I tried a cm12.1 rom which used to get flashed perfectly without any issues earlier. Then i encountered some problems with the ROM and i decided to flash the stock international kitkat rom(yes, i followed the correct procedure from the guide by @codelover). I didn't unlock the bootloader nor root it nor flashed a custom recovery.
For the past few day's i've been trying to install the same cm 12.1 rom and some new cm12.1 roms(updated versions, here is the link:https://userscloud.com/go/kgu385awbw9z/) but without any luck. After flashing either of the roms, the phone boots up fine till the stage where it shows the static honor logo(non-animated one) but after that it just shows a black screen and just stays there.
If i reflash stock B115, B108-signed 4.2.2 roms and B320 kitkat rom, it happens perfectly. But if i flash any other roms (after unlocking the bootloader and flashing custom recovery by following the guide), the black screen problem pops up(which didn't used to happen earlier). AGAIN i have tried the older cm12.1 ROM whose zip file has been stored on the sd card since that day without any modifications, so there's no chance of the ROM being tampered with.
I have tried hard resetting it by deleting emmc partitions and then reflashing the stock roms, but still the problem pertains after flashing the custom roms.
Does anyone know where i might be going wrong or what the problem is?

Ok, this is weird, a while ago i didnt had any problems installing any kind of custom rom, used CWM while wiping everything... eveything was OK, ROM worked OK, etc... But one time i installed a ROM (Slimkat) and i lost signal, tried to use my recovery of stock android but it didnt work, so i tried a lot of things untill i got bootlop without being able to install anything since some files were missing, bad luck
After that, i just reflash stock 4.3 and upgrade from there 4.4.2, everything fine again... except that i cant install any kind of ROM, every ROM says "installation succesful" but everyone is stuck into bootloop.
While i havent tried ALL ROMS i have tried the same ones i was using (Nexus G+, LiquidSmooth and CM11), so i guess this problem is coming from my device.
On a side note, i tried to factory reset, but no luck... it shows the Android working but it inmediately turns the screen off, and then it shows it again and then off again... in an infinite loop
Same problem!
Bump.
I just got my Moto G yesterday (European XT1032), updated to 4.4.2, unlocked bootloader, rooted with superboot and flashed Philz Touch CWM.
Seems I have done everything by the book, wipes included, but no luck. I tried Slimkat, Paranoid and Codename Lungo (latest builds as of 3/12).

Hmmm... Pay attention to which version of Bootloader you are using.
You might want to try both 4.3 and 4.4 to see which one would work.
Extract the motoboot.img from the stock .zip image for your phone, then flash with mflashboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
Good luck!

Thanks. I'll give that a try. Is there a way to check bootloader version on the phone? If that doesn't work out I'll start from scratch and report back in this thread..

Hmmm.. I see there is a version number on mine, 41.05 dated 2013-12-06, but I'm not sure if that's the version or not.
And yeah... if changing the bootloader doesn't help, you probably would have to restore from the stock image and start over..
Got root and custom roms working after I 1.) downgraded to 4.3 and 2.) flash TWRP (instead of CWM).
So I'm not sure what the problem was. Besides the two main rooting methods (superboot and custom recovery), there are some other methods described on the forum specifically for people who already did a international variant OTA to 4.4.2. and one that is absolete (here) but apparently works for some when the two main methods fail.
However I'm still not sure if this solved everything. I am not sure if I can flash Cyanogenmod (which is 4.4.2) over a 4.3 firmware. Maybe I need to manually flash a 4.4.2 radio or something... Gonna check that out next...
EDIT: No need to downgrade. Not sure how it works but two main root methods (superboot and custom recovery) didn't work for me. Somehow I got stuck in boot animation. Just installed TWRP instead of CWM after Kitkat firmware (EU Retail) and rooted (/installed Super Su) from there. Everything works fine now.
Hey guys, I've seen this issue before yet I've tried everything in a few threads now but have no idea what is happening,I have tried using search function yet no solution has fixed my problem.
Problem:
When installing custom ROMs the installation goes fine. I put the ROM on the sdcard, follow instructions for flashing e.g wipe data/cache etc and then flash GAPPS. However I get stuck on the boot logo of every ROM. I've tried both TWRP and CWM recoveries, both with no luck. Also tried not flashing GAPPS and just trying to flash the ROM to no avail.
Current state of phone:
The phone is currently running stock firmware via downloading factory image and flashing in boot-loader : stock boot, recovery, system image etc
The phone works fine when rooted on stock firmware. E.g no custom rom yet rooted.
Could really do with some help guys, any ideas?

same problem simple solution another user informed me of.
simply donwgrade to 4.3 JB stock rom through fastboot. Then you are able to flash a custm rom from the 4.3 stock rom.
Its crazy i have to do this but it worked for me, now im running the xperience rom which is a rom based on 4.4.2 kk.
the 4.3 android stock firmwares are linked somewhere in the FAQ's as well as the guide to ffastboot lash it.
peace.

Hey man, worked a charm thanks!
For users who may have the same problem:
After flashing 4.3 onto the device it did NOT boot.
- However I then went into the bootloader flashed custom recovery, I used cwm.
- Then I went into recovery, used adb to push the rom and gapps onto sdcard
- Full wipe and then installed rom. Then installed gapps
Working fine.
Cheers chairsz :good::good:
Hi all as title states my moto g is downloading the new 5.0 update but during install it says error and switches phone back on with no changes made. It was rooted and custom firmware was installed. Since then uts back to fully unrooted, stock recovery is reinstalled and bootloader is still unlocked. However still it errors a quarter into installing.
So i have come to the assumption that it is best for me to revert/ reinstall the stock 4.4.4 rom back on and try updating after that. However seen loads of complicated methods on how to reinstall the stock firmware onto my phone so want the easiest way if possible.
In attatchments is the info from the current stock rom that is on the phone (will state a custom rom has never been installed to the phone always been stock) and i have downloaded the following to put onto it:
XT1032_RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
Ive tried using the mototools v3.1 and does abserlitly nothing non of the commants work or do anything with my phone.
So which is the easiest method?
Many Thanks
major problems!!!!!
Stock recovery installed to phone. Started update it was installing and got to 3/4 of the way through, errored, restarted and not goes in a loop saying no command!
Phone will not switch on!!!
Why has this happened?
If fastboot is too convoluted - using a custom recovery, flash one of these zips:

What update were you installing when it errored?
Hello
I got my moto g for over 1 year, i bought it in UK. I use custom rom's for 6 months.
My phone start work slow so i decided to wipe all and reinstall rom. By mistake i wipe internal storage too, so i try to put rom in storage, but my computer dont see my device. I fix it by reinstall motorola drivers and update TWRP. Then I put BlissPop Rom+GApps(which work earlier), and i flash it. There i have new problem because blisspop run and stuck on booting OS(i waited over 1 hour). I thought the rom was bad so i download the lastest BlissPop Rom. It going the same way. Then I decided to return to stock rom(I did not do this ever). I download "AIO_XT1032_4.4.2-KXB20.9-1.10-1.9_CFC_1FF.xml" and try to flash it by using fastboot not mfastboot. Then it stuck on bootloader warning. So i wipe all and try to install Marshmallow rom+kernel+miniGApps. It stuck on bootloader warning too. Then i wipe all and try to instal ressurection remix Rom+GApps. This like BlissPop stuck on loadning OS. Then i change recovery to CM recovery and i try flash cm13, after wiping everything, this rom stuck on bootloader warning. What i have to do ? @edit when i say stuck on bootloader warning i mean it bootloop on this
Try install retail Lollipop with mflashboot. Should get phone to Stock condition.
ok i got retail system but there is another problem, my wifi and phone doesnt find sim card
So you managed to install stock rom? Are you sure it was for your exact phone model? And you mean your phone don't recognise your sim-card at all (doesn't ask for pin code) or it just doesn't get signal?
yeah i install stock rom for xt1032 by philztouch. Phone dont even ask for pin and i can't turn on the wifi that like it was blocked
I do it. i install 5.0.1 retail downgrade it to 4.4.4 then wifi and sim start working then i flash stock 4.4.4 and uprage it by motorola update service to 5.1, then i install custom rom and everthing work good
Glad you got it to work!
Hey, so i formatted the boot partition by accident today and could not boot anymore.
I was on a 5.1.1 Custom ROM before that. So i googled a bit and found a fix by flashing the Stock Firmware. Downloaded a 4.4.4 Stock Firmware here (RETAIL-DE) and flashed it using the commands here (as described in 3b). The second command failed with "Preflash validation failed". I believe thats because i had bootloader version 4.1.19 already and its not possible to flash an older one over that.
After that i could boot the phone again into the Stock Android 4.4.4. So i wanted to go back to an Lollipop or Marshmallow ROM. Using fastboot i flashed the latest TWRP Recovery and used it to flash a Custom ROM. I've tried several ROMs but every ROM results in an bootloop. Also tried using TWRP 2.6.0.0 and 2.7.0.0, but it didnt change sth.
I hope someone can help me solving this issue. Thanks.
You should probably full-flash the latest original Motorola firmware (GPE 5.1 or stock 5.0.2) before putting TWRP and custom roms based on Android L or M.
