Guys,
So I've converted my XT1032 to GPE so I could get Lollipop update. But now, I need to restore to original Moto Stock so I can recover my warranty. I heard once I convert GPE and install Lollipop, I can't go back.
Can you guys provide me some tutorial if it's possible.
Lots of thanks.
You just can't go back or your phone will remain as a brick.

If you need it for warranty then just brick it.
Because warranty checks bootloader locked/unlocked status and there is no way you can change that status to "never unlocked".

Hi everyone,
As precised in the title, I'm not pretty sure about the right method to adopt to revert back to stock (stock ROM, unroot, lock bootloader) in my situation.
I searched the forum, with several answers, but I'm not sure.
Can someone confirm me the right method please?
Thanks a lot
You cannot re lock your boot loader as it is forever unlocked.
You will have to find a unrooted stock ROM that will revert the OS back to normal without root.
But unfortunately you're forever unlocked

Hi, unfortunatley I don't think it is possible at the current point in time as the 4.4.4 update comes with a brand new partition table (On the GPE anyway but both are practicly stock), however your issues may be fixable.
When I upgraded my Moto G (4.3 to 4.4) it caused lots of wierd issues, I just backed up my data, factory reset it and it worked like clockwork. I just don't think they have got upgrading perfected yet on any O/S or phone
Not sure how it is with a locked BL.
But i was able to run 442 on a 444 gpt.bin.

It depends but on the GPE people have had issues with the partition table
Hello!
I have N5 from the first batch. GPS is like ***, recently even worse, problems with microphone etc. I've decided to return the phone. However, my problem is that the phone was bought in USA while I stay in EU. So I have to prepare the phone perfectly before I send it to my friend who will deal with returning it to google.
List of sins: unlocked bootloader, CM a lot, now upgraded to Android 5.0 (using factory images from google). Till the update the device was not modified. However, I'm little bit scared, because bootloader seems to be unlocked.
Is my warranty void? Or can simply I return the phone with bootloader unlocked? If no, please help - is there a step-by-step guide on how to completly return to stock including locking bootloader? Returning to 4.4.4. is ok, I'm sending the phone back to USA anyway
I'll be extremly greateful for help.
Br,
Piecho
Just flash back to stock relock bootloader.
You need the nexus 5 toolkit .

Reflash stock rom then return it as it is. Google does not care about have the bootloader unlocked or not.
Don't use any toolkit learn the proper commands and do it manually. The Google factory images page gives you step by step instructions. Like said before, Google doesn't care about unlocked boot loader. The factory images page even tells you to unlock, flash, then relock lol
Hello everyone! I didn't want to root my new MOTO G 2015 but I need more storage if I want to install more app's, I saw with root permissions we can transfer full sized app's to the sd, is it true? and how? I've seen already a guide how to root moto g 2015, but know I want to know how to transfer full sized app's to the SD and then i'll decide if I want to root or not.
Do you think I should root? It will be better If i want more storage?
Is it safe? The Lollipop will be automatically installed after the root? I have no need on install other Android OS.
Thank you!
Hey! I can see that you are new here, but rooting your phone isnt gonna delete anything of your data if you search on this forum for Link2sd than you will find a tuturial for how to do that. But if you dont understand any of the words "Brick" or "fastboot" you should do some research first.
success!

Hello HelpMeruth! And thank you for replying my question!
Here's what I already searched this is , i've got alot of information already but the information I got says my phone will be formatted I think. Brick I remember that word a long time ago when the PSP Scene I know it's not android but I remember it, it's like having a non funcional phone, bricked.
Here's the guide I saw: (I can't post links, if you can search on the youtube : "Moto G 3rd Gen(2015) - How to Root - Unlock Bootloader & Custom Recovery") and tell me if that guide will not brick or format my moto g 3
Any chance of getting bricked? It will remove my SIM Service? I have the phone just for a week and the warranty it's 2 here's, If I root the warranty goes out, is it worth rooting?
Thanks for the reply sir and yes i'm really new in the android scene, just came from the iOS one, got mad at iOS
I can confirm that your phone will not be formatted
The word brick means that your phone wont start up.
Its a gamble for everyone to root, so when you are gonna do it try just booting Twrp. That is the safest way to test it.
But strart with unlocking your bootloader thats already a big step for rooting (unlocking bootloader will format your data!)
If you got any questions send me message!
Its your choise to root or not

You do NOT need to unlock bootloader in order to root.
You DO need to unlock your bootloader for TWRP, unless booted temporarily.

What? you have to unlock the bootloader in order to boot/flash twrp.
and with twrp you can root, how do you root with locked bootloader?

You shouldnt be able to root with a locked bootloader, i quote: 'A locked bootloader locks write access to several partitions like the system partition. This is the reason why rooting is not able without unlocked bootloader.' found on this site https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-main-differences-between-Rooting-and-Unlocking-Bootloader
that tool just has a build in fastboot/adb and automate things for you.
(sorry for my bad english)

Yeah after doing some research motorola devices seem to have that in place. I was speaking generally from a vanilla aosp aspect. Good find.

Btw, If I install CyanogenMod it will reset my moto g firmware? Or install another firmware version? Thanks

Installing cyanogenmod will still keep you on 5.1.1 your device will just be modified (custom tweaks etc..) so if you have to unlock your bootloader it will void any warranties you have. If you don't have one or don't care just make sure to read carefully as you sound relatively new to CM and you don't want to brick your device.

Yes it will be modified to cyanogenmod firmware right? So the firmware updates from MOTO G 3 I had installed will go resetted to the cyanogenmod firmware right?

Correct.
Cm12.1 is just 5.1.1 that's why I said it would.
You may see custom aosp 6.0 ROMs before any real factory builds.

I unlocked my phone but can't prevent the unlocked bootloader warning from popping up. Is it possible to have a different load screen instead? I was able to do this on my Moto G5 Plus with a new .img file I think. The warning still comes but it's masked with a more appropriate Motorola logo.
Thanks!

https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/help/help-t3774285 - it's impossible at the moment, and since that it's all about esthetic, it'll hardly be taken in consideration.
Is there any way to revert back to factory settings then? I'd rather not use a custom rom if I have to look at that warning, and it would be useful if I want to sell the phone.
You must relock the bootloader.
OK, how do I do that? The problem is that I have SlimRom installed, so I don't know if that's possible with SlimRom. I just want to go back to factory. Is there a guide?
Thanks.
You must go back to stock for being able to correctly lock the bootloader without problems, here's a guitar about how to do that https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/how-to-to-stock-emui-5-0-flashing-twrp-t3679985
