Hello fellow moto heads. I'd like to convert my recently purchased xt1032 to GPe complete stock. The brand new phone came with 4.4.4 so it's always had bootloader 41.13. I've unlocked it and found the gpe full stock 4.4.4 images easily enough. However I'm getting prevalidation errors trying to flash gpt.bin and mboot. I figured I shouldn't try to keep going with the next images. I suppose the flashable zips could work if I flash the stock kernel as well, and convert /data to ext4.
This thread can be deleted, I just went ahead and flashed GPE_XT1032_KTU84P.M003_CFC.xml ignoring the preflash errors and the hab bad crc errors and its working well

hi
i have installed the gpe kot49h firmware in my moto g xt1032 and it's working smooth, but the boot.img flashed appears to be unsigned and some hab checks failed on flashboot proccess (i have tried at least two copies of aparently the same dumped firmware, mirrors, i suspect)
it will or can be possible to apply OTAS when become available?
also, i noticed that in the dumped GPE firmware there isnt %fastboot% flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn, it's missing?, maybe necessary?
thanks in advance

Right guys here's what's going on....
I converted my UK retail XT1032 to the GPE rom using the Moto Tool AIO, Managed to do it just fine, upgraded to the 4.4.4 GPE OTA and as I wanted to sell this phone on I wanted to restore the stock Moto G UK firmware, however it soft bricks every time I try.
Basically the GPT partition from the UK 4.4.2 stock Motorola firmware refuses to flash.
As due to that not flashing the system files, boot image and motoboot image basically fail to flash and the system files come up with "Invalid PIV image" or something close to that.
Can anyone help me to figure this out?
Thanks in advance.

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem. Has anybody got a fix?
Hi,
unfortunately I am not able to flash CM12 on my XT1032. Phone is unlocked, converted to GPE and flashed via OTA to GPE 5.0.1 so I have L bootloader. I tried many recoveries (TWRP 2.7.x.x-2.8.x.x), CWM, CWM PhilZ Touch, different CM12 versions but without succeed. The strangest thing is that latest CM11 can be installed without any problems. I have also tried to convert data partition from ext4 to f2fs.
When I am going to install .zip, I am always getting this error, no matter what I've tried:
Code:
E: executing updater binary
Cant mount /system.
Failed
I will welcome any suggestions, thank you!
I think i found a fix. Worked for me on XT 1032
That was my original post:
Okay sorry for that double posting, but i managed do find a solution to the error message while installing cm12 oder any other lollipop rom.
It seems like the system-partition size of the GPE 4.4.4 differs from the stock or cm12. Thats why i always got the error status 1 (installation aborted).
I tried to downgrade to 4.4.4 and 4.4.2 with no luck, always the same. But then i found a modified gpt.bin wich lets you "update" to the old stock 4.4.2 partition sizes.
So i flashed this gpt.bin and then the other files of the stock gpe 4.4.2. After the first boot i directly flashed the 13/01/15 nightly of cm and everything works as far as i can say now.
Here is the gpt.bin-file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...76&postcount=2

Thank you for your answer. According to many guides - GPE Lollipop bootloader and gpt.bin (when you updated via official OTA from Google) should have not been overridden with older versions because it can make your device bricked. Are you sure that this method is safe?
I am also considering to keep CM11 on my device and wait for official L images or new versions of recoveries/CM12.

I could flash CM11 without Problems but i got bootloops even with Retail EU Stock ROM (reboots on "Warning unlocked bootloader" message). I came from official GPE 5.0.1.
I think the gpt-file is modified because it was able to overwrite the lollipop gpt. The phone booted up and got me GPE 4.4.2 on which i could flash cm12 without any problem.
Works fine even after 1 day of heavy usage. Updated cm12 through cm-updater also. Maybe i was lucky, but it worked

I found there is no need to revert phone back to KK. I've just flashed fixed gpt.bin and everything has started to work like a charm.

How did you get this?
gpt.bin is not flashing here:
"(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)"
"version downgraded for primary_gpt"
I was using stock Lollipop Soak Test, and I've tried to back to KitKat.
Now I can't boot to any version and I can't flash one. Bricked.
You are not bricked, I got the same message, fastboot flash recovery and then boot to it.

I'm pretty sure this isn't going to be replied but when I flash the gpt .bin it will typically erase everything and repartition it for the 4.4.2. So... I have to sideload a zipped official ROM or flash it from command?
Hi,
My search skills are very bad so pardon me if this has been asked too many times.
I've read somewhere that downgrading is possible by manual method without flashing the gpt and motoboot file.
Once downgrade is done. is it possible to install a custom kitkat rom afterwards?
You should be fine. Flashing gpt.bin file is necessary when coming from a GPE to non-GPE ROM. GPE and non-GPE do not use the same file format for user data.

I have a moto g global version xt1032.
Thanks. I actually installed lost101's optimized 5.02 which i did not think was a gpe version. however, I downgraded to 4.4.4 using a script to 4.4.4 gpe. I am getting ota for 5.0.1. If I do want to update to it sometime, will it work?
If you are on stock 4.4.4 with stock recovery and unrooted, OTA should work.
Hi, i've been reading a lot of posts explaining how to do "GPE LP to KK", and other things, but i want to know if i can flash the BR 5.0.2 firmware image directly above my 5.0.1 GPE without any problems. Thanks in advance
If you manually flash the stock BR 5.02 to each partition using fastboot commands, you should be fine. Every file will flash except for the motoboot file. I say this because I was able to flash stock Telus 4.4.4 on an xt1032 that I converted to the GPE edition.
So doesn't matter if motoboot refuse to flash, because GPE and Stock LP have the same included, right?
For me, stock 4.4.4 and stock 5.02 both worked on my xt1032 with bootloader 41.18.
Even if you tried to flash an older bootloader, it would fail the validation check.
Ok finally i managed to downgrade to EU retail 4.4.4 and then OTA to 5.0.2. All the process was great. Thank you for your help [emoji4]
