Help [Moto G 4.4.2] I succesfully Rooted and then i made a mistake[No os]

Ok so first off just wanted to say that i succesfullt rooted my Moto g 4.4.2.. Had SuperSu and all was fantastic...a day went by and i decided that i wanted to put run CMrom .. i was having a few issues so i decided that i would clear the dalvik and all that.

But this is where i messed up.. i wasnt paying attention and Deleted EVERYTHING..including the os.

Now im at a loss because my computer wont recognize my device ..even if im in fastboot or recovery.. i cant get it to show up in adb when i type adb devices or anything! So how can i flash an os when my device isnt recognized??.. There is 1 thing, When im in fastboot and i click the Superboot.bat it acts like it did when i first rooted it... but does me no good i still cant do anything... and yes ive read every guide i could find but i just cant get it recognized... Is there something im missing?

I appreciate any help with this as i am now without a phone... Thanks guys

Edit: Oh and just incase i forgot to mention i believe i have all the drivers and adb..all that...Like i said i rooted succesfully
 
May I ask if you have a 2014 Moto G/Old and internation or what carrier/country are you in?
 
So you wiped system? Do you still have a rom on it you can flash?
If not and you didn't make a backup (you really should have made one before but I won't make you feel any worse than you do already) you'll have to push a rom onto the phone (does it have an sd card?) if not you'll have to get the pc to recognise it and I'm useless with pcs, sorry
 
Just to be absolutely specific, are you saying that ADB won't recognise it when it is in recovery? Which recovery do you have?

Problems like this are usually soluble, but it's best to get people familiar with the device to advise. So if you could answer Guggy's question then we can move this thread to the right place where other owners (and rooters) of the same device are most likely to see it.
 
Thank you guys for the reply.

I have a us cellular, it has no SD card slot.. So only internal memory. I guess it's the older one.

I have clock work recovery .

And no it won't recognize in any way shape or form.. In recovery or fastboot.

I've tried to push a rom but it just tells me there is no device!

Thanks again guys let me know if you need more information
 
Its last years model... No SD support.
If I had an SD I would out it in my card reader and put a ROM on it.

So what do you guys think?

Oops, didn't see you posted that you have clockwork. Sorry. But I remember that there was an option somewhere in advanced that worked like 'mount mtp in twrp' forgot what though.

I'd seriously double check your drivers. I'm not fully knowledgeable with rooting Motorola devices, but uh.... Correct me if I'm wrong here..
Root process is normally done without touching fastboot, and AFAIK if you're not drivered up properly, ADB will work and fastboot may not. Even if u have drivers there, remove em, install again. Making sure that you're really in fastboot mode may help too.... I've found fastboot will show as a splash screen or a blank screen too. Hope some of that helps :(
 
Strange that even with a wiped OS, you can't get adb recognition from recovery. That's kind of the point of the adb daemon in recovery...to bail out of these types of situations. A few thoughts you may have already tried...

Universal adb driver:

Try not selecting any options in the cwm menu when issuing the adb devices command.

When you are in fastboot, you are entering fastboot devices command is that right?
