So you're not in the UK I'm assuming? How/why are you on a UK ROM?

I APOLOGIZE for any rudeness or negative energy that I may have portrayed/projected upon to anyone who is trying to HELP me. I appreciate you all very much.

Irrelevant. You must not be reading the words I am typing to you.
Please tell me how to get "Boost mobile xt1031 4.4.4 cdma stock us" firmware back onto my device using the "philz" tool you suggested earlier.

Didn't you get the links for the recovery and drivers I posted a few posts back? Along with detailed instructions on how to fastboot the recovery image?

In case you missed the instructions for fastboot I previously posted...
Now that you have fast boot and adb make sure you have the proper adb drivers...

Download philz recovery image from here...

1. Make sure your computer has working fastboot and adb.
2. Connect the Moto G to the computer via USB.Make sure the fastboot binary is in your PATH or that you place the recovery image in the same directory as fastboot(for ease of flashing rename recovery.img.)
3. Open a terminal on your PC and reboot the device into fastboot mode by typing "adb reboot bootloader" (no quotes) or by using the hardware key combination for your device while it is powered off.
4. Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing "fastboot devices" (no quotes) If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine.
5. See fastboot documentation for more info.If you see "no permissions fastboot", make sure your UDEVrules are setup correctly.
6. Flash recovery onto your device by entering the following command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" where the latter part is the filename of the recovery image.
7. Once the flash completes successfully, reboot the device into recovery to verify the installation.
8. Boot to recovery instructions: Hold Volume Down & Power simultaneously. On the next screen use Volume Down to scroll to recovery and then use Volume Up to select.

Hopefully that'll get you into recovery.
Now that you have a working recovery here's how you get a ROM on your emmc...
Provided you were able to follow the instructions I provided to fastboot your recovery then follow these to get the ROM installed. Download and put it in your tools folder of your adb directory.
Link to stock rooted zip firmware:
https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?dev=SuperR&dl=SuperR/Motorola/falcon/falcon_KXB21.14-L1.57.zip
- Boot your phone into Recovery and select the "Mounts & Storage" screen
- Plug your phone into your computer using USB Data Transfer Cable
- Ensure in Recovery that your phone shows "Unmount /sdcard/" and "Unmount /system/" (If they do not show this automatically, just press each one once respectively as pressing just toggles Mount and Unmount)
- Open Command Prompt on your computer by doing Start -> Run -> cmd
- In Command Prompt, type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" replacing AndroidSDK\tools with wherever your adb and ROM are located.
- This is probably the most important part - Still in Command Prompt, type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends. This may take a minute or two...or four, but you will see a message in Command Prompt saying something like <12345678kb to 1234567kb>. That is just telling you that the file was pushed properly.
- Once this has completed, unplug your phone from your computer and close the Command Prompt window
- Back in Recovery, go to Recovery's main screen and Do a "Factory Reset", "Wipe Cache Partition", and "Wipe Dalvik Cache [which is in the Advanced menu of Recovery]"
- When these are all done, from Recovery's main screen, select "Install ZIP from SD Card" and then "Choose file from SD Card" and select the ROM.zip file you just pushed from your computer to the SD Card. If you do not see the file, go back to Mounts and Storage and toggle them to say "Mount /sdcard/" and "Mount /system/" and then go back and try to fine the ROM.zip file. If you still do not see it, it was not pushed correctly...go back and ensure you were letter for letter with the name and the file path.
- Once the screen in Recovery says "Install from SD CardComplete.", go back to Recovery's main screen yet again and select "Reboot system now".
- Let your phone have some time to boot up...initial boot from installing a new ROM have histories of taking a couple minutes.

ALSO no back up because I was never given the chance to apply one.

First of all I'm not going to ridicule you for not backing up. Its the first thing you should always do. I'm sure you realize that now. I
f you followed the adb push commands and didn't get any errors you should have a zip of the ROM I linked in my instructions on the root of your SD.
Simplified Instructions:
1. Download the ROM from the link I preciously posted.
2. Place it in the adb directory in the tools folder.
3. Reboot into recovery and unmount SD card and system. This is in the mount options of the main recovery screen.
4. Open a command window... CD to your adb tools directory.
5. Type "adb devices" (no quotes) and see if your device is listed. This will confirm your drivers are properly installed.
6. Type "adb push romname.zip /sdcard/romname.zip" (no quotes)
7. Go to the recovery main page and select install from SD card.
8. Select the zip you pushed to storage and install.
9. Reboot to system and profit.
If you get an error regarding the flash you may have lost root and need to flash superuser. Just google for the flashable zip.
You should be able to flash the rom from there in recovery. If not I'd suggest following the instructions in this thread (last post has 4.4.4 files) ...

Good luck...

Go to this link and download the file. It's mfastboot. Extract it to your desktop for easy access. After that go to the link the guy above posted and download the file in the first post on returning to stock. After it's done downloading extract it to your desktop (easy access). Go to your desktop and open the file you just downloaded. Highlight all the files inside and copy them. Then go to the "mfastboot-v2" folder (you should have this on your desktop too). Paste the files in there. Now you have all the files you need in your mfastboot folder. Put your phone in fastboot mode. Connect your phone to your computer. (By the way you should have the Motorola USB drivers installed on your computer too). While in your mfastboot folder, open command prompt (Hold SHIFT button and right click). You'll see an option "Open command window here". Click that. Make sure your computer recognizes your phone by typing in " mfastboot devices " (no quotes). If a number is listed you're good to go. Okay now these are the commands you will type listed in order (hitting Enter after each one.)
1) mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
2) mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
3) mfastboot reboot-bootloader
The third command you enter will reboot your boot loader. When your phone goes back to the fastboot screen continue with the commands.
4) mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
5) mfastboot flash boot boot.img
6) mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7) mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
8) mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
9) mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
10) mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
11) mfastboot erase modemst1
12) mfastboot erase modemst2
13) mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
14) mfastboot erase cache
15) mfastboot erase user data
16) mfastboot reboot
After entering these commands in order your phone should reboot and be working. This worked for me I was on 4.4.2. After doing this you will be on Jellybean 4.3 but you can just go through the software updates and be back on 4.4.4. That's why I did. Hopefully this helps and sorry if my instructions were confusing this is my first post haha. Good luck..
