If I unlock the Moto G bootloader, will it get rid of Android 4.4.2?

If you unlock bootloader you still will be on stock 4.4.2 but you can install custom recovery & flash custom roms.

Hello,
I have a motorola g GPE and I think about flashing another custom rom. But I wonder it is possible to get back to the GPE again?
I mean that I can lock my bootloader again. As I read on the forum, there is a system dump of moto g gpe but it is not singed so it is not possible to lock the botloader on this rom.
Is it possible to backup all the partitions using fastboot? Like not only the system?

Oh, I have missed that link to the image. Thanks.
EDIT: Is it possible to flash Motorola firmware onto Google play edition moto g? I could not find any information about that, everything what I found was related to how to convert regular moto g to gpe.
Hi, how can i re-convert my Moto G GPE (ex Moto G EU) to Moto G EU?

Download 4.4.3/4.4.2 and wait for update, if is available for your EU ROM then you will get it after few mins after boot.

if he is on 4.4.4 GPE he cant downgrade to 4.4.2, bootloader will get an error and he will get stuck @ bootloader loop like me and alot of others, at least, try it and tell us if its worked.

Sorry, I did not know this. I deleted my post...
I hadn't noticed your first post (#3 in this thread)
I also thought that I return to the Moto ROM, but I see that there are problems with it, so I'll wait for 4.4.4 Factory image, or I'll stay on GPE.
Since everyone here says unlocking the bootloader and permanently rooting moto G xt1028 is impossible, I'm thinking of flashing xt1031 bootloader and rom on xt1028.
Using adb and fastboot, I'd flash the motoboot.img(bootloader) from xt1031(boost mobile) to xt1028(verizon) and replace verizons default bootloader. Then flash the XT1031 stock rom to xt1028.
Maybe that would allow me to unlock the bootloader, root and install custom roms on the device?
Its all the same hardware after all.
Would it be possible? I mean, I don't want to mess up my device......
Do you want a brick? That's how you get a brick

you can't do because there are bootloaders for each one
im sorry, but you can't do something except "temporal root"

Hi, If I leave the bootloader locked and flash the stock based rooted rom(saw it somewhere on xda) via ADB, would I be able to achieve permanent root?
I thought Stock base roms can be flashed via ADB without unlocking bootloader. Correct me if I am wrong.
im about to flash official cm12.1 from kitkat 4.4.4 on moto g xt1033, so i just wondering if i will be making any mistake.
the first thing is that i should upgrade my bootloader from 41.13 to 41.19?
and should i flash bootloader with twrp? since im on philz can i just flash with it?
is there any thing that i should know right now?

Xt1033's latest bootloader is 41.18 and not 41.19
Use fastboot for flashing bootloader
BE CAREFUL
IF BOOTLOADER DIES YOUR PHONE DIES

Search XDA or look in the Moto G 2015 General Forum. Everything you need to know is here if you look for it. BTW, once unlocked, the bootloader will always be unlocked but that won't affect updating.
I also have a moto g3 with same things.. Bootloader unlocked, rooted.
I'm using lollipop now
How to update to marshmallow
I can't use the option in settings any more since I'm using unlocked bootloader
