Hi, sorry for creating a new thread but I posted in two different related threads i didn't get any answers.
I was given thus moto g 2nd gen xt1064 us version, with unlocked bootloader, status code:3, the phone powers on and go through the boot animation then turns blank with a faint backlight and stays there until battery drain.
What i did so far.
I booted into recovery and made cache and data wipe. Didn't work.
I flashed a stock firmware (5.02 btw) through fastboot with bootloader lock, everything went well according to log, but same result won't go past bootanimation.
I noticed the bootloader is still unlocked even though the relock command was successful, also phone is not detected by my pc except in fastboot mode.
Any suggestions?

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.
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!

Great! Glad it helps
Enjoy the lollipop Sweet my friend.
Hi
I have an AT&T XT1058 with locked bootloader, on 4.4.4
I tried to rest it to factory, but it got stuck on 'Erasing...' (with the little droid) for more than an hour, so I reset it.
Since then it won't boot, only keep stuck on 'Erasing...'. I've tried reflashing it with ATT_XT1058_4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26_CFC_1FF both using RSD lite and manually using mfastboot, but no luck - the phone still boots to 'Erasing...' and sometimes after that to the recovery.
I didn't find anything in relevant threads. Does anyone have an idea?
Selecting 'Factory' in the bootloader seemed to fix it.
It is more comlicated than that
The phone does boot after selecting 'factory' in bootloader, but only once - turning the phone off and on again brings it back to its 'erasing...' state. Besides that the phone seems to not be able to charge the battery

Were you able to get this resolved? I have a xt1095 doing the same thing when I flash a stock recovery. Just shows the android guy and just stuck at erasing... When I flash TWRP it doesn't get stuck at the "erasing..." anymore but just boots straight into TWRP.
Sorry for the late response, I missed the notification on your message.
I wasn't able to fix it, returned it to motorola.
Hello, I was downgrading a XT 1095 from 5.1 to 5.0 by flashing the system image found on Motorola's website and using Motorola's instructions. The phone goes thorough the normal boot sequence and then the screen goes blank. The potentially good news is that I can still access fastboot and recovery mode. Am I bricked? Thanks for any help.
Edit: never mind. I wiped all user data in recovery and that seems to have done the trick.
Hello all,
I have been using my Pixel 4 XL for years, and all of a sudden it shut down, and now it keeps being stuck in a booting loop.
I get to Google's logo and the loading animation ... and then it turns black, and starts all over, in a loop.
I am able to access the bootloader and recovery mode.
I tried a complete wipe through recovery mode, didn't change anything.
I wanted to flash original images, but the bootloader is locked and I haven't found any way to unlock it without going through the phone settings (which doesn't boot anymore).
All fastboot flashing related commands fail stating my device is locked.
Would you have any suggestion ?
Anything I should try before considering my device is completely dead ?
Thanks in advance

Try sideloading an OTA image. You can do that with a locked bootloader.
Thanks Lughnasadh
I've tried multiple times, and the process fails randomly, at different percentages ...
The phone suddenly reboots and the laptop displays " adb: failed to read command: No error"
The weird thing is it doesn't reboot and can stay up for super long while on the bootloader.
With a locked bootloader the rescue OTA (full OTA image flashed via adb) is all you have. I would try a different data cable (A-to-C) first and then move to a different computer. Make sure the new PC is running the latest adb/fastboot binaries. This is why I unlock the bootloader on every Pixel in my family. Even though they will never root the phone, if the fit hits the shan you have many more options. BTW, I just traded in my son's P4XL and got $285 trade-in on a 6a. Net cost was less than $150. The deal just ended but will likely come back again. Same deal was offered earlier but included a pair of first-gen earbuds. Wish you luck on getting your old phone working. The P4XL is still my primary phone and is still working well.
