Hey guys.
I just got an M8 and obviously had to root and rom it. I have my phone rooted and s-off. I am running 4.4.3. I have tried to flash CM 12, multiple nightlies, and also android revolution. No matter what I do, I get stuck in a boot loop. On CM it gets stuck at the android head bootloader, and with android revolution it gets stuck at the red verizon screen. Then the only way to fix it is to power the phone off, remove the sd card and sim card, since that's the only way it will let me boot into recovery, then flash my stock rom back on it. I'm not sure what I am missing here. I used Sunshine and paid the money and it gave me s-off but it didn't give me root. I used towelroot for the root access. Any advice?
I'd suggest ruu back to stock 4.4.4 or flash 4.4.4 firmware since your running old firmware.. Threads are in development section
Save the manuals!!!

Since my AT&T ICS 4.04(final update) Atrix 2 won't pass beyond the M logo (have been flashed like ten times), I need someones help.
I can't downgrade to GB because would brick the phone forever or upgrade to a newer version. Or flash a custom ROM because the phone is not rooted and doesn't have any custom recovery tool installed.
So, I was thinking, maybe if I could flash an already rooted system and a custom recovery using RSDLite, could boot into the custom recovery, install a custom ROM and see if I can fix my phone.
Or maybe flash(RSDLite) a backup(or only the files need for this purpose) made by any user of the forum.
Is that possible? Please help.

It would be better to ask all the questions in one thread itself, rather than making new ones each time for a newer question.
RSDLite can't flash files which aren't signed by Motorola, hence no pre-rooted or custom recovery installed ROM can be flashed this way, since they won't have Motorola signatures.
Ok, this is weird, a while ago i didnt had any problems installing any kind of custom rom, used CWM while wiping everything... eveything was OK, ROM worked OK, etc... But one time i installed a ROM (Slimkat) and i lost signal, tried to use my recovery of stock android but it didnt work, so i tried a lot of things untill i got bootlop without being able to install anything since some files were missing, bad luck
After that, i just reflash stock 4.3 and upgrade from there 4.4.2, everything fine again... except that i cant install any kind of ROM, every ROM says "installation succesful" but everyone is stuck into bootloop.
While i havent tried ALL ROMS i have tried the same ones i was using (Nexus G+, LiquidSmooth and CM11), so i guess this problem is coming from my device.
On a side note, i tried to factory reset, but no luck... it shows the Android working but it inmediately turns the screen off, and then it shows it again and then off again... in an infinite loop
Same problem!
Bump.
I just got my Moto G yesterday (European XT1032), updated to 4.4.2, unlocked bootloader, rooted with superboot and flashed Philz Touch CWM.
Seems I have done everything by the book, wipes included, but no luck. I tried Slimkat, Paranoid and Codename Lungo (latest builds as of 3/12).

Hmmm... Pay attention to which version of Bootloader you are using.
You might want to try both 4.3 and 4.4 to see which one would work.
Extract the motoboot.img from the stock .zip image for your phone, then flash with mflashboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
Good luck!

Thanks. I'll give that a try. Is there a way to check bootloader version on the phone? If that doesn't work out I'll start from scratch and report back in this thread..

Hmmm.. I see there is a version number on mine, 41.05 dated 2013-12-06, but I'm not sure if that's the version or not.
And yeah... if changing the bootloader doesn't help, you probably would have to restore from the stock image and start over..
Got root and custom roms working after I 1.) downgraded to 4.3 and 2.) flash TWRP (instead of CWM).
So I'm not sure what the problem was. Besides the two main rooting methods (superboot and custom recovery), there are some other methods described on the forum specifically for people who already did a international variant OTA to 4.4.2. and one that is absolete (here) but apparently works for some when the two main methods fail.
However I'm still not sure if this solved everything. I am not sure if I can flash Cyanogenmod (which is 4.4.2) over a 4.3 firmware. Maybe I need to manually flash a 4.4.2 radio or something... Gonna check that out next...
EDIT: No need to downgrade. Not sure how it works but two main root methods (superboot and custom recovery) didn't work for me. Somehow I got stuck in boot animation. Just installed TWRP instead of CWM after Kitkat firmware (EU Retail) and rooted (/installed Super Su) from there. Everything works fine now.
Howdy y'all. I bricked my old G2 D800, I don't want a repeat with the new one. I tried doing all the research I could. I have a new D800, 10d, 4.4.2. I want CM11, tried reading the threads on that and custom recovery. I just need a little help to make sure I have the order of operations down pat before I crash another. I've rooted and flashed ROMs before, but not with th locked boot loader and security AT&T has.
Please just correct me if I'm wrong. Through the threads I have read I believe this is what I am to do.
1.) Flash my 4.4.2 back to 4.2.2 using LG FT
2.) Root using IO23
3.) Download Flashify & install TWRP 2.7.7 with Loki
4.) Follow steps to install CM 10.2
5.) Follow steps to install CM 11
Of course make backup once 4.2.2 plus root and TWRP is achieved before trying CM. I just want CM like I've had on previous phones. Thanks in advance.
All is good back to being ROM junkie. Anyone who does read and wishes to flash custom roms and get custom recovery on KK. Obtain root via IOroot25, then use AutoRec Recovery Installer for TWRP recovery.
Hi all as title states my moto g is downloading the new 5.0 update but during install it says error and switches phone back on with no changes made. It was rooted and custom firmware was installed. Since then uts back to fully unrooted, stock recovery is reinstalled and bootloader is still unlocked. However still it errors a quarter into installing.
So i have come to the assumption that it is best for me to revert/ reinstall the stock 4.4.4 rom back on and try updating after that. However seen loads of complicated methods on how to reinstall the stock firmware onto my phone so want the easiest way if possible.
In attatchments is the info from the current stock rom that is on the phone (will state a custom rom has never been installed to the phone always been stock) and i have downloaded the following to put onto it:
XT1032_RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
Ive tried using the mototools v3.1 and does abserlitly nothing non of the commants work or do anything with my phone.
So which is the easiest method?
Many Thanks
major problems!!!!!
Stock recovery installed to phone. Started update it was installing and got to 3/4 of the way through, errored, restarted and not goes in a loop saying no command!
Phone will not switch on!!!
Why has this happened?
If fastboot is too convoluted - using a custom recovery, flash one of these zips:

What update were you installing when it errored?
Hello
I got my moto g for over 1 year, i bought it in UK. I use custom rom's for 6 months.
My phone start work slow so i decided to wipe all and reinstall rom. By mistake i wipe internal storage too, so i try to put rom in storage, but my computer dont see my device. I fix it by reinstall motorola drivers and update TWRP. Then I put BlissPop Rom+GApps(which work earlier), and i flash it. There i have new problem because blisspop run and stuck on booting OS(i waited over 1 hour). I thought the rom was bad so i download the lastest BlissPop Rom. It going the same way. Then I decided to return to stock rom(I did not do this ever). I download "AIO_XT1032_4.4.2-KXB20.9-1.10-1.9_CFC_1FF.xml" and try to flash it by using fastboot not mfastboot. Then it stuck on bootloader warning. So i wipe all and try to install Marshmallow rom+kernel+miniGApps. It stuck on bootloader warning too. Then i wipe all and try to instal ressurection remix Rom+GApps. This like BlissPop stuck on loadning OS. Then i change recovery to CM recovery and i try flash cm13, after wiping everything, this rom stuck on bootloader warning. What i have to do ? @edit when i say stuck on bootloader warning i mean it bootloop on this
Try install retail Lollipop with mflashboot. Should get phone to Stock condition.
ok i got retail system but there is another problem, my wifi and phone doesnt find sim card
So you managed to install stock rom? Are you sure it was for your exact phone model? And you mean your phone don't recognise your sim-card at all (doesn't ask for pin code) or it just doesn't get signal?
yeah i install stock rom for xt1032 by philztouch. Phone dont even ask for pin and i can't turn on the wifi that like it was blocked
I do it. i install 5.0.1 retail downgrade it to 4.4.4 then wifi and sim start working then i flash stock 4.4.4 and uprage it by motorola update service to 5.1, then i install custom rom and everthing work good
Glad you got it to work!
