My friend has moto g 2 gen.when he was rooting he somehow made things go wrong and his phone is bricked.The thing is whenever i try to get it into Recovery mode by holding lock+volume button.The phone just restarts and gets back into M logo .It will stay in tat logo until the battery is dead.The sites i found on the internet to unbrick is pretty useless as they are able to get into recovery mode and i am not able to get in to it.There is no explanation on how to unbrick if recovery mode isnt working.

The only way to unbrick if recovery mode isn't working is by flashing/restoring the device back to stock.

Step 1

Visit the Android Developers site to download the Android System Development Kit (see Resources). Right-click the ZIP archive and choose “Extract All.” Click “Browse” and choose your “C:\Program Files” directory.

Step 2

Click the folder you extracted and press “F2” to rename it. Give the folder a simple, descriptive name, such as “AndroidADT.”

Step 3

Right-click “Computer” in your file browser and choose “Properties.” Click “Advanced System Settings” and, in the System Properties window, click “Environment Variables.”

Step 4

Click “Path” and “Edit” in the System Variables window. When the Edit System Variable window opens, your path variable is selected, so press “End” to move the cursor to the end of the selection. If you type while the path is selected, you'll erase your path variable.

Step 5

Type “;C:\Program Files\AndroidADT\sdk\platform-tools\” (without quotes here and throughout) and ensure that you include the semicolon at the beginning of the path. Click “OK” to save your changes.

Step 6

Point your cursor to the upper-right corner of the screen and click “Search.” Type “cmd” in the Search box and click the program icon in the search results to launch the Command Prompt window.

Step 7

Turn on your Android phone and connect it to a USB port on your computer. Type “adb shell” and press “Enter.” When ADB connects to your device, type “--wipe_data” and press “Enter.” Your phone restarts in recovery mode and restores Android to factory settings.
