[Q] Help! fastboot flash appears to do nothing! - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have somehow totally trashed my Android install. I have a UK retail Moto G XT1032.
While downloading the OTA lollipop update, the download appeared to stall. I decided to give up on the update, so I switched the phone off. When I turned it back on again, every single process crashed. "Unfortunately dialler/android.process.acore/Calendar/android.process.media/etc has stopped". I can keep tapping "OK" for ever to clear these notifications, but can't actually use the phone for anything at all.
So I decided to do a factory reset from fastboot. It made no difference.
I tried a factory reset from recovery. It made no difference.
Using fastboot, I attempted to install the stock ROM according to the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219. Everything seemed to flash OK - I got OKAY on the PC and the commands appeared to be running on the phone OK, but when it restarted, the phone was exactly the same - my wallpaper photo was still there, and the app icons that I could glimpse behind the endless notifications were my apps.
I tried several more times, this time flashing the 4.4.4 ROM (RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF). Exactly the same results - nothing changes when I restart.
It's as if the mfastboot flash commands do nothing at all! I have run all the mfastboot commands described by the guide in the order given.
I've also tried booting to recovery and connecting to ADB, but the PC cannot see the device.
I've tried replacing the recovery with CWM and TWRP .img files, but the flash command, while seeming to work, doesn't change anything at all! The recovery that I have installed is the standard KXB21.14-L1.40.
I have tried "mfastboot.exe erase recovery", before attempting to update the recovery, but it makes no difference.
Does anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong? It seems that no "mfastboot flash xxx yyy" command works at all on my phone.

Did you installfastboot or mfastboot? ADB commands only work if the is booted and USB debugging is on.

Got the same problem. I've already posted this in a few threads and didn't get any answer, though

Sounds crazy but, when you type fastboot devices with your phone connected in fastboot mode, does the command return your phone's serial #?

Yes, everything via fastboot works (says complete, done etc.) except it doesn't affect the real system. If you sideload ADB you will see that the system, data and cache partition become read-only. I've managed to remount only data partition with write privileges, but that doesn't help.

Are you flashing each partition manually? You can see your device's serial # in fastboot?

Originally, I used the version of fastboot that came with the first stock ROM I tried (falcon_retgb_user_4.3_14.10.0Q3.X-76-LGG-8_54_release-keys-cid7-Retail_GB).
Later on, I installed mfastboot and used that instead. The results were the same. Nothing seems to actually be flashed, but there are no errors on either the PC or the phone.
ADB does not work in fastboot (I don't believe it's supposed to!), but it also will not work with the version of recovery that I have, which is why I was attempting to install CWM and TWRP in its place.

Yes. I'm currently trying the following sequence with the XT1032_RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml ROM...
Code:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
The mfastboot command returns OKAY for each of these, and a couple of yellow lines appear on the phone for each command, indicating that the right command is running, with no error messages.

I have never used mfastboot. Maybe try using fastboot to flash? I have used fastboot on my Moto G and Moto Atrix HD with great success.

Tried with fastboot, tried with mfastboot, got no errors but nothing changes. The real problem I suppose is corrupted partitions.

Have you tried the moto flash tool??

@IcyBee, I see you're flashing the GB retail. Is it possible to try a different ROM such as the GPE?

I've just given it a go.
When flashing the ROMs, it basically runs the same mfastboot commands that I was running before, so the result was exactly the same.
However, the ADB Driver install button was worth trying. The driver supplied has enabled my PC to communicate with the phone using ADB when in recovery mode!
Unfortunately, after selecting "apply update from ADB" on the phone, and running "adb sideload <ROM zip file>", it sends it to the phone (taking a couple of minutes), and the phone says "Verifying update package", followed by "Installation aborted".
When you sideload, do you need some sort of special format ROM file?

I was hoping to use the stock ROM, just to get the phone back to its original state.
If the mfastboot command does nothing, I doubt trying different ROMs will help. But I'll probably try it if I can't get anything else to work.

thanks a lot!

@IcyBee - I have seen this before. Try using fastboot on a Linux PC / Laptop. You can use a live cd to do this - no need to actually install Linux.
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot​

Thanks for the idea. I happen to have a laptop running the latest Lubuntu.
I installed fastboot as you directed and re-flashed everything. Exactly the same. The commands all say OKAY, the yellow text on the phone says it's running the commands, but when I reboot - everything is exactly as it was before - including my wallpaper photo and app icons. And every single process on the phone is crashing.
I do not believe fastboot is actually working on this phone. The only commands that seem to work are the ones to unlock the bootloader and the one to reboot the phone.

@IcyBee - does the fastboot commands for flashing the system.img files actually match the files in the firmware folder?
I.e first file is sparsechunk.0 not sparsechunk1
EDIT: Next I would try the only available XT1032 factory firmware image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58534609
It's retail Brazil, but will work anywhere in the world.
I suggest you skip flashing the bootloader - motoboot.img

Attached is a very blurry picture taken in poor light with my very old spare phone of the Moto G just before boot. All commands seemed OK, except for recovery.img and motoboot.img, which displayed "hab check error" in pink (not pictured).
Thanks again to all of you for your assistance in this matter.

Recovery mode ADB will work in Linux. You could try side-loading the 5.0.2 OTA Update.

[Q] Which Moto G stock firmware to use?

I'm looking to restore my Moto G to stock, but I don't know which version to choose.
Can anyone help me for which one I need because the one that I did flash, is the last one you see in the picture, and now my network (T-Mobile) isn't working anymore.
Also what is the difference between the AWSRetail.en.US and the Retail.en.US?
Model no. XT1032 is non-AWS. XT1034 is AWS. Only the later is compatible with T-Mobile’s 1700 (AWS) bands.

Okay I really appreciate that info. Do you think you could by any chance help me fix the problem with my phone? It cant seem to connect to my carrier and the radio and gps is off. I really don't know how to fix this.. please help
And when I go into Settings>More...>Mobile Networks>Network Operators it tell says, "Error while searching for networks." And then when I try to press Choose Automatically, I get a message saying, " Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network".
But that's not true because it has been working all this time.
Flash the AWSRetail.en.US stock firmware and everything should be fine again.

How do you know this? All models state '1032' under About phone > Baseband version.
You have flashed the the retail XT1032 US stock firmware and radio is not working. That suggests a) have an XT1034 or b) you didn't flash correctly.

Yes I checked the Baseband version and it does say 1032. You might be right that it was flashed wrong, but Iv'e tried it about 3 times now it still isn't working.
Could you show me how to correctly flash it on a Mac? The guide I followed was the one here on xda-developers for the Moto G and I'm not sure what I could have done wrong, I really just need my network to work again.

As I said, Baseband version is not an indicator of which model you have.

Oh okay I understand. Well the way I know that it is XT1032 is because that is what it shows registered on my Google account. (check attached screenshot)
The answer is simple. Follow the guide, flash XT1032 firmware. If that doesn't work, flash XT1034 firmware.

Okay so I flashed it, but the phone will not boot. It just stays stuck on the warning screen that tells you your bootloader is unlocked. And I was positive that I did flash it correctly because in the guide, it says that each command I enter in terminal should return with "OKAY" and they all did.
Here is my log in terminal with the commands I entered to flash the ROM (I bolded the commands and the OKAY'S) :

I am trying to see if theres is some hope on restoring this phone through Fastboot..
The Pc recognizes the device as Fastboot falcon S but can't enter it at all ...
I am looking for a more detailed step by step on how, if possible to restore this device ..
I have attempted many tutorials all leaving me bewildered and confused ..
I have on my PC 2 roms I think thats what they are ...

and bring hope that this phone can be restored to working order ..
Note: not sure if this could help it states the device is locked, Status code 0

If you have access to fastboot, it is entirely possible that you can manually restore the stock 4.4.4 ROM and recovery that way. I'll have some time in the morning where I can walk you through some steps in detail if you still need it.

Alright, let's see what we can do for you! First things first, download the XT1028 4.4.4 stock ROM from here:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/5cg..._4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.41_42_release-keys.xml.zip
It's big, filefactory is slow, and that's going to take a while, so you can sit back and get up to speed on the rest of things while that is in progress. The next thing you need to do is head over to the following thread and read through the first post. You will be following the process for firmware downloaded in xml.zip format: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
It sounds to me like you have done at least a solid portion of the prerequisites for this, but you can run through the list to make sure. You might want to download and install the Motorola drivers (Prerequisite 'a') if you haven't already, and you'll want to get the mfastboot-v2.zip package (Prerequisite 'c'). Once you have everything downloaded and the drivers/adb/fastboot stuff installed, the basic idea here is that we are going to take the original stock firmware piece by piece and manually install it using the phone's fastboot mode. If it works correctly, it will completely replace whatever corrupted ROM and recovery files are on your device presently and may allow you to actually boot up the phone into Android 4.4.4 KitKat at a factory default condition.
Find and locate the place where you installed adb and fastboot. On my own system, I just installed it to "C:\adb" for simplicity. In the folder, you'll see adb.exe, fastboot.exe, etc. Take the mfastboot-v2.zip you downloaded above and extract the contents into the same folder -- you should now also have a "mfastboot.exe" file there, as well. Finally, take the stock firmware zip file you downloaded from the above link and extract this into the same folder (make sure all these files are actually in the same folder as the .exe's, not in some subfolder); it contains a good dozen or so files that we are going to flash onto your phone.
In Windows, if you're in the folder with the above files and you hold down the Shift key and right click somewhere in the folder, you'll have an option from the drop down menu to "Open command window here" which should get you a nice command prompt right where you need to be. Get your phone rebooted into fastboot mode, connect it to your PC, and then we can start running through the commands if everything is working correctly.
On the post I linked above, there is a series of mfastboot commands you will have to enter one by one and confirm that it returns an [OKAY] message afterward. The only variation you should have from the original post is that you need to enter an additional command for sparsechunk4 (make sure you scroll this whole list):
Code:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk4
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
If everything went well, you should be rebooted into a stock Verizon 4.4.4 ROM. Take your time, let me know if you have any additional questions about the steps or you get stuck, and good luck!

Any idea as to the status of the phone before you got it? The bootloader status of 0 means it is still locked and it appears from the versioning you listed that it was on 4.4.4 already, so I'm not sure why you'd be having signature verification issues reflashing 4.4.4. At this point, I am honestly just guessing, but perhaps try reflashing the partition table again (the first command with gpt.bin), then reboot the phone back into fastboot mode and try to do the other commands on a second pass?

I was suggesting that after you do the mfastboot command to flash the gpt.bin file (which, from your log appeared to work corrrectly), you could then reboot the phone into fastboot mode (turn it off, turn it back on and get it back into fastboot mode) and then resume from step two. My only theory there was that it may need to actually reformat the partitions before you go back in and start flashing things and that might be why you have the error you do.
Question 30 at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537119 suggests that if you are failing to flash 4.4.4 at this point, you may be stuck, so I'm just trying to walk through the steps I would try myself in your scenario.

Trying to find the default that comes with this phone is not my line knowledge ....
looking on a wiki this is some things i found
its a CDMA Version XT1028 for Verizon
I have a feeling it may be this default that comes with it
Operating system Android Jelly Bean 4.3[6] (Upgradable to Android 5.0 Lollipop[7])
my friend never updates her phones .... I think its a 4.3 jellybean any way to check that theory and find a stock rom ?

The XT1028 originally shipped with 4.3 Jelly Bean, but it is no longer the stock ROM for this device. The part where you say it was recognized as "210.12.41.falcon_cdma.verizon.en.us" means that the device and bootloader have been updated to 4.4.4 KitKat, as that string would have been different were it still on 4.3 or 4.4.2.

Considering the phone in your hand is a Verizon model and the bootloader is locked, Best Buy has this model in stock for $30, just in case it comes to replacing it outright: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/verizon...lack/3041063.p?id=1219086346405&skuId=3041063

You were doing this when you followed the first mfastboot command that flashed the gpt.bin. Do that again, reboot the phone and go back into fastboot mode, and then resume from the second command on the list. This may or may not work, but it's all I can think to suggest.

Whenever something indicates FAILED, you really don't need to keep on with the following steps. What I find odd is that you are succeeding with a couple and then the remaining ones are failing. You can try to reboot after each step that succeeds, perhaps, if that helps.

MOTO G XT1032 black screen

I have a Moto G (XT1032) running Android 5.0.2 that went out of charge one day. It then decided to boot into a black screen - i.e. I can see the Motorola splash screen (animation) but all I get after that is a black (grey) screen, not responsive to touch.
I tried a few things and they didn't work -
Fastbooted and selected 'Recovery' option - The Motorola logo (first screen of startup splash screen) appears briefly. Then the device returns to fastboot menu saying 'Boot Up failed'
Fastbooted and selected 'Factory' - The Motorola splash screen appears, boots into same black (grey) screen again.
The fastboot menu says "Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0". I did not enable USB debugging before my phone stopped working.
How do I get my phone working again?
You do not need an unlocked Bootloader to flash one of the factory firmware images: (I suggest using only one of the 5.0.2 images)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/index-moto-g-falcon-factory-firmware-t3110795​
Is there important data on the phone? Then do not use the command: mfastboot erase userdata

At this stage you should press power button for few seconds and tap vol +, it is the way to enter recovery in lollippp, correct me if I am wrong.

I see something wierd now, looks like the memory of the phone dosent save anything... sometimes, when the boot animation stops, i see the message of "1 of 1 Updates, android its updating" and then go to the black screen again... but, if i flash the phone, i shouldn't see that message, rigth? so, why i can still see it? how can i erase all the memory for sure???
Try flashing TWRP: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347764184
Command: mfastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0.-falcon_STOCK.img - enter recovery afterwards.
If that fails to flash, try: mfastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0.-falcon_STOCK.img

@Joncillo - See the last post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/moto-g-bootup-problem-recovery-mode-t3122492 - you are both in the same situation I believe.
It's a known issue; where battery is allowed to die and has resulted in Bootloader / Partition corruption.
Try what I have suggested there - if that does not solve it, you may have to wait for a working Lollipop hardbrick solution, which would allow you to repair the Bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-revive-hard-bricked-moto-g-t2833798

Allow OEM Unlock Bootloader

Hello! My phone's stuck in a bootloop and flashing Stock ROM doesn't help, so I was thinking of rooting the phone. Problem is I don't have Allow OEM Unlock ticked and I can't get onto the phone to do it. Is there any way to Allow OEM Unlock from bootloader? Or any other solution that might fix the problem?
Thank you!

The phone MUST be bootable to enable OEM Unlocking, if you can't get it to boot to turn it on, there is no way to unlock the bootloader, thus no way to root.
It might be useful if you gave us some more details about how you got into this state... what you did or what happened, specific variant, etc.

Oh okay. I've got a Motorola G3, XT1541. I tried updating it to Marshmallow which resulted in the phone bootlooping so I tried following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750 to fix it. Everything works fine when following the guide, I get [OKAY] on all steps in fastboot but it still doesn't work. I actually did miss the last sparsechunk file the first time I did it, so I ran it again. I can still get to the bootloader, but when trying to reach the recovery menu from there it just goes into bootloop again.
Thank you very much for helping out!

And you are positive it is the correct image for your device? If you got a success message for each piece and it still won't boot, I'm not sure what to say. Can you post a log or screenshot of the process?

Actually, that looks perfect... And it just bootloops afterwards, meaning it actually does a reboot and NOT just getting "stuck"?
I do not have a copy of this firmware image, it has exactly 7 sparcechunk pieces (0-6)?
One more thing... before you issue the fb_mode_set command, did you do a 'fastboot format cache' and 'fastboot format userdata' or do a factory reset from recovery?

After issuing the reboot command at the end it goes to the white screen with the motorola logo, then the screen goes black, and then back to the motorola logo, and keep on going like that.
Yeah that's correct, 0-6 sparsechunk files. I did fastboot ERASE cache and ERASE userdata, since I can't get into the recovery menu (goes into bootloop if I try). When I try any of those commands it says Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'.
im having the exact same problem, used the same software and carried out the same steps as you with no luck either.
from what ive read its because you need to wipe all the data first but because we get the, cant its RAW message, it wont download the firmware onto the phone even though it says it went ok. at the minute i havnt found anyone whos successfully been able to repair this fault.
mine was working perfectly untill the ota update
There is no fix for that, use your warranty if you have so
Hi,
I have the same problem, I've made the same steps after faulty OTA update. And the Motorola warranty shop has told me that the warranty is void because of interference in the software. I have to add that in the fastboot after "getvar all" command there's a line "iswarrantyvoid = no", so as I understand the warranty should be still valid.
Regards.

Using AEX's AOSP 7.1 rom(Indian quark) from few days. Facing many issues like app crashes and no LTE mostly. Today i wanted to call someone and clicked on phone app on home screen. Suddenly a message popped up saying phone has stopped. It showed whenever i clicked on phone app. I restarted the phone. Thatsit. Its only booting into fastboot mode. Whenever i chose to select recovery mode it only boots into fastboot. checked the bootloaderlogs and found "failed to validate boot image ret=-1 bootup failed" this message.Please, I need a serious help.

It's booting to the bootloader screen? You should be able to arrow up from there using the volume keys to the "recovery" option and boot to TWRP.
Once in TWRP, restore the backup you made. You did make a recent backup in TWRP, right?
OR in TWRP, do a factory reset and install a ROM. In TWRP, you can drag over whatever you want if you are connected to a PC. Works just like a flash drive. Drag over a ROM, GAPPs, etc if you don't want to install AEX's AOSP 7.1 again.

But you can go to recovery mode. If it's booting to the bootloader, you can arrow up to recovery and choose that.
Oh no, you flashed original 6.0 and 5.0 firmware? OK, now you have not only wiped out your custom TWRP recovery you have have flashed older bootloader over newer bootloader which BRICKS the phone. You never, never, never flash older firmware over newer firmware unless you omit gpt.bin in the flash commands.
Even then you should also omit recovery.img in the flash commands to keep custom recovery.
Your bootloader is unlocked, right? If so, there is still hope. Hold on.

Yes. Still my device is unlocked. In fastboot mode, the text showing in yello color saying, Device is UNLOCKED. Status code :3.
Please help me.. Is it possible through teamviewer?? please please help me..

Yes, it's for Brazil XT1225 but your bootloader is unlocked and there's no India equivalent posted online. You need the very latest Marshmallow stock (with latest bootloader) from Motorola and that's it. For stock you can only flash the same version bootloader you have or newer.
You will NOT be using RSDLite. You will have to use ADB fastboot. Read this post for instructions.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/dr...force-how-to-manually-flash-official-t3282077
Yes, it's for the Moto X Force, but the steps are still the same for any bootloader unlocked Motorola device. You are flashing cross-region firmware on your India XT1225 to get it back working again.
You will need to omit gpt.bin when flashing the commands.
Once your phone is working again, you will need to re-flash TWRP and root with that older SuperSu version or whatever you did the first time.
After that you can reinstall a custom ROM if you wish.

One thing...
On that Brazil firmware link I only see 10 sparse chunks, numbered 0-9, Yet, in your post above you have 12 listed. how are you flashing 12? (0-11) You can only flash as many sparse chunks as there are, that example from the Moto X Force thread is just an example. You have to flash the exact number.
I see you did NOT flash gpt.bin, which is good.
If your bootloader is still unlocked, this should work.
The only thing else I can suggest is this powerful temp root command first, before flashing the Brazil image. But you then have to flash an "end"/"finish" command or the next time you reboot, that itself will cause a bootloop. Over in the Droid Turbo forum, they use that temp root command to flash Sunshine, so Sunshine can then unlock the bootloader. You don't need Sunshine, I am only pointing you to the temp root file, which may help you flash this Brazil Marshmallow image.
There was another thread I can't find right now, from a person in very similar circumstances to you. His bootloader was even locked -- which was worse than you. But using that temp command, he was able to revive his phone using ADB fastboot flashing. His only problem then was not ending the temp root, and now I've lost the thread.
So, try this. Flash the temp root, followed by all the ADB fastboot commands to flash that image, followed by the command to end the temp root (it's double quotation marks with a space before them).

Yes. My bad. i had just copied commands to show u that i followed them. But in real, i had only flashed 9 of them.
and coming to your post, so should I need to download the initroot from "got the initroot working with internet for Droid Turbo - https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4-...ader-t3639316/" and install in my system and run the .bat file? would it work for my xt1225? there mentioned other than xt1225. after flashing all the 9 system sparse chunks from brazil firmware, is this the command to end the temp root?? fastboot oem config fsg-id " "
I am confused

Yes, but to end the temp root -- it's hard to tell due to XDA formatting --but It's fastboot oem config fsg-id "", with a space between the fsg-id part and the double quotation marks. There's NO space IN the quotation marks, just a space before it.

i have downloaded auto-intiroot-xt1254_quark.so shall i simply install it in my system and run the bat file? so no problem for my phone? to end that, simply ill follow the command without spaces.
first ill install bat file,then flash all the fastboot commands of firmware,and before fastboot reboot, ill end the temp flash and reboot my device.is this the procedure???

Yes, you downloaded the right version. It's this one, even though you have an XT1225:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/Motorola/autoinitroot/XT1254
Yes, install the bat file via fastboot, then run the fastboot commands for firmware, then end the temp flash and try to reboot.
IF this doesn't work, I have no other ideas really. Just variations of making sure you are flashing the firmware correctly, which you seem to be doing.

Thank you! Thought I was going crazy. I KNEW I had discussed this just recently and the person used temp root and got the phone working again. Then I couldn't find the posts. But it was you who suggested the temp root tool and it worked.
Yeah, start on this page, with post 475:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...tock-firmware-moto-maxx-droid-t3063470/page48
There was no final resolution to that person's problem but he was able to reboot the phone and it was working again, thanks to the temp root.

I had run auto-init.bat which booted my phone in fastboot mode asusual.then i followed the same steps by ending the temp root like mentioned.But same happened. in bootloader logs the same ret=-1 and also Fastboot reason : Reboot mode set to fastboot.This was all i followed.

These three errors you got which I'm pasting below are normal:
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found

But other than that, everything shows it's flashing OK? Yet it still won't boot...
Searching the internet for that " ret=-1" error message, came across this:

Both were told they probably had hardware failure, most like flash memory.
I'm almost out of ideas. Since all your flashing did seem to go OK, how about now trying to flash TWRP again? You would be replacing stock recovery with a TWRP image. Then with phone off try using the volume + power button to boot to bootloader screen, if it will let you. Then from there you can choose TWRP. Once in TWRP (if you get that far) you can try dragging over a ROM to flash.
But if you are experiencing a hardware failure you probably won't be able to get that far.
I'm generally not very good walking people through things, but here is something to try. It's almost exactly what you've done before, except you will use mfastboot erase for specific partitions before flashing. Do NOT erase the bootloader - it can brick the phone. You shouldn't need to temp root, since your bootloader is unlocked.
From a command prompt, in the directory/folder you have ADB/(m)fastboot:
reminder do NOT erase the bootloader:
Code:
mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
Code:
mfastboot erase boot
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot erase recovery
for stock recovery use:
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
for TWRP (download link) use:
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-mod_2-quark.img
Code:
mfastboot erase system
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
if you installed TWRP:
Code:
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
then start recovery to let it make the changes to keep it from being replaced, and then reboot
for stock recovery just reboot:
Code:
mfastboot reboot
If this doesn't work it's either failing hardware as ChazzMatt stated, or time to do things you shouldn't.

Nope.Bad news. Even this didnt work. All this happened because of AEX rom I suppose. Since I flashed that rom, most of the apps were force closing. I thought these bugs might be solved in future updates and continued using it. I shouldnt have flashed that rom. Should have continued RR rom. Huge terrible mistake of mine. I am not blaming the developer.Please dont take this as an offence.I know all this is our own risk and already mentioned at the beginning of the posts.Just Blaming myself...
Thanks for your and @ChazzMatt help anyways.thanku soo much..
RIP my Moto
Edit 1 : Bought new Samsung A9 pro which fulfills my needs with a good battery backup. Goodbye to my Moto Turbo.Also to this forum.
Once again My Heartful thanks to @ChazzMatt and @hitokage004
