Hello Guys im attempting to install TWRP 3.0.2 on my Moto X 2nd Gen 2014 with Android 6.0 Official but im getting an error in my command prompt. I have already attempt to request and an unlock code for unlocking the bootloader but motorolas site state my phone is not authorize for unlocking it.

Yes, the bootloader needs to be unlocked to install a custom recovery (which is stated prior to the first step in the thread you mentioned). At one time there was an"unofficial" bootloader unlock that you might look into.

Will I be forever stuck at 4.2.2 if I cant flash recovery?

I have tried everything I have read on here and I cant seem to flash recovery. I used pwnmymoto to gain root when I first received my moto x. When the camera update came I thought I unrooted and flashed back to stock becasue I was able to get the OTA. Yesterday I could not install the OTA 4.4 because it gave me a error sign. I tried to flash recovery using fastboot but everytime now matter what I do this shows up:
colins-air:Android Tools colinj22$ ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(bootloader) Variable not supported!

Can someone please help me. I am fairly new to fastboot and I am on a Mac and I have read everything in these threads and nothing seems to help. Can I erase everything and somehow start from scratch?
Thank you all!

try using a different fastboot besides the one you are using. also make sure you are trying to flash the right FW version. you can't downgrade FW so it needs to be the FW version that is currently on the device.
try the second link in the OP of this thread for a different fastboot

Flashing recovery requires a unlocked boot loader, you're obviously on Verizon and unless you have a DE moto you can't flash recovery due to your boot loader being locked

Have you flashed the rest of the firmware. You can ignore that bootloader message.

Help with unbricking

Hi,
My friend's Moto G 2nd Gen (XT1068) stopped working all of a sudden couple of days back. When she tried to boot it, it went to bootloader screen (AP Fastboot Flash Mode) and none of the options work in the menu there. The phone had locked bootloader with stock firmware, so no customizations there. I thought may be something got corrupt in the firmware so I tried flashing stock firmware today, followed the instructions from 2 different posts -
1) https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-t3018682
2) https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-5-0-2-lxb22-46-t3019612
However, both of them gave me errors like below for all steps:
Code:
>fastboot devices
ZX1D63BLC6 fastboot
>mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
target max-sparse-size: 256MB
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 5.007s]
writing 'partition'...
(bootloader) Failed to write primary GPT.
(bootloader) Failed to program partition table
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 10.277s
Irrespective of what and how I try, I get failed error every time. Can someone please help me here?
Thanks.

Hey bro i had a similar error when trying to relock my phone after trying some customs roms.
I think it's same problem, it's the firmware version.
Recently Moto G 2014 had an update and if you use old firmware you had these errors, i suggest not to continue.
Some days ago new firmware has been published here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/
XT1068_TITAN_RETAILDSDS_6.0_MPB24.65-34-3_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
http://www.filefactory.com/file/3lc...RETAILDSDS_6.0_MPB24.65-34-3_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
If you look, firmware is 24.65-34-3 and it's that "-3" that makes the difference!
Try to reflash with this firmware.

You're trying to flash an older firmware than the one you're on now. It's going to fail and if it succeeds it will brick your device. you'll need to find a firmware package the same or newer than the one you're on now.
Relocking the bootloader may not be possible many have tried and failed

Flashing stock will not re lock bootloader. But you can find some stock firmwares here
You'll have to see which one you need. I don't know what region your phone is or what firmware is on it.

Can I make these updates through TWRP or should they be made by fastboot?

Not TWRP. These are stock firmware, so fastboot or RSDlite.

This happened to me i Need to unbrick it but the bootloader is locked by the Android Device Manager as well as seen here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...android-aosp-9-0-pie-android-9-0-0r1-t3847354 Someone Please Tell me how I Can unlock my BootLoader Now?
It's almost inpossible to relock your bootloader because you need to have signed that not bad boot.img and ect. As long that you don't have those files you will be unable to relock the bootloader. I have noticed the same thing when i was trying to relock mine bootloader on my moto g6.
