Okay guys. Have a question here. I want to run PA on my XT1033. As far as I know, I'll have to convert to GPE. Now, is there another way? I've tried converting my XT1033 to a single sim by flashing the flashable XT1032 stock 4.4.4 CWM zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688 and then flashing the appropriate radios and my XT1033 behaved like a stock ROM XT1032. That's all dandy and fine, so after that I tried flashing PA, but got system UI fc's at startup.
I dont want to flash GPE bcs it deletes personal data.
so the question is...IS THERE ANOTHER WAY TO GET PARANOID working on my XT1033 by converting it to single XT1032? or am I doing something rom?
thank you so much
No other way to convert to single sim and use PA. You'll have to covert to GPE in order to use XT1032 ROMs.

Hello everyone I am using an XT1032 which is the Moto G that isn't the google play edition and I was wondering if it was safe to flash to the 4.4.4 custom ROM's such as AOSB?
I've read the guide on how to unbrick and currently I've being trying ROM's and then restoring my ClockWorkMod backup of stock, obviously this stock ROM is 4.4.2 so if I was to upgrade to a 4.4.4 ROM for the XT1032 could I go restore that stock ROM afterwards and get away without bricking? I know there is a fix but I would really like to avoid going through all of that...
Thank you in advance

You should be able to upgrade to 4.4.4 ROM and then restore to anything as long as your boot loader is unlocked.
yes, it is safe
unlock bootloader and convert to gpe 442, receive the ota, having no root and stock gpe 442 recovery just to be super sure
and done
but after having 444, you wont be able to have stock 442 , at least not in an easy way

Okay, I don't mean the official GPE ROM I mean what if I install lets say, Carbon 4.4.4, can I restore my stock backup after?
I installed the latest cm11 nightly (4.4.4) and I could restore my stock 4.4.2 backup with no problems.
The downgrade brick is caused by some partition table changes in the stock OTA I think. Custom roms don't change partition tables so it is fine.
I may be wrong about the cause though, feel free to correct me but I could restore without any problems.
Hi
I can't get my XT1033 4.4.4 converted to GPE 4.4.4 to boot. I have followed the guide to convert my XT1033 to XT1032 in order to be converted to GPE 4.4.4. However, flashing GPE 4.4.4 downloaded from MEGA causes the phone to get stuck on boot logo stage. Can someone please tell me why this is happening? I really want to try MIUI. Flashing MIUI over XT1032 causes constant forcecloses as soon as I call someone. So I have to convert it further to GPE to flash MIUI.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Just an update: I managed to boot it but using the 'mfastboot' command instead of 'fastboot' and flashed the filed individually. All's working now. Hope this helps others :victory:.
Hey guys,
I've been trying to run Lolipop on my dual sim phone and it just never work. Been working on it since morning, flash to stock, convert to gpe, flash 5.0 roms that supposely support convert gpe but it just doesn't work.
One thing i'm not sure is how the convert to gpe suppose to work? After I convert it, should i wipe the rom or flash 5.0 on top of it? If i didnt wipe, the 5.0 wont install. If i did wipe, wouldnt it just wipe my converted gpe rom? I'm so confused.
Anyone?
Updated: Ok. After many hours I finally able to make it work with slimkat. god bless these developers.
Hi,
My search skills are very bad so pardon me if this has been asked too many times.
I've read somewhere that downgrading is possible by manual method without flashing the gpt and motoboot file.
Once downgrade is done. is it possible to install a custom kitkat rom afterwards?
You should be fine. Flashing gpt.bin file is necessary when coming from a GPE to non-GPE ROM. GPE and non-GPE do not use the same file format for user data.

I have a moto g global version xt1032.
Thanks. I actually installed lost101's optimized 5.02 which i did not think was a gpe version. however, I downgraded to 4.4.4 using a script to 4.4.4 gpe. I am getting ota for 5.0.1. If I do want to update to it sometime, will it work?
If you are on stock 4.4.4 with stock recovery and unrooted, OTA should work.
Guys when i flashed cm13 on xt1033 gpe, calls & message were not working so i flash xt1033 stock via adb. After flashing stock when i rebooted the phone android dead sign was appearing on the screen. I somehow managed to flash gpe and worked. Is there any way for forcess.zip to work again on marshmallow?
