Hello, I've a stock rooted moto g 2014 edition.
Today my phone started rebooting randomly. Half an hour ago it would restart after unlocking my device. Now it can't even get past the bootloader unlocked screen.
I've gone into fastboot and tried getting into recovery but it just reboots again after showing the TWRP splash.
I can't execute any commands through fastboot itself either, Minimal ADB and fastboot doesn't recognize the device.
Flash mode says battery low and asks me to connect the usb cable, but it already is and windows is prompting me "unknown usb device" even after the automatic fastboot driver install.
I haven't messed with any system files in a looong time.
Please help me, thanks.
EDIT: I had to get the drivers from the website, then all I had to do was erase userdata from fastboot.
Case solved =]

Hi,
I was on 5.0, running stock recovery and rooted. Today, installed TWRP for 5.0 on my device. I tried to flash the droid command center widget on my phone usng twrp, and it failed. I also hit the fix permissions option. After that the phone does not boot up, simply flashes the unlocked bootloader sign and shows the moto boot animation for a second or two before shutting down.
I can boot into recovery, and the computer detects the phone. But adb doesn't detect the device. I have the 1092 5.0 OTA on my computer and saved it on the phone in an attempt to flash it thru TWRP, but that failed with the message shown in the img attached. I also tried flashing stock 4.4.4, but that gave an error "Updating partition details" failed.
Can someone help me get back into my phone? :crying: ADB doesn't seem to be detecting my phone, else I'd have tried to install a rom via fastboot.
I have multi-tool v4.1 installed, would I be able to flash a rom (stock unrooted and full wipe is perfectly fine too) via that considering adb does not detect my phone, but the computer does?
Well, that looks annoying.
I've found myself in similar situations when I've accidentally flashed something I shouldn't have. The good news is that if you can boot to recovery you can also probably boot to the bootloader and use fastboot.
Have you tried wiping everything and going back to stock? It's time consuming but at least you'll end up with a working phone.
I had to do this when I put the wrong recovery on a phone and it mangled partitions. Device wouldn't boot.
There are instructions for the moto x here

Thanks for the reply! Color me silly, but would I be able to use fastboot given that when I run adb the 'adb devices' command does not show my phone?

Because fastboot mode can start on your device even before Android loads (and can even run when Android isn't installed at all), fastboot mode is useful for updating the firmware quickly, without having to use a recovery mode.
Adb relies on android booting and usb debugging being enabled and the computer being authorized for debugging (L feature). Fastboot does not. Try booting into the bootloader and then run "fastboot devices" . Mine shows up. I suspect yours will too. If it doesn't then I'm out of my depth here.

Ah yes. For some reason, my fastboot file had gotten deleted from the folder and so the command didn't run. Everything went smooth once I noticed that. Had to downgrade to 4.4.4., but w/e. Thanks @oldcynic
Last night I was running 5.0 Lollipop GPE on my unlocked Telus HTC One M7, when I got a notification for an OTA update to 5.1 . I let it download and install, it booted up and then ran through Optimizing Apps. When it finished, the phone rebooted - and then got stuck in this loop. I can either boot the phone and it starts Optimizing Apps (again) or I can get to the bootloader screen. Entering Recovery mode (then holding power and volume up) doesn't do anything- just leads me back into this loop.
Figured I need to flash the phone now, but cannot get it to show up when I run adb devices (just an empty list). I'm not sure if the phone isn't in USB debugging mode or there is something else going on here. I've tried both Mac and PC with several drivers, multiple usb cables, and any other potential solution google came up with. It obviously worked in the past in order to flash 5.0 GPE, but doesn't work now and not sure what has changed.
Any suggestions on getting out of this mess? Can I somehow flash it without being able to boot? Thanks!

use fastboot commands, usb debug is only to enable adb when the os is booted.
Code:
fastboot devices

Thank you! Everything else went smoothly and I've flashed 5.1 now.
I got a message saying that an update is availible and i tried to download and install it but it failed two different times so i gave up. Now after several power cycles due to normal use my razr i is stuck in a boot loop (static red moto symbol then boot animation with intel inside repeating).I got the phone into fastboot mode and then I downloaded and installed rsd-lite and all motorola drivers. 2 different computers that ive tried rsd lite does not detect the phone however fastboot does. Factory option just resumes the boot loop. I dont know how to procede from here?
Edit: Phone is locked bootloader unrooted
Okay i guess this thread can be left incase anyone else gets in my position. I was able to fix my phone as fastboot was able to detect. i simply typed
Code:
fastboot -w reboot
and it wiped my userdata and cache and allowed the phone to boot.

It really works!
Thank you!
last night my moto x 2013 xt1053 with unlocked bootloader, cyanogenmod 12.1 and twrp ran out of battery, when i started recharging it, it went directly to ap fastboot with a error message ''load kernel (boot) failed", every option (only barcodes work) gives me that.
the phone wont recharge, it freezes when i take the charger off
i have tried using fastboot to erase cache, it just stays in "waiting device"
when i type "fastboot devices" it gives me nothing
i use ubuntu so i cant use rsd lite, only fastboot.
i REALLY need to use this phone, every help is appreciated.
and sorry for any english errors, its not my native language.
thanks!
Hello,
I've got a problem when trying to load fastboot that I haven't been able to find a solution for here. I'm hoping someone else has run into this and can help. My phone (H811) seems to freeze upon entering fastboot mode. I have...
Flashed 20i using TWRP
Enabled OEM Unlock and Debugging
Uninstalled and Reinstalled drivers in every imaginable configuration over the past two days
Flashed (and completely wiped internal storage) the 20i KDZ
Continued to muck around with drivers
Everything is fine when connecting to my PC, ADB has no issues. I run into trouble when rebooting (via ADB) and the phone freezes. The power button is unresponsive and I have to pull the battery to exit fastboot. My device manager shows -something- is connected after entering fastboot, but so far I haven't been able to find a working driver for that.
Thanks
