Problems flashing twrp - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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
C:\Users\Mark> fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-falcon.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (9526 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.329s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.546s]
finished. total time: 0.889s
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

MOTO G: Help for going back and changing firmware from XT1032 to XT1033

Hey nerds,
Could you please help with step by step guide on how to go back and change my UK firmware XT 1032 (for MOTO G) to the normal XT1033 firmware.
I changed my MOTO G XT1033 to XT1032 as was given proper instructions on the web however when I tried searching for instructions going back to XT1033 I didn't find any proper instructions. Please help. I'm kinda in a hurry as I want to sell this phone and need both the sims card tray working.
PS: I have already downloaded the firmware "fastboot_falcon_asia_ds_user_4.3_14.10.0Q3.X-84-7-LCG-4_4_release-keys-cid7-AsiaRetail_03.tar" and per instructions found in the net I got this message

Please help. I'm really desperate.
Will keep a lookout for your reply.
You are flashing 4.3 firmware on 4.4, downgrading doesn't work and might even brick your boot loader!
Try this firmware (it has different flashing instructions)

Moto G wont boot after failed OTA update

Geniuses of the internet!
I am in desperate need of help.
Basically yesterday morning I was greeted with an update notification and being none the wiser I just accepted and thought everything would be ok. Silly me.
Since then my phone has done nothing but boot loop. First to the black screen with Google and the unlocked pad lock, but after some playing I now have a white Warning Bootloader Unlocked message.
I have tried flashing a stock ROM or two with Fastboot and some tools but I cant get the sodding thing to boot up.
Whenever I try to Fastboot files to my phone, the first few files always fail with the same warning
target max-sparse-size: 256MB
sending 'motoboot' (1940 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.140s]

It might be worth mentioning that this was a Virgin Mobile phone which I flashed to GPe.
So now all I want is to flash my phone to a stock GPe ROM and get the bloody thing working again.
PLEASE HELP!

Update #1
I flashed Philz to the phone but when trying to sideload the rom, I get a error: device not found message. Fastboot picks up the phone find, I am using minimal ADB and Fastboot install and I have all the latest USB drivers from Motorola.
Also the two files that fail from Fastboot leave a message on the phone
version downgraded for primary_gpt and version downgraded for tz
Still wont boot though.
Update #2
I installed the SDK and tried sideloading and still no dice
Update #3
I found a gpt.bin file in these forums that now does flash, but the motoboot.img still fails

[Completed] Moto G (XT1033) 1st Generation - Bricked

Hi
I'm not able to boot my Moto G (XT1033) 1st Generation.
Its in bootloop, stuck at the M logo screen. I believe its called softbrick, not sure though.
Before my phone got dead it was updated with latest OTA updates.
Anyways I have installed Motorola drivers on my system, setup Minimal_adb_fastboot/mfastboot.
Downloaded the Moto G stock firmware (XT1033) from your forum. (RETAIL-AS_FALCON_KXB20.25-1.31_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml)
I have unlocked bootloader through the Motorola website.
When I run the command to restore the firmware to stock I get the below error.

Looking forward to hear back.

Help, I made a mistake and relock the bootloader

Hi, I have been testing the SafetyNet api and I made a serious mistake, I decided to close the bootloader of my Moto Maxx, but I did not take into consideration that although I had the last published rom of my region installed, I did install an update via OTA, which I understand prevents me from installing the rom I have, since it seeks to install the rom + update, even worse, forget to click on the option "allow oem unlock" so I can not reopen the bootloader, the last rom published for my region is the XT1225_QUARK_RETLA_6.0.1_MPGS24.107-70.2-2_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml, but it does not let me flash it, I have tried all published so far, but I have only been partially lucky with the rom QUARK_VERIZON_6.0.1_MCG24 .251-5-5_cid2_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml, which I believe already comes with the security OTA update and lets me flash gpt.bin, but since it is from another region it does not let me flash recovery or system.img, will there be someone who have the last Latin American rom or at least the recovery.img to try to revive my smartphone?, sorry for my clumsy English and thanks in advance.
Well, I finally found a ROM that fix my error, if someone else goes through the same thing you can download it in

Sorry for that, I thought I needed the specific ROM of my region, but finally it was not like that, anyway thank you very much.
On the other hand, it seems that the version I found is a bit newer.

Not sure why you relocked your bootloader when you can use Magisk to hide that.
But it's easy to replace the unlocked bootloader warning. How do you want to do it -- via ADB (fastboot) or TWRP? Besides which method, choose which boot logo below you wish to replace the warning? The warning is just a graphic, and you will replace it with another graphic -- like one of the Motorola logos below.
Here's some custom boot logos from my Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo guide. Works on all Quarks -- Droid Turbo/Moto Turbo/Moto Maxx. Your choice of colors of the Motorola M logo. Very classy.
Install either via ADB (fastboot) or TWRP. Both choices are offered.
____________
BOOT LOGOS
You can just reflash your choice of boot logo to replace the unlocked warning screen. It's just a static image Motorola insists on showing you that your bootloader is unlocked.

Thanks to @XDleader555 for the splash logo I found in Moto X Pure forum -- but I adapted it for our Quarks so it would not be upside down. The other bundled elements are taken from the Black & Teal boot logo file ("recovery", "bootloader", etc) but the splash screen is this black artistic Motorola logo. For the TWRP flashable file I utilized @bhb27's excellent logo flasher app. Post #3 is ADB, post #5 is TWRP flashable.

I have Indian moto turbo xt1225. Till now I am using different Rom after boot loader unlocked lastyear. Last week I have planned to sell my phone. so I decided to relock boot loader. So I put command OEM lock in fast boot and bootloader got locked. The sad thing that I have forgotten to tick allow OEM unlock in developer option before doing this. Now my phone is bricked and bootloader is in locked condition. I can't push any Rom or recovery via adb or fast boot because of locked bootloader. I googled how to unlock bootloader in fast boot mode, but no solution is seen. Sombody says flashing factory firmfare via rsd lite solve the problems as it doesn't need uncloked bootloader. But when I flashing mtoturbo lollipop Indian factory version given in this forum, flashing failed message came in rds lite .flashing failed boot.img like errors. Kindly help

With locked bootloader you have to flash the same or newer firmware for your region than what you had. Every firmware release, no matter how minor, has a new bootloader version.
With an UNLOCKED bootloader you can fastboot all the way back to other region Kitkat 4.4.4 if you wish. Moto Turbo XT1224 launched with Lollipop but Latin America countries had Kitkat for their XT1225. You can flash any region, any version of XT1225 firmware -- IF the bootloader is unlocked, as long as you exclude GPT.bin from your flash commands.
With locked bootloader, you can only flash the region for your XT1225 (India) and only the latest date firmware ever installed or you can update to even newer.
The problem is in India, the "most recent" firmware which was delivered via OTA was NEVER released as full image file. Most are looking for this file: The problem is Motorola apparently never publicly released the India (RETEU) "GS" region full image version of this firmware. They only released the partial image OTA.
XT1225_QUARK_RETEU_6.0.1_MPGS24.107-70.2_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
So, you have to go to a Motorola Service Center for them to install it for you. See here for more information.

I have messed up my oneplus one bacon
I was using lineageos 16 and all was fine. For some dumb reason like getting 'Screen mirroring' feature, I decided to go back to lineageos 15.1. Somewhere in the instructions I [mis]read, a clean wipe is recommended to go back to previous release.
I wiped all my partitions from twrp. That's why, my system partition is gone.
I tried a bunch of things after searching on these forums for similar symptoms, but no luck as of yet.
I tried to flash the stock recovery and stock ROM
Recovery flash was successful and so I am on CWM, but the ROM failed as the system partition could not be mounted/unmounted
Now, my phone's state -- I have Cyanogen recovery

I tried sideload to upload files like stock ROM, I get verification errors.
I was hoping this thread would help me. But not sure how to apply this fix
I am unable to flash or boot as I get the following error
> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
