bricked a converted Gpe trying to install 4.4.4

hi
phone: moto g xt1032 16gb global gsm, converted to gpe 442
problem
i downloaded the 444 ota from MEGA, installed using an old version of philz, then phone bricked (can´t start the OS)
sure, i know how to restore to stock moto g or gpe via ADB FASTBOOT, and off course i did, but the same happens, stuck at google logo, nothing happens, with both roms
i guess the partition got corrupted, or something very wrong happened with the 444 files, corrupted bootloader or something
i wanted to sideload an update using latest philz, but pc does not detect the phone while in recovery, tried to install the driver but nop, can´t be detected in custom recovery
so........help?
BTE starting philz 6.47.7

Try using this version of philz recovery. This is the version I used to update my converted xt1032.

Very similar problem here. I updated to 4.4.4 via official OTA, but I had the glorious idea of restoring it later to a stock image. Now I can only access fastboot and recovery (TWRP in my case). TWRP indicates that my system and data partitions are nonexistent, so my guess is that the OTA changed the partition table. The only solution I can think of is waiting for a 4.4.4 factory image, which will fix the problem since it would have the correct gpt.bin and motoboot.bin

Maybe you guys will know the answer to this:
I'm on 4.4.3 moto firmware right now on my XT1032, but I want to go 4.4.2 GPE. What do you think, will this conclude with a bricked phone or not?

I would advise you to wait for a 4.4.4 GPE image.

That'd be a wise thing to do, but I didn't.
Everything went fine, and I've written all about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53798598&postcount=666

still bricked
if only i could install the driver when the phone is in recovery, but i can´t
cannot be detected for some reason
fastboot drivers works fine, but not in recovery

I made a method to recover your phone for use! Sadly, you will only be able to use custom ROMs (at least until there's a 4.4.4 image)
Check it in my thread

No working fix at the moment.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...4-4-bricked-phone-fixed-t2803869/post53879298

well i tried everything and still bricked
used stock recovery, philz old and new, and twc? recovery,
flashed some partition file some guy posted
used sideload, push,
flashed stock moto room 442 and stock gpe 442
used paranoid android, cyanogen, and even i have a full nandroid backup from a working moto g gpe 444
but no matter what, there is no partition so there is no way to write anything on /DATA
the best i could managed was the booting logo of cyano and paranoid, nothing else
100% brick
i just hope gpe 444 images get out someday and they work

use it here
had the same problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-4-4-4-gpe-using-philz-recovery-t2806546

The problem is that it seems impossible to get this backup in the right place. Cwm does not see the files.

[Q] Recover for a bricked Moto G?

Hey guys.
Today I wanted to downgrade my MG from 4.4.4 using a batch file with 4.4.2 files using fastboot.
Everything except gpt.bin and motoboot said Okay. These 2 failed :/
It didn't boot so I tried to flash TWRP and install a custom rom but every recovery says
E: cant mount system
E: cant mount data
E: cant mount cache
E: cant mount sdcard
In short, nothing mounts
When booting it up nothing more than the motorola logo shows up!
Did I **** up?

Yeah, u soft bricked your phone,but you van try wiping all partitions and flashing the stock ROM using the adb.

[Q] Moto G XT1033 not charging after bootloop

Hello guys, i have Moto G 1st Gen. Indian version (XT1033) running android 5.0.2... Yesterday i rooted my moto g by unlocking bootloader and flashing TWRP 2.8.6.0-XT1032 & SuperSU 2.45... During the process there was some error (like general unlock failure, wipe partition failure etc). I ignored them and continued... It was booted normally... Then i installed Root Checker and confirmed that root has been done successfully....
After that i tried to make a Nandroid backup using TWRP. Message popped up saying that backup is successful.. Then i pressed reboot system. Then it went into bootloop (stuck at bootloader unlocked warning message). :crying:
When this happened, i thought to flash recovery again and flash stock rom. By the time i downloaded stock rom, the phone discharged completely. Now the phone is not charging I have tried using usb charging through pc and using socket charger, but it's stuck at 0%... (I have kept it for hours) Sometime it try to boot and bootloader unlocked warning appears and stuck there.. after sometime it again go into battery charging logo with 0% and then repeat the process again.. When i try using usb cable, the same cycle continues with frequent connecting and disconnecting... :crying:
What to do now ? I guess it's not possible to flash stock rom without any charge... How to charge my phone ? What other option(s) do i have ?
PS : Sorry if this has been already discussed.

You must not use TWRP from its official site
Those people have not fixed this ****ty bug and many people have got bootloops due to this including me
Use the one available in xda
Solution-
Try to boot the phone in bootloader mode
Whenever the device shows the moto logo immediately press and hold power button and as soon as the screen goes black immediately press and hold power + volume down bottom and it should boot into bootloader
Charge the phone through a USB in bootloader mode
And then either flash the stock firmware again or use custom ROMs

Okk, i was able to go into bootloader mode and charge through usb cable.. But, since then i am trying again & again to flash a rom to get my phone working but everytime something is going wrong.. First i tried to flash stock rom but it was frequently rebooting. So then i tried to flash Resurrection Remix : now it's stuck at RR logo screen for 2 hrs.. Don't know what am i doing wrong ... I am very much frustrated right now... I am now thinking to flash optimised stock rom... Some help from your side will be very helpfull :
1. Please tell me which recovery to use for peace of mind and please give me link for that.
2. I am thinking to use This stock rom to flash. ( I am facing problem with untouched version) Please tell me the exact procedure . Flash recovery > Wipe cache, dalvik, system,data in recovery > Flash rom and then do i need to flash the radio version ? And if i want to root, can i flash SuperSU after that ?
Please Note : I know that what i am asking can be found after a little bit of searching. But i have wasted 4 days and still remaining at the the same spot. Your 15 minutes time can save my another 4 days and put away my frustration i am facing right now. I am asking this because i have gone into such a state that i am thinking of throwing my phone and sleeep right away.. Please do me a favor.

You MUST use the stock version 2.8.6.0 ( do not use the gpe version)
Do not use 2.8.6.0.1 ( it still has bugs)
Flash the recovery through fastboot
Then one by one wipe the following and tell me if any error occurs
System
Data
Cache
Dalvik cache
You must report back the error that comes in recovery logs when you wipe these partitions
Report back

It appears that all your partitions are corrupted
You need to format them
In TWRP format ( not wipe) all partitions
The option to format data partition is straight forward and given in wipe menu
For other partitions (system ,cache) go to wipe---> advanced wipe and change the file system of system and cache partition to ext4 ( don't change to anything else)
This will format them
Try this and then try to do normal wipes and see if you are successful and report back

Yes, now format is successful. Formatting data for first time showed some error but in second time it was successful.
So, what to do now ? I want to go to stock.. So, anything in that direction will be helpful..
Can i flash the link i have posted ? if yes, then do i need to flash radio firmware ?

The link you posted is not pure stock
Its optimised means it is a custom version of stock ROM
The same dev ( @lost101 ) also provides pure versions of stock rom flashable through recovery so try that if you want a pure Motorola ROM
But I suggest you to use CM 12.1 now, as its based on android 5.1.1 its always better then stock 5.0.2 in terms of stability plus you get plenty of customization options and there's already a built in root manager
And the ROM is getting better day by day
So finally its your choice
PS:- No need to flash radio

I already flashed that customised rom.. And also the radio firmware.. Everything is fine now..
I have always wanted to flash CM but stepped back because it is nightly build... However, i have also heard that it is very stable and you are also saying that... So, thinking of flashing that... Please give me the link which to flash & link for gapps if needed... I have just recovered my phone after a long battle and don't want to screw up now by flashing wrong rom..:fingers-crossed:
PS : I don't know how to thank you.. You are a savior man.. This is my first time in unlocking ,rooting and all that stuff and i screw up the thing.. Again, thank you for your help...:good::good:

As a general info, just don't play with fastboot commands and now don't try to flash stock firmware through fastboot again as it most likely will mess with your partitions
And for trying different ROMs you need a backed up system and data partition with a fully working recovery, then experiment with whatever ROM you want there is no harm ( if the ROM don't boot you can force reboot and restore the backup you made)
Link to CM 12.1 nightlies
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=falcon
And just so you know cm is fully stable, I have been using it for three months and I never looked back at stock ones
So flash the latest nightly

XT1032 bricked?

Hi everyone,
I have a XT1032 with a loop boot (It hangs everytime on the Motorola logo).
First of all I was unable to enter into the recovery mode. And I've unlocked the mobile with the motorola code and flashed with the stock recovery. After that I was able to enter into recovery mode.
I've tried to install a ROM via adb sideload but at the 60% always failed and says me that the package couldn't be validated.
I've tried to wipe the data/cache, also I tried to format the partitions (with cache It has gone OK but formatting the userdata partition tolds me that was unsuccessful due blkdiscard errors)
After that I've tried to flash a new recovery (TRWP and CWM) but unfortunately always said the mismatched partition size error, and It's impossible to flash any recovery (only worked with the stock).
Any idea to recover my XT1032?
Thank you!
