I have a Moto X Style Indian version & for some reason my phone is continuously restarting. The moment I go in settings/developer options I can see the message developer options not available for this user. I want to take a backup of my gallery but the phone just doesn't remain switched on for me to connect & take the backup. I have tried going into recovery mode & wiping the cache but still the issue remains. Can anyone help me get my data back? If I can get the data then I can format the phone.

Go into TWRP, put in an SD card en use TWRP File manager to copy your files to the SD card?

It's not rooted. It's a complete stock phone with stock recovery.

Are you backing your photos up on Google Photos? How long do you have in the system until the device reboots? It could be a stuck in power button, like the Nexus 5 is known for. To determine if this is the case, boot the phone into fastboot by holding power and volume down and let it sit for a minute. If it selects an option without you selecting anything, it is most likely a power button issue. In this case, rapidly flick the power button even though it may feel physically fine and tell me if that works.
Thanks for helping out. No backup on Google photos is not done. The phone remains for max 5 to 10secs. I doubt the power button is the issue as I've been to recovery mode to wipe the cache, if power button was pressed I'm sure I would have come across issues while wiping the cache.
If the phone is still under warranty send it back. If the data means that much to you then I think you will need to void the warranty and unlock the bootloader then flash TWRP. From TWRP if it stays up you can connect it to your computer and download your data.
I don't know how much can be done from the bootloader/stock recovery, but I don't think it's much. Maybe try flashing a new system partition from the bootloader and see if it boots?

Hey every one I'm new to xda and I got my samsung vibrant rooted with the stock system recovery and was working fine but than I decided to do some apps and file transfer from another android phone to it and after that my phone kinda froze on me. So I rebooted the phone and boom nothing happen after the galaxy s animation, its just stuck there then the screen went black out. I rebooted again and this time I went to the sustem recovery mode and try to do the data reset but it couldn't fix it either. I tried to connected to my computer but since the phone wasn't fully booted into the home screen my computer are unable to detect the phone driver. I reconnect the phone and computer together, and this time I got to where it say's "downloading" "do noy turn off target", what is that mean? is it download something or is that I'm suppost to do something to it. Please can someone help me out. I've already download the stock firmwire but couldn't be able to transfer to the mass storage cos the phone couldn't boot beyound the galaxy s animation and eventhough its in the system recovering I still couldn't get it to connect to the phone mass storage. What can I do to fix it?.
You can take the battery out at that screen, but I don't know if it's going to fix your overall issue.
Take sd out. Hook to computer with adapter. Move stock nandroid to sd. Replace sd in phone. Boot into clockwork recovery. Restore nandroid. Reboot.you are now stock with root.
one thing
I know what I did is stupid but at lease I learn my lesson. I would really appreciate if someone could help me out.
help
I tried but its not working cost the phone doesn't read what's on the sd card it read only the mass storage which is the 14g not the 2g memorycard.
The SD card won't be in the phone so of course it won't read from it. It will read from the interbal memory, so do it from there.

Turn off the phone, take out the battery and take out the SD card, try to get your hands on a sd card reader for your card so you can fix what you did without using your phone to mount it. Copy the rom or stock firmware over to the card and use the recovery, wipe data/factory reset and then try to load up the stock firmware. if all else fails do a hard reset:
To hard reset Samsung Vibrant, follow the steps below:
Step 1. Turn your Samsung Vibrant off. If your Samsung Vibrant is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it.
Step 2. Hold the Volume Down button.
Step 3. Press and release the Power button.
Step 4. You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastboot, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button, then press and release the Power button.
Step 5. Choose one of these: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO. If you selected YES, all data including third-party applications will be deleted from the Samsung Vibrant.
That is for the default recovery so depending on the recovery you are using try to wipe everything and flash the ROM from the sd card, if you need help PM me or contact me on chat.andirc.net #droideris, or irc.andirc.net #droideris
Best of luck!
A few weeks after updaing my play with marshmallow, last night suddenly these issues starteed after reboot.
1. NO NOTIFICATIONS
2. Not able to pull down notification bar, thus no quick settings
3. Phone is not getting locked even after using the power button to lock
did a cache wipe. Dont wanna lose the data so didnt try the factory reset.
P.S. i was uploading a few pics on googel drive and i got a memory full message. i think after that all the issues starting popping up.
Any suggestions ?

Is the touch working in that area otherwise? Try turning the phone into landscape and in a game or something and touch there and see if the phone is responding.
Have you made modifications to your phone? If not then a factory reset would be my way to go.
Factory reset seems to be the only way and that too through recovery.
i am also facing same issue
try TWRP (if you have it) Clear Dalvik-Cache, Cache and Try to back up all the internal memory data then boot and wait the optimization apps. i hope it helps you . srry my bad english
TWRP (Recovery)
Same issue, my solution:
Go to settings>users> select guest
After "guest" login, notification bar and USB connection will start to work again, then return to "owner". Now, you can make your backup. "Reset phone" remains grey and isn't possible reset system, use power button and vol- to enter fastboot to make a factory reset. Only after that the phone will work fine again!
Good luck!
Update: *SOLVED*
I got a strange message that popped up on my phone this morning. It stated "It's gonna rain. Take a umbrella with you". It stayed on top everything else and wouldn't go away. I thought that it could possibly be one of my weather apps and got stuck, so I rebooted. After that point, it gets to the Google loading screen animation and never passes. After subsequent reboots, it does the same thing. I am able to get into TWRP recovery though.
Does anyone know what be causing this and/or how to remedy it? Might it be some type of malware? I have attached a screenshot of it.

Thanks for the link! I do have GO Weather installed, and I have no issue with getting rid of it. Although, I'm unsure how to do that since I can't boot. Any recommendations?

well, since you can boot in twrp you can do a factory reset.
safe mode is a better idea but i dont think you can boot into safe mode without starting the phone.
here are the steps but i dont think it will work so try to delete dalvik and cache from recovery, if that didnt work I think factory reset is the only option unless someone has a better idea
Make sure your device's screen is on, then press & hold the Power button.
In the box that opens, touch & hold Power off.
You’ll see a “Reboot to safe mode” box. Touch OK.
Your device will start up in safe mode. Try using your device normally. Remember, you won’t be able to use any installed apps

I tried clearing the cache and dalvik earlier, along with deleting the GO Weather app files, but that didn't help. I thought about safe mode, but I don't see a way to do it without already being booted to Android.
What if I dirty flash the same stock 6.0 ROM I'm using? I'd like to keep files and apps intact, so I'd prefer to not perform a factory reset, but will if I exhaust other options.
I just realized that I never came back here to update on what happened. I wound up booting into TWRP recovery, connecting to my PC via USB, backing up any data that I needed, then factory reset. That took care of it. Luckily, that also cleared up some other minor, but annoying, issues I was having. Needless to say, I haven't been and won't be using GO Weather EX any longer.
Yesterday I accidentally installed the OTA update. I got stuck in TWRP and flashed a new ROM. Phone booted up fine, but now I have no cellular signal, nothing that uses video or sound works. Camera doesn't work, flashlight doesn't work.
I tried several different ROMS and nothing changes. Even the system sounds, ringtones and so on do not work. Anyone have any idea what I can do? Thanks
boot into fastboot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase fota
fastboot erase boot
then pull battery and reboot into twrp by holding power and vol down, when lg logo appears then click the power button and re-hold it down to get into twrp.
once in twrp, check and see if system is mounted, if it wont let you mount, go to wipe and wipe everything (not ur sd of course)
System, cache, dalvik, data, internal, everything... the fastboot should have already done this but let twrp do it too..
once done, use the format option and format data also, some of these may error thats okay, just keep going..
once done reflash the full rom that matches your device.. let it flash and reboot and do its thing. this should fix the issues...
once it boots you may need to let it activate, or re-activate.
Only other suggestion would be if you have a twrp backup and you backed up your efs, its time to restore it also and see if the NV files have been damaged.
I've tried installing several different roms available on xda but that didn't resolve the issue. My phone remains in a boot loop state. Is there a way I can return to stock without compromising my ability to use the current root exploits?
Might help to know what you've got currently, are you able to get to recovery at all, etc?
I could get into TWRP with no problem, I could flash any rom, but all would give me the same issues, no sounds, no flashlight, no cell signal. I think the OTA update messed something up. I ended up putting the phone back to stock, locking the bootloader and exchanging the phone for a new one. I got my new one today, it's on 10d, just tried to root it the same way as the last time and it keeps failing. I get the same problem as the guy on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/helpt-easyrecowvery-t3543873
My Solution
[MY FIX]
this post contains my working solution to the problem.
my problem is...
I accidentally clicked on 'install OTA update' on a rooted lg v20 t-mobile. A second after clicking it I realized that was the wrong button to press. AND so the start of the endless TWRP boot loop that allowed me to access TWRP to perform multiple tasks but couldn't boot back into my system UI where I can make phone calls.
I had this problem and spent days trying to figure how to get it back.
my solution is...
I tried everything to delete the *fota* and *misc* folders with fastboot; however none of the methods worked, until I tried the methods suggested in step#1 in "Stuck in a endless boot loop to twrp " in https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-ls997-stock-debloated-su-goodies-t3531923.
So after deleting *fota* and *misc*, I had to exit the bootloop by 'reset all data option' by pressing YES twice. You read that right, you will have to agree to reset all user data by clicking YES twice. THO the effect will NOT reset all your data; it will just kick you out of TWRP recovery mode. I was pleasantly surprised to still have my data.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDq0qMbgjL4 That video shows as proof that it doesn't break things and also how to get into TWRP. You can also use the same methods to get out of TWRP.
Here's the text version:
1. hold volume down and power.
2. when lg logo shows up click power and re hold it while still holding vol down.
3. if you do it right in about 4 seconds or so it will boot to a menu, choose yes both times and you'll be back in (or out of) twrp. (yes you read that right!, don't worry you wont lose your data)
Hope this works for you as it did for me. I'm only posting because I didn't find a comprehensive solution post.

This fixed my issue. Thank you so much!
For further clarification, I had to delete all these folders that existed (I didn't have them all) using TWRP file manager. Make sure system is mounted. :
/fota
/misc
/data/fota
/cache/fota
/data/misc
/etc/fota
/system/etc/fota
Powered off after that, and then I manually booted into TWRP using the buttons method and hit reboot system and all was fixed.

Don't use Easy Recowvery. Do it manually from the original thread. You can also google it for some sites that have cleaned the instructions up for easier reading.
I just did a H918 10d like this.
Let me get this out of the way first: I did NOT brick the phone myself it was after a Verizon OTA update two days ago that has bricked my phone.
I am seemingly stuck in a bootloop that has left me unable to access my phone at all. Safe Mode and regular will not boot up; with regular boot it gives me the notification on the bottom of the screen for "Optimizing Apps", going through the entire count before rebooting back to Recovery, with Safe Mode attempted it just throws me back to Recovery. I CAN access Download Mode, but SafeSwitch and Windows fail to recognize my device when I plug it in. I'm looking to try to recover at least my photos and videos from the device with the possibility of my text messages as well (on that note: I was given an option to erase app data in a possibility to access Safe Mode. Would this erase my texts if I did this?). Is there any way that I can pull all the stuff off of my phone, or am I out of luck?

You are probably going to have to wipe data in recovery. To het it to boot have you tried wiping cache in recovery. As far as your computer not recognize phone try a different port or different cable. By the way its not very smart too post your IMEI number people can clone your phone with that

Well I told you you will probably have to wipe data or try a new cable or different computer. If you have an s8+ you can try my rescue rom and boot to safestrap and maybe you could get your stuff but most likely to mount data in safestrap you would need to wipe to remove encryption as well but im not sure

Well the problem is that I can't wipe data; I'm trying to save the data on there. I have a replacement device so I'm not trying to save the device itself, just the data.
Do you have a link to your rescue from that you can PM me please?
