FINAL EDIT: FIXED!!! Sparsechunk files 1,2and 3 have to match the exact name with the firmware folder sparsechunk files.
I did not notice that my firmware sparsechunk files ended in .0 .1 .2 and not 1 2 3 like the tutorial had listed, so I was fastbooting the wrong sparsechunk command. That was the final fix that finally worked for me.
Original post:
SHORT VERSION:
My god this has been one crazy root journey.
I have done absolutely EVERYTHING I could pull up on google to fix my phone, and what seemed to be the final piece to the puzzle, still has not fixed anything.
My phone is bricked, and i would really appreciate help at this point.
The current problem:
When I turn on my phone, it vibrates, and displays the WARNING BOOT LOADER UNLOCKED screen, and stays there forever.
I can access my boot loader, and recovery, but I dont know what to do at this point.
I tried a quick flash stock recovery kit kat with moto tool AIO, and it didnt help.
Any ideas?
LONG VERSION (backround info may help to understand the current issue)
Now, if you want to know what began all of this, continue reading, otherwise the above is my current issue.
After successfully unlocking and rooting my phone
I downloaded SWITCHME, an app that lets you create multible users on the phone. the instructions say that you can use a sub account to test and mess around with anything because you can simply go back to the admin account that has everything untouched.
That was a lie.
1.I deleted .setup, along with a few other things THAT WHERE NOT FLAGGED AS IMPORTANT, assuming the phone would still work. and my phone went bonkers, displaying this infinite message: UNFORTUNATELY, SETUP HAS STOPPED. It was impossible to use the phone, and I could only access bootloader.
2.After endless googling, driver downloading, xda mod installing, I managed to set up my boot loader to do the guide restore stock firmware:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Sadly, I flashed the wrong model number package, I was flashing x35, when I later discovered that my phone is x45.
Flashing the x35 firmware bricked my phone further, to where it would "fail to boot up" and would only display bootloader over and over after attempting to turn the phone on.
3. Simple, I realized I flashed the wrong thing, so I downloaded the x45 firmware from the firmware teem on this website, flashed all of the commands, and bam, the phone starts up with the boot loader warning, and DOES NOT get stuck in the previous boot loader issue I had.
But now the phone wont get past that warning screen so... now im pissed.
Please, if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it, Im so close to getting my phone back...
EDIT 2: Looks like the phone wont stay shut down, I realized that if I dont open up boot loader, it will turn itself on and display the warning message.
EDIT:
The stuffs I have, ready to try anything:
CWM touch mod
Moto Tool AIO
Minimal ADB and Fast boot
RETUS x1045 factory firmware
All directories, folders, cmd commands are set up and working properly between all of the programs.
The phone appears to be responding to all cmd commands properly.
I also have the windows one touch super boot root method. (he superboot-windows.bat )
Im afraid to try anything major after freshly flashing the x45 firmware that seemed to bring me one step closer without the help of someone else.
I restored stock to my phone using this link yesturday http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-restore-motorola-moto-g-stock-firmware-1447290
it may work for you
I have almost the same problem as if the fastboot not install anything despite not display errors
great that you got it done.
maybe my few cents about my "bricking" story. (xt1032 moto g)
yesterday i wanted to change the rom from cm11 nightly to another custom rom like ehndroix/carbonrom...
first i thought that will be done in a few mins, after having already flashed a custom rom.
then the story began, getting adb work, but, 2weeks ago everything was setup and went fine. dunno why my laptop lost the "drivers".
thats the link which solved that problem: tinyurl . com / kgffjh4 [sorry cant post links outside of xda yet, spam protection]
so after a few hours of getting that fixed i, i began flashing.
suddently i got stuck in bootscreen (ehndroix logo for example)...
then i wanted to go back with my previous backup made internaly of clockworkmod. though i couldnt restore my backup because there was an error message while restoring /data of my backup
also when restoring to factory/wipe in cwm there was that error message about clouldnt "touch" /data, i dont remember the message exactly.
after thinking i bricked everything, i though lets wipe my internal sdcard, maybe that causes the /data error.
then i restarted the device and went for a shower... after 15min i came back and my device was "started".
now i dont know that exactly helped, maybe wiping all data on my phone, or just letting my device boot for a "long" time...
so, thats my yesterdays brick story.
do a factory reset if the bootloader has that option.. otherwise install or run/boot a custom revovery, then either
try the factory reset option there and reboot or..
wipe everything and install a rom
Ok try this, I'm was a victim too:
Relock and unlock bootloader
Download and flash latest Philz
From there format everything...EVERY PARTITION...switch F2FS
After switching wipe every partition again
Select and execute the other 3 wiping option ie., Clean to install new ROM and the other 2 (I can't remember now)
Do this all over again via TWRP too
Now, this is important, don't use the mfastboot for restoring stock...use the one provided by Google for its Android SDK
Flash the stock images
Flash the Moto Razr boot animation and not the one for Moto G to remove the warning sign
I'm 99.99% sure your phone will boot properly
After the phone boots, reflash the Moto G bootanimation
Good Luck!

You're still in stock recovery.
Use fastboot flash recovery xyz.zip to flash philz recovery
Use this when you're in bootloader mode.

Hey everyone,
Yesterday i tried flashing the latest CM12 nightly straight onto my Moto G over stock KitKat. After i flashed the ROM, i tried booting and noticed it was taking a lot longer than normal to boot. Ten minutes had gone past so i tried rebooting it again and the same thing happened, just got stuck booting for ages.
So i decided to boot into recovery and do a factory reset to see if this would make any difference. But even after doing this the phone still wouldn't boot, so i decided to just flash the stock KitKat ROM back onto the phone and forget about all the Lollipop stuff.
The KitKat ROM wasn't on my phones storage so i downloaded it from the internet and flashed it via fastboot using and included Windows batch file. I've used this method numerous times to get me out of situations like this and it's always worked, but this time no!
Tried booting after flashing the new stock ROM and now it just keeps going to the 'Warning, bootloader unlocked' screen and then booting back in a loop.
When i boot into ClockworkMod recovery it gives me these errors:
Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
Can't open /cache/recovery/log
Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
And if i attempt to format /data, it says this:
Error mounting /data
Error formatting /data
I hate asking for help like this but unfortunately i don't have much option this time, no idea what to do despite searching forums for many hours.
Please help, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You can try getting into fastboot and run commands fastboot erase userdata and fastboot erase cache from your computer to pretty much factory reset the phone.

Thanks for the response. I tried entering the commands you suggested but the problem is still the same, phone stuck in the 'Warning, bootloader unlocked' loop. Does anyone have any other ideas? Really need some help with this, my little Moto has been dead for days!
And just an update on the situation, i noticed that if i go into CWM and select 'Wipe and Format Options' then 'Custom Format Options', choosing to format the cache and /data/media (/sdcard) options will stop the errors stated in the original post, but when i try flashing the ROM again the errors come straight back!

So sad to hear your Moto dead for the last days. Could you tell me more about your Moto? Can it turn off? Get into fastboot? Do you have recovery (stock or custom? Etc.

Yeah it sucks having a pretty much lifeless Moto, kinda scary as well not knowing if i'll be able to get it working again! But in response to your questions, i can turn it off and get into fastboot, i'm also able to boot into my recovery which is Philz Touch (ClockworkMod). If you take a quick look at the original post, i updated it a short while ago to show more details about the errors which are displayed.

If you can get into fastboot you can flash the stock firmware (not backup) back onto your phone that way. I have used fastboot many times to restore my xt1028 Moto G many times after seemingly bricking it. You will need the stock firmware for your phone to do this.
Here is a tutorial:

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my request for help. I have already tried flashing the stock ROM via fastboot mode but it makes no difference to the situation, even though the new ROM flashes perfectly without error, when i try to boot it just gets stuck in the reboot loop on the 'Warning, bootloader unlocked' screen. I have no idea what to do now!

I would suggest you try to install a custom recovery through fastboot (I use TWRP 2.7.1.0)
Just replace the stock recovery with TWRP in the fastboot file and use the command "flash recovery recovery.img" then reboot into recovery(hold power and volume down button down together for about ten seconds, release and you should see the fastboot screen. Then press recovery and then wipe>advanced>wipe ONLY cache and dalvik and then reboot)
See if that does the trick.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58116154&postcount=14
You have not stated your model. Don't use batch files to fastboot flash the firmware. Make sure the image is 4.4.4.

Thanks very much for the responses. Unfortunately i already had Philz ClockwordMod recovery installed on the phone and had attempted the various wipe options a number of times without any success. However, i thought that as i'd only tried flashing the UK ROM to the device, i would attempt flashing a different ROM just to ensure there wasn't an issue here somewhere. I downloaded the stock US ROM and after extracting the archive i ran the Windows batch file to flash the files onto the phone. After the process had completed i rebooted the phone (Didn't bother going into recovery and wiping/formatting cache) and to my surprise the phone booted up completely fine! So weirdly it seems that just flashing a different ROM did the trick. But anyway, my Moto is alive again now, i'm very pleased to say the least!
Hello, everyone.
So basically this is my issue. One day at work my Moto G restarted randomly and has been stuck in a bootloop ( boot animation cycles infinitely ).
I can access fastboot, booting to recovery freezes on TWRP logo.
My phone is rooted, unlocked and etc. I have tried flashing stock firmware, no changes, not even my custom boot logo and animation don't change.
I have tried using fastboot to erase everything and format but formatting fails saying this filesystem cannot be formatted.
I can access my files by booting into another recovery using fastboot boot recovery.img ( tried with PhilZ ) although it shows everything as it was before this all this ( all files gone, only directories left ).
I noticed that I could use ADB while stuck at TWRP logo. I tried pushing roms and using booted PhilZ to find them but they never appear, I can only push to /tmp, anything else doesn't exists although is shown through booted PhilZ.
I have tried using mkfs.ext4 to format my filesystem, everything went as it should but nothing changed.
TL;DR Bootloop, recovery does not open, fastboot flashing does nothing, adb push doesn't push anything
What the hell is going on with my phone? Any ideas people?
Somehow, your file system can't be accessed....was your phone encrypted?

It wasn't, I never encrypted it.
Also fastboot getvar all shows that my partition type is RAW.
Shouldn't it be F2FS or EXT4?
Maybe anyone has a proper partition mount point list for the Moto G?
I would try mkfs.ext4 formatting every possible mount point (cache,data,system and etc)
For example dev/block/mmcblk0p38
I found a Moto X mount point list but I have no clue if it's the same or not

I think I might have a similar situation. Can you give me an advice on how to confirm this?
The only difference in the circumstances is that my fiance's moto g has a custom recovery on it then she tired to install the 5.1 update. Then it would boot into the OS and after while would shut down then go to the recovery. I thought I had solved the issue by doing a factory reset. Everything was going fine until I turn it off. Now I get the boot animation and then a black screen. I can get the load screen on the custom recovery but that is it The computer can still recognize the phone.
Does this sound like your situation?

That's the same situation I was in.
Even if you try to flash another ROM, it will never install.
You can't modify any files because the memory is ****ed.
I sold the phone for parts and bought a S4
My Moto G (XT1033) 1st Gen with stock lollipop has stuck in a boot loop.
I am still able to go in to recovery mode. Have tried clearing cache, but that didn't seem to work.
I don't have CWM installed it's pure android as stock have installed updates only through OTAs.
Have googled about it and many are stating that a factory reset will solve the issue. But I don't want to lose data in the phone.
Main reason for the boot loop could be App as I use beta versions of Facebook, Whatsapp and Nova launcher from apkmirror.
What can be done to recover data or just get this boot loop fixed?
P.S: My device is not rooted and does not have any CWM or TWRP recovery.
I have got exactly the same issue yesterday itself. It was working fine, even received a call after which it was placed on a table. Picked up a few moments later & it was switched off. After that, whenever i'm trying to turn it on, its stuck on the M Logo - Powered by Android i.e Bootloop.
My phone was full stock and totally untouched as well. There weren't any apps installed from sources apart from Play Store. I'm able to access the stock recovery and tried clearing the cache but no respite. Whenever i try to factory format that, it gives an error of e:/could't mount /cache/recovery/xxxxxxxx errors.
I had read the forums for similar issues and got to know from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/moto-g-bootup-problem-recovery-mode-t3122492. The issue is cent percent same apart from the fact that i can access stock recovery.
Maybe @ravibhat & @lost101 can help us in this. I'm not worried about getting the data but bringing the phone back to life is more important for me !! Please help.

oh okay mate. I have been googling for such issue but the mostly suggested method is reset that I haven't done (not to lose data). Will wait for a day if I get any solution otherwise will reset it.
Let me know what happened to your phone. Hope it gets fixed soon
okay so here's the update. Was successful to take backup as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426426
And made factory reset after that but now it is still getting stuck on bootloop with M logo and powered by android screen. :crying:
I gave my phone to the service center guys today for reflashing the firmware. They were unable to do and suggested a motherboard replacement for which i obviously refused as they asked for ~INR 8000 as charges. So will start experimenting with it now and hope so i'm able to bring back to life.
What i'm planning is:
1. Flash Custom Recovery.
2. Wipe entire phone.
3. Flash stock ROM.
Will keep updating if i'm able to manage anything
EDIT : Did everything mentioned above but the phone is having same fate as before @krunalshah68. It gets stuck on the M Logo :crying: The internal memory although is being shown as 5xxx MB in TWRP unlike 0 Mb earlier.
Unlock Bootloader (if not already done) and flash twrp - mfastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Alternatively you can boot into twrp without flashing: mfastboot boot twrp.img
Download twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2980621
Then via PC, do the following wipe: (requires working ADB setup - google it)

Thank you for you reply mate. :good:
I have somehow managed to backup data by script. but the problem is now even after resetting it is still stuck into bootloop.
But I am a bit confused here in steps.
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Flash custom recovery like TWRP and clear dalvik cache
3) and then flash any custom rom
correct me if I am wrong. I am going to follow these steps. @lost101
Phone started! yeeey!
So heres the update bro @BBThumbHealer.
Unlocked bootloader.
Flashed TWRP.
Cleared cache/dalvik cache/data.
Flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/nx-nexus-experience-rom-10-0-3-ambient-t3268555/
And device is working smooth as silk now and that too with Marshmallow !:fingers-crossed:
Let me know your status bro. Hope I could help you in some way
@krunalshah68 : Great to know bro that ur phone is as good as new now .. Many congratulations
As far as mine is concerned, did the following :
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. Flashed TWRP Recovery v3.0.2
3. Using mfastboot, flashed stock 5.0.2 and the phone booted up successfully finally !!
But now here's the catch, the phone once flashed up with a rom boots up fine for a single time only. Within that time frame, every damn thing works fine. Able to browse the net, configure apps & settings , blah blah etc etc ... every single thing. But as soon as i restart the phone, the rom fails to startup. It gets stuck on the boot loop.
Initially i thought the rom might have been corrupt, but then i tried the following roms:
1. Stock 5.1 Optimized as posted by @lost101
2. crDroid CM 13 6.0.1
And again the same fate was met.
And yes, i've been installing the above roms by flashing the zips in twrp. After every flash, cleared dalvik, cache & data.
Maybe the fellow members @lost101 @ravibhat can give some insight what's happening ! :crying :
Hello guys, My phone is stuck on bootloop
I have already rooted device and now it is stuck on bootloop even the Recovery isn't opening. I know I would have to reset the phone with mfastboot but I want my internal storage to be backed up before doing all this Is there anyway to do so? Anyone here can help me out?
@sahil_arora05 : if you are able to access the bootloader mode, with the help of mfastboot, flash the latest version of twrp for moto g (mfastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img). After that, connect an otg disk to ur handset, boot into twrp and you'll be able to see all your files in the internal storage using the inbuilt file explorer for twrp. With that you can copy all ur data from the handset to the otg drive.

@krunalshah68 : Great to know bro that ur phone is as good as new now .. Many congratulations
As far as mine is concerned, did the following :
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. Flashed TWRP Recovery v3.0.2
3. Using mfastboot, flashed stock 5.0.2 and the phone booted up successfully finally !!
But now here's the catch, the phone once flashed up with a rom boots up fine for a single time only. Within that time frame, every damn thing works fine. Able to browse the net, configure apps & settings , blah blah etc etc ... every single thing. But as soon as i restart the phone, the rom fails to startup. It gets stuck on the boot loop.
Initially i thought the rom might have been corrupt, but then i tried the following roms:
1. Stock 5.1 Optimized as posted by @lost101
2. crDroid CM 13 6.0.1
And again the same fate was met.
And yes, i've been installing the above roms by flashing the zips in twrp. After every flash, cleared dalvik, cache & data.

Thank you @BBThumbHealer.
Damn man that's the basic steps that you are following and that too pretty neat and right. Even though it is causing issues then there might be some other hardware bug may be ! Hope your phone gets started soon!
Hi Guys,
phone : Moto G (XT1033), Falcon
- stuck in bootloop
- able to go to recovery
- unable to flash custom recovery such as twrp or cwm
- as suggested,
1. Unlocked the bootloader successfully, can see code status = 3 in recovery mode
mfastboot oem unlock <CODE>2. Unable to flash twrp. It writes successfully but shows stock recovery only
mfastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-falcon.img3. so tried booting twrp using with success
mfastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-falcon.img4. cleaned cache, dalvik etc.
5 using twrp, used ADB which enables MTP which let me transfer Android6.0.1_NX_R10.3.3_MotoG2013.zip to internal memory
6 Using twrp to flash ROM - Android6.0.1_NX_R10.3.3_MotoG2013.zip
It seems it started installing but its been more than one hour and it seems its still doing something.
It has stuck at - "Patching system image unconditionally..."
is this normal? Did I miss anything?
Appreciate help in advance. thank you for your time...
Best Regards,
Jignesh
I got my OnePlus 7 Pro today and tried to install Magisk by patching the boot.img. After trying to flash the patched image, I now have an issue where rebooting the devices leads me straight back to the bootloader. Trying to enter recovery also leads me straight back to the bootloader. I tried flashing the original boot.img I extracted from the OTA update file provided by OnePlus, but it still isn't working. I do not have TWRP or any custom recovery installed. Any help would be much appreciated. I noticed similar threads, however they all installed twrp, though I haven't yet as trying to run "fastboot boot twrp.img" always resulted in it booting to a screen saying "fastboot mode" which wasn't terribly helpful.
Edit: Its not the tmobile/5g/carrier version. I purchased it through OnePlus' website though I forget the exact model number.
Well, "fastboot boot twrp.img" does not work on all devices, sometimes you have to use: fastboot flash boot insert_twrp_img_name_here.imgLearned that the hard way, also use the unofficial twrp from mauronofrio.
Had the same problem as you have, and fixed it with that unofficial twrp.

Did you need to completely revert to stock after the issue, or did flashing twrp fix the fastboot loop?
Edit: Trying to flash the stock fastboot rom currently as flashing twrp did nothing probably because me trying to fix it broke everything. Hopefully the stock rom will get everything back to a working state where I can try again, just this time flashing twrp.
Also using windows this time instead of linux....

Ok, so, trying to restore stock seems to have failed miserably.... any advice is most welcomed qq
OK.... so trying to unbrick the device using the msm stuff, I couldn't even make it to the downloader screen. After holding volume +/- and powering off, my screen is now black HOWEVER the phone gets detected by windows when I plug & unplug it. I have no idea what to do anymore. Someone please help
Figured I'd give the solution here in case someone else is in the same exact problem as me:
Follow the instructions over at https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/op7pro-collection-unbrick-tools-t3956595
I tried to de-brick it using the fastboot roms and all that, no dice. The only thing that seems to have worked was following the above and using the msm tool. Everything wiped, but hey, at least the phone is bootable again and now I have a way to fix it should this happen again. Yay for happy endings.
Edit: Also, following Faith1105's advice, flashing twrp to boot instead of trying to just boot it first worked successfully and from there I was able to install magisk.
Edit 2: Now wifi isn't working.... why life, why...
Edit 3: OK: EVERYTHING IS GOOD NOW. Twrp ran into a boot loop issue, used twrp to flash the most recent android 10 zip, rebooted and was greeted by stock recovery, then used that to wipe absolutely everything and reboot. After skipping through initial setup and making use wifi was working I rebooted again and this time tried booting twrp the way the usual instructions say to, this time it worked for whatever reason so once that started I used twrp to flash twrp's installer and magisk. It looks like everything is working correctly now. If you have the same issue maybe this stuff will work for you or maybe not: I don't know, and honestly I'm now brain dead lol.
