So to answer the first question, yes I followed the stickied guide up top, and yes, it successfully flashed the bootloader, wiped all data, and flashed stock ROM all to success. It appears my case is unique. I was told that it could be the battery connection, so I've done no fewer than half a dozen times of taking the back off, resetting the battery connection, and closing back up. It does not appear to be the battery.
I am stuck on the fastboot screen, the one where the android is lying down and blue squares project from an body. It shows me the controls I can make with the volume switches and the selection choice of 'Start'... but I cannot do anything. Before I went to flash I could move through the selection with Vol Up ONLY, but now I cannot even do that. Here's all the mode says:
Code:
FASTBOOT MODE
product name - grouper
variant - grouper
hw version - er3
bootloader version - 4.23
baseband version - n/a
serial number - ###############
signing - not defined yet
LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED
I've pretty spent the past twenty four hours on google searching through all the threads I've seen. They are either all dead, or most of them found the sticky fixed their problem. Has anyone heard of it coming to this?! All I can do is access fastbook VIA a DOS prompt and do fastboot commands, and if I disconnect the tablet from my PC, it'll remain in this mode with the screen on until the battery dies. Charging appears to charge the tablet, but again, no controls work. And yes, the buttons were set properly when I closed my tablet.
Anyone?
1) what is it exactly that your trying to do?
2) can u boot into the OS?
3) your recovery may be corrupt re-flash the recovery via fastboot

I'm just trying to boot up! I don't know what happened, but I haven't been able to use it for school all week!
I cannot boot into the OS. Any time I plug this device in it sends me to the fastboot screen with no controls.
OK I just flashed CWMR 6.0.4.3 and it did not fix the problem.
Any other ideas?
I just repeated all the steps again to see if any of them failed before, they have not worked. So recap:
Stuck in fastboot mode
Android will not boot
Loose battery connection is not the problem
I am able to access fastboot on my computer
I have followed everything from the sticky (wipe everything, flash bootloader, flash image)
I have flashed a new recovery
I am still stuck in fastboot
I cannot control options in fastboot with the volume and power buttons
I can only access fastboot by charging my tablet
The only way the tablet will power down is when it completely depletes it's battery
As far as I can tell, nothing was wrong with the tablet when it was functioning
This happened when I went to charge my tablet, presumably when the battery ran flat running android
If I charge too long the tablet gets fairly hot.
That's about all the information I can provide. Is there anything else I can try? Please, I need a tablet for school and I cannot afford a new one!
So the title pretty much says it all. My battery is low so I cannot flash anything, and the Japanese version of this phone doesnt have a fastboot "menu" as far as I can see.
As soon as the screen comes on this is what is shown
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AP Fasboot Flash Mode(S)
10.9B(#) (sha057e56b, 2012-11-14 14:18:59)
eMMC Info: Size 8GB
Device is UNLOCKED, Status Code:3
Battery Low
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
Fastboot Reason: Sticky bit factory_reset
usb connected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I found that keeping the power button depressed keeps it from going into fastboot and it appears that the phone is off, but the LED light stays green and even after 8 hours hasnt charged a bit.,,, so that was obviously a fail.
Can anyone give me some tips?
Thanks in advance
last night i got the notification to say that i was able to update to 7.0 and i was so excited that i kinda forgot about xposed and stuff and now
the phone is completely useless it wont turn on it just does nothing, when its charging the white light flashes but still nothing Please help
Can you connect your phone to a computer and see if adb/fastboot still senses your device, or whether your device still shows up (or reports as a Qualcomm HS-USB)?

nope not seeing it
Hmm, so you're not getting anything showing up in Device Manager (like in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/help-xt1642-hard-bricked-help-t3498943 )?
I am not familiar with the procedure of how to unbrick a device like this, vache has uploaded a blank flash file (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70701015&postcount=1975), I hope someone else can guide you on the procedure to unbrick your phone if you need such a file.
Sounds crazy, but push the power button for 2-3 minutes.... Dont know why, but worked for me in the past.

thankyou it worked perfectly
The same here after update!
I have a Moto G4 Plus, Product: athene_16mp XT1644 64GB P2A
Since last update (Nouga) my phone doesn't pass the bootloader screen. Connected to my PC, only fastboot commands works as adb don't see it. The recovery mode is dead, every time I try to enter it says:
Failed to validate recovery image. Error: Failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot. Boot up failed.
I searched the forum to find the original rom image but as I didn't Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android Settings > Developer, I can't install any image from there.
Any help?

If fastboot still works, perhaps try this fastboot Nougat image, see if that'll flash? https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/android-7-0-install-nougat-official-t3531612
It requires you booting into bootloader (so power down your device, wait 5 seconds then hold the volume down and power button, should then boot into bootloader), so it might flash a working recovery and system onto your device.

I believe there are two possible reasons...
Either 2-3 minutes forces a fully hard reset.
Or
If you have a really really flat battery sometimes as it charges and then boots up it gets stuck in repeated reboot since effort to boot drains more than it can charge in that time, so holding power button holds boot sequence long enough for battery to gain enough charge to allow boot to work..
Both are just my opinions so might be completely wrong
I think it's Option no1, because in my case the battery was nearly full charged.
Nevertheless... One guy happy to have helped, the other guy happy to have reanimated his phone:laugh:
Hi!
Last friday my Moto G4 XT1621 get the last nougat update. I started the update without any problem, but when it finished, my phone didn't boot again.
Now the phone only boots on fastboot, I can't enable the developer options and I don't know how to recover my new phone.
Please, help me! I don't know about Android and this things!
Some pics of my phone.

I'm having bad luck. My G4 bike apparently ran out of battery because it does not turn on and the white led flashes 4 times and goes off. I connected the original charger but it still does not turn on. If I connect it to the computer, it recognizes it as fastboot mode but nothing appears on the phone display.
I think the battery has completley drain to 0% Try to just leave the phone plugged into the charger for at least 10/15 mins then try holding power for 30 seconds. If it turns on, and you boot it into fastboot when you connect the phone to the pc start the command prompt and type adb devices if it shows a device connected then try to flash the rom. If it doesnt flash then Im not sure what the problem is its either a hardware error or the battery charger have you tried a different charger plug/wire. Could also try to Press and hold the Volume Up and Power button for 10-20 seconds whilst the phone is plugged into the charger?
No, the battery is okay. Last night I left the phone off to continue today and this morning appeared so. I supposed it was that the battery had run out, but I just checked it with a tester and it's charged. Since last night until today not install or probe anything, I had hopes of doing the tests that you told me today, but the phone is worse than before. When I connect the phone to the pc, the "safely remove hardware" system tray appears as "Eject fastboot S".
So did you try typing adb devices in command prompt when you plugged it into the pc

No, I didn't. My G4 is totally dead and when I plug it to the charger, a white led starts blinking. I let the phone charging about a day, but nothing changes.
If I connect the phone to my PC, nothing happen, It don't recognice the phone.
Really I never again buy back a motorola again.
How long you had the phone it may still be under warranty?

The phone was bought in October in the USA, but now it is in Argentina. I have no warranty here, I would have to try to take it to the technical service.
If you have proof of purchase (receipt) it may be covered under manufacturers waranty as its usually 12months from the date of purchase, i would contact motorola to see if they can do anything for you. Best of luck.
same issue
Did you find the solution for that
Hey guys i really need your help, i decided to unlock the bootloader of my phone, and so i did without any issue, the phone opened and worked completly, so i wanted to relock it and so i did also without any issue, but i wanted root again so i tried to unlock it again with the same Code with the official unlocking way, but this time the phone have been stuck and red led notification blinking everytime i put in on computer.
If i plug off the power source and try to open the device the red light blink very fast and there is a charging symbol on the screen but then dissapers instantly and nothing the phone turning off.
I cannot enter on recovery or dload, anyone knows what to do? The PC cant recognize the phone if i plug it.
Here some video to check the issue, please turn on the subtitles because im speaking Greek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTkx0ifNhg4

Huawei is one of the worst companies i ever saw! Their phones are so easy to brick and they can't be fixed!
Wait until the battery drained and phone shutdown, connect charger again and wait for 5 minutes , it will turn on in erecovery , shutdown and redo fastboot etc carefully.

Dissconnect the usb cable and hold the power button. When it is just about to reboot, plug in the USB and hold the volume down button. This should take you to fastboot OR to error mode...
-------
Huawei devices aren't easy to brick, but recovering the devices is a pain... I hard bricked my device as well a couple weeks ago..
I have tried to wait for the battery drained completly and if you plug the usb while the phone is off the phone is powering on automatically and stays to the "Your Device has been unlocked"
Also with the same method before i plug in the usb i was trying to hold the volume down button and plug it in but it didnt happend it is booting on the same thing.

pls clear actual screen position of ur fone, unlock screen titled as fastboot and rescue or yellow text with black background.
chances are there u get fastboot connection by turning off mobile by power button hold for 7 seconds and phone turned off wait for a while ensure no USB cable connected to phone. then press volume down button and conect USB cable, you will see fast boot and rescue screen. now issue command fastboot devices. if u see ur devices serial number there then follow further fasboot procedure mentioned in other threads,
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system.img
above files may be obtained by extracting update.app for ur phone stock image by huawei extractor. you have to work for 2 days constantly for unbricking phone. I have gone through all these processes last week.

Hi, I have a similar problem: "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted". I cannot enter fastboot nor with the two buttons method (power + volume down) or the three buttons method. I messed up with the EMUI, I guess. Infact, I unlocked the bootloader, relocked it and tried to unlock it again to flash a custom ROM. The first time I unlocked the bootloader, I tried to install TWRP but something went bad, I do not remember what, but I decided to relock.
Now I am stuck with this message. But....sometimes, I can't understand WHEN, I can enter my phone Last time it was when I tried the above solution (only volume down and usb cable, without the Power button). When the phone turned on, HiSuite recognized "a phone" was connected because the software turned on, but it couldn't really see it. I went into the Developer Options on the phone to turn on OEM, but it was grey and I could do nothing :crying:
Full of hope because the phone turned on, I then tried to flash the content of the SD Card (where I put files extracted with the Huawei Update Extractor) by holding the three buttons (power + volume up + volume down), but again it appeared the "your device has been unlocked" message.
Now the phone is off. Once, in the meantime, it appeared a red flash on the screen for one second, I am not sure it is related to the battery, it doesn't display a battery but only a flash.
I cannot enter fastboot in any way, I cannot flash from SD card, sure I cannot rollback because it implies flashing.
My only hope is some command to be given when I can enter the phone. Anyway, I sent it to repair (not official, I have obviously no guarantee anymore) and they sent it back to me: they didn't know what to do.
Any idea? Thanks a lot!
PS: I will read your replies as soon as I can but I have very variable ad unstable working hours!

I think the red light blinks cause you are critically low on power. Leave it plugged in. Ignore whats on the screen just leave it plugged in for a few hours and leave it alone.

Same here with a BLN-L21 (Honor 6x)
The phone will not charge with this method. Try to let it plug one night, and no charge !
@Meticulus this was the question felix ask you: is uboot (booting with sdcard) is possible ?
Fixed for me with buy an honor 9 ... but investigate to revive my honor 6x.
For now i have maybe found how to shutdown phone, to charge battery (with shurtcut two point in motherboard) but don't know if phone charge for the moment because there is no light
Solution for the moment but difficult AND / OR expensive ....
1. Remove emmc and repair it with a JTAG box.
2. Try to boot with uboot (but probably won't work)

Hello, can ask you some question about how you have hardbricked this phone ?
My honor 6x is same bricked, and red light too. So the big question is THE FIRSTIME BRICK = phone was FREEZE can't reboot and can't do nothing. I have wait for empty battery, and now dload and all is not working ?
I will try to charge my battery out of phone. For me it's like the phone never charge ... but i will try with a charged battery and plug unplug battery connector. It's like red screen low battery change boot mode ...

Its not actually mine and it was long time ago, but the owner told me that he unlocked bootloader with the official way, relocked, and then he unlocked again the third time the phone died.
Hello.
me too, he does not want to do anything anymore.
he only knows this '' your device is booting now '' screen with the red LED flashing.
whatever I do, it always starts on this screen. I think you have to change the motherboard.
Do you know where to find it at a reasonable price?

I fixed mine today. I just had to wait for 5 hours for the battery to drain. then when it shuts off i waited 10 min. after that i started the phone and i let me choose to continue to the phone.
I dunno if you have the exact same problem but thats how i fixed mine.
And after that i tried factory resetting (cause bluetooth and NFC didn't work) but then it got stuck again. so i waited it out and it worked once again.
Too scared to do anything to my phone now :/

Stop buying huawei phones if you are into custom roms or root. They made the phone easily brickable and they removed the bootloader unlock site due to some stores installing malware into phones. But hey, they couldn't simply do what Xiaomi is doing eh?
