Cannot flash recovery or root on MM - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all, I have a motog with some battery problems, so I thought to root it to install some "battery calibration" software but the most of all require root.
So, since I wiped all, I installed Marshmallow update following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-t3018682
Then, I downloaded this toolkit to unlock the bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/ultimate-moto-g-2014-toolkit-t2979862/page13
Tried to flash the recovery with that but it doesnt works.
So I downloaded THIS toolkit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499926
Also with this, flashing TWRP recovery does not work at all, so I can't proceed to root.
What am I doing wrong?
I also tried to flash the recovery via command line and this is what I get:
flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-titan.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (8724 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.296s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.281s]
finished. total time: 0.577s
But, after that, when I reboot, I see the standard recovery with "no command".
Any help is appreciated!!

Follow this it works perfectly http://www.droidviews.com/install-twrp-root-moto-g-2014-2nd-gen/

Thanks for your help but still doesn't works for me.
Followed these steps:
rebooted by adb on bootloader
flashed twrp 3.0.2.3 titan with the new command "fastboot flash recovery.... "
said OK.
so I tried to switch on and then i rebooted on recovery.
But recovery is still the original, with the little green android telling me "No Command".
What can be??
I can also say, when in bootloader mode I see "AP Fastboot Flash mode" and
Fastboot reason: Reboot mode set to fastboot.
But it seems everything ok to me!
Also I can say that every time phone restarts shows the "Bootloader unlocked logo"

Of course I did.
Otherwise I think the adb command should not work at all!

I'm still stuck with this MOTO G and cannot do anything.
I only have a doubt, since there was a few Firmwares avalaible for this device, what should I download?
I downloaded and installed this: XT1068_TITAN_RETAILDSDS_6.0_MPB24.65-34_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
But I also downloaded this: XT1068_TITAN_RETBR_DS_6.0_MPB24.65-34_cid12_CFC.xml.zip
What's the difference between these two firmware and what should I install on a French dual sim Moto G?

Wow, no one can help?

Hi, how do you do perform this auto-flash-recovery method? I'm having the same issues.
EDIT: Nevermind, I checked the youtube video, but the issue still remains.

[RESOLVED]Did I just brick my phone? Any help at all is appreciated

So in preparation for the kitkat update, I did the following steps:
unrooted within superuser app
flash stock recovery
flash stock boot.img
flash stock system.img
Once I rebooted I downloaded the OTA and tried to install. Now, after that, I wasnt really sure what happened on the phone, as I passed the time by watching a youtube video on my computer. However, I looked back down, and it was inside the bootloader, giving a partition failure of some sort. And when I tried to flash anything, it gave a remote failure error. It won't boot into anything, and it says the device is locked. Can't do mfastboot oem get_unlock_data either, literally nothing but fastboot reboot works
do i have a $650 paper weight on my hands?

Well fastboot starts at least. If you try to reload stock firmware (4.2.2) using rsdlite(not fastboot from a command line) which error do you get?

My device isn't showing up under rsdlite 6.1.4 at all
Sadly then I'm leaning towards it being a pretty looking brick. I've had many flash failures while experimenting with my XT1058s but I have never tried any custom recoveries so they were always recoverable with fastboot and rsdlite.
Hopefully someone else has some suggestions for you to try.
I flashed system.img, recovery.img, and boot.img from the original sbf file. not from the first OTA. and then the phone seems to have locked itself

Had you taken the first OTA already? If you had done that, you should have flashed these files from the new SBF file....
So, when you are in fastboot mode, your device is no longer getting recognized from fasboot command line? What does fastboot devices show?

Ah. there's my problem. I flashed the files from the factory moto X.

Can you try these commands and see if anything changes?
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

After that can you try any of the fastboot flash commands using the new SBF file?

Looks like the CM recovery.. You have a chance of making CM work if you put whatever it is you are trying to flash into your internal storage and not to sdcard..

Verity mode is set to disabled - remove message

Hi, this is my firs post, I hope to be posting in the right place.
I recently unlocked the bootloader and did the root, and everything worked perfectly, however, when I started the device, the message "Verity mode is set to disabled" appears, and although not influencing usability is very annoying.
Can someone give me a hint how to remove this message?
I already tried some of commands via fastboot like:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot enable dm verity
fastboot oem enable_dm_verity
Thank you all for your help

Hmmm. I was talking about the last two replies.
The ones about boot signature. Maybe this tool and method could be adapted.
I read this thread that you mention but still text "Verity mode is set to disabled" will overlap bootpicture. Another thing is that MotoLogoEditor can edit only contents of logo partition and this "Verity..." text appears on bootpicture which is not in logo partition. Bootpicture is /system/media/bootanimation.zip. I think that there's no simple way to remove this text.
On my Moto G6 Plus the issue disappeared after flashing boot.img from Oreo, however, I cannot guarantee that it works on Moto Z3 Play.

You need to put the bootloader or boot file inside the rom folder, replace the previous files and flash the rom completely.

Based on the pm you sent.
Your phone is not in Emergency Download Mode.
You cannot use the blankflash
https://postimg.cc/v4SpCVC2
Looks like your drivers are not correct either.
When device manager see it as moto composite adb,
the device should be in recovery or android OS
When the device in bootloader/fastboot mode
device manager should see it as moto adb
https://postimg.cc/B8Ld3v0S
Also it looks like bootloader is not unlocked.
https://postimg.cc/N9RSyPFZ
even though you see the unlocked bootloader warning
the bootloader screen says
flashing locked
I suspect the bootloader was unlocked, but someone tried the relock
I would while device is in bootloader mode
install Motorola usb drivers
reboot pc
open device manager if it still says composite adb device
select it and change driver to moto adb driver
then reflash firmware for your device and software channel

Is you best option
Try
Code:

If it boot to EDM
If using Windows you will need the

But:
1.

don`t work with relocked BL (
2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../guide-how-to-reboot-to-edl-fastboot-t3394292 - just reboot to fastboot (
Also
Code:
fastboot reboot emergency
rebooting into emergency download (EDL) mode...
OKAY [ 0.003s]
finished. total time: 0.004s
But in fact it reboots to fastboot
Looks bad.. Now I bought the same bricked device and trying to recover it . But it seems it dead (((
P.S. I see you have mata? Is it possible to make blankflash for Essential PH-1?
P.P.S. I have mata in EDL without bankflash and payton with blankflash but without possibility to go to EDL :laugh::laugh::laugh:
UPD
Only one fastboot command "works" with stock boot:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
in this way there are no "verity mode is det to logging"
Device have no recovery for now. Is it possible to boot stock recovery on any way?
UPD2
So - I unbrick it.. But now I have no Internet access and can`t turn on OEM unlocking (baseband unknown and can`t be flashed with locked BL)))...
