[Help] Black screen after using flashify to flash stock recovery.img - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

So, just like the title says. I was running stock 6.0.1 rooted with TWRP and EX Kernel. All was good but I fancied trying out N soak test so downloaded that ready to go. Grabbed a stock recovery.img from one of these fine threads and proceeded to flash it with flashify. I intended to boot into stock recovery and flash the soak test. rebooted and now stuck at a black screen, holding down power or power + vol down is doing nothing. If I plug it into a charger or PC I get the flashing LED. Have I bricked my Moto G?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Try to push the power button for 2-3 minutes.

Oh wow, it booted up just fine. Phew.
Thank you so much.
Think I'll just stick TWRP back on it and leave it be.

you have to time it correctly. Turn on the phone holding power and volume down. Then when the logo shows. Quickly (not too quickly) release two buttons and press them again and hold them until recovery factory reset screen appears then press two times power button to get into recovery.

Your bootloope, can you get into download mode? Try vol up and power. Then vol down to recovery....
Got a reply from the other thread:
Use this method (scroll down to where it says Master Reset with Hardware Keys). I ran into this issue a few times, and this is how I can get back into TWRP (when you follow the instructions, instead of wiping everything it boots into TWRP)
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-7590 [start from "when LG Logo is displayed", since you can't power off]
(NB: It says T-mobile, but it works for all variants)
THIS WORKED!!!!!!!
Thanks again guys!

[Q] Please help! Stuck at LG Splash screen on boot

I am rooted and had PhilZ recovery installed on the vs980. I wiped data, cache, and davlik to install a new rom, but the install failed. After the install failed I realized I had deleted my backups I had. When I went to reboot the phone said it could not find root and would attempt to root on its own or something of that matter. I am now stuck on the lg spash screen with the led blinking green/blue. I cannot boot into recovery or download mode by holding the volume+power buttons the phone just vibrates and turns off for a sec then right back to the lg screen. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance
Yeah try booting into recovery but a little differently this time.. Turn the phone off, hold power and volume down to turn it on but keep holding it until it shuts off again. Then press power and volume down again until the LG logo appears. Release and press them again quickly like normal. This has worked for me in the past when I couldn't boot into recovery. Idk why but it did.. Give it a try

adb push ROM of choice.

Bricked Moto X Pure, no fastboot/adb

Completely wiped all files while manual cleanup via twrp. Next thing I remember is rebooting device which is stuck in moto boot logo. Can't even switch off, holding power button for 8/10 sec reboot device to same boot logo loop. No fastboot/adb as I can't get to recovery mode. I have Moto X Pure, XT1575. Any hope?

Holding volume down + power won't boot into bootloader?

You probably deleted your operating system (ROM), you need to get into the bootloader and either flash a new ROM or use fastboot to flash back to stock.
Press and hold Power until the screen goes out, then press Power + Vol Dn immediately and hold until the bootloader screen comes up (might have to play with the timing a little). You should then be able to access fastboot or start TWRP.

I posted this (below) to another thread, but I've seen how well you apply your knowledge base to these types of situations, and I thought I'd run it by your expertise:
Got a NOS Moto X Pure Edition xt1575 and experienced some kind of rooting glitch after having unlocked the bootloader and installing TWRP. Long story short, after a frantic bout of wiping and swiping, the OS is gone, I can't select the micro SD in TWRP, and adb/fastboot only sees the phone in recovery. I found this thread, which seemed promising, but it appears to be a no-go without access to the bootloader. I've flashed so many custom ROMS to a tablet I have, that I thought this phone would be a cakewalk, but it seems to have rolled right over me. So, is it time to slather some mortar on this thing and add it to the wall (bricked), or is there a Hail Mary play, or Jiu Jitsu move out there somewhere? Anything...ANY-THING would be welcome and much appreciated. Thank you.

I don't understand... Does the phone not boot to the bootloader when you hold the volume key? Have you tried my return to stock thread?

P8 Screwed

So I had CM on my P8 before. I wanted to go back to stock, so I rebooted to fastboot and flashed stock recovery and also system.img. What I didn't realize was that I had flashed again the CM system img instead of stock. Now, phone is stuck on the bootanimation in CM and wont boot.
Trying to go to recovery just results in a black screen flash and then reboot to Huawei logo again. Holding the down volume button and powering up, or holding both up and down and powering up doesn't get me into bootloader/fastboot. Even before this the combo key never got me into fastboot.
What do I do?
Thank you.

It kept on rebooting from the black screen., maybe 4 times or more. I just persistently held the button combo till I got into fastboot.

Flashed the wrong Kernel version, what now? <SOLVED>

<SOLVED>
I am still pretty new to Android and modding so be gentle..............
Should have know better. Flashed the latest Omega Kernel on my 6T while watching the kiddos practice for an upcoming belt test. I know I don't mulit task!
Flashed the Android 10 version on my Android 9 phone. Realized what I did when it would go past the bootloader unlocked warning. Eventually it went to the qualcomm dump mode then rebooted.
Now I can't get it to do anything. It is stuck on that screen. Power button does nothing. My theory is if I can get into recovery I can just flash the correct previous version of Omega that is on the phone.....but without a working power button I am stuck. Computer does not even see the phone when I plug it in.
What now?
Many thanks in advance.
Use the MSM Tool method to un brick your phone. Look for the forum in the Roms, Kernels... Section.
You're going to loose all data.
I will get over losing my data. I don't have a windows machine at the house. I will have to go to our shop to use that horrible OS. Thanks for the intel.
You can fix this issue in minutes without requiring to run MSM Tool or lose any data. I faced a similar issue myself few days ago and got it running back again by doing the follows:
Boot your device into fastboot mode, download the latest boot.img (stock or any other kernel) and TWRP and type these in command line:
1) Fastboot flash boot.img
2) Fastboot boot twrp.img
3) Your device will boot into TWRP Recovery, so flash TWRP installer zip so it sticks.
4) Reboot to recovery again and flash Magisk or Full Rom OTA.
You should be fine then.

Thanks, but you missed the part where my power button is not working. The phone is stuck on the 'bootloader unlocked' warning message and the power button does nothing. No way to boot into recovery or fastboot.

Is your power button broken by any chance?
If it isn't, then hold volume up + power button for a few minutes and it will reboot to Fastboot screen.
Edit: Also try volume down + power button if volume up does nothing. Make sure you hold either of the combination for a few minutes until you get a haptic feedback. Google "Boot OnePlus 6T into Fastboot mode" and follow the instructions there. Once in Fastboot, follow what I wrote in my previous reply.

Holding the power button does nothing.
Power + down volume does nothing.
Discovered power + up button WILL turn the phone off. It also just brings it back to the "bootloader unlocked" warning page. It won't bring it to fastboot mode.
Makes sense as recovery is now part of the boot.img instead of a partition. I am assuming fastboot is also part of the boot.img. If that is the case there is no way to get into fastboot with an Android 10 kernel on my Android 9 phone. ..... I think

Go through my reply history. I was on 9.0.17 and had flash RadioActive kernel which was based on/for Android 10 and went into crash dump mode. Doing those steps resolved it.
Both volume buttons + power for a hard shutdown [emoji6]

Should've said seconds, my bad, but your reply is hilarious...lmao xD
Turns out holding all 3 buttons did the trick....in a weird FUBAR kind of way.
1st time it popped into fastboot. Figured what the hell, tried to reboot, nope.
2nd time just booted back to the warning screen.....okay, freaked out again.
Got back into fastboot, flashed twrp, rebooted to the warning screen. SH*T!
Got back to fastboot, flashed twrp, damn thing booted into the os as if nothing had ever happened.
Held my breath, downloaded the correct kernel, rebooted to recovery, flashed, rebooted system. Everything is good.
Guess the a/b partition maybe?
Anyway, problem solved, headache over, NO DATA LOST.
Thank you everyone!

2nd time just booted back to warning screen, uh oh.
3rd time fastboot, flash twrp, booted back to warning screen.
4th time fastboot, twrp, booted into OS like nothing ever happened.
Held my breath, downloaded the correct kernel update, recovery, flashed, rebooted and I am good to go.
Thanks everyone for your help!
Sorry for the dual post, I am in BOTARD mode apparently. Didn't see the post and thought I forgot to send......missed page 1 of 2!

That would be my guess. It should just switch to the functional slot if the other isn't (properly) booting but I've experienced this system to behave quite erratically. I presume these are childhood diseases of a relatively new Android partitioning system.
Back in the 'old' system all you should've done was boot to recovery (which couldn't be corrupted by the OS!) and dirty flash either a working kernel or the original (stock) ROM that includes the kernel.
Anyway, glad you retained all your data! Thanks for updating the title and OP with a solved tag
