As usual i was on 4,4,4 Moto but then i flashed GPE 4.4.4 then updated to Lolipop, now i want to go back to motorola and is this ever going to be possible without facing the consequence some people have faced already? A brick? Is this currently available? Is there an update from motorola coming, such as the 5.0.2 Lolipop update?
Lollipop 4.4.4? haha If you updated to 5.0 the boot loader has been updated, and there will be some bugs when you downgrade like a line going down the screen sometimes.

I sucesfully converted to Kitkat 4.4.4 GPE, however, is it possible to flash Moto 4.4.4 with the Lolipop 41.18 bootloader ? I dont want to break the phone but i really hate GPE!
I tried and got 4.4.4 stock but you got some bugs, a little bugs, no brick.

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to all of this. I have a question about this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2767026
I am currently rooted, and safestrap on version 4.4.2 of kitkat. When I flash this, I am going to flash version 4.4.2, but this rom also has downloads for 4.4.3 and 4.4.4. Do I need to start with 4.4.2 and flash my way up in order to get to 4.4.4?
Thanks!

no, you can flash any one.
Is it possible to get back from 5.0.1 GPE to 4.4.4 GPE and then from 4.4.4 GPE back to Retail 4.4.4?
I have Lollipop now, but I think its not so stable like KitKat, it has many compatibility problems with some App and so I decide to go back to Retail, because I don't really like the GPE Version of the Moto G, some APPs are not included and I think I miss the "old" KitKat.

Yeah I already tried the second link.
i want to downgrade from lollipop 5.0.2 to android 4.3 due to the overall speed of the moto g whith got bad on 5.0.2 what do you think,, and how do i get rid off the screen ripple bug and thanks
The screen ripple bug is due to the Lollipop bootloader.
What model do you have?
Do you have an unlocked bootloader? If you do, may be able to downgrade to 4.4.4 by flashing a stock ROM. I'm not sure if you can downgrade back to 4.3 on a 41.18 (Lollipop) bootloader.
Hi. I am in really desperate need of some help. I have a Verizon Moto G XT1028PP. I am in need of the original stock rom. This particular phone is from the earlier batch that was released with Android 4.4.2. I have tried several roms but errors show up when flashing the gpt.bin and especially the motoboot.img One of those roms was the CFC Falcon 4.4
2. Any and all help is appreciated. I am looking forward to hearing from someone real soon.
XT1028 Stock ROMs are available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688
Latest version of TWRP recommended: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2980621
Where can I download Verizon Lollipop ROM for Motog G1?
There is a lot of buzz about 5.0.1 being released in the US for all Moto g phones OTA but how do I manually get this release? I am on Page Plus with a modified Boost Mobile phone and I am not getting the update ota. Has the Lollipop version for CDMA services been released, where?

I am in the same situation with same device on PP. I am rooted on 4.4.4. Motorola site still says coming soon.

I am happy with 4.4.4 on the Moto G and just ok with 5.2 on a rooted 1st gen Nexus 7. It has to be restarted every day or so b/c of memory leaks and lagging.

You sir, are posting in the wrong section! This is the development thread, no place to be asking questions. That is what the Q & A section is for.
On another note, downgrading is risky because of the possibility of bricking because of incompatible bootloaders.
The safest way to return to Android 4.4.4 is by unlocking Bootloader and flashing one of these Stock ROMs via TWRP.
[ROM][4.4.4][STOCK][FLASHABLE ZIP] Stock Motorola KitKat ROM Collection​
The Optimized ROMs have OTA updates disabled. You do not want any kind of Motorola OTA Update. These updates include Bootloader patching and may end up destroying your phone.

Use this thread instead:
[ROM][FALCON][5.1][STOCK] Stock Motorola Lollipop ROM Collection​
EDIT: Fastboot should be okay as a way to return to Lollipop. But the Optimized Stock ROMs offer better performance and battery-life.
is there any chance of hardbrick while downgrading to 4.4optimised and then upgrading to 5.1 optimised?
