Hello,
I have followed the tutorials to unlock the bootloader of my moto G 4G : the bootloader is unlocked and I have removed the message when starting the phone with this tutorial : forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/logo-remove-bootloader-unlocked-warning-t2794104
Anyway, I would like now to install a recovery CWM with this tutorial :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/recovery-unofficial-cwm-6-0-5-0-t2818161
But when I do so, I have the following message on the screen of my phone : "Mismatch partition size (recovery)"
And when I boot on the bootloader then select recovery but nothing appears, just a black screen.
The status code of my bootloader is : 3 and it says "Device is unlocked".
I can boot to CWM from the computer with : fastboot boot recovery.img
but when I type : fastboot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img I get this error.
Can someone help me please ?
Thank you in advance.

I got this problem when installing CWM too. I believed the problem is in this line:
fastboot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img

instead, you could try this:
fastboot boot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img
When I did this, it worked. Give it a try. You could also try this little program, I changed CWM to TWRP with it.

Hello Hello,
Thank you for answering.
The command : fastboot boot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img doesn't work because there is too much arguments. It gives me that answer :
cannot load 'flash': No such file or directory
I retried the right command but still the same problem.
I also tried the small program given by this URL on linux : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/moto-g-4g-easyrecovery-toolkit-t2856710
My computer under Ubuntu fails to recognize the device. The device shown is empty.
I will try it on windows then come back here to tell you what happened.

I have the same issue with this program under linux or windows, it doesn't recognize my device. I have activated USB debug, tried under bootloader or with the phone normally started but nothing better.
only fastboot boot recovery.img works.
You have to flash the recovery with mfastboot from motorola when flashing partitions else you will get the size mismatched error.
Standard fastboot is only good for basic things such as getvar etc.
Always flash with mfastboot and it will not error out.
So the command will then be mfastboot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img which should then work without issues

Hello, I have bought the phone less than one month ago.
It was directly on 4.4.4 after unpacking.
Have you tried renaming the CWM file? Maybe the "-" are a problem although I highly doubt it. Did you try re downloading the file? Running the command window as an administrator? Last resort, you could use TWRP, I'm running on this currently and haven't had any problems installing/flashing ROMs with it and imo prefer it over CWM.

I have tried both and they both have the same problem :/ CWM as well as TWRP...
Still no idea what happens.

Is it normal when entering the bootloader to have the message :

Is it the right status code ?

Yes its normal if you have unlocked your bootloader
To get back to stock, download a stock Fw for your device model and region, you can find a link for one if you enter the moto g section of this site and head to moto 4g lte android development section (only section specifically for peregrine model) unpack the fw files into your fastboot directory (windows) reboot your phone to fastboot mode (where u saw the status code) then press control + shift + right click to launch a command prompt window here (from within fastboot directory in windows) then copy and paste these fastboot commands 1 by 1 pressing enter each time until compete.

So you mean, it is compulsory to have stock ROM in order to install the recovery ?
Because my problem is not to return to stock, it is to install a proper recovery (CWM or TWRP) in order to boot on it without my computer.
Thanks for your help
No but I think your problem is you have corrupt the recovery partition size maybe through bad flash or something so ur unable now to flash a recovery as the partition size is for different device or damaged and flashing cwm will no longer work as the cwm image is too big or too small for the allocation assigned to it as the devices core partition table has changed (can happen when u flash something for the falcon when you have a peregrine), I would flash back to stock via that method to restore to stock partition sizes and then reroot and flash cwm again after, just a guess from my own understanding.
Sent from my XT1039 using XDA Free mobile app
Guys I had the same trouble installing the recovery with the mismatched partition size message. This message is normal and the recovery is already installed on your device. The problem i had when selecting the recovery with the following black screen was that I used the Power Button instead of the up Button.
5) using volume down scroll to recovery and then use volume up to select
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 !
Hey Guys,
I rooted my device a while ago and everyday had to dismiss the OTA update for the last few months. The other night I accidentally accepted the OTA and know my phone is stuck in a bootloop when connected to power. I'm occasionally able to get into Fastboot mode for RSD to see the phone, ADB will not see the phone. When I attempt to select Recovery or Factory the phone bootloops. I have also tried House of Moto and that didn't work.I have tried flashing all the files located at sbf with no luck. In Fastboot the Device is listed as UNLOCKED with a Status Code: 1.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
When I flash using House of Moto I get an error for the following:
gpt.bin
motoboot.img
logo.bin
boot.img
recovery.img
system.img
NON-HLOS.bin

Does it ever actually boot up and then just restarts? Or are you never getting to the homescreen?
no home screen
Hi,
It won't even boot loop unless it's connected to power. When it is it just boot loops, tried everything but can't get past the boot loop. Spent countless hours trying to make any progress.
try flashing TWRP from fastboot
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery name.img
if you get into recovery try restoring a nandroid
if that doesnt work, make sure you are flashing the appropriate SBF from the update you were in teh process of taking. My bet is somehow your device got partially updated (bootloader) so you are now unable to flash the SBF you were prevously on. ie. you were on 4.2.2, and took the 4.4 update, you need to flash the SBF for 4.4, not 4.2.2
Once you get back up and running, make sure you disable the Moto OTA app using titanium or the like. That should prevent the phone from trying to take an update again.
Still no luck
Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I'm not sure which firmware it was trying to install so I installed all the firmwares available via House of Moto and still no luck. Tried performing a Full and Keep Data and still the phone will continue to boot loop. One thing I did notice during the install using House of Moto I see the following error multiple times:
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
I got this error on all 5 firmwares.
Any ideas...

what version of android were you on prior to this happening. What version was the OTA attempting to update you to?
I think I was on Android 4.4 Blur_Version.19.5.3.obake_verizon.Verizon.en.US, not 100% sure what it was trying to install 4.4.4 or 4.4 19.6.3.
Tried House of Moto again and on the 4.2.2 12.15.15 and 4.4.4 I don't get the (bootloader) Variable not supported! error. The phone still boot loops.

have you tried with the latest version of RSD lite?
If so make sure you edit the XML file to remove the part about erasing userdata
lets try this too... go to sbf.droid-developers.org and download this file for the maxx "Android 4.4.4
Blur_Version.21.11.21.obake_verizon.Verizon.en.US"
Install the latest moto device manager and RSD lite, then try flashing (might erase userdata)
If that does not work, you can manually flash each file in fastboot, lmk if any of that works
last Q, do you have a motorola factory cable?
Tried with and without removing the getvar file and no luck, still stuck in an endless boot loop when connected to power. ADB still doesn't see the device even in Fastboot mode. Never flashed each file in fastboot individual doesn't that require ADB?

no you dont use adb from fastboot, you use "fastboot"
Lets see if we can get you booted to a recovery. Download this file, save it as recovery.img in your ADB directory.
boot to fastboot and run this command to determine fastboot sees the device
Code:
fastboot devices
If you see your device, then run the next command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then try to boot to recovery. post result (make sure when you highlight "recovery" in fastboot you use volume up to select it. I just made the mistake of using power and my phone wouldnt boot to recovery)
Hi,
after an apparently failed attempt to install the 5.0 OTA update my XT1032 now will boot to a droid lying on its back.
I went to the recovery from there (by pressing VolUp+Power) and did the "factory reset/wipe data" and rebooted.
Same result.
I did "wipe chache". Same result: Droid lying on its back, saying "Kein Befehl" (I guess that means "no command")
I can get into recovery mode (CWM was installed before all this*) so I could try to flash stuff from outside.
But what should I try to flash? I tried flashing a (supposedly) stock system but as soon as I start with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the phone starts booting again. So I am not really sure what to do now.
Something is seriously wrong with this phone and I would like to restore it to stock settings. I bought it on amazon.DE - so if any one of you guys knows where I could find a truly original stock image for this phone and what to do with it, please let me know.
PS: Right now I can't even get into recovery anymore. The thing just keeps booting and booting. Can't even turn it off.
* meaning: before I flashed the supposed stock recovery that apparently, in combination with the OTA update, got me into this mess
I now followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47820707#post47820707
I used option 3b with a 4.4.4 rom ( RETAIL-DE_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF )
I excuted all these commands. However, upon flashing the boot.img the phone immediately boots (and gets stuck).
So I re-entered fastboot again to finish the job. Everything else went fine.
But the problem persists: When booting, the phone now displays the "Warning: Bootloader unlocked" message for a long time, with a kind of water ripple effect from bottom to top, repeating.
When I switch it off, it switches back on automatically, trying to boot and getting stuck at this screen. Sometimes I get to the droid lying on its back with a red !-Triangle on top. Poor little bugger. Soft bricked.
What can I do to fix this?
I can still enter fastboot.
I assume that yet again I grabbed the wrong ROM.
Is this supposed to be dead? http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
I think you might be on lollipop bootloader as you are having a screen flickering issue & downgrading the boatloader might be dangerous.
I'm don't know whether it will solve your problem but try flashing a lollipop firmware.
I'm not allowed to post links. Google for XT 1032 lollipop firmware. I saw one in groupandroid website.
Download the firmware from the site & execute the given commands.

Thank you. I got that file.
"adb devices" won't find my phone, though.
"Fastboot devices" does. So I can't use "adb push ..." to move the ROM to the phone.
Also, whatever option I chose from the Fastboot Flash Mode, the phone starts to boot. So I can not "enter" Recovery.
Should I just use "fastboot update rom.zip"? I don't wan't to miss my last chance to revive this phone.
ADB commands will not work in with the phone fastboot mode.
Since fastboot commands do work, you can manually flash each partition from the stock ROM. Entering recovery isn't required to do this.

The problem here is that the phone will boot as soon as I flash the boot.img and the whole thing fails.
Do you see a way out of this situation?
Any way to do this with a .zip ROM?
Have you tried flashing different firmware such as the GPE for your phone?
Does boot.img flash properly? If it does, you could try installing TWRP, boot into TWRP, mount the data partition, and use your computer to copy a custom ROM to the phone fpr flashing.
@Fretchen
That might be because you are on lollipop bootloader & you are trying to flash kitkat bootloader?But I may be wrong. Previously you told that you tried restoring to kitkat & that boot.img is kitkat bootloader. Try with this lollipop firmware.

I now did exactly what legolas06 wrote, using "MoeMoe_BRASIL_XT1032_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28_cid12_CFC.xml"
There were "hab check fails" for recovery and boot but at least the device did not reboot upon flashing the boot.img.
I rebooted it and it is going further than ever before, all the Motorola animations were played but in the end the phone got stuck at the circular blue pool (water) with the bit Motorola 'M' plus the concentric water ripple effect.
I switched it off and on again and then it played through the animations, then updated the apps (total number: 9) and then started the system. Apparently it is working.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate your support.
Allow me thse final questions:
Can I from now on just apply OTA updates?
If not, what can I change to make this possible?
Is it advisable to install a EU Rom soon for whatever reason?

You flashed the stock firmware so everything should work again. OTA updates if available would work.

I don't know if you can apply OTA updates. Before the OTA update will work, you may need to update all Motorol apps via Play store.
You could wait until a fulkl stock lollipop pop is released for your phone and flash it using fastboot.
You can try different ROMs but stick to the ROMs made for your model. I have an xt1032 and I have installed US Retail, stock Telus, and GPE.
worked for me too, thank you soo much. give this solution a try

Hey guys,
since there isn't a standalone tutorial on how to flash Android 6.0 either on the Moto X Style XT1572, I will provide one.
WARNING! I am not responsible for any harm on your phone. When you're not sure if you can do it, leave it! Use the Brazilian version ONLY on phones which use US-modems! If there is anything wrong or not working, contact me!
Prerequesites:
Make sure you have backuped your internal storage and your apps, because they will delete during the fastboot flash process
Decide which version you need: Indian or Brazilian? You only should download and use the stock rom of one of them!
Install ADB and Fastboot on your PC using Minimal ADB or Android SDK
Install all ADB and Fastboot drivers, for example with Universal ADB driver
Download the files provided in the link section
Steps:
At first, extract the ADB and Fastboot files in a new folder of your choice. After that, extract the 5.1.1 stock rom and copy the boot_root.img and the TWRP image in the same directory and make sure, that there are NO subfolders
Open a command line in the new directory
Now reboot your phone into Bootloader Mode. You can do that by typing "adb reboot bootloader" in an adb command line or by turning it of and then holding the Volume down + power button
Now the funny part begins. Open a command window in the directory where you extracted ADB/Fastboot and the 5.1.1 stock rom to. Now use this commands in this order:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.10
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
Setup your device. After that make sure you can open the internal storage on your PC. Copy the Marshmallow patch and the SuperSU file on the internal storage of your Moto
Boot into recovery by rebooting into bootloader mode and then selecting the "Restart Recovery" option with the volume rockers followed by pressing the powerbutton
When the text "No command" is shown, press at first the power button and then volume up. Now apply the patch by selecting it after ticking the option "Install update from SDCard" in the recovery and wait till it finished. Reboot your device afterwards
Reboot again into bootloader mode. Now install the bootloader from 5.1.1 by typing "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img". We need this to make TWRP work again.
Type "fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_TWRP_image.img" to flash TWRP
Still in the bootloader mode, type "fastboot flash boot boot_root.img", in order to get root working
Boot into recovery mode and flash the SuperSU file. Afterwards reboot into system
That's it! You now have MM on your Style.
Thanks to:
patt2k for the mirrors for the Indian stock rom
gmillz for having the idea with stock 5.1.1
sathishtony for the fastboots commands to flash the stock rom
freakzapster for the MM patch
Sabissimo for root

Followed all steps till now, works fine, i am on indian 5.1.1 now- BUT i can't get to recovery *-*
When i choose to get to the recovery I only get the green Android-mascot and "No command."
What now?
Thanks!
/okay, embarassing. You could add that to your how-to for idiots like me.
When seeing "no command" hold down the power button and press volume up once --> Voila, the recovery options show up.

No need to thank the people in the original thread who figured it all out, eh? No problem putting a donate mention in though.

Normally I should only thank gmillz because after he said he flashed 5.1.1 stock Rom I was the first one who tried it and got it working. Am I right?

I was unaware you had done anything to be honest I just hit the Indian firmware and flashed the OTA as soon as I got in from work My point was there are several people responsible for this success and you only named a few

Yeah I know what you mean, but the other members contributed to make it working on the XT1575 Pure Edition, so it was unnecessary for my tutorial.
@alex1301 Could you do the same for Brazilian Moto X Style (XT1572 dual sim)? I got my OTA file here: https://mega.nz/#F!rElFjZqJ!Vcx1gA-48Pqx0EMOwZ6A1Q
If you need, I also have the stock firmware.

Yeah send me also the link for the stock firmware and I will modify the thread. Normally, you have to do the same steps for the Brazilian version like for the European one.

Great! Just give me some time (about 50 minutes) I'm uploading the firmware to Mega.
---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------
A question, can I use my stock 5.1.1 instead the Indian version? Because the Indian modems do not work here in Brazil, only the US modems do.

You need the indian one but you must also install Indian 5.1.1 stock rom
I'm getting this when I try to flash MM OTA:
"/modem/image/adsp.b01" has unexpected contents.
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)"
Any clues?
