Moto X DE stuck at bootloader, FB does not work

Yesterday after enabling Motorola Connect (sometime in the following 3 hours) my Moto X locked up. On restart it would only go to the Unlocked Bootloader warning screen and then sit there, no looping. I have access to TWRP, but it cannot access any internal storage from the look of the command line messages and will fail on Wipe with E: Unable to mount for each partition. I can get into Fastboot mode and can use mfastboot to push the latest VZW image and recovery to the phone, but on reboot TWRP is still there and the phone sticks at the Unlocked Bootloader screen. When using Fastboot or RSD Lite I get no errors when pushing files over, but the phone will not boot.
To verify if I actually was getting data to flash and rule out that it was bad images I tried flashing CWM6.0.3.6 (since TWRP isn't doing anything anyway) and it completed as expected, but on reboot TWRP was still present.
I don't know what is keeping data from getting permanently written to flash, but that seems to be where my problem is. My bootloader is unlocked and the phone was rooted but was stock VZW firmware other than a mod to enable WiFi tethering and Titanium Backup freeze of some VZW bloat.
Any help would be appreciated. Had to reactivate my old Droid 1 from 2010. It's not the device it used to be (actually it is, and thats the problem) but the CyanogenMod 7 on it works great .

[Q] Device Unlocked - Status Code: 3

Hi All,
I have a non-DE XT1060 with an unlocked bootloader. I am attempting to flash a custom recovery, but I am running into issues. When I go into fastboot, it shows the device is indeed unlocked, but says Status Code: 3, where it would normally say Status Code: 1.
I am guessing this is part of my issue, since when I run the command ADB DEVICES, my device does not appear on the list. However, when I run the command ADB FASTBOOT DEVICES, it will list my device out. Because of this, I am having trouble flashing a custom recovery and obtaining root.
If anyone knows what Status Code: 3 actually means or has other ideas what might be going on, I would appreciate your help. I did a fair amount of searching online already, but nothing seemed quite the same as the issue I was having. Thanks in advance for any help.

I recently unlocked my device with the same status code 3 and had difficulties flashing the recovery also... In the android development section theres a post called recovery unlocked they mention that the correct command to flash would be mfastboot instead of fastboot (i guess its a motorola thing) also Adb commands don't run while in fastboot...

I think I had a misunderstanding of what fastboot was, but your reply prompted me to read more and I get it now. That being said, when I attempt to flash the recovery via fastboot, I receive the error: (bootloader) Variable not supported!

For the record, it does respond to commands such as fastboot devices and fastboot reboot-bootloader

Never had that outcome but having the latest adb/fastboot files would make things easier... If it still occurs

Is your command prompt path correct to the same folder as your recovery.img and your fastboot and mfastboot.exe files?

Yeah, you beat me to it... I had the directory wrong... needed C:\adb\
D'oh!! Thanks for your help though.

i have status 3 its normal or not ?

Apparently its normal as it all worked fine for me once I had the correct directory.

Status code 3 is perfectly normal and it indicates an unlocked bootloader in the case of the moto x. Nothing to worry about there. Every unlocked moto x displays status code 3. :good:

If you relock the bootloader will the status code change and will the software status change from modified to whatever it says before it was unlocked?

Htc one mini 2 stuck in startscreen - fastboot mode available.

About two months back, I rooted my htc one mini 2.
Unlocked the bootloader, installed a new recovery (This one) and finally rooted the device. I wanted to install different fonts for it, and in the process relocked the bootloader again.
Now, after several weeks of not doing anything regarding the root, my phone has errors after errors.
First, Google Play stopped working, and along with it, Youtube and the Play Store of course.
About two weeks later, even the "internet" app stopped working.
Today i wanted to start my phone only to find it stuck in the starting screen. (Looks like this)
What I want to do now is get my phone factory resetted, not rooted anymore and WORKING.
What I tried to do is get the phone into fastbood mode (this worked) and connecting it with the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" console. (This did NOT work)
Rebooting the device from the fastboot menu did not work, it either gets stuck in the loading screen again or directly enters fastboot.
What can I do to make my phone work again?
I hope you can help me :/

Try unlocking the bootloader again.Flash the custom recovery and then flash the stock rom available in the development section. It looks like your system partition got corrupted

How can i unlock the bootloader again?
The only way i know is via the console and "fastboot oem unlock" - i cant get my phone to connect though.
The available devices the console gives me are an emulator and three times my phone, which is/are offline.
Edit:
Stupid me. "Fastboot oem devices" and it shows my phone in fastboot mode.
Next problem: "fastboot oem unlock" does not work, and flashing the recovery with "fastboot flash myrecovery.img" doesn't work either :/
Edit 2: Managed to unlock the bootloader again (mistook the android folder with de adb folder, no unlocktoken there of course)
Directly after unlocking the bootloader again, the device went into recovery mode, showed the recovery starting logo, and went black.
After turning it back on, it got stuck in the starting screen again - will have to wait for it to run out of battery.
Edit 3: Flashed the recovery, but i can't seem to find a stock rom (only one i did find is this here - and the files are down...)

Solved it!
Just did a factory reset in bootloader menu.
(I hope i didn't forget anything, since I don't know s*** about android development)

Possible bricked nexus. Need help

So I picked up a nexus 6 that was said to be bricked. It was cheap so I figured what the hell. Anyway it's stuck in fastboot. No matters options it goes back to the fastboot screen. In logs it says "invalid boot image header." device is locked status code 2. What chances do I have of getting this back up and running?
Sent from my D6708 using Tapatalk

Locked code status 2 = bootloader locked right?
Paperweight.

So there is nothing possible to do? I was under the impression is was almost impossible to hard brick a nexus 6. I guess i was ignorant. lol

the N6 and N9 was when they started having the oem unlock enabler in developer settings menu and without the ability to boot and enable that setting its just as screwed as any other locked phone.

Are you talking about bootloader mode?
Locked bootloader+stock recovery (no TWRP) =bricked.
I've read where others have typed "fastboot erase bootloader" which has removed the bootloader so the phone won't even start.
If you have an unlocked bootloader and TWRP then you can recover from most issues. I've formatted my phone with no OS before. You can adb pull a zip in or flash via OTG. Locking the bootloader with no custom recovery or ROM prevents you from installing anything

How to Re-Lock Bootloader?

I need to lock my bootloader to do an exchange at T-Mobile. I have 20R stock flashed, but it still says custom bootloader upon boot, how do I relock it safely?
I read that "fastboot oem lock" will work, but will brick it if I don't do it perfectly. Any advice on what to do?

ive done it .. it works. it will build dalvik once it reboots.
I was able to Lock the bootloader.
1. I connected the phone to my PC
2. Powered on the Phone (it took a few tried of pulling the battery and powering on)
3. Check the box for OEM Unlock in Dev. Option
4. Use Minimal ADB and Fastboot and type in

Phone reboots and the boot screen does not show the unlocked bootloader message anymore

I'm terribly sorry if bumping is not ok.
Thought it wasn't worth making a new thread, since my post is about the one above.
Has anybody actually tried these steps above? (Since every other thread mentioning this says it's a one-way only thing..)
Does locking the bootloader means also loosing the custom recovery? (I'd expect that, but asking to be sure)
Does it return the phone to it's original state? (ie. before one unlocked the bootloader, or there are some differences?)
Does it also means I would be able to get official OTA updates and so on? (since with a custom recovery, that's not possible)
Thanks in advance.

Yes, it does work. I did it, worked perfectly. Yes it does return your device to it's original state. Just make sure the stock ROM is flashed and all should be well. I didn't try, but I see no reason why it wouldn't let you get OTA updates from T-Mobile. Let me know if you need help.

ive said ive done it. on the above instructions you dont beleive.??
i think you loose the twrp phone doesnt show unlocked bootloader message did not check recovery but it must revert t stock one.. not sure about OTA since am not in tmobile network.
you dont need OTA. you can always download KDZ and flash it with LGUP.
and stay uptodate.

Thanks both for replying.
And no @raptorddd , I did not mean that.
Your post is the only mentioning that locking the bootloader is possible, while all the other similar threads have ony people saying otherwise / it's not possible. I guess a slightly doubt is legit to have, don't take it wrongly

are you sure you have h811.? i did not get that error ive tried this twice..
i remeber getting an security boot error on LG G2 i fix by flashing firmware .. so maybe KDZ could help..
if not am not sure then search for that error and find out how to fix.

My H811 T-mobile phone needs service. It has original 20v software version. It is unlocked with TWRP and rooted. Can I use this method? Do I first have to downgrade software to some other version? Will this method also take out TWRP and root or do I still have to take them out before doing this? How? Please help.

no need to downgrade. to remove root and any trace if phone works. is to use KDZ then once it boots into system do the lock procedure. so it locks and the small white letter are removed. this way its like stock rom and recovery and the above commmands will make bootloader locked. and sent to repair. if bootloops try the freezing method.

Used on an LG Aristo that has Cyanogen and it worked

This was the only one i found that didnt brick my phone and trust me ive bricked and unbricked this phone many times

When you use the fastboot command to lock back your bootloader, the phone doesn't revert automatically to the stock recovery and actually that is partly the reason why it bricks and other main reason is that changes made to bootloader to obtain root brick the phone. before you relock bootloader, if you have SuperSU (in-app menu option) or Magisk (uninstall zip file), use their respective methods to unroot the phone, then use twrp to flash .image file of stock recovery to recovery partition then use the fastboot command to lock the bootloader. Even then it may or may not work because if whatever method the phone uses to check the integrity of bootloader and/or recovery, such as md5, if it doesn't match, the phone will still brick. Since all your data on phone will be erased regardless as soon as you lock the bootloader, i personally just fastboot lock the bootloader, remove battery to power down, use the volume up and plug usb cable in from pc to put phone in download mode and just use LGUP (uppercut) if have kdz file already, which i do, i just let LG Bridge download the file, find it in programs folder and copy it to another location before LG Bridge deletes it --OR-- just use error recovery option in Software Update tab in LG Bridge as both LGUP and LG Bridge will detect the phone in download mode even if it is bricked.
By the way, I have used both methods above dozens of times without any issues, someone above who mentioned phone boot-looping because of locking the bootloader, it is boot-looping not because of hardware flaw which was widespread in LG G3 but a software issue (phone boots up, doesn't find the software configuration it is looking for and just restarts) and they are not the same issues, no need to freeze the phone, won't help.

the method works, but no OTA from T-Mobile. "verification problem".
When I try to "adb reboot bootloader" I get "security error".
If I try reboot recovery, TWRP is definitely not there.
Just want to update from20Q to 20X.
Any help would be appreciated.

The above points to you not giving permission possibly because either you missed the permission pop-up or selected option that didn't allow permission.
