Moto G5S Plus Stuck on Boot / Bootloader Giving Bad Key Error / Soft Brick

My Assumptions

• You have unlocked your BootLoader.
• You have flashed TWRP Recovery.
• You have rooted your Device (Not mandatory).

What's happening ?

• You Flashed Something & now getting Bad key Error & Device not Booting.
• You flashed Boot.img & stuck here now.
• You flashed Custom Kernel & stuck.
• You flashed Stock Firmware & Stuck here.
• You Flashed Rom, everything went well, but still stuck here.

Solution

1. Connect your phone with your Computer.
2. Hold volume down button for 5 seconds & then simultaneously hold power button till it goes to bootloader, now release the buttons.
3. Use volume buttons to navigate to recovery & press power to boot to TWRP recovery.
4. You will see MTP Mode has been Enabled & you can see phone's internal memory.
5. Dowload Latest Magisk Zip & place it in your phone.
6. Now click on Install option of TWRP recovery & install Magisk Zip.
7. Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache, go back & reboot system.
8. Voila, Now Bad Keyy will be replaced by N/A & your device will boot successfully.

For me, it got stuck at Bad keys. And it didn't boot whatever I tried. But after flashing Magisk it changes to N/A & booted instantly. It wasn't same in my case.

There are no quick guides
You need
Computer with fastboot
Stock images for your region/device
Try flashing stock recovery first. If it doesn't work, flash stock images

Calm down if you still have twrp installed
install this one by twrp

before leaving twrp install twrp.img because if you leave without installing will be with recovery of stock

I always do this with this rom when I'm in trouble
