I use the dual sim version of Moto G, XT1033.
Currently, I am unable to boot into recovery. The exact message I'm getting is -
'Invalid boot image size!
failed to validate recovery image'
'Boot up failed'
Because of this, I cannot revert to any nandroid backup. Recovery refuses to boot.
When I try to flash the stock ROM through fastboot, this is the message I'm getting
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The flash simply fails.
However, my phone is still working. But it's on a nightly version of unofficial CM11, which has a systemui fc bug. The October 11, 2014 version - to be precise. Prior to this every nightly I downloaded would update by booting into CWM and then updating. Ever since this one, I am unable to boot into the recovery. I don't know whether it has been caused by the nightly or some internal error, but I am unable to revert to stock. The force close bugs are getting ridiculous now;they've been more frequent since the past few days.
Is there any way I could get back to stock?
I got it to work by flashing an old version of CWM again.
Back to stock 4.4

I'm getting some troubling errors when going to install a Rom on my nexus 7. And Yes its rooted. II boot into recovery using TWRP do the factory reset. When I try and flash I get an error saying "Error executing updater binary in zip"Then "error flashing zip" I Have tried multiple ROMs with the same error, same error when tryin the sony sony bravia engine 2 or 3. The Odd thing Is when I flash a gapps either 4.4.4 or 4.4.3 flashes just fine. I have experience rooting and flashing Roms onto multiple phones so Im not just a newb. Any Help would be tight!

Hi there
Today I went from a working phone to a not working one. It all started when i wanted to do a factory reset.
I was on Franko r20 and on the second latest cynogen verison (can't remember the number). Since i wanted to flash the latest update i put the stock kernel on my phone and flashed it in
CWM directly on my phone. After that the phone didn't boot into the system. It just shows the boot icon.
Then used a guide to reflash every single OS component via fastboot . Still the same. No boot into system. Also cyanogen mod recovery couldnt find a data partition. AFter that i flashed TWRP. But like before TWRP also can't find /sdcard. It won't let me mount *data"
I also did a full factory wipe.
However when I reboot the phone I noticed that after a while the capacitive buttons light up and the phone makes key sounds when I tap the screen and lock sounds when I push the off button. It seems the phone is booted but I still get the regular OPO boot image on my screen.
Can anyone help me with this matter?
EDIT: This is how my TWRP console looks after trying to do a factory reset / wipe:

I made it worse. I use the post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57531277&postcount=79 and because when I tried to flash fastboot it said command not allowed, I use the dd command in twrp and flased it. But now I have a black screen and vibrate.
If you can get into fastboot, or TWRP, have it running TWRP 3.0.2.0 again and flash a correct ROM for the TWRP version.
As long as you have a recovery it should be repairable.
If you can get it on Marshmallow, use this SuperSU, but make sure you look in the recovery options and mount partitions writeable.

No need for root until on the ROM you want to run.
Dead black screen
Despite all the good posts on here I have been unable to get my phone out of a boot loop, and am now quite desperate for help please!
If anyone can point me in the direction of a rom or kernel that will definitively work on my phone I will be eternally grateful
It was ok until I decided to unlock bootloader and root it.
Unlock bootloader went well, as did flashing TWRP and also CWM – I have a suspicion that it was rooting with OneClickRoot caused the problem.
After over a day of failure I discovered how to do ADB Sideload at this thread: I used CM11 I got from this thread: and also tried a Stock one from here:
sadly nothing worked, and I'm now afraid of filling my phone storage with large files. I have added some screen shots of my failed attempts with TWRP & CWM
they both fail, and TWRP does warn me not to reboot as I have no OS installed, but I had to keep on trying.
Another weird thing is that I cannot always reboot to recovery from the Hboot screen and have to re-flash a recovery image each time.

Hey guys, hoping someone with more knowledge then me can help me out here. I tried to install a custom from and may have bricked my phone as at the moment when it starts it just goes to a menu screen which has some options on it like wipe data and cache, advanced and exit. I can reboot to fastboot but cant go into recovery anymore. So this is what I did:
I did the adb OEM unlock
installed TWRP
then downgraded to oxygen 10.3.11 with the stock rom
then decided to upgrade to havoc android 11 and installed the from but there were too many issues
so I decided to go back to my oxygen rom. went into twrp reset the device and it went into a boot loop
At this point I could go into recovery so I mounted a USB drive and flashed the stock Oxyegn OS 10.3.11 again
Now I cant go into recovery anymore and the phone does not start up other than into the menu mentioned above.
Can I get some advice please on the steps I need to do to get my phone working again
Thanks

Try 9.0.9 rom instead. Its a transition rom to 10.
