Okay, so heres my issue. Moto Z got wet. It happened during an accident at work and I got a bit side tracked and after a while I noticed the phone was getting really hot so I accidentally restarted it instead of turning it off. Now the phone is stuck in a boot loop. I can get to the boot loader screen. I can restart boot loader via button commands but anything else I try for instance, recovery mode, it goes in to the loop again. My laptop ( windows ) see the phone but not a as a Moto z and I can talk to it with commands on the laptop. I"ve tried flashing with no success. Maybe I'm not doing something right on that part. I'm not trying to unlock the bootloader mainly because I can't considering the model of it. I just want to restore the firmware on the phone. Is it possible? Many thanks in advance.
Yeah I own this cell phone as well. Some trick you could try is to let it drain power wise out. Get a zip-lock page for freezer add a folded paper towel with it and your phone. Leave it in the freezer for 30 hrs. Plug it up to power turn i on. Note if you have changed anything to the firmware to the cell phone this might not work.
Thanks for tip tipstir. I have been trying to restore the firmware for a few days now, researching like hell. I didn't touch the phone for about a week before attempting to restore it. Yesterday I used an all in one tool form a developer here and managed to stop the boot loop. Now all it does is boot to the fast boot screen. It still won't go in to recovery or anything. Flashing fails on RSDlite 3 out of 38 steps. Anything else I can try?

So basically this rom is awesome but it had only one problem. When I plugged my phone in the charger while it was turned off, it bootlooped until I restarted with the cable off. It was no big deal and nothing bad ever came out of it.
Yesterday my batter ran out while I was asleep and when I woke up it was already turned off. I, absentmindly, tried to turn it on, LG Logo, off again. Did it one more time, nothing happened, realized it's out of battery. Plugged in charger, try to turn it off/on, usual bootloop happens. Say ok and proceed with what I always did, phone gets past LG Logo, goes into SlimLP boot animation and for the first it has just stayed there. No restarts, just endless loading. Longest i Left it on to load was about 45 minutes. Never got back on.
Apart from that, I think that for some reason my recovery got uninstalled somehow, by itself, a few weeks ago. I only noticed this because before, when I wanted to get into recovery, I pressed the usual buttons and it went straight into TWRP. Now the same buttons take me to the "Factory reset screen". I know that everyone says to just go ahead and press power, but I am afraid, since I am not sure if TWRP is still functioning. This happened to me another time on the same phone, and when I confirmed the factory reset, it factory resetted.
My problem here is that I want to get my music and photos. I'm only able to enter that factory reset screen and download mode. Can I "flash" twrp safely from download mode? Should I use Flash Tool 2014 and Normal flash(which says it keeps the data) a stock g2 rom? Can I mount my phone to the computer in download mode to copy my files? I want the most risk-free approach.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, first If you can enter download mode I think you can flash kdz (Kitkat) file to stock using Flash Tool 2014. But I had this problem once and the keep data flashing didn't work (stucked at 50%), I ended up flashed it with other option (erased all data).
2. You can try the "Factory reset" nice and easy.
I think you can't see files on the device unless you enter Twrp.
It's wise to backup your phone on the computer montly or so, thank you.
I went ahead and nuked my download mode using the SRK tools. Then got access to fastboot, through which I booted to twrp and then I could move my files. All's fine, flashed my ROM again and it's going better than ever.
Can anyone PLEASE help??
My partner opted to do a suggested update on her S5, but didn't notice the wifi was off. The phone seemed to have done the update, but shortly after it rebooted itself, then again, then again. The frequency of reboot got quicker and quicker and now it loops between the Galaxy S5 splash screen and the SAMSUNG logo, but doesn't go any further.
I managed to boot the phone into reset mode, cleared the cache and then did a factory reset, but that did nothing to prevent the boot loop.
I then downloaded Odin (ver 10.3.7) and what I believed to be the correct firmware (G900FXXS1CPLV_G900FVFR1CPJ1_G900FXXU1CPIW_HOME.tar.md5).
Having checked the battery was charged, I followed the instructions of connecting the phone via USB, loading the md5 in the AP, checking Auto Reboot and F-Set time in the options and clicking the Odin Start button. I had removed the battery, replaced it and then booted it into the update mode (Power, Home, Volume Down, then volume up) with the screen confirming I was in the right place (....do not unplug.... etc).
The file loaded, (green bar at top of the Odin window on my PC) and Odin reported success. I then disconnected the phone, booted in recovery mode, reset the cache and then did a clear data, factory reset.
The same symptoms prevail, STUCK IN BOOT LOOP!!!!
The only thing different is that if I plug it into the USB on my PC, after a while the phone tries to turn itself on and goes into either a boot loop or freezes on the Galaxy S5 Splash screen or the SAMSUNG Logo.
I am charging another battery (just in case that is in some way to blame) and will try again to replace the firmware, but could I be missing something, do I need to do anything with PIT (I thought this was all taken care of by Odin using the MD5 file) or is there some other test I can perform that will show if the phone is fried???
MANY THANKS for looking!
ur going correct, try to reflash it again through odin and dont disconnect phone until it boots into system, it is taking some good time, so just wait and dont do anything this time like clearing anything or restoring. i hope ull get success.
THANKS - but...
Thanks Rayzen, I will try the whole thing again, but I think there is something more to this than a firmware fault!
There and gone again
OK, so on the 4th attempt I got the phone to take the firmware using Odin, it reported success and the phone rebooted itself (several times) and eventually appeared to boot to a new factory reset.
I put in a SIM card and entered my email and google account details and left it charging over night. This morning when I tried to use it, the screen froze and then it rebooted itself. Hey presto, the phone is back to square one with a boot loop.
ANYONE (please) got any suggestions?
THANKS
No one??
same here, same symptoms, same feeling.
when flash gone right... i feel lucky.. but for half hour only, rebooted and angain in boot loop.
I cannot even boot in recovery. flashed TWRP. from 5 boots in recovery only 1 success.
When trying to wipe phone in TWRP - it hangs.
still trying to install some other (custom) rom. still no success.
hope never dies
same things happened here! now cant get samsung galaxy s5 to boot...............
Are you sure your using right firmware? as it took me a few versions before it booted last time this happened?
Could any please confirm what is the right firmware for samsung galaxy s5 900F
It took another 6 or 7 attempts, left it over night and was about to trash it when it booted.
I then received a 'software update available' message and tried installing it. First attempt put the phone back into boot loop so I reflashed it again using Odin.
That worked immediately the over the network software update installed and now phone is 100%
Very frustrating but I got there!
glad you fixed it! ive tried three different firmwares and still nothing.
trying this one atm
G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FEVR1AND1_G900FXXU1ANE2_HOME.tar
oh and how long do they take to boot when there are sitting at the samsung glowing screen?>
I'm in UK and used what (I had to guess) was the best firmware.
I'll let you know which version it was when I get home tonight.
BUT I had all the problems with a single version and it eventually came good.
I read somewhere that overwriting a different core (from specific providers) with generic firmware, could lead to a world of pain until it gets full replaced... not sure if that's a good description (or has any fact to it) but it seemed to be re-loading and re-loading and re........ for ages, finally cracked it.
well mines booted now!but getting constant errors about samsung push!
If it'still booted, you'very made progress!
Push issues are mentioned elsewhere and can (eventually be sorted) but if you have a booted phone you should be able to get an over the air software update installed from the service provider....?!
Hi,
I picked up a second hand XT1622 super cheap the other day. It didn't seem to want to boot at first, and stuck around on the blue Motorola logo for a while, but eventually after leaving it alone for an hour or so it sprang into action.
Trouble was I then made the mistake of downloading the December OTA update, and since rebooting from that installation it's been stuck on the blue screen again.
I thought maybe something went wrong with the OTA, and flashed the December firmware through Fastboot hoping that would resurrect it, but I'm still getting the same result.
The bootloader is locked unfortunately, and I can't boot into recovery mode either - same issue.
Does anybody have suggestions other than me breaking the phone in half (which is probably going to happen today anyway)?
Phone suddenly sprang to life, but for some reason wouldn’t let me press return after entering my PIN after prompting for it in setup - maybe it’s a hardware issue and the phone’s on its way to the great G4 graveyard in the sky?
The original G destroys this nonsense of a phone.
For and download the stock firmware, and then flash it through fastboot. After that, see if it boots. If it does, unlock the bootloader so you will have b easier time if this happens again.
my p10 plus got got bricked and it is always going to eRecovery without going to home screen after update. my phone is BOOTLOADER LOCK, NOT ROOTED THOUGH. and i want to fix this . i need help . ps : i hope theres a method that could fix this without unlocking bootloader.

hi, do you dolve your problme? i guess i have the same problem XD
regards
My P10 plus started this exact problem today. Always stock, never rooted or boot unlocked.
I was playing a game and it rebooted. Started again and lasted a minute but then constant bootloop to eRecovery screen.
Did the erecovery image download and didn't do anything brought me back to the same screen
Tried to factory reset on the ecovery screen and then booted, but during setup it rebooted.
Went to fastboot screen (pwr+vol down while attached to usb) and rebooted after. I was able to go through setup.
After letting it for sit for only 2 minutes as I type this message, it randomly started rebooting on its own.....and now back to recovery screen.
FACKKKKKKK
UPDATE: Took my phone in to a cell repair shop after exhausting all my troubleshooting options.
They said they took the phone apart to disconnect the battery and do a full power drain. Then after reconnected they installed EMUI 9.1 again via USB and got the phone up and running.
Been working for me for the past 6 hours, but the phone just rebooted on me once, so i'm sure they're still an unsolved demon in it. but no idea what it is right now.... May be time to start phone shopping.
maybe just battery broken, install app accu battery or any other to check batery
TL;DR it's bootlooping, and I can't enter download mode.
My V20 H910 hasn't been touched for a couple years now. It started bootlooping years ago, and it's only now that I'm trying so hard to fix it. When I try to boot it, I get the LG screen for a few seconds, then it goes all black, and then it repeats until I pull the battery.
I can navigate to the screen to initiate a factory reset, but when I confirm, it freezes up for a moment and then goes back to the boot loop.
When I plug it in to initiate download mode, I get the screen that says it's trying to start download mode for a couple seconds, and then it goes back to the boot loop. I tried launching LGUP during this two second period, and unsurprisingly, it does not see the phone.
I've tried putting it in the freezer, and I've tried using a different battery. I tried "discharging the capacitors on the motherboard" by removing the battery and pressing the power button fifteen times. This causes it to vibrate briefly when I attempt to power it on, but then it bootloops as normal.
It's totally stock Oreo - no root, no custom ROMs, no TWRP, no unlocked bootloader. I might have enabled USB debugging, but that doesn't do me much good when it won't boot (yes, I tried ADB anyways, and no, it doesn't see it).
I did use third party USB cables to charge it back when it worked, so I am aware that this may just be a faulty motherboard. But I'm hoping there's another option I haven't pursued yet.
What do you think? Is it a brick? I've spent all day searching for potential fixes, so any help is appreciated!
