This topic must not be here but in help and troubleshooting forum.
Now to your question, do you have unlocked bootloader or not? Be sure that you try to install the right rom for your phone. If your phone is xt1092, you must install xt1092 rom etc. And be careful DON'T DOWNGRADE from Marshmallow to Lollipop because of hard brick danger.

If your in fastboot mode does it say Device is unlocked. Make sure you use the right ROM. Also make sure you use the fastboot commands in the right order:
WARNING: If you're downgrading skip the partition gpt.bin and the motoboot motoboot.img commands, otherwise this will hardbrick your device.
fastboot oem fb_mode_set oem
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

It should work then.
