Hey everyone,
Yesterday i tried flashing the latest CM12 nightly straight onto my Moto G over stock KitKat. After i flashed the ROM, i tried booting and noticed it was taking a lot longer than normal to boot. Ten minutes had gone past so i tried rebooting it again and the same thing happened, just got stuck booting for ages.
So i decided to boot into recovery and do a factory reset to see if this would make any difference. But even after doing this the phone still wouldn't boot, so i decided to just flash the stock KitKat ROM back onto the phone and forget about all the Lollipop stuff.
The KitKat ROM wasn't on my phones storage so i downloaded it from the internet and flashed it via fastboot using and included Windows batch file. I've used this method numerous times to get me out of situations like this and it's always worked, but this time no!
Tried booting after flashing the new stock ROM and now it just keeps going to the 'Warning, bootloader unlocked' screen and then booting back in a loop.
When i boot into ClockworkMod recovery it gives me these errors:
Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
Can't open /cache/recovery/log
Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
And if i attempt to format /data, it says this:
Error mounting /data
Error formatting /data
I hate asking for help like this but unfortunately i don't have much option this time, no idea what to do despite searching forums for many hours.
Please help, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You can try getting into fastboot and run commands fastboot erase userdata and fastboot erase cache from your computer to pretty much factory reset the phone.

Thanks for the response. I tried entering the commands you suggested but the problem is still the same, phone stuck in the 'Warning, bootloader unlocked' loop. Does anyone have any other ideas? Really need some help with this, my little Moto has been dead for days!
And just an update on the situation, i noticed that if i go into CWM and select 'Wipe and Format Options' then 'Custom Format Options', choosing to format the cache and /data/media (/sdcard) options will stop the errors stated in the original post, but when i try flashing the ROM again the errors come straight back!

So sad to hear your Moto dead for the last days. Could you tell me more about your Moto? Can it turn off? Get into fastboot? Do you have recovery (stock or custom? Etc.

Yeah it sucks having a pretty much lifeless Moto, kinda scary as well not knowing if i'll be able to get it working again! But in response to your questions, i can turn it off and get into fastboot, i'm also able to boot into my recovery which is Philz Touch (ClockworkMod). If you take a quick look at the original post, i updated it a short while ago to show more details about the errors which are displayed.

If you can get into fastboot you can flash the stock firmware (not backup) back onto your phone that way. I have used fastboot many times to restore my xt1028 Moto G many times after seemingly bricking it. You will need the stock firmware for your phone to do this.
Here is a tutorial:

Hope this helps.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my request for help. I have already tried flashing the stock ROM via fastboot mode but it makes no difference to the situation, even though the new ROM flashes perfectly without error, when i try to boot it just gets stuck in the reboot loop on the 'Warning, bootloader unlocked' screen. I have no idea what to do now!

I would suggest you try to install a custom recovery through fastboot (I use TWRP 2.7.1.0)
Just replace the stock recovery with TWRP in the fastboot file and use the command "flash recovery recovery.img" then reboot into recovery(hold power and volume down button down together for about ten seconds, release and you should see the fastboot screen. Then press recovery and then wipe>advanced>wipe ONLY cache and dalvik and then reboot)
See if that does the trick.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58116154&postcount=14
You have not stated your model. Don't use batch files to fastboot flash the firmware. Make sure the image is 4.4.4.

Thanks very much for the responses. Unfortunately i already had Philz ClockwordMod recovery installed on the phone and had attempted the various wipe options a number of times without any success. However, i thought that as i'd only tried flashing the UK ROM to the device, i would attempt flashing a different ROM just to ensure there wasn't an issue here somewhere. I downloaded the stock US ROM and after extracting the archive i ran the Windows batch file to flash the files onto the phone. After the process had completed i rebooted the phone (Didn't bother going into recovery and wiping/formatting cache) and to my surprise the phone booted up completely fine! So weirdly it seems that just flashing a different ROM did the trick. But anyway, my Moto is alive again now, i'm very pleased to say the least!

We're having a failure to communicate here. Can you boot into the bootloader? If so I'd flash the factory image and start over again.

If you unlocked the bootloader your data's already gone. Nothing you can do about it. Just flash the factory images and move on.

I don't think you understand (or I don't understand). Unlocking the bootloader would have wiped the pics you wanted to recover.

Yeah if these are pics from before you unlocked, and you unlocked the normal way, ie. "fastboot oem unlock", then they are gone. There is nothing to try, your phone was wiped during the unlock process.
try flashing the boot.img
Sometimes Nexus stucks at the boot loop due to kernel failure .
Go to bootloader and then put a custom kernel ( franco or Elemental X ) and then
Boot to recovery flash the kernel you just put in the device storage.
If your device boots up then you still will have all the images ( data ) after the time of unlocking the bootloader.
You don't want to have a custom kernel you can flash the stock kernel ie in the factory image itself.
Code : fastboot flash boot boot.IMG
And this flashes the stock kernel
This works only if have the kernel problem.

His system was wiped during the unlocking process. Don't give him false hope, his pics are gone.
I read somewhere someone recovering pictures after unlocking the bootloader (dont remember if it was galaxy nexus, nexus 4 or nexus 5). But I didnt find it.
He knows that unlocking which erases all data. All data stored in the device AFTER unlocking can be recovered .
That's what I was saying
Thank you for your advice,,,

It's not unclear at all. The phone was wiped when the bootloader was unlocked. There are no more pics. They are gone, deleted, wiped...they do not exist anymore. I don't get why that's so hard to understand.
Why did you sell the device ?

try this
boot into recovery
adb shell
mount -a
now,look around and find the files you want to save. Then type exit to exit out of the shell and return to your PCs shell or command prompt (depending on if your running windows or linux) Suppose you want to save the file /sdcard/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20150101_101045.jpg
use the command
pull /sdcard/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20150101_101045.jpg
This should copy the file to your PC.
EDIT: I see you wiped. The data is not going to be recoverable unless your the FBI. (So when the FBI comes to the door,if you think that throwing your phone on the usb cable and running Autoroot while your girlfriend is flushing the cocaine down the toilet will keep them from finding those pictures,your going to be in for a surprise at your arraignment )
Hey guys, i'm having some SERIOUS problems with my 1st generation moto g XT1033.
Some days ago, i flashed stock android 5.0. Alright... So, i discovered that that were cm12 nightlies on the official cyanogenmod site and i flashed it. So, just after that i discovered that dual sim wasn't ported yet so i tried to change to stock 5.0, but my phone entered in a boot loop so i flashed stock 4.4.4, with no luck... now i flashed 5.0 but it's still not booting, i am now thinking about going back to CM12, which already have dual sim... the problem is that i dont know why, TWRP MTP isn't working, so now i just cant pass the CM12 zip to the phone because of that. please i need help i dont know what to do, if there's some way to flashing it without using TWRP's MTP. Thanks a lot and sorry about the english

Bad idea, never try to downgrade... If you can still access fastboot you are VERY luck that your phone did not end up in a hard brick. :fingers-crossed:
Try and flash stock 5.0 from fastboot mode. And wipe everything including userdata.
Goodluck!

Thanks for Helping!!! Just one question: How can i pass the stock zip to the phone to flash it if mtp is not working?Any suggestions? Because i think its not possible to flash 5.0 using fastboot, just on the stock recovery
update: I have just figured out that adb is working with CWM, which i have installed right now Yay!now I can push files from my computer!!

If you have unlocked boot loader then go into fastboot mode and run "fastboot boot customrecovery.img" where customrecovery.img is CWM or TWRP. I recomment TWRP. From there you can adb sideload the zip. Only flash it if you know exactly what you are doing or you may end up in a hard brick.

Do this at your own risk:
Your system partition is corrupt, you need to enter adb shell and format /system into ext4s. Search on google for the command as I do not have it on the top of my head. I believe it has something to do with make_ext4s function.

Pedro, I have the same problem.
I can only access bootloader and recovery, but using adb sideload I can't flash any image (and version) that works.
I just get boot looping as you, and gpt.bin and motoboot.img files can't be flashed.
I've found that with Lollipop bootloader we can't install an older Android version.
My Moto G is now a paperweight, until the final stock Lollipop comes.

Hi, I experienced the same problem. Have you fixed your phone? Please give me some suggestion. Thank you.
Same problem with my Moto G 2013.
I've tried to downgrade and got problem. Now I can't flash an older motoboot.img and gpt.bin.
I'm using CyanogenMod 12, but every time when I boot, there is a line going down over the screen.
This line only disappear when I turn off and on the screen. Then everything backs to normal.
Is there a way to solve this?
This happened to me yesterday, i wento from my US Retail 4.4.4 to BR Retail 4.4.4 then via stock recovery flashing the OTA of 5.0, installed Xposed but gave me slow boots, like 5 min per boot, so i decided to downgrade, flashed 4.4.4 BR but after boot a black screen comes and doesn't go, think of flashing 4.4.2 US but the same isue, then decided to update again to 5.0 BR but stock recovery don't let me flash because an error, i flashed philz touch and do a factory reset, wipe data, cache, and everything, then flashed flashing 4.4.4 BR and then 4.4.2 US, the line down problem is nothing, only appears when you boot and, if you lock your phone for about 2-3 seconds, it dissappear (until you boot again), hope it helps, sorry for bad english
For all with bootloops, there is a major issue caused with a boot animation memory leak. Search on the forum to find the fix. You may need to delete the bootanimation binary.

Moto G not Booting, HELP
Hi everyone, I really need help with my moto G, it´s not booting into android after pressing the power button the moto logo comes up and the phone goes directly into fastboot displaying a message in pink color: version downgrade for boot
Failed to validate boot image.
I have been hours checking around for a solution and working now for the third day trying to solve the problem with no luck.
I have downloaded the original firmware for the device, tried to flash it and it doesn´t work, tried other countries firmware and they doesn´t work either.
The process will be partially ok but as it goes to flash the boot.img, recovery and system files it will give an error.
I also tried bootloader refresh, bootloader bricker and blankflash to try fix any possible bootloader issues.
The device has a locked bootloader since it is a moto g from AIO.
Please Help, It´s my only device and I cannot afford another one at this time.
There´s a few images from the flash process and device info
:crying:
You need to unlock your bootloader in order to flash various ROMs.
but in this model the bootloader cannot be unlocked it is CID 0X0010
How did this happen to your phone? What model phone do you have?
It´s a Moto G 2013, xt1032
It all begin trying to install a signed stock firmware that was supposed to be for that specific model: AIO_XT1032_4.4.2-KXB20.9-1.10-1.9_CFC_1FF.xml
During the flash process it send some error messages but the process keep running until it finishes, once the device reboot it went straight to fastboot and since then I haven´t been able to get it back working.
Are you manually flashing each partition?
Maybe try a 4.4.4 ROM.
Yes, I have. I´ve also tried other signed firmware that have a .bat file that run all by itself but neither way it worked. It comes up with the error message: Invalid signed Image and below Preflash Validation Fail
My Moto G (XT1033) 1st Gen with stock lollipop has stuck in a boot loop.
I am still able to go in to recovery mode. Have tried clearing cache, but that didn't seem to work.
I don't have CWM installed it's pure android as stock have installed updates only through OTAs.
Have googled about it and many are stating that a factory reset will solve the issue. But I don't want to lose data in the phone.
Main reason for the boot loop could be App as I use beta versions of Facebook, Whatsapp and Nova launcher from apkmirror.
What can be done to recover data or just get this boot loop fixed?
P.S: My device is not rooted and does not have any CWM or TWRP recovery.
I have got exactly the same issue yesterday itself. It was working fine, even received a call after which it was placed on a table. Picked up a few moments later & it was switched off. After that, whenever i'm trying to turn it on, its stuck on the M Logo - Powered by Android i.e Bootloop.
My phone was full stock and totally untouched as well. There weren't any apps installed from sources apart from Play Store. I'm able to access the stock recovery and tried clearing the cache but no respite. Whenever i try to factory format that, it gives an error of e:/could't mount /cache/recovery/xxxxxxxx errors.
I had read the forums for similar issues and got to know from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/moto-g-bootup-problem-recovery-mode-t3122492. The issue is cent percent same apart from the fact that i can access stock recovery.
Maybe @ravibhat & @lost101 can help us in this. I'm not worried about getting the data but bringing the phone back to life is more important for me !! Please help.

oh okay mate. I have been googling for such issue but the mostly suggested method is reset that I haven't done (not to lose data). Will wait for a day if I get any solution otherwise will reset it.
Let me know what happened to your phone. Hope it gets fixed soon
okay so here's the update. Was successful to take backup as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426426
And made factory reset after that but now it is still getting stuck on bootloop with M logo and powered by android screen. :crying:
I gave my phone to the service center guys today for reflashing the firmware. They were unable to do and suggested a motherboard replacement for which i obviously refused as they asked for ~INR 8000 as charges. So will start experimenting with it now and hope so i'm able to bring back to life.
What i'm planning is:
1. Flash Custom Recovery.
2. Wipe entire phone.
3. Flash stock ROM.
Will keep updating if i'm able to manage anything
EDIT : Did everything mentioned above but the phone is having same fate as before @krunalshah68. It gets stuck on the M Logo :crying: The internal memory although is being shown as 5xxx MB in TWRP unlike 0 Mb earlier.
Unlock Bootloader (if not already done) and flash twrp - mfastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Alternatively you can boot into twrp without flashing: mfastboot boot twrp.img
Download twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2980621
Then via PC, do the following wipe: (requires working ADB setup - google it)

Thank you for you reply mate. :good:
I have somehow managed to backup data by script. but the problem is now even after resetting it is still stuck into bootloop.
But I am a bit confused here in steps.
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Flash custom recovery like TWRP and clear dalvik cache
3) and then flash any custom rom
correct me if I am wrong. I am going to follow these steps. @lost101
Phone started! yeeey!
So heres the update bro @BBThumbHealer.
Unlocked bootloader.
Flashed TWRP.
Cleared cache/dalvik cache/data.
Flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/nx-nexus-experience-rom-10-0-3-ambient-t3268555/
And device is working smooth as silk now and that too with Marshmallow !:fingers-crossed:
Let me know your status bro. Hope I could help you in some way
@krunalshah68 : Great to know bro that ur phone is as good as new now .. Many congratulations
As far as mine is concerned, did the following :
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. Flashed TWRP Recovery v3.0.2
3. Using mfastboot, flashed stock 5.0.2 and the phone booted up successfully finally !!
But now here's the catch, the phone once flashed up with a rom boots up fine for a single time only. Within that time frame, every damn thing works fine. Able to browse the net, configure apps & settings , blah blah etc etc ... every single thing. But as soon as i restart the phone, the rom fails to startup. It gets stuck on the boot loop.
Initially i thought the rom might have been corrupt, but then i tried the following roms:
1. Stock 5.1 Optimized as posted by @lost101
2. crDroid CM 13 6.0.1
And again the same fate was met.
And yes, i've been installing the above roms by flashing the zips in twrp. After every flash, cleared dalvik, cache & data.
Maybe the fellow members @lost101 @ravibhat can give some insight what's happening ! :crying :
Hello guys, My phone is stuck on bootloop
I have already rooted device and now it is stuck on bootloop even the Recovery isn't opening. I know I would have to reset the phone with mfastboot but I want my internal storage to be backed up before doing all this Is there anyway to do so? Anyone here can help me out?
@sahil_arora05 : if you are able to access the bootloader mode, with the help of mfastboot, flash the latest version of twrp for moto g (mfastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img). After that, connect an otg disk to ur handset, boot into twrp and you'll be able to see all your files in the internal storage using the inbuilt file explorer for twrp. With that you can copy all ur data from the handset to the otg drive.

@sahil_arora05 Use mfastboot. It's been specifically designed for Moto devices as the regular fastboot is reportedly having some issues with Moto mobiles (read this on some XDA post itself)
@krunalshah68 : waiting for your suggestions to get my device up & running like urs

Ok going to try that. Is there anyone who can provide me a link to download STOCK recovery for moto G xt1033. Can't find that.
@sahil_arora05 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649763 : Select XT1033 and from there u can choose the stock recovery for Asian model.

Thank you @BBThumbHealer.
Damn man that's the basic steps that you are following and that too pretty neat and right. Even though it is causing issues then there might be some other hardware bug may be ! Hope your phone gets started soon!
Hi Guys,
phone : Moto G (XT1033), Falcon
- stuck in bootloop
- able to go to recovery
- unable to flash custom recovery such as twrp or cwm
- as suggested,
1. Unlocked the bootloader successfully, can see code status = 3 in recovery mode
mfastboot oem unlock <CODE>2. Unable to flash twrp. It writes successfully but shows stock recovery only
mfastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-falcon.img3. so tried booting twrp using with success
mfastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-falcon.img4. cleaned cache, dalvik etc.
5 using twrp, used ADB which enables MTP which let me transfer Android6.0.1_NX_R10.3.3_MotoG2013.zip to internal memory
6 Using twrp to flash ROM - Android6.0.1_NX_R10.3.3_MotoG2013.zip
It seems it started installing but its been more than one hour and it seems its still doing something.
It has stuck at - "Patching system image unconditionally..."
is this normal? Did I miss anything?
Appreciate help in advance. thank you for your time...
Best Regards,
Jignesh
Hi guys in a new guy in xda Peace be upon you all .So here is the deal i have rooted quite a few phones and unlocked and got rid of softbrick .But this one is give me a headache .The owner gave me the phone he said he bought a 10 of those for his repair shop.I fixed the Htc One it was 2 nights of work barely any sleep.But never the less this device is moto g first generation the device is locked by pattern and wont let me in .If i slide to the camera at the lock screen camera stopped working .Fine i was like oke this would be easy its corrupted os .Next i tried to unlock the bootloader it failed with error battery was very weak like 5 %than i let it charge to about 80% and i managed to unlock the bootloader .Next i tried to install custom recovery to get rid of screen lock .when i go to recovery i got the screen with green android dude on his back with no comand then i hold volume up button for 10 sec and i tap the power button and it booted to android stock recovery .No matter what i do i couldnt get to install custom recovery it says finished without errors in cmd but i couldnt it always reverts me to stock recovery .Someone told me some stock roms after restart reinstalls stock recovery.Then i said fine i will do this in fastboot on cmd :fastboot boot recovery twrp.img and its the same it says downloading fine then goes and its the same stock recovery adb sideload wont work because usb debbuging is turned off i think because when i type adb devices it displays nothing emtpy so i even tried to get rid of whole stock rom but no go i tried fastboot erase data fastboot erase system fastboot erase cache it all displays sucesfull next reboot the same stock rom like i never touched anything i even tried factory reset in stock recovery it wont work it says done. like its completed but it doesnt do anything any help is apprecieted
Disclaimer: I am by no means an expert! But I have flashed twrp to 2 Moto Gs this week.
What I needed to do after flashing the recovery, was going immediately to recovery without rebooting.
When I rebooted after flashing the recovery I also got the 'no command' guy. But going to recovery from the bootloader menu after flashing worked for me.

Thank you for replying i already tried that but it doesnt work i tried twrp cwm recovery you name it it doesnt work .Hm what i dont get i erased the whole stock os with fastboot erase data fastboot erase system and it still boots in to the os only tought that comes in to my mind is that the bootloader is corrupted messed up .Or is the eMMC it has errors .I dont know what to do i tried all or maybe the phone is stolen and it wont accept any permissions but i doubt it i get no errors in fastboot and trough flashing and factory reset all completed sucesfully .I dont know what to do .This is a tough one if i only had riff box jtag to try that Do you know some custom bootloader can you link me ?
You need to flash original stock 5.1 rom for your phone..From this link you have tutorial how to do it. You must do it because your partitions and file system is messed up..With this stock rom will be fixed bootloader and partitions..
After install stock rom you could install twrp again and any custom rom..
thank you kind sir i will try that thank you
why???
I done as it says in the tutorial cmd returns all okay when i finished the instalation the some old os locked screen same old recovery same thing nohing changed i done everything correct why mate do you know the reason i even put android 5.02 .Its like i never touched anything i done all right
