I'm unable to flash any custom recovery on my Motog XT1033 after upgrading to Brazil Lollipop update. Mine is Asian model, I installed brazil OTA.
When ever I flash TWRP or CWM I always get black screen with multiple flickering white lines.
Any body help me ?

If you've flashed a custom kernel its the most likely reason for the problem in my experience, but also I think CWM and TWRP don't handle the OTAs well (Philz recovery does). So you need to be on Philz or stock recovery (which will mean re-rooting afterwards if you go stock) and stock kernel for your region.

No i didn't flash anything. Just bootloader unlocked and rooted with this method - http://www.modaco.com/topic/366771-root-your-moto-g-option-1-superboot
Hi Guys,
I just received the XT1033 Lollipop notification and clicked upgrade.... Unfortunately the upgrade failed and I suspect perhaps that's because I have clockworkmod installed instead of the stock recovery?
Where do I go from here? How do I get my phone so the upgrade installs successfully?
I'm in New Zealand if that matters. Not sure if you get a different OTA update per country?
Also note, the phone is still working fine (ie not bricked or anything), just the upgrade is failing to install
Flash a stock ROM or gpe and upgrade from there.

Which ROM, does it matter?
I keep seeing stock roms for Brazil/India/Asia, but I live in NZ so I'm not sure what to install. There doesn't seem to be any NZ roms
Plus none of the links in "how to restore to stock" tutorials and faq's seem to work anymore
Can you point me in the right direction please?
You can still install official lollipop if your phone has bootloader unlocked and custom recovery but I would suggest starting from scratch. If you bought phone from anywhere in Asia then flash stock asian KitKat ROM and if you bought it from Brazil then flash stock Brazilian KitKat rom. After that you can update your phone to official lollipop.
PS- there is no NZ ROMs for xt1033. Only Asian and Brazilian. It depends on the region from where you buy the phone, not where you live.
I bought it in NZ...
Aha! I found in the phone settings it says 210.12.40.falcon_umtsds.AsiaRetail.en.03
Asia rom it is then, I'll go try it out

You should not need to unlock bootloader to flash the fastboot firmware image.

he has cwm.that means unlocked bootloader.
Flash 5.0.2 firmware.no need to revert to 4.4.4 or use ota since lollipop flashable imge now available for xt1033 asia retail.
After many soft bricks I ended up in stock 4.4.4 US retail. Although I did upgrade Motorola Update, it says there's no new system software (5.0).
How do I upgrade from 4.4.4 US retail (stock) to 5.0? Is there an OTA file for US? I already searched everywhere, but can't seem to find it.
I could also go to 4.4.4 stock Brasil or Argentina and then apply the OTA, but right now my phone only boots if I install a firmware via recovery (ZIP file), not flashing it with fastboot. And I couldn't find installable ZIP files for 4.4.4 stock Brasil or Argentina.
I'm not sure if you could get the ota update officially (as in the new software available thing).
You could try out the 5.0.2 version from some other reason or you could check out some custom ROM.

If your phone works on 4.4.4 Retail, it will probably work with Telus 4.4.4. I had GPE 4.4 on my xt1032 8 GB, flashed back to retail 4.4.4, then flashed to Telus 4.4.4, updated Moto apps, got the Telus OTA update to 5.02.
So where can I get this Telus 4.4.4 firmware? Is it flashable from recovery (ZIP)? Remember fastboot flashes don't work since the first time I softbricked my phone.

When you boot your phone into fastboot and you type "fasboot devices", it doesn't return you phone's serial number?
I don't think there is a Lollipop OTA for USA retail yet.

Android 5.0 USA Retail is not officially released. I would suggest audit13's method.

Fastboot does work. It flashes the firmware with no errors, but the phone won't boot afterwards. I don't know why, but it happens since I first softbricked my phone.
I used to have Retail USA 4.4.4 on my Telus xt1032.
If you really want 5.02, you could try flashing the stock Telus 4.4.4, update motorola apps, and install the 5.02 OTA update.

Flash a gpt.bin file of some other firmware and then flash a ROM or flash GPE 4.4.4 firmware and then continue.

Yes you can directly downgrade. Avoid flashing motoboot.IMG since as of now there are changes of bricking. You'll have screen flicker only on GPE 4.4.4. After flashing thee screen will not flicker any more.

Dear friends
I am facing a serious issue with moto g xt1033 indian version. I explained what I did. It is my friend's phone.
The phone is updated to Lollipop 5.0.2 through OTA. (Not through flashing OTA zip)
I unlocked bootloader, and flashed twrp recovery 2.8.6
Then flashed cm12.1 20150515 nightly and super su 2.46. Everything went fine and the mobile booted in to cm12.
But there is no signal in both of the sims.
So I searched in google a lot and find the below thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/guide-cm12-moto-g-t2952031
I saw the below at first step of the thread
Do not flash CM12 if you flashed lollipop OTA.. It will hard brick your mobile
But the mobile is didnt flashed OTA zip. it is normally updated through OTA
If it is the reason then give me a solution to recover the phone
And I did install the GPE 4.4.2 as mentioned at option 1
But it get struck at boot logo.
After that I flashed stock 5.0.2 Asian retail firmware through fastboot. Every thing went fine. But again it stuck at boot logo.
If I flashed cm12 or any stock zip files It get boot but no signal.
I searched a lot and cant find the solution.
Please give me a solution to recover my phone.
Still I can access fastboot
Check if your IMEI number is still present. Does WiFi work?
