I see then i guess im not that lucky. I had twrp (a previous version) already and when i try to flash the newest one in fastboot there is no diff. i tried flashing CWM instead and still no dice. I used the all in one tool (idk if it makes a difference or not)

Dude Help me out on this... Is there some issue with the hardware or with the software.. can't figure it out

When you flashing the recovery through fastboot its shows any warning message?
When flashing is done just make sure your recovery is working, by entering into the recovery...

I recently acquired a moto g here in india via flipkart that came preinstalled with android 4.4.4 and yes i have the same problem of not getting any recovery to work since all of them boot to a weird black screen with random white lines appearing haphazardly. In fact the closest i have come to getting a proper recovery is when i installed the twrp 2.7.1.1 although it too off started of as black screen with weird lines i left it that way till the screen turned off and once it did, i pressed the power button and voila the recovery had successfully loaded.
However touch and HW buttons weren't working but i definitely reached the padlocked screen of twrp. So i tried another thing i had read on the forums here @ xda that sometimes letting the screen go off in recovery once makes it work but even that didnt work. Now the thing is does the recovery work ? that is in its most essential function taking backups and installing zips yes it does so. But since both the above functions require the actual use of recovery itself which isnt possible so i used twrp app for android and installed it and used that to make backups and install zips; both of which worked. Now it goes without saying root access is must for using of this app and i got rooted using the modaco/paul o'brian superboot method and hence was able to use twrp app. Hope this provides everybody a better clarity on our situation and make the devs for recovery solve our problem. Good Luck.
P.S Downgrading to 4.4.2 wont help as it will give the black screen witnessed on trying to boot into recovery(I already tried that)

So. It must becoz of the incompatibility of the recoveries with the new boot loader/firmware or what ever ?
The bootloader version of all those with 4.4.4 is 41.13. So it must be the issue with recovery.
The root can also be acquired by flashing cwm recovery and installing supersu from playstore.

Just use this fastboot to install any custom recovery you prefer. Dont let your cell phone reboot into the OS or the custom recovery you installed will be replaced by the stock one!

Can I install custom ROM from stock recovery mode?

First of all you shouldnt have made a factory reset.
Did you have a rootedsystem.img or system.img in the root of your internal sd card?
If you did all you had to do is dd flash that image and your phone would have returned to life. If you read the instructions to rooting you shouldve made a backup first!
If you flash ZV5 TOT you will hard brick your phone.

Well I thought u had custom recovery, never mind, u just need to enter in bootloader and flash the stock ROM. This might save u from soft brick.

I thought the factory reset would have fixed the problem. I bought the phone already rooted, so no I dont have neither of the .img files. I have a friend with a similar phone, can i get the files i need from that phone?
