Hanging in bootloop after trying to install 4.4.4 - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I registered, hoping that somone maybe could help here.
Yesterday I wanted to get the latest 5.1 update for my moto g, running 5.0.2. Because I rooted the device amd modified some things like uninstalling system apps and replacing system apps with their updates; I wanted to flash a clean system first. I tried to find a german 5.0.2 rom and couldn't find one, so I decided the 4.4.4 version I got should do the same. So I tried to install it via fastboot. For doing this I used these fastboot commands:
Code:
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 system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
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
I got these three errors: version downgraded primary_gp, version downgraded for tz, version downgraded for boot.
On reboot the phone get's stuck on bootloader unlocked screen and won't boot. I can reset by long pressing power, I can also enter fastboot menu.
After searching for two hours I could find this firmware XT1032_FALCON-RETDE_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28.1_1_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml (can't post link) and tried to install, I used the same commands as above and finished without any error. But there's still the bootloop. I tried to install several times and tried also to wipe data and cache. Can anyone help or is the phone bricked forever?

Dont flash motoboot, i had this same problem when flashing motoboot

I tried it again without flashing motoboot, with the same result. I think the problem is, that I flashed it once, so I think I could only fix it by undoing the motoboot flash.
Edit: Seems like the problem is only with stock rom. I tried to install CM12 and it is running fine, except it refuses a wifi connection. If CM would run that would also be ok, but without wifi,...so I just need stock.

Meanwhile I'm using a custom rom as a workaraound.

Try on this order @piet85
logo
boot
recovery
system.img1
system.img2
system.img3
nhlos
erase midem set 1
erase modem set 2
fsg
erase user data
and cache
Mind that the commands are not written on the right way just because im lazy :-

Thank you a lot, don't get me wrong, but for the moment I'm very glad having a running system on my phone and it runs very good for a custom rom. So there is no real need to flash again. Maybe I will do so, when there are major bugs or when I have more time, but for the moment the custom rom does it's job.

Google animation means that you still have the gpe rom on your phone. This happened to me before when i flashed the GPE rom too. What you need to do is flash your firmware again. Download the stock firmware form this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 Then what you need to do is run these commands MANUALLY! As in 1 by 1.

bricked? please help

i received an OTA update on friday, i installed it and after it was completed it restarted and now just shows the bootup screen and restarts over and over. i could access recovery but nothing helped eg clearing catche etc so i downloaded Retail Europe (1GB) - XT1541_OSPREY_RETEU_6.0_MPI24.65-33.1_cid7 and followed theses steps
fastboot oem fb_mode_set

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
every step says it passed ok but when it restarts its still stuck on boot loop the only difference now is if i try to enter recovery it just restarts and again just keeps rebooting.
ive got an aftermarket screen dont know if that makes a difference as ive read apple are bricking phones that havnt been repaired by them selves.
please help im stuck for ideas now
also my bootlocker is locked and cant be unlocked.
just noticed that even though it all pass`s ok my software is staying the same and not updating, ive tried it at least 20 times and on different machines. also tried rsd lite and that also says completed but no change in software
the sotfware listed in the bootloader is, m8919_2020613.22.03.21.29r osprey_emea
and the one im tryig to update to is, m8916_2020629.41.03.21.51r osprey-reteu

Same problem with my Moto 2015 after OTA update, i tryed everything and nothing... =/ boot locked, stock recovery. My baseband M8919_2020613.22.03.21.29R osprey_emea
Tomorrow i will send my moto for Motorola.
wish i could but ive got a replacement screen so they wont touch it so looks like bin for mine
Nothing to do pretty much, same happened to me and there's no fix for that
I think the problem it's the Stock ROM we try flash, because the software version it's different.
I try flash with this ROM [XT1541_OSPREY_RETEU_6.0_MPI24.65-33.1_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC__v2.xml], and i could flashing all files without errors, but still looping on motorola logo.

Motorola Moto G 4G (XT1040) Bootloop Problem

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.

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

Flash went bad, how to flash anything working?

Hi, I've flashed my Moto G and I messed up real bad, multiple flashes and so... I can still get into fastboot, but trying to power up normally just gives me the warning about unlocked bootloader, which hangs indefinitely.
The phone is Moto G 8GB XT1032, Retail DE, originally 4.4.2.
-> What can be done about this? Is there a way to reformat the partitions and flash them all fresh and new?
Just so you know, I've been flashing with this batch below. Whatever I flash with it now, doesn't help.
Code:
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 system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
Btw, I know I probably made a lot of stupid mistakes, but in the past I've succesfully flashed dozens of phones and I never messed up like this... Feel free to mock me
Updated: I installed TWRP and found out I am unable to mount or repair system and cache. Also, both partitions show 0 MB size.
The restore to stock should work. Make sure you have mfastboot, the exact factory firmware images for your device, and that each file flashes successfully. Maybe you could post the cmd output if it doesn't flash correctly.

It initially worked, the phone booted up fine, but after I switched it off, it came back up in recovery mode. Now it only boots up in recovery.

so you can't boot into system?
Finally, I solved it.
I couldn't, but then I found many people have this issue and the solution was to somehow repair the misc directory through ADB in TWRP (instructions are somewhere here at xda-dev). Now works well.

Need help to install stock ROM on Moto G 2013 Falcon

Hi guys,
Im from the UK and I have a Moto G XT1032 device which was running Cyanogenmod 12 up until yesterday when I decided to re-install the stock rom. Unfortunately, I have well and truly botched it. The current situation is that I have TWRP set up as the recovery image, so I can get into 'AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)' OR into TWRP.
I accidentally wiped the 'system' via TWRP which seems to have caused most of my problems. I have tried to install the stock rom using a flashable zip (which failed) and I have also tried around 10 times to install the stock rom using the fastboot 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 system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
#fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
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 I try to do a basic wipe using TWRP, this is what shows up: hxxps://s27.postimg.org/r1dax21mb/falcon.jpg (change xx for tt, I don't yet have 10 posts so I cannot post links)
I just cannot seem to get the stock rom installed and booting no matter what I try. Can someone please work with me to get this sorted?
I would very, very much appreciate the help.
Thank you
Ok so i've managed to fix the 'unable to mount storage' issue via TWRP. I changed 'data' to EXT4 and I don't get any errors now.
But the problem is, for whatever reason, I am just unable to install a stock rom. I've used tutorials and still cannot seem to get a stock rom to load/work.
I used fastboot to install the rom files is this zip: XT1032_FALCON_TESCOGBSL_5.1_LPBS23.13-56-2_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
When I do a normal boot it gets stuck on 'Warning bootloader unlocked'
When I go to 'recovery', it boots up to a dead android which says 'no command'
When I go to factory restore, it gets stuck on the 'Warning bootloader unlocked' screen
What am I doing wrong?
edit: I even tried sideloading cyanogenmod and it said it was successful, but then it boots up to TWRP. Totally confused! In desperate need of help.
EDIT: I have now made progress. Here are my basic instructions:
put all the files from the zip file in a folder
put mfastboot.exe files into the same folder
install TWRP, erase
run bat file (add/remove sparse depending on files)
reboot and wait. Should work
I have managed to install the OS but wifi isn't working. And i'm now learning about a file called persist that I need to look into regarding wifi.
