Flashing Official 5.0 Image - Waiting For Device

I am trying to flash the 5.0 official image to my N5 and it is now stuck on "waiting for device". See attached image.
I was able to see my device in adb, i booted to fastboot mode and adb fastboot listed my device. It sent/wrote the bootloader to the phone, but now is just waiting.
Can i safely kill the flash process and start again? I am a little worried that it is just stuck.

Moto G Bootloader Loop

Hello gang.
I appears this dyslexic numpty has creamed his phone somehow - It's in Soft Brick mode and isn't playing with me any more.
It's a 1st Gen Tesco 8GB, I updated it to GPE and lollipop. But I couldn't get a new sim card working so I flashed Cygo CustomRom with it and now I'm stuck in a bootloop.
I honestly don't know where to start or where to begin, i've followed some tutorials to no avail and I'm wondering if someone would be so kind as to help a fool out. I've tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 - But I get errors.
Any help would be appreciated.

What errors do you get ? Try relfash the GPe firmware to your device. If you flash the Moto firmware your phone will be bricked from what I know if you have the GPe firmware.

Keep on getting Mismatched Partition Size.
Then when I finish and reboot it just stays on the bootloader unlocked screen.

Try this:
http://android.clients.google.com/p...incremental-KTU84P.M003_18-LRX21Z.M002_15.zip
Download it and then sideload it with ADB to recovery.
Make sure you have the fastboot drivers installed and adb installed and then write the folowing command
adb sideload
after "sideload" you type the location of the zip file and enter !

[HELP] Black Screen Even after Restoring to stock firmware & Cannot relock Bootloader

[HELP] Black Screen Even after Restoring to stock firmware & Cannot relock Bootloader
My phone - Moto G XT1033 Asia Dual Sim
I updated my phone to 5.0.2 official via OTA.. And then unlocked by bootloader...
Everything was working fine, after few days, phone suddenly stopped working.
I restarted my phone and after that, every time after moto boot animation, it always gets stuck at a black screen, showing nothing
I tried all the tutorial of Reverting back to stock firmware.. I tried flashing following files via both fastboot and mfastboot... Everything gets flashed successfully without any error.
First I tried 5.1. file named - XT1033_FALCON_ASIA_DS_5.1_LPB23.13-56_cid7_CFC.xml
Then 5.0.2, ASIARETAIL_XT1033_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28_cid7_CFC.xml
Then 4.4, ASIA-DS_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_34_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml
Still same problem persists.. Phone does not starts after moto boot animation and stucks at a black screen..
I tried to downgrade to 4.3, tried to flash this file fastboot_falcon_asia_ds_user_4.3_14.10.0Q3.X-84-7-LCG-4_4_release-keys-cid7-AsiaRetail_03.tar, but it always show prevalidation of firmware failed.
Screenshots of my bootloader and the blackscreen have been included....
Also I tried relocking my bootloader several times.. But after flashing a stock firmware, there comes a screen where is it written locked and when I reboot to the bootloader, it still shows unlocked..
This is how my bootloader looks right now http://postimg.org/image/4w8zrwgrp/
Bootloader Unlocked Warning http://postimg.org/image/o76nd4qux/
Moto boot animation works perfectly http://postimg.org/image/m3w85gr21/

Not getting an answer is usually a sign that you didn't provide enough information. Most people who could probably help you will ignore your question if it's incomplete.

USB debugging affects only Android and is not required for flashing custom recoveries.

Finally. Somebody replied.. Thanks a lot..
I will just upload the console output and other things in detail tomorow morning..

Sorry, I don't know how to fix your black screen issue. However I've seen others reporting a similar problem (but didn't read the threads). And I've read that downgrading your bootloader can brick your device. You also said that flashing the ROMs worked without errors, but you didn't provide a log of your fastboot commands and the output that you got.

My phone is not bricked... Output of fastboot commmands in Command prompt have been already included in the post.. I have included the screenshots..

flash custom recoery and rom

if you by any chance downgraded the bootloader (fastboot flash motobot......) in your previous flash attempts there is a chance you have hard bricked your device.
and there is no point locking/unlocking bootloader (fastboot oem unlock/lock) once its unlocked. the only reason you are able to flash stuff you have is because the bootloader is unlocked. and i'm not sure how well you can lock a bootloader thats unlocked.
incase you have hard bricked your device refer; https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-unbrick-moto-g-falcon-t3394788

Moto G3 boots into recovery every time I power on device

I have unlocked my bootloader. Every time I power on my Motorola Moto G3, it boots into the recovery screen. It isn't really a problem, it's more of an annoyance. I have to use the power / volume buttons to choose start and then it boots into the OS fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Do I need to type in fastboot oem fb_mode_clear while re flashing stock firmware again like I would to relock the bootloader?

Actually it's not an issue, the command
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
makes the phone boot into bootloader mode instead of starting android. To undo this, you'll just have to type in-
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
. No need to flash the whole firmware again if this is the only problem.

Where do I type this command in? Using ABD and fastboot? Do I just go into the bootloader and plug my phone into my PC, then open up ABD and fastboot and type in that command or what do I do? Is that the only command I need to type in? Sorry, I'm a noob to this kinda stuff!

Reboot the phone into bootloader mode. To do this, power off the phone, press and hold power+volume down button till it shows up.
Plug the phone into PC, open command prompt from the folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are present, and type that command (only that one is needed). Disconnect the phone and try rebooting to see if it boots correctly.

If that was the case, you could never boot the phone into Android... the OP stated that he can select continue and start the device normally. It is most likely stuck in fastboot fb_mode like @Gravemind2015 stated.

Excuse any possible miss posting of My question.
Moto G 3 factory rom and rooted
Problem: Motorola security update action causes Moto to keep booting into twrp recovery loop.
Have tried to break the looping, but there is something I am missing or not doing correctly any help thanks.....

Now this sounds like you flashed TWRP in your boot image... Reflash the stock boot image with fastboot

Shouldn't that make the phone stay at bootlogo as the kernel and ramdisk are overwritten by TWRP code? @Uncle Waldo stated that the phone is looping into TWRP after *moto update action*. So what I am able to figure out is that this is a OTA-on-stock-rom-with-custom-recovery situation. I am a litte doubtful though as google says the phone boots into kernel from recovery (which is evident here) instead of kernel from boot partiton (source), so you may be 100% correct here too
@Uncle Waldo : If that is indeed the case (i.e moto issued an update and since rebooting the phone it's just looping into TWRP and giving an error) then I'd recommend that-
Flash stock boot.img as @acejavelin suggested
Flash stock recovery.img (as TWRP can't nstall stock ROM updates)
This is assuming that the /system partition was never modified in any way. If the update still fails in stock revovery, I'd guess that the whole system has to be restored to a non-modified state (i.e flashing the full firmware). You can try flashing all without doing the 'fastboot erase' part though, but i'd recommend you to backup your files using TWRP when you can.

command to install recovery -
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
command to flash boot.img-
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

If it is because of an update, you can't accept it while on TWRP... If you did, try to access the TWRP menu and if you can't boot TWRP from.fadtboot (not flash) and wipe caches... It should boot normally after that.

ACE; moto has been operating for sometime now fine

You believe this could be my problem as the moto boots just fine and it's only started this problem when I installed the following update.
Motorola > android security updates version 24.211.14.en.US
After this install and reboot it appears to work just fine and then shortly reboots into TWRP from here the only correcting action that stops the reboot loop is "RESTORE".
After restoring and reboot the moto is back to operating as before and at some point I get the same message to install the security updates and the dance begins anew.
If reflashing the stock boot image via fastboot could correct my problem > then I am all ears Ace, as it's been sometime since I ventured into android ville and any help in this matter thanks...

You edited the original question after I replied... Read my follow-up answer. You can't take an OTA with TWRP installed, just start TWRP and wipe caches and then don't accept any further OTA.

Your correct I missed that one, a BC moment (before coffee) sorry.
Okay in the fog of my memory I do now remember the OTA prohibition as I said it's been a piece of time.
I've done as instructed and all is well again, but will this nag screen appear again as it has done.
Question > How do I shut the motorolia OTA update off, so I don't get their stupid never ending nag screen everytime that I look at phone?

The problem is the command.
The command to flash recovery is
fastboot flash recovery path-to-recovery.img.
Write fastboot flash recovery and then drag and drop recovery.img and the path will come itself.

Thanks for the help! But it didn't work! As I am unable to do anything on my phone! But, I tried flashing custom ROM through SP Flash tool but that too of no use as it doesn't flast at all! The process doesn't start and the problem remains the same! It's the same error (attached in my previous post) which it shows and that too for a second only and then automatically restarts! I mean it's entering TWRP but then shows that error and restarts! I can't do anything else!
Any other solution pls.?
