Hey,
I've been reading along in the XDA forums for quiet some time now, and have found very useful information on multiple occasions. A general thanks! for that.
Right now I am trying to gain access to a Moto X 2013 (XT1052) with a broken/black screen. The phone is rooted and has a custom recovery installed. Unfortunately USB-debugging was disabled.
I am trying to gain adb-access in recovery in order to try and activate debugging as shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335799
The problem is, I can't get the Phone into recovery mode. fastboot boot recovery.img is disabled on the moto x.
When I'm in fastboot mode and press Vol-Down the phone immediately performs a normal reboot. On a non-broken Moto X Vol-Down and then Vol-Up should bring the phone in recovery.
Can anybody explain this behavior? Is there another way to access recovery?
Thanks in advance!

I'm on the locked bootloader model for verizon. I'm trying to boot into recovery (just stock recovery) and I get the dead android screen:
[See attached image]
I am currently rooted, on 4.4 with write protection off. What can I do to get recovery back? I should mention that I also just installed safestrap though this was an issue prior to that.
Any suggestions?

That image IS the stock recovery. When you're on that screen hold the volume up button for a couple seconds and then without releasing the volume button quickly press and release the power button. That will bring up the onscreen menu.
Hello
I have a big problem. My Moto X doesn't show my android homescreen/ system anymore. When I turn it off and on, I can see the boot animations and when they are finished the screen is black. I can press the power button and it only shows me the power menu, where I can choose to turn it off. So It booted successfully. I also receive messages. I also can entere the recovery menu and see everything. It's just android which won't show anything. Also tried to wipe cache but didn't work.
I know I could do a factory but there's an app which data I didn't backup and I need to keep that!
Is it possible to backup a completely without using the screen?

Sry I'm too upset right now that I didn't notice it. Could a mod move this thread, pls?
Have you tried booting into safe mode
I am having the exact same issue. Has anybody had a luck resolving it short of a factory reset?
My phone battery died last night. I plugged my phone in, let it get about 15% charge, then tried to turn it back on. The phone boots like normal, but after the boot animation goes away, the screen is black. Active notifications still seem to work, and I can hold the power button to get the Power Down option. I can boot into the bootloader & access recovery just fine. However, my phone is fully stock (no root, no bootloader unlock, no anything). I can't seem to access ADB when the phone is powered normally (ie, when I'm at this mysterious black screen), but it's possible that USB debugging isn't even enabled.
So far, I've found a bunch people who've said a full factory reset will fix the problem, but I'm looking for another solution, or at least a way to grab my data before I reset. Since my bootloader's still locked, I can't seem to use fastboot boot to boot into TWRP, and I can't find any other way to access my data to copy it off the phone. I've tried wiping the cache using the stock recovery to no avail. Any suggestions?
Hi Moto G Community!
I realize this is kind of an unusual case and would REALLY appreciate any advice/help you can provide me. After successfully unlocking the bootloader of my brand-spanking-new Moto G, I followed this guide by graffixnyc: Lollipop Root Achieved and used fastboot to boot an IMG file intended to root a Moto X (I'm a certified idiot, I know).
I did this a couple hours ago and now, my beautiful G is stuck on the Blue 'M' Screen, and is unresponsive to holding the PWR button or holding PWR + VOL DOWN. I'm hoping that it's in some sort of a loop, and after the battery drains it'll boot like normal.
The fastboot command was 'boot' and not 'flash', but who knows, it could have already patched my current boot.img in a bad way:
From the Moto X Thread:
It's boot img agnostic.. meaning you boot this boot.img, it actually takes the current boot.img on the device and injects root into it. So it uses whatever boot.img is currently on the device. So if you are on the .5 kernel it should work, if you're on the .6 kernel it works

So my friends, what do you think I should do?? ANY advice or help is apreaciated in a way you can't imagine. Thank you in advance for trying to help!!!
It resolved itself!!! PWR + VOL DOWN decided to work after about the 50th time! Thank you anyway!
I think I've tried every method of flashing a custom recovery on my moto g2 but the thing won't show up. I try to boot into recovery but the phone just turns off. Nothing happens so I tried booting into recovery through command prompt and still no success. Can someone please help me out with this. I have seriously no idea what to do.

Hello,
Before flashing custom recovery, make sure that you have unlocked bootloader. If not, here is the procedure: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
Remember to install adb and fastboot on your computer along with Motorola drivers. Minimal ADB can be downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Once bootloader is unlocked, follow below steps:
1. Switch off your phone.
2. Press Power + Volume down button for 5 seconds and then release. You will see a menu with options like Normal Powerup, Recovery, Factory Reset etc. This mode is called as bootloader mode.
3. Now connect your phone to computer and from command prompt run below command
fastboot flash recovery <recovery image file name>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Now power off your phone and start in bootloader mote (see step 2).
5. When you see the menu, press volume down button to navigate the menu to downward size and select/highlight Recovery option.
6. Now press volume up button and your phone shall boot into recovery.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:
