HELP! Mismatched partition size for TWRP on Moto G Falcon

[androflash2]

Hi everyone. I'd appreciate it if I got some help fixing my Moto G as it's been gathering dust ever since I couldn't boot into the recovery and stuck in the bootloader. I accidentally deleted the OS and when I try to install the stock rom, it just goes straight back to the bootloader. I really want to get this phone working again. When I try installing a recovery, it says "Mismatched Partition Size". It's the same with TWRP and CWM. My goal is to revert back to the stock ROM, which is 4.4.4 Boost Mobile. Manually flashing the ROM in sequences didn't work.

If any of you can, please help me.


Thanks in advance.

Anyone flashing a custom recovery on Falcon gets this same error. Ignore it. Your issue is something else.

Solved: I had to update the bootloader first.

I've been getting the same recovery partition size doesn't match error. I've tried TWRP 3.0.0.0.2 and 3.0.0.0 for falcon and get this error with both. I've rooted HTC, Sony Xperia and Nexus devices before without any problems.
The previous poster said he updated the (I'm guessing Motorola) bootloader. Where and how do I find this update.
My bootloader is: 41.1A (sha-80481ae, 2015-04-10 14:30:20) The phone is a 1st gen Moto G 1GB/16GB.

41.1A is the latest available bootloader
and the error of the mismatched partition can be ignored, just reboot to twrp after you flashed it and it will be fine

Just tried to reboot into TWRP, but I got the robot with a red triangle and 'no command'.
I'll try reflashing TWRP and report back later

After you flashed twrp, don't reboot using fastboot command, just power down using the power button and boot to twrp using the power+volume down button. Just try that and see if it successfull.

I had same issue, after HOURS i found out why, thanks to this guide:

http://www.droidthunder.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-moto-g-2013/

ALL OTHERS guide i read, included the istruction on twrp site itself, was wrong.

after you use fastboot to flash twrp, you must NOT restart, but simply:

After successfully installing the TWRP recovery, on your phone (in fastboot mode) go to the Recovery option by pressing volume down button and then press volume up button to select it.

like this, FINALLY, my motog loaded the twrp.

hope this will help others with this same issue, to save the 2 hours i lost, lol.
