Hi all. I don't want to come off as a total noob, but I'm sorry if I do. I have a Motorola Razr V XT885 with Bell Mobility in Canada. I've searched the web for a way of rooting and unlocking the bootloader on my device and have found little to no help. I know this isn't a popular phone as it's only available in Canada and some parts of Asia, but is there a way to root and unlock the bootloader? From the sounds of things there isn't a Jellybean update coming any time soon and I would really like to flash a custom rom on this thing. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

This worked for me... I still do not know how to get a recovery or custom ROMs on mine, If you figure it out, send me a message.
Cheers

I figured out how to get custom recovery, you download Boot Menu Manager from the market it works perfect, I managed to boot up a XT910 ROM on it but lots of bugs as its not for our phone, just need a smart person to make us up a ROM
Worked for my XT885. Thanks
My device is a HK version of XT910 and has flashed the device for the euro 4.1 rom.
Unfortunately it cannot search any 2g/3g signal and thus i wanna flash back the HK4.0 rom to repair the phone.
I heard it is not possible to do so as the bootloader has been upgraded which cannot be downgraded afterwards.
I know XDAs are one of the best developers for smartphone, so wanna find some support here.
Deep thanks if guidance can be provided for my case

So I have a Boost Moto G(1031) that I unlocked the Bootloader on & put the stock Verizon Moto G(XT1028) firmware on so I can OTA on Page Plus & make Life easier later. I was wondering if any one has tried to put the Verizon CM on this device setup like this or any other Verizon Rom for that matter. If so did it work?, Brick it? Error Out? what was the result's & what Version of android were you on when you tried this? I would like to have the latest Cyanogenmod 11 for Moto G on my device but some places I see 1028 & others I see 1031 so just wondering the outcome before I try cause im sure someone has tried this already. Thanks for any info
Boost Moto G with Verizon rom
I have the Boost Moto G programmed for PagePlus also. I have installed several of the rom's, both cm and asop with no problems such as "brick" or looping as you are worried about. Each of the different rom's seem to have their own issues you probably have read about in the forums.
I'm no expert, but I think as long as you have adb and fastboot figured out and follow the guides you'll do alright.
Currently I'm using the Flashable ZIP Stock Motorola firmware in the development forum and it is working very well for me.
I'm using Android version 4.4.4
Good Luck!

Right on. Yea all custom roms seem to have their own issues whatever they may be. I'm as well on 4.4.4 stock I haven't rooted yet cause I wasn't sure if I would be able to use the Roms for a Verizon device & hadn't seen any info on it. Thanks for the info I'll get her rooted & start playing yay!!
Hi all, one of my first posts here. I bought a Moto G 2nd (Brazilian) Edition recently, but I want to wipe the OS and put on the latest GB iteration on it. Any idea where I can find the stock ROMS for the Moto G 2nd edition? And what's the latest (best) way to root the Moto G 2nd edition? Sorry if these are rather fundamental questions but I'm a bit out of the loop with all this stuff.
TIA
Ok, so I've managed to find the stock ROMs. But I'm a bit confused about a few things:
1. I know downgrading can be a big no no, but what about flashing a ROM that is the same version? All I really want to do is replace the BR (Brazilian version) with the GB (Great Britain) version of firmware, is this easily achieved?
2. What's the best way to flash the moto? I always see a myriad of ways of flashing, either with CMD scripts or sometimes ready-to-use apps...just wondering whether or not there is a "standard go-to" way of flashing the moto?
Thanks in advance!
