Last week i received a notification the 8.1 Oreo update was available for my Moto g4 Plus.
Downloaded the package and hit the install button. My moto restarted in order to perform the installation.

However, since i had TWRP installed and thus bootloader unlocked, the phone restarted in recovery mode.
Downloaded a TWRP 8.1 rom and installed it without a problem.

Unfotunately everytime I restart my Moto it starts up in fastboot mode.
Bootloader log shows: Fastboot Reason: reboot mode set to fastboot
From bootloader I can start the Android OS, but i wan't to get rid of this reboot mode

I tried tools like "Android Multi Tool" and "Free ReiBoot for Android" but this reboot mode can not be cleared.

Anyone encountered this problem and how did you fix it.

Thanks in advance

Try this:

Reboot your device to the bootloader.
Connect your device to your computer and open an ADB terminal on your computer.
In the ADB terminal, type 'fastboot devices' without quotes. Press Enter - your device should respond with its serial number.
If so, then type 'fastboot oem fb_mode_clear' without quotes. Press Enter, then reboot your device.

That fb_mode_clear command seems to clear a flag that keeps your device booting into fastboot (usually for OTA updates).

I have Tried that option as i found it as one of the possible solutions for this issue.
the clear_fb unfortunately does not remove the fastboot mode on my moto.
