I'm currently on cyanogenmod 11 M4 and a quarter into the process of flashing to M5 the flashing is aborted. Anyone know how to fix it?
I saw in the development thread of cyanogenmod 11 that I have to update the bootloader. Is this correct? Google has not been to not help and I only find out how I can unlock the bootloader, but not update it. I have tried to update to the newest CWM too. Same thing is happening too when I'm trying to flash to the newest nightly.
Please help me. Thank you!
Hi,
Yes, you need to update your bootloader to the latest (http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/this-week-in-cm-mar-21-2014), see in attachment for a flashable zip.
It would be great to have the exact error message in recovery but flash the bootloader and try again.

Ok, thank you. And OTA update to 4.4.4 works?
I can install 4.4.2 GPE ROM (this, V1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2626803) and phone start ok. But OTA update in't work, manuly update too. Error code is: This package is for falcon_umts devices, this is a "xt1032".
Is any way to flash ROM, which work ok and OTA works corretly?

Undestand you, but I try to fix Moto G completly. 4.4.4 backup is my only possibility, then were image GPE 4.4.4...
So I have been reading but still confused. I am running validus 5.2 on my maxx HD. I am assuming I have a jb bootlaoder. I have philz touch 6.48.xx on my phone. I have tried to install validus 6 on my phone but I keep getting a status 7 error on my phone and it will not flash. I am thinking maybe I need to go back to stock and update to kk. Maybe I am wrong, I don't know. I am confused a bit on what I should do to flash to the new kk update on the custom ROMs. Any input is appreciated!
Update, I have searched and tried other methods to get rid of the status 7 error. I have unzipped and deleted the assert, get prop lines. I was able to flash validus 6 but unfortunately, it just sits on boot image. Any other ideas I can try?

if you have a xt926 you can follow this link to guide you to KK and you can install new roms afterwards.
I appreciate the help. I so want to make sure I understand, I am already rooted and unlocked, running validus 5.2 on my phone. So I still need to flash back, reroot, reunlock and upgrade to KK before trying to flash a KK custom ROM? is: CM11, validus 6?
Well after reading the other post numerous times, I think I will just start from scratch!!! Happy flashing to me. Its been a good year since using rsd but I'm sure I can follow directions!
Hello,
I keep trying to update to the latest nightly to get cyanogenmod 12 on XT1302. However they don't work. I get weird scan lines, even during the boot logo and animation. Everything is slow and unstable. During installation it always says root access possibly lost, fix, yes or no. Thankfully I have a working backup, but it's stuck on an old 2014 cm 11 snapshot and I want to upgrade
I suspect there is a problem with gapps since I get incessant "X app has stopped working error" messages and it's always a google service. However I do not know what the procedure is. I downloaded the cm12 gapps and flashed them after flashing the nightly as said in faq but it doesn't seem to work. Sometimes even Trebuchet stops working, making the phone totally unusable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :good:
Are you running with a lollipop bootloader? I think the latest CM12 requires it.

I've been googling this and I think you have correctly identified the issue. If I install the lollipop bootloader, will I be able to go back to my cm11 backup in case of an emergency?
Just to confirm, to update the bootloader, you have to flash the brazil lollipop rom and it should work?
If you unzip the stock ROM, the bootloader is the motoboot.img file.
I don't think you need to flash everything, just the bootloader file. If that doesn't allow you to use CM12, you may have to restore your CM11 nandroid and then flash CM12.
Hi,
I wonder if anyone could offer me a little assistance please ? I have a UK Tesco Moto G 16GB (2013) that I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted and CWM recovery installed. Currently, it's running 4.4.4 Kitkat. I gave up with the OTA update as I was getting the 'preflash validation failed' message. More recently, I have tried following the guide on here to flash the XT1032_GPE_5.1_Optimized_v1.1.zip file using CWM. However, this resulted in what I believe is termed a bootloop - i.e. the coloured dots animation just never stopped - I waited half an hour and it was still going.
I've managed to restore it back to my previous 4.4.4 for the moment, but I would like to move to Lollipop at some point - if I could !
Could someone suggest a method I could try please ?
Many thanks !
Kev.
Hi there.
Well, my device is a XT1032 Retail US but I may have been through the problems you're facing right now.
Here we go:
Go full stock (don't know if you revocer from a backup or already did this but in any case you'd know what to do: This guide helped me a lot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219.
Do not install any official update using a custom recovery
Make sure you got the actual latest recovery version. If you went stock from the latest firmware you should have already got it.
If you have your OTA, Install it manually from the stock recovery
This method should work. It is the one I followed.
I got two errors: 1st was because was using custom recovery.
2nd was because my rom was stock but had deleted system apps, so the install failed always at some point.
Once I flashed the latest stock firmware including the stock recovery, I was able to install my OTA update.
Let me know if this works.
TWRP says "Patching system image unconditionally" for CM 14.1 nightly on XT1033
Hey I have a question please help me.....
I have an old Moto G (1st Gen Indian Retail Unit) XT1033. I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp recovery. When flashing the CM 14.1 nightly it is stuck at "Patching system image unconditionally" for about an hour now. What might be the problem? I've searched a lot in xda forums but of no luck. :crying: Can anyone guide me through this?
Thanks in advance.

* When you boot into recovery, TWRP asks for write permissions? If it does, allow modifications and try to flash again.
* Also you can try to download the ZIP file again, maybe the download went bad or corrupted.
* When this happened to me I made a *very clean install*. This means, that before flashing the zip file you wipe all the partitions (cache, dalvik, system, data, internal storage). Then reboot to recovery again, copy the zipfile and the google apps from the PC over USB, then flashed both zip files and then rebooted without problems.
The problem that you describe also happened to a friend's phone but unfortunately for him, it was a faulty phone (internal storage was starting to degrade, eventually it stopped working).
Thanks. I am going to bed right now and try to do something tomorrow morning. Also, is root access mandatory for flashing custom ROM? I am currently in stock 5.1 ROM if that matters.
P.S. I was thinking that may be it could work if I go from 5.1 to 6.0 on the CM 13 and then go to CM 14.1. Would that make any difference than going directly to CM 14.1 from stock ROM running on 5.1?
Help Guys!! I can't get it to work! And also my twrp is not asking for any permissions.
My Bootloader is version 41.1A if that matters anything.
UPDATE: I flashed the CM 13 Snapshot and it worked. I am now going to try updating from CM 13 to CM 14.1
One doubt, I currently have no GApps flashed. Can I go ahead and update to CM 14.1 and then download and flash GApps for CM 14.1? Or should I flash GApps for both CM 13 and CM 14.1 separately?
Solved!! After installing CM 13.0 I was able to install CM 14.1 successfully. Sorry for the late post.
