Probably you have flashed incorrect roms? Check yoyr model version XT1032, XT1033 or XT 1034. Use rom for your model.
no Its XT1032 any help pls??

[Q] Moto G GPe Downgrade to 4.3?

Hi All,
I have looked through the forums and searched the Google and I can't find the correct info for my situation so I appreciate any help.
I have a Moto G GPe that I ordered from Google Play, it came with Android 4.4.2 on it and I am wondering if I can downgrade it to 4.3.
I've unlocked the bootloader and it looks like I should be able to flash a custom recovery, the problem is that I cannot find an image for the stock Moto G GPe 4.3 firmware.
I want to downgrade because I have a need to test an Android app on 4.3.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

There is a regular Motorola 4.3 firmware available
you can get it here - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
just to let you know, it will try to force you to update to 4.4.2

Awesome, I wasn't sure if I could use the regular Motorola firmware on it. I had read that the partition tables are different and I've only seen threads where people flash from the Motorola firmware to the GPe version.
Do you think this would present any problems?
Thanks again.
Backup anything you want to keep because the phone will be completely wiped. There should be no problems. You can find out how to easily disable KitKat 'update' notifications, if you search this forum. It's worth considering there is an issue with the Moto G that should be patched in the next few weeks, but that will require you to update to 4.4.2/3.

[Q] Before I buy questions..

hey everyone, so I am thinking of moving from my **** I9500 (good phone) just for the reason that I cant flash aosp Roms. So I would like to go for a nexus device and just to makre sure...there are many Roms for this phone without any problems right? I know its a nexus, but just to make sure because the I9500 had a problems with AOSP. Also how much space do you get in the 16gb model....and is it enough for some music and apps.
Thanks

You have about 12,5 GB left for you on the 16GB model, and yes development is great regarding rom`s, kernels and mods.

Is it true that there are develoment problems with the 32gb model?

Not as far as i know, why would storage size be a problem. They are all the same roms for both the 16 and 32GB models.

There weren't any problems with the 32gb model. Just user error

I wonder where all these misconceptions come from?
plenty of asop ROMS to go around and I recommend the 32GB version

[Q] Republic Wireless Moto G Rooting

Has anyone has success in rooting RW's Moto G?
Mine is going to get here tomorrow and there are some apps that I can't live without; of course, they all require root.
I see that the Moto X (for RW) has been successfully rooted, but no news on the G.
If anyone is able to root this Moto G, I'd love to hear about it, as would tons of other customers of Republic Wireless.
Note: If the rooting was successful and the phone seems stable, please share the details as to the process you used.
Update: After looking further into the situation, it seems that safestrap does not work on android 4.4.
The method for rooting the Moto X under RW requires safestrap, so maybe the Moto G does too?
Just my thoughts, it would be nice if someone responded with their own ideas.
You're the first I have heard of someone having the Republic Wireless version. I see they just became available last month. Do you know what the model # is? Is it a XT1031 like the Boost (Sprint) version? Did u get the 8 or 16 gig version? Could you post what your firmware version is? Have you tried unlocking the boot loader through the Motorola website? I'm really curious about the RW version of these phones. Verizon and Boost don't have 16 gig versions. So, these are the first CDMA versions available with 16 gig of storage.

Me too!
I just got this phone as well.
Not sure how to tell my model number. 16 G version. Firmware, is that baseband, kernal, or system version?
I tried unlocking the bootloader through Moto, the website said my phone was lot eligible.
Will post my info if you tell me where to look on the phone.
Tks,
E

The firmware is the system version. I just curious. I'm not really sure where to look up the model #. Mine just says "Moto G" on that screen. That's cool that you got a 16 gig version. I wish Verizon had those!
Sent from my XT1028 using Tapatalk
Right ON. Just switched from 7 years with Verizon....
My Model # is Moto G as well.
System Version: 175.44.27.falcon_cdma.RepublicWireless.en.US
Ideas?

Unfortunately, no. So far, no one has found a way to get around these "not eligible" locked boot loaders.

Sorry for the super late response. Airdroid refers to it as the XT1031, so same as the Boost (and possibly all Sprint network) versions.

Custom roms and differences between 8/16GB versions

Hi,
I am looking at potentially buying a Moto G 2015 and am tempted to go for the 16GB rom / 2Gb ram version.
Will any custom rom install on it as it would install on the 8GB regular version? I've quickly checked the forum and assume that "YES" , but jsut want to be 100% sure.
Thanks!
