Moto G4 always starts in Fastboot Mode - Moto G4 Questions & Answers

Hello. I am in desperate need of help. My moto G4 always starts on fastboot mode. It does work wen I press start but I don't want it starting on fastboot. I recently gained the problem of battery draining and I'm supposed to recalibrate the battery by letting the phone turn off and putting it to charge all night while is off but I dont think it'll work if it is on fastboot all night. Please help D:

Secure boot is enabled on all Nexus 4's, and you cannot disable it. By the way, Secure boot has nothing to do with the lock state of the bootloader -- it has to do with the secure boot chain of the AQP8064 chipset.
Unlock the booloader using "fastboot oem unlock" and then flash the factory images. See here.
If simply flashing factory images, an unlock should not be necessary. Is customer wanting you to try and preserve data?

Thanks for the answer but the wierd problem is that after I unlock the bootloader and try to flash any thing I get":
sending 'bootloader' (2188 KB)... FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and after I reboot it shows that the bootloader is locked
I managed to boot into twrp recovery but no screen by "fastboot boot recovery.img" and I get adb access.
ant thing I can do from here ?

You are seeing a black screen because you are not using the correct command. It should be: fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot recovery.img

cwm can sideload but wipe will give errors (cant mount) and after reboot the bootloader is locked againg and wont boot.
stock just reboots.
can it be HW ? or any other solution ?

Two options before we decide it's hardware.
Procedure #1:
1) Download the LATEST version of fastboot.exe from here and extract it to C:\android.
2) Download the latest factory image from Google's dev page and verify the checksum with what is posted on the website.
3) Extract all the images from all the .tgz, .tar, .zip files within and put the 6 image files in C:\android
4) Reboot your device into the bootloader and plug into your PC.
5) Open a command prompt in that same directory and type the following commands:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fasltboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz20i.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Does that work? If so then continue with flashing the radio, boot, system and recovery images. If not, then go to procedure number 2:
Procedure #2
Follow the instructions in this thread.

any solution to this problem ?
You can try to copy a valid ROM to your SD Card (the file named UPDATE.APP must be stored in a folder named "dload") and to start the phone by pressing Vol+, Vol- and Power simultaneously.
If that does not help, you could still "revive" the phone with DC Phoenix: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/DC-Phoenix-flash-repair-tutorial
The cost is 15 EUR/USD
same issue - VNS-L21C02B128
Hi guys, I ran into the same thing. Please let me know if someone of you manage to get out of the black screen.
I tried also debrand and then write a probably wrong oeminfo and then flashed the firmware for that oeminfo and now it's like dead, only fastboot reachable.
Please share any ideas... I don't want to get to DC-Phoenix or similar.
Thanks!
Sometimes in fastboot say the OEM it's unlocked, but that it's wrong, when you flash a OEM Info, or flash a update.app, OEM gets locked, no matter if fastboot say something else, try unlock your bootloader

Need help with vs995 ! NO FASTBOOT/inaccessible/Not working

Just got my vs995 with 14B. I've tried to access the fastboot to flash twrp with adb fastboot, but fastboot wasn't accessible.
I've tried to downgrade from 14B to 12A using LG UP and successfully done, but the fastboot still inaccessible neither through "adb reboot bootloader" nor "Holding Volume down key and attaching a usb cable" !!
Any suggestion ?
I'm in a real need to root my vs995.
Fastboot was removed. You need to root your phone with dirtysanta. You will then have an engineering aboot that has full fastboot commands...

Can you direct me to the proper link ? Because the link I know uses fastboot !!
There is no fastboot on this phone. Phone has to have unlocked bootloader to get fastboot.
Search dirtysanta root.
it unlocks bootloader and enables fastboot.

Hi, @damond share your mobile device model (is it shark 2 pro or shark) also let me know if these commands are working in your fastboot mode, fastboot devices
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot recovery (this will lead you to phone recovery mode try formatting through this, it works always) if it doesn't, confirm.
Also, share the your device origin (like it was on global rom or CN rom) and if bootloader is unlocked or not.
If required, will create a fastboot rom for your device.
Thanks

You ran twice same commands. One time it was successful and the other time it failed can you share the error.
Also, try this command (just copy paste it)
Fastboot devices
Fastboot reboot recovery.
Then try wiping out the phone.
C:\adb>Fastboot reboot recovery.
fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target recovery.
C:\adb>Fastboot reboot recovery
Rebooting into recovery OKAY [ 0.000s]
Finished. Total time: 0.000s
C:\adb>
But the phone does not enter recovery mode, it goes black and then black shark logo, it looks like there is no recovery partition.
Cool, give me a day or two, will create and share the fastboot rom to flash.

Once done, enjoy your phone

Need help to root

hi, I'm trying to root my p9 lite to use it to run a 3d printing server ( https://github.com/d4rk50ul1/klipper-on-android )
I tried some rooting apps but it was unsuccesful.
after researching I used potatoNV to change the bootloader code
and SKR Tools to unlock bootloader and install twrp but i couldn't acces twrp via the phone. i locked back the bootloader with skr tools and now i can't get back to android, the phone is stuck on the " your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. your device is booting now... " page, i left it like this for the nignt and it's not booting. I can't turn it off, My pc is not seeing it when pluged and I unpluged the battery for ten minutes but it's doing the same after replugging it .
what can i do to repair, root and use it ?

you can relock bootloader only on clean stock firmware. If you did this on a modded system (TWRP installed etc.) you probably bricked the phone.

A. Try your luck with testpoint & board software (check unfamiliar terminology by google or xda.
The instructions do not perform, if you do not know what you're doing.)
B. Use "DC-Phoenix" (paid service) .

Maybe it's brick when you try to relock but it's still bootloader unlocked Don't worry
You can fix it with 4 method
1. Flashing with board firmware
2.fastboot flashing method
3.sd card upgrade method
4.usb upgrade method

to check that the connection to the computer in fastboot mode is established normally, type the command
fastboot devices
,the serial number of the phone should be displayed.
If not, you're not in fastboot mode.
