That's your problem you're still using safestrap. I would suggest uninstalling safestrap recovery and then safestrap the program. From there try pushing twrp from your computer.

Running XT926 with Android 4.1.2.
Rooted it, unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP recovery.
Did a backup, because we all have learned our lessons, and attempted to flash cyanogenmod 10. Didn't work so I did some more research and found that I had to be running SafeStrap, so I installed it and followed directions. Activated rom-slot1 and again attempted to flash cm10. Said it was successful but when I tried to reboot it said that there was no OS flashed. Rebooted anyways and went continued passed the SafeStrap splash screen and the screen was blank for 20 mins, finally gave up and restarted it.
What am I missing and can you provide links.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Knew I didn't like Motorola and Verizon for a reason.

You hate Moto because you cant follow directions? Typical. If you unlocked your bootloader they you shouldnt be running SafeStrap. You should be using TWRP or CWM for the developer edition.
Flash TWRP again.
ADB push a ROM to your phone.
Flash ROM.
Enjoy life.
You will have to unlock the bootloader to flash most Roms available for RAZR Hd... Because all the Roms for HD out there are for unlocked bootloader... Or try to find the ROM which is compatible for safe strap...

I need help trying to get back to the way it was. the bootloader is unlock, the phone will boot but here is the trouble 1. it will not do a factory reset, 2. the wireless is disabled, 3. no google apps are installed. I have used teamwin to format everything and do a install but it just updates the already installed programs. I have tried carbon and all the vers. of cm10. I also tried fastboot to install the img files. I used fastboot to format the phone all of this doesn't help. I been trying for 3 days to get back and I am getting nowhere. I need help bad.

I can format bthe cashe, data and system in in teamwin but the phone will boot back into the os
Have you tried a different recovery - like cwm? It may make a difference.
Well cm 10 is based on 4.1 and those are 4.2 gapps I believe.

I had a ton of problems with my phone when I first got it. I was using twrp but when I fastbooted and started over with cwm (oudhs version) everything went much better. Idk why but that was my experience. So I suggest trying to switch recoveries like someone else suggested.

I am unable to flash the cwm recovery or twrp also a new kernel. It takes a long time to get pasted the screen "bootloader is unlocked". Again the wifi and blue tooth are not working. the wifi when going to the advanced menu shows that region code is Europe. Changed to USA closed and reopen and it is back to Europe. Is the bootloader causing all this???? ow can I see what is in the bootloader and edit it?
Have I got everyone stumped on this problem?

I've been flashing ROMs, recoveries etc for years on every android device I've had, from Samsung to nexus, HTC. Everything. This is my first Motorola and I'm having a lot of problems.
Unlocked the boot loader, flashed TWRP but wouldn't backup my stock ROM so put on Pholz recovery and it wouldn't backup either.
Tried to install C-Rom after the usual wipes and just sticks at boot screen. Tried Tweakone ROM I think its called and same problem.
Any ideas? I have the XT1032
I know about restoring to factory but what I'm asking is, is there anything specific I'm doing wrong? I'm quite an experienced flasher. Research is showing me how to recover the phone but what's gonna stop it happening again

A lot of users report issues not being able to flash rom's on 4.4.2 kitkat.
A fix is to downgrade to 4.3, then flash roms.
I dont know why. I bought my device upgraded to 4.4.2 already, and i can flash roms with no issues.
Search the forum for the topic and you will find the info you need.

It wont backup saying what error?
Twrp just said 'failed' in red writing after the data backup I think. And philz touch said something along the lines of Not being able to write a file into the \clockworkmod folder.
I bought the device with 4.4.2 on it and followed the guides after reading up about the problems etc but TWRP 2.7.0.0 had a lot of reports that everything was working on it so went ahead with it
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Ya that's strange because philz works great for me. Do you have a USB otg to try an external backup?
Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk
I got the phone booted again by following a guide and flashing a stock rom.
Installed Philz recovery again and still getting the backup error. it says: E: Error while backing up boot image!
So understandably i am now scared to flash another rom in case i get a boot loop again.
*update* Strangely i flashed TWRP via CWM, rebooted into TWRP 2.7.0.0 and performed a backup successfully.

Why dont you use Clockwork mod recovery for flashing Rom. I have flashed 10 Roms with that and all are backed up with out any problems. TWRP has no official support for moto g, and instead of all that why don't you try Cyanogenmod ?
(sorry if my english is not perfect)
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem with my XT1032.
Bootloader unlocked, CWM (6.0.4.7) successfully installed and backup done with no issues.
But custom roms won't load...
CM11 is stuck at "bootloader unlocked warning screen" and SlimKat is stuck at slimkat logo.
I never had such problems on my Nexus..
Please help me, I don't know what's going on

Same here. It may be possible to downgrade to 4.3 (see here), but would it then be possible to flash a 4.4.2-based custom ROM ? I'm not sure.
Heres the steps I took.
*******Before device was stuck at bootloop*******
1. Bought phone (XT1032)
2. unlocked boot loader
3. Rooted
4. Flashed Philz Recovery (wouldn't backup rom)
5. Flashed TWRP and CWM with same issue.
6. Flashed 2 ROMs to try it (TweakyOne + C-Rom, Both wouldn't boot. and tried on all recoveries.
********Steps after being stuck at bootloop*******
1. Followed this amazing guide here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laU6NQ0LxR0)
2. Set up the stock ROM again
3. Flashed TWRP 2.7.0.0 via Fastboot
4. Backup worked successfully
5. installed CM11 and setup successfully
6. installed Lego rom just to assure myself (currently running this ROM)
I know this is no solution at all but just wanted to share my steps to see what maybe fixed my phone. possibly the stock 4.2.2 rom I flashed was the solution. Maybe the original factory ROM that came on the phone was the issue?
ok. is it even possible to have two recoveries running at once? On normal boot-up, I get the safestrap screen asking to continue or enter recovery. I have flashed TWRP and I can get to TWRP by fastbooting and entering recovery that way. I feel i have set myself up to brick in the hard sense. I just unlocked w/ sunshine and am trying to make a backup before i really start screwing stuff up.
If you're unlocked with TWRP then safestrap is redundant since you can't utilize the extra ROM slots.

that was kind of my thoughts too. I did remove safestrap manually. Im still tying to update with the latest OTA, but with no luck. thanks.

The update isn't going through because you have TWRP installed. Flash to stock recovery and try again.
Sorry I left that out, I have removed TWRP. I have returned to as stock as I can. Flashed back to factory. Still no success on OTA update. Im hunting for the files now and i will hopefully flash it myself.

its a first gen US boost mobile moto g xt1031. it is boot-loader unlocked and rooted. currently has twrp recovery and had cwm. i have never been able to flash any rom either from side-load or from internal or external sd. about a month ago i started having trouble restoring backups and now a few days ago it wont let me make a backup either. it gets stuck when it comes to restoring or backing up the data partition. beforehand i had no problems with backups. when i got the phone almost a year ago i didn't have any trouble boot-loader unlocking and rooting it. i am currently using lubuntu with the android sdk installed and my phone is recognized in adb and fastboot. i have been rooting and flashing android since my hd2 days and i never had this problem. i have tried several different boost moto g roms and none of them will boot. i just get boot loops. i have tried 4.4.2 4.4.4 and 5.0 roms. none will boot up. can anyone help me out with any ideas of whats wrong? debugging is on and again it is rooted boot-loader unlocked running twrp and recognized on my computer with adb and fastboot. thanks.
I am having the exact same issue. I first flashed BlissPop onto the device, and immediately ran into boot loops. I flashed a CM nightly for the 1031, same issue, and now even a stock rom does nothing but boot loops.
i have been trying to run cm since last july. im almost to the point that i dont even want this phone anymore. ive never had this problem with any other phone. i hope someone can help us. the only thing i can flash is recovery. but thats pretty much pointless since i can flash a rom or create or restore a backup. the old backup i have fails when it comes to date but it will boot. i just have to start from the beginning every time.
Yeah man, I've been through everything I typically do for rescues like this one, nothing has worked. Stock ROMs bootloop as well, which is just strange. I'm starting to think I killed the parition table on the phone itself.
