Motorola has been on a roll these past few years, releasing stunning smartphones from time to time. One of its best releases is the Edge Series. This series includes the Moto Edge 40. The offerings by Motorola are active players in custom development and Moto Edge 40 Pro is no different. To root your device, you will need to unlock bootloader.
Then you’ll be able to flash custom ROMs, gain administrative rights, and more. However, this doesn’t come without its risks. One of those risks is getting stuck in a bootloop or soft brick state. To combat that, you’ll need to unbrick Moto Edge 40 Pro.
The best way to unbrick Moto Edge 40 Pro is by using Fastboot Commands. If your device is in this state and you want to unbrick it, then this guide is perfect for you. In this guide, you will get to know how to unbrick Moto Edge 40 Pro using Fastboot Commands.
Steps to unbrick Moto Edge 40 Pro using Fastboot Commands
Step 1: Install Android SDK
Firstly, you’ll need to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. It’s the official ADB and Fastboot binary offered by Google. You’ll need to download it and extract it to a convenient location on your PC.
Step 2: Download Moto Edge 40 Pro firmware
You will have to get hold of the stock firmware for your Moto Edge 40 Pro from a trusted website. Once you’ve downloaded the file, extract the file to the platform-tools folder.
Step 3: Boot your device to Fastboot mode
In most cases, your boot-looped or soft-bricked Moto Edge 40 Pro might already be in the fastboot mode. If you’re stuck in a bootloop, you need to long-press the Power key for turning it off. After that, press and hold the Power + Volume Down keys together for booting your smartphone to Fastboot mode.
If you’re not able to power off your smartphone, allow its battery to drain out. Once it happens, you should connect it to the charger. Once it is about to boot up, use the Power + Volume Up/Down buttons and it’ll boot to Fastboot mode.
