Hi guys, have a quick question. I have a Moto X 2014 with unlocked boot loader, whenever i switch it off and on again it goes to the boot loader screen and asks if i want to power it up normally. Is that normal?
thank you.
That is not normal. It should good give the bootloader unlocked screen but still boot up on its own. What else has been done to the phone?

My trusty old nexus one is stuck in the boot animation. It's not rooted, in fact when the power button failed and I was going to put a custom rom on it that allowed for unlocking via the trackball adb oem unlock returned an error.
I assume it doesn't get very far in the sequence or isn't set up for developer mode since adb never sees it, and find the boot loader screen impossible to work with without a power button.
Is there anything I'm missing to recover the phone before I sell it for parts?
Thanks in advance,

Its fastboot OEM not adb but that does not matter since you can't do it anyways.
Use/try the passing.zip method to restore/downgrade and root. Or just fix the power button and unlocked the bootloader.

Great idea, can you link me to that process? I'm not seeming to find it.
Thanks and thanks again in advance.

Many thanks! That did it.
i have searched high and low for help on this one and can't find anything similar.... Though I found one thread that suggests I attempt the HTVDEV unlock code 5 times in a row.. Which did not work.
I returned my phone to stock several weeks ago. Locked the boot loader (see pic#1) Then I had something weird happen , where The phone rebooted to a "enter password to decrypt"??? I never encrypted my phone. So I read the only way around this was to do a factory reset. So, I rebooted the phone into bootloader and attempted a factory reset. The phone then rebooted and is frozen on the HTC splash screen. See pic#3
I have attempted to unlock the bootloader so I can flash a good recovery (which I cannot access, then will just reboot)
So basically I only have access to fastboot. When I plug in the phone into windows, I cannot access through ADB. (Same thing in Linux)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Have you attempted an RUU?

I could not get an ADB connection. I attempted to flash a new recovery, but of course with no root, s-on and bootloader locked... no dice.

Can you get into fastboot?

fasboot yes for me. i can get to the point to unlock the bootloader, but it freezes when i tap "yes"
Gentleman, any luck on this?

Yeah and all you can do from fastboot with those restrictions is, erase cache. Erase it like 3 times in a row and see if it works, who knows. I flashed cwm recovery which sometimes gets me into recovery, like 1 out of 10 recovery flashes. then you are allowed to finally use adb commands
Hi Guys,
Would appreciate some help, though I realise I may be out of luck. My device is rooted with twrp installed, I thought i'd lock my bootloader so that the new killswitch / device reset protection would have some use.
Basically, it's now stuck in a boot loop. I get a flashing teamwin (twrp) logo when I try to turn it on, that's all. Here's the kicker, I can't unlock my bootloader again because I didn't have "allow OEM unlock" ticked in the developer settings.
Anyone have any ideas? I don't care if I lose my data, just panicking right now.
My Thanks!
Someone smarter than I can tell you how to use fast boot to unlock your boot loader.
TLDR: someone can help you that someone is not me. Worry not.

Its locked. Wont unlock because allow OEM unlock in android is unchecked. This setting is crazy
Thanks for the replies guys, anyone else got suggestions? Would motorola fix this if I sent to them? I assume they must have some development tools or qualcomm software that could do it.

I would assume they could.
The same thing happened to me and I thought for sure I was completely shafted. Turns out you can get back into your device by doing the following:
fastboot format users
fastboot format cache
I then rebooted the phone and voila, back into Andriod where I can click that unlock setting off and try installing the custom recovery yet again.
Yesterday, some bad things happened when I went to switch ROMs. Eventually, I ended up erasing my internal storage and re-locking the bootloader. I am aware that mistakes were made and I take full responsibility for my foolish actions.
So right now the problem is that I can't unlock the bootloader with the fastboot command because the "Allow OEM unlocking" box is not checked. The main problem here is that I can't simply boot into the OS and check this. I have no OS because I wiped my internal storage, including all my backups (Yes, I am an idiot.).
The phone is currently stuck on the bootloader screen. Rebooting into recovery just makes the Google splash screen flicker and it goes back to the bootloader immediately. I've seen similar threads but I haven't seen anything that mirrors my issue.
Is the phone bricked until we find a way to bypass the "Allow OEM unlocking" checkbox?
Thanks,

Yes you are bricked.

What recovery is on it?
Have you tried booting a recovery image if you don't have stock recovery?
fastboot boot recovery.img
I'd try to boot twrp may not work with the lock
fastboot erase cache got me out of trouble but I didn't relock my boot loader.
Wish I had a nexus stuck in this situation to fiddle with.

I don't believe that command works with a locked bootloader. It had TWRP. Rebooting into recovery doesn't work at all. It just flickers the Google screen then goes back to bootloader menu.
The only thing that the phone does now is show the bootloader screen.
Simply powering on the phone brings it to the bootloader menu. I don't even have to hold power + vol up/down.
Yep it does that if you wipe the OS. There's nothing you can do at the moment.

Does a PC recognize it when connected? Can you get fastboot to see the device?

Yes he can. His bootloaders is locked though so he cannot unlock it.

Oh, ouch. I must have missed that part. So it's basically the same issue so many others have run into.

Unfortunately so.
I recently got a Motorola Moto X 2nd gen(kind of an old phone). I've been experimenting with bootloader and rooting my device. Being the idiot that I am, I decided to reboot my device for no reason. I got a boot loop and have tried factory resetting which did not work. I'm kind of desperate at this point.

Can you put the phone in bootloader mode and type:
fastboot getvar all
And paste all the info here.
