If your Moto G5s goes flat there isn't enough charge to boot phone. The phone will boot then shut down & you cant charge it.

To fix
1 Plug in USB charger
2 Hold Vol- ( lower volume button) & power button for 10 seconds or so
3 Now you should boot into Command prompt recover mode. ( see pic of Android bot with his panel open & text beneath him,
4 Look at text. Look for line that states Battery ok (charging) if this is green then phone is charging.
5 Wait 30 minutes or so, you should by now have at-least 10% charge in phone. ( wont show until you start phone)
6 select with volume control buttons option on right near buttons for power & volume, the option Start.

Now phone should boot.

7 leave on charger until phone charged
