Okay, so I was on the Unofficial MIUI, and I tried flashing CM10.. (bad idea, I know)
So, I tried FXZing back to the ICS leak. No dice, just stuck on the Motorola Dual Core logo. Any thoughts?
Thank you.

You need to do it the manual way:

The other link you were given is known to have some issues at the moment. Give the link I posted here a try and read the whole thread before trying any of it, because it is a pia and can be menacing at first look, but if you follow it to a t, I promise it will help you out, several others have resurrected their phone from that procedure.

Hi all,
After flashng several recoveries and ROMs yesterday, my MOTO G 8GB XT1032 (GER) has no WiFi any more.
I can nor turn it on, even if I use the slider for that. After some seconds it goes to OFF again.
I have tried to flash stock 4.4.2 German retail. Rom works perfect, but no WiFi.
What can I do?
I think while flashing, I have overwritten some settings...
Please help a frustrated stupid from Germany....
Edit: What I did and what might be important:
In CWM Touch I formated all what is formatable. Also "none". I thought, that my new installation will be "cleaner".
Thank you all so much in advance!!!!
Maybe there is a ROM I can flash that brings WiFi back?
Is there a way to restore the phone to factory regarding the partitions and relevant files?
How did you flash 4.4.2?
Directly 4.4.2. Stock? Or first 4.3 and then update to 4.4.2?
If 4.4.2 then like this?
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

Thank you.I will give that a try, too.
I flashed from 4.4.2 GPE to CM11 unofficial and back again.
Something during these steps went wrong...
In recovery I did some stupid formating and wifi was gone.
After my "cool action" I tried flashing nearly every ROM I cold get. No success...
If you really wanna thank me, then hit thanks

Hey,
So I've been searching for a few days now in the moto g section. I can't find any guides to restore my moto g GPE US version to stock. I found somewhat of walkthrough using the moto tool but I dont' have a windows machine to run that program. Is there another way to do this? Please let me know, also if I missed a post that shows this info please reply with the link.
Thank you!
If you don't have a Windows machine, it'd be good if we knew what you do have in order to guide you properly.
Flashing back to stock on Linux is quite easy once you've got the tools set up. I would assume MacOS X is similar provided you can get a suitable fastboot or mfastboot binary. (I recommend having them in a directeory listed in your $PATH variable with proper permissions for USB so that you don't need to sudo to use them.)
If you've got no computer, but can boot in a modified recovery, it should be possible to flash the entire stock ROM with that. You wouldn't be able to relock the bootloader though, if that's something you were aiming for.

If you are on MAC or linux I suppose you have fastboot installed! If not get it installed from here
Now To restore your phone to stock download this firmware.
After Downloading! Extract the firmware. cd to the directory of extraction.
Use the script in the attachement to restore your phone.
OR
Enter these commands manually
Code:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
You will need the path to fastboot to be added in path variable!
OMG!!!! thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
Worked like a charm, I was flipping out trying to figure this out b4 I had to work, your a life saver!!! Btw is there any downside to this process, like can I re-lock the boot loader and is it still possible to get OTA updates?
OTA updates work regardless of whether your bootloader is unlocked or not.
It's root and other changes to the /system partition that'd prevent such updates from working.

No no downsides
You can re-lock the bootloader
And you will get OTA updates as well, even if your bootloader is unlocked!
Just have stock recovery

Are you using regular fastboot or mfastboot (Motorola's modified fastboot)? I believe you need to use mfastboot because Motorola is now exceeding the Google's standard size on some of it's partitions, meaning flashing with the standard fastboot will cause issues. This is the reason Motorola created mfastboot.
Hi,
after an apparently failed attempt to install the 5.0 OTA update my XT1032 now will boot to a droid lying on its back.
I went to the recovery from there (by pressing VolUp+Power) and did the "factory reset/wipe data" and rebooted.
Same result.
I did "wipe chache". Same result: Droid lying on its back, saying "Kein Befehl" (I guess that means "no command")
I can get into recovery mode (CWM was installed before all this*) so I could try to flash stuff from outside.
But what should I try to flash? I tried flashing a (supposedly) stock system but as soon as I start with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the phone starts booting again. So I am not really sure what to do now.
Something is seriously wrong with this phone and I would like to restore it to stock settings. I bought it on amazon.DE - so if any one of you guys knows where I could find a truly original stock image for this phone and what to do with it, please let me know.
PS: Right now I can't even get into recovery anymore. The thing just keeps booting and booting. Can't even turn it off.
* meaning: before I flashed the supposed stock recovery that apparently, in combination with the OTA update, got me into this mess
I now followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47820707#post47820707
I used option 3b with a 4.4.4 rom ( RETAIL-DE_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF )
I excuted all these commands. However, upon flashing the boot.img the phone immediately boots (and gets stuck).
So I re-entered fastboot again to finish the job. Everything else went fine.
But the problem persists: When booting, the phone now displays the "Warning: Bootloader unlocked" message for a long time, with a kind of water ripple effect from bottom to top, repeating.
When I switch it off, it switches back on automatically, trying to boot and getting stuck at this screen. Sometimes I get to the droid lying on its back with a red !-Triangle on top. Poor little bugger. Soft bricked.
What can I do to fix this?
I can still enter fastboot.
I assume that yet again I grabbed the wrong ROM.
Is this supposed to be dead? http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
I think you might be on lollipop bootloader as you are having a screen flickering issue & downgrading the boatloader might be dangerous.
I'm don't know whether it will solve your problem but try flashing a lollipop firmware.
I'm not allowed to post links. Google for XT 1032 lollipop firmware. I saw one in groupandroid website.
Download the firmware from the site & execute the given commands.

Thank you. I got that file.
"adb devices" won't find my phone, though.
"Fastboot devices" does. So I can't use "adb push ..." to move the ROM to the phone.
Also, whatever option I chose from the Fastboot Flash Mode, the phone starts to boot. So I can not "enter" Recovery.
Should I just use "fastboot update rom.zip"? I don't wan't to miss my last chance to revive this phone.
ADB commands will not work in with the phone fastboot mode.
Since fastboot commands do work, you can manually flash each partition from the stock ROM. Entering recovery isn't required to do this.

The problem here is that the phone will boot as soon as I flash the boot.img and the whole thing fails.
Do you see a way out of this situation?
Any way to do this with a .zip ROM?
Have you tried flashing different firmware such as the GPE for your phone?
Does boot.img flash properly? If it does, you could try installing TWRP, boot into TWRP, mount the data partition, and use your computer to copy a custom ROM to the phone fpr flashing.
@Fretchen
That might be because you are on lollipop bootloader & you are trying to flash kitkat bootloader?But I may be wrong. Previously you told that you tried restoring to kitkat & that boot.img is kitkat bootloader. Try with this lollipop firmware.

I now did exactly what legolas06 wrote, using "MoeMoe_BRASIL_XT1032_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28_cid12_CFC.xml"
There were "hab check fails" for recovery and boot but at least the device did not reboot upon flashing the boot.img.
I rebooted it and it is going further than ever before, all the Motorola animations were played but in the end the phone got stuck at the circular blue pool (water) with the bit Motorola 'M' plus the concentric water ripple effect.
I switched it off and on again and then it played through the animations, then updated the apps (total number: 9) and then started the system. Apparently it is working.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate your support.
Allow me thse final questions:
Can I from now on just apply OTA updates?
If not, what can I change to make this possible?
Is it advisable to install a EU Rom soon for whatever reason?

You flashed the stock firmware so everything should work again. OTA updates if available would work.

I don't know if you can apply OTA updates. Before the OTA update will work, you may need to update all Motorol apps via Play store.
You could wait until a fulkl stock lollipop pop is released for your phone and flash it using fastboot.
You can try different ROMs but stick to the ROMs made for your model. I have an xt1032 and I have installed US Retail, stock Telus, and GPE.
worked for me too, thank you soo much. give this solution a try

This is the newest (at least at the time of post) update, dated Oct 1, 2018
Instructions to revert back to stock firmware and make it so that you can get OTA updates again:
To install, extract the zip file in your adb/fastboot directory and then make sure you are properly connected to your computer by running the command
Code:
fastboot devices
Then, once you confirm you are properly connected, just run the following fastboot commands one line at a time, making sure spelling is correct (or copying and pasting to ensure proper spelling):
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
After this is complete, simply reboot your device, and as long as you did everything right, you should be back on stock firmware with the ability to receive OTA updates.
Flashing a stock recovery,unencrypting your phone, or rooting will make OTA fail, so i recommend waiting to do those things until you are fully updated (unless you don't care about the latest build).
Just to cover my ass, i had nothing to do with the making of these files and I am simply posting well known information for newer users to help them get back to stock.
Therefore, i claim no responsibility for any damage or bricking of your device.
Have a good day friends and if I helped you out, a 'thanks' would be appreciated :good:

After this is complete, simply reboot your device, and as long as you did everything right, you should be back on stock firmware with the ability to receive OTA updates.
Flashing a stock recovery,unencrypting your phone, or rooting will make OTA fail, so i recommend waiting to do those things until you are fully updated (unless you don't care about the latest build).
Just to cover my ass, i had nothing to do with the making of these files and I am simply posting well known information for newer users to help them get back to stock.
Therefore, i claim no responsibility for any damage or bricking of your device.
Have a good day friends and if I helped you out, a 'thanks' would be appreciated :good:

I keep getting unsecured network... Is this an issue from my end?
How do you backup IMEI in TWRP?
EFS?
Mine won't mount data for backup and cache in red
Or should I do it another way?
I have XT1924-2 AND I TOO HAVE IMEI=0 ANY FIXES?
Thank you!
This was very helpful, thanks!

That's a weird Necro-Response. Also updating doesn't fix IMEI, (even though this was over a year ago, they would need an IMEI flasher and the box/numbers found somewhere else)
