Did I lose Motorola Boot Services after I unlocked my Moto G? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The title says it all.
Because I Couldn't find the Boot services in play store after i unlocked my bootloader and flashed a recovery.

I can find it (and update it) through play store. But it isn't changing the boot logo and boot animation anymore after I unlocked the bootloader...

This is not related I believe.
I have my G unlocked since day one, which is about 11 months now. I've boot services updated several times, but at some point I think I've stopped seeing it in the play store, then it became available again.

Hmm...I haven't seen the boot services since quite some time now, and I hear Moto changed the bootanim once again, so I was interested in knowing why that happens.
Thanks!

boot update gone
I just accidently uninstalled the updates of Motorola boot services and nw I'm not getting any updates of boot anime's
Still I have "Motorola a google company" even after updating to lolipop

Motorola boot services update

I just saw a boot service update for our moto g, is is safe to update after removing the warning message after unlocking boot loader?

Yes, it only updates the boot animation, boot logo is not affected.
Nuthin' but a 'Moto G' thang
Yes it should be safe.
All it seems to do is add a christmas bootup animation, that will start to appear from December 9th,

Dunno if it changes anything else but that's what seems to be the main feature
Can someone please pull the apk for me? I need the actual .apk file and all I keep finding are links to the play store.

You can update the boot services, it has nothing to do with bootloader. Its just changing the bootanimation.

I rooted my moto g today and was updating all my apps. all my apps update without any problems, except motorola mobility(used in moto assist) and motorola boot service, though moto assist and other moto apps like camera and gallery updated without any problem.
is it problem related to unlocking bootloader or rooting the device?
i unlocked bootloader today and also rooted right after it. i am using moto g xt1033.

[Q] Moto G Play Edition, Bootloader unlocked or locked

I know that you can go to Motorola's site to unlock the bootloader on the Motorola version of Moto G. Does the Google Edition of the G automatically come with an unlocked bootloader? Several sources have different specs. Engaget reports that the Google version comes with an unlocked bootloader, a few other sources say no. Can anyone clear this up for me, I just ordered my Google Play edition because my area has the new 1900mhz coverage.
Update: Here is Engaget's quote" Lastly, the Google Play edition will come with an unlocked bootloader straight out of the box, in case you prefer to play around with different ROMs. (You can technically unlock the bootloader on the original G, but you have to go through the proper steps to do it.) I will get mine today, and report back with the results.
I would think it is locked?
My nexus 4 from the play store had a locked bootloader.

I don't see any reason to doubt what Engadget says. I assume that they have checked it as they placed a handson video: http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/16/moto-g-google-play-edition-hands-on/
GPE devices don't come with a unlocked bootloader. But all it takes is one simple command line to unlock it.

You're thinking of Nexus devices. GPe's still need to go through their respective manufacturer to unlock the bootloader. Like the HTC One GPe. You could unlock the bootloader, but you still needed to go through HTC's Dev site to do it.
No you don't. The regular HTC One needs to go through HTC Dev (like you do with the G) but the GPe One works with just 'fastboot oem unlock', no token or anything.
Does the Moto G Play Store Edition show the same warning if the Bootloader is unlocked when powering on?
It's probably have a open padlock on bootup like the others
is there any real difference on these two devices aside from how the bootloader is unlocked?

Hello,
The bootloader on the Moto G play store edition is unlockable simply with the $ fastboot oem unlock command. You do not need an unlock code from the motorola web site to unlock it. You do need to read and agree on to the disclaimer on device.
After unlock, the experience is akin to the nexus experience, and the power-on screen will just show the "Unlocked" icon (open keylock)
Thanks

so the method for flashing roms and everything is identical afterwards? no messing about flashing kernel via pc like with htc devices?
So if the GPE version can be unlocked without any token it would be fine if we could use the GPE Bootloader on the normal Moto G and make a backup of the existing one. Would this help us to make a workaround for the warranty problem? Is this possible?
Should be, yes. As long as a complete image comes out for the GPe.
They've done it on the HTC One.

But that was a HTC decision not a Google one in guess, however, hope this theory will become practicable.
It is itching in my fingertips to unlock since i have this device ( exactly 1 week). Now i'll wait definitely longer.
Curious to know what comes up.
What I mean is that users of the HTC One users have the option to use the GPe bootloader, thanks to S-OFF.
With the G you can flash other firmwares without unlocking as long as they're signed, so it should install no trouble (as long as an image is found).

Update: I just got my Moto G Play Edition, first..I love it. upgrading from a Galaxy S II, much better display, works great. The bootloader is locked.
Here is an update from Engaget: Update: it turns out that the Google Play edition's bootloader is just like the standard version -- it's unlockable, but not unlocked directly out of the box.
I will wait a few months to see if other Roms come out for the "G" before I unlock the bootloader and root the phone.

Anyone sucessfuly unlock a Moto G (Falcon) bootloader in the last few days?

Seems like there are a few cases, myself included, of unlock codes supplied by Motorola not being able to unlock the device on the Motorola forums. My phone is eligible for an unlock code and I am able to get one from Motorola but when I enter in "fastboot oem unlock #######" it comes up as invalid password. I've tried copy it from the email into notepad and entering it manually but it doesn't work. Not sure if this is relevant but I have already done a carrier unlock on the phone which was originally on Telus. Just wondering if anyone has had success lately?
Indian moto g bootloader.!
i unlocked my XT1033 just few days ago....
the process in the cmd (while unlocking) showed "FAILED"..
but still my phone was continuously showing a blue coloured "unlock...."written on the screen so i press the power button and the device suddenly displayed bootloater unlocked warning and i also got superuser access afterwards......
but now i am able to run "root only" apps....
HOWEVER gamecih doesn't work..it just displays "the system deny to root!!"..

DON"T know what really HAPPENED!??
I unlocked the bootloader of my Moto G XT1033 just a few days back. The code worked perfectly.
Keep trying the code manually; never cut and paste.
I tried again a few time this morning on a different computer, still no luck. It is very frustrating.
Could someone who has successfully unlocked their TX1032 on 4.4.4 please post their "fastboot getvar all" output?

I can't even get an unlock code. Hitting submit gives me a HTTP 500 Internal error on IE, and just blank screens on Firefox and Chrome.

Look for a post asking you to join the MFN (feedback network). There is a solution being seeded there.

Hi! Too can not unlock the bootloader on your Moto G XT1033. When you unlock the inscription went incorrect password. Many say the problem with the server Motorola. Surely in such a serious company can not solve this problem? Maybe someone knows when they will earn the server?
A quote from one of the moderators on the Motorola forums:
"For a fix for the Password incorrect issue encountered on 4.4.4 Moto G, please join the Motorola Feedback Network. (Last post of this thread) and let Matt know to add you to the seeding for the updated bootloader. This is unfortunately not a server side issue, but a bug in the bootloader on G 4.4.4. (not present in 4.4.2 or previous release)."
You will have to register your device there and opt in for the Motorola Feedback Network. You must also register your device by entering your IMEI. I think with all of the recent price drops on the Moto G they are really backed up. I am currently still waiting for my new unlock code.
The problem will be resolved because the mod there helped me to unlock mine but I can't disclose more. Just be patient

I believe that the fix is only in the testing phase and rather then release it into the wild and potentially have a ton of bricked phones come back they choose to release to a few people who agreed to the risks. That being said I now have an unlocked bootloader and am running the stripped down version on the stock 4.4.4 rom with Faux kernel and it is so much better. Check on post in the General section for more info.
New recovery for android 4.4.4 which solves black screen issue
This is just to inform all those who got their phones with 4.4.4 pre-installed and were suffering from black screen when booted into recovery.
A new version of Philz recovery is released by its maintainer for moto G , which is compatible with the newest bootloader or baseband ( whatever )
Just go to Phil'z recovery and download the latest version ( only 6.57.5 or above )

Nexus 5 not updating all Google apps

I flashed my N5 back to latest stock and relocked bootloader. My problem is that the playstore does not show updates for all of the google apps, like keyboard or photos. Some do get updated though. I can still update them manually by searching them, but why does playstore not recognize them in the first place?
You can manually update the apps.
I prefer to leave my bootloader unlocked as relocking and unlocking wipes the phone.

Google Play Uncertified

After coming back to stock MIUI ROM my google play is displaying uncertified. I know it is because of the unlocked bootloader or at least that's what I think it is. Now is there any way for me to make my phone google play certified again?
This warning gets triggered and thrown when an unlocked bootloader, a rooted device, a flashed custom ROM, flashed custom packages such as Magisk, Xposed, and of course, installed Gapps on uncertified devices get detected by Google Play Services. Even as small as "enabling OEM unlock" on phone can trigger Google Play Services to throw an uncertified device error on Play Store.
What I'ld try do to fix it:
Disable OEM Unlock option from Developer Options if you have already enabled it.
If you have unlocked bootloader on your phone, then re-lock it.
Flash certified Gapps.

Yes, I'm right now on a custom ROM and it is certified. Now I want to go back to stock ROM and have it certified without locking bootloader (bypass it). Is there any way to bypass it and make google think and display it as a certified?

If you're flashing stock firmware, I think it'll mostly be certified. No need to re lock bootloader (that's what I think. Point me if iam wrong !!!)

I did flash Stock Firmware, ROM and it's displayed as uncertified MIUI Global Rom (Latest version) and the play store doesn't want to update itself at all. I can download google apps through play store but the play store just won't budge.
Had to flash stock MIUI and lock the bootloader. Now everything works fine as it did before.
