We currently can't flash any recovery (except for stock) on the 4.4 bootloader. If you want to use CWM or TWRP, you'll need to downgrade to the 4.3 bootloader first, or wait until we have working recoveries on 4.4 BL for our MotoG's.

Hi when I rooted and tried to flash twrp I soft bricked my phone and when I Odin back to stock a flashed safestrap I rebooted and on the boot screen it showed an unlocked lock with the word custom below it. So doesn't that mean that my bootloader is unlocked?

It doesn't, that custom padlock is known to show up on completely stock firmware. It's not really an indicator of much of anything.

Hello xda
Title says it all. I have unlocked my bootloader without a problem, I have tried every single way to root the moto G and have had no luck now.
I've tried the super boot methods 1 & 2
#1 the .bat file works and says its complete but upon a reboot of the phone super su is no were to be seen and have no root access. Tried about 7-8 times.
Method 2 apparently works correctly and gives me the hab recovery error but when I click the recovery option in bootloader to progress it just boots me out and boots up the phone or takes me into the recovery screen saying no commands.
I'm running 4.4.2 with unlocked bootloader what other options are available? Cheers

Slight problem after finally gaining root.
I can't get any custom ROM to boot up? They just hang at the boot logos. Could someone please help. Thankyou

Likely need to do some wiping... What partitions did you wipe when you installed the ROM?
Try wiping cache and dalvik should fix it

Flash a custom recovery and install SuperSU with a ZIP file
Hello I have a chinese opo with cm11s installed.Whenever I run bootloader unlock it says time taken 0.00 sec
okay.Now Im not sure maybe the seller has unlocked the boot loader. Is there a way to know before flashing custom recovery?Thanks.Will flashing custom recovery on locked bootloader will brick my device?
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No it will not brick your phone. If your phone's bootloader is locked, it will simply not let you flash a custom recovery. If its unlocked, then it'll flash the custom recovery.
Ensure that update CM recovery in developer options is disabled (to enable the menu, tap build # 10 times in about phone and then go back into developer options)
Thanks it worked,I was right it was already unlocked

that guy used cwm... it seems that that recovery caused his brick.
i think you should use twrp or philz one...
I flashed miui ROM coming from purity to test it, but now I'm not able to restore my backup because I can't access to cwm.. On the bootloader page it says that now my bootloader is locked.. Why? And what I have to do now?

Watching better I saw that my BL is unlocked still.. So I guess that I just have to reflash cwm @adb right ?

if you go to the android laying on its back, that's the stock recovery. all you have to do is flash a custom recovery, i recommend the twrp recovery, not cwm.
I'll second the recommendation for installing TWRP instead of CWM. It's a much nicer interface overall.
Are you rooted? If so you could install BootLoader from Play, press unlock, and then flash a custom recovery to restore your backup.
Use an app called "Flashify" to flash either recoveries mentioned. Super easy

I have unlocked boot loader, but when I flash twrp through command prompt it works that one time I boot into recovery from boot loader but afterwards it reverts back to stock recovery. Any help would be appreciated!

What worked for me is to flash TWRP 2.8.1.0 in fastboot and after booting up flash 2.8.2.0 with Flashify.

Thanks! So what you suggest is to flash 2.8.1.0 flash the new beta of superuser, then flash the new version through flashify?

Thats what did it for me
If you delete /system/etc/recovery-from-boot.bak (or similar) the recovery should stick also when flashing via fastboot and using TWRP 2.8.1.0
