[q] moto g - soft-bricked!

I've been reading forums on here all day and nothing seems to match my problem down to the letter.
Here is my problem, I thought this morning it would be fun to upgrade my Moto G, was rooted on Kit Kat (perfectly fine -_-) to Lollipop. I followed a tutorial with great feedback and thought what could go wrong? Turns out everything could go wrong and after following every step perfect, my phone was bricked. It just displayed the Warning: Bootloader Unlocked screen and does nothing else.
I'm able to get in to recovery, have all the ADB tools installed, tried every tutorial, non-stop, the entire day and nothing is working.
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

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
When I type almost any of these commands I'm met with this: "error: cannot load 'gpt.bin': No error" not just for gpt.bin though, for anything? Althought these commands worked fine when bricking my phone
My phone is a single sim XT1032 Moto G. Can someone please help? I just want my phone fixed. I don't care if I never have to have Lollipop on it, it was fine the way it was and wish I'd just left it that way.

What lollipop ROM are you trying to flash? The gpe ROM uses a slightly different file format than a retail lollipop ROM.

Messed up my Moto G, really need some help please :(

Hey guys. I got a telus moto g xt1032. It was on official 5.0.2. I flashed TWPR 2.8.5.0, and encountered the bootloop bug. I proceeded to flash the only stock telus firmware i could find- 4.4.4. I followed the guide on XDA to the tee and resulted in my moto go being stuck at the "Warning, boot loader unlocked" screen. I have no idea what to do and would really appreciate some help, as I am new to this. Am even willing to donate if it results in me fixing my phone. Thank for taking the time to read

All the other commands are successful but the device remain stucked on the boot screen after the reboot :crying:

I have this problem too, trying to factory reset my phone but it's still stuck on the bootloader. CWM says can't mount sd card now aswell so any help would be appreciated

hey man, ok ill try that again. The only thing is, there is no boot.img in the telus file I downloaded. Its named "motoboot." Should i replace that with the boot img part? Also, i recently read somewhere trying to downgrde from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 will mess my phone up. Is that true?
EDIT- I do remember the first time i tried this after sparsechunk.1, is sad "image file is too large" but kept on goiing anyways

motoboot.img and boot.img are not the same thing. Be careful renaming these files, or else you will destroy your phone. If there is no boot.img included then that zip has been messed with by someone.
The 'image file is too large' message should not be ignored - it means the firmware has not flashed at all. Nothing has changed on your phone; flash has not been successful.

I used this one: XT1032_TELUS-CA_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.50_52_cid14_CFC_1FF.xml
Then I updated Motorola Apps via Play store, then get the OTA update to 5.02.

Soft bricked Moto G and random reboots

I know the title is a bit confusing, but I will try to explain the context of my situation so you can understand it better.
I have a x1032 since the end of 2013. When the first image of the Google Play Edition went "public", I converted my device to it, and it stayed that way, doing all the OTA updates, until the 5.1 GPE appear.
When I did the update to this version (5.1 GPE), my compass didn't work with some apps (for example, GPS tools and c:geo), and as it is a sensor that I use most of the time, I decided do revert my device from fastboot to the 4.4 “stock Motorola” (don’t remembre if it was 4.4.2 or 4.4.4) and then update it to the 5.0.2.
In the process, I think that I had a soft brick: when I turned on the device, he stayed in the “unlocked bootloader” image, and he didn’t move forward. But, after trying, I saw that I had access to the bootloader menu and to the recovery, without any problem. I tryed to install the images via fastboot, even the new 5.1 GPE and 5.02 Motorola ones, but none of them works.
I searched, and searched, and finally understand that in this cases, the problema is the /system, /data and /cache partitions that need to be formated, and then I can flash any zip rom via recovery.
And now, this is where I stay: Via fastboot I installed the 5.1 GPE rom. Then I installed philz touch recovery, formated all partitions in ext4, wipe them all (just to be sure ), and did an adb push to have the GPE 5.1 zip ROM from @lost101 in my sdcard, and installed it. AND IT WORKS!
Now, the actual problem: I’m having form time to time some random reboots. They always appear after I try to turn the screen on, and after 3 or 4 seconds, the phone reboot.
Can this be related to the softbrick? I tought it could be a rom problem, but no one else have the same complains and @lost101 says that maybe this is from my phone.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long text and my bad english.

I suggest you try flashing the GPE 5.1 Firmware Image available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/index-moto-g-falcon-factory-firmware-t3110795
Make sure you use only the following commands and use mfastboot available here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567719065
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

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​
You should not need to manually format partitions. The above commands will do everything for you. The reason for your sensor issues are that the fastboot flashing previous was not successful.
Please do the fastboot commands manually, one at a time, and log everything and post it here.

You are absolutely right: there were no errors (except the "normal" validation erros because it's a GPE image), and in the end, I didn't need to format the partitions manualy.
I think the problem was the fastboot (I was using the one from the sdk... my bad!).
Now I know that any problems don't come from the software side, because in that part, everthing is ok.
I will just ask you two more things:
- What custom recovery do you recomend?
- Your Low Memory Killer Tweak works without any problem in the 5.1 GPE installed via fastboot?
Thank you very much for your help. You really made my day.

Latest TWRP. Yes, the LMK Tweak will work in that case.

Unfortunately, random reboots are still present
I have installed 5.1 Google Play edition factory image, with the mfastboot you told me, but it still reboots randomly. Did the same with the 5.02 EU from Motorola, and it behaves the same way.
The random reboots happen more or less, one time a day, and it's when I try to turn the screen on, it doesen't respond, and after 3 or 4 seconds, the system reboots.
Any clue of what can be? Is there a way to grab some logs to try to understand what's happening, or it is too difficult and it's better I don't have too many hopes?

It would appear some sort of corruption has occured. I can't say anything with certainty - but I do believe Bootloader corruption could cause what you are experiencing.
It's possible you could fix this by reflashing the Lollipop Bootloader. I did not include the fastboot command to do this above.
Here it is: mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
Try that and report back.

During my time with Moto G, I flashed it using fastboot, dozens of times, but I was so desperate in the other day that I didn't even notice that your list with commands didn't have the bootloader one.
Now I undestand why the bootloader I have is the one from 5.1 GPE.
I'm gonna try it. In the last 2 days I didn't have any random reboot, but I will take my risk and flash the bootloader from the 5.0.2 EU, and I will report back in the next days.
I'm buying you a beer today, for being so helpful and nice. Thank you very much.

I'm reopening this thread to try to see what's happening with my phone.
So, after flashing the bootloader of the 5.1 GPE, the phone was really better than it was in the OP.
My Moto G didn't reboot anymore when I tryed to turn the screen on, but instead, it started to reboot randomly every 2 or 3 weeks, without needing to touch the phone (the phone was rebooting by itself).
In the last month or so, I'm using the XT1032 Retail EU 5.1 (Optimized) v1.0 from @lost101, and now the behavior is, once again, the described in the OP: I try to turn the screen on, the phone doesen't respond, and after 3 or 4 seconds, it reboots by itself.
And this is happening once every 1 or 2 weeks.
So, can anyone give me some help to try to understand what's happening? @lost101 @luca020400 @LuK1337 @matmutant
Usually, I have the original firmwares from Motorola or GPE, or I can have the optimized versions from @lost101 with TWRP.
Thanks for your help, guys!

Just for the record, I get occasional sudden / unexpected power off. It's rare, but stuff can happen when you are dealing with a complex device such as a smart phone. This is especially so, if you are rooting / modifying the operating system.
The problem could be related to something you are installing. Also, I recommend a clean install once every few months.

[Windows Tool] Moto G 2015 XT1072 Restore to to Stock Android 5.0.2

HI FRIENDS!
This is a one-click tool I made to automatically restore your device back to stock firmware. This is for Windows only at the moment. This tool can restore your device to stock when the device is booted up, in a bootloop, in recovery, or in booloader mode (fastboot mode).
Introducing my new "Restore to Stock" tool for Windows! This is tool currently supports XT1072.
So how do u restore to stock?
***This will wipe all your data***
Step 1)
Download the "Moto G 2014 Restore to Android 5.0.2" zip from here:
XT1072:
1) Firmware 22.46.28 [5.0.2-EU] - LINK
Step 2)
Extract the .zip to a location on your PC/Laptop you can easily access
Step 3)
Plug your Moto G 2015 into your computer
***Make sure all the proper device drivers are installed***
Step 4)
In the extracted folder, find a file called "Auto Restore Script" and click it (It is a Windows batch file)
Step 5)
In less than 5 min. your Moto G 2015 will be restored to stock firmware
NOTE: I RECOMMEND YOU TRY THIS TOOL OUT ON YOUR MOTO G, SO JUST IN CASE IF YOU EVER ARE IN A PROBLEM (BOO-LOOP, CORRUPT PARTITION, ETC.) YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THIS TOOL AND U ARE ASSURED THIS TOOL WORKS! ​
If you like my work please donate by clicking "DONATE TO ME" on the left side of this post under my XDA username.
ALL DONATIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Oh my god, your lovely tool just saved my new Moto G from bricktown after an aborted attempt at rooting. Cannot thank you enough.
One note I want to add: in order to get this to work, I had to move the files into the same folder as my 'fastboot' and 'adb' installation, and also remove the 'm' from the start of each line. Otherwise, it worked perfectly.
Thank you thank you thank you!

you really need to add the mfastboot.exe file to this as in its current state it is not working until you add the file yourself. either add the file or change the script to use normal fastboot

Just to confirm ... will this restore my Moto G back 100% to how it was before I started rooting (and I can then receive official updates)? There are so many different versions of Moto G 2nd generation, like 2014 vs. 2015, Europe vs. USA, etc. I just want to be sure.
I tried rooting my phone yesterday, and I might want to go back to default at some point (I only unlocked bootloader + installed TWRP + installed SuperSU).
See attached photo of my phone's stats.

I have the file. I try to share it this weekend.
EDIT:
Here you are

I tried the whole process, but with "mfastbond" instead of "fastbond" ;-P, and it worked nicely, thanks a lot.
Piece of advice, DON'T SKIP THE ERASE USERDATA LINE!!, I tried to save me the time of setting up everyting again, and I had a memorable UPS! moment, when the boot process stopped into a black screen... thank god I could reboot into bootloader mode and start again :_o

Hey mate don't know if you fixed the problem but you can find the latest image for you phone xt1072 BR

or latest 5.0.2 whit stagefright fix
LL XT1078_THEA_RETBR_DS_5.0.2_LXB22.99-24.12_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
To flash this use the minimal fastboot folder in my sign and the correct bat script LP/MM, just put everything in the same folder and launch the bat

Grab the latest stock image for your phone from the repo linked in my sign, read the first answer in this post reply on how to flash it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of the times if you didn't flashed the wrong files you can recover from a bootloop by wiping data/cache (factory reset) whit bootloader or fastboot.
As @lucifermorn noted the original updater.bat file included by th OP wasn't complete, motoboot.img missing if i'm correct, and wasn't using mfastbootv2.
You can find bat scripts for flashing stock roms in my sign, latest minimal fastboot+mfastbootv2, and a link to the moto g stock roms repo on filefactory.
PS
@vegdroid that image is old too, latest 5.0.2 whit stagefright fix is 22.99-24.12 if i'm correct.
Check the moto g stock images repo linked in my sign.
EDIT
Ouch @erprando just realized you wasn't asking, but stating that you have flashed an xt1072 rom on an xt1078, that a very bad thing, if my bat script isn't working you know why.

I can't install Lolipop -_-' (f*********) (XT1034)

THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED BY THE UNAMAZING MOI
But feel free to read the issue.

Hello everyone, Like usual I managed to destroy to some extend the way my very old phone works. Its Rooted. And after an issue with my phone I reverted to a backup (using CWM) and everything went fine (expect SU Binairy wich failed, but got fixed easily).
Now I'm on stock rom. On Kitkat 4.4.4. So I wanted to install a new rom because I did it many times and never really encountered anything I couldn't fix myself (I've been working with overall technology for 4 years now). While searching the new roms xda offered, I realised that they where all for lolipop (or 90% of them) So I decided to update.
It didn't worked. It didn't worked so hard It bootlooped at least 5 times before I shut it down myself.
I don't remember where it failed, but it had to do with my System Version (Somewhere in a folder)
More info:
MOTO G XT1034 Kitkat 4.4.4
System version:
210.12.41.falcon_umts.AWSRetail.en.CA
Kernel :

Please flash one of the factory images that is right for your phone in your case is XT1034:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347780781
Download it, extract it, and then flash it using these mfastboot commands:

mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot.exe erase cache
mfastboot.exe erase userdata
and then type mfastboot reboot to reboot the device. If you don't have ADB and fastboot installed then install this ADB and fastboot installer:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0MKgCbUM0itSUhpUklCTFpzWkE/view
also these drivers from Motorola: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
and then extract this to C:\adb folder created by the ADB and fastboot installer
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934532795
and type "Y" and enter for all questions.
To flash the images just hold the SHIFT key and then right click in the folder and select open command window and apply that commands above (like mfastboot flash etc...)

So if you still think I should flash stock rom tell me. I think I accidentally flashed the wrong stock rom. Im not sure though.

Please follow the instructions I wrote beacuse what you are doing is wrong.
First you can't flash OTA updates with CWM just with Motorola official recovery for your device version in your case is XT1034 AWS the recovery for XT1032 will not flash OTA for XT1034.
Second you're trying to flash a 5.0.2 based image over 4.4.2 and that's is not going to work.
So please follow my instructions and you will get the Android 5.0.2 with no problems like this

I am not choosing to reboot it in recovery, it does it automatically.

Keep pressed these buttons for 10-15 seconds to enter fastboot mode and then flash the files above: Volume down + power and then connect via usb the moto g and flash the files.

I got a soft brick after flashing it. I'm suck at the logo (the bootloader unlocked logo)

Are you flashed all the files ? There were any errors ?

Yes I did and no it didn't had apparent errors. I tried erasing the cache, Dalvik cache and user data. Didn't worked.

So here what ended up happening:
I fixed it without your help.
But now that I flashed motoboot from the file you sent me its uncompatible with my old rom and now my screen flickers everytime I open it (I need to close it to fix it)

Final note. I fixed everything the way I should of.
I got the lolipop stock rom, Pushed it into CWM using adb and flashed it like that.
I got no problems with anything regarding it and will make a backup.
Thanks for the help

Yes, the new bootloader ic ompatibile with 5.0.2 and 5.1. On kitkat you will get screen flicker.

Thank you.
I had an M8 and it stopped charging last night. I bought the Moto G from someone on Craigslist while I wait for the next Nexus(s)(i)(whatever). The one I bought was the XT1034 model and I've been searching and reading for a few hours on how to upgrade it from 4.4.4. I tried installing CM 12.1 and got the Bootloader error, I installed a 5.0.2 based rom and got the screen flicker. Now I'm on 5.0.2 with no flicker.
I know what I'm doing, I've been rooting and roming since 2010 with my OG EVO 4G but I still followed your instructions exactly and it worked. The only issue was the first boot hung on the splash screen for a while and I got a bit nervous but everything worked out.
