Always booting recovery

Hello
Im using CDMA Moto G XT1031.
I have tried every possible way to go back stock but the phone refuses. Even stock recovery will not show the red exclamation mark and continuous bootloops.
I have tried TWRP but no luck. Only Philz works, so I tapped Clean to install new ROM and flashed CM 11 Nightly via USB OTG (because sideload was not working however fastboot works)
Now even CM refuses to start and throws me back to recovery.
Please help
Thanks

But is it safe to flash a GSM image on CDMA just to revive it from virtually dead since factory recovery is also not working, only Philz works?

the point is that you must flash your moto g with a higher android version from what your moto g installed,...example if you have this problem on 4.3 so you must flash 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 and if on 4.4.2,so flash with 4.4.4..if for this time 4.4.4 update for cdma moto g was not yet available,i think u must wait until 4.4.4 update's coming.
i think cdma and gsm img is a different.

[Q] Latest Moto G XT1033 pre 4.4.4 has problem in accessing custom recovery

The new stock of Moto G xt1033 in india which comes with 4.4.4 out of the box has problem in rooting. Custom recovery flashes easily. But while accessing it, I get only blank screen. I tried many recoveries but all in vain. Thing is, the baseband version of this stock is also different. Need help here all the devs. Please :/

Please post if you get recovery working or not. I have U.S. Moto G XT1031 and waiting for 4.4.4 update. I don't want to update if I can't re-root. Thanks and good luck!

how to fix it.

use latest recovery. flash cwm iff twrp is not working. recovery has nothing to do with baseband, it will load irrespective of it. try going into recovery via adb or via fastboot.

I flashed all recoveries but every recovery shows blank screen. And are you sure that baseband isn't respinsible?

Windows 8.1 may have this problem ?

Dude. Mototool does flashing things automatically. If I can flash manually why do I need mototool. I don't like to use these tools. I have flashed recovery bro but can't access it. This problem is with everyone with 4.4.4 out of the box :/

[Q] CM 12 in XT1033 (Not converted into GPE)

My Moto G is XT1033 varient. I didnt converted it into GPE. Its just normal XT1033 out of box. I unlocked the bootloader and then flash TWRP (2.8.0.1-xt1032) recovery to install CM12. But when i booted into recovery, i got flickering screen. Then i flashed Philz Touch (philz_touch_6.58.7-falcon) and installed CM 12 official by wiping data, system and cache. But i cant get pass through the boot logo. Is there any way to get latest TWRP for XT1033 varient. How can i flash CM 12 in my XT1033 varient without converting it into GPE.

Flash CM11 first. Then flash CM12 over it. Though dual sim is not working on XT1033.

Ok. If i flashed CM 12 through CM 11 will i get one sim working?
Anyway, in CM12 thread, they mentioned that we need L compatible recovery. What will happen if i flashed CM11 using Philz (Which i think Kitkat compatible recovery.) Will it work on Lollipop. And since, i trapped in bootscreen, how can i flash CM11 without copy it to my mobile. Thanks.

I downloaded CM 11. But i cant copy that to my mobile, since it cant surpass the boot screen. i tried adb sideload and adb push. But permission denied. Please help me on this.

1. No dual sim or just one sim in slot will not work
2. I used philz to flash cm12 and had no problems.

So you didnt convert XT1033 to GPE?
How long it will take to boot up for first time?

how to root Moto G 4G android 5.1

hi.
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader on my moto G 4G (LTE) or XT1039 that has been upgraded to android 5.1
But using old procedure to root it(for android 4.4.4), i doesn't work. I have tried with booting twrp (for the xt1032) and it gets stuck at the motorola logo it displays when shutting down. So it doesn't reboot.
I tried the twrp for xt1032. And it's the same.
I tried twrp for the moto titan but this time seems to become dead. But it's ok to reboot it
I tried the chainfire CAFR autoroot dot chainfire dot eu but the red android never show up and it jsut reboots as normal.
I don't want to flash a custom recovery or a custom rom. I just want to root it. That's why I have unlocked the booloader in the first place.
Anyone got a working solution ?
Is it garanteed it will work with a custom recovery ? and flash a custom rom ?

Moto g XT1033 stuck in PA 5.1 Boot Screen.. Help please !

Hi all
In order to use a custom rom , I did the following with my moto g XT1033.
It was running on android 4.4.4 wen i did all these.
1. Unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp 2.8.7.0.
2. Downloaded the latest PA build from here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2614690"
3. And downloaded pico gapps.
4. When i flashed the rom it told that the bootloader is out of date. So i updated the bootloader following this thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/falcon-bootloader-upgrader-tool-t3093793"
5. And when i flashed the rom it was flashed fine. And the gapps and supersu also.
But when i reboot it stucks in bootscreen. I tried wiping and flashing once again. It doesnt work. The bootloader and the recovery are remaining safe and good.
Shud i try a new different ROM or is there any problem with my procedure.. ???

The current bootloader version is 41.18. Moto g phones using 5.1.1 had bootloader version as 41.1A. Does this make a difference..?

Try another rom like aicp or euphoria

Hey my moto g3 cm 12.1 camera pictures taken with flash are black panorama pictures appear orange and slow mo is not working

No 41.18 is still fine (it also can be used for marshmallow ROMs e. g. CM 13 or CyanPop)!

Did you root your device after you unlock your bootloader? Maybe you can try to flash supersu first then try to reflash rom and gapps.
