If your phone doesn't turn on after the battery dies, then keep the power button pressed till you see the battery icon. Always connect to a wall charger if the battery is dead after the phone is hard bricked.

Method :
To Enter Fastboot :
1) When your phone is turned off, press the power key and volume down button for around 5-10 seconds and let it go.
2) Connect your phone to your pc via usb.
3) Install the setup provided in the link and press "y" in the window.
To Flash Firmware :
3) Extract the zip which contains a batch file "unbrick.bat", 5.0.2 Firmware & Fastboot.
4) Run the batch file "unbrick.bat"

If your phone is still stuck in a bootloop, I would recommend you to first flash the CWM Recovery using fastboot.
Then, you can sideload a ROM (I used PAC-MAN) using ADB. Then just flash the ROM in CWM. If you need stock, then follow the above steps after successfully booting into PAC-MAN ROM. I have provided all the links above.

That's it, you are done!

Major problems with my XT1033

Hello, please help. I have tried to follow your instructions to unbrick my Moto G XT1033 but I just get the message in the Command Prompt that fastboot is not recognised.
I think my phone was accidently disconnected from the pc when I was trying to flash back to stock firmware from CM11. Since then the phone will not shut down & only shows 0% battery when connected to the mains. It only charges the battery when connected to the PC. I can get to the fastboot screen (please see attached images) & as can be seen the phone confirms usb is connected but the phone is not recognised by the PC. Please help. I have tried all other methods without any success.
Regards
Brian

Eventually I managed to get fastboot recognised & followed your instructions even though the first few commands seemed to FAIL I continued and I now have a fully working Moto G XT1033

I'm updating this thread with Lollipop 5.0.2 firmware and a batch file.

 

[skr975]

I have made changes to OP to include Lollipop Firmware and to make it easier. Hope it solves your issue.

Hi I'm tryin to follow this thread after the other unbrick and restore posts didn't help.
