Hello everyone. So I was updating CM12.1 to the latest nightly (4th of July) and when it finished flashing, it rebooted mid-boot, and when booted into 5.1 it said something about "encription failed" and told me to factory reset. So I went to factory reset it, and my CWM recovery was gone. The only thing that happened when I went into recovery is that the spinning-thing Andy popped up for 0.5 seconds again and again. I tried flashing the entire firmware again (stock 5.1) but no help.
I can access the bootloader and input fastboot commands.
I would give more system information, but now I don't know what the hell this phone's running.
moto g XT1039 cid7
Was running CM12.1
Was using CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine recovery
Thanks for the help.
EDIT: FIXED
So, in order to fix it, i had to install stock firmware one or two times until it worked. You can get your corresponding 4.4/5.1 stock firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/xt1039-moto-g-4g-stock-firmware-kxb21-t2805619 If you install it and it doesn't go past the "Bootloader unlocked" screen, try flashing the stock firmware a few more times until it works.
Hope it helps!

Hi,
I've been searching the web for a few days and tried many things, but so far I haven't been able to fix my Moto G.
My device:
Moto G (XT1032)
DE distribution
single-sim 8GB variant
Stock firmware was Blur_Version.14.71.8.falcon_umts.O2.en.DE or Blur_Version.14.91.11.falcon_umts.O2.en.DE (not sure)
What preceded the problem:
Something like a week ago I turned on my Moto G for the first time, checked for updates to KitKat but no updates were found
I forced checkin several times, rebooted the device, still no updates found.
Updates were available on the web for several weeks, so I thought I would update manually.
I unlocked bootloader (didn't know I didn't have to)
Downloaded KitKat rom for a single-sim variant from o2 DE distribution
Flashed firmware using motorola version of fastboot (didn't forget to clear the cache and userdata)
All went fine and I was able to boot to KitKat
When it happened:
I was tinkering with developer options, probably switched runtime to ART (not sure)
I rebooted the device (manually or when switching runtime)
Device stuck in a bootloop
What doesn't work:
Stock recovery (bootloop, 4.3 and 4.4 firmware)
CWM recovery (bootloop, both with motoboot.img for 4.3 and 4.4)
TWRP recovery (splashscreen flashing, both with motoboot.img for 4.3 and 4.4)
CM 11 (bootloop)
What works:
Philz recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639583, when this recovery is flashed, device boots straight into recovery)
ADB (in recovery)
What I've tried:
Flashing many, many firmwares. Triple checked if I didn't miss anything.
Factory resets, partition formatting (In philz recovery).
Rooting the phone
Checked whether eMMC chip is corrupted through ADB shell (dmesg | grep mmc0), seemed OK, no error messages (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284196)
Using 4.3 motoboot.img with cyanogenmod and recoveries that doesn't work
Flash stock firmware and install OTA 4.4 update in philz recovery (seemed promisingly, took longer than flashing full firmware)
Where I may have had screwed up:
- After few initial attempts to fix my phone failed, I tried corrupting the bootloader to get to download mode as suggested here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2623587 and correct it.
I would be glad for any idea C'mon, you are some smart guys, we can do it!
Try to flash stock 4.4 firmware, do not flash any recovery after flashing the stock 4.4 and see what happens
I've experienced something like that, and after reflashing the stock many times i fixed it
sounds like my problem exactly. what did you do, return the phone?
how does flashing stock repeatedly help? which stock? which method (does it matter if you do it from fastboot or in philz or some other way?)
I have the same problem, could u solve this? plsssss HELP MEEEEE
I rooted my phone by unlocking my bootloader, putting philz touch recovery, and flashing superSU.zip. After using my phone with root for a while, i noticed that some things were really unstable and buggy, such as it wouldn't charge, so i decided that i might as well flash cyanogenmod 12 since i have a recovery. This was my first mistake, as flashing cyanogenmod put my phone into an infinite boot animation screen. I then used adb to sideload the official Motorola 5.1 update. But this also gave me an infinite bootloop. I tried flashing cyanogenmod 12.1, that also didnt work. I tried flashing stock android 5.1, also bootlooping. I did some searching and i found that my bootloader was not recent enough to flash lollipop roms. So i tried again after updating my bootloader, and now its even worse. It doesn't even attempt to start up, it just goes straight into recovery mode as soon as i boot it up. It also has this strange screen flickering/glitching going on, like this. I don't even know where to go from here so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Some extra info:
I did clear all cache before flashing.
Model number is XT1032
Bootloader version is 4118, before it was 4113.
I recommend flashing a stock 4.4.4 ROM to your phone using fastboot commands. Do no flash anything older than 4.4.4.
Flash cm11 first. I had the stuck at bootanimation. On cm 12.1 flashed 11 then wiped and flashed 12.1 and all is Good
Alright so I have a Moto G original version, currently running 4.4.4. I previously rooted it and stuck TWRP on it, but then when it became available to update to Lollipop on the Moto G I tried to get stock recovery on it. I used "MotoToolAIOV3" to put "Kitkat Stock Recovery" on it. This seemed to work fine, until it came to update, which then it errored every time I tried. I then realised the stock recovery that "MotoToolAIOV3" must be faulty or something, so I tried reputting TWRP on my Moto G by flashing it from an app called "Rashr". This seemed to be successful, HOWEVER I went to reboot my phone to check if it had worked, put it into bootloader, then went into recovery and it still came up with the stock recovery "MotoToolAIOV3" had given me. I was confused, so I tried "normal powerup", which THEN sent me into TWRP, however this time, when the bootloader unlocked warning came up, a weird blurry line went through my screen every so often, and then it went into TWRP, with the line going across the screen in TWRP as well. I've tried to boot into normal powerup through TWRP, Bootloader, normal powerup, holding down power button but every time I try, it goes into TWRP with a dodgy line going across my screen. I'm currently doing exams and I really need my phone as I have revision notes on apps that I can only access on that phone, and things such as exam timetable saved in the actual phone.
Please, somebody help ):
Again my phone is a Moto G Original Gen running 4.4.4 stock android, on a tesco thing (cant remember what its called might be kernel).
Thank you.

Seems like you have flashed TWRP into the kernel partition. Seem like the "Rashr" app or whatever flashed it there by mistake. I recommend that you install TWRP via a more standard procedure, such as using fastboot(if bootloader unlocked) or using the instructions given where ever you downloaded TWRP. Your situation is not serious as long as you are careful....
1. Install recovery to correct partition
2. Boot to that recovery and wipe/factory reset etc...
3. Install an new ROM.
Hi everyone. I'd appreciate it if I got some help fixing my Moto G as it's been gathering dust ever since I couldn't boot into the recovery and stuck in the bootloader. I accidentally deleted the OS and when I try to install the stock rom, it just goes straight back to the bootloader. I really want to get this phone working again. When I try installing a recovery, it says "Mismatched Partition Size". It's the same with TWRP and CWM. My goal is to revert back to the stock ROM, which is 4.4.4 Boost Mobile. Manually flashing the ROM in sequences didn't work.
If any of you can, please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone flashing a custom recovery on Falcon gets this same error. Ignore it. Your issue is something else.

Solved: I had to update the bootloader first.
I've been getting the same recovery partition size doesn't match error. I've tried TWRP 3.0.0.0.2 and 3.0.0.0 for falcon and get this error with both. I've rooted HTC, Sony Xperia and Nexus devices before without any problems.
The previous poster said he updated the (I'm guessing Motorola) bootloader. Where and how do I find this update.
My bootloader is: 41.1A (sha-80481ae, 2015-04-10 14:30:20) The phone is a 1st gen Moto G 1GB/16GB.

41.1A is the latest available bootloader
and the error of the mismatched partition can be ignored, just reboot to twrp after you flashed it and it will be fine
Just tried to reboot into TWRP, but I got the robot with a red triangle and 'no command'.
I'll try reflashing TWRP and report back later

After you flashed twrp, don't reboot using fastboot command, just power down using the power button and boot to twrp using the power+volume down button. Just try that and see if it successfull.
I had same issue, after HOURS i found out why, thanks to this guide:
http://www.droidthunder.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-moto-g-2013/
ALL OTHERS guide i read, included the istruction on twrp site itself, was wrong.
after you use fastboot to flash twrp, you must NOT restart, but simply:
After successfully installing the TWRP recovery, on your phone (in fastboot mode) go to the Recovery option by pressing volume down button and then press volume up button to select it.

like this, FINALLY, my motog loaded the twrp.
hope this will help others with this same issue, to save the 2 hours i lost, lol.
Hi,
I have a Moto G 2013 (falcon) and have installed multiple custom ROMs over the years, with the latest one being the Pixel Experience 8.1 ROM. However, I attempted to go back to the original firmware as Pixel Experience wasn't working too well, and it didn't work, and I got a recommendation to install Lineage OS 14.1 on it, at which point when attempting the install the booting up sequence took forever, and so I tried the Resurrection Remix ROM, also no luck. It appears the phone is completely unable to boot - what should I do?
Kind regards,
Marco
A similar problem, I can not install any ROMs and my stock recovery blinking
restore latest stock firware, this fixes most unfixable bootloop issues. remember by restoring stock firmware i mean "fastboot" way, not through custom recovery.

Don't work, I believe I've damaged some partition (like System,Data, ...) and no rom can be installed, bootloader may be corrupted
My XT1033 only turn on fastboot and stock recovery blinking, other recovery like TWRP they work but I can not mount or wipe any partition
I had similar symptoms after accidentally flashing a falcon firmware to my peregrine device. This caused the screen to "fade out" or flicker, but I could get to the bootloader, albeit flickering. Flashing a correct boot.img solved the bad screen issue, at which point I used fastboot boot mode to boot TWRP and flash a more "correct" rom.
I then ran into the forever booting issue. I fixed this by flashing the relevant radio...It frustratingly booted to oobe within seconds!
Hope this helps someone
