A couple questions: first, did you use any of the root 'exploits' before you unlocked the bootloader? If you did then you need to return to Stock before you can flash custom recovery.
Did you use 'mfastboot' to flash TWRP? If not, try that.
There is one individual I helped that had a similar issue. We never figured out what the problem was, but I had him follow the instructions in the "Return to Stock" thread to flash the entire Stock SBF for their carrier, and afterwards the recovery flashed PERFECT. If you do this, be SURE to flash ONLY the same version you are currently on. Do NOT 'downgrade' or flash an earlier firmware version.
Now you have some ideas. Let us know if they help resolve your issue.

Questions go in the Q&A section.

@FlexZer0,
As @samwathegreat mentioned, if you have rooted using something like SlapMyMoto, RockMyMoto, or PwnMyMoto, or have used MotoWpNoMo on this phone, you'll probably want want to flash your full SBF to get back to stock. (make sure you use the EXACT same rom as what is currently on your phone!!! do NOT attempt to downgrade!!)
In addition to that, something that is VERY important... immediately after flashing custom recovery, you want to reboot into bootloader/fastboot mode and go into recovery. You do NOT want to flash recovery and then reboot normally. For some reason this step is necessary or the recovery doesn't "stick." For example, see steps 8 & 9 at -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/step-step-instructions-unlocking-t2649738
Now, if you follow that entire process, please keep in mind it was written/posted a while ago, so it has older links to mFastboot, TWRP and SuperSU...
The latest can be found at the following:

how are you trying to boot recovery? did you notice the legend?:
Vol Up: Selects
Vol Down: Scrolls

Thanks for the replay guys I know how to boot to the recovery and how to get into the fastboot mode. And I have moto x carrier free which means it's does not locked with the carrier like AT&T and Verizone etc. So whenever I searched for the exploits I only found the exploits for carrier locked versions of moto x.

How exactly did you "unlock" the bootloader? From Motorola's official website?

Yup from motorola's website. I got bootloader unlocked warning screen while booting and boot loader status: unlocked in fastboot mode so I'm pretty sure it's unblocked.

OK, good.
Did you try my advice from Post # 2? Flashing the entire Stock SBF for your carrier? Then after a successful boot, flash TWRP again, and afterwards, type:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then use VOL DOWN to select recovery, and VOL UP to select it?

[Q] Stuck on Fastboot

Hi everybody,
A few days ago, I rooted my Mexican XT1225. I shut it down for a day (my main cellphone is the new Moto X), turn it on again and now it's stuck on fastboot.
I could boot into TWRP (by flashing it temporarily with fastboot on Linux) and then I decided to wipe data and then install the new lollipop zip file. But it failed saying it could not mount /system /data or anything really, I basically have it without format, all partitions say 0MB.
So I tried flashing with fastboot, but it gave me an error when flashing the partition gpt.bin, it didn't give me an error when flashing other files. Still stuck, now I cannot even access the recovery menu, it goes just into fastboot mode and does not show the little recovery menu anymore.
Then I tried flashing with RSD, still same problem. It fails when setting the fb_mode_set and when I delete that line from the xml it fails again on flashing gpt.bin
EDIT: I am attaching a log file of TWRP evidencing this.
Any ideas on how to get back to normal? How can I redo the partition in another way?
Thanks in advance,
Gustavo

Yes, unlocked bootloader. Removed the gpt.bin flash line and still no luck. Tried flashing several files, the Indian Lollipop, the Mexican Kitkat, nothing has worked.

After re reading your post I understood what's wrong, you have to flash the lollipop OTA on stock recovery not twrp or rsd lite, once you flash it you can put back twrp

I have the xml.zip file, extracted it and manually flashed partition by partition. Something I have previously done with my 1st gen Moto X, my Razr HD and even my Atrix, if I remember correctlly. Even RSD Lite should work with those files.
Still, I will try to boot with the stock recovery, since right now I cannot access it. I will also seek a way to get the xml.zip file inside the storage, since I cannot even mount it with TWRP (It shows 0mb drive)

Twrp for this device it's not very stable I got that errors too
Just flash mexico firmware then the OTA zip on stock recovery and you will be good to go.
If you can't access recovery press vol- and power with the phone turned off and you'll be able to select recovery

Hi,
I have tried the vol+power and cannot access recovery.
When I try to flash Mexico's firmware (through either RSD or manually in Linux using fastboot), I am unable to flash partition gpt.bin, but I can flash everything else. Yet, in spite of flashing everything else, I cannot get out of the fastboot loop.

I am attaching some photos of what happens. The first one is the only thing that boots, cannot access recovery, cannot boot normally. The second photo is what happens when I press the volume button many times.

So when you select recovery does it power off or just go back to fastboot again?

Hi, I dan only go yo fastboot. The menú does not appear. The only thing that appears is the photo of my previous post.
I can boot into TWRP by manually doing fastboot boot twr-recovery.IMG

Hmmm, doesn't look good. The fastboot screen doesn't even load the picture of the green Android. I am thinking the partition table is messed up. I know I saw something similar with the original(2013) Moto X a while back. You may want to do some searching in that forum.

Hola Steve,
Indeed, it looks like the partition table is messed up, I will look for that Moto X thread.
@Jaocagomez I have tried that, but it fails with gpt.bin partition flash and even after flashing everything else (RSD, fastboot or TWRP) it does not work.

After reading quite a lot on the Internet, it seems that my problem happened to some Moto G and Moto X users. Seems to be that I am trying to flash a gpt.bin that is older than the one already in my phone. I will try again when the Mexican Lollipop image is released in xml.zip format.
In the mean time, I will continue to search for solutions.

Hi
I think I have the same issue.
I have XT1225 bought it from Amazon (I asked the company and they said Puerto Rico origin) factory unlocked. had 4.4.4 and tried to upgrade to 5.0.2. Here is what I exactly did:
devices not rooted, locked bootloader
downloaded RSD Lite
downloaded the official 5.0.2 India Firmware
tried to flash it using RSD
got an error in flashing boot from RSD
I tried to do it again and I get the same issue, I tried to flash the Puerto Rico 4.4.4 and it didnt work (it get stuck in partition gpt) and my device is dead. I tried to unlock the bootloader using the code from motorola and it says allow oem unlock from developer menu
tried doing it manually using mfastboot with both 5.0.2 and 4.4.4 and still didnt work.
please let me know if you managed to fox your problem or if anyone can help us get back our devices

[urgent] cannot connect to mobile network

after bootloader unlocking my phone, I was at first unable to use the wifi after fastbooting an .img that was featured in @SharkcpN 's tread. I was trying to root my phone when the .img file made me unable to join the wifi. After several attempts to get back wifi, i was able to do so (using a different ROM). But now I am unable to access the mobile network. I have tried using other SIM cards but no results. please help!

I have already unlocked my bootloader, but I thought at first that a root was necessary so i fastbooted the img file which was shown on http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/xt1063-t3018818 . The NA root was different compared to the other variants and after flashing the img, I lost WiFi. After attempts, I was able to get wifi working but with the sacrifice of the mobile network. If anyone is able to maybe find a possible problem and solution that would be great.

My cell came in bootloop, I loaded the original rom by adb fastboot, and everything comes out correct in the load, however, follow the bootloop.
In recovery mode does nothing, re-enter bootloop always.
Has it happened to someone else?

Are you sure you flashed mcg24.251-5-5 (with extra -5 at the end?) And not the previous (mcg24.251-5-5) which would give you a bootloop? You can't flash a lower version with a locked bootloader.
You're not trying to use the temp root posted in another thread as perpetual temp are you? That also causes bootloop. It's posted here in this forum only for using Sunshine to unlock the bootloader.
Just curious, is your bootloader unlocked?

hi.
I am sure you will try with the rom 5-5
At the end of flashing, everything gave me "OK" (radio, boot, bootloader ...)
I remember if I install the sunshine, but in the end I do not know how to use it. Thinks that maybe that caused the damage.
No, my bootloader is locked.

I just flashed the ROM with the rsd and it get in the bootloop when I restarted the phone.
How can I flash this initiroot? Does it came in the Root's folder? I flash this before the stock room? I'm confused, sorry about that hehehehe.
Thanks for all attention!

if you use the auto#initroot tethered jailbreak tool in before , just run it again.
I get this moto logo reboot problem in few days before, and I read many page for get this answer.
the temp root tool use some system issue , and it will cause this xt1254 boot loop issue , just run the auto#initroot.windows.bat again . phone will reboot to normally.

H81120x OTA update out. Has anyone still using stock updated to this version?

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-28979
Pushed out December 5th, H81120x, just over 79MB, described as "Google monthly security enhancements".
I've forgotten where OTA update files are downloaded too. Can anyone refresh my memory?
Thanks!

This is good to know. Any idea if I need to be worried about the phone being rooted\xposed? This is my first Android device in many years and can't remember how to handle OTAs.

I think since the H811 has an unlocked bootloader the easiest way is going to be flashing the stock recovery through TWRP, reboot, install the OTA, and then fastboot back into TWRP and reinstall it. (Unless it keeps root through Magisk or something and then you can just use the TWRP app rooted to reinstall)

I'm not rooted so no worries. Its there a stock recovery image somewhere or do i need to extract one from the 20v kdz

So is there a directory where the OTA is downloaded to? I have the KDZ for 20v but I can't get a valid cab file to extract the DZ when I use LGExtractor (this is when I'm trying to extract the stock recovery.img).

Update file
Here is the update file for 20x, i extracted it from the /cache directory. I tried to flash it via TWRP but there is some ID checker that errors out and fails to install on TWRP

THIS MIGHT FACTORY RESET YOUR PHONE. BE SURE YOU ARE OKAY WITH THAT.
1: make sure you've enabled Developer Options in settings (go to About Phone, tap the Build Number a bunch until it pops up saying you've enabled developer options.
2: Make sure you've enabled bootloader unlock in Developer options
3: make sure your device's ADB drivers are installed. The phone comes with the resource CD built in, so you can always use that to make sure it is set up
4: run ADB on your computer, type adb reboot fastboot to get into fastboot mode. The phone should reboot. If it does not, recheck steps 1, 2, and 3.
5: type "fastboot oem unlock". This it should report it as OK or Success. If so, type fastboot reboot. It may or may not factory reset your phone at this point. It didn't with mine but YMMV.
6: once Android has booted, follow the steps to install TWRP. Same steps as above but you'll be booting a TWRP image instead and then flashing it.

No problem here, try to reset the phone or at least clear the cache of camera.

So my phone finally presented me with the OTA, but it fails to install because of TWRP (expected). I grabbed the update.zip and did the basic modification to allow me to flash it via TWRP but it still fails. LG Bridge doesn't get past checking software version. I am running stock, rooted with Magisk, RCTD removed and some minor root-free debloat (The "uninstall apps for user 0" trick)
What LG OEM apps are required to get LG Bridge to work?
Edit: Could I dirty flash a full stock ROM over it (including stock recovery) to get the OTA to work and then just debloat again?)

Does the KDZ file only come from LG? I wonder if I can update and then somehow extract KDZ to share with everyone...
