[Q] I bricked my moto g xt1033 please help!

Hello,
I have bricked my Moto G XT1033 after i wiped out all data and system files.
I had saved a recovery image and after wiping out i can't see it anymore.
since i'm a noob in this can someone help me out ?
Thanks

If you wiped system, you have no OS, so your phone can't boot up.
Since Moto G has no external memory and you wiped data, all of your stuff including your backup was gone.
You need to reflash firmware.
Take a look in Original Development threads.

[Q] I need help with an OTA update on my rooted Moto G?

Okay so basically, today I got the request of installing the Android 4.4.4 kitkat update on my rooted moto g. I press yes and that my phone shut off as it's meant to be. Then this is when the problem occurs; when it turns back on it goes to TWRP and it goes the the normal page of TWRP. I reboot my phone to try again and the same thing happens. Can someone help me to get rid of this problem and to install the Android 4.4.4 kitkat update on my rooted moto g? Will be much appreciated :good:
P.S: The Android update was from Google.

Installing an OTA on a Rooted Phone with Custom Recovery is not advisable!
Sent from my XT1052 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I tried too and the installation stops and comes out an error with /system/framework/core.odex.
I tried to flash again stock recovery but it persists..

Same here. Had to flash stock recovery from bootloader (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) and then reboot, and let the phone reboot and apply the system update.
All is good, and it kept root... No need to have the system breaking TWRP on there.

I get an error while updating, it just says ''error''. I have stock kernel, stock recovery, unrooted... Nothing seems to work, but I think the problem might be that I have a custom boot animation. Is there any way to flash the 4.4.2 stock UK rom?

Do you have a moto g ? I did a factory reset which meant that the update wouldn''t keep shutting down my phone and then it would go to TWRP. So how do I install the 4.4.4 update?

[Q] Need info about moving through firmwares

This is what i did so far: (xt1032)
1 Converted STOCK KK 4.4.4 RETAILARGENTINA to GPE Lollipop 5.0.1 following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/guide-convert-brazilian-firmware-gpe-5-t2969472. Also the bat named "BRAZILIAN 5 TO 4.4.4 GPE.BAT" Flashes the KK GPE firmware without moto boot and partition gpt and "ANY FIRMWARE TO 4.4.4 GPE.BAT"flashes the KK GPE with those files.
2 Encrypted device.
3 Somehow i ended up deleting stock keyboard, replaced by playstore one, but i could not put the unlock password for encryption when booting.
4 So i adb pushed a custom recovery and a rom.
4 When trying to flash the lastest CM12 Nightly using this TWRP recovery version: "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-xt1032_GPE.img is for GPE ONLY (ext4 userdata)" it failed to do a factory reset. Then i formatted data and factory reset was successful. After that i noticed that the screen was flickering (like a wave coming down from the top). After that i tried to install the zip but it failed to do it.
5 So i followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/how-to-revert-5-0-1-gpe-to-4-4-4-5-0-5-t2988565 I ONLY FOLLOWED THE FIRST PARTY STEPS. (i dont know why it rruns the second bat as with the first one you already made the downrgade to KKGPE) (Also uses same bat files from 1)
If someone could provide some information about the bootloader changes in my device and the precautions, restrictions that i need to consider from where i am now, and some explanations for the problems below i would be gratefull. Thanks in advance.

Ok, i'm not sure i understood everything correctly,
you have a XT1032 with the 4.4.4 GPE related bootloader, is that right?
then you shouldn't have issues to install CM12,
you should flash a compatible recovery (i like CWM-based recovery v6.0.5.1, you can try both the GPE and the "stock" dedicated TWRP if one doesn't work then try the other one, since we don't exactly know how is your device at that point)
and then try the following :
boot to recovery (using power+vol_down method)
format /system, /data, "/data and /data/media", /cache (that's how it is called by CWM-based, no idea for TWRP)
prepare your ROM+gapps (try CM12 ) on your computer
choose install zip > install from sideload and sideload from computer
wait for files to be copied and flashed (and repeat for gapps)
reboot
wait
Hope it helps

You have to be complete stock, no root, stock recovery and kernel.
Unrooting and flashing the stock recovery and kernel will NOT work,
you will need to flash the 4.4.4 firmware first.

I did flash it to stock ROM but still it showed signature verification failed and some root error. BTW I still have cwm not the original recovery !!

well apparently you dont clearly read the guides,you cant install official updates with custom recovery, you need everything original stock and no root. read the guides first before posting

Get the recovery.img and run "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" from bootloader mode.
Do it at your own risk^^^

everything worked perfectly
I flashed recovery as u advised me then did everything which was suggested in the original thread the only problem was recovery stock recovery is pretty tricky thing to open I had to press volume up for 9 sec for 10th sec the power button at the same time and it worked
Thnx everyone I really appreciate it

Moto G XT1034 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 update problem
I received Lollipop OTA notification for my XT1034 today (Retail Canada) and I downloaded and installed it but the phone got stuck at Motorola logo. I waited for about 45 mins on this screen but got desperate and turned it off (hard reset)
Tried to enter recovery and still it says Bootloader 41.13, tried to wipe cache partition and completed the process but after reboot it gets stuck at logo again, please help!

Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist Please Standby when we move your post here Moto G Help and Troubleshooting
Good Luck!

Did you try manually flashing each partition using fastboot commands?

go on youtube type in how to adb sideload a rom on moto g that video will fix your problem well it did for me GoodLuck

Is recovery installed? Are the Moto drivers installed on your pc?
I've been through something similar before and whenever I accidentally wipe the OS, I just connect then flash another rom usually starting from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688 and it will pop up under "my computer" where you can copy and try to flash your rom again. I assume it's the same with 5.0+ (I'm still on 4.4)
Which method did you use to flash lollipop?
