Hi,

I have a Moto G 2013 (falcon) and have installed multiple custom ROMs over the years, with the latest one being the Pixel Experience 8.1 ROM. However, I attempted to go back to the original firmware as Pixel Experience wasn't working too well, and it didn't work, and I got a recommendation to install Lineage OS 14.1 on it, at which point when attempting the install the booting up sequence took forever, and so I tried the Resurrection Remix ROM, also no luck. It appears the phone is completely unable to boot - what should I do?

Kind regards,

Marco :)

restore latest stock firware, this fixes most unfixable bootloop issues. remember by restoring stock firmware i mean "fastboot" way, not through custom recovery.

Don't work, I believe I've damaged some partition (like System,Data, ...) and no rom can be installed, bootloader may be corrupted

My XT1033 only turn on fastboot and stock recovery blinking, other recovery like TWRP they work but I can not mount or wipe any partition

I had similar symptoms after accidentally flashing a falcon firmware to my peregrine device. This caused the screen to "fade out" or flicker, but I could get to the bootloader, albeit flickering. Flashing a correct boot.img solved the bad screen issue, at which point I used fastboot boot mode to boot TWRP and flash a more "correct" rom.

I then ran into the forever booting issue. I fixed this by flashing the relevant radio...It frustratingly booted to oobe within seconds!

Hope this helps someone
