Problem: Stuck in unlocked Bootloader

Hi all,

i am stuck on bootloader and cant get out.

On my PC I have "Minimal ADB and Fastboot"(v. 1.4.2.) installed and after i open a command prompt(admin) and type

- "fastboot devices" my phone is listed as <NR> fastboot

so that works as the only positive thing i can say :D

- "adb reboot", *daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037*

*daemon started successfully*

error: no devices/ emulators found

- "adb reconnect", error: no devices/ emulators found

i am not into the adb commands at all, i am a dummy and i would be so glad if someone could lead me out of my problem.

Maybe a word how i got into there:

1) i installed the minimal adb and fastboot(v1.4.2.)

2) i unlocked the bootloader by doing that over the Motorola UNLOCK Bootloader site

3) then i rooted & Flash Twrp Recovery (twrp-3.1.1-0-cedric)

with "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-cedric.img"

4) first time entered into twrp recovery and i did the following:

A) a factory wipe-> reboot back to recovery mode->

B) install no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1-> reboot and let system start before i turn off phone and enter bootloader(vol down+start) again

C) after entering recovery mode again, i install Magisk-v11.6 -> reboot->

D) now everything seemed to work, the system started properly rooted.

E) but then i decided to flash once again the Magisk-v11.6 followed by wipe data/ factory reset cause i wanted to completly do the flashing all over.

(dont ask me why i did it.. i could explain and tell you my intention but well it happened anyway and brought me to where i am stuck now)

but that was on this move not all yet: i also wipe dalvik cache

so after wipedalvik/ cache , since that moment i couldnt access to my SD Card anymore as it simply didnt show up anymore.

after a restart i was my first time in an endless bootloop of that Screen with "Erasing"(, the letters sourrounded by a spectral colored circle)

i had to disconnect the phone from power . also i tried to remove the battery for a day. but it would only get me back into that bootloop and only get me out by removing the battery...

i dont know anymore what happened then when the phone now got stuck in the bootloader instead of the bootloop. But yea, now i am stuck here, appreciating any help :highfive:
