Tried with TWRP & Philz touch not working either.
Does the latest CWM support Android 4.4.4??

Dude Help me out on this... Is there some issue with the hardware or with the software.. can't figure it out

When you flashing the recovery through fastboot its shows any warning message?
When flashing is done just make sure your recovery is working, by entering into the recovery...

are you using mfastboot or fastboot to flash it?
i use mfastboot since normal fastboot wont let me flash big img files like the recovery

I recently acquired a moto g here in india via flipkart that came preinstalled with android 4.4.4 and yes i have the same problem of not getting any recovery to work since all of them boot to a weird black screen with random white lines appearing haphazardly. In fact the closest i have come to getting a proper recovery is when i installed the twrp 2.7.1.1 although it too off started of as black screen with weird lines i left it that way till the screen turned off and once it did, i pressed the power button and voila the recovery had successfully loaded.
However touch and HW buttons weren't working but i definitely reached the padlocked screen of twrp. So i tried another thing i had read on the forums here @ xda that sometimes letting the screen go off in recovery once makes it work but even that didnt work. Now the thing is does the recovery work ? that is in its most essential function taking backups and installing zips yes it does so. But since both the above functions require the actual use of recovery itself which isnt possible so i used twrp app for android and installed it and used that to make backups and install zips; both of which worked. Now it goes without saying root access is must for using of this app and i got rooted using the modaco/paul o'brian superboot method and hence was able to use twrp app. Hope this provides everybody a better clarity on our situation and make the devs for recovery solve our problem. Good Luck.
P.S Downgrading to 4.4.2 wont help as it will give the black screen witnessed on trying to boot into recovery(I already tried that)

So. It must becoz of the incompatibility of the recoveries with the new boot loader/firmware or what ever ?
The bootloader version of all those with 4.4.4 is 41.13. So it must be the issue with recovery.
The root can also be acquired by flashing cwm recovery and installing supersu from playstore.

There are chances that the HTC people locked it again. (They usually format whichever phone they get to lay hands on)
Try going through the rooting procedure again (starting from unlocking)

Simple mate follow the procedure of putting recovery through fastboot you did after unlocking the bootloader..
Edit: Flash the recovery using fastboot through command prompt.. Then you will get the recovery again and install roms.

Hi, I need some help
I usually wore the device, until it shut down, when I tried to turn on again, he was stuck on motorola logo screen
I already tried to enter in the bootloader and do a hard reset, but still not passing from the motorola screen.

Just use this fastboot to install any custom recovery you prefer. Dont let your cell phone reboot into the OS or the custom recovery you installed will be replaced by the stock one!

Working custom recovery for NEW bootloader (5.0.1) ?

Hello guys.!
I have a xt1032 and since first day in my hands it is coverted to GPE firmware. Now I did the clean 4.4.4 flash and 5.0.1 OTA in sequence.
This procedure upgraded the device bootloader. And im trying to use a custom recovery. Installing Philz, CWM or TWRP presents the same behavior. The recovery boots but its not working properly. The screen keeps flickering, and thats ok for me. The worst thing is that I cant flash any zip package. The recovery seems to flash normally, But after booting android there is nothing flashed.
I think its related to the new bootloader. Is it happening just with me?

[Q] Problem with recovery - MOTO G LTE - 4.4.4

I've just bought Moto G LTE and tried to get root. I've already unlocked bootloader, downloaded CWM 6.0.5.0 peregrine and tried to boot it with fastboot boot CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img. Then it entered CWM but after few seconds screen went black and it didn't respond to anything and I needed to hold power button to reboot. The same thing is with last TWRP 2.7.1.0 - peregrine. I don't want to flash recovery until I can boot it in because I'm afraid something could go wrong. Within these few seconds in CWM before the screen got dark I flashed SuperSU so I have root. But I'd like to have working recovery.
Please, is there any guide to solve it?
