hard brick - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

I was using stock rom with stock recovery. After performing an update device got hard brick. Now the device isn't booting up. Not even in fastboot mode.
I have performed basic troubleshooting like pressing power button to 5mnts, charging the device etc..
Have anyone any idea what to do now?

Stuck on google logo

Hey guys
i just wiped all my data and tried to reboot my nexus, but now it's been stuck on the google logo for ages...
trying to flash to stock + unroot with nexus toolkit doesn't work, any way to unbrick it?
please help...
do you have fastboot driver installed?
Step 1: Power down your Nexus 4 (hold the power button until it shuts off) before rebooting into fastboot mode. You can do this by holding down the the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously.
Step 2: Connect your device to your computer. Open up a terminal or command prompt, and navigate to the folder containing the fastboot program.
Step 3: Type fastboot devices into the command line, and you should then see your device’s ID, which means fastboot is setup correctly.
now go back to Nexus 4 toolkit. Flash back to stock.

reflash your rom. reboot your device, hold volune down before it reboots to get into the bootloader then recovery.

Thanks simms, i managed to get into fast boot between the reboots, and I flashed the rom and gapps.
Damn it scared me even more then the red light issue that happened to me last month.

not booting after flashing something or modding something is the easiest of all to fix, just reflash the rom(gapps and kernel too if need be), no need to wipe anything. since i test all the trinity kernels before any get released, and pre-kernels, i get many that dont boot my device or bootloop(among some other funky behaviors), reflashing a good kernel always works
I left my phone for a few minutes, and when I picked it up it was bootlooped again, and i had to use fastboot again. What should I do now? Maybe a factory reset would help me. I don't want more unexpected bootloops. :/

Try another rom. You might have downloaded corrupted zips. Also, make sure you flash the things you need first. Eg, flash rom and gapps. Don't restore anything if you're using titanium backup. Try restarting the phone, see if it gets into a bootloop. If it doesn't, then try restoring apps from TB. (if you use TB.)
Hi!
I´ve got a big problem. Today i flashed the new PA version, but it seems that the download had some issue. I could install it but after a while, I wanted to reboot the phone and it got stuck at the Google logo. I can only access fastboot mode and recovery.
So the problem is, i made a full wipe, so i have no rom on the sdcard anymore. Also I am now able to enable the debbuging mode. I tried every toolkit i couzld find, but everyone needs debugging mode enabled. windows doesnt recognize the phone ( it says unkown device). So i tried to install the adb drivers, but nothing happens.
i wanted to try to push a rom with adb on the phone but it says no device found. i am such a noob, i hope some can help me.
thx

Its tricky but it worked for me when I couldn't get past bootloader. All you need to be able to do is get into download mode.
Just FYI don't ever take OTAs after flashing custom ROM. They never seem to turn out well.

Thank you guys.. I got in to recovery mode and install my back up. Don't know how i got in to recovery mode. I kept pressing different combination. Once again, thank you.
Bricked in a weird way
I think I bricked my phone in a similar way except I can't get into download mode or anything the only thing I can do is go into the hardware control mode and the factory reset mode when I try to factory reset it scrolls on the top right something about boot certification then it disappears and i get a black backlit screen and can do nothing

Hey sorry to hear. I went to reset screen I guess by pressing vol down button (Search online because I was keep pressing combination, so don't know exact combo. Press power button to continue and it will take to recovery screen for TWRP. Then install recovery from back up. Mine started working fine.

Bootloop?

My Nexus 10 has been acting up recently...the battery seemed to be draining A LOT quicker then it normally would.....the tablet would just shutdown in the middle of doing something. Fast forward a week or two, now when I turn it on it vibrates for a second, shows the "GOOGLE" logo and starts the boot animation for 4.4, vibrates and repeats the same. I manually formatted and flashed 4.4 (fastboot flash boot ...etc...) and still am getting the same issues...Any suggestions on what to try next?
Flash the newest factory image automatically via fastboot.

Just did that to no avail....same issue as before...Anything else to try?
It almost seems like it is not charging but I would assume I could still get it to boot up while connected to the charger....correct?
Update....I flashed CWM and sideloaded gapps and a ROM...and tried that...still the result..."GOOGLE" logo comes up and then a vibration...then it goes back to "charging" (the white battery with the lightning bolt through it)
Nobody has anything? Damn...lol

Sounds like it may be a hardware issue, since flashing the factory image didn't even help. I would say trying flashing the factory image using the flash-all method, and wiping data/factory reset right after. Couldn't hurt.

You said you installed cwm -- I assume you mean the recovery rom... If I'm wrong ignore the rest.
I too have had this issue and it was not hardware. To fix this I booted into cwm (the recovery rom I use on my N10) and reinstalled a stock factory boot rom. Just for those that don't know to boot into the recovery rom, power off the tablet, then press and hold the power, volume up AND volume down simultaneously --- finally, use the volume button to scroll to the recovery menu.

I am having the same exact issues. I too force flashed stock 4.4.4 and it still does not boot up. Any ideas on how to remedy this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Hoping to hear something as well...but doesn't look good...
Can you access adb? To check logcat while it's booting (and possibly find out why it's bootlooping)?
What did you use to format the partitions?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
I can access adb on my laptop...and I used the "fastboot format" and "fastboot flash"
How would I check the logcat file?

I am unable to get my Nexus to show up in command prompt when I run "adb devices". Not sure what to do.

The problem is that my tablet will reboot constantly and it shows my battery being fully drained even after charging it overnight. I'm able to force flash stock images to my tablet and this has not fixed the issue. So at the moment my nexus 10 is an expensive paperweight.
What happens when booted to bootloader or recovery? Does it act normal or loop?

[Q] Flashed wrong kernel!!!

i Was trying to get rid of the hissing noise on my
Lg g2 D802
i had TWRP installed
I read in a trhead that flashing the dorimanx kernel should fix that problem.
So i tried flash it, but instead of flashing the D802 i flashed the D800, i know i'm an idiot :/
I had a backup stock kernel but i think that's a wrong one too, again i'm an idiot
Now my phone boots into a black screen within the left top corner:
[2800] Fastboot mode started
[2850] udc_start()
i cannot boot into twrp anymore, it's basically bricked.
Can anyone help me recover my phone? i loved that thing, you will be my hero.
i promise when this is resolved i will never mess around with roms and kernels ever agian, i'm freaking out

Try to flash back to stock with kdz, as far as I am hearing this you kinda soft bricked it but not hard so it's still recoverable, you could also maybe try to flash your recovery back with fastboot since your in fastboot mode but I never tried that so I suggest you to go back to stock with kdz flashing
ye try enter download mode and follow this (use search) i think its volum up and connect usb to pc

Thank you for your reply, i tried to get into download mode, but failed every time, i can only press the power button for 5 sec and the Lg logo apears, then i get the same screen.
did this way?
Your phone must be turned off before starting the steps from this guide.
So, press power button and select “power off”.
Then, press the volume up button on your LG G2.
While you are holding the volume up button, plug in your phone’s USB cable.
Keep pressing the Volume up button until the download mode is being displayed.
Now the phone will install some drivers – it should take around 10 minutes to complete; the best will be to let your device install the mentioned drivers.

I did the same thing today by accident. I still can boot into recovery tho, TWRP. Copied the correct kernel file via OTG but it just reboots the recovery and doesn't install the kernel. Have you find any solutions?
EDIT: I actually managed to flash the right kernel and the problem is now fixed. Check everything before flashing something guys, caution

Was on CloudyG2 2.2 and Used Autorec and bricked phone. Even download mode is broken

I know there are tons of threads on this, but I think my phone is fixable and I want to make sure I use the right method so I dont permantely brick it. Here is what happened.
1) I was on CloudyG2 2.2 which I believe is a Kitkat rom.
2) Used Autorec and rebooted.
3) Standard boot gets me a Fastboot Started screen.
4) Holding down and powering on gets me to the Factory Reset screen. If I use power button twice to proceed, it goes to a Fastboot screen.
5) Holding volume up and plugging in my phone, it hsows Download Mode for a second then shows a fastboot screen. I do get Windows 10 to ding when I plug it in during this time and the screen changes to fastboot: processing commands.
So, it seems I fubared both download and recovery. I believe I need to get download mode fixed first before I can fix recovery and reinstall a rom. Is that a correct assumption? If so, can someone point me to the correct guide for this specific situation? I see a lot of threads, but I am not sure which pertains to me and I dont want to do anything I can fix.
Thanks, I really do appreciate it!
