Hi,
I tried to switch on my moto g2 in recovery using the power and vol button. Now I am stuck in the Boot selection menu. Clicking the vol button does not scroll the menu nor clicking the power button select an option. I have tried to reboot the phone using power and (vol down, vol up and also vol up and down combination) but nothing works.
adb devices also does not detect my phone.
Please let me know what to do. The only option I have is to let the phone poweroff on its one and then try to start it.
Did you google for it? I also had problems getting my Moto G3 into recovery mode. It wasn't intuitive, much more a tricky combination of buttons and timing.

Yes... it wasn't a problem getting into recovery. The volumn button did not allow me to toggle between options. It was just hung up and all the combinations did not allow me to reboot. What I did was just let the phone run of battery and was able to login again.
Hi Friend
I am also facing same issue and my mobile is also staying in Boot Mode Selection Menu. I am not able to proceed further as any option m selecting with volume up button nothing is happening its throughing Error msg as below.

Hi guys,
I just unlocked my phone and tried entering recovery mode, but it won't work, it just boots normal.
Pressing 3 sec VolDown + Power
Pressing VolDown, then VolUp.
Android Logo appears and after a few seconds phone boots just normal.
Tried it now a thousand times.
Any suggestions?

Ohhh srry flash stock recovery
I have a slightly different problem, I try to get into Recovery but in Recovery no options show up at all, all I see is the Android robot laying down with the '!' mark, with no options, sometimes it also says 'No command' with the Android.
Boot menu before you select Recovery works fine. (I'm completely stock)

Similar issue here: I unloacked the bootloader, and can't enter recovery mode of the stock Motorola recovery. Recovery mode stops with same picture as described above, robot lying on it's back. Does Motorola prevent loading the stock recovery when the phone is unlocked? I did not try to enter recovery with locked phone by the way, so can't tell if stock recovery didn't work in the first place.
Hi
That's the correct behaviour. Press volume UP+power, release power then volume UP, that v then shows the menu in recovery
Sent from my XT1068 using XDA Free mobile app
Finally I found correct way to do that
To be clear I will start from beginning
1. Power off device
2. Press Volume DOWN + Power buttons for 3 to 5 sec then release Volume DOWN and then Power
3. Now select Recovery. Android with /!\ will be shown.
[Lollipop]
4. Press Power and while pressing it tap Volume Up
[KitKat]
4. Press Volume UP for 5 sec while pressing Volume UP press Power button.
(don't release Volume UP before pressing Power)
You are now in stock Recovery

Thanks, for the explanation! Only remaining odd thing: my device reboots to system OS instead of recovery when selecting recovery in the bootloader. I'm only able to go into recovery by:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery
I have the same exact problem where I could not go to recovery mode.
When in fastboot screen, I select Recovery by pressing volume up button and instead of phone going to recovery mode, my phone restarts to lands to lock screen.
When you say that you are able to go to recovery by -
Code:
fastboot boot recovery
What does it mean?
Which directory I have to be in to execute this command?

It is really odd though that you have to follow steps which are not mentioned in fastboot mode to get to the recovery mode.

My phone won't go past the android with ! in a triangle. I have tried pressing the up button for 15 secs and then the power button but nothing happens.
I have a Consumer Cellular XT1064 with unlocked bootloader which I flashed to retail Rom. Then I was able to go to stock recovery normally with pressing up 15sec and power, and manually flash the 5.0 OTA update. Now a few weeks later when I want to flash the second OTA update, I can't go into recovery.
Any help please.

Worked on the first attempt. This is the correct key combination in the Android 5.0 build.
My phone was frozen when I was taking a video,
then I forced restart the phone by pressing power button until it restarted.
However, my phone stuck at the android logo for a quite long time with the screen on, so I decided to do a factory reset.
I have tried the following steps on my friend's phone as we bought exactly same phone,
and succeded at first attempt.
1, volume down + power button goes into boot options.
2, then android logo, then about 2 seconds later, dead android guy would appear.
HERE is my phone's problem:
in this step after showing android logo, my phone would vibrate once and then just gone black,just like turning off. NO DEAD ANDROID GUY showed up. Certainly would not be able to do the rest steps.
I have searched and tried so many methods that others used when they could not get into the bootloader. NONE of them succeded.
So I need help, guys.
Anyone got any ideas.
Thanks in advanced !!!
no one ?
I guess I had to bring it to the store for repairing.

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:

Press & hold Vol+ and Vol- - now press (and hold) Power until phone vibrates. Release power key.
If there is a new screen, release Vol keys,
Select ENGLISH and shutdown.
Now restart phone

Nope. I have the same situation and am stuck with the test mode screen when attempt to boot the system. Recovery works fine. Tried the hold both volume buttons and plug into PC, and now have tried this. Always the same screen, nothing about selecting English, just the option to access the Options Menu. Selecting Fastboot takes me to menu where Ican select Recovery, Startup, AND "Boot to FFBM". Have wiped all but internal SD, and "Repaired" System, Persist, Cache. Have tried installing an official ROM and Lineage ROM. No combinations of these have fixed the problem.
Problem started when I was updating the official ROM and decided to try out the FFBM boot option. BIG mistake.
Now am stuck with a system that will no longer boot.

UPDATE: TWRP 3.0.3-0 saved my ass. It permits selection of booting into EDL (9008) mode, bypassed all the PC based commands that weren't working, and I reloaded Zuk factory ROM again. Got past the test mode screen finally. Discovered that I don't care for the original ROM at all, too many Google things I'm accustomed to (Like Google Play store) missing. Added a few things back in, but wasn't worth the trouble. It took me about 15 minutes to refla sh it using TWRP with the latest nightly version of the Mokee ROM for this device (Android 7.1.2) and it works GREAT. Lineage wasn't ready yet.
The only hold over from all my initial problems is that upon boot it acts of if I'm doing the up Vol button action. It goes to the screen where I can press a Vol button and go into the boot loader or just wait 5 seconds for it to carry on booting normally. I don't know how to correct this, but not really a problem.

Works fine.
I don't know what happened, today I woke up, pick my phone, anwser a few messages and them suddenly my phone reboot and all goes blank. So I connected it to the power, the cellphone started to blink the blank led light e shows the power symbol over and over, them after a time shows this message: "Start Up Failed" Your device didn't start successfully. Use the Software Repair Assistant on computer to repair your device."
I did what was told, but after all the recover procedure complete the same messages and bliking behaviors starts again. My phone is not rooted. Is there a solution that I can try to solve this issue?
Thanks in Advance.
Motorola G5S Plus reboot
Try this. Start the bootloader (Boats Vol -, + power at the same time), browse with Vol + or Vol-, search for "recovery mode", with power you accept. If "no command" appears on the screen, press power + Vol +. There you have many options. You can do Factory reset.

Hi lokochris, thanks for answering
When I select the recovery mode, this message appears in the phone: "failed to validate recovery mode. ERROR: Failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot."
The factory reset only reboot again, and again blank light blinking and power logo in a loop.
Motorola G5S Plus reboot
use this method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMWbC_c6758
This youtube method was the first thing I tried. It shows the Motorola logo and returns to the same message. I believe something is blocked, because the Power logo remains in Loop and the white light is flashing.
These results are displayed only when the phone is charging. Without charging or cable on the PC, my phone doesn't even start.
Motorola G5S Plus reboot
Try this. If the problem continues, it may be a hardware problem. I have read over there, if you try to remove google account or unlock bootloader, the phone enters hard brick and it is almost unbrick.

Just run the one you need ( bootload), connect the phone to the PC and run automatically
