[Q] XT1033 4.4.4 converted to GPE 4.4.4 not booting

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:.

[Q] Need help rooting Moto G GPE on 5.0.1

Hi. So i updated my converted XT1032 GPE to Lollipop and now i want to root it. I have checked out the Chainfire threads but i am rather dubious if it will work on GPE. Has anyone rooted GPE on 5.0.1? Is it possible to flash the Philz recovery i had on 4.4.4 and root it by flashing a supersu zip? Any help will be appreciated.

Help! Moto G Bricked

Guys help me Ibricked my moto g .Here is what i did
I have a XT1033 on stock lollipop with unlocked bootloader. So i first flashed cwm using fastboot, booted fine in recovery and back to system.
Then i again entered fastboot mode and flashed TWRP 2.8.5 for XT1032(There was no specific for xt1033). Booted fine into recovery , took a backup of entire rom .It was fine till now. Then when i booted into system the phone was stuck at boot logo. It kept on restarting again and again and when i entered fastboot mode to enter into recovery the recovery partition was also corrupted and it was stuck at teamwin logo.
but the bad things didnt end here.When i flashed stock firmware using fastboot the system sparsechunk files falshed with an error "FILE IS TOO LARGE". I tried both 4.4.4 and 5.0.2 but its still stuck at bootlogo.
PLEASE HELP ME DEVS

here u go
Happened with me once
Follow this:
1.Flash gpe 4.4.2 firmware( u may have xt1033 but still flash it)
2.Don't update the gpe to 4.4.4 or ur device will hardbrick(don't cry afterwards)
3.flash asian 5.0.2 firmware from fastboot
4.enjoy!

is it safe to flash gpe 4.4.2 over over 5.0.2
And if i flash it am i supposed to flash it with or without gpt.bin and motoboot.img
and also while flashing asian 5.0.2 are these two commands needed to be flashed.

is it safe to flash gpe 4.4.2 over asian 5.0.2(because flashing a gpe rom changes partitions on the device)
And if i flash it am i supposed to flash it with or without gpt.bin and motoboot.img and after flashing gpe 4.4.2 do i need to boot into OS or i need to directly flash 5.0.2 over it
and also while flashing asian 5.0.2 are these two commands needed to be flashed.
please reply
thanks
PS: Can you provide me the link to gpe 4.4.2 firmware and the fastboot commands i am not able to find them

Flashing fastboot files will never hard brick the device...just don't play with OTA's
and yes while flashing 4.4.2 skip gpt and motoboot and while flashing asian 5.0.2 no need of skipping

sorry but you didnt answer all my questions-
1 will flashing gpe 4.4.2 change partitions on device which will result in errors while flashing asian 5.0.2 over it
2 do i need to boot after flashing 4.4.2 gpe
and please provide the link for gpe 4.4.2 with fastboot commands because they are different from stock motoroms

[Q] is it safe ?

I have converted my moto g to gpe. I've literally love the speed of 5.1 and can't go back.. Since all ROMs for 5.1 are buggy(at least for me) I've decided to try official ota gpe. I know I should revert back to stock kitkat gpe which is easy but I'm afraid the ota update for lollipop might brick my device since it's not gpe and that it already has lollipop bootloader from dual sim moto g. Is it possible to do this without running into fatal issues ?

It's not worth the risk. Moto G is getting old now, if you brick; there might not be a firmware image to get you out of it. I will create a flashable zip when a TWRP backup is available.

alright then, i will wait for a stable lollipop 5.1 build. Thanks !

YOu can flash the 4.4.4 firmware and OTA it to 5.0.1
but if u flash 4.42 firmware,ur phone will be hard bricked
So whats u have to do is
flash 4.4.4---->flash 5.0.1---->flash 5.1
voila

Flash a gpt.bin file of some other firmware and then flash a ROM or flash GPE 4.4.4 firmware and then continue.

Yes you can directly downgrade. Avoid flashing motoboot.IMG since as of now there are changes of bricking. You'll have screen flicker only on GPE 4.4.4. After flashing thee screen will not flicker any more.
