Hey guys,
I've been trying to run Lolipop on my dual sim phone and it just never work. Been working on it since morning, flash to stock, convert to gpe, flash 5.0 roms that supposely support convert gpe but it just doesn't work.
One thing i'm not sure is how the convert to gpe suppose to work? After I convert it, should i wipe the rom or flash 5.0 on top of it? If i didnt wipe, the 5.0 wont install. If i did wipe, wouldnt it just wipe my converted gpe rom? I'm so confused.
Anyone?
Updated: Ok. After many hours I finally able to make it work with slimkat. god bless these developers.

Hello everyone I am using an XT1032 which is the Moto G that isn't the google play edition and I was wondering if it was safe to flash to the 4.4.4 custom ROM's such as AOSB?
I've read the guide on how to unbrick and currently I've being trying ROM's and then restoring my ClockWorkMod backup of stock, obviously this stock ROM is 4.4.2 so if I was to upgrade to a 4.4.4 ROM for the XT1032 could I go restore that stock ROM afterwards and get away without bricking? I know there is a fix but I would really like to avoid going through all of that...
Thank you in advance

You should be able to upgrade to 4.4.4 ROM and then restore to anything as long as your boot loader is unlocked.
yes, it is safe
unlock bootloader and convert to gpe 442, receive the ota, having no root and stock gpe 442 recovery just to be super sure
and done
but after having 444, you wont be able to have stock 442 , at least not in an easy way

I have try many way to do that but fail,stay on gpe 444
okay
Okay, I don't mean the official GPE ROM I mean what if I install lets say, Carbon 4.4.4, can I restore my stock backup after?
I installed the latest cm11 nightly (4.4.4) and I could restore my stock 4.4.2 backup with no problems.
The downgrade brick is caused by some partition table changes in the stock OTA I think. Custom roms don't change partition tables so it is fine.
I may be wrong about the cause though, feel free to correct me but I could restore without any problems.
Okay guys. Have a question here. I want to run PA on my XT1033. As far as I know, I'll have to convert to GPE. Now, is there another way? I've tried converting my XT1033 to a single sim by flashing the flashable XT1032 stock 4.4.4 CWM zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688 and then flashing the appropriate radios and my XT1033 behaved like a stock ROM XT1032. That's all dandy and fine, so after that I tried flashing PA, but got system UI fc's at startup.
I dont want to flash GPE bcs it deletes personal data.
so the question is...IS THERE ANOTHER WAY TO GET PARANOID working on my XT1033 by converting it to single XT1032? or am I doing something rom?
thank you so much
No other way to convert to single sim and use PA. You'll have to covert to GPE in order to use XT1032 ROMs.
Since i converted my moto g xt1032 regular version to a gpe version with root and custom recovery.
will i have problems upgrading to lollipop? or i will just lose root and that's it.

You will have trouble. An OTA update needs an untouched system partition, that means no root or deleted files, unroot isn't enough... So I reccomend you to convert back to stock firmware or convert again to gpe but then, dont root or change recovery.. Just wait...
Use this guide to restore to stock firmware.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/guide-restore-moto-firmware-gpe-t2914884

After flashing stock firmware or converting to gpe, you dont have to root or change recovery... If you leave all stock, everything will be ok!!

If you also have stock recovery, you won't have any problem. Heard that you can receive the OTA using any other recovery without touching system files, but if you are not going to change anything, nor flashing another rom until lollipop's arrive, I recommend you flashing stock recovery

Great! thanks a lot. I have stock recovery, I just converted to GPE but left the stock recovery. Then, I will impatiently waiting for Lollipop!
Hello forum, basically, when I got my moto G, it was on 4.3, so I did all the bits, and the step i did after all the rooting unlocking etc was upgraded my bootloader to the lollipop one (ending in 8 i believe) - which i wish i didnt do, and cant downgrade to 4.4.4 (or can I without bricking)......right back to the story.......the problem now is, whenever i try uninstalling apps, or wiping data in any app etc, my phone does a reboot, I installed the brazillian 5.0.2 flashable rom (the optimised one) which worked perfectly, did all the correct wipes etc, but it reboots when uninstalling apps......, and thought i would try dirty unicorns....works well except the rebooting problem...... help....what can I do????????
I read somewhere that maybe to solve it, you gotta change runtime from dalvik to ART, but there is no option to change this....
There are no 5.0.2 uk images available that i have read (so i cant completely get back to complete factory settings)
I really wished i kept the KK bootloader!!!! so who can help me????? I want to try some of the great CM11 builds!!!
Since your bootloader is unlocked and you have the lollipop bootloader, I suggest flashing the stock 4.4.4 (not 4.4.2) ROM for your xt1032 (you will not be able to flash the motoboot file so don't bother trying), upgrade the Motorola apps via Play store, and take the 5.02 OTA update.
FInd your stock ROM here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=1

do i have to update to 5.0.2 again? as i want to try cm11 again
@audit13 is this a flashable zip, or do you need to do it via fastboot? as its got a bootloader included in the zip (4.4.4 kitkat bootloader)
The files from filefactory need to be unzipped and flashed via fastboot or mfastboot.
You do not need to do anything with the stock ROM if you want to install a custom ROM. All you need to do is install a compatible custom recovery and a custom ROM. I suggest flashing right to the latest CM12 rather than using CM11.
I suggested flashing back to the stock for your phone and upgrading to 5.02 via OTA to see if the uninstall problem goes away.
yep understood @audit13 read your other posts on this matter too, the reason I want to use a cm11 rom, is I had a moto g about 8-9 months ago, and there was a rom i loved, and it was cm11 based......will i brick if i do flash this cm11 rom? i know about flickering bug, and possible hard brick if i went back to versions below 4.4.4 ...... and i love cyanogenmod roms, as i dont get irritating moto updates etc
Flashing CM11 should not be a problem as CM11 ROMs do not touch the bootloader or modem.
so basically, downgrade to the 4.4.4 firmware file, and cm11 and im done? yeah?
You can try to flash cm11 directly over stock 5.02. If it doesn't work, you may have to flash back to stock 4.4.4, install recovery, and then flash cm11.
Hey guys.
I have an LatAm Moto Maxx XT1225 sold in chile by Movistar and just trying unroot and get 100% restored, but I made the critical mistake of wipe system and now i can't install any rom.
I was trying install roms via TWRP with the stock rom 5.0.2, the new one 6.0.1 and CM 12.1 stable but i have no luck....
At now the device just stop displaying "Bootloader uncloked" and vibrate, but nothing more.
Maybe this thread seems like this one link .
Same situation, same condition but different model.
Anybody can help me plz? I been trying for 5 days
Use RSDLite to install a factory image, preferably this one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6eO3YZmYHfhNWZlQUx0RWM1Mnc/view (taken from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/general/quark-stock-firmware-moto-maxx-droid-t3063470). It's the Indian version, but it will work perfectly in our device (mine was bought in Chile too). After that, you will be able of installing any other ROM of your preference.
Don't even try to install previous versions (Lollipop or Kitkat), it won't work, and custom ROMs are made with the latest bootloader/radios in mind.
Status update:
Just try with RSD method an it works!
