Yes, I don't change recovery. I always write stock firmware using that guide.

I am facing the same problem. .if i try to flash anything via mfastboot it gives an error of failed to erase partition..please help

Got mine working after similar problem for days...cm 14.1 installed
guys the only solution i worked out for this problem is..
1. unlock bootloader (not sure if it is a must)
2. using fastboot boot into twrp version 3.1.x.x or later using comamd
mfastboot boot twrpimagename.img
3.flash a twrp img file to the recovery from there i can confirm versions 3.1.1.0 and 3.1.0.0...
nb. you can install it to either boot partition or recovery either will do
4. use ur newley istalled recovery to install a twrp compatible rom, either stock or custom...
there u go

XT1032 - broken partitions

I was on latest stock German retail firmware and unlocked the bootloader and then tried to flash twrp via fastboot. Somehow the recovery didn't boot
and I've tried to reflash stock 5.1 firmware. Now the partition table or bootloader seems broken:
It reports Bootloader 41.1A in fastboot and "Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3"
Using the stock flash method every partition seems to be gone:
All partitions report back: "(bootloader) has-slot:xxx: not found", I can still format system partition.
Code:

I only have Linux systems around to play with adb and fastboot. No chance to use blankflash windows tools. Any idea how I can unbrick the phone?

Depending on the distro, root is required to run fastboot properly. For example, in Ubunutu the command is: sudo fastboot devices

"root" is in front of the command line

Just to be sure, you are running this in as an Administrator command window, correct?
It's bricked... Nothing is writing to the internal storage and everything is coming back FAILED. Seen a few of these recently​, if it was a different error we might be able to do something but doing 'fastboot oem fb_mode_set' should never give an error.

That's what I was wondering. And yes I am running Administrator Command Window.
I am just keeping my fingers crossed that someone can help me resolve the issue.

Strange issue on my moto g3(XT1550)

I have a strange issue on my moto g3 (XT1550) after installing RR 9 official 19052019 ROM with pico gapps after some days I can't access the twrp, I mean when I'm booting on twrp it's only show the logo of twrp and then reboot the system.
Also the developers option not present in ROM or it disappeared.
Phone is non rooted.
Not able to reset phone.
Not able to change lock screen.
Anyone knows what's going on?

Phone status.
& errors when trying to install twrp.

Fastboot boot twrp.img also can't boot recovery.
After fastboot -w command,
again flashed recovery and it booted but can't mount system, data & cache, showing invalid argument.
It solved by repairing file system.
Now working fine.
