Sorry bad english. I have a Motorola X Style XT1572 Brazil, I rooted it once and now I am back to stock rom and it always go to bootloader screen and I dont know how to get off it.
Plus it had update to software but when it tried to update it goes to 12% and reboot to bootloader, back to 0% again and repeating about 5x and got a error that cannot update. I downloaded here the 6.0 marshmallow Latin America DS stock rom, also have the warning back everytime of unlocked bootloader.
Thx for attention and helping =)
Run "fastboot oem fb_mode_clear" using Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Linux/OS X) then reboot the phone.

I will try that. That will remove the bootloader screen right?
How do I remove the warning of unlocked bootloader too?
Thx for the attention, =)

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear takes the bootloader out of fastboot flashing mode, turning it on is the first step in flashing a stock ROM, but sometimes it seems to just happen... This will cause the bootloader NOT to pop-up on reboot/startup.
The bootloader unlocked screen will ALWAYS be there, forever, including the delay and vibration... You can hide it with a custom logo screen or the stock, patched logo image (look around, it's posted here)
Note you will never be able to hide the fact the bootloader was unlocked, if anyone who knows anything just starts the bootloader it will show a Status of 2, meaning relocked. That is NOT possible to be changed or hidden, and it cannot go back to a 0 (locked). Fastboot getvar all will always show the truth too.

Did you look at any of the other half-dozen Q&A threads on the exact same issue here, and dozens on similar Moto devices?
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Will take care of it... BTW, this is an indication you flashed stock and didn't follow all the steps properly.

Thank you for solving my problem, and sorry for not using search tool, I forgot about that.
Actually yes I returned to stock after serveral times of trying to flash official Flyme but even after I managed to flash the ROM it was still booting fastboot.
thank you again.
Hello,
My wife's 6P is stuck in a bootloop. Here's what I've tried so far:
adb devices -> no result
fastboot devices -> device info is displayed
Any other fastboot command -> "FAILED (command write failed(No error))"
I unlocked her bootloader when we got the phone, but I can't flash anything. I just keep getting that error.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.
Did you update ADB and fastboot ?

Yep, I'm able to see my 6P and N7 2012 via ADB, just my wife's 6P that I can't seem to get to work.
Not sure what happened, but I am now able to execute fastboot commands without getting that error. So now I'm waiting for the battery to die down enough to be able to boot recovery per this post. Hopefully this will fix it.

What happens if you put a working twrp.img into your fastboot folder and try to boot it without flashing.

Yes, actually the thing with the freezer i never heard that before, but if i remember right someone uses heat to make the phone bootable for a short time. May you carefully try this
with a hairdryer ??? And then try the 4 core modified boot.img

ok, I can give this a try today after work and report back... thanks
The freezer trick did not work. But what helped me was to let the phones battery run out then plug it into the charger and let it boot loop for about 20 mins or so. The phone should boot at that point. I'm thinking the phone has to at least have a minimal charge to boot. Once the phone boots take it off the charger and make sure that "usb debugging" is on as well as allow "oem unlock" option. Once those settings are set go back to fast boot and attempt to flash the four core fix. It really works ????. If you leave the charger on it will go back to boot looping after it reaches 10 percent or so. Hope this helps.

My bootloader is already unlocked, but I can't flash or boot the four core fix.
I know this question sounds redundant, but does your phone show your bootloader to be unlocked? Seems quite strange that it would not run the fastboot commands. What is the command that you are typing in to install the four core fix.

no worries, I appreciate the attention/suggestions this thread is getting.... yeah, the bootloader is showing as unlocked. Also as of post #4, I am able to execute all fastboot commands now... I'm not 100% sure why it started working.
Always glad to help. Have you been able to fix the phone?
Sorry to disturb you, after I unlocked my device, I tried to flash both normal fix and 4 -core fix img > flash TWRP recovery, but I still cannot get into recovery mode, is my procedure wrong?
1) Flash 4 core fix boot img.
2) Flash TWRP recovery.
3) Boot to recovery.
4) Bootloop.
Thank you.

No, but our Pixel 2's just showed up, so this isn't as urgent for me as it originally was. I'm hoping I can still get her old Nexus 6P and use it as our home phone with Google Voice. But, first I have to get this fix to work...
I'm able to flash the modified boot images without any errors, but I still can't get it to boot... I'm thinking it might be because my wife had to keep her phone 3-6 months behind the most current factory image (due to a poorly supported app she HAS to have for work) so I'm thinking the boot images on this thread won't work for her phone because he's on an older factory image. Am I correct in thinking this might be the problem?
I've requested that the OP of that thread either created modified boot images for the older versions of the factory images or explain how he made them so I can try to make them myself. Hopefully he's able to help me out.
Hopefully someone can help me out here. I have been trying to root my phone, and everything goes fine but for some odd reason as soon as I relock the bootloader the phone wont boot anymore, I just get stuck at the boot screen indefinitely and have to revert to stock. I went through this process several times with the same issue, and unfortunately I got frustrated and started messing around. Not thinking I went into developer options and uncheck "allow OEM unlock," and forgot about it and rebooted. Now I can't get the phone to boot, but I can't flash unlock either. It will not boot into TWRP for some unknown reason as well, so at this point I don't see how I am going to fix this.
Even better, I just got the phone today...

Do not try to lock the BL if you are not completely stock.
If you have TWRP or anything like Magisk installed do not lock the BL.
If something goes wrong, you have a brick.
only lock the BL if you are completely stock.

Man, I could have sworn it was not recommended to leave the bootloader unlocked. Not exactly the answer I wanted to hear unfortunately. Any idea why it won't boot just because I relocked the bootloader? It just seems like an odd thing to cause a boot loop, and it did it 3 separate times

If your PC can recognize adb fastboot then just get the stock zip file from "back to stock" section here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3701681
I messed up too and back to stock was my only way.
Make sure under bootloader, if you type fastboot devices and is waiting for device, use
fastboot devices -i 0x2e17
If the PC recognize your device then, you can save from your bootloop

I would do this, but I had unchecked "allow OEM unlock" when I booted up earlier. I cannot unlock the bootloader now from fastboot, and I can't flash back to stock because my bootloader is locked. I am pretty sure I am screwed at this point

Try holding volume up and down right after essential logo and see if you can get into safe mode. Worth a shot.

try reinstalling TWRP and flash LOS again, I think once you flash a different software the OEM UNLOCKING switch are not highlighted anymore(what I mean is you can't turn it off), if you can do fastboot, try doing fastboot -w and wait till it reboots.

Check any forum of a phone with an unlockable bootloader. You never ever relock the bootloader unless you are 100% completely stock. Once relocked with modified software there is nothing you can do to get it to boot.
Your only hope might be a deep flash cable and qpst if you can figure out how to use it.

Yeah it just continues to boot as normal, and then of course goes into the boot loop.
I cannot reflash twrp or any other room. Attempting to flash anything fails with the error cannot flash while locked. Same with using -w
Did you try the fastboot unlock command?

Just saw your post. Wonderful. Might be a good sticky on xda, I didn't see this on Reddit. Anyone want to buy a really expensive shiny brick?!
Anyone get bricked from the last update (I assume January/December security updates). I tried to update my phone yesterday 1/7/2018. My phone basically downloaded everything, told me to restart, loaded into the bootloader 3 times - after i selected normal Boot, and then stopped and charging.
Pretty glad that I had 2 phones.. because I have a video of it bricking in front of my eyes. not sure if I can post links yet.
Any help would be reallly appreciated as I haven't modified anything on it...

after it ran out of battery.

The screen won't turn on or off. It's like the power button's broken even though it's still pressable. It should have battery though because I've been trying to turn it on with it plugged in.

You will need to side load the OTA.
You cannot unlock the boot loader unless you check OEM unlock in the developer menu.
Or, at least I have not seen it done.

OEM unlocking is ticked off. That's the issue. I've seen in some videos or posts like Chris Paton. Advising to relocate the bootloader after sideloading the beta OTA's... I followed it and now I'm in a soup.
