i have a moto g xt1032 16gb global gsm from amazon, converted to gpe 4.4.2, then after updating the OTA 4.4.4 it failed and bricked the phone, i tried everything, many methods, etc, no luck, until this one worked, but with no signal
http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/general/howto-fix-stuck-boot-downgrading-t2808098
i had another moto g which updated fine to GPE 4.4.4, then i created nandroid backups of that rom, using that, it allows us to restore our moto g bricked to a fully working GPE 4.4.4, with network and everything else working perfect (at least for me), the answer for all problems was using a custom recovery philz 6047 to format the partitions in the GPE format
i don´t know if this works on other moto g, like i said i have XT1032 16GB GLOBAL GSM FROM AMAZON, and xt1032 from CHILE CLARO
STEPS
(i hope you know about cmd, fastboot, adb, custom recovery, push, etc, please don´t be so noob guys XD, investigate and read a little, the most important part are drivers for fastboot and for recovery, there should be no problem aside that
1)download and flash this:

(this might not be needed but i would prefer if you do it because that is exactly what i did)
this will flash or convert your regular moto g into Gpe 4.4.2, even if it is already bricked
2)download this file and unzip:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/5gaecfmtpja1x6b/unbrick_4.4.4_gpe_xt1032_by_philz_push.7z
2.5)put phone in fastboot mode and plug
3)if you did flash 1) then you should already have philz 6047 on your phone, else flash philz recovery 6047 by your own means, or included on my zip by clicking fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.bat
trust me, you have to use that version of philz, the latest one does not work, i don´t know about other recoveries
4)run recovery and:
mounts and storage:
format cache
format data and data media
wipe data:
clean to install a new rom
5)click on pc:
adb push a.zip sdcard a.zip
and wait like 2 minutes, then the window cmd should disappear
you can unplug now
6)on philz go to:
install zip:
choose zip from sd card
search for a.zip
flash, it should take like 4 minutes
7) reboot and enjoy the google 4 balls of life XD for 2 minutes
8) check if you have signal, i believe, if you flashed 1), then you should have signal, else download images of gpe 4.4.2 for your country or region and cmd this:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot reboot
this part about signal might be tricky, remember there are many countries and various moto g models, mine is xt 1032 global gsm from amazon and working perfect in venezuela using retail GPE images
9) i believe that should be all, next time, we better wait for images of android before flashing like crazy lol
PD
the person who created the partition of gpe, and another different for regular moto g, can go to hell, also for not releasing fastboot images at time
