My Moto G XT1032 won't boot, it gets into the boot animation then goes to a black screen and does nothing, I can get into the fastboot and recovery menus however when I try to do anything through adb and fastboot it's saying either waiting for device or device not found. I wanted to return back to stock 4.4.4 so I could get the lollipop update, bootloader is unlocked. When I connect my phone to the PC is makes the sound that it's connected but it won't show the internal storage, the drivers are there since I checked in device manager.
Is my phone bricked?
Any helped will be gladly appreciated!
Thanks!

Your phone is soft-bricked, but since it boots to all those modes, should be easy enough to get going. Not sure why you would expect the internal storage to show up if the device isn't booting...? Do you have a custom recovery installed? You didn't mention what you did before it stopped booting correctly either, which could be helpful info for troubleshooting. Are you sure the correct drivers are being loaded? Are you using adb and fastboot when the phone is in the correct mode to receive the commands? Fastboot doesn't work in recovery, adb doesn't work in bootloader mode, etc. Worst case scenario, just restore with RSD Lite. If you are still having issues connecting to it, then uninstall all Moto drivers, reboot the PC, then reinstall them most recent Motorola Device Manager and try again.

I have two identical nexus s phones.
Phone 1:
- has no usb connectivity, and thus can't be used with fastboot or adb
- unlocked bootloader
- stock jellybean
Phone 2:
- rooted
- has CWM 6.0.3.1 installed
- stock jellybean
I've taken a backup of phone 2 and want to flash it using the stock recovery on phone 1. I'm on OS X.
I've found a couple threads on this but they're all leading to dead ends. One used a utility called unyaffs, but the CWM file format has changed to use hashed blobs so that 's not going to work.
I've also seen a couple posts saying that CWM had a "soon to be released" option to create an update.zip file, but I don't see that option. Those posts are from last August. That sounds great if it existed and the image could be used with stock recovery.
All I really need to do is flash the bootloader from phone 2 on to phone 1 (I previously flashed the wrong bootloader on phone 1 which led to the loss of usb, which is what I'm trying to fix.) I tried zipping the correct bootloader image from the google download page and installing from stock recovery but it refuses to flash that image. (Not sure if fastboot images can be flashed in recovery mode?)
Argh, need a little help here.
Thanks in advance.

ok your post isnt making sense. first of all how did you flash thethe wrong bootloader to phone 1? and when you compare the phones bootloaders, what is the bootloader version number for each one? so what youre saying is that phone 1 will never give you an adb connection at all, even when youre booted into android? when you plug phone 1 into the computer from within android what happens? and when you boot phone 1 into bootloader and execute fastboot mode then connect it to your computer do you see anything when you run the command ./fastboot devices? or ./adb devices when youre in adb mode on your phone? if your computer can see phone 2 and not phone 1 at all via usb then there is likely a problem with the usb port on your phone 1. you should be able to boot directly into fastboot mode by holding vol up and power button while powering on the phone, then it should take you straight to fastboot mode where you can then connect to the computer. remember to put the phone in fastboot mode then connect sometimes the computer wont see the phone if it was already plugged in upon entering fastboot mode/

I was trying to downgrade the phone to ICS using the factory image from google. I picked the wrong image from the google site (picked soju, needed sojus) and flashed it using fastboot. As soon as I flashed the wrong bootloader the USB connection stopped working so I didn't flash the radio or os. I no longer can connect to the phone using fastboot or adb, usb debugging stopped working. The USB debugging option is set in developer options. So, trying to get the phone working now without USB. Hope that makes sense now. :good:
Hi all,
So, I done effed up. I've been running Elegancia with no problems for a while now, and decided off the cuff to try something new. Long story short, I didn't read properly and ended up flashing an International ROM to my phone by accident. No problem, I think, I'll just ADB sideload Elegancia again.
I boot into TWRP recovery and then find that my computer no longer recognizes my phone. So, I hit restore on TWRP, and restore a backup that I'd made beforehand. After everything finishes restoring, I discover to my dismay that the backup did not include my OS.
Now, when I power up my phone, I can boot only into bootloader. When I try to boot into recovery, the phone is stuck on the TeamWin logo and doesn't move. If I turn on the phone without booting into bootloader, I'm stuck on HTC's logo. My primary goal right now is just
In conclusion, I have no idea what to do with the following problems:
1. When booting into bootloader, my computer no longer recognizes my device, so I have trouble flashing TWRP. Basically, my computer searches for an HTC MTP driver, and then fails to find one/install one. When I try to update the driver manually by downloading a MTP driver and then installing via Device Manager, Windows tells me I'm already using the most up-to-date version.
2. When booting into bootloader and then going to Recovery, my phone will boot into teamwin's logo ... and then not move from there.
I'm aware that I've screwed up pretty bad-- I've done my best to read stuff that's relevant, though. I'd love more help, please! Thanks in advance. Lots of invisible cookies coming your way.
[EDIT: It turns out TWRP was just taking a really, really, really long time to load. That said, my problem now is this:
- When going to Advanced -> ADB Sideload, my computer does not recognize my device when using adb devices.
How can I make sure that this actually works? Thanks again!]
[EDIT #2: Okay, um, I don't know why, but for some reason my computer now lists my device after going into sideload from TWRP. Maybe something to do with a reboot of my computer. If that's true, I feel really stupid. Will update if sideload doesn't work ... I think the cosmic gods are laughing at me. I guess all I had to do was post in xda-developers so that I could publicly embarrass myself before I fix my phone.]
[EDIT #3: Everything works and I'm dumb.]
Hello
I think I've bricked my P760. When i want to run my phone it stuck on LG logo and can't boot to OS. Everything was fine but after installing fix to camera i could boot to OS my phone once and after reboot i can't boot to OS anymore. My phone has root, unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and custom ROM. I don't have acces to recovery. I have only acces to bootloader mode with fastboot (VOL+ + HOME + POWER). Then i have a note "Welcome to LG Fastboot Mode ". My computer detects it and automatically installs drivers (Fastboot interface (Google USB ID). But the problem is that in Device Manager it all time blinks. It's connected and immediately dissconects. I'm using original USB cable from LG charger. When i'm trying to use cmd in fastboot & adb files it's waiting for device all the time.
I don't know what I should do next :C
Pls help guys

Go through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292828 it will definitely solve your problem, from the screen-shot it seems that you are using windows 10, i'm not sure that omap4430 drivers will work on windows 10 or not, but you'll try otherwise do the process on windows 7, your phone will revive...
@Codeplex its to complicated thread.
before mine become like this my phone alway succes writing recovery via adb fastboot but now i try writing recovery via adb fastboot always filed.
flashing firmware with cmahendra method always get 15% error..
I think all dev not care anymore about our phone..,
I have searched a lot on google and xda and havn't found an answer to my issue. Either I'm searching for the wrong thing or I have a very unique problem.
My basic problem is on two Nabi 2's I can't access the bootloader in order to be able to fastboot TWRP (or any other recovery). It just perpetually hangs.
Both tablets boot just fine. Both tablets are on 1.9.37. Both tablets can be factory wiped via the stock recovery.
Both tablets were rooted via TWRP 2.3.3.0 a few years ago in order to install gapps. I wanted to be able to upgrade the tablets to JB when it came out so I used Nabilablite to "return to stock". I followed all of the prompts and it appeared as though everything worked as desired. I downloaded the OTA update told it to install and never looked at the version again...I just assumed it installed. Handed the tablets back to the kids and everyone was happy. Apparently all I did was flash the stock recovery because they are still rooted and have gapps after several factory resets.
Now (a year later) I have realized I was a dufas and didn't actually effect the change I wanted.
If I hold Vol+ & Pwr buttons it loads to the recovery/boot menu with "boot normally" "fastboot protocol" "recovery kernal" and "forced recovery". If I boot normal, the tablet works fine but I can't update via OTA.
If I choose fastboot protocol it just hangs...for ever...HOW DO I FIX THIS!?!?!
If I choose recovery kernal it loads the stock recovery but still wont install any update OTA or otherwise, even from the sd card.
If I choose forced recovery nothing happens, it also appears to just hang.
If I hold Vol- & Pwr button the nabi logo flashes then the device turns off.
If I hold Vol+ & Vol- & Pwr buttons it appears to be the same as just Vol+ & Pwr.
With the tablet on and fully booted I can see it via ADB. I tried using the adb restart bootloader. The tablet reboots but then just hangs never actually loading the boot loader...
I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587543. But aicjofs mentions seeing a bootloader issue once before.
Usually when it hangs at the Nabi logo it means you don't have the USB cable plugged in or that the fastboot driver is not installed.(Check device manager and see if fastboot driver is installed/no exclimation point). If that's not the issue then it's the bootloader which I have only seen one person have that issue. Depending on which OTA's you have ran there was an update to a Jellybean bootloader so it's possible. That can be fixed with nvflash or placing the bootloader blob in the staging partition.
Also you can always get recovery back without fastboot in Android by dd'ing the recovery over.
For example if the recovery image is on the internal SD
dd if=/data/media/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS
Click to expand...

I have NO idea what dd'ing the recover over is...
Thank you for any help fixing this.
P.S. I have a 3rd tablet that I also used TWRP 2.3.3.0 on to root and install gapps with. I did NOT use nabilablite on that tablet to return to stock. Yesturday I used fastboot to flash TWRP 2.6(something) to flash a JB OTA update which worked fine. It was also able to download and install every other OTA update all the way to the most recent KK with no problems...

EDIT: OOOPPS. I didn't see this was in the XDA Assist section. I'm not suppose to answer questions(I was just searching for Nabi questions and didn't notice this was XDA assist), dedicated XDAers just point you in the right direction in this section. Please ask the question again in the Nabi2 section and I'l come help you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nabi-2
This might help answer some questions http://forum.xda-developers.com/nabi-2/general/nabi-information-t3229119
If it just hangs at fastboot protocol then the USB connection isn't good or fastboot driver isn't installed most of the time. Can you verify fastboot shows up in device manager?(I know the 3rd tabet worked OK) .
Nabilabite doesn't do anything that should change the bootloader, and fastboot should still work as it did before.
dd'ing recovery over means that you use the root access you have in Android to flash the recovery partition instead of using fastboot. IT's just another way of getting the TWRP recovery on the tablet.
The stock recovery won't install the OTA because when you added Gapps it changed some fies and the OTA sees those files as invalid and will fail.
Forced recovery always looks blank screen. It's waiting for you to give it a bootloader to run(beyond the scope here).
You should be able to get back on track once you have TWRP loaded. It's one of 3 things. Bad USB connection, fastboot driver not installed right, bootloader damage. Check the first 2 issues despite the fact the 3rd tablet had no such problems.
One of the XDA smart guys fixed my error of posting this in the wrong section.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate and have installed and re-installed the drivers several times. When the tablet's are fully booted ADB has a good connection and sucessfully sends the command to reboot. So I don't believe there is a driver or USB cable error...
When the tablets hang on the fastboot protocol my computer makes the usb connecting noise but fails to install the drivers...
When I hit forced recovery I hear the unrecognized USB device sound...
These two things make me think I don't have the proper drivers installed...but I don't understand how the driver's work when the tablet is booted but not when trying to access the boot loader.
It appears as though I'm going to have to try the dd method if you are able to point me in that direction please.
EDIT: Now I'm thinking I really DON'T have the fastboot drivers installed. I just plugged the 2nd tablet that hands on the fastboot menu and fastboot failed. I also booted the tablet completly, the adb driver's installed correctly but the fastboot driver's did not...I have installed the 64 bit driver's included with nabilablite. I can't find any actual other downloads. The 15 second ADB installer didn't change anything...

Hi!
I'm so stupid. I wanted to install cm12.1. So I rooted phone, unlocked BL. Then, I had first problem - when executing adb oem-unlock BL has unlocked and phone go to fastboot. But my comp couldn't recognize it (heard plugging in and out sound repeatedly). And here comes my "stupidity". I installed flashify and flashed CWM by it, got to CWM, installed cm12.1 zip. Of course wiped all data. Because I didn't flashed boot.img cm12.1 was freezing on fist setting up screen (nothing was working, just power button - pushing 10s turned off phone).
I wanted to flash boot.img by fastboot. But I still had problems with drivers(omap4boot didn't work). So I tried to recovery system by LG Mobile Support Tool. Everything got fine, but then phone stuck on the LG logo.
S/W Uprgade mode works of course, but I can't get to recovery now.
I'm using Windows 8.1
Any ideas?
Edit.
Ok, so I tried to install omap again. I did it, but the phone is still repeatedly conecting and disconnecting and in device manager I cought omap4430 driver whith waring mark for a while. Any ideas now?
Is it the non-animated LG logo?
This should work:

The download links for the firmware are probably not up to date. Use this to download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287573
If your phone still goes beyond the non-animated logo, there might be easier solutions.
It was after animation.
Anyway, I have finally solved this problem by installing new system using Bride's solution with full wipe.
