I have a Moto G 2013 (XT1033). The device does not boot successfully - only shows the logo and then just shows a blank screen. So I tried to install Cyanogenmod hoping it might work out. I have unlocked the bootloader.
I tried installing TWRP recovery image (3.0.2.0) from TWRP official site using the command
Code:
$ fastboot erase recovery
erasing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Erase allowed in unlocked state
OKAY [ 0.046s]
finished. total time: 0.046s
$
$ fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-falcon.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (9488 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.331s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.175s]
finished. total time: 0.507s
And the device shows the following text:
Code:
cmd: getvar:partition-type:recovery
cmd: erase:recovery
cmd: getvar:partition-type:recovery
cmd: getvar:max-download-size
cmd: download:00944000
cmd: flash:recovery
Mismatched partition size (recovery)
When I boot into the recovery, it displays a Unlocked bootloader warning, then a blank screen for 2-3 seconds and then an image of resting android bot with a red exclamation over its belly, with "No command" caption. No TWRP Recovery Screen.
Then I pressed Vol UP + Power button for 2-3 seconds and that displayed the Android system recovery screen. Now I selected "apply update from ADB". Then I tried the following command:
adb sideload cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K9-falcon.zip
I get the following error in the Android System Recovery screen:
Code:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
The Cyanogenmod zip file is not corrupted since the SHA1 hash is the same as the one provided in Cyanogenmod downloads page. Please help me to install Cyanogenmod on Moto G (XT1033).
Thanks in Advance
Maybe try a different twrp there is one available on XDA (moto g android development) try that
Using command fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.zip

Hello, on March 10th I received a new update on my N5. After update, which finished with no problems as usual, my phone was normally working or about two more hours. In that time no new apps were installed. Then it just shut down, and can't be properly turned on.
It always stuck at Google logo and that is all that it does. I'm able to get to the fastboot mode by holding Power+Volume Up+Volume Down buttons, but I can't get into Recovery Mode option to hard reset it. Nothing show up after selecting that option and Power+Volume Up does nothing. Ok, bad luck, time to flash it nice and clean.
Haha, nice try.
I'm not sure if I had USB debugging on or off, but I think off. Obtained ROM from Google + newest platform tools from SDK and followed all possible manual I could get from Internets, results:
Code:
adb devices
List of devices attached
*nothing*
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
error: no devices found
Drivers are newest from Google, reinstalled several times, device is visible in Windows as Android Bootloader Interface and seem working fine. adb just do not see phone.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
...
OKAY [ 46.402s]
finished. total time: 46.403s - WORKS!
But rest is just no go:

fastboot erase boot

I tried several more commands, like to install twrp, but all with same results.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
sending 'recovery' (14314 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.653s] writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: flash write failure)
finished. total time: 0.835s
I also tried "fastboot boot twrp.img" and it worked but didn't helped much. Internal storage is showing size 0 MB an when I try to do anything it ends with wall of red text about how it's unable to find partitions or mount images, first line:
Code:
E:Primary block device '/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata' for mount point '/data' is not present!
Also when I reboot bootloader, it get stuck and when I get it back with buttons, it is back in its locked state. So my guess is that eMMC went to Silicon Heaven.
Do you guys have any advices? Or is my phone just fancy mirror now?
When the phone is in fastboot mode, does the bootloader state remain "unlocked" after a reboot?
If the bootloader is unlocked, have you tried relfashing a stock ROM?

Like i wrote, it get back to locked state.
The emmc chip is defective and cannot be fixed. This is clearly indicated when the bootloader relocks itself at reboot.
Thought so, but wanted confirmation . Thank you.
My Archos Helium 70b is totaly bricked:
Hi all,
I got a bricked phone with following symptoms:
Normal boot stays in an endless bootloop.
Starting up from recovery does the same.
3th option is fastboot: If I want to fastboot from a previously downloaded image with 'fastboot boot boot.img' command I got this:
Code:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.674s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)

Any option to unbrick the phone left?
Thx

Hi!
I wiped data and system too and since then i the phone stops at the Sony logo and cannot even turn it off only with vol up+power button . I cannot enter TWRP or Recovery or flashmode anything else. When i connect to pc with flashtool while holding vol up it enters to fastboot but when i try to flash a kernel it gives "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" error.
I hope somebody can help me!
UPDATE:
Now it says when trying to flash kernel:

Hi, I'm new to Moto G forum but have followed TF300T forum to flash my Asus TF300 successfully with custom roms.
I am having problem flashing twrp, when I flash TWRP twrp-3.0.2-2-falcon.img or twrp-3.1.1-0-falcon.img flashing reports

Seems ok I thought, but when I try to reboot into recovery all I get is a dead android with message No command.
Phone is Moto G 1032 running stock 5.1 Android. It does still boot into system.
Unlocking bootloader seemed to be incomplete,
I tried to unlock my Moto G using the standard way suggested on Motorola site, by passing the command - fastboot oem unlock <unlock code> to fastboot screen via command prompt. Got the below messages on command prompt.
(bootloader) Failed to erase partition
(bootloader) General Unlock failure!
(bootloader) OEM unlock failure!
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 10.225s
After that, screen on phone showed the message - UNLOCK...
& got stuck on that. I switched off & started again in Fastboot mode. On the screen it said - Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3
However anther user had same problem but was able to flash TWRP successfully.
Thanks in advance
SOLVED
Used Moto G 2014 ToolKit, Tool/Utility for the Moto G 2014 by luca020400 and this worked.
Not sure what I did wrong but many thanks to luca020400
My Xperia L is soft bricked and its bootloader is unlocked, so Sony PC Companion can't help. I tried Emma ( flashtool for Xperia) too. But it says "No available services matched the connected device." Service log: "Please refer to update session e0251daa-c222-413f-8f3c-5c77b4d9064b if you need to contact Emma support."
The command "adb devices" shows nothing, but "fastboot devices" is recognising my device when connected in fastboot mode. So, following this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/help/soft-bricked-device-unlock-help-t3240972, I tried to install cwm recovery, using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.IMG". It shows:
Code:
sending 'boot' (6968 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.233s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 0.474s]
finished. total time: 0.707s
But nothing seems to install on my phone, as when I try to boot into recovery, the phone just tries to boot up and gets stuck in bootloop.
And if I try "fastboot flash recovery boot.IMG" then I get the following:
Code:
sending 'recovery' (6968 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.242s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.244s
How can I fix my phone? Please help! Any help is appreciated! Thanks!!

Or simply use the below method:
Test again with downloading latest TWRP img and flashing it in fastboot mode using command: fastboot flash boot twrp.img
Then power on your phone and immediately press volume up.
It will directly boot to recovery. Screen may fliker, but no problem, just wipe everything and flash your ROM zip file.
