Hey guys. So my Moto X keeps restarting every time I plug it into my computer, most likely due to my custom kernel. So I decided I would flash another kernel downloaded straight onto the phone, but whenever I select recovery from the bootloader menu, the phone just shuts off. Any ideas? Thanks.
Try reflashing the recovery? Are you selecting recovery using VOL+ or the Power button?
I downloaded the goo manager app and rebooted into recovery. All good now. Thanks for the replies.
RSD lite it in fast boot mode and then try again

Hey guys. I keep losing recovery after a few days when I install a new Rom. It happened on when I was on 4.4.4 as well. I'm sure I'm missing a step. Any thoughts?? I would not have a problem if I had a computer. Also if there's any way to flash a recovery from the phone itself please let me know since I can't enter stock recovery too. The Led doesn't change color when the phone boots up so pressing volume buttons doesn't go into recovery. I tried using flashify and quickboot to enter recovery but it doesn't help. THERE IS NO RECOVERY. PERIOD
Hello,
I foolishly selected boot into recovery mode in ROM manager hoping it would work and now my phone is soft bricked. It's suck at the boot logo. This phone doesn't have recovery mode only download mode. But I can't keep the phone on long enough because it powers off and goes back to the boot screen. I should add that when I plug it in the computer it goes off and vibrates but when I put it in the charging port in stays on. Help me please.

Thanks, I restored my phone.
I really need help.
I've got my phone bricked and I can't even boot to flash mode or to recovery mode.
The last thing I've done is boot to twrp and clear data because I am going to change rom. But there is a certain error that pops up. and forgot what was it. After that, I try to flash the rom. But the same error pops up. If I remember correctly. e:ex4ts is not found? Something like that? And now. When I turn on my phone. The xperia logo still pops up. Then after that its only black screen. I tried going to recovery (power + Vol up + vol down) and also tried flash mode but nothing really happens. Its like not being detected. And when I try to charge it. The xperia logo pops up and black screen appears. The charging icon/animation is not popping up. Is there anyway to fix this? Please help. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Your phone is now bricked and won't boot into recovery.You need to flash stock rom via flashtool to recover your phone.Is that your phone's bootloader Lock?Unable to boot into recovery always happen in locked bootloader phone.
Use Flashtool to flash stock rom. But be careful to connect phone only when prompted. It should boot after that, then you can root phone again and try to install recovery again.
I have unlocked bootloader already. I think there is something wrong with the phone. I can't boot to flash mode and recovery mode. The screen continues to go black light. I've tried for more than 20 times already. But still. I can't go to flash mode. Can I go to flash mode by only connecting my phone to my pc?

use recovery img to flash via flashtool.you'll get your recovery back
Thank you so much for answering my query. I figured it out before reading this. Yes, I forgot how to use flashtool. I forgot how to boot into flash mode. I used the method in Samsung devices (All buttons must be pressed) which technically my mistake. Thanks again.
Hi guys,
I was wondering what if anything I can do to unbrick the phone. Currently when turning the phone on, the notification led flashes green once, the zuk logo flashes briefly on the screen and then it powers off.
Connecting to pc with volume buttons down in any combination does the same thing. The phone screen stays black and a solid blue notification led comes up with no change.
QFIL cannot detect the phone, neither can adb or fastboot.
The bricking happened while attempting to install a custom rom. I had unlocked bootloader and accessed root on the stock system, and wanted to try out a different rom.
Thanks in advance, I just got the phone yesterday and I'm really hoping it's not permanently bricked.
Hi bobtheball,
You should be able to select recovery mode at he beginning of the boot (push volume down when you have the very first menu, and then select recovery).
I assume you've installed TWRP to flash the rom, so once you're on TWRP, you can push a new rom and try to flash again.
What ROM did you try to install?

Hi, what my original message meant to say is that I've tried every recommended procedure that I've seen. Pushing volume down while booting does nothing. The screen does not turn on and all I get is a blue notification led. Because of this I can't access the bootloader menu to boot into recovery.

Hi, your phone act as if it had not enough battery to even present the menu. Try charging the phone for half hour before trying vol-down+power button combination.
I believe i've royally screwed up and i want to know if there's anything I can do to save my phone.
I downloaded the latest BeyondROM from here after being on a previous version for about a year (not sure which one I was on):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...evelopment-exynos/rom-beyondrom-v6-0-t4017921
I flashed the zip file through TWRP and only after flashing did I realize that I was on TWRP 3.3.1-11 and not 3.4.0-3, which I'm guessing is why my phone is now stuck on the boot logo when I boot it. I went back into TWRP and cleared the Dalvik & standard cache again after this but no dice.
But it gets worse. I then tried to upgrade to 3.4.0-3 by flashing it from TWRP 3.3.1-11 using the recovery partition, hoping to reflash the firmware after doing so.
After doing this and my phone rebooting, not only am I stuck on the boot screen, but now I can no longer enter recovery mode either by holding Bixby + Vol Up + Power. My phone isn't recognized by my PC or Odin now either.
Is my phone completely bricked, or is there a way to salvage this mess i've made?
Could really use some help.
Thanks guys.
If you can go to download mode, try re-flashing the stock Samsung firmware via Odin.

Thanks for the suggestion, however that's my primary issue. I can't get to download mode (which really should be recovery mode since I have TWRP).
Do you think it could be an issue with me rebooting to recovery mode after upgrading TWRP using TWRP itself? Maybe my phone needs to be hard powered off once to access TWRP again?
And since I have that failed ROM install, the only way to power off the phone would be to wait for the battery to drain.
Power+volume down+Brixby goes right into download mode bypassing the recovery

My phone just keeps restarting when Power + vol down are held. Looks like draining the battery didn't help either. I'm stuck on the boot screen even when plugged in with 0% battery. When I remove the USB Cable and hold Vol down + Power, the phone seems to turn off because there's no battery, but immediately after plugging in a power cable, the phone automatically turns on by itself again.
You can try this, but best not to flash anything without charging battery first. You can charge while phone is off:
