No idea. There was not anything special or new app. A month ago it started to give errors. Sometimes I can get 1 or 2 minutes working without errors, but can't delete user data or reset from phone menu (no result when touch the button).

Thanks
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoseIlla:
Does this coincide with a firmware update (Like Android 4.4.2 to 4.4.3)?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorge BCN:
Nopes, as far as I know
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoseIlla:
Here's what I know about the issue, perhaps it will give someone else an idea:

1. The issue is either caused by or is unaffected by previous factory resets.

2. The issue is either caused by or is unaffected by the installation of new and/or updated ROMs.

3. If it's the same issue I was having, and I believe that it least shares the same root cause, then it is something that gets worse over time; it causes system instability (system UI crashes in increasing number, random reboots, etc...), slowness, and refuses to allow you to hard reset after a while.

4. In the case that it is the same issue, it has different effects on different methods of factory resets. In TWRP the factory reset process just continues on forever, until you hard reboot the device or until the battery drains out. If you press the factory reset button in fastboot it just resets to system, making no changes.

5. In TWRP I used the reformat option and have since had no issues, including better than new performance with crDroid.

Based on my understanding of the Moto G partition tables, I believe that the issue may have to do with gradual data corruption, possibly on the storage partition. This may be because of a software bug in the firmware or maybe a hardware issue. Due to the ubiquity of the lock up/reboot issue, which is well documented and has several guides indicating that a factory reset is in order when this occurs, I'm thinking that it is safe to assume that some resource shared both with the system and storage partitions is to blame.

If that is the case, then I would think it's the cache or a bug with an updated system app that leaves traces in the device storage.

This is all assuming the issues are interrelated, so I may be way off base, but if my assumptions are correct, then the only suggestion I can think of is to completely clear the device storage and cache and then try to factory reset again, as it may be hanging up on removing something there and aborting when it runs into trouble.

Maybe someone has a better idea. Your device may be bricked and since you unlocked the boot loader AFTER the issues started, you voided your warranty with none of the advanced recovery tools that you'd have with a custom recovery.

In other words: You might have to get a new phone.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lyka:
I have the same issue:

1) android.process.acore started to pop up, with many other "force close"

2) fastboot "hard reset" is not working at all (tried this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 using XT1032_RETAIL-EU_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml which should be 210.12.40.falcon_umts.euretail.en.eu) - See "fastboot flash report.txt" attached

3) I also have a recovery boot up error. When I try to go to recovery from bootloader it just reloads the boot loader with the error "boot up failed" (just like here http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/help/moto-g-logo-motorola-t2858483)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dranrebtluar:
Moto G crashing continuously...

Hi All,

I have had exactly the same problem with my Moto G and still have not found a solution.

On a standard (3 weeks old) device, Applications & processes just started crashing and now all installed programs and updates to in-built applications crash continuously; the phone is unusable...

It may have been associated with a firmware or application update; i simply cannot tell..

in an attempt to fix the problem I unlocked the phone and tried to flash firmware back to stock; i can communicate with the phone in flash boot mode but not in recovery mode; ie I cannot get adb to talk to the phone at all; neither in a normal boot mode where the processes crash all the time nor in the recovery mode where the phone is not seen as a device on the usb port.

factory reset has no effect at all as the original apps and personalisations are still there - crashing all the time of course

I strongly suspect that it is an incompatibility introduced by an application / firmware update as when I manage to disable updates to stock applications (ie google apps) by accepting crash dialogs continuously and in moments of 'quiet' I disable updates; the phone crashes much less but unfortunately remains unusable.

This is obviously not an isolated problem and wonder if Motorola has responded to this issue.

So a few questions are;

the only way to apparently communicate with the phone is in fastboot mode:

The phone apparently flashes but it seems that some kind of cache store is used to immediately overwrite any flashing attempt upon rebooting!!!

Can we reformat the file system and erase this cache from the fastboot mode?

Would really appreciate any help

Thank in advance

Bernard

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canadian_Durden:
Have you tried flashing a different recovery like Philz and doing the data/media format in there? I was unable to format the partitions under TWRP earlier this evening, and flashed Philz from the bootloader, went into that recovery and was able to format data, cache and the /sdcard (/data/media) areas without issue. Best of luck and Merry Christmas :good:

i thought i was the only one with this problem. My Moto G got the same problem 2 days ago. I've tried everything i could find in the internet. no result. Anyone with result already?

i even unlock the bootloader. Darn it. It only allow me to go to recovery mode. Before i unlock it i cannot go to recovery mode

any tutorial to do this? i'm not rooted. from bootloader i fastboot the recovery image using this command "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-falcon.img". It respond mismatch partition and when i go into recovery nothing change.

Any idea?

Run these at your own risk:

In bootloader mode, run

fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

If that doesn't get TWRP and try from there. You might need to reformat using the make_ext4s function via adb shell.

Same problem on XT1068?

I have the same problem with my wife's phone. If this issue is really due an defective EMMC (also on Moto G 2014?), then we couldn't do anything.

I thought it was an software issue, so I tried everything to get it work, but no chance! I unlocked the bootloader after this problem did occure --> also no chance to get this thing back alive.

@ Mark from Moto: will Motorla cover this under warranty, or will they refuse because I unlocked the bootloader (problem occured before I have unlocked the bootloader)?

Please advice what to do now.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonAshman:
So this is what I did. I was having the error everyone was having. Couldn't delete user data and was having errors when trying to wipe before installing a ROM. All the recoveries I tried failed, they froze or rebooted. I tried CWM, TWRP, TeamWin (TWRP), PhilZ Touch, and I think that's it. Couldn't flash any stock ROM or anything.

I was running Cyanogenmod 12.1 and was working ok. This all started after I accidentally chose to flash a superuser update which was already installed, instead of the GApps. It froze and that's when it started.

I got help from this thread, Google, AndroidForums and these other 2 threads: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42407269#post42407269

I tried first the mfastboot wipe thru ADB and didn't go thru.

I connected my phone in fastboot mode (pwr+vol down) and tried to follow the instructions here.

It was all good until I got to mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1. It didn't go thru, got an error:

target max-sparse-size: 256MB

error: cannot load 'system.img_sparsechunk1': No error

After that I tried again the mfastboot command. If you don't have mfastboot in your ADB tools folder you have to donwload it and place it here. I entered mfastboot erase userdata AND IT WENT THROUGH. After that just mfastboot erase cache and then mfastboot reboot.

Went into recovery and could wipe data normally and install a ROM.

So I suggest you follow the instructions to flash a stock ROM in the thread I linked and see if you can do it, if you get the same error as me after the system.img_sparsechunk1 go to mfastboot erase userdata again like I did.

I really hope you can all solve it.

It seems fast and short but I tried like 7 or 8 things before that, was like 6 hours researching and downloading ROMs, tools, compiling and other stuff. Really frustrating. Now it's working fine. I installed 2 ROMs already and didn't have any problem, but can't say I didn't shake before "swiping to erase".

Good luck.

Hi to all!

I’d like to show you a new game created by my team. It’s called My Doll House and it’s an innovative game that will let your kids’ creativity shine. Unlike most games that are aimed at kids these days(they are usually violent and overly simplified!), My Doll House is meant to be cheerful and relaxing but at the same time it encourages children to use their imagination and develop their sense of aesthetics. We're especially proud of the cute graphic style, soothing and nice to the eye. The game is full of unlockable content and we’re trying to make it into an experience that never gets boring! We’re also planning on introducing a major update soon, which we hope will let kids enjoy My Doll House even more.

I’d be extremely glad if you showed the game to your children, siblings, nephews or nieces… Or you can play it yourselves if you want to, adults are also susceptible to its charm! ;)

I’m waiting for your sincere feedback & I hope you’ll enjoy playing!

You can get the game here! -> play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.himalaio.dollhouse

I forgot to include the game's name in the thread title, if a mod can fix it I'll be grateful! Cheers

oh been meaning to ask did u used to make the Vortex rom on the droidx? and iirc vortex on the galaxy nexus as well?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] DevVorteX:
Yep, you caught me. Ahh, the droid x. Still got mine sitting in my nightstand, still stuck with a non-writable storage, so every boot starts up on some date that the hd died. It works for a few days, then reboots and it's back to that day in time.

I did work on sourcery rom for the gnex for a while. Been seeing if I can get into the Samsung stuff, but I've got no time. I'm just a plain ol' user right now. But my curiosity is getting the best of me. I'm starting to figure out how this odin thing works.

As for any thoughts of rom dev on this thing, I shiver every time I think of smali editing again. Is that still how these things go with no source? decompile the apk, then smali edit until things look about right?

will do :)
