Moto X - Stucked in Bootloop (No recovery)

[pratikghelani]

Hello everyone , Maybe it was a mistake or something my device is now just looping in. I searched a lot and followed different methods but not succeeded.

Previously I was on
Android 4.4.4 (Stock) with bootloader unlocked. NO ROOT

I tried stock recovery method but failed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515

I am just able to run fastboot (Volume Down + Poweroff) and tried to flash TWRP recovery.

C:\adb>mfastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target max-download-size: 768MB
sending 'recovery' (9854 KB)...
OKAY [  0.864s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [  0.905s]
finished. total time: 1.777s

After flashing I reeboted but no success. Just showing Motorola boot animation and shuts down.
Help me please. Stucked badly.

Ok you are on the 4.4.4 bootloader. All you need to do is press and hold power button until the screen shuts off. Then quickly press and hold volume down button for about 3 seconds, keep holding it then press the power button and hold them both for about 3 seconds then release the buttons to get you into bootloader mode.

Then reflash your 4.4.4 stock system and recovery images using mfastboot. That should do it.

Are you using the correct system and recovery images for your model? What model do you have?

Thank for replying, I went to the bootloader and tried to flash an 4.4.4 Asian Moto X firmware using fastboot. After completing all the steps when I reboot, it again just shows Moto boot animation. Nothing else, even further when I choose "recovery" from bootloader, it goes to a dead screen with red exclamation mark.

Are you seeing the dead android with a red triangle and an exclamation mark? If so, at that point you press and hold the power button for about 3 seconds then tap and release the volume up button. That should pull up the recovery menu. Then use volume down to scroll to wipe cache and power to select it.

I tried to factory reset, but again it gets shut down after boot animation.
No actually, my model number is XT1052. I searched for proper firmware but haven't found yet.
I actually need to flash cm12.1 but I am stucked in loop. Don't know what to do

It makes no sense to factory reset.

Instead, please get into recovery menu using the instructions I provided before and wipe your cache.

Then try rebooting.

Okay, when i wiped cached it process for few seconds and again screen went off and moto boot animation appears again. I think i don't any rom currently the reason why it is looping back and forth, even after wiping cache.

Carrier means? I just know country is India and Unlocked Sim model no. XT1052.

I would install Motorola Device Manager to your PC and then put the device in bootloader mode, connect it to your PC and then run MDM and see if MDM can repair the phone.

If the system image is a single file system.img, you will need mfastboot to flash it. If it is in sparse chunks, then regular fastboot can flash it.

Thanks, Yeah i will use mfastboot, since .img file is single and large. If not, I will try Motorola Device Manager. Let's see if this works. I will report you back..

Result: Oh god, none of them worked for me. I don't know what i am gonna do.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-newbies-how-to-revert-to-stock-t3104208 take a good look at this thread. All you need to is to revert to stock through Rsd lite. mFastboot causes many issues AFAIK. Read everything in the thread and implement it... I've mentioned information for people in a situation like you are right now... Use RSD LITE to flash new firmware. I think your whole phone needs to be erased. Rsd lite will do this for you. Also make sure you have an unlocked bootloader.

Great news!!!! If you are going to flash, you really need to know how to force a hard reboot and get into bootloader mode. If you can do that and your bootloader is unlocked and you have the stock firmware for your phone, you can recover from anything!!!

Can you post the link for the 4.4.4 Asian Moto X firmware. Even I am having the same issue as yours, so did your method workout??

How do I flash system.IMG with low battery ?
I can't get my phone to charge, and it doesn't even enter recovery (TWRP) .
