Okay so I tried to flash cyanogenmod 11 for the first time on this moto G (US). It bootlooped and I tired to reflash it again and it did the same. There was no way of returning to stock because I had not made a backup. So I tried to flash stock in the bootloader and that didn't work. I went into the recovery and it said 'cant mount /sdcard. So go back into the bootloader and format the sdcard and that doesn't work (which I returned to the recovery to see it not working). I go back and flash twrp thinking that recovery would have something to help me flash a new rom and now I don't even have a working recovery. It takes me straight back to the bootloader and every time I flash a recovery it says Mismatched partition size (recovery) and I am unable to boot into it.
I have no clue on what to do at this point and I need help.
also it says invalid "boot image header!" in red letters

Alright thankyou!
I got everything to work again but I still can't flash roms. They just bootloop :S
It could be too big recovery install with fastboot causes problem, every recovery cwm/twrp i tried to install with fastboot fails.

Twrp_MotoG_signed_010814_163615.zip
Download vocoderisms TWRP build, extract "recovery.img" from it.
After you have kitkat installed and working:
Option 1, use TWRP without install:
Boot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader), boot twrp (fastboot boot recovery.img) and install rom from there.
Option 2, install TWRP (have not tested):
Upload twrp zip to phone (adb push Twrp_MotoG_signed_010814_163615.zip /sdcard/), boot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader), boot twrp (fastboot boot recovery.img), install Twrp_MotoG_signed_010814_163615.zip.

You do know flashing stock again removes root, so it has to be rerooted again ?

Yes I am very aware and followed through with root with that outcome.

CWM doesn't work it. It boots up (Im used cyanogenmod) the cyanogenmod boot animation but just stays there.

guys plz help me
I thought I am the only one with this problem..After mailing the phone to SC and got it back after 2 months, the phone still looks the same, just like they did nothing to fix it.
can i fastboot flash a rom or other zip? i've run into a problem after flashing a rom that wont boot and twrp wont mount data or my internal storage so i cant flash anything else. any help would be appretiated
I dont know how to do it, but have heard you can use the sideload feature of the twrp recovery to flash a rom. Or you could try flashing the new twrp recovery if your not on the new one. The new twrp 2.8.0.3 recovery was released on 9-30-14 last I checked its not updated on xda yet but you can get it on the twrp recovery web site which its on the link below, its the newest one on the bottom of the list.

worse case scenario, run the RUU, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then install ROM in recovery.
Honestly, you might as well apply the whole RUU and get yourself back to a working stock before putting another custom ROM back on. Follow the OP in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2873144
I tried every method possible and none worked, I recently cracked my screen so I just took this as a sign and went ahead and got it replaced with insurance. Thanks for all the suggestions
did your recovery constantly reboot into a white htc screen ?

Are you using the correct Vzw version of twrp or cwm?
hi all,
today morning i just got an update. when i tried to install it goes to twrp recovery. so i am unable to update. i tried flashing the update zip (copied from android/data/..../cm-bacon-7be...90510ef.zip), it fails in twrp recovery.
now some search resulted that i must go to stock recovery to update that.
i figured that i can flash stock recovery using " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ", but i dont know which recovery to flash. and i am still wondering is it the correct method?(if yes, please take some time to link me to that recovery or just attach recovery of cyanogen).
any suggestions on how to revert to stock recovery or updating manually??
thanks!!!
ps: iam complete newbie, if you find this as duplicate or annoying or anything that prevents to answer above que. please teach me, i am ready!!
U can try this

Stock recovery:

Download it and rename it to "recovery.img", then flash with fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I did this today and works perfect:

Currently my mi4i is rooted with TWRP recovery.
I want to install OTA updates and for that i need my stock recovery.
I have tried following three ways to get back stock recovery but none of them work for me
Flashed stock recovery through Flashify app. Flash was successful but reboot to recovery stucks at fastboot screen.
Flashed stock recovery through adb but again after successful flash, device stucks at fastboot screen.
Finally i tried to install stock recovery in twrp itself but it returned following error:
could not find 'meta-inf/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file
Can anyone guide what am I doing wrong and what should be done? Any help is appreciated.
Bro, thing is mi recovery.img has many problems. It doesn't work like that. Only thing u can do is flash via fastboot.

Thanks for replying!
I will flash via fastboot. Only issue I have is that this manual process has to be repeated everytime i want to install updates. This is why I was trying to get my stock recovery back. Though it seems like there isn't much that can be done regarding this.
I have two devices where install TWRP dont work.
They are unlocked and i try many times to flash it via fastboot but booting into recovery ends in stock recovery.
Is there any solution to install TWRP or lineageos another way?
it was the issue that recovery is overwritten on stock rom start if the system has ever made an update
