Hey guys so i was trying to root my Motorola Moto G 4G. I did the all bootloader unlocking thing, and it went well, but i am stuck with the rooting: i have tried superboot, but all it gives is the android welcome logo which becomes darker and darker until the phone eventually reboots, but when i turn it on nothing has changed. I tried other rooting apps, but my phone seems to ignore them. I have also tried a variety of custom recoveries (TWRP, Clockwork) but when i click on recovery on the the fastboot menu it says BOOT UP FAILED. If i then turn it off, enter the fastboot menu and click on the recovery button, it shows the warning logo from motorola you usually get when you turn it on, and then there is the Android laying down with "no command" written on it. What should i do?
Thank you!
Oh yeah, i have Android 5.1
I'm in the same situation as you. Got the bootloader unlocked and am able to install recovery but if I try to enter it I also get the Boot up failed message but before that I have a message saying Failed to load kernel!
Anyone knows what is going wrong?
I tried as the OP both recoveries and different versions of them always with the same result.
I found out what was wrong with my attempt to install TWRP on my phone. I was on the wrong section of it so was trying to install the wrong version of the recovery app. I found the correct TWRP here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/help/qa-twrp-moto-g-2015-t3170957

I did a factory reload of a rooted phone with CWM.
Now for the CWM issue the Moto G loaded OK and then said there was an update for android to fix some bugs. This was 4.4.3. I loaded it and it gets half way and it then says
"Signature verification fail"
at the bottom of the screen and
" Install Untrusted Package"
The options are yes, no or go back
at the top....
whichever one I try it then tries to boot shows the Android / Motorola screen and starts up gets a txt message for 2-3 seconds... it then goes back to Android CWM recovery with the same options as above and repeats the process. again and again and again. No function keys will stop this cycle which just repeats again. This continues until the battery dies.
any ideas ? how can I override this action in CWM v6.0.4.6 and force it to do a factory reload ? any help or advice much appreciated.
The following thread had a similar problem and was fixed... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53404637

"If you can still power your phone, can you still access the boot loader? If so, I would suggest using adb from a computer to flash Phillz recovery. CWM always gave me a lot of random errors when flashing items. You could use PhillZ to flash the stock ROM for 4.4.2. After that, just follow the same process I did. Download the update zip via the OTA download when it prompts you. Once it's finished, DON'T boot back into Android. Boot into Phillz recovery from the boot loader, move the zip out of the cache and onto sdcard or your computer, and then flash it either straight from the phone or by sideloading it from your computer. Then you'll have a working version of vanilla 4.4.3, and you can flash over a custom ROM in the future if you so choose."
unfortunately I can't get into bootloader. I can connect usb and it makes no difference. therefore adb commands dont work. it just goes straight into screen described with those three options. I'm hoping that there is an override action in CWM which isn't power and volume down which do nothing.
If not how can I force it into bootloader instead please ? any suggestions appreciated.
Hi, I'm new to XDA. Sorry if I did something wrong already. But I have a problem, I tried installing a new boot animation to my moto e 1st gen (bootloader was unlocked, it was rooted too). Now whenever I turn the phone on, The WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED image shows up, but there is no boot animation. I cannot access anything, I can only go into recovery mode and CWM. I have tried factory reset using Recovery Mode (No success, just does WARNING boot loop again ) I have also tried factory reseting through CWM, till no success. I am giving up, I just recently bought this phone. NAY help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Can you tell us what firmware was your phone running? Also what recovery do you have on your phone?
If stock, you may try flashing stock firmware via fastboot.

Thanks for responding so quickly! But I fixed the problem a few minutes after posting this . But there is a new problem, I downgraded from Android 5.0.2 to Android 4.4.2. After doing this the phone worked perfectly. Then a few minutes later it installed a system update for 4.4.4 and now the phone is hard bricked. I can't access recovery mode, CWM, or even turn the phone on now. Before charging the phone, if I held the power button for a long time, the LED lit up and turned back off. Now there is no response from the phone at all no matter what I do.
Also, I had ClockWorkMod and stock recovery on my phone (Is stock recovery the one that shows up when you hold power+volume down? If so I had both CWM and stock) But now I can't access either recovery modes. If it at least went into stock recovery, I'd flash stock firmware, root it, install CWM, and flash a Lollipop zip. (I like Lollipop, I don't know why there are so many people that hate Lollipop )
Any help would be much appreciated. All i need now is a way to flash files without going into recovery mode on phone.
Hello,
I apologise for any mistakes as this is my first time posting here.
I recently changed the screen on my brothers OnePlus One. The installation went really smoothly and the phone displayed on startup.:good:
But for some reason now when ever it it starts up you get a 1+ logo and then it has the android man with the red triangle. It then puts you into recovery . My brother has never tried custom roms on his opo, so he has the stock recovery. I try to install some zips using the ADB sideload method but it gets about 80% done and then says that the signature verification failed even on roms downloaded from the official site. I think the phone would work if I could get TWRP installed and install the rom through there, but I can't get into fastboot mode. My brother has never been in fastboot so I don't know if you had to enable it in the OS first or something like that. If I press reboot bootloader in advance settings in the recovery it just restarts the phone back into recovery. I am not sure whether to try some type of brick fix method however it isn't hard bricked because it turns on and in soft bricked you have to use fastboot for every method that I've seen.
Any help would be brilliant.
Thanks!
I had this droid razr maxx hd a long time ago. I used to be pretty savvy with rooting and whatnot. At one point i rooted the phone enabled native tether and even unlocked the bootloader. however I never flashed a custom recovery. suddenly one day the phone started boot looping. I simply switched phones. now my new phone is broken and i need to get this boot loop fixed. trying to do a recovery simply ends up with it trying to boot again and loop. sometimes it shows the robot with "no command" under it. so thats not possible.
when i select ap fastboot i get device is unlocked status code 3.
So i should be able to flash something to it and get out of this bootloop right? can someone point me to a noob friendly tutorial to try and fix this?
if any more info is needed let me know
Thanks!

Did You have TWRP flashed as recovery or you running stock and were you running custom or stock rom.

I would say stock because i never flashed a custom recovery or anything. just root and unlock bootloader. and enable native wifi teather. but the restore doesnt work it just gives me the robot with "no command"

Just download the drivers for this device and install them. Then download and install rsd lite and install that. Then download the the stock firmware make sure it is the right one and flash it with rsd lite after that you will have to reroot the device. If you don't know what version of firmware you had just post a pic of your device while in ap fastboot bootloader and I can let you know.

If you had a custom recovery that you could mount while in recovery. Have you tried adb.
Ok, let me explain the situation, i'll try to cover up everything i've done, So, please read my whole post first.
The situation of the device is it able to go through bootloader and recovery, it load the animation and logo, but after it the screen is blank (i can see the "android is upgrading", strange it just only 2 apps then nothing)
no sign of life in the blank state, i've tried to press the power up quite times, no sound. Blank state = slightly bright black.
First, i tried to "factory" within the bootloader. it failed, result is blank screen.
Second, i tried the wipe data/factory reset in the recovery, it throws errors.
Third, i tried to flash TWRP. The procedure is finished successfully (complete), but when i tried to boot to the recovery it enter the stock recovery.
Fourth, i tried [5.0.2][Restore to Stock][XT1033] Asia Retail [Dual Sim][4.4.2/4.4.2][LockBootloader] method, i tried the manual one to make sure everything is done supposedly. The only thing that failed is when i tried the last step, mfastboot.exe oem lock. Still then I reboot the phone, blank screen.
Fifth, i tried [HOW TO] Unbrick Moto G 2013! [Falcon, Peregrine] [Lollipop guide], but i'm stuck at step 7 where my phone only detected as "Android Android USB Device"
Another info that might needed is my bootloader is unlocked.
i've also tried the latest KK rom and L rom, and tried flashing under win7 and win10. Both result in blank screen.
Any idea before i jump intio a dead emmc conclusion?
Not sure it'll help, but maybe try updating to the latest adb/fastboot. Mfastboot isn't really necessary anymore, latest fastboot should be ok for heavy loads
just boot into recovery using following cmd
fastboot boot (ur recovery name)
without brackets it will boot ur device in recovery then wipe and install the custom ROMs.
