Unbrick method.

So you've bricked your phone. Well as long as the boot loader works then your "brick" is just a soft-brick. Follow this simple guide and flash a custom rom in a couple of minutes. I am not claiming ownership of this method, but its the first time Ive seen it and it helped me so here Good Luck!
Download the attachments.
Unzip both files to a folder on your desktop.
Run the adb setup file and press (Y) all 3 times.
Next unzip the twrp.zip folder. Then flash the twrp recovery by using the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" command. Make sure phone is in fastboot mode.
Next boot the phone into the recovery and select advanced. Then click on terminal command and navigate to the /sdcard/ folder.

Lastly click "select" on the bottom right corner.
Now download whatever rom and gapps you would like to install on your phone and rename them to something short. Then open a command prompt at the directory where the rom and gapps are. In the command prompt enter these commands "adb push NAMEOFROM.zip /sdcard/" and "adb push NAMEOFGAPPS.zip /sdcard/".
The command prompt will not show change for a few minutes. After you notice the command prompt is ready for the next command it is okay to exit it.
Now just flash the rom and gapps normally and hopefully your phone will be okay.
Need any additional help? Feel free to ask This should work on all Moto G models that have a TWRP image and have a bootloader unlocked.

my problem got resolved.........
actually driver was the only problem which was not allowing ADB to detect device in RECOVERY mode, though device was detected in FASTBOOT mode
So I reinstall the driver to get ADB Interface installed in system> device manager
and then followed your remaining steps i.e. 6 onwards
Thanks a lot.....

Not really sure about the following, but I hard-bricked my phone while rooting it a few days ago. Black screen, phone wasn't visible in ADB / fastboot, LED didn't change after plugging in the charger etc.
The only thing that helped: holding the power button for at least 2 minutes. The device restarted afterwards w/o any issues.
Can't find the source of it anymore ...

Very useful guide, I revived my soft - bricked Moto G

still not working

My Moto G is working again since one week with stock 4.4.2. I had to do it ain a bit different way...
First, I could get into bootloader and recovery. after several hours my pc recognizes my phone again, but till now I don't know why and how.
Wanted to reflash stock 4.4.2 kitkat again, but this won#t work. so I figured out that after unpacking, I had to replace the gpt.bin with the one from the 4.4.4 stock update. (see down as zip file)
Then I flashed the 4.4.2 stock again to my phone and all went well. It started again. (now I'm on stock recovery)
If you want to do the OTA 4.4.4 Update, there have to be a few things on your phone, otherwise update always fails.
1. if you have x-posed frameworks installed - uninstall it completely
2. if rooted, go into super su preferences and activate unroot all
3. do not activate developper options, or if done before, just uncheck the mark
4. you must be on stock recovery!
5. restart your phone
6. now search after update in about phone.
if bootloader is unlocked - doesn't matter - can stay unlocked
with me it first installed the 176.* OTA because my flashed stock was still 175.*
this went well, then again searched for update and 210.* (4.4.4 kitkat) could be downloaded ota. after it was done, click to install and it should work well - took a bit time.
now you are on stock 4.4.4, but without root atm.
if you want root back - now flash the newest twpr recovery 2.7.7.1 to phone, because here an OTG USB stick will be also recognized - OTG cable needed before. (don't need to push files first to phone)
copied before the su.zip to usb stick and sticked it to phone, then go into recovery. here you can install super user or better su.zip. restart phone and you got your root back on 4.4.4 stock kitkat rom

I solved this issue with twrp sideload.It worked great.

Thanks it worked for me..BUT !!!
Hi and thanks a lot.. it worked for me but you have to add some more option for who are still having troubled in unbricking. like i had..
but it can't be done without your method as on OP..
how i got bricked !!! my Moto g dual (indian)
i tried to downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 to flash custom Rom and got system partition corrupt.
again i tried to flash stock images but no use, actual problem was System and data was not formatting.
even if you try million times and you can never successfully flash stock images without error..
however i was checking many threads in xda to resolve this problem but couldn't figured it out, as i was not new to XDA i had confidence that i can come out from this issue. until this thread gave me a hint but not a solution but still this thread is a part of the solution
let come to the unbricking method (only for those who cant flash Stock firmware from fastboot)
Reboot to fastboot..
flash Philz recovery first. get it from here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639626
better to use Kernel Flasher by my old buddy Ghostfreak NB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2214724,
you just need to extract and copy the recovery to extracted kernel Kernel_Flashing_Tool_v2.0 in IMG folder and run kernel Kernel_Flashing_Tool_v2.0.bat.
press 1 and it will flash recovery, press enter it will reboot to Philz recovery,
now format System, data and whatever you can!!\
next reboot to Bootloader from Recovery,
and then follow procedure as OP
if you want to flash stock rom get from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/4-4-3-moto-g-stock-rom-t2804891 and adb push as advise by OP. now you have stock rom running without any issues
Edit..
You can also flash custom ROMs with ease.
Note you better flash recovery through kernel flasher tool..

I haven't actually bricked my phone but looks like my ROM.
So, I am trying to make a ROM previously in First Built the ROM didn't even wrote System [That was my fault as I wrote the the 'system' folder in Zip as 'System' and in update scripts 'system' to be extracted in '/system']
But , now the ROM has written /system but remains on Warning Boot loader Locked screen and starts to warm up I have tried Installing Kernels to fix it but no luck please help.
Device->Moto G Falcon XT1033
ROM Details->Custom ROM based on stock 5.1
Priority of problem->5 ,as I use MultiRom and have this Custom ROM as Secondary and CM 13 as primary ,but suggest a fix ASAP .

@Sid_Sun - Flash the latest factory firmware image for your model. Once that boots, proceed to custom ROMs if desired.

The MultiROM thread would be the place to ask:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/modmultirom-v30wip08-01-2014-t2997071​
I have no experience with MultiROM, but I believe a Kernel with kexec-hardboot support is required.

Friend in step 3 you say "Run the adb setup file and press (Y) all 3 times." But what is the file?
In the list there are only 2 to download files
adb-setup-1.3.zip
twrp.zip

Where do i put the command in the 4th step?

Bootlooped/bricked/returning to stock ...see the method here

You may be have got attracted to those new roms out there on the internet and would have probably bricked your device.Or maybe did some modding and in worst case somehow your phone bootlooped.
so please follow the guide for unbricking or solving bootloop issues:
CAUTION:
[1] FIRST OF ALL, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE.
[2] NEVER UNPLUG THE USB CABLE WHILE FLASHING IS IN PROGRESS.IT MIGHT PERMANENTLY BRICK UR DEVICE..
ONLY FOR ZENFONE 5,A501CG/00CG
download the required files:
[1] kitkat firmware: for zenfone5(a501cg/00cg only other zf5 users download appropriate firmware from asus support page): http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/A500CG/UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.44-user.zip
[2] adb/fastboot files: from here
[3] device drivers:if you do not have device drivers download and install pc link on pc from asus website,it will automatically install device drivers on your pc.(download from: http://liveupdate01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/LiveUpdate/Release/ZenFone/APP/LinkRim/PCLinkSetup.exe)
IF U R BRICKED PROCEED FROM STEP 2 ELSE FOR BOOTLOOP START FROM STEP 1:
step 1] try booting into recovery and perform a factory rest and wipe cache if this solves the bootloop(in most cases it should).if it still bootloops then follow the following tutorial
step 2]extract the fastboot files on the desktop and paste the firmware(it will be in .zip)in the fastboot folder
step 3]after copying the firmware also extract and copy the recovery.img and fastboot.img file from the firmware into the fastboot folder. (don't remove original firmware zip)
now your fastbootfolder should contain fastboot files+recovery.img+fastboot.img+firmware you dowloaded(compressed in .zip)
step4]boot into the fastboot by switching off the phone and powering it on by power+vol up key until asus logo comes up
if u r returning from some other rom u need to relock the bootloader so scroll some below to see how to relockbootloader.
step5]once you booted to fastboot ,open command promt in fastboot folder (downloaded earlier) by pressing right click+shift in any blank space on folder screen and selecting open command promt here.
in cmd write:
step6]
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
step7] fastboot reboot-bootloader
wait until reboot is complete then write
step8]
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
step9] now we will be erasing data and cache for a clean flashing
Code:
fastboot clear data
fastboot clear cache
both of them take time and screen may turn off to save power so don't panic
next use volume keys to navigate to recovery and select it using power key .once your phone boots up showing android with belly open symbol press and hold volume up+volume down until recovery menu appears.if that does not open recovery try this:
hold volume down button, click and release vol up button,,,then finally release vol down button.
i admit it brothers,,it is sometimes really difficult to boot into recovery...but keep trying,,it is a bit difficult but is fruitful
if it doesnt appears it may be due to unssucceful flashing, unplug usb cable,force switch off phone by holding power button for few seconds.now again boot in bootloader by power button and vol up key and repeat from :step[8]
once in recovery select apply update from adb
step10] write on cmd
Code:
adb sideload <downloaded firmware name>.zip
for convenience you can rename firmware to kk.zip or any thing you like so command will be adb sideload kk.zip(it may take 15 to 20 mins)
step 11]once thats done select wipe data and cache in recovery and at last select reboot from recovery menu(dont skip this else you may face freezing on welcome screen itself)
hopefully you will boot into homescreen and be patient first bootup may take upto 20 mins.
[UPDATE] HOW TO RELOCK BOOTLOADER{only for zenfone 5 other device users pls google the procedure}
(USE THIS ONLY IF U R RETURNING FROM ANY CUSTOM ROM ITS NOT NEEDED FOR BOOTLOOPING PROBLEM)
hi guys i know u will be needing to relock the bootloader while returning to stock rom..
so what u have do is use the following steps before flashing fastboot.img that is before STEP [5] mentioned above
[1] download this file (its a zip file extract it using password zenfone-five.blogspot.com)...(link=https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0o7qWuG7vvVRE9CV0hJWGRJS2c/view?usp=sharing)
[2]follow the on screen instructions
after the bootloader is locked carry on the steps from step[5]
PLEASE NOTE---THE UNLOCKING/LOCKING TOOL PROVIDED ABOVE IS NIETHER WRITTEN NOR OWNED BY ME...ALL CREDIT GOES TO ITS RESPECTIVE DEVELOPERS
this method can be used for:
1]unbricking
2]returning to stock rom
3]bootloop issues
IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO BOOT INTO FASTBOOT(maybe stuck on usb logo)--see this: http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=33800 it is written by asus guys and will help you
thanks

Is your phone rooted?
it's happen to me too, my camera gone blank/missing/not found
for me it's happen after i install TWRP, doesn't matter what TWRP version i install,
but it's can be fix.
drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5XJj7Sujx-DWmhoY1N4UzNsblE&usp=sharing (its my first time posting so i can't post url copy it to browser)
This is the fix data on my google drive, it's for to use with WW-3.24.40.87
the problem is if you got TWRP installed, after fixing you got your camera back but you lose the TWRP.

Downgrade to KK 2.22.40.54 and follow this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/general/asus-zenfone-5-root-ww-2-22-40-54-4-4-2-t3128704 or this for non-Linux, https://github.com/sigo/asus-zenfone-5-root/blob/master/README.md#usage-for-other-systems

Thanks for write your first post to solve my problem
Story of my asus: the phone was working properly, once it fell and the glass broke so I waited for the new glass and when I repaired it, the camera was not working anymore. I tried to reconnect and everything but nothing, the only cause can be an update before or after as has happened to many.
I'll try your method as last chance on software issue because i never flashed in .87, if it doesn't works i'll buy a new camera and lets see. I tried every software fix in the web, maybe it really broke when it fell.

It happens when u unlock ur bootloader
@Blak3n.........I had this issue several times. It's nothing serious and happens when u unlock ur bootloader to flash any custom recovery. This is the only fix if you face the "NO CAMERA" issue for unocking.
Please follow the below instructions:
1. TURN OFF the device
2. Press and hold Volume Up+Power to enter to fastboot/droidboot. When the ASUS logo shows up, release the power button and keep on pressed the Volume UP button. This will take you to droidboot/fastboot mode.
3. check whether your PC detects the fastboot...
Code:

I know, right? Why TF does A**-US need to do s#!t like mess-up the motherboards of every 5th ZenFone 5, WTF. I'm stuck in these suckly stock ROMs while others are enjoying the feature-rich environment of the custom ROM community. Well, done A**-US. If I wanted "unhackable", I'd buy an iPhone.

You can flash custom rom but can't ensure your camera will be working as before. I have no camera issue but to me, taking snap is less important and I'm using RR rom with the camera bug. I'm fine with that. The camera is black/dark but it captures photos at least.

Naw. mine doesn't lose its camera when the bootloader is unlocked. I'm one of the owners of a ZenFone 5 that freezes/hangs then restarts randomly. Those are the only issues that affect the ZF5 users with their defective motherboards.

Well, still it doesn't work. I've tried every single method regarding that here on XDA. I've even tried those from EDA, Windroidica, and InfoBros. They all don't work.
The only method that managed to make a difference is ozank's automated script. It didn't completely stop the freezes, but I noticed that the reboots are a whole lot less frequent:
NO METHOD/OTHER METHODS - freezes about every 3 minutes. A few seconds when using any app.
ozank's AUTO-SCRIPT - freezes about every 20 - 30 minutes ONLY WHEN USING APPS. Haven't encountered the freezes when the device is on standby or daydream mode.

I'm glad to hear that some have managed to fix it. But as for me, and maybe some others, we'll just have to lay in the dust until a savior picks us up. (no religion, okay? )
Either that, or I'm switching phones.

Did you somehow kept your bootloader unlocked? There are few devices (mine as well) where the camera doesn't work if you unlock bootloader. If you port any custom ROM, you have to sacrifice your camera and vice-versa. Please relock the bootloader with a signed boot.img, fastboot.img, and recovery.img.

If mi flash tool shows successfully done without any errors then
Try this

well, i think this caused by relocking bootloader after we flash a new firmware. if that happens, just go in fastboot mode by hold power button + volume down, then unlock it again using mi unlock. reboot it..your twrp is back.
no need to enter edl mode & install twrp again, btw thanks..this is helpful

don't flash official miui from twrp (you better do it in edl mode), but yes you can flash custom miui like miui eu, miuipro, multirom, epic miui etc from twrp. and..after u delete the emmc file inside the firmware which is included on every miui rom, your bootloader will be safe

Probably the problem with bootloader file

not a whole lot of talk anywhere else so i'll try here. i just got my kenzo few days ago, jumped the gun and started trying to get twrp on it. i'm assuming the bootloader was locked. As of right now it wont boot up, its in edl mode maybe... red led flashes and i can upgrade driver to 9008. sometimes its recognized by miflash and when it is and i try to flash stock fastboot it gives me an error. i know thats a lot to take in but i'm trying to cover all my bases. the phone came from overseas so sending it back isnt really an option. any help is appreciated.

7. Now Wait for 30 Sec/ till phone vibrates, Then press power button + vol up simultaneously until you see twrp lock screen.
8. Just Cancel if It asks for Enter password to decrypt and Allow modification by swipe.
9. If you see internal storage 0mb Then GoTo Wipe and FORMAT DATA once & reboot to recovery
10. GoTo install browse and select Magisk.zip or SuperSU.zip & flash.(optional if needed install Busybox for Android NDK by osm0sis magisk module for busybox)
11. Reboot Enjoy.

Not tested by me but some user says in original rom post that he flashed superSU from old twrp also works fine.

Does the rom link given here unzips perfectly?
Because i saw in another thread of Lenovo K8note titled firmware, users unable to unzip due to error in system img. Also downloading from baidu needs a user id. If its possible could you or anyone else reading this upload it in some other online storage drive. Im little bit worried about getting a worse situation while rooting. Even if it goes wrong i can use the stock firmware to make it back.

Yes, I think so. Anyhow there is no need to unlock oem again if you are flashing the rom via TWRP. Anyhow let someone confirm about it.

No need to unlock bootloader again if you use fastboot method to flash stock firmware , & for spflashtool I'm not sure but I think it remains unlocked
