[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/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.

Moto g errors when updating to lollipop

Hi had a moto g xt1039 on 4.4.4 yesterday finally got the official 5.0.1 update however my phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked. So I got the official stock from for my phone checked it and the cid number too. Followed the instructions on here to flash the rom back on. This all worked and a clean install was done. After a few apps updated the lollipop update message appeared again so downloaded and installed it however during the install it errored, restarted and once I was back on the phone dashboard it said an error occurred no changes made. The bootloader is still unlocked. Could this be the issue? If so how do you relock or what could cause the install error issue?
Many thanks

update so far while waiting for someone to help fix this current issue i have done some research on how to lock the boot loader. I found a guide on here to do so and the commands within mfastboot was as follows:
fastboot oem lock begin
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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem lock
So i executed this and now the problem is after restarting the phone the screen is stuck on the warning boot loader unlocked screen and wont move. Te phone still can boot into boot loader and communicates with the pc.
So i re flashed the firmware with the original guide ( without the fastboot oem lock) but still stuck on the boot loader unlock screen. Do i have to input a command to unlock the boot loader again?
Need this sorting asap as its my only phone for communication and i currently don't have a functioning phone.
Many Thanks

Unlocked Bootloader is not the reason for your original issue. I have never 'relocked.'

Hi, this is my first time making a post, ok here's the thing, a couple of days ago my phone run out of battery, when i come back to charge the phone, this just get stuck in the Motorola logo and don´t turn on, i never make nothing like root or flashing roms, the phone os was all stock Android 5.1; so i look in the internet for possible cause and i find that it was a bootloop, i try to get in to the fastboot flash mode to make a reset with the factory option but just get directly to the motorola logo and dont do nothing, so a try with the recovery option and gets in to the android system recovery <3e> and try the wipe data/factory reset but doesn´t work. I try even via computer using the minimal adb and fastboot to erase the cache and the userdata with the commands and doesn't work, still appearing the motorola logo. so i found that i have to install the original rom again but first ill have to unlock the bootloader for my device, so i did it, i unlock the bootloader and now appear <Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3> and now appear the poster WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED instead of the motorola logo; then i search for the stock rom for my device and i find this one XT1040_PEREGRINE_RETBR_5.1_LPB23.13-8_cid12_CFC.xml.zip (i know that my device is peregrine because i remember saw it before in the settings but not remeber the hole name), so i make the installation with adb tools like the post say and make this commands:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

If your goal is to re-lock the bootloader: try the command: fastboot oem lock
However, I don't see that solving your problem and may compromise your ability to restore to stock. Instead check this link and follow the install directions EXACTLY:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816
eg. for Canada choose: XT1040 (Note: for Rogers/Fido - confirmed)
Retail Canada 5.1 ROM (Untouched) (531mb) [Download]
i.e., you want the untouched version for your specific region.
Good luck. S

Flash went bad, how to flash anything working?

Hi, I've flashed my Moto G and I messed up real bad, multiple flashes and so... I can still get into fastboot, but trying to power up normally just gives me the warning about unlocked bootloader, which hangs indefinitely.
The phone is Moto G 8GB XT1032, Retail DE, originally 4.4.2.
-> What can be done about this? Is there a way to reformat the partitions and flash them all fresh and new?
Just so you know, I've been flashing with this batch below. Whatever I flash with it now, doesn't help.
Code:
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
Btw, I know I probably made a lot of stupid mistakes, but in the past I've succesfully flashed dozens of phones and I never messed up like this... Feel free to mock me

Updated: I installed TWRP and found out I am unable to mount or repair system and cache. Also, both partitions show 0 MB size.

The restore to stock should work. Make sure you have mfastboot, the exact factory firmware images for your device, and that each file flashes successfully. Maybe you could post the cmd output if it doesn't flash correctly.

It initially worked, the phone booted up fine, but after I switched it off, it came back up in recovery mode. Now it only boots up in recovery.

so you can't boot into system?

Finally, I solved it.
I couldn't, but then I found many people have this issue and the solution was to somehow repair the misc directory through ADB in TWRP (instructions are somewhere here at xda-dev). Now works well.

[SOLVED] XT1032 stuck at boot even after factory reset and reflashing stock firmware

My Moto G 1st Gen 2013 (XT1032) is stuck at the first boot screen even after wiping user data and reflashing it with stock firmware.
It was an untampered model (non-rooted, with “Status Code: 0” factory-locked bootloader, no-carrier, non-SIM-locked), with whatever latest OTA update Motorola ever shipped (Lollipop, I believe), officially updated all the way from whatever the first Moto Gs sold at Amazon.es shipped with—4.something. Out of the blue, one day it rebooted and stayed in the screen with the blue marble with an M on it.
To fix it, I have repeatedly tried:
wiping the cache
wiping user data
unlocking the bootloader
reflashing stock 4.4.4, 5.0.2 and 5.1
wiping cache + user data yet again
All those tasks complete without seemingly meaningful errors, but after that the phone will still just light up into, now, the “warning bootloader unlocked” screen and just stay there. If, from Recovery, I power down while connected to the computer by USB, it will restart into what will be now be a flat-color version of the circled M with “Powered by Android” below it, but still stay there. Force-restarting it, will bring back the “warning…” screen, and not get past that just as well. I've left it there for hours, both the first time it got stuck on the blue marble screen and with the other two startup screens.
The specific firmwares I tried were:
RETAIL_XT1032_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.61_cid9_CFC.xml.zip
XT1032_FALCON-RETEU_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28.1_1_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
XT1032_FALCON_RETEU_5.1_LPBS23.13-56-2_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
I flashed those firmwares by booting into Fastboot Flash mode. I got fastboot on Mac OS X 10.10 by installing Homebrew and running brew install android-platform-tools.
As per each firmware's XML file, these are the commands I used to flash, for instance, stock-5.0.2:
Code:
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
and these for stock-5.1:
Code:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
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 oem fb_mode_clear
After flashing, I re-wiped cache and user data by booting into Fastboot mode again, from there going to Recovery, and there chosing wipe data/factory reset.
What else can I attempt? How can I even attempt to diagnose what is wrong at all?
EDIT: Just tried reflashing 5.1 for the 25th time, this time using mfastboot instead of fastboot (downloaded from the thread at Moto G General [GUIDE] Moto G - Restore stock firmware, linked as mfastboot-v2.zip and actually named osx-fastboot when uncompressed). After rebooting into the “warning…” screen and leaving it there for some minutes, it changed into the animated blue marble M logo (with concentric waves as like from water drops) and finally booted into the “Welcome” wizard!
