hello, i've just bought a moto lte (uk) xt1039

have successfully unlocked bootloader

trying to flash recovery via fastboot but having issues

seems to flash ok but then when rebooting into recovery device show (nearly) black screen with some white flickers.

i can boot into bootloader and access via fastboot on windows 7

i downloaded recovery and rom on the moto (before erasing partitions and being unable to boot) and have copies on laptop too.

what have i done? how can i get recovery working to install a rom?

thanks so much for your help, sorry I couldn't find answer here (I tried!
