*I erased all partitions, sorry for the bad grammar in the title.
So I really messed up when restoring my OPO back to stock and I flashed cyanogens boot images however the userdata.img made my phone only have 12GB avaliable. I later found the solution for that problem only to make myself another...
I really need a pro's help here. I haven't run into an issue like this EVER before. I'm no nub.
So here's what I did.
fastboot erase modem
fastboot erase sbl1
fastboot erase dbi
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase rpm
fastboot erase tz
fastboot erase LOGO
fastboot erase oppostanvbk
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
Now it seems that I can't get into download mode by holding volume up and power.
PLZ HALP
Which link said you to "erase" all the partitions?
If you ever wanted to erase anything, you should get into recovery mode and choose "Wipe"
Erasing all the partitions like you did, doesn't make any difference in performance of the device.
Only option for you is to visit the customer support. Your bacon is now just a piece of hardware without any firmware which helps you to load software
Erasing the partitions was a really bad idea, can you please link to the guide that said to do that? It needs to be investigated. You could try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732
no guide, it was my stupidity.
Try the method I linked to above, report back with the results.
alright so I think this phone is gone for good at this point, I have been holding volume up and power for literally a minute and I feel no vibration. I made sure to charge it last night as well..
Does your phone still detectable in PC as QHSUSB_BULK or something similar? If yes, your phone isn't brick yet. You can follow this guide here. It unbricked my OPO twice. It will flash to Color OS first, then you can just simply flash back to any OS you want.
Alrighty thanks to @Heisenberg and @soralz and the authors of those guides, got my phone back and running
I can't express to you how thankful I am, I was so sure I had to go out and buy a new phone
Very glad to see you revived it, you're most welcome.

Phone: Moto X / KitKat 4.4
Carrier: AT&T (XT1058)
Problem: Mysteriously stopped booting.
Good News: Fastboot is recognized.
Bad News: (bootloader) Flash write failure
Taking this guide as my playbook - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/kitkat-update-crashed-moto-x-t2535150 I tried to flash on a stock OS. Here's the main spot from the thread I'm working from-
-- Solution #2 - Medium --
1) Download the stock SBF firmware for your pre-KitKat ROM (sbf.droid-developers.org)
2) Unzip the ROM and copy the files to your fastboot directory
3) Go into Fastboot mode (power button and vol. down) and type in:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The mission objective is simple: retrieve files off of sdcard and factory reset.
So with my mfastboot (not the android one), I'm trying to flash my stock OS back on so I can get a drive in windows and retrieve sdcard files. Actually, ANY OS back on at this stage of the game will be nice.
Things I have NOT done:
1. rooted the phone, or
2. unlocked the boot loader
If doing these will help, let me know.
So I get my download from sbf.droid-developers.org for 4.4.2 & ATT carrier and unpack the files.
flashing for 'partition' in gpt.bin actually works (yay), but I get the above error ("Flash write failure") for system.img and recovery.img
uh-oh
It seems others with this problem changed cables and USB ports, so I tried that. No dice.
Someone said something about permissions, so I started my command window with administrator privileges, also no luck.
Unless, of course, they meant permissions on the phone side of things? Would that actually help?
So at this juncture if my SDCard died I can go for warranty because I never did any unlocking.
However, if the SDCard can be saved, I am willing to void the warranty and unlock. The data on it is valueable to me and yes a lesson I learned here is I should start using dropbox or equivalent service. Noted.
Should I unlock the phone and try mfastboot flash system system.img, or am I already dead?
Factory reset doesn't even work, I get "no valid piv block in sp for system"
I just ran mfastboot erase cache and at the command prompt I get:
(bootloader) Failed to erase partition
FAILED: Remote failure
The phone screen says, 'Failed to erase partition cache'
This doesn't sound good.... Is there anyway can get this thing booted?
Ah, nevermind, it just keeps getting errors flashing everything. Something with the phone itself is seriously wrong.
I've decided to return it. I think my data is lost.
So I have a Moto G LTE, and haven't used it all weekend. But today, i went to plug it in and CM 12 was just stuck at the boot animation. When I tried getting into recovery mode, and get a can't load cache error, and freezes when I try to do anything in recovery (clockworkmod). Please help, I can't afford another bricked device!
Do you have a PC / Laptop with Fastboot set up?
The following command might help: fastboot erase cache

Don't mess around with fastboot erase - people have destroyed their phones with it.
fastboot erase cache / fastboot erase userdata - are the only commands that should be used.

What happens if someone reboots their phone after using that command? Are they not hard-bricked?
I don't consider that command wise in any case, and especially unnecessary in this one.
I swear I've tried every fastboot erase and fastboot flash command but Clockworkmod still says Can't mount cache/recovery and there is still the Cyanogenmod 12 boot logo looping FOREVER!!!
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
EDIT: I just read that someone's eMMC got fried... could that be the problem?
Trying 'every fastboot erase command' is the easiest way to destroy your phone. Please state exactly what fastboot commands you have used?

I am pretty sure it's not reading or writing, which makes me think the eMMC is fried.

Hi, this is my first time making a post, ok here's the thing, a couple of days ago my phone run out of battery, when i come back to charge the phone, this just get stuck in the Motorola logo and don´t turn on, i never make nothing like root or flashing roms, the phone os was all stock Android 5.1; so i look in the internet for possible cause and i find that it was a bootloop, i try to get in to the fastboot flash mode to make a reset with the factory option but just get directly to the motorola logo and dont do nothing, so a try with the recovery option and gets in to the android system recovery <3e> and try the wipe data/factory reset but doesn´t work. I try even via computer using the minimal adb and fastboot to erase the cache and the userdata with the commands and doesn't work, still appearing the motorola logo. so i found that i have to install the original rom again but first ill have to unlock the bootloader for my device, so i did it, i unlock the bootloader and now appear <Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3> and now appear the poster WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED instead of the motorola logo; then i search for the stock rom for my device and i find this one XT1040_PEREGRINE_RETBR_5.1_LPB23.13-8_cid12_CFC.xml.zip (i know that my device is peregrine because i remember saw it before in the settings but not remeber the hole name), so i make the installation with adb tools like the post say and make this commands:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
when its over i press fastboot reboot, but then appears again the WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED poster, i try to make it again, bus still appearing, i try more than 10 times, but still appearing.
sorry if the post is too large but i try to explain everything so you guys can help me because im desesperate with this, thanks.

If your goal is to re-lock the bootloader: try the command: fastboot oem lock
However, I don't see that solving your problem and may compromise your ability to restore to stock. Instead check this link and follow the install directions EXACTLY:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816
eg. for Canada choose: XT1040 (Note: for Rogers/Fido - confirmed)
Retail Canada 5.1 ROM (Untouched) (531mb) [Download]
i.e., you want the untouched version for your specific region.
Good luck. S
This started happening since today morning. The phone doesn't charge or get detected when connecting to a computer.
I tried wiping everything and clean installing different roms and kernels, but nothing helped.
For some reason, the phone is charging when in the Bootloader screen though. What should I do?
Windows 10? Install this
Huh?
Let me clarify, it was working properly until last night, and I have Windows 10.
I'm currently forced to charge using the bootloader screen as the phone refuses to charge otherwise - not while fully switched off, and also not when switched on.
The computer and the phone don't even detect that anything is connected when I plug in the USB. (The cable is okay, I'm using the same cable to charge my phone on the bootloader screen)
Wait... It charges in the bootloader (or while off I assume) but not when booted into the OS? Is this device stock? What have you tried, wipe cache, factory reset, etc?

No it's not stock.
I've tried everything. Full wipe and flashed various roms and kernels. No avail. :/
Check for lint build up in the plug on the phone and try a different cable... I know it sounds wrong but once the phone is booted it does some simple communication to the source, that may not be working.

I forgot to mention something.
The battery icon in the notification bar is permanently stuck showing charging even though the phone actually isn't being charged (and the battery screen in Settings also show 'Not charging').

This didn't work, sorry.
So, it only seems to charge when connected the PC in bootloader mode. It doesn't charge otherwise - not with any charger, and not while being switched on. wth.
Nvm, I'll try removing the lint.

Did you try to install stock rom or only custom roms?

Only custom roms. I'm admittedly a bit scared to try installing the stock rom as it might get bricked.
EDIT: Btw, cleaning it didn't work. I suppose I have no option but to give it for repairs.
If I were you, I would try to do this. Dont be scared. If you have the newest marshmallow partition and bootloader then flash factory images without these two. You can also skip logo if you want to keep disabled unlocked bootloader information.

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

Wait 5-10 minutes and done

Where will I get these files?
Here you go
And if I remember correctly you have an xt1550 right? I have flashed factory image of 6.0.1 with no problems on my xt1550, just to assure.
Check in device manager & devices and printers, if something pops up when phone is connected in bootloader mode. If a device with yellow triangle shows up, you can install drivers (pointing to driver inf file) to and subsequently fastboot flash stock.

I think if you flash partition and bootloader then it also should work. Brick issue only appears when you are trying to do downgrade from marshmallow to lollipop and you flash older partition (you should always have the newest one).

Alright. I'm going to flash it then. Downloading it will take a while...
I don't remember ever updating the bootloader though..
@Acetyloaceton
So, I tried to flash the stock recovery.img
I got this.....
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'stock' (16484 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.571s]
writing 'stock'...
(bootloader) Permission denied
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.598s
Nevermind, I managed to flash everything and all went well, but now the phone is in a bootloop between bootloader unlocked screen and the Erasing screen.

Have you tried factory resetting via stock recovery? I mean power off>power+vol. Down>bootloader>recovery. If still can't boot then after factory resetting try flashing firmware again.
