[Q] Moto G has no OS installed!

hi everyone,
i accidentally deleted all of my data from my sd card when i got stuck in a bootloop and now my moto g has no OS installed. I've tried using adb to push the stock ROM onto it but because I cant access usb debugging through TWRP it doesn't even recognise my device is plugged in. any advice would be help full thanks.

Hmmm.. You basically have 2 options here.
1. Get ADB working (it's not hard, try the Koush's Universal ADB driver)
2. Restore back to stock ROM, but you will need Fastboot working.
The thing is, if you can get Fastboot working, ADB should work too.. so...
If you need help with ADB, just ask..

Maybe this will help you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219

If you are able to go to recovery(which you should be able to do), download any custom ROM of your choice like PA, CM, SLIM etc.. flash that rom by following the Installation instructions in the thread. YOu should be able to get the phone back to normal. And if you want the stock ROM, then download the stock files and flash it, you might loose custom recovery, then follow the same things you did to get TWRP in the first place.

I would if I could. The problem is I formatted the whole phone which included the internal storage too. My CM Rom is in the internal storage and it's already deleted. I tried to connect my phone to the pc so that I could transfer a rom into it but failed cause my pc won't recognized my phone as the media transfer devices. It's only recognized my phone as fastboot falcon s. I've installed Motorola Device Manger but it's also failed. I also tried to install using adb sideload but I got device not found error and my phone doesn't listed in the device attached after I typed 'adb devices'. For the OTG and memory card reader method I haven't try yet because I don't have any of it.

What does it say when you try
Code:
adb devices
or
when you reboot to bootloader with phone connected and type
Code:
fastboot devices
If it shows a device for fastboot devices then follow this to flash back to stock. Make sure you download the right stock firmware for your phone.

It seems like you dont have fastboot files. Follow the same link that i posted in the previous one. It has portable adb & fastboot files. Download that and then follow instructions. You should be able to get to fastboot. Once you are there the job is almost done. Hope it helps
Edit: Here is the link to download and install the minimal adb & fatsboot files

I've followed all the instructions but my phone still not rebooting. When I try to reboot it, it only show me the warning of unlocked bootloader screen, black screen, warning of unlocked bootloader screen then dead android screen. What should I do now?

It means your phone is in fastboot mode and recognised by your PC. Next you'll have to "fastboot flash" the necessary files to install a recovery and a system, and you should be good to go.

Few weeks back I ****ed up soft bricked my phone had kindda same issue when I switch my phone on I get a dead android logo. Gave to the service center in India and got a replacement a new xt1033
P.s I was trying to root and my warranty was void still got a new one try your luck bruhhh

Hey, I've done all of the flashing instruction from the xda forum link that you gave me. My problem for now is, why is my phone not rebooting? The only thing that happen after the flashing is my phone only show the 'warning bootloader unlocked' and the dead android with red triangle screen. It won't boot into the stock rom that I've flashed. The stock rom/firmware that I used is correct. Please help me.. I really need to use my phone.

K there's a resolve for this...Provided that you haven't ****ed up your phone by making it hard bricked...
1 - Get a freaking rom and sideload it through TWRP to boot into system...
+ Download a ROM
+ Put it in the same folder as ADB and Fastboot and rename it to something easier that you can type exactly (ex: 1.zip, backup.zip...)
+ Shift + Right Click at a blank field in the window
+ Choose Open Command....
+ On TWRP, go to Advanced => Sideload => Tick the 2 boxes => Swipe to start sideloading
+ Type in adb sideload <yourzipname>.zip on the cmd (on your computer)
+ Wait for the process to finish, then you now have a working phone...
2 - Follow this guide using the proper firmwares that match your original one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219

Your PC will not recognize it as media transfer / storage while you are in bootloader / fastboot mode, its perfectly normal. When you type fastboot devices it should show you a number which means it working as intended. This is an old thread but it shows how to transfer your ROM to sdcard via adb push command. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929

The output of the "fastboot devices" command clearly shows your phone is recognised by your PC. As I said all you need to do now is use the correct "fastboot flash" commands to restore recovery and system. Tutorials can be found in this forum.

Thank you.
I would like to say thank you to all peoples who help me solving my lost os problem. Thanks for all the informations. My moto G is working perfectly normal right now.

[Q] Device not found after wiping data (trying to flash CM)

Hi,
I am not sure if I can ask about upgrading to CM here? Today I tried to follow their guide from their wiki and now my I can't access anything but recovery, and adb won't work.
I installed the recovery using fastboot and unlocked the device. That worked.
After that, I wiped data/factory reset and the next stage is to push CM to my device, but the device isn't recognized by the PC (when I type adb devices no devices appear).
Now I don't have an os and cannot do anything outside of recovery. I tried clicking on mount USB storage but it doesn't open my storage on my computer. When I connect the device my computer makes sound that a USB is connected.
I tried to /mount data and pretty much everything.
Any ideas?
Sorry for bad English.

I assume you installed TWRP recovery. If yes,
click on MOUNT option,
check SYSTEM option,
disable MTP and then
Enable MTP
.. now you should be able to see the device in your computer. Copy the zip file and flash it through recovery.

No, I have CW recovery (I thought I wrote that, sorry).

You need to get adb drivers sorted out, I believe there's a guide for it on General forum.

You previously wrote, and I quote, "I installed the recovery using fastboot and unlocked the device. That worked."
^ This means to me that the connection between your bootloader (fastboot client) and your computer (fastboot host/server) is working, from which we can assume drivers FOR FASTBOOT are correctly setup.
You previously wrote, and I quote, "but the device isn't recognized by the PC (when I type adb devices no devices appear)"
^ This means to me that the connection between adb (on the phone) and adb (on the pc) is not working.
Now, if you are in a custom recovery, hook up the usb to the pc, start adb server on the pc, and you still don't see your device sn appear on the output of 'adb devices', then it means that the drivers FOR ADB aren't setup correctly.
Running a tool and then coming back saying it didn't work... That's not helpful at all. How did it not work? What version of the tool did you use? 1.4.2? 1.3? Keep in mind that you need (more likely than not, since you're probably running latest recovery versions) updated adb and fastboot binaries to API 21 version (Android 5.0). v1.3 of that tool doesn't seem to support API 21 yet.
Learn how to ask for help, please. Also, read the entire first post of this thread please: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/noob-read-adb-fastboot-how-hep-t2807273
If you still can't get it to work, there's a thread to help out troubleshooting drivers stuff, check it out at http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...nosing-usb-driver-adb-issues-windows-t2514396

Ok... Sorry for making you confused, it's not easy for me to communicate in English.
Anyway I managed to flash twrp which is much friendlier than CWM, and then I had access to my storage again. Thanks (solved).

Bricked Device Help

Hello, my OPO device was bricked after I accidentally wiped the internal memory and it has no rom installed either. However, I have access to the fastboot mode and also TWRP. I've tried to use adb push to put in a rom but it says device not found when I try. Also while connected to my computer, the device doesn't show up, but in device manager it will show up as just "One".
When typing adb devices, nothing shows up, when typing fastboot devices my phone's ID will show with fastboot to the right.

You can do a couple things:
1. Flash COS12.1 from here via instructions in the linked thread
2. Download TWRP and flash it via fastboot commands, reboot to recovery and transfer a nightly and gapps and flash
You are not bricked at all, last time I managed to brick my phone the screen was black no matter what I did, you can easily get back from fastboot

Moto G 1st Gen no OS installed

I have a problem with my Moto G 1st gen. It seems while attempting to flash a new ROM onto the device, I have somehow managed to delete the OS. I am trying to flash the stock ROM back onto the device, but unfortunately I am unable to as the device does not appear on my computer when I plug it in using a USB cable. I am using the TWRP custom recovery. I would like to be able to restore the original ROM and use the device as normal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Device:
Moto G 1st Gen (XT1033)
TWRP Recovery installed
OS is missing
When I attempt to boot the device, it gives me the unlocked bootloader warning.

To recover your ROM, use your backup. If you do not have a backup ... it's bad.

Have you tried booting in fastboot? Does your mobile show up in the taskbar icons tray as ADB Device or Motorola ADB Composite Device? If not, check if you've proper drivers installed or not. Once you've the phone being detected, you can easily flash the stock rom using mfastboot commands.

Ok it seems the phone is detected by the computer, the phone is shown when I go to 'Devices and Printers' on my computer, but for some reason it shows as 'XT1032' instead of 'XT1033'. Probably attempted to install something designed for the XT1032 model instead.

It's probably TWRP Recovery that changed the model detection. Now, either install the stock ROM or flash a custom ROM.
