yes you can. If your phone is in bootloader mode, you also can connect your phone to your computer and start Motorola Device Manager and see if MDM will repair your phone automatically.

Moto G2 XT1063 goes to AP FASTBOOT EVERYTIME when turn on

I´m using Windows 7 X64, installed moto G2 drivers, unlocked bootloader, used ADB to bootload and successfuly restored stock ROM to lollipop 5.0.2 , BUT EVERYTIME I TURN OFF/ON (power button used only) DEVICE TAKES ME BACK TO AP FASTBOOT and have to select NORMAL POWERUP to start using my device.
What do i do so device doesn´t take me to ap fastboot screen all the time when i just click on power button?
I apologize if there´s a thread about this topic but couldn´t find it.

Remote command not allowed for unlocked bootloader

I want to flash custom recovery in my phone but it shows
remote: command not allowed
In bootloader, it shows that it is unlocked.
i get the same error when I type
fastboot oem devices-info
remote: command not allowed
I tried
fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXX(huawei code)
and it shows my phone already unlocked
and I tried
fastboot oem relock XXXXXXX
it shows
remote root type is risk
and I tried
fastboot oem lock
it shows
remote command not allowed
The recovery is still Huawei e-recovery, it asked me to download the update but it always failed when it comes to download package.
What should I do now?

To boot your recovery, disconnect from pc, press and hold power, vol up until a reboot, let go of power but keep the other pressed for about 5,6 sec more.

this thread has continued to be unaswered for several years now.
only tested 2 phones... and it seems they both have bootloader status is unknown. i can do fastboot and recovery mode on the 2 phones but on fastboot mode.. only shows blank screen... idk why it's like that. i downgraded both phones to 12.2.0 version. and bootloader status is still unknown. it can be recognized by the computer in fastboot mode using fastboot devices command but you can't do anything to it. fastboot oem device-info does not work only shows .......... , fastboot oem unlock ....., only one working is fastboot adb_enable .. kinda useless. .. i gave up on unlocking the bootloader for this phone.. im too noob for this.

I opened this thread when I was still "noob-ish". The device's bootloader can't be unlocked. Unless someone hacks into it's bootloader (like LG L Fino), it might be possible.

I found a way to unlock bootloader on this device. Just run this commands:
Code:

fastboot reboot-bootloader

I got root access with KingRoot and then flashed TWRP with Flashify.
Somehow that gave me access to bootloader without the necessity to downgrade the firmware.

Redmi 4 (Santoni) bricked. Please help.

I unlocked my redmi 4 (Santoni) boot loader and flashed pixel experience ROM (https://mega.nz/#F!INZgnAZI!9fuWhfCuazOO5YPBjxGlmA). It was working fine for a few days (Small heating issue was there). Then one day while i was charging the phone the phone turned off and never turn back on. When i try to switch on the mi logo flashes for a split second and then turns off. I tried to get into recovery but couldn't.
I can get into fastboot mode. I tried flashing the phone using Mi flash tool and fastboot rom. But it shows an error "flash tz error". When i tried an old version of mi flash tool i get the "Unspecified error (0x80004005: FAILED (remote: Critical partition flashing is not allowed))
Please Help.....

Have you tried installing TWRP via fastboot?
I had the same exact problem, i put my phone on charge & when i came back to check it was switched off. It wouldn't turn on except the mi logo. I tried to flash through fastboot turns out my bootloader was re-locked for some reason. I had to re-unlock it then proceed on to fash fastboot miui rom. Check if your bootloader is locked or not.

This is a good idea! Probably u first try to install trwp in fastboot mode. If this doesn't work try to unlock bootloader again and then install trwp.
When all these Option doesn't work u still can open the phone and use edl fastboot mode to flash miui again.

Tried unlocking boot loader and was not successful because the phone was bricked. My only option was to use edl test point. Now i installed miui 11. (Aprart from some minor bugs which can be eliminated by reflashing some other roms) Thank you guys. Now my phone is successfully unbricked.
For somebody who is having the same issues,
My phone (Redmi 4_Santoni) was completely bricked. The only thing i can access was fastboot by pressing the volume down + Power button combination. But i could not install twrp or any other recovery because my boot loader was locked. I got it fixed completely with the help of you guys (Thanks again) and i want to share the procedure i went through.
Condition: Completely bricked with only fastboot access, Locked bootloader.
I tried this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j27x5iJSS40) but failed because i could not access recovery. So my only solution was to use edl test point flashing. I followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74818435&postcount=3. It was very easy to do. But in the device manager (Press Windows key + R and then type devmgmt.msc and press enter) instead of showing "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008", the device is shown as "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E". The problem was you have to plug in in USB cable while the test points is being connected with a pair of tweezers or a paperclip as shown in the link above.
Make sure you already downloaded the latest mi flash tool from here https://xiaomiflashtool.com/ and download fast boot rom from the official website. (Go to https://en.miui.com/ Click rom downloads. Click flashing guide. Download the fastboot rom from there for your device.) Now flash your device using mi flash tool and voila. your phone is unbricked.
Thank you guys..

edl mode 9008 v40 very easy

(french) hello
I could not start in edl mode with the xda instructions but I found a videos
phone on android, connected to the computer by usb. you keep pressing the power button and the volume down button.
when the screen goes black immediately you strafe the volume + button for 2 sec.
the secret is the windows song if the phone is on. when you hear windows song strafe the volume +. i know I did it with my phone off and my phone on quite a few times
normally your computer will recognize the phone in the correct mode. if there is a problem do not forget to install these drivers and restart the computer as it will stay in edl mode and will be well supported.

that's funny visibbly before you unlock or reflash the original bootloader the phone don't have fastboot mode with me. but fastboot don't work well in windows. it work erfectly on linux ubuntu with me at exemple.
thanks for your attention
yeah, it is very easy
So this is how you go into fastboot ?
I have the V405 EBW & I am unable to go to fastboot to get the device ID.

no no we should not confuse.
there is download mode in originale lg phone for flash stock roms
there is "edl mode" for unlock bootloader
there is fastboot mode when you unlock the bootloader with this screen.
a tips. root first your phone. 2 backup your firmware. 3 flash twrp. i had problem because i don't do this. there is stock firmware already rooted. its easily.

But you can get to fastboot, just not the way you read on the internet.
The device doesn't have fastboot available, until, you put it in edl mode and use qfil to flash the 'engineering' abl. That's what gives you fastboot.
You could, at that point, use fastboot to get the info for unlock.bin. But why? because at that point you can just type 'fastboot oem unlock', and it's unlocked.

Unlock only works with Oreo ??
I have Pie
How do I downgrade without root ?
Is it possible ?
If I can flash a firmware without root
I'd be more than happy to flash a custom rom which has LG's apps instead of Google annoying ones.
