Soft bricked after OTA update - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have received OTA update for my MotoXPlay, phone has restarted, a black screen with android logo was shown with small blue progressbar.
After that phone has rebooted and now it loops in that state - I mean, I can see a motorola splash screen then phone is resetting and again and again...
I have locked device (no root, no custom room etc). I can access to the bootloader menu.
Any suggestions?

version info?

[Q] New method for softbricking

I am one of the many Droid Pro users that did not receive the Gingerbread update before Verizon pulled the OTA update. I decided tonight that I would try to update with an update.zip file using the recovery method. The install appeared to be going well right up until the end. At around 90% or so the update failed and abandoned the update, I selected to restore the original firmware and restarted the phone. The phone restarted and this time the Motorola icon had changed from the normal white icon to a red icon, I'm assuming that something changed. The phone then went black, power still applied to the screen but just black. I could hear the phone starting up as it made its characteristic DROID noise and the keyboard and screen buttons illuminated, however nothing shows up on the screen, it still remains black.
I have tried numerous methods to reset or restore but I am unable to get anything to display on the screen other than the red icon as the device powers up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
should flash the stock firmware.

XT1564 unable to reboot properly for OTA

I have a stock moto x play whose hardware sku is XT1564. It's on android ver 5.1.1 and system version is 23.21.25.lux_lra.en.US
I have not performed any soft mods or alterations, be it root or bl unlocking.
The only thing that I would think is different than normal is that the phone is encrypted, so it asks for password whenever it boots up.
I got a notification to update to 24.74.5.en.US a few days ago and decided to try doing it today.
It downloads the update fine and when I press on the notification for it to start the update process where it says it needs to perform a reboot to update it goes into a "phone will reboot in 10 seconds" screen and when countdown finished it shows the "shutting down..." popup that appreas when you try to shutdown the phone.
Then the phone stays with that popup until it finally shutsdown like 4 minutes later on what appears to be a hard shutdown because it doesn't reboot. I have to manually power it on and then the phone starts up normally asks me for my password and about a minute after android fully loads the phone tries to shutdown again without any input. And then it just keeps doing that until I boot the phone into fastboot and try to get it to bootloader, where it shows the dead android logo with a red yield sign and promptly shutsdown. Then when I start the phone normally it shows an "update unsuccessful" screen.
Anyone have any idea what might be the problem?
I've been thinking it might be the encryption but IDK. Also I've checked the thread with the firmware versions and couldn't find mine there. Is there a way I could dump mine for backup in case I **** something up trying to get OTA to work.(without unlocking bootloader and rooting, of course)
Now the update has stopped appearing and I can't get it to recognize there being an update for this device.
Fudge!

Verizon Galaxy S7 only booting to a white "Verizon" screen

My wife's S7 is only booting to the verizon logo (with the little colored circles moving below). Long story short:
1) I was trying to back up her pictures to my PC and all of them disappeared from her phone when I drug them to my PC (6 months of pics). Not sure how that happened.
2) In my panic, I downloaded an application called DR. Fone which professed to be able to get the pics back.
3) After installing the app and connecting the phone, I started the recovery process, which rebooted the phone to a "downloading" screen and then booted to the Verizon logo I have been trapped on ever since.
I have tried powering off, rebooting, clearing the cache from recovery to no avail. I have a feeling that this app altered the bootloader or firmware and now I'm stuck.
Booting into recovery ends up with a "No Command" error. I can get into the Android Recovery menu from there ... but I don't want to wipe it just yet.
Any ideas what could be keeping me stuck on that screen?
Pleeeeaaaaasseee help!
Install this rom, connect to your computer with the verizon upgrade assistant running after the rom is installed. The verizon upgrade assistant should see the phone and you can update it from there.

My LG G6 is in a secure screen loop.

So today i bought my LG G6.
There was a software update (i thing Oreo update) i installed it and when i got to the secure screen on the boot.
I type my PIN ,which was valid and my phone now is stuck on the secure loading screen.
At first i thought it was just going to take some time but after 25 minutes of waiting this started to worry me.
The phone is still on loop and when i use the Power Button and the Vol down the phone restarts but the same thing happens.
I tried everything from restarting it , to hard resetting (which doesn't want to work, the bootloader menu doesn't even show up with all the steps completed correctly) to throwing it on the ground.
(PHONE IS NOT ROOTED)
EDIT:I MANAGED TO SOLVE THE ISSUE BUT NOW IM STUCK AT THE PROVIDERS SCREEN WHICH IS (TIM) AND I CANNOT DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN SOFT RESTART
Regards,
Try put the phone into download mode and use LG bridge to reflash stock [Use the "Update error recovery" to reflash]

Stuck in splash screen while booting after installing newest weekly update

Earlier this morning i installed the weekly LineageOS update and upon rebooting the phone to install the update, the phone didnt fully boot back up. It is currently just showing the splash screen and wont boot into the device. Is there anything I can do to see if I can rescue this phone without factory resetting the phone?
Thanks,
