Moto G Telus/Koodo version - unable to flash non-Telus version

Hello,
For the better part of this evening I have been trying to flash Telus Moto G with a different ROM. I even unlocked the bootloader, but to no avail.
I keep getting the following errors when trying to flash bootloader, recovery and system:
hab check failed for boot
hab check failed for recovery
invalid PIV signed system image
(when trying to flash a ROM with three sparsechunks, sparsechunk.0 gives the error, two remaining flash correctly, the phone boots, but the phone is unusable (most of the menus and stuff is just not there)
I have tried GPE, same thing (wouldn't even boot).
Only thing that always works is flashing Telus firmware.
Is there ANY way to bypass this limitation?
Please help me!

same for me bro. I tried US retail and it didnt work. I didnt unlock bootloader so I went back to the telus one.
I dont get why you cant get it in if you unlock bootloader
anyways, I doubt there is a difference between these stock rooms. just saying..

There is a fundamental difference in that Telus version only has a few system languages, and doesn't have the ones I need.

could you root it, install cwm and than install custom rom?

Yes, I've finally managed to flash CWM and Cyanogenmod. Thanks for the tips!

Sweet! Good to hear.

Anyone found a way to install non-Telus stock FW or GPE on a Telus Moto G in the meantime? It appears Moto G losdt CM support, so I would like to get back to stock - but Telus version is not acceptable.

I've tried flashing the US and GB retail with no success. The result of the effort was a loss of radio antenna with no network connection. Flashing the Telus firmware repaired the antenna issue with no errors when flashing all the files. The issue seems to be the bootloader and leaves me wondering if it needs to be unlocked. I'm not desperate to have a retail version that I'm willing to void the warranty by unlocking the bootloader.

Offical KitKat Update - Unknown Sim, KitStalk Bootloops

Used Matt's utility and flashed the official KitKat update! I used the no wipe method. All good. I rooted. All good. Then I updated TWRP. Again, all good, well with the exception I get unknown sim error for my ATT StraightTalk sim and no APNs are available. Why aren't the APNs showing since the utility uses the unlocked radio?
Now I proceed to flash KitStalk hopping to conquer the sim card issue. Flash the latest version and I get stuck on the Moto Dual Core Screen!
Am I missing some info here or what?

Can't talk or text on flashed Moto G.

Edit: Decided to return the phone.
I picked up a Consumer Celluar Moto G phone yesterday.
Following the guide on this site I flashed it to a stock android rom Android 4.4.3 Blur_Version.210.12.32.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US.
Phone updated to 4.4.4 over wifi
Then I put in my AT&T sim, unlocked it through a code on eBay, and it's not picking up any signal from AT&T.
I tried to flash it again with a different rom but it failed on the first step.
Is there any way to save this phone?
I flashed it with a differerent ROM and there was no change.

[Q] XT1034 US GSM Model, Need correct radio flash.

I have a XT1034 that I put the wrong lollipop update on (I think it was for an XT1032), and that led to it having no sim card detected.
I finally got it back in a usable state by going back to 4.4.4 and flashing the radio files I found in this file. (Sorry still can't post links.)
"Fix Modem issues for XT-1034 Moto-G.zip"
Then it was still glitchy (screen issues), So I've applied the 5.02 Canada AWS firmware, and everything seems to work except that I only get H or H+ for a connection.
I've not gotten 3g. I'm on Straight Talk with an AT&T sim, and My daughter has the exact same setup, but with stock roms/etc.
She has no problem getting 3g.
My goal is having the USA Lollipop back on here, with the correct radio flashed.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

H/H+ is 3G, it's just that in America they only use the 3G icon.
If you want to restore back to USA firmware, flash this via fastboot https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6RNTe4ygItBQUN1SXJxYWtuY2M/view Instructions are here on how to do it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47820707#post47820707 When flashing the system sparcechunks keep note on the file name, it's named differently, so if you copy the command from the instructions it won't work because it's named differently on the zip.
After restoring to stock kitkat, update all the stuff on the playstore and then check for update, then you'll get the notification for lollipop. If you don't here is the OTA zip for lollipop, here is the Lollipop OTA for USA XT1034. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1zN8A3HtCVkdFF2b2dVU0hXUDQ/view?usp=sharing Copy it to your internal memory. Boot into stock recovery and follow the kitkat instructions to get the menu https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/97329/p/30,6720,9050 Select update from sdcard and select the ota zip and it will update to lollipop.
edit: I just noticed that the stock lollipop firmware for american xt1034 is available http://www.filefactory.com/file/149mdexndh9n/XT1034_FALCON-RETUAWS_5.0.2_LXB22.99-36_19_cid9_CFC_1FF.xml.zip You can skip installing kitkat and just flash the images via fastboot with the instructions I mentioned above.

Well I tried this first and it acted correctly, but never went past the unlocked bootloader screen. (I left it there for 15 mins or so.) So I did the downgrade to 4.4.4 again and was able to get into the os, and then copy the ota over and apply it using stock recovery.
Thank you very very much.
I've missed my Moto g.
Later,

I'm glad it worked! I think I know why your first attempt didn't work. There are 4 sparsechunk files in the zip and the link with the instructions only has commands for the first 3. You have have to copy the sparsechunk command again and change the number from 3 to 4 or .2 to .3 depending on how it's labelled in the zip.

Signal loss with a Moto G 4G XT1039

Hi everyone,
First, thanks everyone for all the information I have found in this forum for the past few weeks.
Now my problem : I have a Moto G 4G XT1039 that keep losing signal randomly. The only way to get my signal back to call or receive sms seems to be a reboot of the phone.
I don't remember exactly when it started but I think it was around June. Until a month ago I never tried to root or flash my phone. I just used the official updates from Motorola. I live in France and the phone is perfect for me except this problem.
I read here and there that a lot of people seems to have the issue but I'm surprised nobody seems really pissed of.
I downgraded to 4.4.4 to see if it would solve my problem but it did not. I read that the signal loss could be caused by Android 4.4.2 so should I downgrade further ?
This weekend I flashed a nightly from CM 13, the problem is still here.
What can I do ? The problem seems to be related to the radio firmware, can I downgrade the radio firmware and keep a recent android or CM13 ?
For information my baseband version is m8926_309101.02.03.14r.
I'm not sure I post my problem in the good forum but it could help other people in my situation.
If someone has an idea....
Thanks

Firstly try the Stock ROM and Radio Firmware available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816 - follow flashing instructions to the letter - after this you can move on to CM13 if desired.

Well I have already done that, after I tried the 4.4.4 version.
I was on 5.1 then I downgraded to 4.4.4 then got back to 5.1 then tried CM 13.

Did you fastboot flash the Radio Firmware from that thread? Commands are in FAQ.

Yes I did. I event tried to flash the 5.1 radio firmware while still having the 4.4.4 android.
The baseband version I gave in my opening post is the last one for the EU region I believe.

Other Solutions to try:
1) Change SIM card / get a new SIM
2) Fastboot flash the Stock Factory Firmware Image for your phone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...falcon-factory-firmware-t3110795/post64203816

Thanks, I was going to order a new sim card to try this solution.
I already flashed the latest stock firmware last week but i will try again from scratch to be sure.

Provide fastboot logs (copy and paste command prompt) when flashing the firmware image. Fastboot may not provide errors, "okay" can mean total failure.

Hi,
Just to say that there is apparently no more signal loss with the CM13 nightly from 12/11. I hope it will last.
In the end I didn't flash stock firmware.
Thanks again for your suggestions, I will come back if the problem is back.
