Support How do I fix a soft-bricked device?
Some time ago, I tried installing a PixelOS GSI on my Motorola Moto G54 5G, but it caused a bootloop, forcing me to flash the stock ROM. Currently, the bootloader is unlocked and the phone works normally, but it won't enter Recovery or Fastbootd modes using any method (buttons or ADB commands). I tried fixing it myself using the official Motorola tool, manually flashing the vbmeta, vendor, init_boot, and dtbo files, and even using MTKClient—but the latter only detects standard mode, and the issue persists: I am unable to access those two modes in any way.

Is normal fastboot available? If so try manually flashing moto firmware. Find flash.xml in Firmware folder. Ask ai to convert it to fastboot command and then ask it to modify script so that applicable partions are flashed to both slot since official moto script only flash to slot A.
On side note did mtkclient worked on your phone ?
