[Q] Downgrade to 4.3 without root / bootloader unlock. - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am facing lots of difficulties with my Moto G 4.4 kitkat.
The sim gets disabled on its own and I am left with no network.
This my second Moto g and facing the same problem. I was thinking maybe if I downgrade to 4.3 , the issue will be solved .
Is it possible to downgrade to 4.3 without root and bootloader unlock as I don't want to lose my warrenty.

Download which ever applies to your model: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14 then run the batch file.:good: Also remember to be in fastboot mode (reboot while holding volume down and power)

You can't downgrade it without unlocking the boot loader..

You can, I downgraded my phone without unlocking it, you just have to delete a few lines from the .bat file.

I think you cant revert to lower android versions right now because of changed partitions oder something like that... im not sure whats the problem! restore with cwm should help but it's a temporal fix

[Q] Help : Phone stuck on Bootloader Unlocked screen after downgrade from 4.4.4 GPE

I tried downgrading my Moto G Xt1033 from GPE 4.4.4 to Motorola stock 4.4.2 and the phone is stuck at "Bootloader unlocked screen" need :crying:
Well I had the same problem just one day ago and it's a bit tough. The good thing is that you can fix and install a custom rom (I chose PA 4.42 btw) when you try. The bad thing is that you can't downgrade to 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 right now. But read for urself
I guess the reason is that the partition layout has changed with 4.4.4
I hope I did help you a little bit,

Moto g Downgrade problem

i have motorola moto g indian dual sim version XT1033
i already updated 4.4.4 through OTA
then i rooted and unlock bootloader and install custom roms like crdroid n5 experience
but i am not satisifed with custom rom (bugs sometime stuck poor camera quality etc..)
so i decided go back to stock rom
i already have 4.4.2 firmware zip file
i nstalled firrmware through mfastbot v2
but get error something like this
Ready to flash signed images!
OK: (time)
I do fastboot flash partition gpt.bin and I get:
Preflash validation failed!
SST lock failure!
pls anyone help me
or anyone upload 4.4.4 retail dualsim firmware or download link
Downgrade is always very dangerous. You can brick the phone easily.
You could try this:
XT1033_RETAIL-BR-DS_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_38_cid12_CFC_1FF_SVC.xml.zip
It's Brazilian Retail Global GSM Dual-SIM 4.4.4 firmware, so should work for you through fastboot.
Thanks dlink

The first command will fail if you are downgrading...it is supposed to fail...don't worry...just ignore it and skip it and continue with the other commands...

The procedure for 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 is the same for all models...All you have to do is flash the updated recovery and the SuperSU zip
