[Q] Bricked Moto G From Boost Mobile [HELP] - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a Moto G from Boost Mobile then i downloaded Blur_Version.175.44.1.falcon_cdma.Boost.en.US to downgrade my Moto G to Kitkat 4.4.2. During the flashing process i got an error message about INVALID SYSTEM IMAGE and then flash finished. Now the Moto G hangs at boot STARTING SERVICES. Then just shuts down on it's own and starts back up. It goes into a reboot loop. Can any of you show me where i can download the correct rom to flash so i can get my phone back up and working again? Any help here on getting the correct image for this phone would be greatly appreciated. Please Help!

Downgrading is not recommended. Did you flash the gpt.bin when you tried to downgrade?

no i left out gpt.bin

Motorola only provides recovery images for the moto x Dev edition. I don't believe a 4.4.4 stock factory image has been released yet. If you have a gsm model there is a EU 4.4.4 flashable zip available.

To recover a boost mobile to 4.4.4 you'll have to look around, I found it a while ago but don't remember where.

I got it figured out y'all. I found the KitKat 4.4.4 for the Moto G on Boost Mobile. I also found a way to flash my Moto G without unlocking the bootloader.

You don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash Motorola signed firmware

Cool man thanks for the information

Go into bootloader mode, and click the green link in my signature to see the guide
for downgrading to 4.4.4, and may I ask why you decided to downgrade, the article warned you about that

A line distorts the screen of my Moto G

Hi all, is it updated my Moto G Android Lollipop following the tutorial to pass the Moto G to Google Play Edition, and then wanted to go back to the original version 4.4.4 of my phone so doing I notice that after the message bootloader a line that distorts the image starting from the top to the bottom, the only way to solution I've found is blocking the phone and unlocking it, but still the problem persists appears.
Thank you very much for your attention and I hope to help.
maybe a bootloader problem...
I have the same exact error except i have the xt1032 non gpe variant. did the same thing as u did, flashed gpe 5.0.1 update and the problem first occurred when flashing twrp in 5.0.1, i tried a couple of versions of twrp but the problem kept happening, what makes me believe its a boot loader problem is that the version of the bootloader changed from 41.13 to 41.18 after the update. maybe they updated the bootloader with the 5.0.1 package, if we could flash the stock bootloader maybe that will help

if you flash from 5.0 Brazil to 4.4.4 GPE you will get that annoying line, to get rid of it just update to 5.0.1 from the phone and all will fixed.

[Q] Help needed downgrading XT1032 GPE 5.0.1 converted

Hey. I have searched a lot of find to find answers for this but have been unsuccessful so far. I am hoping somebody here might be able to help me.
I have an xt1032 which i have converted and upgraded to 5.0.1.
I want to downgrade it back to the UK Kitkat 4.4.4. I downloaded the firmware and flashed the partitions expect in gpt.bin and motoboot in order but the phone keeps stuck at the boot logo.
Cyanogenmod doesnt install either. I have tried several recoveries but no use.
Can somebody help me downgrade back to the original XT1032 UK firmware? :crying:
Help in on this thread.

Yo!
Check out this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/how-to-koodo-telus-downgrade-upgrade-lp-t3042110
and follow the instructions word for word.
You will however need to flash the firmware of the UK XT1032 which can be downloaded from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Al the commands work just make sure you use mfastboot, like the tutorial thread says. There's more help there if you need it, I did this 3 nights ago and it went swimmingly with this guide so you should have no problems. Hope this helps
Thanks for the reply. I'm just scared of flashing motoboot and gpt bricking my phone. But if it worked for you, i hope it does for me too. Thanks again.
Also, does this method solve the screen ripple effect after the downgrade to KitKat?

When running Kitkat the ripple is still there but if you turn the screen off and on again it'll go away. If you then OTA to 5.0.2 there's no rippling whatsoever .
P.S. for the flashing of motoboot it is paramount that you use fastboot. I'd have a gander at the comments in the first thread I linked you the details are there.

[Completed] WiFi Errors

I tried rooting my phone, but after I unlocked the bootloader the WiFi couldn't be turned on. I tried on the quick settings and then on the settings and I couldn't enable WiFi. The phone is a Moto G 2nd Gen, running stock Lollipop 5.0.1.
Have had this happen to me in the past and re-flashing the latest modem did the trick for me. Try flashing the latest stock modem (if ur still on the stock rom) and see if that helps.

I'm kinda new to flashing and I don't know what's the modem for my phone. Can you link me please? And thanks for your help.
Also, does it need root? I don't have it and hence I've unlocked the bootloader I'm planning on it.

[Completed] Unbrick Moto G 1st gen

Hi guys, I'm kinda lost by now.
I tried to root my Moto G 1st Gen today, but whenever it was supposed to reboot again after to rooting process, I got the "dead" android with the no command warning. So I tried to some alternatives with the only result that my phone is now stuck in a bootloop. Luckily I can still access the bootloader menu, but when I try flash back to the firmware, I get the hab "check failed for boot" and recovery message, with the result that it doesn't work and I'm still in the same situation. I guess I have the wrong firmware but I can't seem to find the correct 1st gen xt1034 firmware for a german phone.
So yeah, if you could help me, that would be reaaaaally great, and if you need some additional information, I'll try my best to find it out.
Cheers
Hi,
you are sure you have an xt1034 german phone? From what I read, the xt1034 is special to America, so you should find your answer here. Good luck on reviving your phone!
