Hi,
I bought my Moto G from an online store in Romania. The phone is great, but my firmware is AsiaRetail and I would like to change it to a European one, or even the Global version. Can that be done without rooting my phone? Can I somehow select which version to install with the upcoming update? If so I would be very grateful!
Thank you!
Just flash eu retail firmware with xda guide. You don't have to root etc.

Yes but it seems like I have to unlock the bootloader. I've had a lot of problems with my last phone and lost the warranty because I wanted a stock android experience. This time I'm trying to keep it simple and safe (as long as I can before I start a flashing spree again)

And talking about the flashing spree, I did surrender to it. Totally not worth it though, at least for now. Stick with stock, don't mess around, it's as good as it gets.

And what would I have to do to install a EU firmware without root or unlocked bootloader? All the guides I've found need at least one. Any help would be highly appreciated!

Dear friend, the following guide is intended for you. It does not require root, nor an unlocked bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
You'll probably want to wait until official 4.4.3 images are available - that way, you won't need to update your system after flashing, making for a very clean installation.
Enjoy

Hi Guys, I have read some topics about downgrading, but im not fully understanding if this is only for people who is already rooted or if this will work for a non rooted device. In my case i have an At&t Lg G2 not rooted with 4.4.2 kitkat and wanted to revert to 4.2 so i can root and then flash a rooted stock 4.4.2 kitkat. Is it possible to do that, even if i was never rooted? I do understand there's no root for kitkat as of now.
Thanks guys.
Well since we use the lg flash tool I don't think it should be an issue so go ahead the last time I went back to stock was when the kk rom with root and recovery came out so I'm sure you should be able to
Sent from my LG-D800 running kitkat using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes you can flash back to 4.2 with Flash Tool. If you root 4.2 and then take the AT&T update to kitkat you will keep root. This is what I did.
How about a D802? its on the official vodafone kitkat rom, with the upgraded bootloader. Loki does not work on kitkat. Is it still downgradeable to any version of jelly bean?

I did it myself earlier due to bluetooth battery drain on kitkat. Just go to the thread Return to Stock LG G2 and follow the instructions listed. You'll have to download the tot file (ROM), the flash tools and flash dll. Just follow those instructions to the letter and you'll be on 4.2.2 in no time.

Alright thanks. I just wanted to know if there were problems with the bootloader as I also have an at&t s4, which prevents the bootloader from being downgraded and bricks the device if its done.

Hello there,
I have bought Sony xperia z3 severals months ago. I'm happy with it.
I bought it from o2 Germany.
It's possible to flash/update the firmware to the unbranded/generic stock ROM? If yes, without losing DRM keys or other things and what can happen after flashing/updating to generic stock rom?
Some phone details as screenshots.
Yep just use flashtool and flash the ftf of your choice use a generic world .98 and you can root with giefroot

Do you know what the different is between generic global (I think it's the generic world) and generic Germany?
I'm not really sure could just be apps in the ROM. I think you can root the generic German one with giefroot just use .98 then you can stay get a flashable zip of .77 but lollipop should be coming soon too

Well, this goes for people who have the Moto G6 device (ali) I have the variant for colombia xt-1925-2 yesterday unlock the bootloader of my device with the fear that my phone would be dead or brick mode, anyway,the Rom Pie that there is in these forums, and has the problem that the moto Mods does not work either is not enabled to work the sensor as the main button, rom as Resurrection remix, Pixel experience but all failed, some per non-certified device for play store or play protect, or in cases the rom ali 9.0 treble that also had problems with distorted audio, it's not worth it, unlocking your phone are many errors that there are in the rom, fortunately I could re-block the bootloader of my Moto g 6
I could go back to factory firmware with bootloader oem_lock
regards
I leave images of the room ali 9.0

Hey,
i recently found an interesting website.
techdroidtips.com/install-twrp-recovery-zte-nubia-x/
techdroidtips.com/root-zte-nubia-x/
Do you think this is fake or is it worth a try?
I guess unlocking the bootloader and rooting might not be the most difficult thing (according to the history of nubia devices)...
but is it really that easy?
Im kinda getting the feeling that this is a self-generated website with nubia specs so it looks legit.
I believe these are somewhat fake.
The instructions are legit, this is the basic process to install twrp on any phone.
However, if you read through both sites where it says "click below to download twrp" its crossed out and there is no download link.
This is because TWRP does not currently exist for the Nubia X.
once TWRP is released for the Nubia X, which you can check in on here;
https://twrp.me/Devices/Nubia/
Then you can go back to those sites if you want and follow the instructions.
Also should mention those sites talk about installing CWM & Cyanogen on the X ....again these do not exist for the Nubia X
I'm keeping an eye on Nubia's Chinese forum to wait for a proper recovery ported by community developers, right now there's root but with a modified Magisk which can't be upgraded or further tweaked, I'm still waiting for a better one.

I guess you can't really flash a custom recovery with locked Bootloader, and this topic is about TWRP, not root.

look at post #49
yes, I have done the TWRP and flash the Gapps. it was almost one month. but sudden closing still.
So i don't know why this phone is so unpopular but I'm really interested in buying one over the Mi 9. I talked to the german customer service hotline and they told me that the bootloader is unlockable. They did not want to tell me how to do it. Now my question is: should I wait for someone to try to root it or should I buy the Mi 9?
I'm really interested to buy the Axon 10 Pro as it's really an awesome device with its great price. But I like to use custom ROMS and I'm wondering if it will get custom development support...

So if someone got a custom rom means they could unlock the bootloader. But what about Root? Magisk? SuperSU? What versions? I need to see a dev try it before I do.

So here's my question, what is ZTE's history with allowing us to unlock bootloaders on their phones? How long do we expect it will take before that happens? Because whether or not I buy this phone depends on rootability.
Is there any forum anywhere that sorts new phones by rootability?

I imported the phone, as it's not available here in the US. It's great little phone, but it does have it's drawbacks and one of those is rootability. ZTE has a history of locking bootloaders by eliminating the fastboot option.
