If we turn our attention towards custom development, then though it might not be among the most active players, but is still quite popular nevertheless. Be it the likes of flashing custom ROMs, installing a custom recovery, or gaining administrative privileges, there’s a lot to look forward to. However, testing out these tweaks could also result in things going south and a softbrick or bootloop is always on the cards. But even if that happens, you could easily unbrick your Motorola Edge 20 via Fastboot Commands. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.
How to Unbrick Motorola Edge 20 via Fastboot Commands
Do note that the below process requires an unlocked bootloader. If your device is in a bricked state, then the bootloader might already be unlocked. However, if your device is in a perfectly working condition, then make sure to unlock the bootloader beforehand. For that, you may refer to our guide on How to Unlock Bootloader on any Motorola Device. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
STEP 1: Install Android SDK
First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.
STEP 2: Download Stock Firmware
Next up, download the stock firmware for your device from a trusted third-party site. Once downloaded, extract all the files inside the platform-tools folder.
STEP 3: Boot Bricked Motorola Edge 20 to Fastboot Mode
In most cases, a soft-bricked or boot looped device might already be in the Fastboot Mode. However, if you are stuck in a bootloop, then long-press the Power key to turn it off. Then press and hold the Power and Volume Down keys (or Power and Volume Up) together to boot your device to Fastboot Mode.
However, if you are unable to power off the device, then let its battery drain out. Once that happens, connect it to the charger. Then as soon as it is about to boot up, use the Power and Volume Up/Down keys and it will straightaway boot to Fastboot Mode.
STEP 4: Unbrick Motorola Edge 20 via Fastboot Commands
The last command should automatically boot your device to the OS. And so with that, we round off the guide on how you could unbrick your Motorola Edge 20 via Fastboot Commands.
