[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DinniLee:
Greetings, I'm posting a new thread here because I wasn't sure if this would be seen in the thread I posted it in. Please treat me kindly.

I updated phone to the new OS and my phone went into a boot loop. Booted my phone in Fastboot to try to Factory Reset, it won't reset, it just goes back into Boot Loop... *sobs* I've looked everywhere to find a solution to the following problem, and I'm posting here in order to avoid making unnecessary forums.

My Issue:

As stated above, I updated my phone and it went into boot loop. I am trying to flash it to the previous version, but because I can not factory reset my phone I can not flash my phone. I can not unlock the Bootloader because my USB Debugging is disabled and can not be enabled because my phone is bricked.

I've tried clearing the cache - wipe_data | wipe_cache | fastboot format userdata

I've tried

Only to later find it did not work due to my Bootloader being Locked...

Here's what I'd like to know: How do I Factory Reset my phone OR Enable USB Debugging from my computer?

Heck, why not tell me both, I can really use the help as this is my only phone and Motorola REFUSED to fix my phone due to some magical liquid damage... to a water resistant phone... that was never once touched by liquid of any kind... but I digress... [...vents on]

About my Phone:

Model XT1548

Rooted: No

Bootlader: Locked

Flashed: No (I believe)

Cause of Problem: Update to Marshmallow
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
ADB Debugging cannot be enabled except through the Developers Menu, which you have to be able to boot-up for. USB Debugging is not required to unlock the bootloader, fastboot is all that is required, but enabling the OEM Unlocking switch in the Developer Menu is a prerequisite.

You should be able to factory reset your phone, start the bootloader and select Recovery, after several seconds you should see Andy laying on his back saying No Command, hold POWER and tap VOL UP and release both to get to the menu and perform a factory reset.

Remember that the first boot can take in excess of 20 minutes with nothing appearing to happen, it can seem like forever.

Also, you do not need an unlocked bootloader to flash a factory firmware of the same or higher release than what you have, if you can get the same or higher level firmware you can flash it with fastboot, unlocking the bootloader is only a requirement to downgrade.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DinniLee:
The problem is that I can not factory reset the phone from fastboot. The only recovery option I get is Recovery Mode which sends me back to Bootloader logs. I have tried every option in Fastboot all of which lead me either back into Fastboot or into the boot loop.

I wanted to unlock my Bootloader initially so I can wipe my phone clean and flash it via my computer, as it can not be done from the phone itself. But since I can not access my developer options yo enable OEM unlocking (thanks for the correction btw), how then can I unlock my bootloader? Rather, if unlocking the boot loader is not necessary, how then do I factory reset my phone via my computer as it can not be done through the phone itself?

When I tried the wipe codes it shows it can not be done due to file type "raw" which, in order to switch it I need bootloader unlocked... see my dilemma?

Thanks a bunch!

To add: Also, I would prefer to downgrade because F%&! their update, I just want my phone back. Lol
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Just flash the current factory image via fastboot, the bootloader does not need to be unlocked. Then if it still won't boot, factory reset and do the process again.

If all this fails, your pretty much out of options other than send it in to Moto.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DinniLee:
I see what you mean, but I just don't want to flash it without factory resetting the phone first which may further ruin my phone.

My phone can not be factory reset from the fastboot menu, which is why I'm having this problem.

Motorola refused to repair my phone due to liquid damage, which I don't believe is true because my phone never once came into contact with liquid of any kind. Nevertheless I've tried sending it in.

Is it safe then to flash without factory resetting? If not how do I reset the phone via my computer?

I really don't want to have to buy a new phone or send to third party repair when the damage is due to an update spammed onto me by Motorola. It's not very fair. But I digress.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
I don't think you understand... Flashing the image will not damage your phone, as long as you follow the directions... The key here is recovery is not working, you said it just reboots, you need to get it working one way or another, so flash it.

If your not willing to try things, won't/can't send it in for repair, and have a locked bootloader then you might as well just throw it out and buy a new one.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DinniLee:
I have no problem with flashing the phone. You say it's safe if I follow instructions, which yes, I know this to be true, however my dilemma still persists:

The #1 instruction in big bold letters when flashing the phone is that I "Must factory reset the phone before flashing." So if it is in fact safe to flash my phone without factory resetting then I am full willing to do so. BUT if it damages my phone to flash it without factory resetting I would rather find the best way to reset it in order to flash.

With that being said, I reiterate my question, is it in fact safe to flash my phone without factory resetting, which is the #1 step in flashing.

Here is the link to the instructions I'm referring to.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravemind2015:
If you fail to factory reset in stock recovery *before* flashing firmware, you will usually end up in a bootloop. Your phone won't melt down, just a cute bootloop.

Try this command from the start-

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

(Here recovery.img is the stock one)

Then, in the phone, press volume down button twice and when you see 'recovery', press power to boot into it. Now An open belly android should pop up with the text 'no command'. Press and hold power and tap volume up button. Now you should see recovery menus.

Factory reset there, and press power+volume down till you boot back to fastboot (bootloader) menu. Now continue with the tutorial. You can go and factory reset again after flashing firmware it you want.

fastboot boot recovery.img , will temporary boot the img file
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Pretty sure this does not work with a locked bootloader.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DinniLee:
OMG Thank you SO much!!! The factory reset worked! Although, I had to push

Volume Up

not Volume Down, but it worked!!! I almost cried yo... Thank you so much!

I hope this helps anyone else who may have had the same problem as myself. Thank you so much!!! :highfive::victory:
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravemind2015:
Sorry, I meant Volume up there, the typo creeped in somehow. My bad. Glad you got it working!

I just received a package from HTC with a "#teamhtc" clear TPU case, an Uh Oh bag, and a code for $150 off a new HTC 10 to share. Looks to be a new promotion. Anyone else get this yet?

sent from my HTC 1010
[HTC 10 Accessories] papashex:
I received email today that stated "a small gift" was on it's way. I Guess that's what it will be. What's the "Uh Oh" bag? Related to the "Uh Oh" warranty?
[HTC 10 Accessories] DrBrick:
it's just a tote with the Uh Oh logo on it.

sent from my HTC 1010
[HTC 10 Accessories] jaredkzr:
Yeah, I got this too. Completely unexpected and I was just complaining about needing a new case earlier today. I'm really loving these little care packages that HTC has been sending!
[HTC 10 Accessories] kura808:
I got my gift too! Really nice of HTC to send these unexpected gifts. ?
[HTC 10 Accessories] gamer765:
I got it too, but the $150 coupon code doesn't seem to work. The HTC 10 is already $150 off, don't think they'd want us stacking it with that offer for $300 off. Would be nice if it could be used on accessories, which I also tried to no avail.
[HTC 10 Accessories] GSE20:
Just got mines today too. No email prior to it, but still a very nice surprise. The case is pretty flimsy, but the tote is nice. Not complaining about any free stuff though
[HTC 10 Accessories] ImagioX1:
I got it too. Very nice surprise. Wasn't expecting it at all.
[HTC 10 Accessories] mozman:
I'm trying to hold out for the red HTC 10.im worried the 150 promo will expire before its available again. If anyone is willing to share the code,please pm me. And when does the 150 off code expire? TIA
[HTC 10 Accessories] dlads:
How are you getting these?
[HTC 10 Accessories] AliLaPointe:
Just tried using the code and it doesn't work.
[HTC 10 Accessories] lutz890:
I just received the TPU case and a screen wipe with Uo-oh logo on it. Have not tried the coupon yet, but I don't think anyone I know wants a htc 10 :(
[HTC 10 Accessories] oryan_dunn:
I just got this case and bag as well. I thought it was funny the case insert said M10 One...

I like the case as an alternative to the Ice View case.
[HTC 10 Accessories] GSE20:
This came addressed from HTC America Fulfillment, so I'm not sure if it's just something we're getting here. Hopefully someone outside the US can confirm this.

As for the coupon code, I just tried it and it actually only took off $100, and not $150 as advertised. Maybe it'll work properly when that sale they have goes away. On that note, the one I added in my cart was full price, so I don't know what's going on.
[HTC 10 Accessories] dlads:
What phone variant to you have? Any particular type? Carrier? Was it bought outright?
[HTC 10 Accessories] ImagioX1:
Bought mine unlocked direct from HTC and I got the free gift.
[HTC 10 Accessories] pelon90005:
What company shipped it

Sprint HTC 10 running BadBoyz
[HTC 10 Accessories] dlads:
Then that would be the reason.

Cheers.
[HTC 10 Accessories] ichardy:
Got my care package today yeah :good::D
[HTC 10 Accessories] caseyatbt:
I haven't seen it in stock yet. Have they had any before?

Does the $150 coupon have an expiration?
[HTC 10 Accessories] mosincredible:
I actually like this case other than the LK branding. Too bad they didn't remove it.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Neekeet:
Didn't expect it either

Glad we are getting these packages

Pretty neat way into keeping customers with these incentives

Now we need is them to send us a pair of headphones :)
[HTC 10 Accessories] hx3:
Received mine from HTC today, but it included a stress ball with the "Uh Oh" logo on it rather than the bag. Clear case, as well.
[HTC 10 Accessories] silemingje:
HTC is sending free gift packages in USA only?
[HTC 10 Accessories] KC013:
Not for you.......

I'm Canadian, we don't count. Thanks HTC...... I'll remember next time I buy a new phone.
[HTC 10 Accessories] papashex:
My HTC email that "something green was heading my way" resulted in a translucent bright green tpu case. No "Uh Oh" bag or ball.

It has a really thin / flimsy frame. probably wont last too long.

Hello All -

See the below response from UAG Customer Service when I asked about a case for the Pixel XL.

Here's the link they provided and referred me to: https://urbanarmorgear.com/pages/uag-labs
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] stanleybb50:
Posting these pics of their iPhone version, because... Well... It's kinda similar to the Pixel with the location of the camera.

I had UAG on my:

-Galaxy s3

-Galaxy Note 3

-Galaxy Note 4

-Galaxy Note 5

-Galaxy Note 7

It just doesn't seem right not using a UAG case! They're ideal!
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Amritttt:
Damn i have already requesed(https://urbanarmorgear.com/pages/uag-labs) few days ago i have been checking their website everyday.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] demon510:
I put in a request, love UAG cases.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] stanleybb50:
Awesome - thanks!

280+ views overall is not to shabby.

Hopefully a decent % of these views are going to the site to request a pixel case (if they would intend to buy one if course) :)

https://urbanarmorgear.com/pages/uag-labs

I have a feeling it just won't feel quite right for me if my Pixel doesn't end up in a UAG case.

Haha i emailed them to ask if they are making cover for google pixel xl and got the same reply as the op got and from the same guy[emoji1] [emoji2]
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Hitman3984:
I asked on their FB page, didn't even get a reply like they normally do.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] pepporony:
I never ever saw a case from UAG got made if it wasn't announced the day the phone went live.

They always replied the same shi..
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] stanleybb50:
Good point... I see SUPCASE is making their Unicorn Beetle. That'll have to be my quasi UAG replacement.

I also have the Spigen Rugged one on order, and the Rhinoshield crash guard.

Sounds like a decent selection even without UAG. :)
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] stanleybb50:
If I were a betting man, I'd sadly bet that there will be no UAG case for the Pixel or Pixel XL...
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] stanleybb50:
Update. Looks promising maybe...?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Mike02z:
With the number of Pixel XL's being sold. This makes no sense why they would not make one. They should sell many of these. I have always used UAG cases and will be disappointed if one is not released.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Amritttt:
they made LG v20 cases y not google pixel cases i dont understand
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] stanleybb50:
That was exactly the follow up question I asked them. Haha something like "seriously - you're making one for the v20, but not the Pixel?"

Haha. But point being - it seems possible one will be made.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] nateinva:
When I got the email from UAG announcing the V20 case I about fell out of my chair...same thoughts here. I hope they come around. This is a hugely popular phone and I'd love to slap a UAG on it to match my 12" MacBook.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Zeroflucks:
Made my contribution. we shall see. I have a UAG for my RIP Note 7. Would get one for my Pixel XL.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] demon510:
Lol, have a note 7 uag case as well

Got my clear case today... I love UAG cases, but this one fits funny, there is a pretty noticeable gap at the top near the headphone jack, and fits odd. Just doesn't seem like the normal quality I'm used to with UAG. I'll be returning mine, loved the look of it, just not happy with the fit and case itself. Feels rushed. Oh well just my opinion

I have the xl
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] gwstmar:
Here are some pics of it. I'm really happy that UAG made this case. I have the Ash Plasma on the Quite Black XL. Love how it feels in the hand. The only flaw is where the port for the AUX port is cutout. However I'm not sure I would've noticed it if someone else didn't mention it already. I'll probably get the clear one too, but I'm happy with my choice.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] crygon:
Received mine today, quality isn't what I am used to. I ordered an ash plasma as well. I don't care for the high gloss finish and the fit isn't near as good as some of my previous uag cases. Oh well better than nothing I guess.

I'm very disappointed with the UAG case. I've always loved them but this one seems off. Compared to my Spigen tough armor case the UAG feels bulky and heavy. I tried it for 3 days and decided to go back to my Spigen.

I love UAG cases, my wife has one on her iPhone and had one on her S4 as did I. Just got the UAG for my Pixel XL and I amean a bit disappointed. I think it's a little too thick and the top and bottom seem to show too much metal. The top even seems to bow upwards, showing more metal in the middle than on the edges.

[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] gkl212:
Lots of users have voiced their opinion to the xiaomi forums to improve the camera quality in the Mi Max. It is currently grainy, even in some medium light shots and especially in Miui 8. Has the latest weekly update (dev branch) improved the camera quality for you?

Notes: Despite widespread belief and youtube reviewers saying so, the Mi Max Does NOT have the same back camera as the its more popular cousin, the Redmi note 3 pro. They are completely different camera sensors and you can verify that in the phone's hardware test menu.

I use my Google Voice number for everything. Currently I have to make and receive calls via Hangouts and Hangouts Dialer.

Does anybody know of a way to integrate the Google Voice number into the primary phone? I would rather use the built-in Dialer, similar to Project Fi.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
call your provider, have them change your number to your google voice number? you cant use it other ways. it doesnt provide data, nor have a provider, so youd never be able to use it. if you have data, then you can use it. data doesnt come from the amazing data man.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBrady:
I'm not saying to replace the primary number on my sim card. That's what I use for unlimited data. I just wish there were a way to select which number to use when using the stock dialer - tell it to dial with my GV number instead of sim number. Google Hangouts lets you do that.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanam:
My son does that. Install the Google voice app and set it up such that you use google voice for all calls. It's really quite easy to set up. None of us know remember his carrier number. Only his Google voice number
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBrady:
I totally forgot about the GV app. Yes, this will work. The ONLY downside is the GV app still uses my VZW plan minutes where Hangouts Dialer doesn't (its strictly data). So I have to balance the two since I'm capped to 700 minutes per month, which I rarely use.
