I've had my Moto X Pure for over a few months now. After rooting it, i installed TWRP 3.0.2 and have had different roms and not come across any problems regarding a hard brick. I was using my phone on the CM 13 Rom, and it was bugging out, so i tried to reboot. After trying to reboot, it would come to the WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED SCREEN and not boot past that, let alone get into the actual loading screen. Now, i cant boot into twrp. When i try to enter recovery mode, it goes to the TWRP screen, and sits there without proceeding. I cant boot the phone, or boot into recovery. I can only boot into the bootloader. ANY AND EVERY ADVICE IS APPRECIATED THANK YOU!!!
Edit: I fixed it. had to manually extract and reflash some files from a very useful restore to stock tool.

If your able to boot into bootloader you can try to reflashTWRP or flash the original recovery and the original system files.

Can you get it into fastboot mode? If you can, it sounds like somehow the recovery is corrupt and you would need to use 'fastboot erase recovery' first, and then 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' (using the twrp .img flashable file of course)
I hope that does the trick. Only think I can think of other than that is look for the automated return to stock tool for the moto x 2015 and use that.
thanks

Can you tell us what fixed it? Do you know if it was firmware related? Was it the recovery? I have multiple people on this device all on custom software, always interested to find the cause of these types of issues for future reference. And most importantly, glad you got it resolved!

I honestly have no idea what the problem was. But i downloaded and used someones lollipop restore to stock tool, literally restoring to the original state you got the phone in, and it worked. I believe it had something to do with the rom, and possibly some xposed modules i had installed, but there was nothing that actually messed around with the phone's system files. I couldn't access recovery in anyway whatsoever, but my advice to you is that if you ever need help because the phone is potentially hard-bricked, see if it connects to PC and if it does use the restore to stock tool.

Nothing it just vibrates as soon as i hit factory reset then bootloops now it wont even go into recovery just fastboot screen but cant get fastboot to work at all and have all drivers android studio etc. Nothing will work need a new solution
It was hash kernel it corrupted all 64 gigs of storage and music etc. Had to return to stock via auto flash firmware.
Mine is XT1572 device. Since the mentioned tool was not available for this model, I took the chance with XT1575 tool. It did all the steps but the issue has become worse. Now, my device is automatically getting On and OFF in seconds and does not boot beyond the bootloader 'unlocked' warning screen. Please please please help !!!!

Hi,
I Need help .
I have nexus 4 with stock ROM and stock recovery.
Two days after OTA update to Lollipop, the phone got stuck on boot-loop.
The problem is that on the phone i have a very important voice recording of a cop that says he will lie in court.
The court time is coming and i need that recording!
Everywhere i looked, no one has an idea how to recover a boot-loop'ed phone.
The 2 options that people recommended are:
1. RE-Flash the ROM.
Maybe it wont delete the files.
2. Wipe everything and hope that the file is recoverable with one of the software's.
A. What do you recommend?
B. Did someone try any of the recovering software's with any luck of actually recovering?
Your bootloader is locked, correct?

If your bootloader is unlocked you can try flashing TWRP recovery which has a built in file manager and mtp function to copy files to computer. You can also try to "dirty flash" another lollipop rom which will not wipe the data, but may not work.
Yeah, this is the only option, however, this can only happen if his bootloader is unlocked

what are the chances that "Dirty Flash" wont delete the files?
and what rom should i flash? the same build or maybe try to flash kitkat insted...?

Unfortunately, as far as I know you can't flash any Rom's while your bootloader is locked. You need either fastboot or a custom recovery to flash a custom ROM and both need an unlocked bootloader.

Yes, after you've flashed twrp you should be able to access your files from a computer if you're booted in recovery.
soooooo.....
i flashed the TWRP Recovery.
very easy. no errors.
and it shows as the storage is completely empty! as if someone in all this time wiped everything...
so now, what recovery software do you know/used/heard of?

When the storage is completely empty, are you booted in recovery, the bootloader or just trying to boot normally? When you say it's empty, do you actually see the device on your computer? If so, is it completely empty with no folders or files or anything, or just stock stuff?
Can you check mount and make sure all the storage volumes are mounted? It's usually blank when they are all manually unmounted.
After i boot in twrp with n preview asking a password for decrip device. I cannot install any kernel,need change anything?
You need to flash a modified boot.img for it to be able to decrypt properly, there's a link in section 2 of my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
There is an updated TWRP that you can flash that is able to read/write and doesn't ask for a password.

Disable forced-encryption, and decrypt your 6P first. Here is my tutorial: http://www.droidorigin.com/decrypt-nexus-6p/
Once you have, you can flash TWRP easily.

So does twrp work at all with the n previews? How does one root the previews without twrp? Looking at installing the fourth one, but I'm not willing to lose root.
I accidentally let the OTA try to update from Preview 3 to 4. It stuck on the TWRP splash screen 3.0.2-0 (I think). It didn't seem to fail or anything but it just would never go past that splash screen. I was being dumb, updating without access to a C to A cable so I thought I was screwed but I decided to try something else out. I hit the BP Tools button on the Bootloader menu and for some reason that booted my phone up like normal. I then tried to see if I could boot it up normally. No luck, same TWRP splash screen. BP Tools worked again, but I know its some developer setting and I don't want to mess with anything that could mess me up later. Does anyone know how to get past the TWRP screen? Also anyone know why BP Tools would boot but the regular boot wouldn't work? I guess this is what I get for being a dumbass. I knew I shouldn't but I get so damn excited about updates!
Thanks a lot.

if you have a backup (titanium or nandroid), or don't mind starting from scratch you can make TWRP work with DP4 by:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
There's got to be a way to get around the encryption problem without decrypting the phone...
Would this work: when twrp asks for passcode to decrypt, say skip. Then take the SuperSU zip from my computer and put it on my phone via USB, and flash it from twrp.
Would it work even though twrp can't read my storage?
If your phone is encrypted, the only twrp that works is 3.0.0.0
You can use it to adb sideload supersu zip and root the phone. But won't be able to mount my partitions as it cant decrypt the phone.

first, i unlocked the bootloader and it was perfectly fine.
then i flashed the latest TWRP version
now, when i flashed supersu, i got bootloops.
i tried to to install the older TWRP version (2.8.7.1) but nothing improved so i reverted back to the latest version. Now even my recovery is borken.
I REALLY hope someone will help me fix my problem.
EDIT: I also tried to install the 2.62 version of SuperSu because the 2.46 didn't work.
anyone, please?

Can you boot into Bootloader? You might have to reflash back to complete stock before you can do anything again using adb/fastboot commands. Have a look at my posts in this thread:
SOLVED: Flashed TruPureXMM rom in Indian dualsim XT1572 and now No sim detection
Most of my posts are on the second page but should help guide you to get back to stock without relocking the bootloader. Once you are back to stock and can confirm the phone is working, you can start your modding again. I can only assume your phone has a software issue. Unfortunately, this is the only solution I can think of and can't really suggest anything else. You will lose all your internal storage data using this method unless you have made a backup. I would normally do this using recovery but seeing as you can't boot normally or into that, I don't see a way for you to do that, unless you try pulling files through adb though this will probably be a long and slow process.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Ooms
Is it bricked or bootlooping? Those are 2 very different things. If its bootlooping then its not bricked. If its bricked then you can't do anything with it.
Nevermind guys, i've fixed it by flashing stock firmware through fastboot, just like dj_ooms said. Thanks for the help anyways. And also razieltov, i was getting bootloops. Sorry for not knowing the difference between the two
I had installed cm 13 and tried installing a new kernel but i guess since i was on a old version it didn't work out. So i proceeded with putting the old kernel back *sandy kernel* however now when the phone opens up i put my pass code it shows the background for a split second with a system ui crashed error and back to lock screen. hence i tried installing a recovery again (twrp hybrid) since the latest roms use that and I wanted a new rom anyway. But i thought id back my stuff up but alas the system ui error doesn't allow me to do so. Finally i ended up by using fastboot to flash the new recovery but even after it said OK ! my phone won't boot into recovery.
So now i am stuck with a OP2 that boots into cm13 but cant get past the lockscreen, a recovery that won't load and a fastboot mode that is the only working thing.
God I really shouldve backed it up i know. But is there a way I can resolve this without losing my data?
I have an exam and the notes are in them.
Help is appreciated !

The phone doesn't boot it stucksat the Google logo. I the tried unlocking but not successful,
is there any help for me? thanks in advance
Dont wanna be the bad news guy but I think you broke your device.
You can't do anything in the bootloader now. Try to do stuff in TWRP. If TWRP still functions normally we can do something.

If it boots up just boot it. I face this corruption screen every day on 5X, I also have locked bootloader with TWRP onboard and no issues so far (stop talking bull**** that this will brick device, btw).
You said it can't read internal memory. What exactly it display (I assume it can't decrypt it)
Try to sideload random ROM and install it, then toggle OEM unlock.

I see no other option than full wipe and reflashing stock. So your data will be gone
Format /data in TWRP,
Reboot recovery,
Put any stock system image you have (system vendor, boot, recovery) to internal storage. (I assume you have at least one factory image on PC if not download),
Flash them in recovery (flash recovery last just in case)
Device SHOULD boot up.
