CWM not boot on European Moto G - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tryed to boot CWM recovery for moto G (from this thread) but it didn't boot.
I have an european XT1032 (italian version), there are any fix for this device?
I tested the recovery with the following command:
For the 4.3 version
Code:
fastboot boot CWM43.img
For the 4.4 version
Code:
fastboot boot CWM44.img
but the device prompt the motorola screen and then reboot without boot the custom recovery.

1) is your bootloader unlocked?
2) are you on a stock JB or KK rom?
3) Do you have the same issue with TWRP?

Yes I unlocked the bootloader. I'm on Stock KitKat (4.4.2) and I have the same issue if I try to boot TWRP. I also tried to flash it on device but the issue remains.

Read the OP from the site where you downloaded CWM carefully again and compare it to that what you have quoted here.
With fastboot boot you are trying to flash cwm (recovery) as a kernel:crying:
And even then something is missing in your syntax (flash).
For flashing Kernel use:
fastboot flash boot filename.img

For flashing CWM use:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img

By the way, here is a good fastboot HowTo.

I already try to flash the recovery on device but it doesn't boot.
so i want to test it before flash on the phone

Sorry i don't understand you. You flashed the recovery already? But you want to test it before you flash? Now what?
What did you do exactly?
I think you messed up something while doing this thats why i am suggesting you to go back to Stock first.

Just flash it by typing "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and then restart bootloader and press volume down, and then volume up. You should boot into recovery.

Before write this post i already tried flash and then boot the custom recovery, but it doesnt boot.
So i restored the stock recovery,and now i want to test recovery (on the fly) without flash it.

You have to flash it. You can not use it "on the fly" to test it.

If you want to try it out, use:

why did you wipe data and dalvik after rom's installation?
follow these steps
full wipe from recovery
flash the rom
flash gapps
reboot

note:the initial boot takes a while

no it doesn't matter if you didn't root the stock one
cm10 comes already pre-rooted
do this
connect your device in fastboot mode to pc(in bootloader must say fastboot usb)
extract the boot.img from the rom.zip and place it in your adb and fastboot folder(i assume you have installed sdk tools)
open in that folder a cmd window and do fastboot flash boot boot.img
then do fastboot reboot

Yes, i can boot in recovery mod, and my version of my phone is 4.2.2 official. I have K2_UL, and i don't know the boost version. But my boot version is HBOOT : 2.21.0000 And radio : 1.18.40a.00.05
Ok, follow the Link in my signature to my index thread. You will find a Link to a stock 4.2.2 rom for k2ul. Flash this with twrp recovery (make a full wipe before) and don't forget to flash boot.img with fastboot cmd if you are S-on.

I'm on my phone, can't give you links right now or explain how to setup fastboot. But the web or xda are full of guides for that.
This rom was removed because it's against the rules of xda. Look for "stock odexed 4.2.2" rom in my index thread.

You flash the rom in recovery (this rom for k2ul).
After that, extract (only!) boot.img and copy it to your fastboot folder.
Flash the boot.img with fastboot with the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache afterwards.
You will find all you need for fastboot in this Android.zip from attachment. Unzip it in a folder called fastboot and start cmd window there and you are good to go.
You can check before flashing boot.img if the phone is recognized with fastboot cmd

ok thanks, but the problem when i installed the driver for my HTC, i'm on window 8.64bits, the installshield don't worked. He have a problem of compatibilities. Because, when y used fastboot i have a trobleshooting : waiting for device
This is a problem you have to solve yourself, as i don't have Win 8.1.
But if you do a search here on xda there are a plenty of threads about drivers and windows.

Nexus 5 Soft Bricked After Installing Bad Kernel

Hi, I recently bricked my Nexus 5 after attempting to load one kernel over another (I know now that what I did was stupid) and I'm now stuck in a bootloop. I believe I'm running on 5.1.1 and have no custom recovery anymore. Any ideas on how to fix this?

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img where recovery.img is the name of whatever recovery you download or rename the file to recovery. I like TWRP (Google it).
You can flash a boot.img (kernel) at the same time if you like or reboot to recovery and install a zip.
I accidentally flashed a radio instead of a kernel once and fixed it up easy peasy. If you can get to fastboot you can fix the phone just have to read up on it a bit.
Google "wugfresh nexus 5". He has a Nexus 5 toolkit all in one software. Should be able to help you out. I used it.

The MultiROM TWRP itself doesn't install multirom, I just know it works, while some other recovery images don't. You will be able to flash a different recovery once you fix your problem.
I forgot that a kernel can't be readily flashed via fastboot... You should try downloading a stock firmware package and flashing at least boot and system.

Weird Soft-Brick, Need Help!!!

Hi all,
I started out on TWRP version 2.7.1.0, and I wanted to flash the latest TWRP recovery (2.8.7.0), so I used the app that was linked by the TWRP site (TWRP Manager). So I tried to flash the latest update, and then a message pops up telling me to check if this was the right partition. I was careless and I didn't check it, and went ahead and installed it. It said it failed, but next thing I know, every time I tried to reboot(into the system/OS) I just boot right into TWRP (version 2.8.7.0). Then from TWRP (2.8.7.0) I tried to reboot into recovery, and it rebooted into TWRP, except that it was version 2.7.1.0, where I started.
So, when I hit boot into system, I got TWRP (2.8.7.0), and when I hit boot into recovery, I got TWRP 2.7.1.0. I was completely confused, so I wiped the OS, and then booted into fastboot to fastboot flash TWRP(2.8.7.0) in my recovery (It worked). Right now, I'm soft-bricked so I don't have an OS, but I have TWRP(2.8.7.0) as my recovery. Except now, I still get TWRP when I try to boot into system, and fastboot flashing, adb sideloading, and regular TWRP flashing is not working...
Any help is very appreciated, I need my phone to just be working!!! Except, if anyone can help me update it to 5.1 while they're at it, that would be awesome!

When you go to flash your custom recovery, use fastboot rather than twrp manager. If you MUST use such a shortcut, I might recommend flashify.
