on #cyanogenmod channel on freenode user spudowiar helped me..
the problem:

partition /misc is fault.. and twrp (for example) does not mount this partition to wipe it correctly..

you can wipe it manualy by dd it..
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
but do a backup before! (just in case)
adb pull /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc misc.img

Could you explain what you did?

I've actually found people with same constant booting into recovery problem. I thought I was alone, but it seems I'm not.

Where do I type the command; TWRP or via adb? What does the dd command do?

just boot twrp.. then send command via adb..

dd writes zeros into the partition "/misc".. as i wrote, this means to wipe this partition...


but this info is in this thread.. written by me and cheppiroma.. that's the reason why i don't understand your question..

Hi, do this commands work in windows? When trying to do the backup I get:

remote object '/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc' not a file or directory

EDIT
Nevermind, it worked like a charm! Thank you so much!!

[SOLVED] Fix for device booting into recovery instead of system

I know this is late but I just had this same problem and for anyone out there, well here you go

First use TWRP or CWM and install the rom you want to use then once its done boot into Bootloader mode (NOT SYSTEM)

In fastboot from your computer type

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

Then Do a normal Powerup

FIXED!

    Fixed Boot Loop on Moto G5 Plus

    The /misc partition tip also fixed my Moto G5 Plus always booting to TWRP. I used the "adb shell" command to find the directory, which for me was /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc.

    Code:
    adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc

    I'm going to be explicit in how I found the directory. To poke around, I used the "ls" command, which lists the directories and files on the device:
    Code:
    adb shell
    ls /dev/block/platform
    ls /dev/block/platform/soc
    ls /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci
    ls /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name
    exit

    I got this output, but it still worked:
    Code:
    dd: writing '/dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc': No space left on device
    2049+0 records in
    2048+0 records out
    1048576 bytes (1.0MB) copied, 0.095814 seconds, 10.4MB/s

    Thanks to demlak, the original poster of the dd command. I never would have found that on my own.

    hey guys, for the athene version of moto g4 , the path is different:

    try
    adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc
    works like a charm :good::good:

    Hey there XDA, I have a strange problem. Maybe you can help me out.

    I just got my Moto G today and after unlocking the bootloader, the first thing I did was flash TWRP (fastboot flash recovery TWRP-2.7.0.0-falcon.img).
    I did this with the normal fastboot from the Android SDK, not the Motorola version.

    Now everytime I start the device, it always boots right into recovery. Always. Doesn't matter if there's TWRP, CWM or Stock installed.
    I also flashed the device to GPE afterwards (using the Motorola fastboot) which should've erased everything, but it still does it.

    The only way I can get into the actual system is by flashing the normal boot.img as recovery (fastboot flash recovery boot.img).

    Can someone please shed some light on this for me? I'd be eternally grateful.

    Thanks in advance.
    Kenny
