Problem:
SD cant mount, I tried all the ways but unsuccessful
secondly sd card partition is corrupted i guess
I cant see the sd card option in Computer so i can have access inside the SD card
Battery dropped sometimes to 0 %
Nutshell - My phone is royally messed up
Note:
Needing all the team members substantiate support to make alive my new MOTO G.

Hello Sir
I did all that what is mentioned in my forum, i even erase the phone and tried as per one of the senior member but that also failed, as i said in my forum it cant mound the SD Card. i guess that's the problem. I tired all possible ways in the forum mentioned but i am still helpless. If someone cant tell the process one by one then i can do something. But to be more precise i did all that said in forum, all failed.

I don't see that you have written that you have reflashed the stock firmware

Assuming that it is the xt1033 version, reflash the stock Asian firmware again, flash the LATEST version if the philz recovery, and then just do a factory reset to clean install a new ROM(that option will be there in philz recovery in the data wipe option), then flash the latest nightly of cm11 and you should be good...

Do not use the firmware zip...Download the Asia retail firmware for xt1033 and then flash it using fastboot...There is a detailed guide on this procedure in the troubleshooting section...After that you will get network and your phone will work perfectly...If you had ever updated you phone via OTA to 4.4.4 then flash the 4.4.4 stock firmware or flash the 4.4.2 firmware if you were had never updated stock to 4.4.4...here is a link to that guide...

Retail Asia 4.4.4 Firmware Image:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54487261&postcount=332​

[Q] Help! fastboot flash appears to do nothing!

I have somehow totally trashed my Android install. I have a UK retail Moto G XT1032.
While downloading the OTA lollipop update, the download appeared to stall. I decided to give up on the update, so I switched the phone off. When I turned it back on again, every single process crashed. "Unfortunately dialler/android.process.acore/Calendar/android.process.media/etc has stopped". I can keep tapping "OK" for ever to clear these notifications, but can't actually use the phone for anything at all.
So I decided to do a factory reset from fastboot. It made no difference.
I tried a factory reset from recovery. It made no difference.
Using fastboot, I attempted to install the stock ROM according to the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219. Everything seemed to flash OK - I got OKAY on the PC and the commands appeared to be running on the phone OK, but when it restarted, the phone was exactly the same - my wallpaper photo was still there, and the app icons that I could glimpse behind the endless notifications were my apps.
I tried several more times, this time flashing the 4.4.4 ROM (RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF). Exactly the same results - nothing changes when I restart.
It's as if the mfastboot flash commands do nothing at all! I have run all the mfastboot commands described by the guide in the order given.
I've also tried booting to recovery and connecting to ADB, but the PC cannot see the device.
I've tried replacing the recovery with CWM and TWRP .img files, but the flash command, while seeming to work, doesn't change anything at all! The recovery that I have installed is the standard KXB21.14-L1.40.
I have tried "mfastboot.exe erase recovery", before attempting to update the recovery, but it makes no difference.
Does anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong? It seems that no "mfastboot flash xxx yyy" command works at all on my phone.

Did you installfastboot or mfastboot? ADB commands only work if the is booted and USB debugging is on.

Got the same problem. I've already posted this in a few threads and didn't get any answer, though

Sounds crazy but, when you type fastboot devices with your phone connected in fastboot mode, does the command return your phone's serial #?

Yes, everything via fastboot works (says complete, done etc.) except it doesn't affect the real system. If you sideload ADB you will see that the system, data and cache partition become read-only. I've managed to remount only data partition with write privileges, but that doesn't help.

Are you flashing each partition manually? You can see your device's serial # in fastboot?

Originally, I used the version of fastboot that came with the first stock ROM I tried (falcon_retgb_user_4.3_14.10.0Q3.X-76-LGG-8_54_release-keys-cid7-Retail_GB).
Later on, I installed mfastboot and used that instead. The results were the same. Nothing seems to actually be flashed, but there are no errors on either the PC or the phone.
ADB does not work in fastboot (I don't believe it's supposed to!), but it also will not work with the version of recovery that I have, which is why I was attempting to install CWM and TWRP in its place.

Yes. I'm currently trying the following sequence with the XT1032_RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml ROM...
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_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
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
The mfastboot command returns OKAY for each of these, and a couple of yellow lines appear on the phone for each command, indicating that the right command is running, with no error messages.

I have never used mfastboot. Maybe try using fastboot to flash? I have used fastboot on my Moto G and Moto Atrix HD with great success.

Tried with fastboot, tried with mfastboot, got no errors but nothing changes. The real problem I suppose is corrupted partitions.

Have you tried the moto flash tool??

@IcyBee, I see you're flashing the GB retail. Is it possible to try a different ROM such as the GPE?

I've just given it a go.
When flashing the ROMs, it basically runs the same mfastboot commands that I was running before, so the result was exactly the same.
However, the ADB Driver install button was worth trying. The driver supplied has enabled my PC to communicate with the phone using ADB when in recovery mode!
Unfortunately, after selecting "apply update from ADB" on the phone, and running "adb sideload <ROM zip file>", it sends it to the phone (taking a couple of minutes), and the phone says "Verifying update package", followed by "Installation aborted".
When you sideload, do you need some sort of special format ROM file?

I was hoping to use the stock ROM, just to get the phone back to its original state.
If the mfastboot command does nothing, I doubt trying different ROMs will help. But I'll probably try it if I can't get anything else to work.

thanks a lot!

@IcyBee - I have seen this before. Try using fastboot on a Linux PC / Laptop. You can use a live cd to do this - no need to actually install Linux.
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot​

Thanks for the idea. I happen to have a laptop running the latest Lubuntu.
I installed fastboot as you directed and re-flashed everything. Exactly the same. The commands all say OKAY, the yellow text on the phone says it's running the commands, but when I reboot - everything is exactly as it was before - including my wallpaper photo and app icons. And every single process on the phone is crashing.
I do not believe fastboot is actually working on this phone. The only commands that seem to work are the ones to unlock the bootloader and the one to reboot the phone.

@IcyBee - does the fastboot commands for flashing the system.img files actually match the files in the firmware folder?
I.e first file is sparsechunk.0 not sparsechunk1
EDIT: Next I would try the only available XT1032 factory firmware image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58534609
It's retail Brazil, but will work anywhere in the world.
I suggest you skip flashing the bootloader - motoboot.img

OK - I downloaded this and flashed it. Exactly the same as all the previous attempts. It appears to work, but when I restart, the phone is in exactly the same state as before, as if no flashing has happened.

Attached is a very blurry picture taken in poor light with my very old spare phone of the Moto G just before boot. All commands seemed OK, except for recovery.img and motoboot.img, which displayed "hab check error" in pink (not pictured).
Thanks again to all of you for your assistance in this matter.

Recovery mode ADB will work in Linux. You could try side-loading the 5.0.2 OTA Update.

MOTO G XT1032 black screen

I have a Moto G (XT1032) running Android 5.0.2 that went out of charge one day. It then decided to boot into a black screen - i.e. I can see the Motorola splash screen (animation) but all I get after that is a black (grey) screen, not responsive to touch.
I tried a few things and they didn't work -
Fastbooted and selected 'Recovery' option - The Motorola logo (first screen of startup splash screen) appears briefly. Then the device returns to fastboot menu saying 'Boot Up failed'
Fastbooted and selected 'Factory' - The Motorola splash screen appears, boots into same black (grey) screen again.
The fastboot menu says "Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0". I did not enable USB debugging before my phone stopped working.
How do I get my phone working again?

You do not need an unlocked Bootloader to flash one of the factory firmware images: (I suggest using only one of the 5.0.2 images)

Is there important data on the phone? Then do not use the command: mfastboot erase userdata

At this stage you should press power button for few seconds and tap vol +, it is the way to enter recovery in lollippp, correct me if I am wrong.

I see something wierd now, looks like the memory of the phone dosent save anything... sometimes, when the boot animation stops, i see the message of "1 of 1 Updates, android its updating" and then go to the black screen again... but, if i flash the phone, i shouldn't see that message, rigth? so, why i can still see it? how can i erase all the memory for sure???

Try flashing TWRP: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347764184
Command: mfastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0.-falcon_STOCK.img - enter recovery afterwards.
If that fails to flash, try: mfastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0.-falcon_STOCK.img

@Joncillo - See the last post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/moto-g-bootup-problem-recovery-mode-t3122492 - you are both in the same situation I believe.
It's a known issue; where battery is allowed to die and has resulted in Bootloader / Partition corruption.
Try what I have suggested there - if that does not solve it, you may have to wait for a working Lollipop hardbrick solution, which would allow you to repair the Bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-revive-hard-bricked-moto-g-t2833798

Allow OEM Unlock Bootloader

Hello! My phone's stuck in a bootloop and flashing Stock ROM doesn't help, so I was thinking of rooting the phone. Problem is I don't have Allow OEM Unlock ticked and I can't get onto the phone to do it. Is there any way to Allow OEM Unlock from bootloader? Or any other solution that might fix the problem?
Thank you!

The phone MUST be bootable to enable OEM Unlocking, if you can't get it to boot to turn it on, there is no way to unlock the bootloader, thus no way to root.
It might be useful if you gave us some more details about how you got into this state... what you did or what happened, specific variant, etc.

Oh okay. I've got a Motorola G3, XT1541. I tried updating it to Marshmallow which resulted in the phone bootlooping so I tried following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750 to fix it. Everything works fine when following the guide, I get [OKAY] on all steps in fastboot but it still doesn't work. I actually did miss the last sparsechunk file the first time I did it, so I ran it again. I can still get to the bootloader, but when trying to reach the recovery menu from there it just goes into bootloop again.
Thank you very much for helping out!

Actually, that looks perfect... And it just bootloops afterwards, meaning it actually does a reboot and NOT just getting "stuck"?
I do not have a copy of this firmware image, it has exactly 7 sparcechunk pieces (0-6)?
One more thing... before you issue the fb_mode_set command, did you do a 'fastboot format cache' and 'fastboot format userdata' or do a factory reset from recovery?

After issuing the reboot command at the end it goes to the white screen with the motorola logo, then the screen goes black, and then back to the motorola logo, and keep on going like that.
Yeah that's correct, 0-6 sparsechunk files. I did fastboot ERASE cache and ERASE userdata, since I can't get into the recovery menu (goes into bootloop if I try). When I try any of those commands it says Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'.

im having the exact same problem, used the same software and carried out the same steps as you with no luck either.
from what ive read its because you need to wipe all the data first but because we get the, cant its RAW message, it wont download the firmware onto the phone even though it says it went ok. at the minute i havnt found anyone whos successfully been able to repair this fault.
mine was working perfectly untill the ota update

There is no fix for that, use your warranty if you have so

Hi,
I have the same problem, I've made the same steps after faulty OTA update. And the Motorola warranty shop has told me that the warranty is void because of interference in the software. I have to add that in the fastboot after "getvar all" command there's a line "iswarrantyvoid = no", so as I understand the warranty should be still valid.
Regards.

It's fastboot not adb lol. Contradictory sentences
Edit: BTW motoboot.img is not present, it may refer to earlier generation of moto g. There is an line to flash bootloader.img instead. Have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3187750. Thanks.

thanks everyone.

Maybe that sparsechunk did not extract fully from the zip. Re-extract, or download the entire zip again.

First, thanks to your suggestion.
I just re-download the roms from the different websites
then use 7 zip to extract the both file and try again ,still get the same result as i say that on the topic.
BY the way ,thank you for your suggestion.

Try an 'external' factory reset via Stock Recovery:

Keep trying, you should be able to enter recovery mode. The instructions are press and hold Vol up, then tap Power button - not what you describe.

After that ,i try several methods, and do some stupid things and relock the bootloader,
i can't flash any part of the roms now,is there any way to unlock the bootloader again?
(P.S. the status in fastboot mode still show up unlock)

i have done what in the link, so get trouble

New 5.1 Factory Firmware Images are now available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/index-moto-g-falcon-factory-firmware-t3110795
For now, the only XT1033 image you can use is: XT1033_FALCON_RETBR_DS_5.1_LPBS23.13-56-2_cid12 (you can change language to english during setup)
I would try flashing that firmware image via mfastboot. When the new XT1033 Asia firmware image becomes available, you can change to that if you want.

thanks for your reply, i had tried the rom you provided to me, it still get the same result,all the steps are showing the result "failure".
