MOTO G XT1032 almost bricked - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have been seeking for infos to solve my problems for days and so, eventually, I come to you, begging for your help.
My device is a Moto G 2014 XT1032 (Europe), unlocked and used to be on android lollipop stock (I upgraded it manually during Easter).
Following a wrong attempt to restore a backup, I have (almost) bricked my phone.
Here is what works : Fastboot but NOT adb, acess to recovery (clockwork) and that's it. The usb debugging is not activated.
Otherwise, the phone is stucks in a bootloop.
Here is what I get when I try to update the phone :
Code:
C:\>fastboot update pa_dlx.zip
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
C:\>
And when I simply try to flash the sip (in order to install it from cwm) :
Code:
C:\>fastboot flash zip pa_dlx.zip
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'zip' (205116 KB)...
OKAY [ 6.461s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) Permission denied
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 6.508s
Voilà. I would warmly accept any help you could give me.
I thank you in advance,
M.
EDIT : Thanks to this guide : GUIDE Moto G Restore Stock Firmware, I managed to solve my problem.

Hey nerds,
Could you please help with step by step guide on how to go back and change my UK firmware XT 1032 (for MOTO G) to the normal XT1033 firmware.
I changed my MOTO G XT1033 to XT1032 as was given proper instructions on the web however when I tried searching for instructions going back to XT1033 I didn't find any proper instructions. Please help. I'm kinda in a hurry as I want to sell this phone and need both the sims card tray working.
PS: I have already downloaded the firmware "fastboot_falcon_asia_ds_user_4.3_14.10.0Q3.X-84-7-LCG-4_4_release-keys-cid7-AsiaRetail_03.tar" and per instructions found in the net I got this message

Please help. I'm really desperate.
Will keep a lookout for your reply.
You are flashing 4.3 firmware on 4.4, downgrading doesn't work and might even brick your boot loader!
Try this firmware (it has different flashing instructions)

If you need an unlock code this solved it for me,
Use king root, followed by Honor Tuner app
This is how I did it, couldn't figure out how to use Huawei site either
Follow this guide

Good Luck
KingRoot doesn't work for me on marshmallow. Oh well.
Have you tried using the android apk, not the windows application

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
your system partition is corrupted,
Extract system.img from B560 firmware,
Flash system.img
hopefully it will be ok
Sorry for that late Post it helped. THX

[Completed] Moto G (XT1033) 1st Generation - Bricked

Hi
I'm not able to boot my Moto G (XT1033) 1st Generation.
Its in bootloop, stuck at the M logo screen. I believe its called softbrick, not sure though.
Before my phone got dead it was updated with latest OTA updates.
Anyways I have installed Motorola drivers on my system, setup Minimal_adb_fastboot/mfastboot.
Downloaded the Moto G stock firmware (XT1033) from your forum. (RETAIL-AS_FALCON_KXB20.25-1.31_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml)
I have unlocked bootloader through the Motorola website.
When I run the command to restore the firmware to stock I get the below error.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash logo logo.bin
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'logo' (619 KB)...
OKAY [ 5.073s]
writing 'logo'...
(bootloader) Failed to erase partition
(bootloader) Failed to flash partition logo
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 10.103s
Is there some step I'm missing? Any information is needed, please let me know.
Looking forward to hear back.
Thanks.

Honor 8 impossible to flash system.img

Hey guys
having some problem flashing a stock system.img to my phone. I try to get back to Mashmellow to get my phone back to stock. Currently its rooted and unlocked.
I downloaded the following zip:
Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L09_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C432B131_Western Europe.zip
I unzipped it and extracted all Images from the UPDATE.APP file.
Flashing cust.img, recovery.img, and recovery2.img is no problem. Problem is when flashing system.img
It always says
Code:
[[email protected] honor8]# fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending sparse 'system' 1/6 (435393 KB)...
OKAY [ 11.022s]

[[email protected] honor8]#

TWRP tells me, that it cannot mount system. When restoring a backup with TWRP it works: it writes the system to the flash.
After restore I can reboot into Android again. Unfortunately I tried to installe the latest OTA (B380) which bricked my camera for some reason and makes the system itself kinda buggy.
Does anyone have an idea, how I get out of this situation?
Current Version: FRD-L09C432B360
It won't work this way. I wasted so much time trying. You have to use the rollback procedure to get your phone working again. Search the forum for it, it's been documented pretty well. Good luck

Bricked Honor 8 [SOLVED]

Hello, it seems i have bricked my phone. The model is FRD-L09C432. I've been trying to restore it to stock but to no avail. I've tried flashing various build numbers via the Unbrick funtion of Huawei Multi Tool, but it always gave an error when it was flashing cust.img and system.img, reporting that I'm trying to flash the wrong image. I've also tried the 2-step method in which you load a rollback package in the sdcard and then try to flash the old firmware, but that also doesn't work as when I am in the first step of the progress, trying to install the rollback package, the installer stops immediately at 5% reporting that the installation failed as the update package does not exist.
I wonder if this is an error with the SD card - maybe the phone can't read it properly. What should the SD card be formatted to? Right now, it's a single FAT partition.
Any ideas or tips are welcome.
Edit: when I try to unbrick with HMT i always get something like this:
Code:
13:43:35: Unbricking started. Your computer may freezes during the process.
13:43:35: flash boot "C:\Users\svart\Desktop\unbrick\boot.img"

I solved it. There was a problem with the SD card that's why it wasn't doing the rollback I think. I found the correct rom (B360 from here) which I flashed with HMT.
