Always booting recovery - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Im using CDMA Moto G XT1031.
I have tried every possible way to go back stock but the phone refuses. Even stock recovery will not show the red exclamation mark and continuous bootloops.
I have tried TWRP but no luck. Only Philz works, so I tapped Clean to install new ROM and flashed CM 11 Nightly via USB OTG (because sideload was not working however fastboot works)
Now even CM refuses to start and throws me back to recovery.
Please help
Thanks

But is it safe to flash a GSM image on CDMA just to revive it from virtually dead since factory recovery is also not working, only Philz works?

the point is that you must flash your moto g with a higher android version from what your moto g installed,...example if you have this problem on 4.3 so you must flash 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 and if on 4.4.2,so flash with 4.4.4..if for this time 4.4.4 update for cdma moto g was not yet available,i think u must wait until 4.4.4 update's coming.
i think cdma and gsm img is a different.

[Q] Moto G XT1032 restore from GPe 4.4.4 to Stockrom 4.4.2

Hey folks,
i got a serious issue with my MotoG...
I tried to install/flash the GPe Rom (Android 4.4.2) here from xda and it fully worked. After the install process i received the OTA Update to Android 4.4.4 and installed it with the stock recovery. The result was a working up to date GPe rom where i deleted some system apps. I rebooted the phone and got stuck at the boot logo from Google with the unlocked symbol. A full wipe and reflash of the GPe Rom didn't fixed the problem. The phone sticks at the boot logo. After this i tried to reflash the Motorola Rom which didnt fixed it either....
My guess is that the OTA Update from GPe changed something which can't be fixed with older firmware flashes...!?
After a couple of hours of work i pushed via adb my CWM backup to the internal storage and restored it. My Moto booted and i was finally able to get it back to run the stockrom.
Then i saw something weird... The google logo with the unlock symbol stays and then the motorola boot logo appears and im not able to flash via fastboot other rom
Anyone experience similar or the same problem after restore from GPe 4.4.4 to lower Android version 4.4.2?
Thanks in advance for help and tipps
Flamey
many peopla have bricked phones right now
we have to wait for fastboot images of 444 or gpe 444

Yeah I'm luckily half bricked..
Can't flash stock..
Stuck with CM based ROMs..
I go either side and my phone dies..

[Q] I need help with an OTA update on my rooted Moto G?

Okay so basically, today I got the request of installing the Android 4.4.4 kitkat update on my rooted moto g. I press yes and that my phone shut off as it's meant to be. Then this is when the problem occurs; when it turns back on it goes to TWRP and it goes the the normal page of TWRP. I reboot my phone to try again and the same thing happens. Can someone help me to get rid of this problem and to install the Android 4.4.4 kitkat update on my rooted moto g? Will be much appreciated :good:
P.S: The Android update was from Google.
Installing an OTA on a Rooted Phone with Custom Recovery is not advisable!

I tried too and the installation stops and comes out an error with /system/framework/core.odex.
I tried to flash again stock recovery but it persists..

Same here. Had to flash stock recovery from bootloader (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) and then reboot, and let the phone reboot and apply the system update.
All is good, and it kept root... No need to have the system breaking TWRP on there.
I get an error while updating, it just says ''error''. I have stock kernel, stock recovery, unrooted... Nothing seems to work, but I think the problem might be that I have a custom boot animation. Is there any way to flash the 4.4.2 stock UK rom?

Do you have a moto g ? I did a factory reset which meant that the update wouldn''t keep shutting down my phone and then it would go to TWRP. So how do I install the 4.4.4 update?

how to fix it.
use latest recovery. flash cwm iff twrp is not working. recovery has nothing to do with baseband, it will load irrespective of it. try going into recovery via adb or via fastboot.

I flashed all recoveries but every recovery shows blank screen. And are you sure that baseband isn't respinsible?
Windows 8.1 may have this problem ?

Dude. Mototool does flashing things automatically. If I can flash manually why do I need mototool. I don't like to use these tools. I have flashed recovery bro but can't access it. This problem is with everyone with 4.4.4 out of the box :/

[Q] CM 12 in XT1033 (Not converted into GPE)

My Moto G is XT1033 varient. I didnt converted it into GPE. Its just normal XT1033 out of box. I unlocked the bootloader and then flash TWRP (2.8.0.1-xt1032) recovery to install CM12. But when i booted into recovery, i got flickering screen. Then i flashed Philz Touch (philz_touch_6.58.7-falcon) and installed CM 12 official by wiping data, system and cache. But i cant get pass through the boot logo. Is there any way to get latest TWRP for XT1033 varient. How can i flash CM 12 in my XT1033 varient without converting it into GPE.
Flash CM11 first. Then flash CM12 over it. Though dual sim is not working on XT1033.
Ok. If i flashed CM 12 through CM 11 will i get one sim working?
Anyway, in CM12 thread, they mentioned that we need L compatible recovery. What will happen if i flashed CM11 using Philz (Which i think Kitkat compatible recovery.) Will it work on Lollipop. And since, i trapped in bootscreen, how can i flash CM11 without copy it to my mobile. Thanks.
I downloaded CM 11. But i cant copy that to my mobile, since it cant surpass the boot screen. i tried adb sideload and adb push. But permission denied. Please help me on this.

1. No dual sim or just one sim in slot will not work
2. I used philz to flash cm12 and had no problems.
So you didnt convert XT1033 to GPE?
How long it will take to boot up for first time?

how to root Moto G 4G android 5.1

hi.
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader on my moto G 4G (LTE) or XT1039 that has been upgraded to android 5.1
But using old procedure to root it(for android 4.4.4), i doesn't work. I have tried with booting twrp (for the xt1032) and it gets stuck at the motorola logo it displays when shutting down. So it doesn't reboot.
I tried the twrp for xt1032. And it's the same.
I tried twrp for the moto titan but this time seems to become dead. But it's ok to reboot it
I tried the chainfire CAFR autoroot dot chainfire dot eu but the red android never show up and it jsut reboots as normal.
I don't want to flash a custom recovery or a custom rom. I just want to root it. That's why I have unlocked the booloader in the first place.
Anyone got a working solution ?
Is it garanteed it will work with a custom recovery ? and flash a custom rom ?

Sorry for the noise but one of these method in fact DID work because I have now root, as I have just discovered by surprise. Could someone delete this thread.
