I got the Moto G from Kodoo. I've unlocked the bootloader, was now wondering whether flashing the US Global firmware version would cause problems? Wanted to flash the US firmware so I could then apply the OTA update for 4.4.2

Alright, so my MOTO g is from Malaysia and the other day I unlocked my bootloader and changed the phone to GPE and somehow got one sim to work. I realized my phone feels a little laggy and I tried reverting back to stock rom using Retail Taiwan version from the official motorola firmware link as it's the only Asia Retail which has umtds which is dual sim... It doesn't have kitkat firmware for dual sim as yet.. Flashing a single sim rom doesn't work. I was able to flash the taiwan version(4.3) of stock rom successfully but when I tried to update OTA it failed and then I tried to sideload the update and even that failed :crying: I really need some help to get back to stock kitkat.

U need stock recovery with no root to install OTA
Flash stock ROM
Salam, macammana engkau flash stock motorola rom dekat moto g, aku try x leh nk flash drpd paranoid android..
Hi Guys,
I just received the XT1033 Lollipop notification and clicked upgrade.... Unfortunately the upgrade failed and I suspect perhaps that's because I have clockworkmod installed instead of the stock recovery?
Where do I go from here? How do I get my phone so the upgrade installs successfully?
I'm in New Zealand if that matters. Not sure if you get a different OTA update per country?
Also note, the phone is still working fine (ie not bricked or anything), just the upgrade is failing to install
Flash a stock ROM or gpe and upgrade from there.

Which ROM, does it matter?
I keep seeing stock roms for Brazil/India/Asia, but I live in NZ so I'm not sure what to install. There doesn't seem to be any NZ roms
Plus none of the links in "how to restore to stock" tutorials and faq's seem to work anymore
Can you point me in the right direction please?
You can still install official lollipop if your phone has bootloader unlocked and custom recovery but I would suggest starting from scratch. If you bought phone from anywhere in Asia then flash stock asian KitKat ROM and if you bought it from Brazil then flash stock Brazilian KitKat rom. After that you can update your phone to official lollipop.
PS- there is no NZ ROMs for xt1033. Only Asian and Brazilian. It depends on the region from where you buy the phone, not where you live.
I bought it in NZ...
Aha! I found in the phone settings it says 210.12.40.falcon_umtsds.AsiaRetail.en.03
Asia rom it is then, I'll go try it out

You should not need to unlock bootloader to flash the fastboot firmware image.

Flash 5.0.2 firmware.no need to revert to 4.4.4 or use ota since lollipop flashable imge now available for xt1033 asia retail.
After many soft bricks I ended up in stock 4.4.4 US retail. Although I did upgrade Motorola Update, it says there's no new system software (5.0).
How do I upgrade from 4.4.4 US retail (stock) to 5.0? Is there an OTA file for US? I already searched everywhere, but can't seem to find it.
I could also go to 4.4.4 stock Brasil or Argentina and then apply the OTA, but right now my phone only boots if I install a firmware via recovery (ZIP file), not flashing it with fastboot. And I couldn't find installable ZIP files for 4.4.4 stock Brasil or Argentina.
I'm not sure if you could get the ota update officially (as in the new software available thing).
You could try out the 5.0.2 version from some other reason or you could check out some custom ROM.

If your phone works on 4.4.4 Retail, it will probably work with Telus 4.4.4. I had GPE 4.4 on my xt1032 8 GB, flashed back to retail 4.4.4, then flashed to Telus 4.4.4, updated Moto apps, got the Telus OTA update to 5.02.
So where can I get this Telus 4.4.4 firmware? Is it flashable from recovery (ZIP)? Remember fastboot flashes don't work since the first time I softbricked my phone.

When you boot your phone into fastboot and you type "fasboot devices", it doesn't return you phone's serial number?
I don't think there is a Lollipop OTA for USA retail yet.

Android 5.0 USA Retail is not officially released. I would suggest audit13's method.

Fastboot does work. It flashes the firmware with no errors, but the phone won't boot afterwards. I don't know why, but it happens since I first softbricked my phone.
I used to have Retail USA 4.4.4 on my Telus xt1032.
If you really want 5.02, you could try flashing the stock Telus 4.4.4, update motorola apps, and install the 5.02 OTA update.
Hello i have Motorola Moto G LTE XT1045 US AT&T ( Unlocked Network WorldWide )
i want to update firmware but.........
it has 4.4.4 stock firmware
i never touch it i always use it for calls or wifi
when i go system update it says that device has last version system but it has support for 5.1.1 official lollipop
now i want to update it manually
i need install Official stock ROM manually can u help me? please i need full tutorial
it does not have unlocked bootloader and is not rooted
have stock recovery too pleasee
You need to flash a custom recovery.Need to flash the TWRP 2.8.7.0 version and after flash manually the Lollipop stock Rom that is available here.I am giving you a optimized that is bloatware free but the choice is yours!

I don't think that the at&t model allows bootloader unlocking. If you can't unlock it, then you're stuck on 4.4.4 until they release it for that variant, which hasn't happened yet.
I know you can't flash retus without an unlocked bootloader but I didn't know if cross carrier flashing would work with stock firmware?
Thanks in advance
I don't believe that to be the case but I could be wrong
