Hello,
I rooted my phone and flashed a CM12 Nightly a week or so ago. The phone was working fine right until today morning. Over the past week, I've installed a few themes, a boot animation, Titanium backup, Device Control (haven't changed anything), SuperSU, apart from the regular play store apps. Today, I rebooted my device, and it shut down, but isn't turning on. Neither the normal bootup or into recovery.
I found this link, but it's for KitKat, and I'm not sure if I should go for it or not:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-revive-hard-bricked-moto-g-t2833798
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Can you get into fastboot mode?

press and hold the power and volume down button for at least 10 seconds till the screen goes off then let go of ONLY POWER BUTTON while still holding the volume down button this will boot your device into bootloader...you can do this with or without usb connected... hope i helped you
actually, with this root it takes its sweeeet time to boot. just leave it and it will boot. it just takes a little bit for some reason

You had Android L originally correct? Did you know that in the changelog for the OTA that it says you CAN'T downgrade to another version of android after the update? I'm not 100% sure but I don't think you can flash a 4.4.4 system image anymore. So now you might have to wait for the System Image of Lollipop for the XT1064 to be released. I don't know how long that might be.
What were the failures you faced when you tried to flash the system images? Do you remember if anything flashed at all?
Also, the root method for the XT1064 causes takes it's time to boot past the unlocked bootloader warning; as NiekoNieves said. If you know nothing was flashed then you could leave it on for a few minutes and check if it boots into L.
I could only find three references to boot loop in the Moto G troubleshooting area...so here I type.
phone is XT1064
Was trying to side load Lollipop. Got to the boot menu no problem...when I selected Recovery the phone rebooted and got stuck on the Moto logo screen "powered by android."
I'm able via external reset get back to the boot menu, but whatever option I choose I end up looping...
Just spent a couple of hours with Moto tech support...painful, avoid if possible. The script pages were turning so fast I thought there were wind gusts in the tech office!
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

did you have your xt1064 rooted? i have mine rooted in lollipop, i also have the boot loop when starting sometimes, so far you can uninstall root via super user app and solve the problem or have patience untill some good developer fix this problem, to get out of the boot loop i find that connecting to charger the phone does the trick for me, it take like 3 minutes to start, if i uninstall root it starts very fast, im waiting for a solution.
So today I set about unlocking the bootloader and rooting my Moto X 2014 Pure Edition XT1095.
Unlocking the bootloader went just fine. Then I went to root it. I booted the pure2014sb.img but it didn't work. The phone would just hang on the Motorola logo. Then I read somebody later said that doesn't work on lollipop, so I booted the CF-Auto-Root-victara-victaratmo-xt1095.img instead. That showed me the rooting status page thing before it rebooted, and then rebooted again, but when it fired up after that it was still hanging on the Motorola logo.
Then I attempted this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56928477#post56928477
Now the phone will not even hang on the logo, it gets to the animated moto logo part and then turns off half way through. I cannot get back into fastboot state either. It just doesn't respond to power + vol down at all.
EDIT: Actually scratch the not being able to get into fastboot state thing. I just had to hold the buttons down for way longer than normal. I just kept holding them until it showed something. It ended up being like 15 seconds instead of 3-4 like usual.
Help!

Same happened to me early this morning when I was trying to install 5.0.2
You have to flash any firmware you want just avoid to flash the modem and there ate several post here in the general section
Just remember. Don't flash the modem unless is the same firmware you have or else you will lose signal.
Regards
Thanks for the input. I used the instructions in this thread to get my phone back to working condition:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-update-xt1095-pure-edition-to-t2937074
I was unable to get it to pick up the 4.4.4 to 5.0 update zip in recovery mode, so I just used the regular OTA update to do it. After that I booted the CF-Auto-Root-victara-victaratmo-xt1095.img and it worked!

Enjoy the lollipop Sweet my friend.
Hello everyone,
I have a boot loader unlocked Moto X 2013, running stock lollipop 5.1 222.21.15.ghost_row.AsiaRetail.en.03. Previously i had rooted and installed various custom ROM but in order to get the lollipop updated flashed stock firmware through RSD lite and successfully got the lollipop update. Recently the phone had been acting weridly with apps crashing or getting stuck so i manually cleared the cache and factory reset through recovery.
Since then the phone is working perfectly but the boot animation has changed and i cant find any reference or image of this boot animation on the net plus i dont like it at all. Any one else faced this issue and how do i get it back to the stock boot animation??
Motorola Boot Services!!

Whenever Motorola Boot Services app receives an update (or after a System Update) we can expect a new boot animation.
Previously there have been 3 or 4 boot animations. (one during FIFA Worldcuo, one during Spring, etc) and till now they were seasonal (the old animation got back after few weeks)

Hello I am pretty new to this forum but I have a serious problem with my phone.
I installed Cyanogenmod (cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K9-falcon.zip) and everything worked perfectly. After that, I put open gapps. (open_gapps-arm-5.1-mini-20160311.zip) and nothing worked anymore. I had a boot loop and could not get to recovery.
So I tried this guide (How to restore Moto G (1st Gen) from softbrick after Android 5.0 Lollipop update on InternationalBusinessTimes ) which did not help. After that, my phone shows a android symbol with a red exclamation mark when I try to get to recovery mode and for normal boot, it still shows only the bootunlock warning.
