Help me find a way

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

Any Help?

[HOW TO] Update Moto G XT1034 (GPE) to Android 5.0.1 and Unbrick 5.0.1 failed OTA

Le'ts start from the basics and what will you find in this guide:
1.- Convert Moto G XT1034 to Google Play Edition 5.0.1
2.- Apply Lollipop 5.0.1 OTA Update (Moto G XT1034 GPE Converted ONLY)
3.- Update Moto G XT1034 GPEc 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 without softbricks or Data Loss
4.- Unbrick and Update Moto G XT1034 (GPEc) From 4.4.4 to 5.0.1
Requirements:
Moto G XT1034
ADB and Fastboot on your PC and basic knowledge on how to use it.
Unlocked Bootloader
Note: GPEc means Moto G XT1034 Google Play Edition converted
1.- How To Convert Moto G XT1034:
This is pretty simple and you should go here and use MotoTool, it will convert your Phone from XT1034 to Google Play Edition 4.4.2
2.- After following the Step 1 and converting your Moto G XT1034 to GPE follow these steps to ensure a propper update to Lollipop:
a. Boot Moto G into GPEc 4.4.2 and complete setup
b. You will not have signal but that's ok, go straight to settings-About phone-System Update and update to 4.4.4 through OTA (well first connect to a WiFi Network)
c. Let the Update finish and boot into 4.4.4 (still no signal on your phone nor your SIM card is recognized, that's PERFECT)
d. Do the Same as step b, Settings- About Phone- System Update and update to 5.0.1 through OTA
e. Let the Lollipop update finish (it does take like 20 min). Boot and you will not have signal nor your SIM Card Recognized. To gain signal and Data connection boot to bootloader and follow these commands:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot reboot
Use THIS FSG File:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzpaNmL9CSChZHRnc0RWaUFPUFk/view?usp=sharing
Note: if you don't find the OTA Update from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 download in the System Update section download OTA Zip File from here and follow this guide to flash it, then proceed to step e.
3. So, the reason why when you update from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 through OTA with a Moto G XT1034 GPEc (for those who had their phone converted and with signal) is that during the update recovery returns a Status 7 error from being a wrong device (XT1034 not XT1032) as a result from flashing either the modem or FSG File to obtain signal previous to 5.0.1 Update.
If you are in 4.4.4 with signal and want to update to 5.0.1 without losing your data or getting a softbrick follow these steps:
a. Flash stock GPE FSB File, reboot to bootloader and follow the commands.
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot reboot
Use THIS FSG File:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzpaNmL9CSChRTA3NjN0QlRQWTQ/view?usp=sharing
b. Boot your phone (you will not have signal or data or SIM recognized, EXCELLENT). Go to System- About Phone- System Update and apply the 5.0.1 OTA
c. Wait for the 5.0.1 update to finish and phone to boot, reboot to bootloader and do these commands:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot reboot
Use THIS FSG File:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzpaNmL9CSChZHRnc0RWaUFPUFk/view?usp=sharing
4.- If you are in this number is because you went blazing guns for the 5.0.1 OTA got stuck on a bootloop and soft brick, evertybody told you were lost, hopeless and screwed....not quite there. Follow the steps
a.- Flash stock GPE FSB File, reboot to bootloader and follow the commands.
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot reboot
Use THIS FSG File:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzpaNmL9CSChRTA3NjN0QlRQWTQ/view?usp=sharing
b. Download OTA Zip File from here and follow this guide to flash it
c. Let the 5.0.1 update finish, you will not have signal, data nor your SIM Card recongnized, boot to Bootloader and follow these commands:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot reboot
Use THIS FSG File:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzpaNmL9CSChZHRnc0RWaUFPUFk/view?usp=sharing
That should fix your problem, I recommend holding a little bit on future OTA's or just flash Stock GPE FSG before OTA and then the XT1034 FSG. For some of you the Stock XT1034 FSG that I linked may not work (depends on your carrier) if that is the case just download a stock ROM for your carrier, unzip it and copy the FSG
Remember to hit thanks

Not for 1st Gen LTE?
I'm assuming this won't work for the Moto G LTE 1st Gen versions.

It should work, just replace the XT1034 FSG for the 4G FSG if you don't have signal after converting to Google Play Edition

This does not work on XT1045. I've been trying it all morning. The problem is converting it to GPE. When flashing the XT1032 GPE files I get "hab check failed for boot" and "hab check failed for recovery" error messages.

I'm guessing you wouldn't know how to fix this, but its worth a shot.
I flashed my device to GPE (xt1032) and updated to 5.0 manually... I did in fact get a softbrick at that time, but downgraded to just get my device back to normal without knowing the risks.
After I downgraded I updated to 4.4.4 then poof, device basically hardbricked.(Won't turn on, Cannot enter bootloader)
I have researched this but haven't found too many people that bricked the way I did (Flashing GPE, Others seem to have used Brazilian Lolipop)

That's weird, the XT1032 it's the same model version as the GPE Edition, Have you tried using MotoTool? When you say hardbricked.....not even turning on?

Nope, Wont turn on at all. No longer how long I hold the power button, etc. Tried too many ways. (Also just double checked, it is in fact the XT1032, it was running motorola's software. )

Hey all, I have lollipop running on my XT1034 , and everything is going swimmingly. The only problem I have is that my cell phone signal drops out every now and then. It comes back very quickly, but I just wish it would stay more stable. Anyone else have this?

Yes. Using the stock XT1045 recovery and boot .IMG gets me to the GPE boot screen, but then it locks or loops. Trying to flash the GPE zip through CWM just fails to get anywhere. I figured these would all fail, I just wanted to see what would happen.

Wow, first time I heard about something so...drastic, maybe your battery died?

I believe there's a 5.0.2 build for Nexus devices, maybe that fixes it? Try flashing another FSG from your carrier

Unlocking Bootloader can sometimes resolve the 'Preflash validation' error. Corrupt emmc is the likely cause of your problems and probably unsolvable at this time. You can however - unlock bootloader - boot into TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img) and try flashing a custom ROM zip.

How to add attachments??

resurrecting your device depends on how badly you've bricked it.
how did you brick it in the first place?

just ignore the bootloader and gpt image, its due to the Downgrade you can follow this instructions
