Why this phone does not have custom recovery?
Simple... because lots of developers don't buy this giant and foreign phone (in europe and usa this phone is not sold ), but they buy and make rom first of all for international and top smartphone sure there are lots of rom for g pro 2 in the web: )

I recently bought a Moto G only to discover that my version (XT1033, the Dual SIM/16GB Brazillian version) doesn't have many (if any) custom ROMs avaiable (mostly because of dual SIM, I guess?).
Now, by lurking a bit I got mixed opinions.
Is it possible to successfully (with no serious bugs/issues) flash a custom ROM (say, Cyanogen 11) from a different version?
The idea I got is that Dual SIM won't work (since most custom ROMs are made for single chips). I don't really care about dual chip capability (I use only one), but I fear that I will brick/screw up my brand new phone.
I have a mild know-how on flashing/rooting and whatnot, my only problem is that Single/Dual SIM cards issue.
Thanks in advance.
So I am planning to get a Moto G for my wife and I am wondering which edition to get. As I understand both the stock and Google Play editions are the same price. But will there be any benefits of one over the other if I plan to install a custom ROM on it anyway? Also you can flash Google Stock images on the normal Moto G? Is that correct? And also when you buy the phone from the Motorola website you choose which version to get the Global GSM or US GSM. which version will you get if you buy it from Google?

The Google Play Moto G is XT1032 (the global gsm model). As I understand, you can easily convert the normal one from motorola (either global or US gsm) to a play edition rom if you want to. See the Mototool thread in the original development section of this forum for details on how to do so. As for custom roms, both versions (xt1034, xt1032, and xt1032 GPE) are fully supported by all roms as far as I can tell (please, I would be happy if someone would correct me if I'm wrong about that). I'm personally happy with my 16GB US version running stock kit kat with xposed framework and a number of modules.

hi , i have a chinese phone (ULEFONE-U692___alps _mtk6592_2GB.ram_8GB.ROM_6.5"screen).does any one know if this device is a clone or hardware-simmilar to a well known brand. i'm asking this because it is impossible to find update roms upper than 4.2, like 4.4 or even 5.0 compatible for this model.
even if the phone is rooted and has a working recovery i can only find roms for as i told popular devices . of cource i could use one like samsung s3 or s5 (which i think is the most simmilar configuration) and if something goes wrong , roll back to my stock rom
but i need someone's oppinion (if there's any)
thank you

Get the Taiwanese model, it's first to get updates. Other models don't seem to catch up quickly( I have yet to receive the latest software update and i am on the Hong Kong model). You need to know that you can't flash other stock roms from other regions and if you root you lose warranty. If you care for software updates then this phone isn't for you. The U11+ is great from a hardware perspective but in terms of frequent software updates it scores a "D-".
Unlocking the bootloader and rooting is easy for this device but it's difficult to find stock roms especially old versions, also there is no custom rom development for this device and i doubt there will ever be.
One final note: Check the display for light bleeding since it's a second hand unit!
In short, don't buy it.
It's a great phone if you plan to stay stock, but not for rooting and ROMs. There's no S-off, and the developer community is pretty much just one guy/gal.

That means less updates and less delopment in roms
But can I at-least root this device (all models)? and stay with stock
also tell me does xposed work in this phone( i searched but did not find xposed in development, not a single result )
You're better off with a different model if you want to have root and run ROMs.
You can root the phone, but it prevents update installation.
I have a Moto G8 Plus from the UK on the New Zealand "Skinny" network. Data is dropping out fairly regularly, and it's been suggested it's because it's the UK model and doesn't have the NZ ROM. It looks like the NZ ROM version is PAGE0006AU, which can be downloaded here.
Is it possible to flash the NZ ROM to the UK phone? If so are there any instructions anywhere? I've flashed ROMs to a few different phones in the past so no problem doing it, but instructions to make sure I don't brick it would be really useful.
