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.

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.
