The good thing about development phone like Moto G are that you can never brick your phone. It is very much recoverable. Try unlocking bootloader and then flash official firmware from this link http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
Use this link to unlock bootloader,

You can bring your phone back to life.
Hope it helps.

I would not wait for two weeks for replacement when we can bring the phone to life within 30min.
I agree a risk element in it. If the phone is basically faulty, then it is not worth trying the way I suggested. Has this worked before you started mess around?
Good luck..

If the phone is basically faulty (a potential hardware issue) the last thing one should do is unlock the bootloader and lose the warranty.

If you have ordered from flipkart Just call them and pretend that its not turning on at all.....and they will give you a hand to hand replacement!
I can return phone but it cost more then 60 EUR via DHL and i must wait long time...
Today i will try to unlock bootloader and flash firmware. Thanks you all, have you more suggestions?
I dont know what happened. This is strange problem because telephone work fine 5 hours and after power off, i see only Motorola Logo. I hope that i will not miss guarranty when i unlock bootloader.
Unlock device is finished. Can you give me tutorial for flashing stock firmware? I am noob
U used this tutorial: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/install-moto-g-uk-generic-firmwarestock-rom/
but after flashing i have the same problem
Is there any solution? If not, how i can lock bootloader because now i lose guarranty

I had exactly the same issue, after I unlocked the bootloader this happened to me, don't worry is not bricked just a software issue with some providers firmwares, what did I do? The good about this is, you should be able to put it in fastboot.
Read all before try it please
* I unlocked the bootloader (seems like you already did it)
* I flashed CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563599
Here the next issue was I needed to flash a ROM but I wasn't able to put any file in my device even mouting the USB in CWM or adb push, so: sideload
* I downloaded this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606943 (you could use other but that worked for me)
* I Put the zip file in the fastboot directory
* I turned on my device in recovery mode (CWM, you can do it by the fastboot, select recovery, use vol up to enter, vol down to move, power button doesn't work here).
* Wipe factory, cache and dalvik (just in case I think factory wipe is enough)
* I went to the option flash from zip file, flash from sideload (or similar not sure about the name but it says sideload)
adb sideload myromfile.zip
once the adb finish, CWM will notify you and you can flash your rom regularly. It will finish, then you should reboot, It should take about 5 minutes for the first boot. Then my phone worked again.
Sorry if I said something wrong, first time I talk here and I felt identified with your issue and wanted to help you.
Thank you. I flashed CWM but i can not enter to it. When i hold volume down + power button i enter in fastboot flash mode. How i can enter to recovery cwm? When i enter to recovery trough fastboot mode nothing happened. Phone has restart and appeared moto logo. When i flash it i got ".mismatched partition size".
Is there any tutorial for me ? I am very frustrated with this phone
sounds like the phone might be faulty if it happened and you didnt do anything to cause it ,
anyway another option for you is to try a external reset,you have attempted too flash other firmwares so not 100% sure it will work but give it a try through fastboot recovery.
click the link below and halfway down the page follow the instruction for "external reset"
https://motorola-global-portal.cust..._detail/a_id/97329/p/30,6720,9050/action/auth
This is my steps:
-Flash this falcon_retgb_user_4.3_14.10.0Q3.X-76-LGG-8_54_release-keys-cid7-Retail_GB via this tutorial http://www.theandroidsoul.com/install-moto-g-uk-generic-firmwarestock-rom/
-flash CWM V3 or V2
Do i need to flash some other stock ROM before i do external reset? EDIT; external reset does not work becase i can not enter to recovery and wipe data/cache...

Except it isn't a development phone and of course you can brick it. Try erasing the bootloader and recovery and see how you get on then. Im pretty sure it'd be bricked??
To OP - you should have returned phone especially as you are a noob, no offence but a noob trying to recover a phone which has 'broken' by itself is not going to end well especially as its impossible to tell if its hardware or software issue in the first place.
I wish you luck though.

To get into CWM after flash it, go to fastboot mode, then in the menu, use ONLY vol down and move to the recovery option, once in the recovery option push vol up.
It also could be you phone has a fault from factory.

You can perfeclty recover an erased or corrupt bootloader, and from there flash anything you want, including recovery. Yeah, it's an unbrickable phone.

Your phone seems to be fine. the only option worth a try is to flash official firmware that should go ok with a locked bootloader forget about custom recovery and rooms
and in any case do not unlock the bootloader until you some how solve this and in the picture you posted the phone already is in flash mode just make your PC to recognize your phone by installing the necessary drivers and flash
Find everything you need in the post above mine
I have a Moto G that has gotten "stuck", if that's a good description. If I start it, the initial Moto splash screens go fine and then it becomes a dark screen but backlight On and just stays stuck there for ever. (Is this what is called a boot loop? Not sure)
By using the Power + Down Vol key combo I did manage to get it to the boot menu. Unfortunately the Recovery Option there does not work. Shows a quick Moto bootup splash screen, then Says "Boot up failed" and falls to the boot menu again.
What's my best bet to recover from this?
I did install adb + fastboot on my laptop & then connected the Moto G with a USB Cable. fastboot seems to work. I could get the phone to reboot, and some other basic diagnostics. e.g. "fastboot oem get_unlock_data works". "fastboot devices" also shows my device Serial Number correctly. But I want to be careful before I issue any further erase or flash commands so I thought it best to post on here. What is the logical next step in the debug?
"adb devices" did not succeed.
The phone had the original Google / Motorola software so far and I'd never even attempted to flash it etc. Only whatever automatic updates got pushed by Google / Moto / Carrier over the network. Right before this happened I was in a call and got a bunch of pop ups saying Application xxx was being shut down.
The phone is out of warranty. It is still locked, but when I enter the details on the Moto Website it says it can be unlocked. So I can proceed to get the unlock codes etc. if that helps.
The exact SKU is XT1033. Boot menu says (Version 41.13; Battery OK; Device is locked; Status Code 0) if that is of any help. Was a Dual SIM phone on a GSM Carrier.
Tried issuing the commands
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
Both don't seem to have helped at all.
Any other ideas?
To flash anything you first need to unlock bootloader. Doing that erases all your data including internal memory. Then you can flash a recovery & a custom rom.

Thanks @Legolas!
I did not realize that. So I guess if I just tried a flashboot flash command it would fail since my phone is not unlocked at the moment.
Luckily I can get the unlock code from the Motorola site. I will proceed to do that then first and subsequently try all the other steps needing flashing.

Indeed. Very similar problems. Could be identical.
I've, in fact, even erased via fastboot & unlocked via motorola's site. Hasn't helped so far.
I haven't had the stomach to download a 500 MB stock firmware yet.
Who do you think our bootloader is different?
@carefulcat :
Well,I am on an unlocked unrooted Android L 5.0.2 XT1033 Asia Retail Edition (upgraded via OTA) which has Bootloader version 41.18.
You've just cleared the ROM it seems.
Unlocking the bootloader will wipe off all the data from your device.
It seems yours is still locked,you have the unlock code but didn't use it.
Which OS did you have?Exact version,region and type of upgrade.
And which commands have you used till now?
If you're clear with the basics try stocking a Stock Flash ROM (depending on your bootloader and previous OS) or custom recovery like TWRP or CW.

Took it to a repair shop, the said something was wrong with my mother, they fixed that and now the phone enters into recovery, what wont boot.
Will try the "qhsusb_dload" thing this week.
As per title, it just happened while I was using the phone while charging. Trying my luck as I'm not in the country(Australia) that I bought my Pixel from. Grateful for any suggestion that the sub can provide. Non rooted stock rom
You're only able to get into bootloader and that's all? I would suggest unlock the bootloader, a factory reset will follow. Try rebooting after that. If that doesn't work, at least your unlocked and you can fastboot boot twrp and reset that way or flash a stock rom. If nothing works you "may" have a defective device. I'm no expert but I would try those things first.
Yes only bootloader. What you have mentioned do not require recovery mode right ? Cos I can't boot into it. Thanks for your reply

no it doesnt, I suggested unlocking the bootloader first, that way it factory resets. this might fix the problem, if not its unlocked so he can flash the factory image.
Bump? I'm having this problem as well.
Same here. How would we unlock the bootloader of the phone when it's stuck in either a Google screen the reboots over and over again, or the bootloader interface (that won't load recovery)? Sorry about the noob question, but I'm not sure how to do it.

I'm having the same issue. My wife's Pixel entered a continuous boot loop today. It only loads the white screen that says "Google." I can enter the bootloader, but when I select "recover," it goes back to the bootloop. As far as I know, she is on Android 8.1, debugging mode is off and the phone is 100% factory.
If anyone has solved this issue, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
has anyone figured this out?? this happened to me today, i was using the phone, the poof it restarted itself and stayed in a boot loop. i can get into the recovery, i tried wipe/factory reset. any suggestions? google told me i need to send it to whatever company to get it fixed or get a new phone. verizon told me to go through insurance. insurance told me to go through verizon because i may be able to use the extended warranty. went back to verizon but they wont take it because the screen cracked a year ago. its not a deep crack and it didnt affect the phone at all, never had an issue. so now i go back to assurion and now they need an affidavit about my screen being cracked. im at a loss.... i havent rooted a phone since my droid x, then s3 days. so im essentially new again!
Same issue here. Phone starts on the bootloader (shows device is locked), but won't start recovery or boot any further.
I'm guessing it's time for a new phone? I hadn't taken the Android 10 update yet, so it was running Pie.
[edit] it's dead - won't let me unlock bootloader or switch boot slots

I had the same thing happen yesterday (not long after the Android 10 update). I was finally able to get it to boot after multiple tries and it stayed up long enough for me to enable "OEM unlocking" in Developer options. Now at least I have the option of unlocking the bootloader and re-flashing the OS with an image directly from Google.
Has anyone been able to get past this problem by reflashing the image? I suspect the underlying problem is some kind of hardware fault with eMMC, DDR, or the SOC itself.
One other interesting behavior I noticed is that the only way to shut it down and stop the bootloop is to select the "Power off" option in the bootloader menu. However, if I plug it in to charge when it is fully powered "off", it will start up the bootloop again.
Same sitution here. A couple of days after installaing it suddenly went inte a G-bootloop frenzy.
Erratic though, sometimes I could boot up (2-3/40 boots) but then it froze and started again.
Also Recovery and Safemode is very hard to get into.
Got in once or twice out of 100 boots, Bootloader Fastboot is generally reachable though.
It exhausted the battery and now I'm holding off trying to interfere, until I get more info off the net.
I've had some troubles trying to root my new phone, as above mentioned in the title. First off, when I try to boot into recovery mode via "adb reboot recovery" command, the phone restarts into a black screen with a dead android with a red triangle and 'no command' below. I haven't yet attempted to actually root my brand new phone yet because I wanted to backup my entire phone (stock ROM/Firmware, etc,.). I am afraid I will end up bricking it and have no ways to back it up. I had the same issue with my older LG G5 with the dead android. Why is there no recovery? And why have I been able to easily backup and root older phones from 2012 from LG but not my newer models?
It's really frustrating.
BTW, I posted this thread in the wrong area and I cannot find an option to delete it or move it to the Developers Section, my bad.

The same thing happened to me. I was hoping to find a way to unlock the bootloader but unfortunately, I can't find any way at all. I was also trying to find a way to boot to recovery mode but the controls are not the same as the other Nexus, Pixel & Android One devices out there. When I press the power, it automatically restarts back to the full UI.

Have you tried the simplest 'fastboot oem unlock' command (having checked the Allow OEM Unlock option in Developer's option; most Android One devices' bootloader can be unlocked this way)?
If it doesn't work, how about the below method, which I believe is the 'official' LG bootloader unlock:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-lg-g7-thinq/
I don't own the LG G7 One, am hoping to, if the bootloader can be unlocked and Magisk be installed.

Done all of that. Unfortunately, the "adb reboot bootloader" command does not take it to the bootloader screen. It just simply restarted the device.
So here is the deal.
This device (Galaxy A32 5G - SM A326B - Android 12) does not let me boot into the download mode in order to unlock bootloader and for eventually rooting it.
OEM unlock has been selected in the dev options.
No button pressing configuration is working.
Trying to access the fastboot mode in the recovery mode only shows a black screen with a red writing on top that fastboot mode is being loaded, but nothing is happening and Odin doesn't recognize the device.
I just want that turquoise, blueish download mode screen, but for the love of it, it just doesn't work getting there.
This is my backup device and I just want to root it. Coming from OnePlus I am spoiled but the fact that I can't access this mode with all kinds of button tryouts is just nagging on me.
Anyone experienced something similar?
Some help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Yes, among other things. It just never enters that mode. It either restarts, goes into charging mode or reboots to recovery.

Thx for this useful information. I could enter the download mode with this program but interestingly there is no way to use volume up button for proceeding to unlock the bootloader. Odin recognized the device properly but no way to unlock the bootloader. Isn't that strange? Also I did not see the warning screen, it went straight to the download mode screen.
I did not expect this to be such a pain...
Glad it worked! Samsungs always seem to have some sort of strange issue. I was recently stuck in a bootloop for a half hour until I finally got the key combo for recovery to work. Since it never turns off it becomes a pain!

I actually figured it out without the need of any 3rd part software.
There was obviously one option that I haven't tried yet. Pressing both volume buttons and then plugging in the USB cable till the warning screen shows up. That's it
Anyway, thx for taking your time to reply.

Hello Pal, were you able to root the device? I have bought an A33 5G, not sure if I will be able to root it. Extracting the boot.img file from original rom, patching it with Magisk and flashing back to the phone works? Can you use fastboot for it or do you need ODIN?

Hello again.
Yes, I managed to root the device.
I used Odin for flashing the patched boot image. AFAIK, using fastboot isn't possible, hence Odin.
But make sure you have a backup in place, coz in my case, initially applying a patched image, led to another factory reset (the second one after unlocking the bootloader).
