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.

Revert back to GPE

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.

Cant. Tried flashing again dual sim br and then the ota but i get ' Installation aborted ' everytime.....
It sounds like your Bootloader has been updated so you can no longer boot the KitKat kernel. Can you please state what version your Bootloader is now?
For example mine is: 41.13
This weekend I will try to build a Stock ROM based on Retail DS BR Lolliopop. That should get your phone back, as long as you have a custom Recovery installed.
Perhaps you could try to flash the full latest 4.4.4 Brazil rom; the OTA update to Lollipop might work on this one. Just not sure if it is safe to revert to an older bootloader on Moto G, never tried this myself.
If this doesn´t work or you don´t want to try, you will need someone to upload a full 5.0 ROM and look for a backup phone until then
My bootloader ver. is 41.18
i've tried reflashing br dual sim version and then the 5.0 ota. But it doesnt work.

you may have downloaded wrong firmware.
And you need to use mfastboot.exe.
try http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/firmware-firmware-lollipop-retail-t3017383
where did you bought that phone??? asia retail version??? what is your phone model? xt1033?? xt1032?? gpe version.
Download right version firmware & try flashing again

How to update a rooted Moto G (XT1032) 4.4.4 to 5.0?

Hi,
the title says it all:
How can I apply the 5.0 OTA update on a rooted, unlocked Moto G XT1032 with CWM recovery?
I don't care about root anymore and I have used SuperSU to unroot the phone.
But in order to apply the update I need to install the stock recovery, otherwise the device will get stuck in a bootloop.
How do I do this? I have tried using MotoToolAIO and its "Flash Stock Recovery KitKat" button but get a
Code:
hab check failed for recovery
message every time I try.
Could you guys please tell me how to get the stock recovery installed on this phone? As I said I don't care about losing root and I don't mind relocking the phone if necessary. I would really appreciate any pointers you can give me. Possibly without losing my data & apps. Thank you.
This page apparently is supposed to contain all those stock files but it is broken: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
This manual seems to be helpful for similar cases, it did not help me, though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Download the stock 4.4.4 ROM for your phone, extract the recovery.img file, and flash it using fastboot commands.
You also need to be unrooted with the stock Motorola apps.

If you think that solves the proble, well...yes. But where do I find that file? As I indicated the only possible source seems to be unavailable currently. I can't find any other.
Does anyone here have an XT1032 DE singleSIM recovery image lying around?
As I am currently living in South Africa and internet is not reall stable it would be amazing if someone could offer just the recovery file instead of the whole 500-600MB dump.
I have a Canadian xt1032 running stock Telus 4.4.4 firmware. Not sure if that recovery would work but I could find it if you want to try it.
Don't forget to unroot too.
I unrooted too using SuperSU and managed to restore the stock recovery using MotoTool (find it on XDA). These are the basic requirements for installing an OTA. But after the OTA is downloaded and I try to install it, the process starts and in about 10 seconds it displays "Error" and boots to 4.4.4 again. Any recommendations?
^^did you remove any of the stock Motorola apps?
No, and Motorola Update Services is updated to the last version.

I doubt it - and fear what might happen if it goes wrong, to be honest. But thanks a lot for the offer. I was able to locate a Retail package for the DE version and will try to download the whole beast, hoping that the connection is stable for these 3 hours.
Even though nobody answered me, I found out what's going on. Lollipop OTAs cannot be installed on modified devices.
You could try out some custom ROM if you are unable to get the official 4.4.4. Carbon and CM11 are some customs ROMs I know of.
There are great unofficial ROMs on the moto g xda forum too!! Don't forget to have a look.

I'm thinking of Resurrection Remix 5.0.2
You could also check out mokee, crdroid, xperience. And don't forget to check out the ROMs in the forum list

One question man. I have 4.4.4 installed. Do I have to install stock 5.X in order to get lollipop bootloader before installing any ROM?

how did you manage to un-modify your device? I just bought the Moto G (2013) and have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP and haven't had any luck installing ANY firmware after 4.4.4.... I'm always getting stuck on the bootlogo and have to return back to stock 4.4.4...

You need to have factory firmware and recovery installed in order to update via OTA.

[Q] is it safe ?

I have converted my moto g to gpe. I've literally love the speed of 5.1 and can't go back.. Since all ROMs for 5.1 are buggy(at least for me) I've decided to try official ota gpe. I know I should revert back to stock kitkat gpe which is easy but I'm afraid the ota update for lollipop might brick my device since it's not gpe and that it already has lollipop bootloader from dual sim moto g. Is it possible to do this without running into fatal issues ?
It's not worth the risk. Moto G is getting old now, if you brick; there might not be a firmware image to get you out of it. I will create a flashable zip when a TWRP backup is available.

alright then, i will wait for a stable lollipop 5.1 build. Thanks !
YOu can flash the 4.4.4 firmware and OTA it to 5.0.1
but if u flash 4.42 firmware,ur phone will be hard bricked
So whats u have to do is
flash 4.4.4---->flash 5.0.1---->flash 5.1
voila
