I tried downgrading my Moto G Xt1033 from GPE 4.4.4 to Motorola stock 4.4.2 and the phone is stuck at "Bootloader unlocked screen" need :crying:
Well I had the same problem just one day ago and it's a bit tough. The good thing is that you can fix and install a custom rom (I chose PA 4.42 btw) when you try. The bad thing is that you can't downgrade to 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 right now. But read for urself
I guess the reason is that the partition layout has changed with 4.4.4
I hope I did help you a little bit,

Guys be careful when trying the new nightly, I cannot revert back to stock, won't let me fastboot flash any firmware.. Now I'm stuck on Cyanogenmod

I think you cant revert to lower android versions right now because of changed partitions oder something like that... im not sure whats the problem! restore with cwm should help but it's a temporal fix

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.
Thanks dlink

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

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:

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.

Try flashing stock GPE recovery on your device.

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

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.
My 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!
