Hi everybody, I recently rooted and installed ClockWorkMod through ROM Manager on my Moto G. I was going to flash Cyanogenmod 11 but CWM didn't recognized root for some reason. So I unrooted the phone and kept CWM because I couldn't find the stock recovery. Yesterday I decided to try flashing Cyanogenmod again but I also wanted to reflash CWM because mines wouldn't dectect root so I plugged it into my PC, ran the 1-click installer for CWM and when I boot to recovery it boots into Fastboot instead and boots into Android 5 seconds later no matter what I select. Can anyone help me fix this problem?
Thanks

I flashed CWM through fastboot but still nothing. I held down power and volume down to get into recovery but instead it went into fastboot and when I select Recovery it boots into Android. BTW I'm on 4.4.2 GPe.
Did you try flashing supersu through cwm? That should root it

I've actually decided to factory reset and start from scratch but the phone keeps rebooting when i try to reset it. I guess that means new Moto G

You do know that when you make your selection when in recovery you use volume up to select, not power

My Moto G is a german Retail Version.
Yesterday i've discovered that stock recovery under US GLOBAL RETAIL KK doesn't work anymore. Green Android with red warning sign. Everything else was working fine. So today i went back to my country specific jelly bean firmware and stock recovery also was fine again.
Now i've sideloaded the german OTA update for KitKat via ADB. And again, the stock recovery doesn't work.
What could be the matter?
Someone else here with the same problems?
Not that I wish to sound condescending, but are you aware how stock recovery usually works? Static image that turns to a menu when you press power and volume up?
mine moto g is similiar
I have similiar question.
when I'm running fastboot there are this choices:
Normal powerup, Recovery, Factory, Switch console, Barcodes, BP tools
when I choose anything it will just power up the phone as normal powerup
Are you using volume up to choose?
yes

It doesn't work for me either. I have UK retail device flashed to 4.4.2 US retail.
Did you use TWRP recovery to install SuperSU maybe?

Not a problem for me. But i know how to use the stock recovery menu on the moto g.
I've used it to sideload the KitKat OTA update. The matter is that it doesn't work under KitKat anymore.

Looks like the same problem. And i doesn't use any custom recovery to push root on the device.
But after i'm going back to my country specific (jelly bean) firmware, also the stock recovery works again.
And i was able to sideload the KK OTA via ADB. System runs perfectly after that. But the stock recovery doesn't work again.

Have had the same issue on 4.3 , i went to recovery with adb: abd reboot recovery. Also on 4.4.2 i can`t get into recovery by pressing volume up and the power button, it boots up every time.
Powerbutton is wrong, you have to choose an entry with volume down and then press Volumen up to accept it.

if you have a custom recovery on 4.4.2 you must flash the motoboot from 4.3

gee, to get to recovery your phone need to be turned off and then you must hold three buttons (power button and both volume buttons) for a few seconds

Thru Bootloader, if you choose !!stock!!recovery with Volume Up it is really that the recovery just's shows the Android with a red Sign on it. No Menu no nothing. That happend only since the KitKat OTA.
And then 2hipso is right : Holding both Volumes + power for just 1-2 seconds shows the Menu.
plus : They finally fixed the order od the Menu as it seems.
How do you Boot into recovery? Over ADB?

I have the same problem on a french moto G. I sideloaded kitkat and now I can't boot into recovery. Not with the power/volume button, not with the booloader and not with adb ....
I dont think the reason is sideloading the OTA-Update. I had have the same Problem on the Global US bevore
Sent from my Nexus 7 2013 using xda app-developers app
well... maybe a bug
I did sideload OTA and my recovery menu is working... but if I choose something, nothing hapens. it will just turn on the phone
I think you are not in the recovery menu. Wich entries do you see?

Hey guys
I'm trying the whole time to accces recovery on the Moto G, but everytime I try this, the phone always reboots to Android. I tried Flashing CWM and TWRP, then it says in my fastboot flash mode: mismatched partition size. I never can go to recovery because it always reboots when I try to acces s it. And I want to install CWM or TWRP for flashing roms but nothing changes, the problem stays... Could anyone help me or has anyone also experienced this annoying problem?
Cheers
I will write a guide for it tomorrow. I don't have time right now.

When you flash cwm go straight to the recovery if you see a red sign with no command hold pwr+up for 2 secs it should boot into cwm

Are you using volume UP to select recovery or power button.
If power button then read what it says on the bootloader screen before you chose an option.

I'm using volume up,then I see the Motorola logo then blank screen then Motorola logo again and boot screen,tried twrp and two cwm including the one mentioned above, I tried flashify to install these recoveries also. I'm on stock KitKat ota but I installed it manually by downloading the update zip and applying it in stock recovery , I just recently reflashed back to stock before upgrading to KitKat
Can you do
fastboot boot recovery.img
This works for me on 4.3 stock bootloader to boot a temp recovery, however doesn't work for everyone.
If it works you could then flash superSU and then install xposed or whatever to give yourself advanced android reboot menu and try to boot into recovery from reboot menu (assuming recovery isn't messed up).
I just reflashed the moto g stock recovery using moto tool so that I can flash the official 4.4.3(I was using TWRP before).But the thing is that when I reboot to stock recovery,there is this dead android logo but no options like wipe,apply update etc.Shouldn't these options be present in the stock recovery or did I do something wrong?I cannot tell if the recovery is working or not.

I don't think the stock recovery is supposed to have these options anyway... I think it does all the work when you apply an update in the settings... It automatically reboots to recovery and installs to make sure that users don't do it themselves.

It has wipe data/apply update options. When you see the dead android, you have to press the vol up button for 10-15 secs then tap the power button to get into the recovery.

God I'm stupid.
So I flashed a 4.4.3 theme on a 4.4.4 ROM, and I was stuck at the boot animation.
I went to recovery, found out I don't have any ROM's on my phone, so I figured I should flash through fastboot.
I downloaded the stock 4.4.4 image, tried to do the flash-all.bat, got an error.
I extracted the RAR inside it, manually flashed recovery, system, boot etc.
I can now only enter fastboot. Whenever I try to go to recovery or start the phone the screen just goes black, and all I can do is hold down the power button and restart to fastboot.
I sure hope you guys can help me, I don't have the money to buy a new phone

Do you know what error you got when you did the flash-all?

Have you tried flashing stock 4.4.3 or even 4.4.2 completely in fastboot? Including recovery again??

I'm trying the Nexus Root Toolkit, and before that I managed to install TWRP 2.7.1.1 and boot to recovery.
However, I can't boot to the system.
I also downloaded 4.4.3 and going to attempt to flash it.
The missing Sig error is normal and nothing to worry about

It's all fine.
Luckily a friend called me on Skype and I told him about my bricked device, he suggested to use NRT.
Thanks for the help guys!
