it in but its not accessible and doesn't appear in my drivers screen). I think the phone still may be trying to boot from the corrupted/faulty boot image as I put it in the phones internal memory but I cannot delete it from there because as I said I can't access the phones internal memory. If there is a fix for this (I assume there isn't as I am so limited to doing anything on the phone or on the computer now) I would appreciate it a lot. I would also like to ask: when the phone boots does it boot up from the internal memory and files from the hard-drive in the phone or from somewhere else? If so I will probably just take it to a shop and pay for the hard-drive to be replaced. Thanks. And also if there are any developers that skim this post and a similar one that sounds the same don't as there is no one else with this problem and I have a different problem thane the others. And yes I have posted two other posts one is similar but still different and the other has been closed by mistake because of somebody skimming that one and my other one thinking they were the same
Your thread will be moved to the appropriate forum.
I have looked at multiple guides on this and other sites, googled and tried stuff and I cannot resolve this problem. Hopefully I am posting in the right place.
I took the jump and unlocked the bootloader on my Moto G first generation, XT1034 successfully. I flashed TWRP 2.8.60.xt1034.zip with adb and this was successful. Then I flashed Super SU 4.6 Update and that was successful. I got into trouble I guess when I tried to flash Cyanogenmod 12.1 nightly. I used TWRP to flash via install. The flash had an error, which unfortunately I didn't write down. I believe it was something to do with a partition. However, it looked like the flash failed. At this point and for hours I have been trying to fix the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked Loop I am stuck in.
I have been able to get into the phone and flash via adb commands. I've tried several commands suggest to fix this that I have found in forums. I have tried flashing several recoveries including an older TWRP per the method in this thread, a clockworkmod - and the original 2.8.6.0.xt1034. When I get into the phone bootloader which is available, I have not been able to access any options in recovery. Pushing the power button on recovery leads to a blank screen sometimes followed by a recovery starting or a Motorola Logo starting up and a couple times a recovery. TWRP has started a couple times, but never gets past the intro screen, where it locks up. clockworkmod (clockworkmod-6.0.4.7-falcon.img started once after flashing through adb and gave me flash options. I tried to sideload, didn't understand, went back and the recovery locked up. These recoveries no longer load at all.
Through all of this the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" logo screen comes up after plugging into the computer (Windows 8.1).
Example, I open the phone bootloader by waiting for the phone screen to go from the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen to blank - it cycles from logo to blank. If I'm quick the phone and hard boot the phone will boot into bootloader. I connect to the laptop through USB. When I toggle to recovery and hit the power button the screen goes blank, the Motorola Logo pops up, goes blank and then the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" appears. The Laptop then seems to connect and disconnect as the Warning screen comes on and turns off.
The factory selection just goes to a blank screen.
I would really appreciate some advice on how to get the phone back to a state in which I can work with it and try again. It is very difficult wading through all of the information out there. I've learned a lot through this issue, but can't take it any further.
Thanks, Jeff
Solved - Stuck in "Warning Bootloader Is Unlocked" Loop
This resolution took many hours to figure out, but I finally got there with this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219, this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54855457#post54855457 and this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen...e-firmware-t3042687/post59139823#post59139823.
I tried RSD Lite on different computers and USB cables I could not get the device recognized. So I ended up with the MfastbootV2 method to reload stock firmware, which I found on the firmware thread above - this was big, as my phone is with Wind Mobile in Canada and the link is the right one. The only thing I picked up from a different website was to use a computer with USB 2 ports. This is what I did, but I don't know one way or the other if USB 2 was needed. .
Can't thank you hard working guys enough for the time you take to put these threads together. I'm back up and running. As a bonus, after a big clean up in the process, my phone is running fast again.
Thanks everyone.
I've got a Moto G (1.gen) XT1032 that I'm using temporarily while waiting for repair parts for my Nexus 5.
I managed to install Android 5.1 GPe version on the phone, and the boot sequence show it's unlocked (open padlock image). Everything kinda works fine, except I want to root the phone.
So I boot into recovery mode, I get the list of options, go down to "recovery", then up, and after a moment I now get the famous red triangle. I have searched a lot and it seems it's quite common to have this with a "no command" text, but I have no text or anything, just the dead android image. From here I've tried all the suggestions with holding up+down and hitting power, in various combinations, but nothing works. The only result I get is the phone reboots into normal mode.
I've tried to flash both the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-xt1032.img, the moto-g-CWM-recovery.img and even the standard recovery.img, but they all just throw an error in fastboot and nothing happens.
I've tried for many days, gone though every post here and on other websites, but finally have to admit defeat. I'm at the end of the line, no more ideas. Anyone seen this before? What am I missing?
In my frustration I kept tapping up+down+power while on the dead-android-red-triangle page and suddenly the recovery menu appeared. Must be a timing issue somehow.
My Karbonn Sparkle V appears to have bricked itself, I don't know why, I don't know how to fix it, and I don't have the money or time to replace it. I turned it off when I was going to a job interview, prior to which it was working fine. Afterwards I tried to turn it back on, and for the last 12 hours I've been fighting to get it working again with no success.
I can get into recovery mode, but nothing more. If allowed to try a normal boot, then it will either stay on the "Karbonn Smart" logo screen forever and ever amen, or it will APPEAR to boot, but once it reaches the lock screen it dies on its arse. The best-case is that the lock screen will stay up for about 3 seconds, then the screen will go black for another 3 seconds, and then we go back to the lock screen and the process repeats. OR, the lock screen comes up, 3 seconds, and then we go back to the bouncing dots loading screen forever and ever amen.
I tried a hard wipe from recovery mode - it's made absolutely no difference.
This is a stock phone which has only ever received the OTA updates; I've never rooted it, I don't have a custom recovery installed, and I've never used ADB before today.
I've downloaded a number of "stock ROMs" for this phone, but none of them actually work for me; it doesn't seem to matter whether I try to install them through Recovery mode\Apply update from ADB, or put them on the SD card and try "Apply update from SD card". For most of them, I get the error "failed to verify whole-file signature" and it won't install; I tried to install the stock file from https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/android-one-general/ota-links-t3287707 but that doesn't get me much further; The error becomes
"Package expects build thumbprint of 6.0.1/MMB290/2459718:user/release-keys or 6.0.1/MMB29K/2419427:user/release-keys; the device has 6.0.1/MOB31E/3142026:user/release-keys"
