Hello
there is this problem i'm facing with my Moto G.
The thing is that, I unlocked my bootloader yesterday.
Then Today I was trying to remove that warning of " unlocked bootloader"
But unfortunately I am unable to flash it.
I unable to flash anything via fastboot. and my device is not rooted.
I tried flashing logo.bin and recovery ( CWMR )
but it keeps saying
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'logo' (619 KB)...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in the command prompt.
and in my Moto g in fastboot it says
cmd: getvarartition-type:logo
cmd: getvar:max-download-size
cmd: download:0009ae32
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And it just stays there for infinity. unless I reboot it.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HEEEEEEEEELLP
Thankyou :') :')
provide more details like if you made a backup, can you bootup your rom if all else fails head to the restore stock firmware thread in moto g faq section
i have the weaksauce temproot installed, unlocked, and s-off but i can't flash a custom recovery so i can install roms. i've tried philz and twrp and both times i get this error
target reported max download size of 1830711296 bytes
error: cannot load 'twrp.img': No error
this is the command im using "fastboot flash recovery XXXX.img"
I'm using win7 x64 if that matters. Any help you guys could give would be greatly appreciated.
I am trying to recover my phone by flashing back to stock using the Wugfresh toolkit. However the stock CM12S system image doesn't get pushed to the phone but everything else works. As a result, I'm stuck with a phone that cannot boot into the ROM but cannot be flashed using TWRP or toolkit either. I've already set the current status as "soft-bricked/bootloop." This is the error I'm getting:
target reported max download size of 1073741824 bytes
error: cannot load 'C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\Bacon Root Toolk
it\data\Factory_Images\cm-12.1-YOG4PAS1N0-bacon-signed-fastboot\system.img'
Stop using a toolkit, they're nothing but trouble as you can see. Go to my guide thread here and follow the instructions in section 8 to flash the stock images.
My boot loader is unlocked and am rooted with the stock recovery. My model is XT1550 (dual sim variant in India). I received the OTA updates today.. I downloaded them and installed.. The installation looked like it went fine.. after the installation the phone restarted.. but it kind of went to a boot loop after that.. I can power off the phone pressing the power button for some time.. bu the phone powers off and restarts automatically... it does not progress beyond the few initial screens after which it just displays a blank display...
I am able to get into flashmode.. however, my pc does not recognize the device.. adb terminal shows no devices when I give "adb devices" command.. can someone help? Can I do a factory reset from the flashboot menu? what does the factory mode do? what else can be done to salvage the situation? Thanks.
Update: I went into the stock recovery and did a factory reset. It wiped the user data and did a factory reset. After this I tried rebooting the system. But again the same problem. The phone starts and after the first two -three screens of a boot animation it simply gives me a blank screen display. Really worried now.. Any help?

Hi, I have faced the same issue that you have faced. I will be resorting to flashing original STOCK ROM using the ADB commands.
There are other threads in this forum explaining the procedure.
Don't worry. If you follow the procedure correctly you will be able to reinstall the system and use your phone again.
After flashing STOCK ROM and before installing OTA update, please ensure that your phone has stock recovery and is not rooted. Other wise you will face similar issue.
To go to fastboot mode from the blank screen mode you may follow the steps below:
1. Keep the power key pressed for a few seconds till you can see that the screen has gone completely black (otherwise you will see the screen dimly lit)
2. Immediately after this step press the volume down button first followed by power button and hold for a second or two and release the buttons, you would be in the fastboot mode
3. You can connect your phone to the PC in this mode to flash the STOCK ROM using the flash boot commands
4. You will find the STOCK ROM in the following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639
5. For installation procedure and fastboot commands refer this link:

Hope this helps

Thanks a lot. I can get into fastbot mod. However, when I type adb devices from the command prompt it doesnt list any devices. Will I be able to flash anything in such a situation? I already have the stock firmware extracted to my adb folder.
Update: I have flashed the stock firmware successfully. The device is back up and running now.. thanks a lot..

Can you please let us know what you did to over come the problem of your device not being able to be recognized by ADB fastboot?
Also which STOCK firmware did you use (there are two in the link)?
Could you download and update via the OTA?
Your reply would help others. Thanks

Well, after getting into fastboot when I use the command "adb devices" it did not show anything under the list of devices. However, when I started giving the commands for flashing the stock firmware it was accepting the adb commands. I followed the commands here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750
and I used the stock firmware XT1550_OSPREY_RETASIA-INDIA_DS_2GB_5.1.1_LPI23.72-47_cid7 for this purpose downloaded from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639 things were alright. But I need to say that the first command "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" did fail in fastboot. But I went ahead and gave all the subsequent commands all of which were successful and in the end I was able to restart with the new factory image.
However, all my data lost, root lost, and my boot loader is still in unlocked status.
About OTAs, I don't know. I went to the system updates to see if there is an OTA.. it says my software is up to date.
Thanks
That was a fast reply. Thanks for elaborating.
Don't know what the consequences of not being able to flash the gpt.bin are...
I will post update after flashing stock rom after reaching home. Stuck in office still...
Hello,
A little info about adb/fastboot :
adb works only after boot.
fastboot works in fastboot mode.
When you boot to fastboot mode and try commands such as "adb devices" you won't see any output or may get an error as the device is connected in fastboot mode.
So using "fastboot devices" will return all device ids connected in fastboot mode.
Hope this helps other new users.

This is the message I get after gpt.bin flashing.

Below is a response I saw in reddit on this error. Looks like it should be fine.
That normally happens when you try to downgrade. GPT.bin and motoboot should fail to flash if you're trying to downgrade; prevent a hardbrick. As long as all the other commands are flashing successfully you'll be fine.

Flashed Stock rom. up and about
I flashed the stock 23.72.47 version using fastboot commands.
The flashing of gpt.bin failed but all the other commands were successful.
I had unlocked my bootloader previously which is still showing as unlocked.
Yes, I made a mistake of using adb commands in fastboot. In bootloader we got to use fastboot commands and adb does not work.
I respect this forum for these exact reasons that things are no nonsense here and this is the place for really knowledgeable people.
Thanks for bearing noobs like me.
Lastly my beloved moto g3 is up and about and doing fine.
Oh BTW I too checked for updates and found that the the stock rom 23.72.47 seems to be the updated version with the Ota incorporated. Earlier I was on the 23.72.33 rom.
Thank you members.

so far i have learned that before applying official ota one must have bootloader relock and everything official like recovery etc etc and may be no root (do not remember no root thing well)
i may be wrong but sharing is caring right?

It doesn't need bootloader relocked but you need stock rom(no Mods or root) and stock recovery to do ota

If you reflashed stock firmware then you will have stock recovery and not twrp to find out reboot into your bootloader then use arrow keys until get to option saying recovery then select if its stock it will look abit like cwm but call android 3e recovery or something close to that if not it will boot into twrp
