Basically the 4.4.4 update hard bricked my phone, won't even boot into bootloader. I made no modifications at all, not even root, only unlocking the bootloader. I was on the phone to motorola for half an hour trying to get a replacement, but they wouldn't hear a word of it because the boot loader is unlocked so apparently it's all my responsibility, not their's at all for pushing a corrupted file...
Basically stick to 4.4.2 as long as you can. If anything, 4.4.4 is a downgrade, at best a side-grade. Much like 4.4.x all together really - really wish i'd stayed on 4.3
So I there anything i can do to unbrick it? I'm buying a new one anyway, but might use the "bricked" one for testing ROMs or something but if I can't get to fastboot there's nothing much I can do.
Moto G will not power up
Plug it into the charger
Hold the VOL DOWN key
While still holding the VOL DOWN key, press and hold the POWER key
Hold both keys down for over 120 seconds. This is more than two minutes and will seem like a long time. You might want to time yourself to make sure you hold it longer than two minutes.
After holding the keys down for more than two minutes, release them.
The Flash Boot screen will display, and the Normal Reboot option will be highlighted
Press the VOL UP key and the device will start a normal reboot.
If you have tried the above and it didn't work, try this:
Plug in the phone for 15 minutes.
Proceed to Step 2 above.

If the bootloader has mysteriously become unlocked, then clearly you did modify the phone and they are entitled to decline a refund. This is made perfectly clear when the procedure to unlock is executed.
That's why you should be careful of anything you do with the phone once the bootloader is unlocked.

Hi, DO NOT take that from Motorola, because you live in the UK which is in Europe (Thats important) Motorola are legally obliged to help you as unlocking the bootloader/loading custom ROMs on to your device is seen as a legitimate practice and not a voiding act of your statuary warranty.
As long as you don't alter hardware they are NOT entitled to decline a refund/replacement under the circumstances, however they can refer you to the retailer you purchased it from but the rules still stand that they have to help you get a new/refurbished phone or a refund
Use this to prove it to them and make them pay up: http://fsfe.org/freesoftware/legal/flashingdevices.en.html
Hope this could be of assistance to you and I'm sorry if its off-topic but it needs to be made clear to all EU Motorola owners

No problem, I checked on it before I installed CM on my Moto G last week
Hope I could help and good luck with the phone
Good luck with unbricking your phone, but oh no, I've already downloaded the 4.4.4 update!
Oh wait, my phone works just fine...
And if it immediately bricked your phone, how do you know that "If anything, 4.4.4 is a downgrade, at best a side-grade."?

I don't want to get off-topic but if an update bricked your phone its a pretty BIG downgrade as it went from a phone with many uses to a paperweight (allbeit a pretty paper weight) as it has lost functionality and its the softwares fault.
Its personal opinion
OP needs to establish if he has simply not encountered the ''Moto G won't turn on' issue. I included instructions above. It could all be just bad timing.

After all mine works perfectly fine after the update and I'm UK Tesco.

Same here and plenty of subtle improvements (get rid of the Carrier name woo-hoo) and bug fixes in 4.4.4 - (several features of my Automation app - MacroDroid suddenly work when they didn't before), not to mention one or two security patches. Slightly better battery life and noticeably smoother animations are a nice bonus too. New Dialler is a big improvement - the old one was ugly.

It depends, my friend who has a Moto G update to 4.4.4 lost all functionality of his apps and his clock stopped working. It just depends as his phone wasn't rooted with no bootloader unlock

Of course a bricked phone is useless, but something obviously went wrong with the OP's phone, and its probably a coincidence that it happened while updating. It's the absurdity of the comments "DO NOT download the 4.4.4 update" and "4.4.4 is a downgrade" that got me to post, because its pretty clear that many people have updated without any issue.
Not besmirching the OP's problem, and like I said, I wish him well in getting his phone working.
Also, depending how old the phone is and where you bought it from, isn't it an option just to return it to the seller for an exchange. Just tell them it stopped working and you want a replacement phone?
So today(5-15) I saw online that T-Mobile USA released the 5.1.1 OTA for there branded Galaxy S6/S6 Edge, so any info on when the Verizon branded version is coming out? I'm having multiply major bugs(wifi, memory, and lagging) across 3 different S6 devices(original device and 2 replacements) since launch day. Also, the Verizon Branded OTA that just came out brought me new bugs like with Google voice to text giving me 2 new bugs and making it unusable. Also, apps are freezing like crazy and ends up freezing the whole phone and when I try to lock the phone with the power button when an app is freezing it opens up the camera instead of locking the phone and most of the time I have to restart the phone when this happens and it happens quite often, but only started after the Verizon OTA. Also, from launch day(across all 3 devices) I been having memory issues with the phone, it tells me it has between 1GB-1.2GB of total memory on the phone and I only have 748MB total available with only very few apps on the phone at the moment, everything closed and all the bloatware gone off the phone. I herd that the Verizon OTA we just got was suppose to fix the memory issue, but apparently for me it did nothing at all with the memory on my phone. and lastly I'm having the major wifi bug a lot of us are having witch for me started on the 6th day after launch and never worked again even after I had 3 different devices and still the same thing is still ongoing, and in fact the Verizon OTA we just got made the wifi bug even worst then before.
So the 5.1.1 OTA is really needed for me to fix these ongoing and new bugs I'm having and after 2 months I'm getting sick and tired of waiting for patches to come out!
You probably should go into your system recovery and clear cache. That will probably help a majority of your bugs.

I already did that and nothing changed at all, and like I said I had 3 different devices and nothing changed at all. In fact the 3rd device I got which I still have was giving me problems from very first time I turned it on and during the initial setup as soon as I turned it on from the FedEx box and the keyboard was slow and not putting the letters I clicked in the box and to click next/skip, restart or power off I had to use my pointer finger and press multiple times and fast like a woodpecker would on a tree in order for those functions to respond, and before I can even finish the initial setup I had to already do a factory reset on the phone. Even typing right now in this box responding to you the phone is lagging just typing now.
Don't think Verizon has announced anything yet. The current G920VVRU1A0E2 works fine for me.
To help with keyboard lag - go into settings and make sure the proper language is intalled and updated. Have you tried different keyboards? Swiftkey?

Well 3 different phones since launch day have been giving me all different kinds of problems and never had a device with out a major problem in it and the new Verizon OTA that just came out in June made the phone even worst then before. The Build for the update is G920VVRU1A0E2, and in fact I even had problems getting the update on my phone because from launch day of the OTA-4days after it came out the OTA would not fully download and give me error code 503 and it wasn't until the 5th day that it worked and then when I finally got it installed on my phone it just brought more bugs to the phone like I talked about in the OP

Have you tried using Odin to flash back to stock with the full tar file instead of the update? If not go here and give it a shot. If you use the OE2 one you will have to factory data reset to wipe your phone clean either after or before you flash.

yea I tired that, but this started as soon as I turned on my phone for the very 1st time trying to do the initial set up, plus like I said even pressing next/skip, power off or reset in the initial setup was a hassle. I had to take my pointer finger and point it down and press fast and many times like a woodpecker in order for the buttons functions to work and I could not even finish the initial setup and had to already do a factory reset before the initial setup was even finished on the 3rd device I have now. The phone is so bad that even clicking the home button some of the apps, Google search and weather is not on screen right away and takes second or 2 to show up, its lagging to show up.

3 different devices and still the same exact major things plus new things on each device are going on with the phone. Switching out the device should fix it all, but I guess this is not the case here. Plus about the wifi issues I'm in a XDA forum 13 pages long about the phones wifi not working(I know it says edge, but it's the same problems with the S6 and S6 edge so no difference)

They already said that the new update(5.1.1) is taking away root
My 1st phone which arrived on Sat came with G920VVRU1A0E2 out of the box.
Other than normal setups, and uninstalling Google Play Services and Google Play it has not had any problems.
Perhaps you should go into a store and show them how it is not working?

I did on launch day, I went back to the same corporate store a few hours later and got into a fight with the sales rep who sold me the phone a few hours earlier and the store GM because they were Ignorant because my phone was hot as fuc k at 90F and hotter and they said nothing was wrong. On top of that they even lied to me about having the edge devices in stock on launch day and even pulled out the normal S6 trying to trick me and it was not until I said something did he say oh this is not an edge and then said there was no edge's in stock, but while I was waiting in line I asked him and 2 other reps and they all said they had the white 64GB edge in stock. They rather lie to there customers to make a sale then tell the truth(at least this corporate store location), and then when you have problems with the phone they don't care to help you at all. Even 611 said this was very wrong and made a complaint on mine and 611's behalf on the corporate store and the sales rep.

Here is an update, as of recently my phone is getting really really hot and temperatures of 120F+ and even Verizon technical support saw that through their diagnostic system as it was actually on those temperatures at that very moment when they were looking. Also, from me just being tech savvy and Verizon technical support confirming it as well this phone is also supposed to have a safeguard in the phone and if it gets too hot the device is upposed to power off on its own, but apparently the safeguard is not working because when the phone gets very hot the battery starts flashing and in the middle of the screen it tells me the phone is very hot and it only lets me click OK. If I'm charging the phone the battery flashes and say the same thing but just adds unable to charge, & I can unplug the charger and immediately plug it back in to the phone and it will start charging again and then a few minutes later it will give me the same message. When it's doing that its not supposed to tell me anything it's supposed to just shut off and its not doing so.
So there overheating policy states that I have to bring my phone too a corporate store and they're going to replace the device right on spot. So Sunday I went to the corporate store to do that, but for some reason their system wouldn't allow them to process this because it didn't have an option to do it and the general manager and the store representative we're booth trying together for at least 45 minutes. They ultimately ended up just sending me a replacement device via Fedex to my house and when the phone arrives today(7-2) I have to bring the overheating device that I currently have to the store so they can do what they need to do to send it back because by law I'm not allowed to send an overheating device back. Verizon corporate store processed my order on Sunday and I was supposed to get the device on Tuesday but I'm getting it today due to inclement weather at the FedEx Memphis Tennessee hub and so Fedex at the Memphis Tennessee hub was at a complete standstill and my package was part of it.
Once I get my 4th replacement device and start using it for a while I will let you know how it's working
Hi guys. I have recently updated my pixel 3 to android 10 and wow tons of bugs.
Now my notification is not showing. My home button is not working in any gesture mode, same as my multi task button. The only thing working is the back button. Not to mention the update failed 2 times earlier (stuck on google logo.)
I am planning to sue google for selling goods with manufacture defects. The same thing other people did with pixel 1 years ago. Any one wants to join. I have a membership with a lawsuit service so want to try to use it for at least once this year.

My Pixel 3 is running beautifully. No issues what so ever. Have you performed a full reset and installed the factory image? Booted in safe mode to see if one of your apps is causing the issue? Love how there are so many people on the Sue wagon. No wonder the courts are so full of crap.
Having a membership in a lawsuit service says a lot about you. I have had my Pixel 3 since launch and it has worked flawlessly since the day I purchased it.
I would suggest a factory reset and then install the factory image then add one app at a time untill you find the offenders.

Sounds like you were too impatient with the first two attempts at upgrading. It can take quite a long time sometimes for the phone to completely update itself and optimize the apps. The more apps you have, the longer it will take. Stopping this update process will cause all kinds of issues with your phone - the type of issues that you describe now.
Best bet would be to do a full wipe and installation of Android 10. This means losing all of your data, but it will fix your issues.
The root of your problem is not a hardware issue - it's user error.
A lawsuit service?
Lmao, no.

I don't know what is happening here on this thread. When a phone manufacturer crushes your phone with an update and tells you that they don't have a good backup method and the only way to save your phone is to factory reset it and lost most of your data. Then the people here just say, then do it.
This phone sells 880 tax included not 699 as oneplus 7 pro. (Besides, that phone is the one more like 880 worth)
I hope all these people will face problem one day and told by the customer service that a specialist will contact them who won't show up no matter how long they wait.

You have a 'membership for a lawsuit service'? You sound like an absolute weapon.
Hi, haotingliu1990.
I, like the rest of the people who have posted, have not had the negative experience that you are having, nor do I want part in a lawsuit. Also like others, would recommend wiping your phone and starting fresh. You mentioned that there no backup solutions but there actually are quite a few...
1. Google's built in back up and sync. This will take care of apps that support it, sms, wifi networks, and maybe a few other things (wallpaper, settings, etc. I don't remember all).
2. An app like titanium backup. That will cover any app and it's data that you need it to.
3. An app like sms backup and restore to, obviously, backup and restore your sms.
4. Google photos will automatically sync your pictures to the web so they don't get lost.
5. Some apps have a built in backup feature so you can export the settings to your storage.
6. Plug your phone into your computer and back up anything from your internal storage.
You can use a combo of those options and keep everything you need. As a note, multiple of those are provided directly by Google, so I doubt arguing that Google provides no backup support will get you very far.
Once you've backed up what you need, it's easy to start clean. You can either use the stock recovery to preform a factory reset, or, if your bootloader is unlocked, use the factory images (that Google provides).
As the rest of the people commenting don't seem to be experiencing what you are, it's a safe assumption that starting fresh would take care of your issues. Let me know if you'd like help. I have before and am willing to again, help someone one-on-one through the update/backup/install process to make sure it works for you.
I was wondering if anyone else purchased the unlocked version from Samsung and it arrived with Developer options already enabled.
I have never seen that before, so it made me wonder if somehow I was receiving a device that had been returned. There don't appear to be any issues (packaging was sealed, device appeared new, etc).
The alternative would be that it restore the menu as part of the transfer from a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra backup, but this would be the first time. The Note 20 was restored from an S10 Plus, but the settings had to be enabled again on the new device.

So Samsung support is a lot like Amazon. If it isn't in the FAQs, they attempt to make up an answer or connect you to someone else. Pretty sure I could have spent an hour getting help trying to make calls on my toaster if I sounded confident it's possible.
I was initially asked for my IMEI to answer the question. I asked how a device that just released would have an expired warranty, but was told it was to verify the device was new. After giving it, I was told about having the premium warranty...
This led to being told how the option was enabled as a new way to make things easier on the user. When asking why they enabled something that could potentially void my warranty, I was sent to someone else who claimed it was a glitch. When asking why the OEM unlock option was missing (which I later found has a time delay on newer devices), I was put on hold for 15 minutes.
I finally said I had somewhere to be and was told they were happy to have helped. I still don't know if it was part of the restore, but i'll be waiting the week to make sure OEM unlock appears before I go back to discuss a defective firmware.
I did a restore from my s21 Ultra and the developer options was not enabled. Also oem unlock was there from the first second I enabled it.
Interesting... I am torn between wiping to find out if that fixes it and trying to fix it first to end up wiping it anyway.
I have been given the Nokia G300 (N1374DL) by Straight Talk with their upgrade program to keep compatibility with their Voice Over LTE compatibility requirement. I was wondering why there is no listing for this product or mention in the forums for this device. I have searched every possible way to find this device listing, but there was nothing pother than a launch announcement.
Nokia G300 is a new dirt-cheap 5G smartphone from HMD Global
The Nokia G300 offers a 6.5-inch LCD, Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 SoC, a 4,470mAh battery and more Read on.

Can we get a forum started, and possibly a root solution?

I actually ended up purchasing the Pixel 6 Pro refurbished for half price. This Nokia G300 was not able to handle my application usage. I had frequent freezes, apps just dying, etc. The device isn't even 5 months old, and it was dying.

For me it just seems to not work with WIFI at all, which is sad because some apps don't even recognize that I have internet, period.

Try holding every those buttons except the power and plug in a charge cord to the device. This will act the same as pressing the power button.
