When my M reboots, it goes directly to fastboot everytime. It says "Fastboot Reason: Stick bit factory_fastboot. Is there a way to remove / disable this? It still boots but I have to go through the trouble of getting out of fastboot

Only fastboot? If you using original ROM, reflash original sbf thru RSD Lite. Backup before flashing, if you can access recovery. And then restore.
If you can't go to recovery, search something about "stick bit factory_fastboot". I saw somewhere methode for solving that problem. There was need to flash some parts from sbf, not whole firmware. Or smthng like that, i can't remember.
If you using custom ROM with custom recovery try next.
Can you access recovery mode?
If so, backup your current ROM on external sd of course, flash original firmware, root, install custom recovery and then restore your backup.
If not, go thru first methode.
Hope it will help.

I found a working method in the Motorola Atrix HD threads, basically just run this command in fastboot and the issue is fixed
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

Broke/cracked my screen and it's not usable anymore. Looking to sell it quickly for $70, got a few interested buyers.
I was wondering how I can wipe out user data and everything without being able to use a screen. Factory reset, etc etc.
Thanks in advance guys.
Rooted running on PA, using TWRP.
If you can get into fastboot, "format userdata". There are other methods, but only for a functional screen. Let me know if you need further help with fastboot.

Too bad my screen isn't functional
So then you just need to have ADB/fastboot installed on your computer. Reboot your phone to the bootloader. Then "fastboot format userdata", or "fastboot erase userdata". You don't even need the screen!

You don't need it on. Just an unlocked bootloader. And if your bootloader is not unlocked, just unlock it and it'll wipe everything. fastboot oem unlock

Flash recovery from fastboot using "fastboot flash recovery". Then you can use adb from the custom recovery.

Oh yes understood, unfortunely I can't..it's the part where you hook the battery. But now I have a new phone, I only need to know if there is a way to recover data without a battery plugged in, so a command in fastboot mode.

There are no commands in fastboot to recover data. Only adb, which if you can't boot into recovery or the os you're sol.

fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
fastboot -w
I'd then flash the factory image with fastboot. That way the partitions will be written to twice.
Edit, if you're able to use fastboot have you tried booting into a custom recovery?

I'm trying to install TWRP recovery on my essential phone. this is the guide i am using, though pretty much every guide i found follows the same commands:
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/install-twrp-recovery-essential-ph-1-0187660/
The command to determine my current slot returned that i am on slot_b, and when i try to flash the twrp img to slot_a, it sits trying to write. it never crashes but doesn't get anywhere. nothing is happening either in the command prompt window or on the phone screen.
I'm not sure what the issue is. I've updated the android sdk to the newest version and confirmed that I'm using that version of fastboot. I've also updated essential's windows drivers for the device, and rebooted the bootloader several times.
EDIT: I have noticed that on the phone screen when in the bootloader, it says "SECURE BOOT - yes". i don't know if this is important, but when i ran "fastboot oem device-info" it said true for unlocked and unlocked-critical.

Have you the latest twrp.img from the twrp.me site?
Do you have a type c to USB connector thing? Bluetooth keyboard?
If yes, fastboot flash boot twrp.img.
You might need the Bluetooth keyboard in case of not having touch response.

i do have the newest file. i even tried redownloading it thinking the file might have been corrupted.
i haven't gotten to the part where i would need a usb otg keyboard yet, though i have one for when i make it that far.
I would check out the PH1 Development Telegram Channel as if your on stock they have boot images with TWRP and root already added and then all you have to do is fastboot flash the patched image and you will have TWRP with working touch and root as well. Here is the link to the channel if your interested https://t.me/EssentialPH1DEV

I'm not having issues with touch yet. haven't even made it far enough to know if I'm having an issue with touch in twrp...
I can't flash anything for some reason.
I'm stuck at "Sending 'boot_b' (48712 KB)" and nothing happens. every post I've seen says this should take less than 2 seconds but I've waited up to 10 minutes some tries and nothing happens. i need to restart the bootloader after trying this each time before it will let me try again.

Did you do the two unlock commands via fastboot? Firstly.?(not intending to dumb you down or anything)
Did you try with just - fastboot flash boot twrp.img ?
P.S. !! Definitely check out the posted telegram channel! Super helpful group of people.

I did fastboot flashing unlock and unlock_critical. Those seemed to work it shows up as being unlocked and factory reset.
To try to flash twrp I ran fastboot flash boot_a (also tried boot_b and boot) twrp.img and it tried to send but just sits trying and isn't getting anywhere.

I've tried both CMD and Powershell
my computer only has USB 3.0 and 3.1 ports, all type A, so I'm using USB A-C cables. the cables are both only USB 2.0.
so I'm not sure why i tried this but it seemed to work...
I sent the flash command and when it got to the part it normally freezes at, i restarted the bootloader using volume and power keys on the phone. then while it was restarting i sent the command again, and as soon as it got to the bootloader the command activated and worked instantly. now I'm toying around with this newfound knowledge and i think i have twrp working. just wiped phone again and installed AOSIP so here we go

Nice to hear! Be sure to have the twrpinstaller.zip handy to flash after the ROM!! This preserves twrp.

I need to send the command while the bootloader is restarting. It works consistently for me. Unplugging and repluging won't do it; only restarting bootloader. I honestly can't explain it but it's working great.

My OnePlus 8 Pro is stuck in a fastboot boot loop, can't even power the phone down at this point, fastboot just comes back up again. There is no ROM on the phone somehow (after attempting to downgrade from the beta program) The bootloader is also locked as well, and can't flash any fastboot images. I have attempted to use the MsmDownloadTool, but can't get out of fastboot to use it.
What can I do at this point?
UPDATE: After letting the phone sit and drain the battery completely, I was able to get it into EDL mode, and use the MSM tool, it flashed everything, but still no boot. Any suggestions?
Make sure that you are not connected to USB and select power off from the fastboot menu. You should be able to put it into EDL mode after that and connect back to USB so that you can use the msm tool.

Power off would immediately power back on and to fastboot. I let the phone die and was able to get it to go into EDL mode after, and was able to use the MSM tool, but still no boot.
Any suggestions?
Only time I have had that happen is when I still had the USB cable connected. If it let you use the msm tool and still no boot there may be something wrong with the phone and need an RMA.
Can you access fastboot from the command line? Try downloading the fastboot rom and flash it using the flash-all bat. I had an issue after doing an ota where it wouldn't boot anything but the bootloader. Had to manually change slots to B and then run flash-all and was good after that.

Fastboot does boot, but it is locked so there is no flashing anything through that.
Recovery can now boot as well, but still no boot to OS.

Cannot unlock as I can't boot into an OS to enable the unlock. Tried flashing through fastboot but gives error that it has to be unlocked. I have attempted unlocking it through fastboot but it gives an error that it can't be unlocked.
