So,tpday was a hard day for me. Yesterday i installed 4.4.2 GPe rom on my xt1032 and immediately got a 4.4.4 update,and of course,i updated. Tried to install aero kernel,and i ended up in a boot loop,so i tried to install a stock eu xt1032 firmware,and ended in a brick. I managed to unbrick it and install a custom rom (i can post a tutorial on unbricking if you guys want) but,i want to install stock xt1032 firmware,but when i try to flash it,it's constantly giving errors. For instance, gpt.bin always throws an error,and i have to flash a custom rom again. Can anyone help? Thanks in advantage

gpt and motoboot will give you errors, you should skip those in order to downgrade, the rest of the files should flash without problems. I have flashed stock 4.4.3, downgraded to 4.4.2, installed GPE 4.4.2 to get 4.4.4 and then I flashed 4.4.2 Germany to get stock 4.4.4. Since I upgraded to 4.4.3 I had to skip gpt and motoboot and had no issues.

edit:no,cannot install stock with this method man. i got sparsechunk errors. and i really want to boot stock rom,i'm sick of custom roms.i regret the day when i converted my moto g to GPe. if anyone has a way to return to xt1032 from 4.4.4 GPe,please share it.and for those that don't know,don't ever convert your moto g to GPe.
I went from GPE 4.4.4 back to stock yesterday without flashing gpt.bin and motoboot.img with no issues. I then got the official Moto 4.4.4 OTA which worked fine.
I have an unlocked UK device so I flashed the most recent UK 4.4.2 ROM (Blur_Version.176.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.GB),
The sparsechunk files have different names to those mentioned in the downgrade guide though.
Here's the commands I used:
Code:
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot

I had faux kernal installed before downgrading to 4.3.. should I have to install a jelly bean kernal first before running these commands ? now I'm stuck on a bootloop ? pls help me ?
is there any way to install custom rom or any rom using fastboot?
I installed TWRP recovery "it says- unable to mount data" then I flashed CWM it also says "can't mount sd card"
what is the issue here ? pls help me I'm about to have a massive heart attack
As far as I am aware, you cannot boot Stock 4.3 with an updated Bootloader (you flashed motoboot, but that will not have downgraded the bootloader). If you can find the custom kernel for 4.3 Faux created - that may work. Otherwise, you have to install 4.4.2 or newer.

thanks for the reply.. later I managed to flash GPE rom and got it working again..

I was about to downgrade from stock Kitkat 4.4.4 to JB as well... now I'll hold back. Anyone got a correct way to downgrade from 4.4.4 to JB ?
*I'm rooted with unlocked BL running stock rom
There is no known way to downgrade the Bootloader (to the 4.3 compatible-version) and you should be warned it is dangerous to experiment in this area. The 4.3 Kernel will not boot with an updated Bootloader.
I have a MotoG GPE (I buy from Google Play Store) but when I get it I convert from GPE to non GPE so I can install ROM like Cyanongen or others. Now I'll like to test new 5.0.1 via OTA since there is no factory images yet I I'll like to know which are the steps I should follow in order to do this. I have this files in my power: 4.4.2(Android) KOT49H(Build) 41.05(Bootloader) 1032.340.63.00R(Baseband), 4.4.4(Android) KTU84P(Build) 41.13(Bootloader) 1032.390.81.01P(Baseband), 5.0.1(Android) LRX21Z(Build) 41.18(Bootloader) 1032.3108.94.00R(Baseband) so should I downgrade to 4.4.2 then upgrade to 4.4.4 and then upgrade to 5.0.1? Is that the right flow? If this is is the right flow then for downgrade to 4.4.2 I should do it using this:
Code:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
Then repeat the whole process for 4.4.4 and then sideload 5.0.1 OTA update? Is that right? I have fear since I see many bricked their phones and I tried some days ago and get stuck on the Google boot logo for at least 5 min and get back to TWRP recovery for restore the previous backup was tedious almost 5 hours to get back my phone, so I need some advice from experts here. What are the right steps to update my phone and what you would say for this 5.0.1 will be good to leave a custom ROM for get into this one?
Hello guys, I´m in doubt here, and although i´ve been reading some posts, I cannot seem to understand the procedure to install Motorola´s 5.0.2 in my Moto G, actually on 5.0.1 GPE.
As far as I know, I need to wipe it off, then convert partitions to f2fs and then flash via custom recovery?
I´ve tried twice, but cannot install TWRP, will try with Phillz.
BTWy, my device is rooted and bootloader unlocked.
Thanx for any guidance you may lend me, I´m at work and cannot dwelve deep into hundreds of threads. I have already downloaded Blur_Version.210.12.40.falcon_umts.Brasil.en.BR.zip the official Motorola 5.0.2.
Thanks!!
you need the 4.4.4 firmware first and mfastboot v2 files to go back to stock motorola firmware.
and since you updated to 5.0.1 GPE, your bootloader has been updated, so when you downgrade to 4.4.4, you will see screen flickers.
Here are the commands,you must enter these commands one by one using command prompt (hold shift, and right click and choose open command window here) in the folder where the firmware files are (including the mfastboot files)
connect your phone to the computer with usb cable and type the command to go into the bootloader
adb reboot bootloader
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
and you need this firmware to be installed first before installing the lollipop update
XT1032_RETAIL-BR-SS_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_42_cid12_CFC_1FF
Thanx!
Well thank.you sir, very informative response.
Just to be super super-sure, no need to un-root or lock the bootloader right?

Hello guys I would like to do the same, I have the Gpe and install Motorola 5.0.2, but before I want to know how to fix the flicker screen, I don't get it using android but when I'm on twrp, it's annoying, do you have any idea how to fix it?
Sent from my XT1058 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
nice!
So i´ve flashed 5.0.2, with the method described here, it was *too* easy.
I did not, how ever, get the flickering screen bug...
So thanks again. and this is a safe way to go from gpe 5.0.1 to moto 5.0.2.

Stock recovery mate, well my happy story has come to a misterious error I cannot by any means sort out..
please see this post: Weird issue
I only just rooted my wife's Moto G a couple of nights ago as I was going to install the Brazilian lollipop version but thought better of it. Now the official update and I can't install it for her, even though it has stock recovery and stock 4.4.4, so I take it its because the su payload is still installed.
So what's the best way to unroot? Surely all that manually installing each part separately crap is totally out of date?
faster and without problems- reflash current rom

Balls. So I did what was suggested on here, copied the 4.4.4 file to the internal memory, wiped the phone and the zip won't install in twrp. What do I do now?

You need stock recovery and no root. Then you need to flash the stock firmware with fastboot. It's a simple process that I've done a few times. I'm on my phone right now and don't have time to provide a link, but search the forum for flash stock firmware.
Sent from my XT1034 using Tapatalk
Copy your brain to internal memory... you read any tutorial? so many... go and read, but be carefull to not broke your device
The stock xml.zip file needs to be unzipped and each partition needs to be flashed using fastboot or mfastboot commands.
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
You may get a prevalidation error when trying to flash motoboot.img. If you do, just skip it.
When flashing the sparsechunk files, change the name to match the sparsechunk files in the zip.
My phones' bootloader report " software status : modified " is there any way to revert it back to OFFFICAL ? Not rooted, no custom recovery, running bone stock motorola firmware flashed with RSD Lite but still it shows as " modified ". My phone was never able to take an OTA as well. Bootloader unlocked, puerto rico xt1225 flashed to brazil firmware. Any help to get this status into OFFICAL again will be appriciated.
ps : flashed puerto rico 5.0.2 firmware with rsd, wiped cache and factory resetted but still it shows " modified " grrr.
have you try via command in fastboot?
the commands are inside of the file flashfile.xml translating it become:
Code:
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
mfastboot flash radio radio.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot erase clogo
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
mfastboot reboot
i use mfastboot and put all the file of the XML rom in that folder mfastboot folder.
you need to check the file flashfile.xml or the files to see how many system.img_sparsechunk.# you have to change how many command (mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.#) you will give, the 4.4.4 have 5 the 5.0.2 have 8, but it may be different in yours.
I did not check the last time i did the commands to see if i was on OFFICIAL, but it should work.
In the brazilian forum the guys say if you did the process to flash back the 4.4.4 after the device been 5.x.x, you will not be able to flash the file gpt.bin but you will be able to receive the OTA of 5.0.2 and install it after the install the OFFICIAL appears.
Here i'm able to flash all the files all the commands are accepted when flash the 5.0.2 stock but when i try 4.4.4 the gpt.bin doesn't accept, unfortunately i did not check to see the software status after the 5.0.2.
I will make a test if you not successful because i wanna to know if is possible, but flashing xml stock ROM erase internal memory and right now i have too many files on the device that need to backup and have no time.
If it work out to you post in here :good:
Thank you for your detailed post. I tried to flash the phone with these commands one by one, it was all successful until sparsechunk 5 and 6 and 7 . These images didn't flash and failed with preflash validation errors but for strange reasons it flashes fine with RSD Lite. I am assuming that the factory image i was trying to flash was " Retail Brazil " one but my phone is Puerto Rican, so i am downloading 5.0.2 of puerto rico firmware and try again. I will let you know about the outcome.
edit : i could execute all commands successfully with puerto rico 5.0.2 image but it still show as modified.

Ok. I will flash my device to stock today, i doing some tests in TWRP and have erase internal memory, my device is empty i can flash stock without worry about lose data...
My stock xml rom 5.0.2 from Brazili, flash all good with those commands, they all are accepted. The img_sparsechunk are related to the file with the same name they only give a error if the file is not there or have a different name, the stock 4.4.4 doesn't have img_sparsechunk 5 to 7.
Are you shore you have the 5.0.2 original untouched?
later today i put here my result...
i did it...
Is necessary to donwoad a ROM that will received a OTA this will:
Brasil Retail Stock Lollipop 5.0.2 /// QUARK_RETBR_5.0.2_LXG22.33-12.13_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
do the commands i posted before
this:
mfastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
is not need unless you are upgrading from 4.4.4 to 5.x.x via fastboot for the first time.
in a downgrade don't use too...
Then after the device boot it will received the ota (only 15mb if you use that ROM) you accept after the download and install go back to bootloader and it will be change to Official, doesn't need to official to be show to install a OTA, just a original xml ROM installed.
i did exactly the same commands but brazil 5.0.2 sparsechunk 5 6 7 gave preflash validaton errors. So, i was successfull to flash all images of puerto rico 5.0.2 . There is some region information embedded in our phones even if it is flashed to other regions, phone still knows its origin. i will do as you said and flash 4.4.4 of pr and take ota on top of it.
