[Q] Which stock firmware should I install?

Hi all,
I have rooted my Moto G and I installed Cyanogenmod 11 on it.
Cyanogenmod hasn't made Snapshot builds since M6.
M6 is getting old. I could install the latest nightly, but last time I installed a nightly version I couldn't play Soundcloud and other music related apps.
So I want to go back to Stock 4.4.4
I've got 2 questions:
1) Where can I download the stock firmware? I have already searched at http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14 , but I can't find the latest 4.4.4 update. (at least not for my region, which is The Netherlands)
2) There are plenty of firmwares. Before I installed Cyanogenmod, Stock 4.4.2 176.44.1.falcon_umts.EURetail.en.EU (no specific carrier) was preinstalled on the device. Now I would like to install Android 4.4.2 KOT49H.M004 (no specific carrier) which is smaller than the preinstalled one. But is it safe to do that?
Thanks in advance!

Did you ever update your phone to 4.4.4 on stock via OTA?

What's your bootloader version? If it's 41.13 you can install the GPE 4.4.4 firmware, pure android from google, or the European version again, if you want the Motorola features (MotoCamera, MotoGallery, Radio FM, MotoAssist, SMS Messaging (AOSP), Keyboard (AOSP), MotoCare, MotoMigrate). I like the GPE, I miss just a little the HDR mode of the MotoCamera. GPE also consumes less ram.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I found out that I have bootloader version 41.13. I would like to convert my moto g to Google Play Edition. Is it safe to install KOT49H (4.4.2, which has a lower bootloader version)? I can't find the file for GPE 4.4.4.

Yes, I updated from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 via OTA on stock ROM. I had installed a custom recovery at that moment. I was afraid it would go wrong, but the recovery successfully installed 4.4.4.

danielsinnema said:
Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
How do I get to know the bootloader version? By the way, I didn't know I mentioned the google play edition firmware. And where can I find the firmware of 4.4.4? On that website I can only find 4.4.2.
Again, thanks!

If you updated to 4.4.4 via OTA you running the v41.13, it's shown in the fastboot main page (the one you get when you press vol down + power button). There you go:
GPE 4.4.4
If you have XT1032 will work for sure, I never tested it on other models.:good:

I'm now downloading 4.4.4 GPE for Moto G.
I think I will need help again when it's time to install.
Is it the same procedure?

Thank you very much for your help! I couldn't have done / I wouldn't dare it without you.
Those batch files are very useful. I used to flash it manual..

You're welcome I hope you like your GPE Moto G as I like it. It's a very light firmware, on my device the battery consumption in airplane mode is only 3℅ per night and the average ram usage is like 450-500 MB. Also I never got lag during the usage... And you get updates 1 month before the others. Enjoy it

This thread answers the questions I've been wondering about for the longest while but one problem, my bootloader is 41.11 (XT 1032 US Global version on 4.4.3) and my worries is if I update to 4.4.4 GPE and want to switch back to stock 4.4.3, I would not be able to. Currently running 4.4.2 GPE on the 41.11 (stock 4.4.3) bootloader. Everything works well, just can't change bootloader, obviously.

The only sure thing I can see is updating without flashing the bootloader. I've set up 4.4.2 GPE how I want it, so I'll keep it for for now.

I flashed 4.4.4 GPE then 4.4.4 brazil, then 4.4.3 brazil, then 4.4.2 brazil, then 4.4.2 GPE... in this precise order. You can flash whatever you want The only thing you can't downgrade is the bootloader.

The firmwares for 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 GPE does not have in the emmc but the OTA does. As I said above, someone is looking to buy the phone, so I would leave it as is. Plan to get to get the dual sim version.

Do you also know how to go back to Motorola's Stock Firmware?
I would like to go back because for me the battery life is worse at GPE.

Well, I tried to do that, but it failed.
So I flashed GPE 4.4.4 again.
Isn't it possible to install stock 4.4.2 and update via OTA update?
I can't find Motorola's stock ROM for my region, which is the Netherlands.

No I don't believe you can ota because if a different boot loader version...you can flash the European union firmware...

Yes, they are official Motorola firmware images.

[Q] What about GPe converting and OTA ?

I actually have a Moto G XT1032 from retail and I would like to know if I convert it to GPe, i will have OTA update for Android L, and will it work ?

Yes.

I don't get it. if we can simply install a GPE rom on our xt1032 and OTA update it to android l with needing to revert back to stock rom and unroot our devices, why is everyone talking about reverting back to original form and not just putting GPE and that's it.
can someone please explain?

Hi, can I flash 4.4.4 radio on a 4.4.2 Moto G? Thanks

WiFi and 3G not working on XT1088
I have a Moto G 2014 xt1088,
unfortunatelly I think I ran the command "fastboot erase all" and now I can't use WiFi and get 3G signal. I think if I replace the radio/modem via fastboot could solve it.
Can someone tell me if is possible, and what if I flash the xt1033 radio, it will boot?
Or someone could upload the xt1088 or xt1084 version.
Sorry my english.
Thanks.

Unfortuantely if you really have used the fastboot command 'erase all' - you have lost your IMEI and there is currently no way to restore it. You have to return the phone to Motorola.
Anyone else reading this: NEVER, EVER use: Fastboot Erase all

Moto G IMEI = 0

Other questions :S
Thanks for the support man,
just confirming, the WiFi depends of the IMEI too, right? even the WiFi I can`t restore?
And one last thing: only Motorola can repair it (or just replace the device), or may a regular repair phone store could do something? what if they replace physicaly the phone memory?
Sorry so many question, it`s my last. :angel:
Thanks again.

I flashed Donkey Kang Kernel - V3.5 and did not work, I was caught in the first logo.
Flashed the original 5.0 version of the kernel and all returned to work perfectly but I am without Wifi, installed the modules version 4.4.4 kernel but without success.
Please someone that is running version 5.0 from Brazil can post your kernel modules?

Try these modules from GPE 5.0.1: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717069088

It did not work friend, I am preparing a backup to an installation from scratch since last night trying to fix the Wifi problem just flashing the wrong (I think) radio and that was with only one sim card.

so if i flash 1031_Boost_US_CDMA_Kernel_3.4.42-gb89c9dd.zip on my boost moto g with cm12 rom it will get my phone signal working?

Possibly. It depends on the reason why you have no signal.

Does flashing 5.0.2 kernel and radio ensures update of 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 dual Sim xt1033?

They aren't absolutely necessary to run Android 5.0.2. For example you can use this ROM with your current 4.4.4 Radio:

I have a gpe converted xt1033. Now I have restored stock 4.4.4 but I'm not getting any network. Should I flash the radio of dual sim version or single sim version since my phone was converted to gpe. Also rather restoring 4.4.4 Asia retail I should directly install stock 4.4.4 gpe and the radio of gpe.

one question
so i did follow the tutorial for root the moto maxx and all went very well, now im rooted and installed xposed and gravitybox working like a charm, but there was something that gave me a little doubt , when i boot to the recovery i did not see anything like TWRP if not rather like the stock that brings the moto maxx but nevertheless i did apply update from sd card and select the daroot.zip and it worked but I thought i was going to see something with TWRP interface . I did something wrong ? or what could it happen.

yes... probably you got the wrong recovery
The root guide contains my first attempt to get root. That one is the stock recovery without zip signature checks.
In this thread you can get TWRP
just remember I do not recommend flashing this as well, just boot like the other (fastboot boot filename.img) and read the thread thoroughly

1) The Moto Maxx is just a bootloader unlockable version of the Droid Turbo, you could use the same recovery on the Droid Turbo if its bootloader ever gets unlocked...
2) XDA never gave us a different forum even after requests, looking how dead things are in the Droid turbo forums... I doubt XDA will open a new forum... Probably just a subforum... Till then I guess there is nothing else we can do... Sorry!
