Hello,
I have a motorola g GPE and I think about flashing another custom rom. But I wonder it is possible to get back to the GPE again?
I mean that I can lock my bootloader again. As I read on the forum, there is a system dump of moto g gpe but it is not singed so it is not possible to lock the botloader on this rom.
Is it possible to backup all the partitions using fastboot? Like not only the system?

Oh, I have missed that link to the image. Thanks.
EDIT: Is it possible to flash Motorola firmware onto Google play edition moto g? I could not find any information about that, everything what I found was related to how to convert regular moto g to gpe.

Hi guys!
I want to install GPE, but i´m worried because some people are getting stuck at bootloop. My Moto G is rooted and runs on 4.3, how should i proceed?
for 1032xt should be easy
unlock bootloader
update to motorola 442
convert to gpe with any method, maybe flashing manually via adb fastboot, or using the tool in android original development 2.4
ready
moto g is a very easy to recover phone like any nexus
I'm not able to receive OTAs anymore. Is there a flashable zip of stock 4.4.2 for xt1032? Or a method by fastboot that it's not necessary to era se user data?
Hi, how can i re-convert my Moto G GPE (ex Moto G EU) to Moto G EU?

Download 4.4.3/4.4.2 and wait for update, if is available for your EU ROM then you will get it after few mins after boot.

if he is on 4.4.4 GPE he cant downgrade to 4.4.2, bootloader will get an error and he will get stuck @ bootloader loop like me and alot of others, at least, try it and tell us if its worked.

Sorry, I did not know this. I deleted my post...
I hadn't noticed your first post (#3 in this thread)
I also thought that I return to the Moto ROM, but I see that there are problems with it, so I'll wait for 4.4.4 Factory image, or I'll stay on GPE.
Okay so my moto g is on lolipop gpe converted, but i want to go back stock. i know how to flash it and stuff but is there a chance i can brick it due to bootloader differences or anything? like how do i go about this do i need 4.4.4 or is 4.4.2 ok? thanks. *URGENT*
To be safe, flash a 4.4.4 ROM but don't flash motoboot.img even if you don't have the 41.18 bootloader.
I was able to flash my xt1032 with the 41.18 bootloader back to stock Telus 4.4.4. I was even able to flash stock US Retail 4.4.4. I never tried 4.4.2 and I never flashed motoboot.img.

how do i know if its 4.4.4 or 4.4.2??
You'll have to look at the Moto g firmware names. Sometimes, you have to guess. It;s important because you want to ensure that the modem in your phone supports the ROM and carrier.
Do you have the xt1032 (i.e. falcon)?

yeah mate thats the one
What bootloader is on your phone? If you have the 41.18, you'll experience the ripple effect on your phone until you lock/unlock your phone using the lockscreen.
Hi,
Im on cm12 on the moto g. I want to return to stock motorola 5.0.2. Do i need to have stock recovery (currently on latest twrp) and if so, where can I get it? Also where can I get the xt1032 stock 5.0.2? Lastly, can i just flash it over, or is there more to it?
Sorry for being a noob.

I have a XT1032. In the past it ran Motorola (not GPE or anything) Kitkat 4.4.2. Three months ago I upgraded it to GPE 5.0.1, because of my stupidity for not realizing what "GPE" meant. I hate this GPE and have already done with it. Could you guys, please, show me a way to go back to Motorola firmware Kitkat 4.4.2. I don't want anything relating to GPE anymore. :crying::crying::crying:
My XT1032 is en-us version, FYI.
Download the stock 4.4.4 ROM for your phone from here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=1
Flash it manually using fastboot commands. Do no flash anything below 4.4.4 as doing so may brick your phone.

Thank you. Instead of downgrading, can I upgrade GPE 5.0.1 to Motorola 5.0.2, then wait for Motorola 5.1 OTA update? Is there any risk to switch between GPE and non-GPE (Motorola)?
The partition layouts are slightly different and I believe the data partition on gpe (ext4) and stock (f2fs) are not the same.

audit13, I really don't understand all the commands I need to type when using mfastboot. When upgrading my phone to GPE, I followed this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/gpe-ota-lrx21z-5-0-1-xt1033-xt1032-t2969847). Is there any difference? Could you show me some links to learn about how to use those commands? I don't know what I should type, what I should do step-by-step. Thank you.
