Really sorry for my english!!
I need help .
Can you do something in that menu? Or noting?
I'm not sure but you can try:
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
If this doesent help you can try to reflash the right version of motoboot.img.
Best way to start all over is follow this thread, make your updates and then make any modifications (root, cwm,.....) you want.
Thats the easiest way to get out of trouble.

Hmmm......no idea atm, but you said, you flashed stock US retail 4.4.2.
What was on your phone before? Maybe the 4.3 version? Or was 4.4.2 already on it?
Try to flash stock 4.3 completly if it was like that.
Try to erase all partitions via fastboot before.

Don't do that. DON'T! It will most likely result in an error message or a hard brick, and the device will only have HS-USB QDloader.
I never had a Problem with that.
Of course you have flash it later again....

I just got a Moto G (Model XT1045) yesterday to replace the Nexus One that I have had since the week it was released. I am wanting to install Cyanogenmod 11, and am following "wiki.cyanogenmod<dot>org/w/Install_CM_for_falcon" to do it. (Sorry, too new to link directly.)
The bootloader is unlocked, but I am unable to get the recovery ROM working. This is what I type as well as the output:
Code:
C:\Users\User\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery WM-swipe-6.0.4.7-falcon.img

sending 'recovery' (9954 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.395s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.329s]

The Fastboot screen on the phone says the following:
Code:
USB connected
cmd: getvar:partition-type:recovery
cmd: getvar:max-download-size
cmd: download:00862000
cmd: flash:recovery
Mismatched partition size (recovery)
Other forums have said the partition thing is normal and should be ignored.
Now, when I go to "Recovery" the screen flashes for a moment the screen that says that the phone is unlocked, but then goes right back into Fastboot with the error "Boot up failed". I tried doing the recovery thing with both of the ClockworkMod 6.0.4.7 compatible images for my phone as well as TWRP 2.7.1.0. I have also tried going strait to recovery after I loaded it from the command prompt and also tried "fastboot reset-bootloader". All of those yielded the same results.
I can still get into the original OS, so I not really freaking out, but it would be nice to get CM loaded on because I don't want to spend the time tweaking my phone too much just to wipe it the next day. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks for your time.

You have a Moto G 4G. Look in 4G Development Forums for a semi-working TWRP.
But be careful. Moto G and Moto G 4G ROMs aren't compatible. There is no CM or any other custom ROM yet for your device

Have a look above at post #12
Maybe it could help
Hi,
I really need some help. I had a stock 5.0.2 Lollipop and an unlocked device when I decided to flash CM 12.1. I get into the bootloader and tried to flash the recovery image but it always get the error "Mismatch partition size" witch I ignored because of the posts and suggestion here. But when I selected recovery from the bootloader it didn't load. At first it just restarted normally. I've tried every single possible custom recovery but none worked. Now I've tried something different. fastboot boot recovery.img to try to flash the rom. But it just appear a battery with a question mark on it. The only thing I can flash is a stock rom 4.4.3 that doesn't have any service at all.
Thanks for your help :fingers-crossed:
I think you get that error because your recovery is outdated (use latest twrp from here), try to flash by using "fastboot flash recovery yourfilename.img"
try that and see if you still had any problems

weird, if you cant get into recovery that means there isnt any recovery in first place but when you flashed twrp from bootloader, it should be there or the twrp didnt really flashed..

I dont see any problem here, it is flashed successfully and the mismatched partition is nothing serious, what you do after this?
perhaps after trying to go recovery, you should wait a little waiting for the twrp to load, let phone may sleep for a while

I will load a video.
My boot loader is unlocked and am rooted with the stock recovery. My model is XT1550 (dual sim variant in India). I received the OTA updates today.. I downloaded them and installed.. The installation looked like it went fine.. after the installation the phone restarted.. but it kind of went to a boot loop after that.. I can power off the phone pressing the power button for some time.. bu the phone powers off and restarts automatically... it does not progress beyond the few initial screens after which it just displays a blank display...
I am able to get into flashmode.. however, my pc does not recognize the device.. adb terminal shows no devices when I give "adb devices" command.. can someone help? Can I do a factory reset from the flashboot menu? what does the factory mode do? what else can be done to salvage the situation? Thanks.
Update: I went into the stock recovery and did a factory reset. It wiped the user data and did a factory reset. After this I tried rebooting the system. But again the same problem. The phone starts and after the first two -three screens of a boot animation it simply gives me a blank screen display. Really worried now.. Any help?

Hi, I have faced the same issue that you have faced. I will be resorting to flashing original STOCK ROM using the ADB commands.
There are other threads in this forum explaining the procedure.
Don't worry. If you follow the procedure correctly you will be able to reinstall the system and use your phone again.
After flashing STOCK ROM and before installing OTA update, please ensure that your phone has stock recovery and is not rooted. Other wise you will face similar issue.
To go to fastboot mode from the blank screen mode you may follow the steps below:
1. Keep the power key pressed for a few seconds till you can see that the screen has gone completely black (otherwise you will see the screen dimly lit)
2. Immediately after this step press the volume down button first followed by power button and hold for a second or two and release the buttons, you would be in the fastboot mode
3. You can connect your phone to the PC in this mode to flash the STOCK ROM using the flash boot commands
4. You will find the STOCK ROM in the following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639
5. For installation procedure and fastboot commands refer this link:

Thanks a lot. I can get into fastbot mod. However, when I type adb devices from the command prompt it doesnt list any devices. Will I be able to flash anything in such a situation? I already have the stock firmware extracted to my adb folder.
Update: I have flashed the stock firmware successfully. The device is back up and running now.. thanks a lot..

Can you please let us know what you did to over come the problem of your device not being able to be recognized by ADB fastboot?
Also which STOCK firmware did you use (there are two in the link)?
Could you download and update via the OTA?
Your reply would help others. Thanks

Well, after getting into fastboot when I use the command "adb devices" it did not show anything under the list of devices. However, when I started giving the commands for flashing the stock firmware it was accepting the adb commands. I followed the commands here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750
and I used the stock firmware XT1550_OSPREY_RETASIA-INDIA_DS_2GB_5.1.1_LPI23.72-47_cid7 for this purpose downloaded from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639 things were alright. But I need to say that the first command "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" did fail in fastboot. But I went ahead and gave all the subsequent commands all of which were successful and in the end I was able to restart with the new factory image.
However, all my data lost, root lost, and my boot loader is still in unlocked status.
About OTAs, I don't know. I went to the system updates to see if there is an OTA.. it says my software is up to date.
Thanks
That was a fast reply. Thanks for elaborating.
Don't know what the consequences of not being able to flash the gpt.bin are...
I will post update after flashing stock rom after reaching home. Stuck in office still...
Hello,
A little info about adb/fastboot :
adb works only after boot.
fastboot works in fastboot mode.
When you boot to fastboot mode and try commands such as "adb devices" you won't see any output or may get an error as the device is connected in fastboot mode.
So using "fastboot devices" will return all device ids connected in fastboot mode.
Hope this helps other new users.

Below is a response I saw in reddit on this error. Looks like it should be fine.
That normally happens when you try to downgrade. GPT.bin and motoboot should fail to flash if you're trying to downgrade; prevent a hardbrick. As long as all the other commands are flashing successfully you'll be fine.

Flashed Stock rom. up and about
I flashed the stock 23.72.47 version using fastboot commands.
The flashing of gpt.bin failed but all the other commands were successful.
I had unlocked my bootloader previously which is still showing as unlocked.
Yes, I made a mistake of using adb commands in fastboot. In bootloader we got to use fastboot commands and adb does not work.
I respect this forum for these exact reasons that things are no nonsense here and this is the place for really knowledgeable people.
Thanks for bearing noobs like me.
Lastly my beloved moto g3 is up and about and doing fine.
Oh BTW I too checked for updates and found that the the stock rom 23.72.47 seems to be the updated version with the Ota incorporated. Earlier I was on the 23.72.33 rom.
Thank you members.

Hi, I have faced the same issue that you have faced. I will be resorting to flashing original STOCK ROM using the ADB commands.
There are other threads in this forum explaining the procedure.
Don't worry. If you follow After flashthe procedure correctly you will be able to reinstall the system and use your phone again.
after installing STOCK ROM and before installing OTA update, please ensure that your phone has stock recovery and is not rooted. Other wise you will face similar issue.
To go to fastboot mode from the blank screen mode you may follow the steps below:
1. Keep the power key pressed for a few seconds till you can see that the screen has gone completely black (otherwise you will see the screen dimly lit)
2. Immediately after this step press the volume down button first followed by power button and hold for a second or two and release the buttons, you would be in the fastboot mode
3. You can connect your phone to the PC in this mode to flash the STOCK ROM using the flash boot commands
4. You will find the STOCK ROM in the following link

My boot loader is unlocked and am rooted with the stock recovery. My model is XT1550 (dual sim variant in India). I received the OTA updates today.. I downloaded them and installed.. The installation looked like it went fine.. after the installation the phone restarted.. but it kind of went to a boot loop after that.. I can power off the phone pressing the power button for some time.. bu the phone powers off and restarts automatically... it does not progress beyond the few initial screens after which it just displays a blank display...
I am able to get into flashmode.. however, my pc does not recognize the device.. adb terminal shows no devices when I give "adb devices" command.. can someone help? Can I do a factory reset from the flashboot menu? what does the factory mode do? what else can be done to salvage the situation? Thanks.
Update: I went into the stock recovery and did a factory reset. It wiped the user data and did a factory reset. After this I tried rebooting the system. But again the same problem. The phone starts and after the first two -three screens of a boot animation it simply gives me a blank screen display. Really worried now.. Any help?

so far i have learned that before applying official ota one must have bootloader relock and everything official like recovery etc etc and may be no root (do not remember no root thing well)
i may be wrong but sharing is caring right?

It doesn't need bootloader relocked but you need stock rom(no Mods or root) and stock recovery to do ota

If you reflashed stock firmware then you will have stock recovery and not twrp to find out reboot into your bootloader then use arrow keys until get to option saying recovery then select if its stock it will look abit like cwm but call android 3e recovery or something close to that if not it will boot into twrp
