Stuck in Fastboot

Okay so I tried to flash cyanogenmod 11 for the first time on this moto G (US). It bootlooped and I tired to reflash it again and it did the same. There was no way of returning to stock because I had not made a backup. So I tried to flash stock in the bootloader and that didn't work. I went into the recovery and it said 'cant mount /sdcard. So go back into the bootloader and format the sdcard and that doesn't work (which I returned to the recovery to see it not working). I go back and flash twrp thinking that recovery would have something to help me flash a new rom and now I don't even have a working recovery. It takes me straight back to the bootloader and every time I flash a recovery it says Mismatched partition size (recovery) and I am unable to boot into it.
I have no clue on what to do at this point and I need help.

also it says invalid "boot image header!" in red letters

Alright thankyou!
I got everything to work again but I still can't flash roms. They just bootloop :S

It could be too big recovery install with fastboot causes problem, every recovery cwm/twrp i tried to install with fastboot fails.

Twrp_MotoG_signed_010814_163615.zip
Download vocoderisms TWRP build, extract "recovery.img" from it.
After you have kitkat installed and working:
Option 1, use TWRP without install:
Boot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader), boot twrp (fastboot boot recovery.img) and install rom from there.
Option 2, install TWRP (have not tested):
Upload twrp zip to phone (adb push Twrp_MotoG_signed_010814_163615.zip /sdcard/), boot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader), boot twrp (fastboot boot recovery.img), install Twrp_MotoG_signed_010814_163615.zip.

You do know flashing stock again removes root, so it has to be rerooted again ?

Yes I am very aware and followed through with root with that outcome.

Can you boot into the recovery? Or fastboot? Also before trying to install a new ROM did you backup your previous?

Can't boot into recovery mode, maybe something went wrong while updating TWRP to 3.0.2 but can boot into fastboot.
also had backup of previous rom but since i can't boot into TWRP now so can't restore it. Earlier on TWRP 2.8.6 i was getting zip file execution error while restoring/installing new ROM.
So for now i have only access to fastboot mode, how to proceed futher?

You have 2 options you can flash the stock rom and recovery via fastboot here is a guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541 (Just skip step 4 don't relock the bootloader specially if you want to install TWRP) Make sure you download the correct file there is a 64gb and a 16gb listed in this guide or you can download the stock file straight from cynogen OS here https://cyngn.com/support
Or you can reinstall TWRP via fastboot by downloading TWRP here https://dl.twrp.me/bacon/ and install your backup if its still there. If its not there you can either download and install any custom rom you want or if you want the stock rom go with option 1 above and then re-install twrp. (Always remeber after installing TWRP don't fully boot into the system or you will loose TWRP, boot straight to recovery once its done flashing TWRP by holding the power button and volume down. )

System not booting after flashing tuga twrp from twrp

Deal All,
I was using twrp 3 and flashed tuga twrp via existing twrp itself. Upon flashing i selected recovery and did not select boot. Now when i try to reboot to recovery i get stuck in oneplus logo. I tried flashing both recoveries via fastboot. but still i am unable to boot into recovery. Please advise

Not familiar with tuga twrp. But you could always try going back to 100% stock and starting over.

Can't install Custom Roms.

Alright, so its without wasting time of people here, I'd just state the summary in points.
I flashed stock rom a.17 - I had custom roms before, I got fed up with them changing every 2 months.
Then everything worked fine until I flashed the boot.img from vishal_android_freak to get recovery.
I got the twrp recovery 2.7.0.0.
I flashed AOSP 6.0.1 through it, it was done very well but the rom stuck on boot animation for more then 30 mins.
I pulled the battery out - now I had TWRP 2.8.4.0
I tried flashing the rom again, it gave /data error.
I flashed stock rom, rooted then tried other methods of getting recovery, I failed everytime (Tried from TWRP app, su dd command, Recovery installer app )
Then I found a CWM boot.img to flash through fastboot.
I did and got CWM.
I flashed AOSP again from it, it stuck on boot animation again.
Then again I flashed stock rom and repeated the process.
This time with CWM, I flashed Stryflex LP Ultimate
It also stuck on boot animations.
Any idea why this happens? How to fix this ****?
Summary: Only stock rom works, not any other rom.

I think​, that means bootloader is unlocked again! Recheck bootloader state and always use latest TWRP recovery (v3.0.2 for us).
You can download Xperia L recovery from twrp website and then use your current v2.8.4 one to install that. Or just simply use adb & fastboot in your PC and enter this command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot [I]your recovery image name.img[/I]
. And then flash your desired ROM

Alright, I check bootloader state, it says bootloader unlock done means it's unlocked.
I am going to flash twrp 3.0.2 and will update you soon!

Oh Man, you saved my day! nothing worked but the damnit twrp 3.0.2
For anyone else referring here:
I get hell lot of graphical glitches when I flashed twrp 3.0.2, I just made it to factory reset and click install button although my screen was glitched and I cant even look at it.
JUST IGNORE THE GLITCHES! I wiped dalvik cache after flashing AOSP-RRO, now I'm flashing Lineage OS, thanks a lot! Button pressed.

Did TWRP 3.0.2 ultimately work with this?
If worked, I am also curious to know how much space is left there for apps in device memory, since the ROM seems to be Marshmallow based.

Question Issue with recovery

When I boot to recovery I remain stuck on Boot logo of OrangeFox, reboot back to system from TWRP and boot normally from stock recovery image... Any solution to this problem of mine?

Orangefox R11.1 works fine for me... it took a bit longer to boot with the boot screen, but then works like a charm... Did you flash OF via fastboot?

I was using it just fine till noon but then I flashed another custom ROM using same recovery, but no sooner did I flash a custom ROM and was booting back to flash a custom Kernel, it was then simply stuck on Boot LOGO of OF and booted me back to system from TWRP... Stock is just as useless as Trump. So that's there

Presumably, this "Custom ROM" has a name, and a version number?
BTW: OrangeFox has its own thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/official-recovery-orangefox-recovery-project-r11-1.4362131/

You are more likely to receive help for your device on it's dedicated/specific forum, nevertheless are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?
