[Help] Moto G 4G peregrine issues

Hello,
I have followed the tutorials to unlock the bootloader of my moto G 4G : the bootloader is unlocked and I have removed the message when starting the phone with this tutorial : forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/logo-remove-bootloader-unlocked-warning-t2794104
Anyway, I would like now to install a recovery CWM with this tutorial :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/recovery-unofficial-cwm-6-0-5-0-t2818161
But when I do so, I have the following message on the screen of my phone : "Mismatch partition size (recovery)"
And when I boot on the bootloader then select recovery but nothing appears, just a black screen.
The status code of my bootloader is : 3 and it says "Device is unlocked".
I can boot to CWM from the computer with : fastboot boot recovery.img
but when I type : fastboot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img I get this error.
Can someone help me please ?
Thank you in advance.

I got this problem when installing CWM too. I believed the problem is in this line:
fastboot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
instead, you could try this:
fastboot boot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img
When I did this, it worked. Give it a try. You could also try this little program, I changed CWM to TWRP with it.

Hello Hello,
Thank you for answering.
The command : fastboot boot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img doesn't work because there is too much arguments. It gives me that answer :
cannot load 'flash': No such file or directory
I retried the right command but still the same problem.
I also tried the small program given by this URL on linux : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/moto-g-4g-easyrecovery-toolkit-t2856710
My computer under Ubuntu fails to recognize the device. The device shown is empty.
I will try it on windows then come back here to tell you what happened.

I have the same issue with this program under linux or windows, it doesn't recognize my device. I have activated USB debug, tried under bootloader or with the phone normally started but nothing better.
only fastboot boot recovery.img works.

You have to flash the recovery with mfastboot from motorola when flashing partitions else you will get the size mismatched error.
Standard fastboot is only good for basic things such as getvar etc.
Always flash with mfastboot and it will not error out.
So the command will then be mfastboot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img which should then work without issues

Have you tried going back to a stock 4.4.4 if you have ota'd to 4.4.4 you need 4.4.4 stock image.

Hello, I have bought the phone less than one month ago.
It was directly on 4.4.4 after unpacking.
Have you tried renaming the CWM file? Maybe the "-" are a problem although I highly doubt it. Did you try re downloading the file? Running the command window as an administrator? Last resort, you could use TWRP, I'm running on this currently and haven't had any problems installing/flashing ROMs with it and imo prefer it over CWM.

I have tried both and they both have the same problem :/ CWM as well as TWRP...
Still no idea what happens.

same problem
I got the same problem using mac..
Impossible to install cwm or twrp also.. i cannot enter in the recovery mode any more
the boot loader is unlocked. I don't know whats going on

Is it normal when entering the bootloader to have the message :
"Device is UNLOCKED. Status code: 3 "
Is it the right status code ?
Thank you

Back to stock

Yes its normal if you have unlocked your bootloader
To get back to stock, download a stock Fw for your device model and region, you can find a link for one if you enter the moto g section of this site and head to moto 4g lte android development section (only section specifically for peregrine model) unpack the fw files into your fastboot directory (windows) reboot your phone to fastboot mode (where u saw the status code) then press control + shift + right click to launch a command prompt window here (from within fastboot directory in windows) then copy and paste these fastboot commands 1 by 1 pressing enter each time until compete.

So you mean, it is compulsory to have stock ROM in order to install the recovery ?
Because my problem is not to return to stock, it is to install a proper recovery (CWM or TWRP) in order to boot on it without my computer.
Thanks for your help

No but I think your problem is you have corrupt the recovery partition size maybe through bad flash or something so ur unable now to flash a recovery as the partition size is for different device or damaged and flashing cwm will no longer work as the cwm image is too big or too small for the allocation assigned to it as the devices core partition table has changed (can happen when u flash something for the falcon when you have a peregrine), I would flash back to stock via that method to restore to stock partition sizes and then reroot and flash cwm again after, just a guess from my own understanding.
Sent from my XT1039 using XDA Free mobile app

Guys I had the same trouble installing the recovery with the mismatched partition size message. This message is normal and the recovery is already installed on your device. The problem i had when selecting the recovery with the following black screen was that I used the Power Button instead of the up Button.
5) using volume down scroll to recovery and then use volume up to select

[Q&A] Moto G x1032 HARD BRICKED since 4.4.4 GPE to Lollipop

Hi all,
Since Sunday I try to solve the hard brick of my Moto G XT1032. I was on a rom GPE in 4.4.4 (EU) and by making the MAJ Lollipop during the sunday, the tel reboot on the logo Motorola and nothing more.
I tested severals tutos on XDA and many french websites, as:
Http: // forum.xda-developers.com / showthread.php? T=2633272
http: // forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/mo to-g-hard-brick-lollipop-t2998124
And a lot of the others...but nothing!
Well, I said myself it doesn't matter because mototool repair the tel with no problems, as usual. But not, many errors when I try of downgrade in 4.4.2 or in 4.4.4 with it. I tried to flash (cache/ system / data / Dalvik) with CWM and TWRP with one tens of versions all in all and impossible to make no anything to put back. I tried to install many rom's, always the same.
I have errors as " remote failure ", impossible of mount the partitions system/cache, hab check failed and more more more, i don't remember the other's errors...
I cannot copy files (like a rom) via ADB to the tel in mode bootloader and I don't know what to do anymore of the whole...
If you have an idea, I am interested because there I think that except the SAV ... i'am in bull***t. :silly:
Thanks to all of your help and good week!
(sorry for my poor english)

Try manually flashing a stock 4.4.4 ROM , not a 4.4.2 ROM, for your phone. You may not be able to flash motoboot if the bootloader on your phone is newer than the bootloader you are trying to flash.

I try but the problem it's adb, because it's impossible to synchronize my phone with it.
When i try "adb reboot-bootloader" in a shell, i have the error "device not found".
And it's impossible to continue the tutorial :
Code:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
What is the solution for this?

adb reboot bootloader works if your phone is booted and you have debugging enabled.
ADB commands don't work when the phone is in fastboot mode.
Put your phone into fastboot mode, connect it to your computer, type in "fastboot devices" and your's phone serial # should appear on screen.

OK. I have a phone serial who appear on screen (with the command "fastboot devices"), but with the command "adb devices", i have no serial, so no devices attached...

EDIT : Into TWRP Recovery, i have the adb serial too

ok, now it's good I the phone turn on a retail rom 4.4.4.
For all those who have experienced the problem (a GPE 4.4.2 update to 4.4.4 and 5.0.1), the procedure is "simple".
Install adb+fastboot and copy the rom into the folder.
Fisrt, put your phone into bootloader mode and check the command 'fastboot devices"; you must have a serial into the shell. Boot on the TWRP recovery (2.7.1.1) and type the command into the shell "adb devices"; again, you must have a serial. If it's OK, format cache/system/data/dalvik and reboot the phone into the bootloader.
In my case, i use the rom RETAIL-FR_4.4.4 OTA.
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
IF this does not work , it is still possible to achieve a different manipulation .
Take CWM recovery (Philz Touch for example) and try to push a rom with adb.
@+

You can't use adb commands when the phone is in fastboot mode. THis is why adb devices returns nothing.
Glad you got it working.

Stuck at Motorola Bootlogo after Security update

Device: XT1031 converted to XT1028 for use on Page Plus. Bootloader unlocked. Rooted with SuperSU 2.46 Running Stock Verizon 5.1 ROM 221.26.7.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.7.0
I accepted the new security update - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/moto-g-1st-gen-actually-security-update-t3362323
and when it tried to install the update, the phone just rebooted into TWRP Recovery.
So I flashed stock recovery from the Verizon 5.1 ROM and then tried the update again. This time it completed the update and rebooted but is now stuck at the Motorola bootlogo.
I'm able to reboot into fastboot.
I tried flashing system.img_sparsechunk.0, .1, .2, and .3, and rebooted but there is no change.
What can I try to get past this?
Before starting this I made a backup using TWRP Recovery, can I reinstall TWRP and restore that backup?

it would help to see a log of the flashing process. Copy and paste command prompt screen. Take screenshots if necessary.
Fastboot Tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
If the TWRP backup is still on phone, it might be worth transferring it to a PC / external OTG usb drive, as using the following fastboot command will erase it, along with everything else on internal storage:
fastboot command erase userdata​

The TWRP backup was saved to an external OTG USB drive, so that's safe.
I was originally going to do the same as I did for the last update - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63976723&postcount=109 but tried it first and when it went straight to recovery, I figured I needed to flash stock recovery. I also figured I needed to flash system also, but it through me off when the sparsechunks were numbered 0 - 3 instead of 1 - 4.
I didn't see any errors when I did the flashes.
Right now my battery is drained all the way to 0%. Hopefully it charges back up.
I appreciate the response. Thanks.

Do all fastboot commands including erase userdata. Change sparsechunk names to match the files in the firmware folder you have downloaded. Phone should charge on fastboot screen, but probably not if at a very low percentage.

I'm using this stock ROM: XT1028_FALCON_VERIZON_5.1_LPB23.13-33.7_cid2_CFC.xml.zip
The sparsechunk files in that zip are named:
system.img_sparsechunk.0
system.img_sparsechunk.1
system.img_sparsechunk.2
system.img_sparsechunk.3
and I need to rename them:
system.img_sparsechunk1
system.img_sparsechunk2
system.img_sparsechunk3
system.img_sparsechunk4
Correct?
Then I would run the following commands one at a time and checking for an OK on each, correct?
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk4
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
After that I can check that I can boot into the OS and then I can flash TWRP and restore my saved backup.
Does that sound right?
Thanks.

Don't rename the sparsechunk files. I said change the name when doing the fastboot commands.
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3​

I don't personally restore TWRP backups because of bad experiences, but as long as you are using the latest available TWRP you should be okay.

I decided to start over and not try to recover from the saved file. I don't think there was anything on there that I really needed anyway. All my pictures and stuff was synced to Google.
I'm guessing that I ran into a problem by not flashing the 4 system sparsechunks from the stock ROM to remove root and I wasn't able to flash the same 5.1 that I had on there since it was updated. Flashing the latest newer build Verizon ROM worked because it was the same as what was contained in the update.
I didn't receive another OTA update and system update shows my phone as up to date with:
Android version: 5.1
Android security patch level: 2016-03-01
System version: 221.201.2.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US
Build number: LPBS23.13-33.7-2
I'm back to having a working phone. Thanks for your help. Hopefully this will help others too.

Moto G (India) - XT1033 - can't FLASH anything (bootloop)

Hi All,
Phone - Moto G 1st Gen (India)
Model - XT1033 (falcon)
data backup - not required. Trying to bring phone to life is only objective. So anyone has any suggestion other than what I am trying below and will make phone alive I do not mind trying.
Phone was working very well before three days . After I did soft reset, it is going in bootloop only.
1. I can access bootloader and recovery menu.
2. I wiped cache, data/factory reset but did not help
3. after reading many threads on xda, so far i did following,
a. unlocking bootloader - done successfully, i can see status code -3 on reboot
b. flashing custom recovery TWRP - shows success on command line but neither i see teamwin logo nor twp recovery (goes back to stock recovery or shows black screen). I also tried CWM but same result!!!
mfastboot.exe flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-falcon.img

sending 'recovery' (9330 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.377s]
writing 'recovery'...

d. flash custom rom
- MTP is enabled by TWRP so moto g is detected in windows so copied Android6.0.1_NX_R10.3.3_MotoG2013.zip
- used TWRP to install it but gets stuck in "patching system image unconditionally" forever...
- Tried other ROMs such as XT1033_FALCON_ASIA_DS_5.1_LPBS23.13-56-2_cid7_CFC.xml with following steps, shows success but after rebooting I dont see anything happened.

1-Reboot into recovery (twrp)

@skyrajparmar, appreciate your response.
I tried your suggestion but result is same.
details:
1-Reboot into recovery (twrp) - success
2-Wipe data system cache - cleaned data/dalvik cache/cache/system successfully using TWRP
3-Flash cm13 zip file..... - using TWRP copied cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K9-falcon.zip to internal storage (over MTP) and installing using TWRP. It stays in "patching system image unconditionally" forever... I waited for more than 30 minutes and still its going on...
4-reboot system - not done as it does not come out from previous step

reasons
1-may be your cm12.1 zip file is bad..... try with cm13
2-your system partition may be damaged (fix-repair system n data partition in twrp )

@skyrajparmar,
1. cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K9-falcon.zip is a snapshot and all CM13 are nightly. since i wanted to use stable than beta, i tried CM12.1
2. as you suggested, i tried wipe ->advanced wipe -> data - success
3. as you suggested, i tried wipe ->advanced wipe -> system - fail with error 4 - unable to repair system (pls see attached image)

@skyrajparmar,
is there any difference between using someone's system folder and following commands:
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
would not above list of commands will overwrite /system partition?
I am asking because I have already tried above commands with much of the help!!!

Need help to install stock ROM on Moto G 2013 Falcon

Hi guys,
Im from the UK and I have a Moto G XT1032 device which was running Cyanogenmod 12 up until yesterday when I decided to re-install the stock rom. Unfortunately, I have well and truly botched it. The current situation is that I have TWRP set up as the recovery image, so I can get into 'AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)' OR into TWRP.
I accidentally wiped the 'system' via TWRP which seems to have caused most of my problems. I have tried to install the stock rom using a flashable zip (which failed) and I have also tried around 10 times to install the stock rom using the fastboot commands:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
#fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
When I try to do a basic wipe using TWRP, this is what shows up: hxxps://s27.postimg.org/r1dax21mb/falcon.jpg (change xx for tt, I don't yet have 10 posts so I cannot post links)
I just cannot seem to get the stock rom installed and booting no matter what I try. Can someone please work with me to get this sorted?
I would very, very much appreciate the help.
Thank you

Ok so i've managed to fix the 'unable to mount storage' issue via TWRP. I changed 'data' to EXT4 and I don't get any errors now.
But the problem is, for whatever reason, I am just unable to install a stock rom. I've used tutorials and still cannot seem to get a stock rom to load/work.
I used fastboot to install the rom files is this zip: XT1032_FALCON_TESCOGBSL_5.1_LPBS23.13-56-2_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
When I do a normal boot it gets stuck on 'Warning bootloader unlocked'
When I go to 'recovery', it boots up to a dead android which says 'no command'
When I go to factory restore, it gets stuck on the 'Warning bootloader unlocked' screen
What am I doing wrong?
edit: I even tried sideloading cyanogenmod and it said it was successful, but then it boots up to TWRP. Totally confused! In desperate need of help.
EDIT: I have now made progress. Here are my basic instructions:
put all the files from the zip file in a folder
put mfastboot.exe files into the same folder
install TWRP, erase
run bat file (add/remove sparse depending on files)
reboot and wait. Should work
I have managed to install the OS but wifi isn't working. And i'm now learning about a file called persist that I need to look into regarding wifi.
