[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReneFloor:
Hey,

I have been using CM11 successfully, but my GPS didn't work and when I tried to fix it by flashing a stock rom my complete phone bricked. I have a GSM phone, but I think I accidentally installed a CDMA rom, but I expect that this would be fixable.

I can access bootloader and recovery. When trying to do a wipe or install TWRP gives the error 'unable to mount '/data'', storage, etc. I then tried to flash a stock rom by the following method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542219, but I am receiving these errors:

I also tried to install 4.3, but it gave the same errors. I have googled and I found more people having this problem, but never found a solution.

When I tried to install 4.4 by skipping the first steps it gives the error 'images is too large' and if I do that with 4.3 it seems to install, but does not boot.

'mfastboot getvar all' gives the following information:

I really hope one of you can help me, and if you need more information I will provide that of course.

Edit: As the info says I am on Boost.en.US I also tried to flash 4.4 and 4.3 of that version, but both gave the same errors as above.
