[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OxYgEnOlOgY:
Dear All,

This is my last ditch desperate attempt in resolving an issue with a Motorola Moto G that I have. This phone was purchased some time ago from Tesco UK as an unlocked phone. I used it for around 12 months without any issue and was pleased with its performance and features. I have since passed it on to my 10 year old son who also used it without fail for a number of months. He then came to me a month or so ago ( yes I have been trying to resolve this issue for some time now :( ) to say that his phone would no longer boot. Upon inspection the phone would not boot and there was no Motorola logo on switching his phone on. This led me on the journey down searching endless hours on google and of course ended up here on XDA.

I have since spent numerous hours on searching the net and the XDA site with some success.

- I have been able to get the phone to respond and of course load bootloader ( the phone would not even get this far originally ) .

- I have both ADB and FASTBOOT available on my windows 10 laptop.

- After much deliberation I decided that the 'best' option would be to download a custom recovery tool such as TWRP and install a custom mod.

I have since read, and further searched and scoured the internet for source of help and to be quite honest spent an in consumable amount of hours trying to bring this phone to life for my son, than I care to mention. If it was not for sheer stubbornness and my own need to rectify this problem from a personal level I would have purchased another phone for my son. However, I am who I am and have this need to solve this problem.

To return back more to the point in hand:

- I am able to issue fastboot commands to the phone.

- I am occasionally able to issue commands via 'adb' as and when windows 10 drivers see the device.

- I have a 1GB micro sd card present that I am able to acccess.

- I am able to boot into TWRP but am unable to flash boot and then boot into custom recovery.

- I can successfully flash xt1039 stock rom but upon reboot get the bootloader unlocked screen that loops until the battery dies.

- With reference to the above my bootloader has been unlocked following steps taken through motorola website eligibility.

My ultimate goal is to restore and lock this phone to original factory settings so that I am able to pass it onto my son.

For information as to the phones current state of bootloader:
