Moto G Titan (XT1068) Recovery and stock rom issue - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I've got an issue with Moto G 2014 titan - whenever I try to wipe data or made factory reset following error comes up (pls also see att):
E:
blkdiscard on partition /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata failedData wipe failed
What I've already tried to do:
- flash new recovery TWRP/CWM using ADB - the recovery does not show up only stock one - tired many versions of titan one with no luck at all
- flash new stock rom from 4.4.4. up to 6.0 - whenever tried to flash kitkat or lollipop error with 'validated' version comes up
Now the main issue is I cannot flash any recovery and even though cannot flash any ROM because after flash boot animation shows up and then black screen.
Also a guy who gave me this phone had already unlocked bootloader.
Do not know really what to do next with this...
Have you guys ever encountered similar issue? I've searched this forum fro over 4hours now and tried many many solutions with no luck at all...
Please HELP !

[Q] HELP! Boot loop and Mythtools freezing when flashing stock firmware

Okay, I have an Atrix HD that I have rooted and unlocked the bootloader and I have been running the SlimKat ROM with little to no problems and Philz Touch recovery for about a week until yesterday when my phone reset itself and started to boot loop. They only other thing I had flashed was a new logo to get rid of that stupid unlocked bootloader warning. I am fairly savvy when it comes to rooting and flashing roms because I have done this for years with various Samsung devices but the Motorola is a little new to me with having Fastboot.
Let me tell you what I have tried...
I first did a factory data reset in Philz and that did nothing.... then I tried to recover it back to my stock rom that I was running before using a nandroid backup that I had made with Philz Touch and same thing happened, it just sticks in boot loop. I then try to flash the PAC rom after I do a factory data reset and all the wipes I need to flash a new rom in Philz Touch to see if I can get a different rom to load and nothing happens but boot loop again.
Next I go to the forums to find answers and I start to set up my ADB on my computer... After I get ADB setup I first do fastboot -w to do a factory data reset through fastboot, download the stock Mexican rom and tried to flash all the components individually with ADB in fastboot the way skeevydude mentioned in one of his threads (sorry I can't remember which one) and I got a failed error "FAILED (remote failure)" when I tried to flash the system.img.
I then went to Mythtools v1.3 because I thought that I was doing something wrong with the ADB and fastboot... I put the stock Mexico retail rom into the firmware folder in Mythtools and tried to flash the stock firmware through Mythtools. Mythtoold froze when it rebooted the fastboot at 50 of 100%
Now I am at a loss, I have done everything that I know to try to fix this and I have searched everywhere for help and I need help. This is they only phone that I have because I just switched over to to a new carrier and just purchased this phone.
Any help would be appreciated!
UPDATE
I went into Philz Touch and formatted the /system so I could try and flash it again and now the phone boots straight to fastboot and Philz touch if I hold volume+ and power. I am going to download the stock mex retail rom and try and flash it through Philz touch.
UPDATE
I got an Error mounting /data when I tried to format the /data and when I tried to intall the Mexico retail rom I got a "set_perm: some changes failed E:Error in /storage/sdcard1/Atrix HD Mexico Retail 4.1.2.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted."
UPDATE
I formatted /data and /data media in Philz Touch and then it started mounting /data so I wiped and install PAC rom and it booted up just fine.

[HELP] Moto X Probably bit the dust

hey guys, here's my story
i have a moto x from movistar argentina, my last official firmware was 4.4.4 with bootloader 30.B7, i was running cm12 latest nightly before 12.1, i decided to flash 12.1 to get rid of the annoying cell standby draining bug, dirty flashed it and gapps, all was fine. decided to try xposed because i need a patch to disable the proximity sensor since mine is not working.
here's where problems started. i got bootloops all over the place, decided to restore my nandroid backup i made 10 minutes ago. the problem is everytime TWRP tried to format or write data to /data/, the phone just restarted. well, i decided not to panic and download an official firmware package, 4.4.4 argentina unbranded to be more specific (couldn't find any movistar rom)
tried with rsd lite, it hangs while writing system, tried manual flash with mfastboot, it also hangs while flashing the last chunk of system. of course the phone doesn't boot.
i'm getting kinda desperate atm, can someone throw me a life saver here?
tried to format system with both fastboot and mfastboot and both give errors, when trying to ERASE system it just shows bootloader permission denied
Got it to work again
if anyone is facing the same problems i am facing right now, just flash stock recovery and do a factory reset there, then manually flash custom recovery and restore nandroid backup.

Moto g 2014 xt1068 indian ver stuck in boot loop

I did not face this exact error, but have faced error like image verification failed and my phone was bricked. Installing stock Lollipop didn't help. So I installed stock Kitkat via fastboot, and it worked, my phone booted successfully to Kitkat. Later I upgraded to Lollipop. Try this and let me know if it works.

As it was a soft brick
I was searching so many links in xda

XDA forums really helped me :good:

Soft brick MOTO X XT1052

I was trying to flash custom rom to my phone but keep on getting "error executing updater binary in zip" . Trying out the options I accidentaly wiped internal storage and with it the recovery. Now i am not having any OS in my phone
I have downloaded couple of rom from Cyanogen for MOTO X (ghost) but each of them give same error ,using twrp 2.8.7.0 as recovery (haven't tried by changing with other because its the only thing left there)
Also tried
flasing custom ROM
but here the problem is "downgraded security version update gpt_main version failed"
Was running on Android 5.1 before this all happened
PLEASE HELP DONT WANT T HARD BRICK MY PHONE
You have to flash stock rom using Rsd lite and u will be good to go
can't find a stock rom asia retail android 5.1
and can't flash 4.4 it shows downgraded security version update gpt_main version
Use the TWRP here (thanks to @rrvvrr) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3171698&d=1424260997
Its 2.8.5.0. it resolves the script error on xt1052 which official verions have.
Here's the XT1052 IMAGE https://mega.nz/#!U9lRFBgD!POchMYI96ZTy16M_PGSZ4aIjo6ktpaHKaJAmp6XBUR4
while flashing the new recovery to my device using cmd is there any risk for hard brick(when I wont be able to open custom recover or bootloader)

I recommend you flash the factory image through RSDLite once and then proceed to flash CM if you want
rsd dosen't recognize device
I just have the firmware of android 4.4 for my device but lastly it was running on 5.1 so i need that and i cant find that for my device
Can you please describe the step by step procedure to do
Thanks

My phone wiped everything and is bricked atm. I'm trying to flash the image you posted here but it fails every time at the partition and system stages. It won't work in RSDLite so I tried doing it in cmd but fails at those two points. Do you know why this might be?
Thanks

help Moto G 2 1078, can't install any rom

Good night guys, first of all I'm sorry if the text is confusing, English is not my strong point, i'm Brazilian.
I had the cyanogenmod in my phone(Moto g thea 1078) and as it was giving so many problems I decided to change the rom to the crDroid, but by a huge oversight of my part when I wipe I marked all the options, now I am not able to install any rom, not even the stock rom, some I can install by twrp without any error (crDroid, Viper), but when I try restart the system after installing twrp says that I am without any rom's installed, and if I ignore and restart anyway my cell phone is eternally on the logo screen, there is only one rom that I was able to install and start the phone, the 1068 rom stock, but chips and wifi doesn't work, when I'm going to install a 1078 stock of error in primary_gpt, in boot and the sparsechunks
"version downgraded for primary_gpt
version downgraded for boot
e img is too big for the sparsechunk"
does anyone have any ideas to help me?
Copy a proper ROM for Thea and Gapps on a micro SD card using a computer or a friend's phone, then place the SD card on your phone and install it through TWRP.
Of course you needed to wipe everything - you always need to delete everything before flashing new ROM, just NOT the external storage, because that's where your installation package is. Try any of the following (some of them don't have SuperSU included, so you will have to flash it separately):
- Viper or
- [proper] crDroid or
- DarkNess reDefined or
- Paranoid Android etc.
Don't forget about the Gapps package and SuperSu (the zip file).
Good luck.
i'v tried this once, doesn't work, but now i can't even install twrp or similar recoverys, always gives an erro "mismatched partition size (recovery)", i google it and people says that this error is normal, the twrp should start even with this errro, but when i start the recovery i got 'boot up failed' or starts the original recovery

Your phone is crippled for life, you installed a firmware for the wrong device. Go install a Titan ROM and TWRP, there is nothing to do. Your phone is an XT1068 now. You lost your LTE ability forever.
