Hi everyone!
I'm looking for a good device but is bad moment for my economy.
I'm thinking buy a 2 moto g4, one with broken screen and other with mother board failure. I've changed some screens and other parts.
However I can buy a g4 plus with a bootloop and I don't know if all bootloop failures are recoverable through adb/fastboot or other specific tools for Motorola.
Definitely, all bootloops are recoverable via software?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, no.
If the bootloop is software related of course you'll can solve it by flashing the stock full factory image via fastboot, but if it is not the case could be hardware related (fried eMMC the most common cause on a mobile device or a bad welding between CPU and the PCB).

The YouTube channel you linked to is called "Android Doctor" and your profile biography says "Im the Android Doctor" so it's obviously your own Youtube channel. There's nothing wrong with linking to your videos (unless it's against XDA ToS I guess) so why lie about it?

Your warranty is already lost, it's like trying to be virgin again. You can relock the bootloader, but you can't revalidate your guarantee.

Only the message for only cosmetic purposes? You need a modified boot animation. So far is not available for the G5. Only for the G5+.
But the device still will be out of warranty.
The warranty is lost in the very momento that your ask for the unlock code in the Moto website, even if you don't make use of it to unlock your device.

Yes, only for cosmetic. Tks

Great Tutorials
having never flashed an Android phone before i,ve watched your videos one at a time ,then viewed again until I felt confident in my knowledge and then with careful slow steps pausing your tutorials as I went ,I can report a total success on rooting my G5 ,removing the bootloader warning ,installing substratum themes aswell as your steps for tweaking .
I just wanted to pass on my gratitude and thanks for your advice , It is easy if you are patient and absorb all info given .
greet videos i tried all on my device and fully rotted with cust recov
big thanks
i got rooted my g5 but due to some reason i had to give service center and they replaced the twrp recovery to their stock
so i want twrp (phone is still unlocked but when i tried normal method it doer not detect my phone) back can you guide me
Hey guys in my case, I bricked my phone and it was not able to boot. Because I flashed the poly os Oreo zip file from sorceforge.net which is under development. But when I went to the service center, I told them that my phone was not booting, they didn't ask me anything and said we will check and let you know. After one hour they told me your handset is dead. They replaced the motherboard free of cost. I don't know how this is possible, because I unlocked the bootloader' and flashed the twrp.

They probably couldn't even identify the reason you had the phone not booting. I also think it's improbable here in my country they will check if your phone was unlocked or not unless your phone is booting for them to see. In other words if the phone doesn't boot at all and if it doesn't show any sign when connected to USB or whatever methods they have to see if your phone is booting, they will replace it.
I'm pretty sure however, that motorola keeps records of the phones which required the unlock code, and I doubt very much that in the United States they would not check it.
Hi there,
I'm experiencing problems with Android 7.1 and TWRP...more precisely I can't boot any backup of android 7.1.
It seems to restore but it always gets stuck in a bootloop at the Lenovo logo.
There isn't a problem with Android L - backups work and boot.
Can anyone confirm this behaviour??? (or maybe has got some further information or hints about it)
thanks
The same problem. I thought it is my local trouble.
It was the same for me. I had to reset tab to original state and, so that rooting didn't worked properly for me, and neither did nandroid restoring, I didn't even unlock bootloader this time....

how can you run twrp with locked bootloader???
so here's what you can do instead...
it's still possibe to restore 'data' - so one needs to go back to android 6 (via full rom or older backup).
update to android 7.1
restore data.
I'm not using it anymore, since it was not working. So, by now I've decided to use this tab "as it is". Winch is not bad at all, BTW.
But not a device to experiment with, definitely.

Hi, I have a huge problem with my phone.
Recently I flashed the stock ROM in version 6.0 for my moto g4 play and I tried to do the updates. during the second update, my phone went out and this is the hard brick I was running on Android 7.1 before so I think there's an incompatibility beetween the bootloader and the OS, that's why my device is bricked
Using Blank Flash I was able to start my phone in fastboot mode. But this process locked my bootloader.
atm I am in fastboot mode with a locked bootloader and USB debug not activated, what can I do ? I can't flash anything...
Thanks
please I'm desperate. Is there nothing to do ?
Hey I was on the same boat, my moto G4 play was out of warranty and with just ₹300 they fixed the software. If you are from Kolkata then visit the Chadni service center, the guys are really helpful and cooperative. Now this moto G4 boots and works. That blank file that you flashed from the other thread is not correct for XT1602. I learnt this from the service center. Just take it to the service center and they will fix it up for you.

They say that they have to change some pieces of the phone whereas it's just a firmware problem, to make me pay more... At that price, I'd better buy a new phone !
Really, is there a way to re-unlock bootloader without using developers options ? or is there a way to flash a ROM without an unlocked bootloader ? Thanks
I read that it's possible to force device to go in edl mode and then flash the ROM, but I don't know how to go to this mode with this phone .
Thanks
I tried a few but was not able to.

There are tons of tutorials on how to do it. Need to enable camera 2 api. Which in order to do so you have to unlock boot loader, enable it, then lock boot loader. Most likely wiping your device in the process. Once that is done then when you install the apk it will no longer crash.

As I mentioned there are tons of tutorials through it forum. All you need to do is search. There are newer ones than the one I used and possibly better ones, I don't know for sure.
these are the steps I followed back when i was still on Oreo. Im not sure if there is a better option now but its the one i chose and it worked:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-enable-camera2api-eis-t3749541
My device was wiped in the process so prepare for that.
I have had several monthly updates and the Pie update followed by monthly updates to Mar19 on Pie.
So yes updates still work and my API remains enabled.

That means I need to backup my data before I unlock the bootloader?
Unlock bootloader cause data loss?
It can. There is a way somewhere in the instructions with pressing a key combo that supposedly doesn't wipe. But didn't work for me. So just be prepared.

You are unlocking and then relocking
There is always a risk doing any of these mods of bricking your phone.

One last thing. How to relock the bootloader after unlocking it?
All POCO M3 faults are only software and not hardware, but mostly user errors when updating, when they are impatient, no motherboard heating is needed, we only destroy it, but I don't even have to buy and waste money on expensive repairs, I had a phone incorrect installation of the system in bootlope, I had to open it, short the two EDL points to get to EDL mode and install via Flash tool using POCO M3 Engineering ROM.
I fixed two phones right away.

Engineer rom is a simple android, but you can use it to get where you want to go, for example to fastboot.
