If your phone doesn't turn on after the battery dies, then keep the power button pressed till you see the battery icon. Always connect to a wall charger if the battery is dead after the phone is hard bricked.
Method :
To Enter Fastboot :
1) When your phone is turned off, press the power key and volume down button for around 5-10 seconds and let it go.
2) Connect your phone to your pc via usb.
3) Install the setup provided in the link and press "y" in the window.
To Flash Firmware :
3) Extract the zip which contains a batch file "unbrick.bat", 5.0.2 Firmware & Fastboot.
4) Run the batch file "unbrick.bat"
If your phone is still stuck in a bootloop, I would recommend you to first flash the CWM Recovery using fastboot.
Then, you can sideload a ROM (I used PAC-MAN) using ADB. Then just flash the ROM in CWM. If you need stock, then follow the above steps after successfully booting into PAC-MAN ROM. I have provided all the links above.
That's it, you are done!

The Only Worked Tutorial
this is the only worked tutorial for me. i have tried many tutorials it seems not workin at all.luvd it:good:

I'm glad it worked

Major problems with my XT1033
Hello, please help. I have tried to follow your instructions to unbrick my Moto G XT1033 but I just get the message in the Command Prompt that fastboot is not recognised.
I think my phone was accidently disconnected from the pc when I was trying to flash back to stock firmware from CM11. Since then the phone will not shut down & only shows 0% battery when connected to the mains. It only charges the battery when connected to the PC. I can get to the fastboot screen (please see attached images) & as can be seen the phone confirms usb is connected but the phone is not recognised by the PC. Please help. I have tried all other methods without any success.
Regards
Brian

You did it for me
:good:
Eventually I managed to get fastboot recognised & followed your instructions even though the first few commands seemed to FAIL I continued and I now have a fully working Moto G XT1033
THANK YOU

my device only stuck motorola bootloader unlock

Hey

[Q] XT1034 stuck at Warning Splash screen

So my brother's Moto G recently received the Lollipop OTA. He was rooted at it wouldn't install. So I decided to back it all up at restore it to stock LP for a fresh start.
I used the guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47820707#post47820707
And the firmware here:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/149mdexndh9n/XT1034_FALCON-RETUAWS_5.0.2_LXB22.99-36_19_cid9_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
And I extracted it and it all worked fine blah blah blah....
But now the phone won't boot. It's stuck at the Warning Bootloader Unlocked splash screen. I've tried just about everything i could find on here, such as installing a custom recovery and trying to flash a rom, but that failed.
I tried rolling back to 4.4.4, but it ended with the same result.
He's on T-Mobile, but we bought the unlocked US variant. It is indeed the XT1034, as i checked on the box, on the battery, and on the phone before i bricked it. This isn't my first rodeo i'm not new to this, but this is bugging me and my bro can't be without a phone for long. Any help is appreciated
Annnnd yes i have searched... so please don't start with that.
Here's the most recent attempt at restoring to stock.

system.img was never flashed - you make the same assumption as most people - Fastboot is user-friendly. It is not designed end-users. Look again at what it is saying:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes​
What that means is: Sorry, cannot flash this file.
You should be using mfastboot, available here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567719065
EDIT: Also do the commands one at a time manually.

I wasn't using mfastboot because the bootloader is unlocked. But I'll try with that and get back.
Edit: Thank you! Thank worked. I had initial trouble using mfastboot where it wasn't working but fastboot was, so I continued to use fastboot instead.

Thanksss Dude..... I had that problem and the trick is, use mfastboot.... Thanksssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Flashing to stock recovery rom write fails shield wifi

Hello Everyone,
So my tablet randomly had issues when I woke up a couple of days ago, it will sit at the nvidia splash\boot screen and never get past that. When I try to boot into recovery with power + volume down I will get to the recovery screen. When I choose recovery it will show the android laying down with the red exclamation and say no command under it. This also happens when I flash just the recovery image as well.
I found quite a few people with issues similar to mine, but I keep getting a fail to write error.
I followed this guide http://developer.download.nvidia.com/mobile/shield/ROM/ST8/5_1_0/HowTo-Flash-Recovery-Image.txt and keep getting a write failed error, I tried both the 5.1 and 5.2 images. The output of the command prompt is below.

So does anyone have any more Ideas I could try? Is my device broken? I found some people mentioning that maybe my flash storage chip is bad.
Thank you
Edit: Does anyone know if this is the correct size for it to be reporting on the "target reported max download size of 100663296 bytes" That seems really small like only 100 Mb.

I had the same issue with the dead android, turns out i was using an older version of TWRP, check that first.

Sweet thank you I will check that out right now. I will post an update on what happens.
--edit actually I am not using TWRP I thought you were referring to adb/fastboot for some reason.
Also does anyone know if there a way to run diagnostics to see if my internal storage is fried it keeps failing to write so it might be that unfortunately.
I did not find much with a search I might not be using the correct terms. when I do fastboot getvar recovery, all, or anything for that mater it stays
Code:
D:\Downloads\nv-recovery-st-wx-na-wf-5.2.0>fastboot getvar recovery

if you're bootloader is unlocked then just flash TWRP Recovery and flash custom ROMs.

I've tried flashing via TWRP.
I've followed this guide
Downloaded ABD FASTBOOT and extracted into a folder on my desktop i've also downloaded twrp-3.2.3-0-peregrine.img and put that in the same folder but renamed it recovery.img
I then shift right click > open command window here
I then type
fastboot devices
TA00303RVM fastboot
Then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img but all i'm getting is errors??

I have similar issue on Moto G Falcon.
The fastboot factory images fail to write partitions. Also can't flash custom Roms. And this was sudden in the middle while I was using custom rom and the phone rebooted on its own one day and never booted up again.

cannot enter TWRP recovery ("no command" message)

Hi I flashed my recovery to TWRP recovery, but unfortunately if I enter recovery mode in boot menu I'll get "no command" screen and I have no idea what causes that.
commands I ran:
Code:

thanks for help.

temporaly solved
I tried to use "fastboot boot" and this works well, and since I need TWRP only temporaly this solution is sufficient for me.
