Hi!
I need your help. I have Moto G LTE xt1039. It was unlocked and rooted with stock recovery. I was running stock 5.1 and got OTA with security fix. While updating the phone hang on "bootloader unlocked" screen. Now I cant'n boot. I can boot to bootloader, but to to recovery.
Tried to flash available 5.1 with mfastboot, but there were errors flashing gpt.img and, as far as I remember, boot.img. Installed TWRP now. AS far as I can see in TWRP there is null size /system partition. I think this is an issue. If I try to boot the screen hangs on "bootloader unlocked" screen.
I did try to flash stock 4.4 with stock recovery. It doesn't boot. The screen is black and nothing happens.
Could anyone, please, help me? The hardware is working and flashable, but I can't make it boot
Solved by flashing firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816 using TWRP :good:

I had really hard time naming this thread because I'm not sure anymore what's the problem.
I tried to update my Moto G (unlocked bootloader and rooted) to 4.4.2. First I unrooted the device by flashing stock rom using this guide. After I had succesfully updated to 4.4.2 I changed from dalvik to ART. When I tried to reboot, after the Motorola boot animation there was only a black screen. I tried to downgrade back to 4.3 with no success. Now when I try to boot I only get the "warning bootloader unlocked" sign over and over again. CWM recovery can't mount /sdcard/.
Have I bricked my phone or is there something I can and should do?
Thanks for the replies, I'm covered in cold sweat here.
EDIT: Seems I was too quick to make a thread. After editing the flashall.bat a little like stated in the thread I was able to flash back to stock.
So i was on stock 4.4.4 with root and cwm recovery.
got notification for 5.0.2 update, i reflashed stock recovery wipe user data & cache and unrooted my phone through super user app.
i downloaded the update and phone automatically flashed it through recovery, after that phone is not booting up stuck at moto M logo and keeps on restarting.
i just want to know that how can i check if the bootloader is updated or not and any safe method to flash stock firmware again wihout Hard Bricking it .
any suggestion are welcomed , i can boot phone in recovery and bootloader mode
Do you know what version you had before? The bootloader should have a version number on it and date. Like version 41.13 2014-06-16. If the date is more recent than when you got the phone, the bootloader was probably updated.
I would suggest you flash a Stock Firmware using Fastboot, it would be the safest way I can come up with.
Hi all. I own a Moto G xt1032 UK version. (GSM right?)
I was on 4.4.4 Epsilon ROM but I wanted to flash stock 4.4.4, so I used a tutorial I found on youtube that set me up to stock 4.4.2, then I upgraded to 4.4.4 and THEN there was another update to 5.0.1. So as you can guess, I upgraded to lollipop and that was it - bootloop. I have tried flashing other roms through fastboot and nothing worked, I get an error when I flash ''system'' that says ''image is too large'' once all is done, phone restarts and its stuck on bootloop once again. The bootlogo changes when I flash different rom etc. But I don't know what to do, any ideas? :/ I have also tried to flash a custom recovery and sideload the Epsilon ROM but I only get an error in my command line that says no device connected after I hit the command. Any suggestions guys? I appreciate any sort of help, thanks guys.
I'll also add that I think I have the 41.18 bootloader if it helps (it says so in the bootloader settings)
When flashing a ROM in fastboot, are you also flashing the gpt file?
Yeah. I flash everything there's to flash as all tutorials instruct.
To try and get your phone up and running, flash a custom recovery from fastboot. Once the recovery image has been flashed, use the phone's volume buttons to boot into recovery. If you can get into recovery, try and flash a custom ROM.
Ah, I forgot to add. When I attempt to flash anything from my storage it says some sort of error coun't mount /sdcard and others when the recovery opens up. I tried flashing other recoveries, TWRP, CWM both show the exact same errors..Can't mount SDcard etc. :/ That is why I tried the sideload method which didn't work for me either.
You're flashing recovery for the falcon?
Yes..for falcon. I've done it a bunch of times before, however I never had the unable to mount error in the recovery..
I don't have my moto g on me but I found Philz Touch (based on CWM) worked besr for me after i switched back from GPE to CM12. I was getting weird error messages in TWRP.
I rooted my phone by unlocking my bootloader, putting philz touch recovery, and flashing superSU.zip. After using my phone with root for a while, i noticed that some things were really unstable and buggy, such as it wouldn't charge, so i decided that i might as well flash cyanogenmod 12 since i have a recovery. This was my first mistake, as flashing cyanogenmod put my phone into an infinite boot animation screen. I then used adb to sideload the official Motorola 5.1 update. But this also gave me an infinite bootloop. I tried flashing cyanogenmod 12.1, that also didnt work. I tried flashing stock android 5.1, also bootlooping. I did some searching and i found that my bootloader was not recent enough to flash lollipop roms. So i tried again after updating my bootloader, and now its even worse. It doesn't even attempt to start up, it just goes straight into recovery mode as soon as i boot it up. It also has this strange screen flickering/glitching going on, like this. I don't even know where to go from here so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Some extra info:
I did clear all cache before flashing.
Model number is XT1032
Bootloader version is 4118, before it was 4113.
I recommend flashing a stock 4.4.4 ROM to your phone using fastboot commands. Do no flash anything older than 4.4.4.
Flash cm11 first. I had the stuck at bootanimation. On cm 12.1 flashed 11 then wiped and flashed 12.1 and all is Good
My Moto G Started having a blue screen when i would boot into it(system,recovery,factory) so i had to flash 4.4.4 when i have 5.1 on it and it went away but then it would get stuck on the unlocked bootloader screen so i tried relocking it and locking it but that didnt work. i Have A XT1031 and tried flashing TWRP recovery but it still gets stuck eitherway. Is there anything else i could do?
Edit: Nvm i fixed it
