1) If your not rooted and still stock... you dont have to worry about downloading it there.. But just in case, Just check which model you got, if its the international version, you should download this one: Blur_Version.172.44.4.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US for kitkat or Blur_Version.14.14.16.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US for jellybean.
2) Once your receive your moto g,you can update it to 4.4.2 since OTA is already out for US. I got mine from uk and i live in Mauritius, i received the OTA like others in the uk.
3) Never tried this, but it should work.. You will receive the OTA but can't confirm installation will be successful without errors . you could just disable the app (eg: moto assist) and it doesn't require root.
4) You don't need to worry if you have the 16gb or 8gb, since you will download the same firmware.

Differences in firmwares? Honk Kong D and Taiwan D?

In Hong Kong D there is no option for LTE and I cant root it with towelroot, in the Taiwan rom I have LTE and it can be rooted. Why is the difference in the two roms?

D83810f-twn-XX = Taiwan

Hi, did you rooted your D838 HKG 10d phone? I've the same and towelroot doesn't work.
Did you flashed your D838 HKG 10d to e.g. Singapore firmware version? Which root tool you used?

Ok @tainka, last question:
How do you flash your D838 HKG 10d with Taiwanese firmware without root and where you get this Taiwanese 10d rom?
This is my first LG phone so sorry for noob questions.

Thanks for your answer @tainka - again . But, you see, this wasn't last questions - sorry.:crying:.
Could you share this Taiwanese kdz file? On the cloud? Will be great...
Or maybe you can provide exactly name of this file because I found one kdz file with 10d firmware but there wasn't write is this for Hong Kong, Taiwan or Singapore, so I'm scary to flash it.
Or, another question cool, how did you know that this firmware was for Taiwan not for Hong Kong or Singapore? Or maybe you can give me exactly size of this file or md5?
And again Q. When you flashed your Taiwanese firmware over Hong Kong, you are using LG Flash Tool 2014. But when I looked on the first screen of this app I found very scary me option says: CDMA (but not GSM). Why this scary me? Becoz I'm from Poland, and here we only have GSM networks, not CDMA.
My question is: did you use your flashed phone with GSM network or CDMA? Or, maybe you know that this option has no differences with flashing GSM or CDMA network and I should't scare about this?
Sorry for this investigation, but, you know, I don't want to brick my expensive phone...
Edited: 21:20, 16.11.2014.
For someone who want to know and how - I made it.
1. Bought LG G Pro 2 [16GB 838 model] with preinstalled firmware D838v10d-HKG (that's mean Hong Kong). In this software I didn't have LTE working, but I know I should because of this nice piece of hardware.
2. I tried to root my LG by towelroot from beloved @geohot, but it says - "Device not supported"
3. I dug a xda forum and realize, also thanks to answers of @tainka, that maybe, when I change my firmware, I can root my device in simple way? (bcoz is hard way and harder too).
4. So, with heart in mouth I downloaded some kdz firmwares, even didn't know for what country those was, and try to flash...
5. I used great new flashing tool which works with LG G Pro 2 too and flash D83810f_00.kdz file. Newest firmware, but I didn't know for which country it was.
6. After going flash procedure from page above (you should change language for your preferences bcoz if not, you will see Korean signs as communicates) I get phone with 10f firmware with marker D83810f-ESA-XX. AnyOne know for which country it is?
7. After flashing I realized that my Mobile Data not working. GSM/Voice coverage was ok, but connection to Internet was possible only by WiFi.
8. So, I scared and tried back to my 10d version but I didn't have my original kdz file from Hong Kong, only one from Internet, D83810d_00.kdz - this is this name. Of curse, I didn't know for which country it was too.
9. And after second flash I found that this version was for Taiwan - D83810d-TWN-XX, and 4G (LTE) is working in Poland, and, better, now I rooted my LG G Pro 2 by towelroot with one touch!
10. I almost forgot - CDMA in LG Flash Tool 2014 didn't change anything for me. I got GSM network only in my country (and about CDMA network no one heard in Poland), I used CDMA option in LG Flash Tool 2014 and after flash my mobile works in GSM network. Voila.
So, making summary:
Hong Kong version of 10d firmware not working with LTE in Poland, and can't be rooted by towelroot.
And opposite for this, Taiwanese version of 10d working with LTE in Poland and can be rooted by towelroot.
And both can be flashed on my device without scary. Now I know it [emoji14].
Last but not least: thank you @tainka for your help.
I hope this story help someone and prevent from mistakes.

I have LTE on my device, same firmware and version than yours without flashing anything.
You just have to change something on the build.prop once rooted. I read here on XDA the procedure, find out a little bit. Once done, LTE won't show on the settings menu to choose it but device will get LTE and icon on statusbar will show it.

You can try to reflash native baseband of 10d version firmware. But I can't guarantee it help you (bcoz of your country code), and of course, I'm not responsible if you brick your phone.
You can find native baseband file inside archive of Gpro2 CN V6 rom, in ,zip format, ready to flash through recovery - at least, I found it inside that file (Gpro2 CN V6.rar) - you must ask uncle Google. And I flashed it on some v10f rom, and it worked.
But, again, you will do it at your own risk.
And please, report if working!

[Q] [QUESTION] Moto G Retail Version

Hi guys.
I was using the Lollipop version 5.0.2, but I did downgrade to 4.4.4 KitKat
I could not install the Brazil Retail version, so I opted for the Asia Retail.
Is there any difference between them? (I'm live in Brazil)
thanks!

Wrong section to ask questions, perhaps different radio.

So far, the signal is stabilized, 3G operating normally. All right? Or I wanna try to install the Brazilian version?

cellular network state disconnected please advise

I searched this forum and others and could not find anything that answered my question. If I am posting in the wrong place I sincerely apologize. If I did something totally stupid to my phone please tell me...here it is:
I have a text now moto g xt1032 with an unlocked bootloader, rooted, TWRP recovery.
I canceled textnow service and then flashed a rom (XT1032 Retail US Optimized v1.3) to get rid of text now's horrible rom that was preinstalled on it. This is not my DD and if I totally ruin it I can live with that but I hope that's not the case. I thought everything went perfectly.
I thought I might try to activate with TING. The MEID check said the phone was compatible (it did show an odd device name xtsomething instead of moto g) and they gave me a phone number and I believe my MSL but when I went to do over the air programming it wouldn't work because I can not enable data/cell network. It just says account could not be validated when I dial ##DATA#.
Sooo... should I try to find a way to manually program or do something here? Or is this because of my baseband/kernal?
My info:
moto G xt1032
android: 5.0.2
baseband version: msm8626bp_1032.390.81.01P BOOST_CUST
kernal version: 3.4.42-g6f35b04-00002 [email protected] #1 Wed Apr 15 11:59:10 CDT 2015
system version: 220.41.36.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US
Build number: see above
network type: cdma - EvDo rev. A
Voice: In service/data:in service
cellular network state: disconnected
Thanks guys for being so helpful and awesome!
PS will the xt1032 umts kernal be compatible with all of the above in case I need to do that?

You currently have a kit kat radio. According to the link below you should be using one of these for 5.02.

What are the C model numbers of Australian Mate 9s?

I purchased a Mate 9 off Gumtree, but it was from Vodafone and it's stuck on MHAL09C346B136. Apparently, there are virtually no updates for the Vodafone Australia version so I want to give the phone the FunkyHuawei treatment and change the model number to and unbranded Australian model that will actually get updates as B136 is freaking ancient...
So if anyone knows which model for Australian that I should be using, please let me know!
Also if you are in Perth and have messed with Funky before - hit me up, I would love to pay you to flash my Mate 9!! (Yup I'm nervous!)

I think its C636 like the australians P9 Models
Edit: Wait, the p8 is C470

Nah, C636 is Southeast Asia / Asia Pacific (but not including Australia).

That's weird because my mate 9 is single sim... It only lists dual sim there.

I don't think FH lets you rebrand to any Australian models, check their website. Also, talk to duraaraa ..
From what I understand, there are ~3 "C" models in Australia - Optus and Vodafone have their own specific models and then there is a "Carrier Free" model (sold by JB HiFi/Hardly Normal), which is actually a Dual-SIM model. The Optus/Voda is Single-SIM only..
MHA-L09C34 = Optus
MHA-L09C346 = Voda
MHA-L29C652 = Harvey Norman Dual-SIM model.
Thread about rebranding talks about these 3 models also... https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...0-mate9-to-t3554656/post70992863#post70992863
C272 / C470 / C567 - ASIA PACIFIC / AUSTRALIA
Note: C567 is USA and C470 is New Zealand.. I believe
More info on regions here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...gion-codes-t3555086/post70992958#post70992958
If any option is viable, it would be rebranding to the MHA-L29C636 branding, which has been detailed on the forums here etc... That has been said to be one of the quickest to get updates... rebranding from a Single-SIM to a Dual-SIM model works and it just makes the second IMEI just show as 0's.

Ok, thanks for info... Good to know - I bought my C636 from Thailand... Can you tell me if VoLTE is working on yours (if you are using a telco which supports it) ? The setting doesn't show up on mine, and I thought it was because I bought the C636 model which is not an Australian model / wouldnt include the AU VoLTE configs.. Tho my guess is the Optus / Vodafone models include their VoLTE configs in their specific firmwares.. Telstra of course do not sell the phone - so no specific firmware available..

I have the Vodafone version and it doesn't have the setting anywhere - I am using it on Optus though, not sure if that has any bearing on the situation.
Also - Leighm0... would you be willing to have a go at rebranding my Mate 9? I only have a Chromebook and I need windows to do it I think. I own my own company and we run on ChromeOS - so everyone is using ChromeOS... The disadvantage of owning a Pixel LS!!! I'm in Perth, our offices are in Brookfield Place in the city.

Yeah - going to assume Vodafone version contains VoLTE for vodafone (if they even have support for it on their network?) ...
Sorry I'm not too comfortable messing with this phone yet, I'm still running stock without any rooting or custom recovery etc...

Telstra and Optus both have VoLTE - my wife has it on her Note 5.. shows as VoLTE icon in the status bar up the top when its available.. Theres a thread here on XDA about the option being available, but only if your provider support it AND there are configuration files for it in your "cust" partition..
