So I followed all the instructions to root my moto x and now I think I'm bricked. Won't boot passed the first 2 screens. (That warning unlocked screen then the Motorola screen after that) won't go any further. When I try to go to the recovery option in fastboot it gives me an error message. Someone please help? I need my phone.
Can you reflash stock recovery from the boot loader?
Nope. Can't do anything. Won't let me flash all for stock ROM. I get an error message. Won't open stock recovery. Wont let me press any button to get any kind if answer. I'm so confused. It won't get passed the first boot screen.
What model do you have? Also can you get into fastboot mode?
Were you on marshmallow before rooting?

My N7 ended up in a boot loop after the 5.1 update. I can get to the bootloader and I can get to recovery. HOWEVER, the bootloader is still locked and the debugging mode is not enabled.
In fastboot, I can send the OEM unlock command, but the N7 screen just blinks and comes right back to the bootloader screen saying that the current status is locked.
I can go to the recovery screen and get to the option to sideload, but when I try to sideload the system file, it always says that the footer is wrong and that the signature verification failed. I've tried several different files from the Android factory images.
I've also tried the Nexus Root Toolkit and the SkipSoft Toolkit and they don't seem to work either.
ANY help would be appreciated.
Welcome to the bricked N7 club. Same thing happened to mine after taking the OTA 5.1 update.
+1 Also the same here Lock state - Locked nothing works, also the recovery mode is not working on mine (think I wiped the device somehow)
Anyone know how to fix the recovery mode also? I cant Flash recovery as the bootloader is locked?

I'm still struggling with this. I've tried the Nexus Root Toolkit v 2.0.5 and it doesn't seem to do anything. I can tell it to unlock the bootloader, but at the top of the screen it just says "unlocking now........" and never unlocks it.
Starting to get really frustrated......
hi guys, I have TWRP flashed on ok, but whenever i flash a kernel with odin, it appears to complete ok, but the phone begins to boot then freezes on a black screen with some lines of text at the top. I have to pull the battery and enter download again, and re-flash recovery.
im also unclear about any potential requirement to unlock the boot loader, im not sure what the current status of that is either on mine.
thanks

Ok- I need some help. If anyone cares to comment or point me in any direction it would be greatly appreciated.
TL;DR - tried to flash stock image and it still doesn't work.
My phone basically committed suicide last week for no apparent reason. No physical damage with the device that I am aware of so I presume it is just soft bricked. I attempted the usual clear/wipe cache and the stock recovery factory reset to no avail.
After turning it on it will just be stuck at the red Motorola "M" logo. Right before it got put in this boot loop a few system apps crashed so I rebooted (Google Play, Google Chrome), and the phone never came back up.
I do not have root, nor an unlocked boot loader, which seems to be why I can't load any custom recovery stuff (tried fastbooting the Clockwork Recovery image).
I've attempted to flash the stock image (VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF.xml.zip) from sd_shadow's stickied post[1]. According to RSD lite the flash is successful, but its still stuck in the boot loop
One thing I noticed is that the AP Fastboot screen doesn't actually print out anything other than "usb connected" during/after flashing. I would think it should print some diagnostics, or at least a success message. I'm suspicious because the AP Fastboot screen will print security or sizing error messages when it fails.
flashboot screen reads:
PHP:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
10.9B(*) (sha-61146a2, 2014-07-29 06:20:44)
eMMC Info: Size 8GB

Nope, and my guess is I would need the bootloader unlocked to get any further. The Razr M doesn't show up on this list so I'm not even going to bother

any Motorola with Droid in the name, and Verizon on it, will not have an official unlock option

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.
So I was trying to install the new Oreo beta, and couldn't get into TWRP, and couldn't get it to flash it either. So I tried to reinstall the stock recovery by using flashall, but during the process I accidentally disconnected my phone. For a while I was stuck in a bootloop, but I've gotten it to the point where I actually get in. But it still says my device is corrupted and cannot be trusted and may not work properly. Does anyone know how to fix this? The phone is functional, but I worry that it will fail to boot when I'm not near a computer.
Edit: Problem solved, realized I needed to flash the full stock.
that message comes up when bootloader is unlocked
For that specific boot message (I believe it's a red screen) you have to use invisiblek's boot fix.
Look at his page https://mata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ at the very bottom and follow the instructions.

Do I fastboot flash this boot image then the stock boot image or just over top of the stock boot image? Also the boot fix image is only ~26mb while the stock boot image is ~65mb?
