hey there everyone. I have an unlocked xt1032 from US(I'm unlocked and living in Ireland) and Im rooted. I recently saw moto g has 4.4.3 update. will I be able to see that I have an update or I'm not able to see if there's an update available. do I need to remove root to see update or what ?

As long as you have the stock recovery and you didn't remove sistem apps you should be fine

I can't find any link for how to restore stock recovery. can anyone help please ?
Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk

the only guides I can find is press a button on moto tool to flash stock recovery image. does this work ?

X1032 firmware on x1033

Hi,
I have a X1033 dual sim version.
I am using the stock 4.4.2 rom. It is rooted but i cant to anything with my status bar via xposed(gravity box).
I saw that the single sim version has no issues. So i was thinking whether or not the single sim firmware can be installed. I use only 1 sim anyway.

Yes all the stock firmwares of the XT1032 are compatible with XT1033 (SINGLE SIM ONLY)
Ok so if i flash a x1032 firmware on my x1033 it will become a x1032

In my country there are retail single sim firmwares, not sure where you're from though. Gotta try out one that doesn't messes with the radio.

[Questions]Moto G GPE

I have a few questions before I convert to moto g
1. Does the Moto Tool actually convert your phone? (Does it work?)
2. Is their anyone with the GPE boot animation I can flash??
3. Will converting let me download Google apps from the play store that are only for GPE specific phone?
And the most important one..
What custom recoveries work with GPE variant?

None care to help?
Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk
1. It just flashes the GPE firmware. Don't know how you define "converting" something.
2. I have no idea what you meant by this.
3. Yes. At least that was the case with the Googne Now Launcher which I desperately wanted.
And the recovery you use doesn't really matter.

you realise you could have had the Google launcher without changing to GPE.
the apk isn't exactly hard to find.

Yeah but I like the Boot Animation as well and the stock android feel

The stock ROM is almost pure stock anyway. You can just Google the bootanimation for xhdpi.

GPE variant works with all if i remember correctly but i recommend TWRP. I "converted" my XT1028 (Verizon) to GPE and stopped receiving 3g.

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.

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

Moto G GPE 4.4.4 not upgrading to 5.0.1

I have a Moto G (XT1032) running 4.4.4 GPE, and it will not update to Andoid 5.0.1 GPE. I go to install the update, and then it powers off and boots to recovery mode and says this:
Code:
PhilZ Touch 6.55.0
ClockworkmodMod v6.0.5.0
Finding update package...
Opening update package...

I honestly have no idea what to do as my device is running 4.4.4 not 4.4.2 and it even says my build number is right in About Phone.

I have flashed the stock recovery, I'm now waiting for the notification to update to 5.0.1 and after that I'll get back to you.
I have the same problem with the german 5.0.2 retail update.
Strange error, i only flashed 4.4.2 manually some time ago. 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 were OTA updates.
Did flashing the stock recovery work? Unfortunately i haven't enough time at the moment to test it myself.
Flashing stock recovery has not worked, although I have never had nor have flashed 4.4.2

Damn it.
I don't really understand this. We updated from and to different versions and got the exact same problem.
I know, it's really weird. In wondering if anyone else on XDA is having this problem

Did you try updating all apps using the Play Store? I had to update my Moto apps before I could get the 5.02 update for my xt1032.
I'll give it a try

It's not worth trying to upgrade to lollipop unless your phone is rooted.

A rooted phone may not take the ota update properly. Try unrooting first.
I'll give it a try later today, thanks!
