[Moto E General] yashpalgoyal1304:
Intro: I am stuck in a bootloop. I am feeling overwhelmed and needed somewhere to write down the progress so far. With this thread i intent to track my research and also, ask for a li'l bit of guidance (and sort of saying that am not asking for spoon feeding). When completed, this may also help other users i think/hope. I promise i am not spamming. I will continue with research tomorrow as i have to sleep now. I hope that I am not violating any rules by posting like this.

Device/driver details:

* Motorola Moto E XT1022 Condor

* that was running LAOS_14.xx (which means that bootloader was unlocked, & TWRP was already flashed).

* the memory card tray is damaged/not working (this necessitates using ADB).

* Drivers from https://support.motorola.com/us/en/solution/MS88481 (refer: post #1).

The problem:

* I am stuck in a bootloop.

Current behavior:

0* Stuck at fastboot. Sometimes it proceeds to booting, reaches the LAOS booting animation, and loops like forever (checked by waiting for around 30-120 minutes).

* Going into recovery mode is finnicky and also dependent on the reason for booting in fastboot (i.e. via manual triggering via volume button, vs. due to `failed to validate boot image`).

1* Can't enter ADB for whatever reasons. The articles say driver, or usb debugging. I am using the driver given at the original post of this thread, so, have not doubted it yet. And this brings to the 1st point below.

What do I plan to do:

2. Enable USB debugging (to use ADB)

3. Transfer the contents of my internal storage to PC.

4. Transfer the ROM from PC to sd-card (maybe via ADB-sideload).

My research so far for:

{0}. Main Problem (bootloop.....)

https://github.com/aravindvnair99/Motorola-Moto-E-XT1022-condor-unbrick#book-how-to-unbrick (as far as i can tell, method 5 is applicable to my case.)

But still I would like to try a fresh flash of ROM before trying this above mentioned guide, as this seems like a last resort.

{2}. Enabling USB debugging

No solid idea yet for how it will be done.

I tried searching using these terms (clickme).

* 2nd result - not clear & hence not looking legitimate to me :(

* 3 Reddit article - conflicting advice.

On further looking, i am faced with information overload (i.e. way too many articles, and further different/conflicting/inconclusive advice).

{3}. ~backup

No idea yet.

{4}. ROM move to device

I am hoping for this HowToTWRPto Copy FIle PC to phone (clickme) to work.

UPDATE:

I am sharing how i solved the problems:

{1}. ADB

The ADB wasnt working 'cause I was using a generic charging cable. When I plugged with a data cable, it worked like charm

(motivation from: 3rd result/reddit article/1st comment). U can also get the quick idea via the cable plugged in sound (which i wasn't getting initially). Also, dont know if that made a difference or not, but I was using these drivers: https://support.motorola.com/us/en/drivers

{2}. USB Debugging

{3} Backup/ {4} moving ROM to device / {0} Bootloop

* I used adb sideload (see: https://twrp.me/faq/ADBSideload.html) which saved me from all of these things.

* U can also use `adb push/pull` (basics at: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2141817) for {3} & {4}, then flash for {0}.

The boot animation played for 7 minutes and voilla, success.
