I accidentally hardbricked my Moto G. I had official OTA 5.0.1 soft, and i decided to flash a custom ROM. I had to flash stock 4.4.2 to rescue my device after softbrick, and everything went well. Then i updated it to 4.4.4 via official OTA and my phone wont turn on now and is only visible as qhsusb_bulk in device manager. I guess i should followthis guide to revive my phone, but which firmware do I chode now? 4.4.2, 4.4.4 or 5.0.1? I bought my phone on Amazon UK. Thanks for help.

Hello, i have my motorola RAZR HD (xt925). My phone is rooted and the bootloader unlocked. I flashed with android 5.0 Lollipop cm-12-20141218-UNOFFICIAL-moto_msm8960.
Everything was working fine except video. I was about to sell my phone today, but the buyer wanted to have the phone back to the official ROM 4.4.2. So i thought i could downgrade from android 5 to 4.1.2 using RSD Lite. Unfortunately flash failed and the phone was stuck to AP FASTBOOT. I managed to go to recovery and tried to flash back to android 5.0 cm-12-20141218-UNOFFICIAL-moto_msm8960. The flash went fine, but when i rebooted the phone, it booted back to AP FASTBOOT.
So how can i go back to either Android 4.4.4 cyanogen or to official 4.4.2 ? I hope it is possible so i can sell my phone.
Thanks in advance for your help

i, i installed asian rom 5.0.2 but it considered my phone as a dua sim and it was very annoying, so i decideted to come back to gpe (originally was gemarma retail), so i installed via fastboot 4.4.2 and i update by official ota update to 4.4.4, but when it was installing it the screen turned off and now the phone doesn't boot up, neither the bootloader.. why? what can i do to fix it?
I installed the Android Lollipop 5.0.1 GB OTA after flashing the Stock GB 4.4.4 firmware last night then flashed TWRP 2.8.3 and Aero Kernel. Now I'm thinking of selling my phone to upgrade to the second generation Moto G thus requiring me to reset the phone entirely, how would I go about this without bricking my phone? (Phone is XT1032)
I would flash back to stock 4.4.4 and OTA to 5.0 so the biyer doesn't have the ripple effect on the phone.
I had a phone with stock Telus 5.02 and I was able to downgrade to stock 4.4.4. Just don't try to flash motoboot.img.
Don't forget to flash a new logo too so the buyer doesn't see the unlocked bootloader warning.
So how would I go about doing that? Do you have a thread I could follow the steps of?
I recently soft bricked my phone (Moto G 2013 falcon) downgrading it from Cyanogen 12 to stock 4.4.4 (Argentina), so after many tries I ended up booting in stock 4.4.4 Europe retail (210.12.40.falcon_umts.EURetail.en.EU).
I try to upgrade that to 5.0, but the OTA update fails in the middle of the installation. Then I tried to download the OTA file manually and install it via stock recovery, but it fails too.
Is there any other way? Or do I have to convert it to 4.4.4 stock Brazilian or some other variation with more OTA files available?
Thanks in advance,
Are you unrooted, running stock recovery, and stock ROM?
Yes: unrooted, stock recovery, stock ROM. My bootloader is unlocked though, so I can easily root the phone or change the recovery.
I already tried with a (supposed) official 5.0 OTA for Europe using stock recovery, but it didn't work ("update failed" or so).
I have the Telus xt1032 8GB. Not sure if it runs or you need the same Telus firmware but I was able to flash back to stock 4.4.4, update Motorola apps, and take the OTA update via wifi. I did this three times on my xt1032 in the past 2 weeks without any problems.
After many soft bricks I ended up in stock 4.4.4 US retail. Although I did upgrade Motorola Update, it says there's no new system software (5.0).
How do I upgrade from 4.4.4 US retail (stock) to 5.0? Is there an OTA file for US? I already searched everywhere, but can't seem to find it.
I could also go to 4.4.4 stock Brasil or Argentina and then apply the OTA, but right now my phone only boots if I install a firmware via recovery (ZIP file), not flashing it with fastboot. And I couldn't find installable ZIP files for 4.4.4 stock Brasil or Argentina.
I'm not sure if you could get the ota update officially (as in the new software available thing).
You could try out the 5.0.2 version from some other reason or you could check out some custom ROM.

If your phone works on 4.4.4 Retail, it will probably work with Telus 4.4.4. I had GPE 4.4 on my xt1032 8 GB, flashed back to retail 4.4.4, then flashed to Telus 4.4.4, updated Moto apps, got the Telus OTA update to 5.02.
So where can I get this Telus 4.4.4 firmware? Is it flashable from recovery (ZIP)? Remember fastboot flashes don't work since the first time I softbricked my phone.

When you boot your phone into fastboot and you type "fasboot devices", it doesn't return you phone's serial number?
I don't think there is a Lollipop OTA for USA retail yet.

Android 5.0 USA Retail is not officially released. I would suggest audit13's method.

Fastboot does work. It flashes the firmware with no errors, but the phone won't boot afterwards. I don't know why, but it happens since I first softbricked my phone.
I used to have Retail USA 4.4.4 on my Telus xt1032.
If you really want 5.02, you could try flashing the stock Telus 4.4.4, update motorola apps, and install the 5.02 OTA update.
