I unlocked mine to get this working so I don't think you have much choice. But I'm glad I did it: Marshmallow was a mess on my G3.

Moto g stuck in bootloop! Tried flashing etc!

I have tried everything possible! The phone just keeps rebooting, it will show the warning bootloader unlocked display and then goes to a lighted black screen and repeats. I managed to relock my phone but it did not help fixing the problem. I have also tried different cables because I heard it might be the cable.
I found the firmware that gives me no error which is my service provider stock firmware:
Code:
TELUS-CA_FALCON_KXB20.9-1.10-1.39_cid14_CFC_1FF.xml
When I run the flashing processor it all works fine but when I go to the phone to choose recovery it will just reboot and not go into recovery same with factory.

Don't flash the bootloader & partition tables(motoboot.img & gpt.bin). Try flashing the rest. Just edit the .bat file & remove these two lines:
1.) fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
2.) fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
Or better you can run the commands individually(excluding motoboot.img & gpt.bin) to see the output at each step

Moto G Boot up failed Recovery

Good day everyone, I got a moto g bricked I assume because whenever y restart it when it gets past the moto logo yt just stays in a black screen, tried to use recovery but whenever y do it says boot up failed. Read somewhere that this can only be used when the phone is unlocked, tried to do it following moto's homepage instructions but after I use the key they provide me it doesnt unlock it, on fastboot it keeps saying its locked eventhough on the terminal it says succesfully unlocked.
Was thinking to flash a stock rom but I dont know wich model this moto g is and what android version it was, any suggestions are appreciated, really new with dealing with moto so I dont even know if theres a flashing tool for this tried searching for it and didnt find it.
Thanks a lot, regards.
Edit: I just found how to flash images , used a us stock rom and when Im trying to use fastboot it gives me several errors

Im out of ideas. Would like to take a hammer and just smash it. Please someone help me. And I cant turn on the developer mode. take a look on the error which I get, over and over and over again.

Thank you for your Info. never thought that it would be so quick here. So yesterday I downloaded android 6, did the flashing again. and it works fine now.
So for all the other Motorola Moto G 3rd generations users.
When you root the phone in Android 5, and you update it with official OTA Android 6, don't root the phone again with some App like KingRoot, as the phone OS might be bricked. Also to flash the Motorola, in that status which I got. You don't need the boot loader unlocking code from Motorola, eather you don't need to activate developer mode. Just download Android 6, and flash it. FASTBOOT DEVICES - code to be sure your phone is recognize it by your PC.
Thanks again to the XDA people and (therealduff1) which help me very quick

[HELP] Relock Moto G 2015 (XT1540 2GB) Bootloader

Hi there, i unlocked the bootloader of my Moto G 2015 XT1540 to play with it and install custom ROMs, but now i want to relock it because i want to gift it to my mother.
I've tried several tutorials about it but it fails. (I used XT1540_OSPREY_RETUS_2GB_6.0_MPI24.65-25.1_cid9 firmware from the index on XDA).
Code:
C:\Users\victo\Downloads\adb-fastboot-latest_win_linux>fastboot oem lock begin

The build you're flashing is older than the one that's installed on the phone. That's why you are getting the 'preflash validation failure' message.
Also, I don't see the need to lock the bootloader even if you are giving it to someone else. Just flash the stock firmware. Skip the bootloader and gpt files, flash everything else.
Actually, you are doing this completely wrong... You don't mix oem commands (lock begin and fb_mode_set are exclusive of each other, at least I have never seen a guide that uses them together, so it's deduction), but that isn't your core problem... @adityak1303 hit on that, you are getting "preflash validation errors" which generally means the pieces you are flashing are older than is what is installed. Very common actually since we do not have the latest factory images currently. The kicker here is although you can likely get it functional again, you can't lock the bootloader without being able to flash each piece of a complete ROM image, which you can't do without having a newer image, meaning ALL pieces, you must flash gpt.bin and bootloader, and every piece to relock.
Why the urge to relock? You know it will never go back to the way it was, you will still have to use the modified logo.bin to cover the unlock warning page (that never goes away) and the bootloader and getvar will always show it has been unlocked... There is no point except pure security to relock the bootloader, but you will still know it was once unlocked.
Thanks for your help, I flashed stock ROM (without gpt.bin and bootloader.bin), custom logo.bin and yep it works also I got the January OTA.
