yes!

I converted to GPe (My moto G was normal) months ago WITH THIS TOOL. All great.
Then flash Aero Kernel. Now I want to go back to the GPe converted stock kernel. So I can received the update when It comes to out.
Where can I get this GPe converted kernel? How can I flash it?

try flashing it via fastboot. You will find the recovery MotoToll All in one/Data/KitKat
you only need to enter fastboot and type on a cmd fastboot flash recovery file.img

Hi su,
i also tried to Convert my XT1039 to GPE, with the same error, but apparently it worked anyway, since after that the regular start screen showed and the LED flashed white on starting the device.
But i was still stuck in the same bootloop as you.
I then flashed a complete 4.4.4 Retail .zip piece by piece via fastboot.exe according to the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/xt1039-moto-g-4g-stock-firmware-kxb21-t2805619. Then the phone finally worked
Good luck,

Please tell me if I can use both SIM cards in XT1033 after I convert it to GPe
I'm completely new to Android and Flashing ROM.
I search a lot on web but did not find a perfect answer.
Could anyone please tell if I can use both Sim cards in XT1033 after I convert it to google play edition?
I need both sim cards for my day to day calling
Thanks in advance!!

We can use only one sim.
The reason why I would like to change it to Gpe, is because MotoCare, Assist, Alert etc apps from Motorola just consume a lot of battery. I tried to remove these apps but I can't completely remove them.
I need some help with the Moto tool:
1. What is recovery? (Flash stock recovery, fastboot etc., what and when we should use these?)
2. What is Stock recovery? (I'm using KitKat 4.4.4, can I use original google kitkat without Motorola applications?)
3. Can someone provide a link to understand the basics of Android firmware flashing?
I'm a computer engineer and worked on vc++ but I'm completely new to Android
Thanks in advance!

Can I use mototool for GPE 4.4.4? Or has it to be 4.4.2 as the description provided that version.
I had some problem flashing to GPE 444 from Cyanogen 11. It asked for a password to decrypt my phone.
So I flashed it to motorola stock 444, lucky for me it worked.

Has anyone had any luck converting their XT1045 to a stock GPE ROM? During the flashing I get errors "hab check failed for boot" and "hab check failed for recovery" then a boot loop at the unlocked GPE boot screen.

can this be used for lollipop
will this tool work for lollipop 5.0.2

Help!
I tried 'Flash stock recovery' but in the phone it says partition size mismatch.And fails.Help! :/

I have a second Moto G (2013 version). Could I convert that one into a GPE edition and then receive lollipop OTA update? I think the OTA update is out since like a couple months for the GPE version. Any ideas? Also thanks a lot for this, it's a great tool!

Hi,
I want to root an XT1045. ¿Will this tool work with (XT1045) or only in 102X and 103X versions?
Thanks.

Can i root my moto g xt1033 with lollipop 5.0.2 with this tool ?
Thanks a lot!

[Q] MotoG downgrade to 4.3 with Ubuntu (Linux)?

Hello,
I have an XT1032 ('falcon') MotoG, purchased from Tesco in the UK. The bootloader was unlocked very soon after I bought it and I purchased an unlock code to allow it to be used on all UK networks. It works well. I think it was supplied with Android 4.3 Jellybean, and it was updated OTA to 4.4.4 KitKat.
I'm trying to install CM11 M6 (dated 4/5/2014) on the 'phone using CWM6.0.4.7. It appears to install fine, but goes to the bootloop, with the CM face in the middle and the rotating arrow running around it - and never progresses from there. This seems to be a common problem as there are a number of threads about it on this forum. It appears that the solution is to downgrade it to 4.3 by flashing it.
Following the instructions here:
http://www.nerdoholic.com/mobiles/restore-stock-firmware-motorola-moto-g/
... the opening instruction is "Download and install Motorola drivers" - which is where the problems start as it appears that the Motorola drivers are only available for Windows and Mac users, but not for Linux users, and I only have Ubuntu machines to play with.
So, where do I go from here? How can I downgrade to 4.3 with a Linux machine? I have tried the instructions, and they don't complete (although they seem to get most of the way there.)
Alternatively, is there any other way of installing CM11 on my 'phone without downgrading? There seem to be some people around who have made it work by installing CM11 twice (which didn't work for me), by wiping the 'phone and the Dalvik Cache (which also hasn't worked) or by using a different Recovery tool ('Philz Advanced CWM Tool' is mentioned occasionally, but I haven't tried it.)
All help welcomed, thanks. (For clarity, the 'phone is an original Moto G, 16GB. It's not the Moto G2, nor is it the 4G/LTE version that was released a little later.)
Oli.

A little more information - I have backed-up the working configuration of the 'phone with CWM and can restore from it fine. This is hence allowing me to tinker with all sort of other configurations and still get back to an operational 'phone - which is great! However I would be nervous about trying anything that would jeopardise this restore capability, which is one of the reasons why I haven't progressed with Philz Advanced CWM Tool.
Oli.

Linux requires no drivers. Fastboot tutorial here:
http://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378​http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219​
You cannot boot into 4.3 with your 4.4.4 bootloader. I suggest you flash the Retail UK 4.4.4 firmware image available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54872143&postcount=362​

Lost101,
Thanks - I suspected that it was the case that Ubuntu needed no drivers. Will the fact that I am trying to downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.3 explain the fact that the flash didn't complete?
If so, and I try using the Retail UK 4.4.4 image then will it subsequently allow me to install CM11 (which is my final goal)?
Thanks again for your help.
Oli.

Personally I am more inclined to suspect the ROM itself and/or your custom recovery version is the problem.

Lost101,
Thanks again. Following the instructions in your first post (above) has successfully installed 4.4.4 from the Retail UK image. It boots and (appears) to work OK. However manually rebooting into fastboot and choosing 'Recovery' has highlighted the fact that CWM seems to have been lost and SuperSU is not in the Apps List - so it really does look like a very stock build (albeit the unlocked bootloader remains unlocked, as you'd expect).
I guess I therefore gain Root Access and re-install CWM and see where we go from there. Thanks again for your help.
Oli.

You have been using an early build of CWM. I recommend Philz Touch or TWRP.

[Q] Official (not manual) lollipop OTA on unlocked moto g xt1033

So, the situation is I have moto g xt1033 with :- unlocked bootloader, rooted, stock rom 4.4.4 kitkat (i mean no custom rom). and fastboot flash mode 41.13 2014-06-16 and philz touch 6 clockworkmod v6.0.4.7
I want to know how to update to lollipop with official OTA update (not manually or sideloaded)?
Why I am asking this?
I got the prompt of official OTA available on my phone and then i clicked yes and downloaded the update. But when i clicked on install, it went in bootloop. It boots on the philz recovery mode and then nothing happens just restart again whatever i select.
As of now, as I backed up, I recovered to the before state of the phone. Do I need to lock the bootloader again or what? The official OTA update is not for me? Then how to get lollipop? I read the soak test etc threads but why not official update ?

Locking the bootloader won't do anything,so don't lock it
Ota update requires:
1.Stock firmware(unmodified and unchanged or tampered)
2.unrooted
3.Stock recovery
That probably happend becuZ your KitKat firmware was modified and you have custom recovery,root..
So just reflash the stock firmware
Do that on your own risk as failing this might brick your phone
Thank me if I helped

Thanks mate for reply.
1. I have stock firmware KK 4.4.4 (though xposed framework & few modules are installed currently)
2. Rooted
3. What is stock recovery? (m noob here)
And i guess reflashing the stock firmware wipes out all user data & apps, right?
Any other alternative which does not wipes out my data?

Actually there is no other way you could do it
i tried everything i could to stop the wipe procedure but it obviously wiped everything
you just backup everything you have got on your internal and external sd card ..
1.Stock Recovery:: Android devices come with Google’s recovery environment, which is often referred to as the “stock recovery.” You can boot to the recovery system by pressing device-specific buttons as your phone or tablet boots or by issuing an adb command that boots your device to recovery mode. The recovery menu provides options to help recover your device — for example, you can reset your device to its factory default state from here. The recovery mode can also be used to flash OTA update files.
2.Custom Recovery::A custom recovery is a third-party recovery environment. Flashing this recovery environment onto your device replaces the default, stock recovery environment with a third-party, customized recovery environment. This is a bit like flashing a custom ROM like CyanogenMod — but, instead of replacing your device’s Android operating system, it replaces the recovery environment.
what you have to do is:
Find the Kitkat official update on the internet accrouding to your [Build number],[model number] [system version] you can get this information in about phone....
If you have asia retail then follow this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700502

ok Here what i am planning:
1. Uninstall all modules & xposed framework
2. Unroot using supersu
3. Restore/reflash stock recovery (just recovery not whole firmware as I already have stock rom)
4. Install the update either manually via recovery or using auto install.
Am i on right path? Pls help me on step 3, any link or step-t-step guide? I couldn't find one, every post is abt restoring whole firmware.
TIA. Cheers !!

nandroids, firmware & multiROM - Reqst clarification please!

Multi part question here which, in my mind, are somewhat related.. I've read up on many posts but these questions I still am not totally clear on and would rather not risk bricking trying to experiment....
#1) When a nandroid is taken on a particular firmware (say 4.4.4) and then after upgrading firmware to a different firmware (say 5.0.2) and I encounter a problem where there is no OS left after wiping and failing to install a custom ROM (TWRP will report: no OS installed! are you sure you want to reboot?), can I flash restore the 4.4.4 nandroid and be ok or will I brick because of bootloader incompatibility [I come from motorola phones recently - this is my first HTC]?
#2) When adding additional ROMs to multiROM do the ROMs have to be of the same firmware version? Moreover, can multiROM have a sense ROM as it's primary ROM and a GPE ROM as a secondary ROM and vice versa?
( FYI - as of this posting I still have yet to successfully boot my secondary ROM using multiROM - I can successfully install mod'd TWRP, the manager, and the patched kernel but something is eluding me - anyone with a link to a very simplified and step by step procedure on installing mulitRoom would be appreciated. I thought I had enough understanding [of the procedures I could find anyways] but apparently not, as I obviously can not get secondary Rom to boot.) I'm able to add the ROM in TWRP but when I reboot, the ROM is not listed after pressing cancel and going to the multiROM boot screen, there is simply nothing there.
#3) Re: multirom - When I reboot into the mod'd TWRP recovery and flash gapps (or any zip file for that matter) how do I know which ROM the zip is being applied to (ie: primary or secondary)?
Feel free to answer as many or as few of the questions as I know it is a lot. Thanks in advance!

You won't brick it.. softbrick/bootloop maybe.. but it's easy enough just to keep a copy of the different firmware zips to flash before restoring that version nandroid.

Much oblige! I assume then what to do would be to NOT reboot to system but to BOOTLOADER and fastboot flash the zip? or would I flash the firmware from TWRP (I thought firmware had to be fastbootRUU flashed)?
thx again

Confusion about rooting XT1039 on 5.1

Hello all, my problem is that I've unlocked the bootloader and tried CF Auto Root but it just hangs - I've since read it isn't compatible with 5.1.
So how do I root the phone now? Do I actually need a custom recovery, or can I just root it? In the past I've flashed a file from the sdcard and the phone was instantly rooted, so have no experience with recoveries.
Some of the guides I've found are a couple of years old so may be outdated, and there's so many different ways I've been going round in circles.
I have Motorola Device Manager and Minimal ADB + Fastboot installed on a Windows 10 PC, 5.1 version is 23.26.3 peregrine.
Any help greatly appreciated!

Find a compatible recovery for your phone , flash the recovery via adb and then flash SuperSU zip through it .

Thankyou, is there a recommended custom recovery for the xt1039 (Is cwm or twrp better?)?
Is the correct version for xt1039 twrp-3.0.2-0-peregrine.img? Found here: twrp(dot)me/devices/motorolamotog2013lte(dot)html And follow the 'Fastboot Install Method (No Root Required)' instructions?
Will this still work if I'm on 5.1, or does it not matter what version I'm on?
Thankyou for any help, as I said I haven't installed custom recovery before so am a bit unsure.
