[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purplezigar:
So my brother's Moto G recently received the Lollipop OTA. He was rooted at it wouldn't install. So I decided to back it all up at restore it to stock LP for a fresh start.

I used the guide here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47820707#post47820707

And the firmware here:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/149mdexndh9n/XT1034_FALCON-RETUAWS_5.0.2_LXB22.99-36_19_cid9_CFC_1FF.xml.zip

And I extracted it and it all worked fine blah blah blah....

But now the phone won't boot. It's stuck at the Warning Bootloader Unlocked splash screen. I've tried just about everything i could find on here, such as installing a custom recovery and trying to flash a rom, but that failed.

I tried rolling back to 4.4.4, but it ended with the same result.

He's on T-Mobile, but we bought the unlocked US variant. It is indeed the XT1034, as i checked on the box, on the battery, and on the phone before i bricked it. This isn't my first rodeo :cowboy: i'm not new to this, but this is bugging me and my bro can't be without a phone for long. Any help is appreciated :D

Annnnd yes i have searched... so please don't start with that.

Here's the most recent attempt at restoring to stock.
