recently my moto 5g stylus (xt2131-1) got stuck on something like a boot loop, it would start up and freeze on the needlessly animated moto logo. i exhausted the recovery options and was forced to factory reset to un-brick it loosing (possibly up to 100>/ 250gb) data. hoping that like a micro sd card there might still be 'ghost copies' of the data i plugged it into laptop and tried laptop recovery softwares (tried w/ wo usb debugging on), which failed to discover anything. then at the risk of corrupting the 'ghost data' reluctantly installed and ran android recovery apps which only detected new files intentionally-deleted to test their capabilities. im unaware of any other options other than to root my phone in an attempt to have it recognized by my laptop as another external hard drive to scan for 'ghost files'...aside from the handfull of recovery apps no new data was written over the (original data). ANYONE KNOWLEGEABLE IN ROOTING AND RECOVERY ANY HEADS UP OF WHETHER OR NOT THAT'LL WORK WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

Well, I got the error.
My I tried to turn wifi on the toggle stayed blue and wouldn't connect. I restarted it and was greeted with security error.
I tried LG Mobile Support tool, but it seems my computer can't recognize the phone via USB at all. Yes, I have the correct drivers.
This phone has the <3e> recovery, but I don't have file to perform an update from. The L70 is the same phone, and people have a working recovery on that. Is there anything I can do?
Hi there, @[color=Green][u]vwnut13[/color][/u],
This forum, About xda-developers, is the location for people to post and make threads about the XDA Developers website itself. It is not a place to ask device-related questions.
Therefore, I'd like to redirect you to ask your question in either the Android Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting forum or the general Questions and Answers forum. There will be people there who can help you.
Thanks.
Hey colleagues,
I've a hardware device (no phone) that includes some kind of a MediaTek tablet with a MT8167 and Android 8.1 installed on it.
Currently I try to enable ADB in order to intercept some network traffic flows with custom apps I'd like to install.
Unfortunately the device is running a System.User App with no chance to escape.
I was able to dump the entire memory including all partitions. Then I tried to change the default props (adb enable, etc...) in the img and did a re-flash. The device boots into safe mode - but is stuck there.
I've seen that dm-verity is enabled / Android Verified 1.0 (not 2.0). So I tried to magisk on another arm Device and updated the boot.img. Unfortunately that lead to an ininite boot loop.
Do you guys have any other ideas?
I've physical access to the device and I am able to flash images back to the device.
Any help would be appreciated.

So my company sent me a VR headset for development. I tried to update it, but upon doing so, it produced an error and bricked the VR headset. The customer support isn't helping at all, so I'm thinking of just flashing it myself (I'm new to this,).
I tried doing a factory reset, but it only showed me "No command" and reboots again. It has no SD card, and ADB can't recognize the device. The bootloader says it's locked, so I'm pretty sure it's almost impossible for me to crack it. The OS is available on the website, but again, it's almost impossible for me to replace the OS without the SD card and having it recognized by ADB.
If it's not possible to flash it, is there anything interesting I could do with it?

when it boots up click power and vol up on the no command screen. then factory data reset and see if it will work . if not. let me know drivers dont exist for this headset for adb sideload updating so ya.
try using a usb c to usb c adaptor try putting the zip on the root of the sd or usb drive if not try making a file and call it dload.

where i can find adb drivers for Pico Vr neo 3?

they really dont exist because of what pico is using they are using old nexus 5 drivers for the pico recovery. and that is terrible. the best thing to do is download and install ubuntu on a spare pc. once its on the spare pc you will need to setup adb there. ince you have adb there you can run the normal adb sideload in recovery.
fyi you have 2 different kinds of headsets this is why it may or maynot fail at recovery.
pico has oem and non oem firmware and lucky we have access to this on the pico 3 website where the downloads are. the pico 3 pro on there is non oem firmware and the pico 3 link is oem firmware.
the best thing to do after this or if you need more help find my you tu be channel and contact me there i hardly check xda
Hey y'all I hope that it is okay that I am posting this here (if not my apologies and please move or delete the thread).
So I have a Moto G Pure TracFone variant (i.e. locked bootloader and such) and it somehow got into a bootloop I guess it would be considered. The phone starts up but quickly restarts or reboots once the message saying com.android.phone has stopped. It does this even in Safe Mode. I'm curious what are my options if any to preserve the phones contents (back it up, photos/videos/etc.)
I hope that I'm not being to vague and any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Edit: I'm on the latest firmware.

It's likely a factory reset will fix the problem.
If you haven't turned on USB debugging before in developers options you cannot backup anything.
You might be able to reflash the firmware but it can be tricky with the locked bootloader.

USB Debugging is for sure on, and I was hoping not to lose any of my personal data/files, but if so, so be it. Thank you for your help it is appreciated. This should be fun.
i installed lsexposed magisk module which sent fine but then i installed Xposed-Disable-FLAG_SECURE_2.0.0.apk that caused the bootloop
i tried getting my phone into lineage safe mode (holding down volume button) i dont know if this is hte correct way to achieve it but i didnt get into a safe mode
and for some reason on 2 laptops i've tried (lenovo t480 ubuntu 22.04.2 and Lenovo t14 gen 1 ubuntu 23.04) i couldnt connect to adb when i enabled adb in lineage recovery
anyone have any suggestions? im pretty desperate because i really dont want to reinstall
