Hey guys, how are you?
Well, I wished to root my Moto G, so I (tryed?) to unlock the bootloader. Alright, done it, but then I ran into some trouble...
After the booting up, everything started forceclosing and since then, when I try to boot it, I get a black screen after the Motorola logo.
Now, I am really really worried about my phone. I got it a month ago. I'm so afraid I really f****d up my phone right now that my hands are shaking.
I'm new to Android, so sorry if the solution is pretty obvious. And if it's not, could explain it very carefully to me? I don't know what to do.
My best wishes to you, guys.
I'm assuming you used superboot if so that would happen.
The logo sort of blured out right just press volume down and power and it would work
Or did this happen when you were just trying to unlock bootloader?

Yeah, that happenned when I was trying to unlcok bootloader.
And well, my computer now doesn't even recognizes my phone.
EDIT: It appears as "Fastboot falcon S" in the Device Manager. Tried installing some drivers I found in the Internet, but it didn't work.
Explain exactly what happened please. Was the unlock successful and did you just bootup normally after or did u do anything else in fastboot mode? Why are you trying to install fastboot drivers again, as you already wouldve had them to unlock the bootloader. Did you try installing recovery or some root img from fastboot? You said its forceclosing, but it isnt starting at all now?
Some things you can do right now (if your bootloader is unlocked) is to flash a recovery (twrp,cwm) through fastboot and if you think most system files (or settings) are beyond repair, flash your firmware version though fastboot. Will point you to the guides for them, but post more info if you want help.

Alright, just after I unlocked, when I was booting, I got a message saying that "xxxx has stopped working/failed to initialize/something like that". And then, when I rebooted, I got the usual message of the "bootlocker has been unlocked". After that, the Motorola logo started animating, but then I just got a black screen. I can't turn it off and the battery just got depleted (I'm charging right now).
When I try to connect it in my computer, the PC recognizes it as "MTP Device" or "Fastboot falcon S" when fastbooted. I can't install any drivers and the Motorola Device Manager doesn't recognizes it either.
Well, if there is some missing information, just ask me. I tried to describe my problem the best I could. Anyway, sorry for my bad English and thanks in advance for any effort trying to discover what's wrong.
Motorola Device Manager isn't helpful in this state as it doesn't handle things in fastboot. You already have all the required drivers (fastboot falcon S is the right driver afaik, falcon being motog codename) for flashing your stock firmware.
1. First, you can try the "Factory" option in bootloader (the third one, use volume down to move selector, volume up to select), though this might not really work for major issues.
2. When in fastboot mode, use "fastboot getvar all" to get the firmware details if you already didn't know about it.
3. Otherwise if yours is a standard gsm (non dualsim/non cdma), just download Blur_Version.174.44.9.falcon_umts.Retail.en.GB (UK stock for gsm, 4.4.2)
Download the mfastboot files to use rather than fastboot for flashing. You might need to modify your commands a bit for various firmwares.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47820707 (refer this thread for flashing your stock firmware)
All the firmwares are in either of the links below (all around 400mb):
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
(or)
http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27
I still don't get why many ppl are getting these errors after unlocking, very bad unlock method of moto if so ( I didnt get any such issues though).
When I use the "fastboot getvar all" command, it says "waiting for device". The phone is already connected, but the Moto G doesn't recognizes it's connected either.
I'm getting more and more afraid I really hardbricked it.

Tried installing these drivers? Your fastboot doesn't seem to be setup properly. How did you unlock without a working fastboot driver? You are trying that command in bootloader mode right?
Already installed it from the start. The message I got is always this:
"There aren't any updates for your device at the moment
Current Version: N/A"
My fastboot: Doesn't matter the operation I do, I always get this <waiting for device> and the phone is already connected into the computer. And the phone doesn't recognizes it is connected too.
And greeeeat news: my phone now doesn't charges either. I get stuck on a screen with a battery logo and 0%, when connected to the charger. Still, I still can access the fastboot mode. Well, am I lucky or not?
I'm pretty confused with this. How exactly did you unlock without a working fastboot (no waiting for device issue)? Did you change your pc drivers after unlock or trying this from a different pc? When you say "phone doesn't recognizes it is connected" you mean it says "Connect USB data cable" below "Device is UNLOCKED"? If so, maybe try another usb port cause it should normally say "Transfer Mode: USB Connected" regardless of proper drivers.
Your phone will chrarge no matter what though, no worry about that. It needs to say "Battery OK (Charging)" when connected to PC
No, as long as you have working your device isn't technically bricked in any sense. Don't worry, get that fastboot working again and anything can be fixed.
Also you didnt say whether or not you tried that "Factory" option in bootloader!

OMG. I tried that "Factory" option before but it didn't work. Now I tried a second time and it worked. Thanks a lot! Really :laugh:
Anyway, now my phone is back again and rooted. Thanks for the help, guys!

Guys the problem occurs due to corruption of /data folder. Even I had the same issue.
What you can do is
1. Connect your phone to PC in fastboot mode.
2. In fastboot, enter the command "adb erase userdata" and "adb erase cache" without quotes and reboot you phone. It will work for most of the devices, if it doesn't I have some other workaround too.

The log you have posted contains only the help commands of adb and not the actual commands you gave.
Give a try to factory reset from fastboot mode on your phone. And do you a custom recovery installed in your phone?

I had flash stock firmware

Hi there,
apparently I screwed something up while trying to prepare my 6X for Lineage
I did the OEM unlock but FRP Lock is still active and somehow this prevents me from doing anything else.
The combination of problems seems quite special, I've found (and tried) a lots of tipps for softbricked devices here but unfortunately none of them worked for me.
When restarting I get the warning that the device is not secure and will boot now - however it is stuck on "booting now" until the battery is drained.
It starts into Android when charged again but on every restart it will be stuck again.
When in "booting now" only Vol- key combination works when connected via USB to a PC. All other combinations (Vol+ , Power and Vol+/-) have no effect. Doesn't matter if connected to PC or not.
I can only get into fastboot, however I can't flash images (remote command not allowed), seems to be because of FRP lock.
The device is recognized (fastboot devices) and HiSuite sees it too. Drivers are OK IMHO.
Simply locking it again is not possible, the fastboot lock/unlock options don't work and when booted OEM unlock is greyed out in the options.
dload method is not available, because I can't get into erecovery since the key combination doesn't work.
I also tried factory reset, but:
doing it in the options doesn't work - it reboots and is then stuck in booting. After charging it everything is still there, so no reset at all.
doing it with *#*# 2846579#*#* doesn't work - says can't do it because I have a google account. Removed the device from my account, message remains.
erecovery is not available, can't get in the menue
Any help is greatly appreciated, I would be very happy to just restore it to default settings.
Cheers
Did you removed your screen lock password before unlocking bootloader?
yes, i did. At the moment I don't have a screen lock pw set. Should I set one?
Maybe you need to use dc unlocker
hm, not sure. I got the unlock code from Huwai and it worked. I read up on dc unlocker, how do you think it could help?

Look into DC unlocked Phoenix. It can write to the phone in fastboot mode if the bootloader and frp is locked. I used it and it worked... Cost 20 dollars not better than buying a new phone
Thanks, will try it in the next days and post my results.
Hello.
I did something wrong while trying to flash TWRP on my pixel 2, I am now stuck at the bootloader, and I cannot boot System or Recovery. While at the bootloader screen, it says Device State : unlocked. If I try to get to download mode, it says "ERROR: Operation Denied". If I try to go into recovery, it says "ERROR: Slot Unbootable: Load Error". If I try "Start", I get the same error message.
Also, adb or fastboot don't seem to be able to "see" the pixel connected to the computer. I believe my cables are good since I was able to flash Magisk and reflash the whole system with them before bricking it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Just as a reference for anyone else who needs the fix and can't be bothered opening another thread.
SOLUTION: At the menu where it is stuck and saying device fail etc, plug in your usb cable to the mobile, press and hold the POWER button for 10 seconds, it will now recognise your phone under fastboot.
Once that is cleared, it's pretty much straightforward flashing latest pixel 2 image via fastboot and problem solved.
sidenote: Issue came with anyone who tried to flash december security updates and above as of what I heard.
I will try that, thanks.
So, several things :
Holding down the power button had no effect other than restarting the boot menu, but Fastboot never became available.
Opening up the phone and disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it made Fastboot available again. This would be in line with other users that let the phone battery discharge completely before regaining fastboot access.
Sidenote : opening up this phone is not for the faint of heart. I managed to damage something on the motherboard doing so (probably a static electricity discharge), the screen ended up displaying gibberish. I was able to salvage my phone by replacing the motherboard. I had ordered a replacement motherboard when I thought all was lost with no fastboot, and I had it on hand. Expensive little sucker...

Same thing happened to me except I never even tried to root. Just pulled the phone out of my pocket, and the little Android dude was belly up. It's showing device locked - and although I had it in Dev. mode from weeks back (thought USB Debugging was enabled) it fails to respond to adb commands, boot-loader mode, etc.
...Looks like Google laid an egg with this one.
Pixel 2 - "ERROR: Slot Unbootable: Load Error"
If you get the above error you will find that you cannot boot into recovery and the phone stays in the bootloader screen each time you try to start the phone. If your bootloader is unlocked you might be able to recover your phone to flash a stock image and revive. My problem started when I tried to restore a nandroid backup after trying out Android Q beta 1. I got the error mentioned above.
Most of the people recommended that I get a replacement from Google support as they had tried everything but it didn't work. Well right here in XDA Pixel 2 forum there is a solution waiting to be used. I am reproducing it from the post titled

A possible way to resurrect a bricked Pixel 2...
Hey guys, I have just been able to get mine alive. The device started to be recognized (USB/fastboot) after about 10 unsuccessful attempts to start the system: "Start", from bootloader.
So what exactly happened and what I did:
1. Bricked a Pixel 2.
2. It started into bootloader and showed the "slot unbootable" error.
3. The device was not recognized by any of my machines at all, lsusb did not show anything new in the system, and, respectively, fastboot did not see the device.
4. The default option in the bootloader is "Start" if I remember correctly. So I just pressed the power button and did not release it until I noticed a vibration. It were about 10 unsuccessful attempts of system loading before that vibration.
5. Right after that vibration I connected a generic (NONAME) USB-C <-> USB-A cable to both the device and my Linux machine, and fortunately the device was recognized by the system and fastboot was able to detect the device correctly. So I flashed the a factory image, and it went just fine.
Unquote
Let me confirm that this works. I kept the power button down while the phone was connected via USB to the PC for at least 5 mins. During several reboots suddenly I got a beep from the PC which indicated that ADB was working. I flashed a stock image and voila the pixel 2 is back in operation.
Hope this helps several other people who might have this problem.

If the boot loader is locked look for a script for unlocking the bootloader from recovery or bootloader state. I did find it but cannot remember. My bootloader was unlocked so I did not have to use it.

So, I have a really really odd situation. I have an MDM on my phone, MASS360. I typed in the phone's password wrong too many times, and it locked me out of the phone. The phone says to reach out to the IT Department to fix it. I reached out to the IT Department, but they weren't able to fix it. So I have a bit of a conundrum. OEM Unlock is off, and so is USB debugging. I cant unlock the phone to turn them on. I also can't factory reset (even from the recovery menu) because of the MDM's policy. Is there a way to Sideload a file or something to factory reset the phone? Any other ways that I can factory reset the phone? I'd also be fine with installing another ROM on the phone if its possible.

you bet! Welcome to XDA btw!
I have almost exactly the same issue. I was tinkering with MDM 'force PIN' and then stupidly removed the device (Samsung SM -T505) from MDM (Scalefusion) before disabling the PIN lock. Now the PIN is not recognised, I can't get into the the home screen at all because of the PIN, the recovery menu is missing wipe data/factory reset and (of course) USB debugging is NOT enabled. If I try to flash a stock ROM, ODIN reports 'SetupConnection..' but eventually times out without sending anything. ADB devices list is empty. However, I can get into ADB sideload from the recovery menu and ADB devices (on the PC) then shows a device in sideload mode. I tried loading the Samsung stock ZIP, but the tablet reported signing errors and quit.
Is it possible to sideload a stock rom? Or a 'force factory reset' zip file of some sort? Or perhaps from SD card?Choosing the bootloader menu shows 'Fasboot Mode' in red with device state - locked (also in red.
I m not trying to crack an ebay cheepy or anything else (I have the receipt to prove purchase), but I REALLY need to get back into this darned thing! I suppose at least one can say that the Knox system works well!.
