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.

Best option for timely official updates is XT1032 Google Play Edition (GPe). But not all custom ROMs are compatible with GPe (as seen with the current 5.0.x custom ROMs).
If only "all custom ROMs supported" is the concern, then any (non-GPe) XT1032 will do. Like US-Retail, UK-Retail, European, Brazilian, Argentinian, etc.
(Actually, all XT1032 are inter-convertible.)
falcon is the name for all 1st gen moto g, XT1028 to XT1034. But actually, its the XT1032 on which custom ROMs are built.. Only later they are made compatible with other versions. So, we can assume falcon to be XT1032.
Also, I've noticed that US-Retail XT1032 (also the one I own) gets the official updates from Motorola (not talking about "Soak Tests") , a little bit earlier than other regions.
Sent from my XT1032 using XDA Free.
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.
Hi, i wanted to know if anybody have the Retail US 4.4.4 firmware on xml.zip for the Moto G 2013 XT1032 (no gpe, lte, or something else, the normal one) i been searching for about 2 hours and only founded the 4.4.2, also, many thanks in advance <3
These are flashable in a custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688
You could also look here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27
A flashable 4.4.4 doesn't work because it will flash the gpt and motoboot and i've downgraded from lollipop and in the filefactory recopilation i founded 2 xt1032 REATIL US but don't know wich firmware it is:
1) US_retail_XT1032_14.10.0Q3.X-84-16_1FF.xml.zip
2) US_retail_XT1032_KXB20.9-1.8-1.4_CFC.xml.zip
This is the one I used on my Telus 7 GB xt1032: http://www.filefactory.com/file/2ed616pxnix7/RETAIL_XT1032_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.61_cid9_CFC.xml.zip
Many thanks bro, everything is working great, finally on 4.4.4!
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?
cchriscollins-
I am in the same situation with same device on PP. I am rooted on 4.4.4. Motorola site still says coming soon.
https://motorola-global-portal.cust...r_detail/a_id/97322/p/30,6720,9050/reg/891617
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?
