RESOLVED!
so I just got my moto x dev edition, unlocked the bootloader, and then screwed it up...
i tried flashing the recovery as described here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2458451 but didn't realize/understand that fastboot and mfastboot were not interchangeable. it looked like it went ok, but I wasn't able to reboot into recovery. so, now on boot to recovery i get the little android on his back with a red triangle. i'm pretty sure that the stock recovery is gone, but cwm is not installed either. which brings me to my next little problem...
so i did some reading and got mfastboot installed and thought ok I just need to reflash cwm on phone again. problem is, now the phone won't stay in usb debug mode so that i can see it when fastbooted. that is, when i reboot the phone into fastboot by holding the power/vol down I can't see the phone when doing 'adb devices', and whem I let it boot up i see usb debug is switched off. when i switch it on, then i can see the phone from adb again, but when i try to 'reboot bootloader' it gives me a not allowed error.
at this point i'm just sick and afraid i bricked it. i am coming from a galaxy nexus and never had anything like this happen before. i truly appreciate any help here, at this point i feel like puking and dreading telling the wife i just blew 450.... :-/
ps i'm on mac 10.7 so if i need rsd it will be via a virtual machine....

so, if i understand you correctly, u've held down the volume down button and power button? becasue that's your fastboot. That's where you need to be to use RSD, and that's what i'd do.
ADB commands aren't used in fastboot mode. You should be able to see the device in fastboot mode with the command fastboot devices. Also, remember that the stock rom will try to restore the stock recovery when it is booted so if you flash recovery in fastboot mode then let the stock rom boot it will reflash the stock recovery which shows you the little droid and the red triangle.
You should still be okay though. Shut the phone off and boot into fastboot manually with power and volume down. Reflash the recovery. I know there are warnings about using mfastboot but I used standard fastboot before I saw those and didn't have an issue. From the fastboot screen after flashing the recovery, use volume down to get to highlight recovery and then press volume up to select, not power. Power will just do a standard reboot.
If you flashed twrp recovery then rebooting system will prompt you to install su. I think clockwork does the same thing. Letting the recovery install su will also prevent the stock recovery from getting restored and from there you should be good.

i can reboot into fastboot, but adb can't see the phone. I'll start trying to setup rsd and and see if it can do any better. any good links you know to get up to speed on that would be appreciated. if you know how to simply reflash the recovery via rsd that would be helpful too - thanks in advance!

Hey everyone I'm looking here as my last resort before sending my phone back to Motorola.
Bought a Nexus 6 from motorola uk which was delivered yesterday, switched phone on and all the Google apps on the phone updated, then had a notification OTA to download and install android 5.1 which I did, towards the end of the install process I had an error with the green android and a red exclamation mark.
I powered the device off with the power button and it turned back on and ever since it says "Android is starting" "Optimizing app 1 of 125" once it goes through all the apps it gets to the android boot screen then just goes back to the "Android is starting" "Optimizing app 1 of 125" over and over and over. (Infinite bootloop)
Pointers: The phone is not unlocked or rooted as I'm a noob its just fresh out the box, also I never opened/unlocked the developer options.
I have tried various recovery mode fixes, wiping cache and wiping all data and then rebooting the device with no luck.
Is there anyway I can hook my N6 up to my computer and fix this with a tool kit etc? I'm willing to try but I'd need basic instructions and reassurance it wouldn't muck up my warranty if it didn't work as my only other option is to exchange for a new device.
Any help, advice etc would be hugely appreciated. Thanks

Read the guide on how to fastboot flash a factory image. No toolkit necessary.
Would you mind posting a link to a guide? I forgot to add that I don't want my phone to become rooted by trying to fix this issue, I want to keep it stock like it was, also does not have developer options enabled stop me from going further.
Sorry for the questions I'm a noob to this and quite anxious.

I've made the fastboot adb folder on my PC and attached my phone whilst it was in bootloader mode, I types in the command box adb devices and there is no list of attached devices.
I presume this is because I didn't enable developer options or USB debugging?

When in bootloader mode type : fastboot devices
-Edit- just read that your bootloade is still locked so i`am afraid there is nothing you can do to fix the issue as you cannot flash firmware with a locked bootloader. Best is to claim warranty because of a software issue while updating.

Thought this would be the case, I went into adb fastboot and typed in fastboot devices and its showing some letters and numbers next to fastboot on screen if that helps.
In the future I presume I should make sure to enable developer options first so I can get out if this mess?
Also would it be best when I get my new n6 just to sideload the latest update marsmellow by getting the factory image from the Google website? Last question can I skip from 5.0 straight to 6.0 sideloading or do I have tobdo it one at a time?
Thanks for trying to help matey

Next time enable usb debugging and ENABLE OEM UNLOCK, both in developer options. You can flash the latest firmware available directly in fastboot by flashing the individual img files.

It says this on my Nexus 6 phone screen.
Unlock bootloader?
If you unlock the bootloader, you will be able to install custom operating system on this phone.
A custom OS is not subject to the same testing as the original OS, and can cause your phone and installed applications to stop working properly.
To prevent unauthorized access to your personal data, unlocking the bootloader will also delete all personal data from your phone (a "factory data reset".)
Press the volume up/down buttons to select yes or no. Then press power button to continue.
Yes (Unlock bootloader, may void warranty)
No. ( Do not unlock bootloader and restart phone)

Have you tried it from your PC?
fastboot reboot-bootloader
How can you run fastboot commands if your not in fastbbot-bootloader?
"my phone doesn't enter into fast boot mode"
(General message - see what I did there? No need to repeat the entire post. Just the part I'm responding to.)
Does this mean that you can't get to bootloader? Is your bootloader unlocked? When you reboot do you see the open padlock symbol?
So what did you do to brick your device?

With USB connected, from a cmd prompt I do:
adb devices (to load the drivers and make sure my phone is recognized)
adb reboot bootloader (this should put you in bootloader mode)
fastboot devices (just to be sure my phone is still recognized)
fastboot flash radio radio.img (or whatever image you want to flash)
fastboot reboot-bootloader (in between flashes, just to be safe)
I do so hate it when people don't bother to read my posts properly. It takes away my incentive to try to help them...
"No need to repeat the entire post. Just the part I'm responding to."
"So what did you do to brick your device?" Install the custom ROM you mention?
And a new question. You say "no matter wat buttons i press". Does that include the bootloader power & volume down simultaneous press for maybe 30 seconds?
So there are 3 items in this post. Can I have 3 responses please? The first will be not copying this entire post all over again, the other two will be answers to my questions.

Do you have a working recovery you can access?
And stay away from toolkits. Learn to flash manually. It's easy and you know what part goes wrong. Tool kits are nice in automation, but when something happens ya don't have a decent idea where to start.

Hi, so my phone's LCD and glass are broken and there is no display nor is touch working but the phone is on. I don't want to spend any money on it for replacing the LCD. It's on Android 7.0 stock, not rooted and everything stock and Wifi and USB debugging is NOT enabled although there is no lock code on the phone. I need to transfer my data to my pc (and no internal SD files are backed up in my Google account) but when I connect my phone to my PC, it doesn't show any files as i need touch to enable file transfer mode even though it recognized the nexus 6. Now i have 2 questions.
1. How to backup/transfer all my data? (preferably an alternative to the OTG mouse and HDMI solution since i can't find it easily in my country and can't order from amazon/ebay etc to my country).
2. How to reset the phone completely if i want to sell it to someone?
Any help would be highly appreciated on this matter...

I hate to say it but your getting them by replacing the screen. Without root or adb debugging you won't even have access to the directory or be able to issue the device any commands.

Maybe if you have it connected to the device the Android device manager. I disable it myself so can't say for sure. Other then that. No you are not gonna be able to. I really would just replace the screen. Not only will you learn something but you will be able to get all your stuff as well as the sale value will be higher.

ok so i've downloaded a fastboot compilation and i need to use fastbook device to check if nexus 6 is in fastboot mode and fastboot -w to wipe. I tried turning my phone off but i think it doesnt turn off until you press the power off button on the screen, even if you hold the power button longer. so ill let my phone fully discharge so it turns off and then charge it a bit while its off and then try to turn it on in fastboot mode by pressing volume down and power and then enter the commands. seems right?

Yup, if you plug the phone into PC before booting into fastboot, hold vol- then hit power button,while in your fastboot directory on PC, hold shift and right click mouse button, then click open command prompt from here. Then type: fastboot devices this will then tell you on PC if phone is connected and ready to receive commands. If it returns your phones serial number then proceed with the commands
If you hold power button to reboot phone, as soon as phone vibrates hold the vol- key and it should put you into fastboot mode

can't seem to boot in fastboot mode. My PC recognizes nexus 6 when its connected in normal mode so i know when its normally on. So i tried holding the power down button for 10 seconds or so and then tried holding the volume down button for several seconds and then connected it to PC but fastboot didn't recognize it neither my PC in general but after a while nexus 6 showed up on my PC which probably meant it rebooted normally without going into fastboot mode. any tips?

Hi, guys. Yesterday I decided to change my phone's firmware, so I flashed a LineageOS ROM. Of course, I have unlocked the bootloader. And everything was fine. But I always wanted to use Android Pay, so I've decided to relock bootloader to make it work. And now I have so called "Red State":
"Your device has failed verification and may not work properly".
And then, the loading stops. No effect. Just this screen.
But the main problem is that I don't have any access neither to recovery, erecovery or fastboot.
Any key combination makes no good, the phone just boots to this screen.
I've tried to drain the phone's battery and plug it into computer, but it didn't make any good.
Is there any way to recover my phone? Or it's already a hopeless brick? Please, help me, I've spent two whole days on it.
why you lock bootloader when it has wrong recovery? you should have had installed stock recovery before locking device.

I didn't know that, actually. It was my mistake.

you should do alot of research before using ADB and flashing things :/
Try connecting usb to phone (don't connect with pc yet)
Press volume up button
Now connect to pc.
See if u are able to boot to fastboot.
Unlock BL, and your phone will boot to recovery on its own
Reboot
