Help Needed: Phone stuck on Motorola's warning screen. - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Ok so recently I was backing up and wiping my phone as a procedure I do every couple of months to make sure everything's up-to-date.
But when I tried to boot into it this time, it got stuck on Motorola's unlocked bootloader screen and won't boot into recovery mode or turn off.
Everytime I try to turn it off, it reboots to said screen and gets stuck. My previous root was phh's Superuser, and I was upgrading it to Magisk's root.
I was also upgrading twrp 3.0.0 athene to twrp 3.1.1.
Currently I have the stock firmware downloaded from AndroidSages and the OTA Update pulled from my phone, as well as all the files stated above.
All I'm trying to do is boot into recovery mode, as I can make my way from there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hold power and volume down for 2-5mins it will boot into bootloader from there you can boot into recovery or flash the stock rom
ADB will not work unless you are booted into bootloader or the os

That's the issue, it's not booting into recovery mode. If I could boot into TWRP I could push the stock firmware to the phone and I think I'd be all well and good.
What seems to be happening is that because the warning message comes before the phone can boot into recovery mode I can't boot into recovery mode.
That advice would be more helpful for someone with a different issue.

So you saying you can boot into bootloader
If yes then try reflashing the twrp
Or just boot recovery using fast boot
fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
Try the older version

Maybe I wasn't being clear the first time but here's a vidual interpretation. The issue I'm having is that I can't boot into the bootloader, if I could I'd do what you said.
A Proper Load: Device Powers On > Motorola Boot Warning > Bootloader/Recovery/Normal Boot
My Issue: Device Powers On > Motorola Boot Warning [Freeze]

Somehow it fixed itself. All I did was reinstall Android Studio and the Android SDK and it work.
ADB wasn't showing any devices before the install, but now it is.
In case this happens in the future, can someone figure out what the hell happened?

Now that issue is solved, my wifi seems to not be working. From the moment I booted into the stock rom I haven't been able to connect/view any wifi networks.

Stuck in a boot loop and can't enter recovery mode

All my beloved XDA memebers, I need your help badly.
I screwed up. I'm on TruePureX 6.0 but updated Super SU through TWRP (Popped up a message; I learned later the mistake I made).
1. The phone got stuck at Android boot screen and won't start.
2. I then researched to find out I could flash this SuperSU 2.62 version to get the phone started but nothing happend .
3. I then researched to find out I should fash a clean version of TruePurXMM as SuperSU 2.62 was not working for me. I used this thread
4. But this thread said TWRP 3.0 is minimum so I flashed that from my TWRP 2.8.7
5. I can no longer boot into the TWRP recovery mode as I'm getting fail to start up error on the recovery , Error: Failed to start the kernel
6. I'm not able to connect the phone to PC as the phone is not going in recovery mode and its not going passed the android screen due to super SU upgrade.
I'd immensely appreciate your help as I love my moto X and XDA tweaks, tips.

It sounds like you flashed the recovery to the boot partition instead of recovery. I would suggest flashing back to stock with fastboot, if you can get there.
Im in the same situation. was on my phone, it started freezing. i power cycled the phone and plugged it in. phone stuck on boot animation for several minutes until i powered it down and tried to go to recovery to wipe caches. however the phone stayed on the recovery boot image as well. finally got the phone to boot past the boot animation but was just on a black screen for several minutes. i need serious help. im already downloading the revert back to stock files just in case...please help!
thank you!

Help twrp

I have a Huawei P9 Lite and i have installed twrp and android 7.0 on it. Now I want to install Google assistant, but when i try to boot in twrp recovery (volume down + power b) it shows me the screen where it says ''Installing update'' and then freezes at 5 % so i have to hold my power button to power off the phone.
If I dont try to run in the twrp, phone works just fine.
I apologize for my bad english.
Hi there,
I will move your thread in the correct forum dedicated to Huawei P9 Lite for more relevant answers.
Good luck
Bump..
Just to state that I am in the same boat here; as I am facing the same issue. Here's what happened in my case (using a guide found here at XDA-Developers):
-- unlocked the bootloader
-- booted to bootloader and flashed twrp
-- used adb to reboot to recovery (adb reboot recovery)
-- used twrp recovery to flash nougat update (two zip files, one ~1300mb and second ~680mb)
-- had some errors that were expected, the guide said ignore them and reboot after both zips have been flashed.
-- the flash overall was successful as the phone booted in emui 5 with android nougat. However, there was no virtual keyboard; so decided to do a factory reset
-- rebooted to recovery, but this time, the phone booted to huawei erecovery
-- did a factory reset, but to no avail
-- now, i can't boot into twrp to flash anything else. booting into bootloader and using fastload to flash recovery image is successful, but the phone does not boot to twrp recovery; remain stuck on "your phone is booting up" (or something similar).
My phone is not bricked, as basic telephony, wifi and built-in apps are working fine. But, without a keyboard, its pretty useless for everyday use. Any help in this matter will be appreciated.

This seems helpful; but how can I flash recovery if I can't boot to fastboot?
[Update] Oh, got to fastboot, trying the suggested recovery now.
Fixed
Fixed using the suggestion above. Thanks.

Moto G4 recovery boot loop

I really need help here. New to rooting androids, will pay BTC for whoever can help me.
I started off fine, unlocked my bootloader, flashed to TWRP and installed supersu. * I WAS ABLE TO BOOT INTO SYSTEM HERE *
I then tried to flash some other stuff and got stuck where it would only boot to TWRP.
Downloaded the stock firmware to flash it (XT1625) and ran all the commands.
Still everytime I reboot it goes into recovery mode.
Any help?
I have tried to do factory reset directly from phone menu. This got me into TWRP. I have selected factory reset again.
Then I was able to boot only to TWRP, not system.
I have fixed it by booting into booloader (power + vol downs) and to select START. Then it started to system OK.
Not sure if this is your case.

Thank you very much for your tutorial which helped a lot.
What did you do to keep it from booting into recovery upon the next reboot? Mine goes into recovery-loop again once I do regular reboot from the system. There might be a software switch somewhere.
Thanks alot

Hello, I didn't observe such issue. Reboots from system are ok for me.
Download the correct firmware for your phone, if it is AMZ variant then download AMZ firmware.

SM-T580 Softbricked, Currently on reboot loop, can't flash any stock firmware

Here's what happened:
1. flashed wrong twrp version for 8.1 oreo, used correct CF-auto root
- tablet booted to stock recovery screen a few times but i figured it was part of the process so I just rebooted
-ended up getting a failed identification verification
-i know the auto root worked because my warranty is void :silly:
2. reset my tablet from the failed verification screen
-eventually got myself to a blue erasing screen loop
-flashed twrp again and got myself to a point where booting into recovery resulted in glitchy lines
3. attempted to factory reset from reboot with adp
-not sure if it worked tbh
-also tried to reboot to recovery screen and that didn't really do anything
4. found and installed the proper version of twrp (3.2.3-4)
-now stuck in feedback loop that occasionally shows the twerp screen so i know something's right
-won't boot to recovery screen but will boot to download page
-doesn't show up in adp devices during this loop
-- have CONTINUOUSLY tried flashing firmware (I've tried 6.0, 7.0?, and 8.1) none of them have worked, sporting some variant of secure check fail (PIT, bootloader, or RADIO)
-- have tried the mod here but it fails after param.bin and i can't use it directly after auto root without rebooting because it gets stuck on setup connection
-- most likely not a hardware problem because i had this tablet for basically a day before i did this to myself
--OEM is unlocked, not that i could change it even if it wasn't
---is there anything that anyone would recommend trying before i take this to geek squad (who may not help me but i'm still going to try) or should i just cry myself to sleep over wasting $300 :crying::crying:

I can boot to download mode but i can't boot to recovery mode after flashing twrp. When I try I just get stuck in a reboot loop, so I can't try to boot to recovery from adp either.

If you can flash twrp then not booting to twrp must be pilot error.
It MUST be done immediately after flashing in odin.

Question Help with Nothing phone stuck in Fastboot mode (A13 Beta 1.5.1)

Hello,
I was trying to downgrade my phone from the beta to Android 12 and it's now stuck in Fastboot mode. Won't let me enter recovery. Tries to boot but just stays on the nothing logo. My bootloader is unlocked. I'm assuming I need the same firmware I was running to reload onto the phone. Any other files needed?
Thank you so much! cheers

I can't enter recovery mode. Only fastboot.
Flash boot and vendor_boot and you'll be right back in recovery
If it's not booting try set active slot to either a or B and flash the images mentioned above

I'm having a similar issue coming off a fastboot stuck device. I guess I managed to delete the recovery mode from slot B so I can't get into fastbootd to flash some of the lower level partitions to make my fingerprint sensor work.
The vendor_image is the recovery?
Did you guys find any solution? I am stuck with my phone stuck in the bootloader mode and I can't seem to do anything.
Here's what I did:
1) Unlocked bootloader while being on NOS 1.5.1 Beta. Successfuly did it.
2) Restarted my phone to bootloader mode and flashed dtbo, boot and vendor_boot from SuperiorOS 11th Feb build.
3) Proceeded to restart to recovery as mentioned in the instructions but instead of restarting to recovery, it restarted to bootloader.
4) Stuck in bootloader mode ever since!
Nothing seems to be working. I have tried literally everything but cannot get past the bootloader. Please help. I don't have any secondary device to use.
