My MOTO G (XT1032) IS BRICKED
I was running Android 4.4.4 official stock rom. I decided to remove everything and flash android 4.4.2 stock rom.
So I was failing to flash motoboot.img. I tried everything but it dindt work. I then deleted everything, system cache etc through recovery and still the same error: Failed to flash motoboot.img
And when I try other UNBRICK tutorials you need adb working (to place an custom rom via adb to /sdcard. The problem is ADB is not working when I type in adb devices I get: List of devices attached. but I can't see my phone's ID. Its is just empty.
So fastboot is working (when I type in fastboot devices I get the phones ID), But ADB is not working.
How to solve this huge problem??
Thanks in advance.

Are you using adb while you are in recovery? It won't work in fastboot mode.
No I'm using fastboot, but problem already solved. The problem was with the files gpt.bin and motoboot.img. All the other files from stock rom are flashing correctly.
So I downloaded 4.4.4 Stock Rom (Verizon US version) and copied gpt.bin and motoboot.img from there and pasted in the 4.4.2 Stock Rom folder. Then I flashed all files and it worked !

try using regular fastboot from the android sdk platform tools
and the latest TWRP build
and use this command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-xt1032.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-xt1032.img
make sure to the recovery img file in the same folder where fastboot and adb files are

though at the same time it is connected in fastboot and adb.
Please Help

You need to be in boot loader mode when using fastboot.

Yes, I know that.
My phone connects with fastboot but not mfastboot which is needed to flash the stock firmware
try
mfastboot devices
If your device connected ,then cmd will show some device id.Then try flashing.
Did you placed mfastboot.exe in adb folder????xd

I used fastboot when flashing on my device. They are virtually the same thing.
I wiped all my memory while had cm 12.1 official, i can't flash via fastboot the stock 5.02 ( i get FAILED(data transfer failure( too many links))) while flashing motoboot.img or sometimes boot.img and both cmd and moto g crashes.
I tried to adb sideload(twrp 2.8.6.0) the cm 12 but my pc don't see the device (tried with minimal adb and fastboot and full SDK), I really dont know what to try now can you help me?
If you need additional informations just ask. Thanks.

I haven't the cable, I'll buy it if is the only solution.
Have you tried flashing a stock 4.4.4 ROM to your phone via fastboot to at least get it booted? Don't flash anything older than 4.4.4.

Tried, i get error in while flashing gpt.bin <(bootloader) preflash validation failed>. My friend has OTG cable, today i try.
3 days ago I got a lollipop ota update to my fe170cg. Everything is cool except rooting. I want to root this device like a used to do at kitkat.
But I couldn't find any solution to root this device. I also tried VampireFo's tethered CWM recovery but no luck with that it is not even flashing CWM because of the tigth locked asus lollipop bootloader. I also tried to downgrade to kitkat because of the lollipop recovery But I couldn't downgrade. Now I have no more chance to root this device. And no chance to downgrade to kitkat as well. So I decided to ask professionals like you. I really need help!!. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks from now for any response.

Hey there!
Not sure this will help you or not..for me it just doing good. Try use fastboot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
Then you need you flash the a stock firmware. UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user
Download the appropriate firmware from Asus website. There are three .img files in the firmware zip file (fastboot.img, boot.img, splashscreen.img).
Copy all these three files to the extracted folder. Now type the following command in the command window one by one:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then you get your droidboot back.

:good::good::good: Thank you so much dude..:highfive: :victory: Now it is working ..
I have converted Moto G XT1032 to GPE and am running 5.1. I am using TWRP recovery and SuperSU root.
I am unable to do an OTA update and I have read that in order to do that I will have to flash factory images. So I have downloaded the latest Moto G factory image for the GPE.
So can someone please tell me how do I go about doing it? All the guides I see are about flashing GPE from stock Motorola and none about reflashing a factory image on a GPE device.

Okay I think I have done something horrible.
When I started the process I missed the first few commands and started at like the 4th command. Midway I realized what I have done and then I decided to start again. I did the whole process in order and now my phone simply won't boot past the google logo screen. I can still boot into bootloader and the phone responds to fastboot commands. Booting into recovery shows a broken Android with an exclamation mark in between thing.
Can you please help me? Have I bricked my phone?
Download and use mfastboot: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347778493
Skip the flash motoboot.img command. Provide a log if you still have problems - copy and paste command prompt - provide screenshots.

Required files are in this zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982086993793
Put everything into the same folder as firmware image files.
