Moto g
charliesutton said:
So I have a Moto G with an unlocked bootloader but no root. So I wanted to flash an android L cyanogen mod rom onto it and I first of all had to install custom recovery. I decided to use twrp. I downloaded all the latest drivers from motorola and the adb folders. I downloaded the recovery image and put it into the 'platform-tools' folder with 'fastboot.exe' in it as well (the boot image was specifically for the moto g btw) and flashed it onto the phone. It installed it but when I went on recovery the boot up image showed for about a quarter of a second but afterwards I was returned back to the moto g fastboot screen with some returned text on the bottom saying 'Boot up failed'. I had followed every step and I tried redoing the process but that didnt work. So I restored my device so I got the stock recovery and I tried cwm instead. This returned the same error message. Im not really sure where I went wrong in the process.
I also have some other questions as well though. I thought that maybe if I put the boot.img boot image from the cyanogen mod folder into the platform tools folder I could open cmd and type 'fastboot boot boot.img' and maybe it would flash it straight on however I dont want 'Boot up failed' from both 'Recovery' and 'Normal Powerup' in the fastboot menu. I was also wondering if I could convert the zip file for the custom rom to .tar.md5 and maybe flash it from odin? However whenever i watch odin tutorials they always use a samsung device and it also says that its for samsung. Or preferably just some help to get past the 'Boot up failed' error would be appreciated. Thanks

Odin is a Samsung factory restore tool. Rsd lite is for motorola. I just got got this phone today so I'm not familiar with it yet to know anther way, sounds like you may just need to download your stock firmware and rsd. that should get ya back to stock at least
Hello gang.
I appears this dyslexic numpty has creamed his phone somehow - It's in Soft Brick mode and isn't playing with me any more.
It's a 1st Gen Tesco 8GB, I updated it to GPE and lollipop. But I couldn't get a new sim card working so I flashed Cygo CustomRom with it and now I'm stuck in a bootloop.
I honestly don't know where to start or where to begin, i've followed some tutorials to no avail and I'm wondering if someone would be so kind as to help a fool out. I've tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 - But I get errors.
Any help would be appreciated.
What errors do you get ? Try relfash the GPe firmware to your device. If you flash the Moto firmware your phone will be bricked from what I know if you have the GPe firmware.

Keep on getting Mismatched Partition Size.
Then when I finish and reboot it just stays on the bootloader unlocked screen.
Try this:
http://android.clients.google.com/p...incremental-KTU84P.M003_18-LRX21Z.M002_15.zip
Download it and then sideload it with ADB to recovery.
Make sure you have the fastboot drivers installed and adb installed and then write the folowing command
adb sideload
after "sideload" you type the location of the zip file and enter !
Hey,
I'm new to all of this so I really don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I got the normal Moto G running on 4.4.4, unlocked bootloader and rooted.
I've read that if no system files are changed I can just normally update the phone. So I flashed stock recovery (I had CWM before) using MotoTool AiO. But when I want to enter recovery it just gives me the "No Command." screen.
Only other thing I have different is, that I deleted some preinstalled Google and Motorola apps.
When I try to update the phone it just reboots after about 10 seconds telling me the update failed. (I always have to download the update again.)
I hope you guys can help me get to 5.0.2.
Thanks
You need certain Motorola Apps on your phone before the OTA update will work. Also, it's best to be unrooted.
Is there a way to restore the Motorola Apps? With the app i deleted them I can't, because I deleted them completely. (I didn't thought I would need them again.)
I'm not sure if you can find the proper APKs.
It may be easier to just flash back to stock and take the OTA update.
Okay, so I tried to get back a custom recovery so I can flash 4.4.4, but the problem is I still only get the no command screen when entering the recovery.
First I tried flashing CWM with the MotoTool AiO, but I still couldn't enter recovery, so I tried Philz Recovery, but I got the same problem there.
How the hell can I get a recovery, so I can flash 4.4.4?
You need to flash a completely stock ROM, including recovery.
You should download the stock 4.4.4 ROM for your phone and manually flash each partition using fastboot or mfasboot commands.
I tried it with help of this thread.
But it always says i can't find the command mfastboot and with the command fastboot it tells me it can't find the files and when I'm entering the folder it says it can't find the command. And even if I move the extracted files to the same folder (Where the fastboot.exe is) it tells me the files can't be found...
Like I said I'm new to all of this and little more detailed help would be appreciated
PS:
I still got the same .zip with the stock 4.4.4 I used to flash the first time (After that I deleted the system apps)
And in this .zip is an app folder with all the apks, so is there a fast way to just reinstall all of them?
Enable USB debugging and use the Moto AIO tool's Utilities tab to flash APKs to your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635706
In MotoTool when I'm in fastboot it tells me device not found (Minimal ADB and Fastboot can find my device, and yestery MotoTool could find it, too. USB-Debugging is active.) and when the phone is normally stared in the cmd window it tells me [failed] ... (Can't read the rest, because the window closes instantly), but MotoTool says the installation worked
You need to be booted into ROM in order to use the APK installer.
When installing an APK, you may be prompted on the phone screen to allow your computer to have access to the phone.
Okay I managed to flash 4.4.4 and then I could update to 5.0.2, thanks for the help.
That's great. Glad I could be of some help.
Hi i currently have Moto XT 1092 retail version and i had got an Android update 6.0 few weeks back. I also had downloaded es flie explorer and accidently i had pulled up a moto app and then i rebooted the system into bootloader. There i deleted the cache and did a factory reset. After the whole process my phone was stuck in the boot lap withe android robot erasing something. I struggled for 2 days to fix it but nothing worked. Here are the steps which helped me overcome this problem and can help others as well.
1. Pls unlock your bootloader if its locked else not flashing of stock will work and it will show pre validation failed, invalid system image or pib signature error.
2. Download stock firmware from filefactory for your device. Mine was 5.1 XT 1092 XML file.
3. Reboot the phone in bootloader and use the fastboot flash method to flash syatem image.
4. The sequence is faatboot OEM lock begin and then rest commands and then end command fastboot OEM lock.
5. Wait for phone to reboot.
6. Automatically after the restart once yu connected the phone will ask for a new system update which is 6.0.
7. The rest is smooth and you will be good to go.
Let me know if you face any problem.
Thx
Gautam
hello
i've bought used moto g 2015 from spain.
the problem is that the device is locked with status code 0.
i've been trying to unlock it, but with no luck.
everything gives the error failed(remote failure)
recently i've used windroid toolkit to unlock bootloader and install twrp like in some tutorials, the app says it's done, but after i enter a recovery the phone hangs and boots again to fastboot.
any help will be appreciated
EDIT:
invoking "mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin" command gives the error too so i am unable of installing stock firmware too
EDIT2:
i've successfully installed stock package but there is still a problem - boot loop.
you need to flash stock rom to remove boot loop.

I have already flashed the rom but now i think it could be a bad package. My phone is from spain and i installed before:
XT1541_OSPREY_ORAES_6.0_MPI24.65-33_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
now i'm downloading
XT1541_OSPREY_RETES_6.0_MPI24.65-33_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
is there any way to find out which package should i use for sure?
the last package i mentioned doesnt change anything. phone boots to bootloader not to system.
any news i have the same thing with my device everything was flashed but i get boot faillure ??
nothing... i'll get my money back i guess
