Hey guys, I've successfully unlocked the bootloader on my XT1040 running android 4.4.4
The problem is I cannot seem to get TWRP or CWM recovery to work.
I've flashed:
openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-xt1032
recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-falcon
TWRP-2.7.0.0-falcon
twrp-2.7.1.0-peregrine-201407161845
and every time I select recovery it says
"no command"
so I hold volume up for 10-15 seconds and then tap power and I get the menu no problem
then I try to flash SuperSU and I get an error "installation aborted"
I can't seem to get to TWRP or CWM recovery.
What am I doing wrong here?
I get the exact same thing on my Moto G LTE (xt1040)
There is a tutorial, if you google Moto g lte root. It will help you fastboot the TWRP (twrp-2.7.1.0-peregrine-201407161845.img is what I used)
And from there DONT REBOOT from your fresh recovery install because it will be gone. Flash the SU Zip and install root.
After that, reboot and you'll have root access but if you try to enter recovery it will give you NO COMMAND.
That's all I could figure out for now.
Ill try and walk you through this how I did it:
....haha actually let me just like the XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/newb-friendly-guide-to-rooting-moto-g-t2793895
If anyone else knows of a working recovery pls let me know :\
am i blind?
Thank you so much, I figured out how to get TWRP recovery to work. Only problem is, I wiped the whole damn phone, (I was trying to put the Moto G CyanogenMod 11)
Now I have to find the damn firmware to put it back on, Guess i was tired and stupid when i wiped the whole damn thing instead of the cache. Firmware i'm looking for if anyone has it is for Fido 4.4.4
XT1040 Working Recoveries

Im just trying to help because I've lost hours searching by working recoveries.
Hi all. I own a Moto G xt1032 UK version. (GSM right?)
I was on 4.4.4 Epsilon ROM but I wanted to flash stock 4.4.4, so I used a tutorial I found on youtube that set me up to stock 4.4.2, then I upgraded to 4.4.4 and THEN there was another update to 5.0.1. So as you can guess, I upgraded to lollipop and that was it - bootloop. I have tried flashing other roms through fastboot and nothing worked, I get an error when I flash ''system'' that says ''image is too large'' once all is done, phone restarts and its stuck on bootloop once again. The bootlogo changes when I flash different rom etc. But I don't know what to do, any ideas? :/ I have also tried to flash a custom recovery and sideload the Epsilon ROM but I only get an error in my command line that says no device connected after I hit the command. Any suggestions guys? I appreciate any sort of help, thanks guys.
I'll also add that I think I have the 41.18 bootloader if it helps (it says so in the bootloader settings)
When flashing a ROM in fastboot, are you also flashing the gpt file?
Yeah. I flash everything there's to flash as all tutorials instruct.
To try and get your phone up and running, flash a custom recovery from fastboot. Once the recovery image has been flashed, use the phone's volume buttons to boot into recovery. If you can get into recovery, try and flash a custom ROM.
Ah, I forgot to add. When I attempt to flash anything from my storage it says some sort of error coun't mount /sdcard and others when the recovery opens up. I tried flashing other recoveries, TWRP, CWM both show the exact same errors..Can't mount SDcard etc. :/ That is why I tried the sideload method which didn't work for me either.
You're flashing recovery for the falcon?
Yes..for falcon. I've done it a bunch of times before, however I never had the unable to mount error in the recovery..
I don't have my moto g on me but I found Philz Touch (based on CWM) worked besr for me after i switched back from GPE to CM12. I was getting weird error messages in TWRP.
Hi,
I'm new to the Android community and I was making some improvements in my XT1039. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the Retail 5.1 for the XT1040 model. It was running fine, then I removed the bootloader unlocked warning and still fully functional. Also, I've flashed the TWRP recovery and everything was smooth. Then I tried to perform the root and I couldn't initialize my phone anymore. But I still could access the TWRP recovery. Then I started wiping to try to solve the problem, but the thing is that now my phone has no OS and can not initialize. It stops while in the Motorola loading screen.
I can fastboot, access the TWRP recovery and all, but there's no OS and my computer doesn't recognize my phone. while connect through the USB cable.
Is it possible to recover the phone? I was thinking that the solution would be to flash another firmware to the phone, but itsn't working.
Could anybody help me? It must have an alternative to fix it, I couldn't figure it out yet. Can you?
Thank you in advance
Yeah.. My computer didnt seem to recognise my phone either.. But it did get connected actually. There's some option deep inside control panel, where you can see what devices are attached to your computer. I will suggest you to go for a data wipe and install a fresh rom. Install via sideload, as you can access recovery, it shouldn't be a problem. Rom can be directly installed from pc to your phone, it case it doesnt have a rom, I believe. Google how to sideload using mfastboot

Or attach a pendrive with rom using USB otg cable

Fastboot flash the latest 5.1 factory firmware image for your phone - if available. Follow the tutorial linked in the first post. Note; it's very dangerous to flash incorrect firmware images.

Thank you for the replies. The following video has helped me solve the related issue, in case someone is in this situation.

I received a boot looped moto G from a friend and what infuriates me is that no matter what I do, nothing changes on the phone. NOTHING. Flash new recovery? Old one is still there. Flashed new modem, radio, boot images, boot logo [OKAY] and more yet it's as if the phone never budged. I wiped /data /system /cache too.
Not recognized on ADB
Recognized on mfastboot
Boots to recovery
Bootloader Unlocked
Any ideas what the issue is?
1.Which recovery have you tried ?? Before flashing new recovery have you erased the old one ("fastboot erase recovery <recovery name> " ). Have you tried twrp latest version by h2o ??
2. While flashing new rom, does recovery shows any error ??
3. Have you checked your partition ?? They may be corrupted..

Facing the same problem here
I had dropped my Moto G in water accidentaly. After reviving it I was welcomed to CM12.1 with continuous error messages (process.com.xyz has stopped). So i decided to flash stock ROM and update my recovery while at it. But afer doing the necessary operations successfully I am greeted back to the same corrupted OS. Not 1 bit of data is changed. Please suggest a solution someone.
You can try flashing CM via TWRP again, this may cause the OS to boot correctly. However, generally emmc corruption can never be cured.
My Moto G (XT1033) 1st Gen with stock lollipop has stuck in a boot loop.
I am still able to go in to recovery mode. Have tried clearing cache, but that didn't seem to work.
I don't have CWM installed it's pure android as stock have installed updates only through OTAs.
Have googled about it and many are stating that a factory reset will solve the issue. But I don't want to lose data in the phone.
Main reason for the boot loop could be App as I use beta versions of Facebook, Whatsapp and Nova launcher from apkmirror.
What can be done to recover data or just get this boot loop fixed?
P.S: My device is not rooted and does not have any CWM or TWRP recovery.
I have got exactly the same issue yesterday itself. It was working fine, even received a call after which it was placed on a table. Picked up a few moments later & it was switched off. After that, whenever i'm trying to turn it on, its stuck on the M Logo - Powered by Android i.e Bootloop.
My phone was full stock and totally untouched as well. There weren't any apps installed from sources apart from Play Store. I'm able to access the stock recovery and tried clearing the cache but no respite. Whenever i try to factory format that, it gives an error of e:/could't mount /cache/recovery/xxxxxxxx errors.
I had read the forums for similar issues and got to know from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/moto-g-bootup-problem-recovery-mode-t3122492. The issue is cent percent same apart from the fact that i can access stock recovery.
Maybe @ravibhat & @lost101 can help us in this. I'm not worried about getting the data but bringing the phone back to life is more important for me !! Please help.

oh okay mate. I have been googling for such issue but the mostly suggested method is reset that I haven't done (not to lose data). Will wait for a day if I get any solution otherwise will reset it.
Let me know what happened to your phone. Hope it gets fixed soon
okay so here's the update. Was successful to take backup as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426426
And made factory reset after that but now it is still getting stuck on bootloop with M logo and powered by android screen. :crying:
I gave my phone to the service center guys today for reflashing the firmware. They were unable to do and suggested a motherboard replacement for which i obviously refused as they asked for ~INR 8000 as charges. So will start experimenting with it now and hope so i'm able to bring back to life.
What i'm planning is:
1. Flash Custom Recovery.
2. Wipe entire phone.
3. Flash stock ROM.
Will keep updating if i'm able to manage anything
EDIT : Did everything mentioned above but the phone is having same fate as before @krunalshah68. It gets stuck on the M Logo :crying: The internal memory although is being shown as 5xxx MB in TWRP unlike 0 Mb earlier.
Unlock Bootloader (if not already done) and flash twrp - mfastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Alternatively you can boot into twrp without flashing: mfastboot boot twrp.img
Download twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2980621
Then via PC, do the following wipe: (requires working ADB setup - google it)

Thank you for you reply mate. :good:
I have somehow managed to backup data by script. but the problem is now even after resetting it is still stuck into bootloop.
But I am a bit confused here in steps.
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Flash custom recovery like TWRP and clear dalvik cache
3) and then flash any custom rom
correct me if I am wrong. I am going to follow these steps. @lost101
Phone started! yeeey!
So heres the update bro @BBThumbHealer.
Unlocked bootloader.
Flashed TWRP.
Cleared cache/dalvik cache/data.
Flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/nx-nexus-experience-rom-10-0-3-ambient-t3268555/
And device is working smooth as silk now and that too with Marshmallow !:fingers-crossed:
Let me know your status bro. Hope I could help you in some way
@krunalshah68 : Great to know bro that ur phone is as good as new now .. Many congratulations
As far as mine is concerned, did the following :
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. Flashed TWRP Recovery v3.0.2
3. Using mfastboot, flashed stock 5.0.2 and the phone booted up successfully finally !!
But now here's the catch, the phone once flashed up with a rom boots up fine for a single time only. Within that time frame, every damn thing works fine. Able to browse the net, configure apps & settings , blah blah etc etc ... every single thing. But as soon as i restart the phone, the rom fails to startup. It gets stuck on the boot loop.
Initially i thought the rom might have been corrupt, but then i tried the following roms:
1. Stock 5.1 Optimized as posted by @lost101
2. crDroid CM 13 6.0.1
And again the same fate was met.
And yes, i've been installing the above roms by flashing the zips in twrp. After every flash, cleared dalvik, cache & data.
Maybe the fellow members @lost101 @ravibhat can give some insight what's happening ! :crying :
Hello guys, My phone is stuck on bootloop
I have already rooted device and now it is stuck on bootloop even the Recovery isn't opening. I know I would have to reset the phone with mfastboot but I want my internal storage to be backed up before doing all this Is there anyway to do so? Anyone here can help me out?
@sahil_arora05 : if you are able to access the bootloader mode, with the help of mfastboot, flash the latest version of twrp for moto g (mfastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img). After that, connect an otg disk to ur handset, boot into twrp and you'll be able to see all your files in the internal storage using the inbuilt file explorer for twrp. With that you can copy all ur data from the handset to the otg drive.

@sahil_arora05 Use mfastboot. It's been specifically designed for Moto devices as the regular fastboot is reportedly having some issues with Moto mobiles (read this on some XDA post itself)

Hi Guys,
phone : Moto G (XT1033), Falcon
- stuck in bootloop
- able to go to recovery
- unable to flash custom recovery such as twrp or cwm
- as suggested,
1. Unlocked the bootloader successfully, can see code status = 3 in recovery mode
mfastboot oem unlock <CODE>2. Unable to flash twrp. It writes successfully but shows stock recovery only
mfastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-falcon.img3. so tried booting twrp using with success
mfastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-falcon.img4. cleaned cache, dalvik etc.
5 using twrp, used ADB which enables MTP which let me transfer Android6.0.1_NX_R10.3.3_MotoG2013.zip to internal memory
6 Using twrp to flash ROM - Android6.0.1_NX_R10.3.3_MotoG2013.zip
It seems it started installing but its been more than one hour and it seems its still doing something.
It has stuck at - "Patching system image unconditionally..."
is this normal? Did I miss anything?
Appreciate help in advance. thank you for your time...
Best Regards,
Jignesh
