I have XT1031 with unlocked boot loader and twrp. I tried flashing cm11 M5, C-Rom and AOSPA but the phone went to a bootloop always. I have rooted my phone. I also tried flashing with cwm philz.
Also a month ago I flashed CM11 but after that I switched to stock and on flashing now bootloop occurs
I did factory reset every time and wiped cache.
Please help
The same thing happens to me, can you send the safety copy?, I need It urgently, my telephone has remained unusable and the last option is to restore a backup with the original rom.
Please

I do not know if my guide will work with XT1031, but you can try converting to GPE and after flashing those roms. For XT1033 this is the procedure. As XT1031 is CDMA, it is better having a backup of your stock rom and skipping the fastboot flash fsg fsg.img and modem parts.

Thanks For the reply. I tried but the GPE image does not work on CDMA version
This is usually caused by having the wrong or corrupt boot.img Try installing the stock image using one of the guides in this forum. Cheers.

Hi I was able to make GPE flash in my phone with the help of a nandroid backup. However it shows encryption when I start it. Can you tell me how to just change the partition to ex4 and then use the nandroid backup

PhilZ Touch Recovery has a f2fs to ext4 option.
Wipe and Format Options > Custom Format Options
I've attached the gpt.bin from the 4.4.4 GPE firmware image, flashing it via fastboot should also make the userdata partition ext4, allowing you to boot. Also make sure you flash the GPE kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649763

Hey it didn't work but can you give me the gpt file from 4.4.4 UK firmware. I'm sorry but I cannot download the whole firmware as my speed is really slow
Here is the one from the Retail EU firmware which is the same.

this error its caused because your gpt partition its wrong, in mine i had to install the xt1032 gpt file to get it to work...

my device is xt1032
and which gpt.bin should i flash?
When i flashed the gpe version i stayed with the original xt1033 gpt.bin from 4.4.4. So try to install gpt.bin from XT1032 4.4.4 ROM
I tried to downgrade my moto g from GPE (converted it) to stock rom like it was before, and now it is stuck on bootloader screen with the "warning bootloader unlocked..." sign. Every rom I try to install has now the same problem, even the GPE rom. What should i do now?

Are you on the 41.18 bootloader? If you are, don't flash the motoboot.img file as you can't downgrade the Lollipop bootloader (41.18).
Did you flash all img files including gpt?

Try flashing the 5.0.2 fastboot firmware image for your model:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58534609&postcount=519
Try re-installing GPE 4.4.4 using fastboot and then install stock 4.4.4 using fastboot.
There seem to be contradictory opinions regarding the downgrading procedure from 5.0.1 GPE(or other 5.0.x variants) to Motorola 4.4.4 KK .
So the question is: does flashing motoboot.img brick the device?
Examples:

Did I miss something or there is indeed a contradiction?
You cannot downgrade the 41.18 LP bootloader. If you try, you will receive a validation error.
So the worst case scenario for flashing motoboot.img is an validation error, but it will not brick the phone? I'm confused because here @LeopardSurd says that the phone can not boot if you do not flash motoboot.img.

This was simple my experience: flashed 4.4.4 without motoboot => the phone don't boot. Flashed only motoboot.img => phone don't boot. Flashed all the commands including motoboot.img => phone boots.

Thanks for answering.
Did you get a validation error when you flashed motoboot.img?
It strange that some people could boot 4.4.4 without flashing motoboot.
I have not seen any posts where a person was able to downgrade from the LP 41.18 bootloader to a KK bootloader. I'd like to know how they did it because I would like to do the same.
I have searched the forum and I reached the following conclusion:
Flashing 4.4.4 motoboot.img does not brick your phone, but it gives a validation error.(But in some cases you can not boot without flashing it(see above))
(Has anyone bricked their phone by flashing 4.4.4 motoboot?)
The problem seems to appear only when upgrading from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4.
The validation error will stop the flash process.
I have a KitKat nandroid and 41.18 bootloader (right now I'm with Lollipop), it will brick my phone if I restore the nandroid to go back to KitKat?
The nandroid should not touch the bootloader.
Which version of LP is on your phone? Restoring may cause a bootloop.

As I understand it, the flashing process of the motoboot.img will be stopped(remote error), but you can continue flashing other files.
Several users reported that this method works(and it implies flashing motoboot.img), so I'm inclined to say that 4.4.4 motoboot does not cause loosing access to fastboot(hardbrick). The only side-effect should be the "line bug", which can be solved by turning the screen on&off.
Am I missing something?
I meant to say the validation error will stop the flash process for motoboot.img.
The line bug remains after downgrading from LP because everything is being downgraded to KK with the except of the bootloader which remains on LP. If there was a way to downgrade the bootloader to KK, the line issue would disappear.

Hey, I managed to go back to KitKat and restore my nandroid but I had to do some things first:
Restore from Lollipop to KitKat is not possible since when restoring the data partition phone will freeze around 30mb~ mark and reboot.. so what I did was downgrade to stock 4.4.4 (via mfastboot) and then restore the nandroid.
The only problem is that if you want to go again to Lollipop you can't becouse when restoring the data partition the phone will reboot when reaching 99%.. what you can only restore is system partition, so you will end up with a fresh stock Lollipop.. I bet this is due to the repartitioning of Lollipop, we have to wait for a recovery (TWRP, CWM) with Lollipop support.
I think i t has something to do with the gtp.bin having to be flashed via fastboot before restoring a KK nandroid.
Great that it worked.

motoboot.img and gpt.bin won't flash since it gives validation error, the rest is the same
I just downgraded my XT1032 (falcon) from stock 5.0 to stock 4.4 and it won't boot anymore. I did it using the fastboot method (flashing several .img or .bin files using fastboot), as I had done it many times before in order to revert the phone to stock.
But this time it won't boot no matter what I do. It may be related to the fact that I accidentally tried to flash 4.4 partition table and bootloader (now I see the downgrading tutorials recommend against that) but I don't know what to do.
I tried pushing another ROM (in the ZIP format) via ADB, but when I try to install that ZIP in TWRP recovery, it says "unable to mount data" or "unable to mount storage". It also used to say "unable to mount system" but I think I fixed that with "fastboot format system" (which you can't do for /data).
I think I'd need Android 5 .img and .bin files in orden to fix this via fastboot, but Android 5 doesn't seem to exist in that format.
Can anyone think of a solution? Thanks in advance.
Does your phone still have the 41.18 bootloader on it?
I'm surprised that it bricked because I flash every partition except motoboot when downgrading my xt1032 8 GB from LP to KK.
U did it with unlocked bootloader or locked one..?? I am looking for a tutorial on downgrading to 4.4.4. from 5.0.2 for locked bootloader..
Unlocked bootloader. If possible, unlock the bootloader as you may not be able to downgrade without unlocking.

i flashed on unlocked boot loader
Guys help me Ibricked my moto g .Here is what i did
I have a XT1033 on stock lollipop with unlocked bootloader. So i first flashed cwm using fastboot, booted fine in recovery and back to system.
Then i again entered fastboot mode and flashed TWRP 2.8.5 for XT1032(There was no specific for xt1033). Booted fine into recovery , took a backup of entire rom .It was fine till now. Then when i booted into system the phone was stuck at boot logo. It kept on restarting again and again and when i entered fastboot mode to enter into recovery the recovery partition was also corrupted and it was stuck at teamwin logo.
but the bad things didnt end here.When i flashed stock firmware using fastboot the system sparsechunk files falshed with an error "FILE IS TOO LARGE". I tried both 4.4.4 and 5.0.2 but its still stuck at bootlogo.
PLEASE HELP ME DEVS

Flashing fastboot files will never hard brick the device...just don't play with OTA's
and yes while flashing 4.4.2 skip gpt and motoboot and while flashing asian 5.0.2 no need of skipping
