So heres the problem i updated my phone to Lollipop; Motorola Stock version, now I plan and have full intentions to flash to CM12. The problem I'm not facing is finding a Lollipop compatible custom recovery which would help me flash to CM12. Oh and its a XT1033. All help is appreciated.

Use TWRP 2.8.1.0. Though I'll advise you to avoid flashing CM12 since it does not support dual sim.

Thanks for the tip hope there won't be issues with screen flickering in this version of TWRP. I have no problem with the single/double sim as I'll be flashing Donkey Kang Kernel enabling me to get one SIM working which is more than enough for me.

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 - I was on Gummy-M1.2-03-10-14-NIGHTLY-d2lte with pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140207-signed.
I was on I upgraded the other day by flashing:
Furnace kernel 1.0.8-aosp_m8
Gummy-M2.3-07-15-14-NIGHTLY-d2lte
pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140608-signed
Only then did I find out that my 64GB external SD card is read-only and basically worthless in Android V4.4.4, (thanks a BUNCH, Google!!) (NOT!).
What is preventing people from being successful in downgrading back to 4.4.2? If re-flashing the old stuff isn't a good answer, do you know if a simple restore of my Nandroid backup would take it back?
What a pain!
Thanks!
i would like to know this aswel ,is it possible to go back to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4 ?

Magically after flashing CM i was finanly able to downgrade to a working 4.4.2. Do not really know what happend and if it is somehow related. I'll try to reproduce it later..
I was able to downgrade from stock 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 but not any lower.

Hi all,
I have rooted my Moto G and I installed Cyanogenmod 11 on it.
Cyanogenmod hasn't made Snapshot builds since M6.
M6 is getting old. I could install the latest nightly, but last time I installed a nightly version I couldn't play Soundcloud and other music related apps.
So I want to go back to Stock 4.4.4
I've got 2 questions:
1) Where can I download the stock firmware? I have already searched at http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14 , but I can't find the latest 4.4.4 update. (at least not for my region, which is The Netherlands)
2) There are plenty of firmwares. Before I installed Cyanogenmod, Stock 4.4.2 176.44.1.falcon_umts.EURetail.en.EU (no specific carrier) was preinstalled on the device. Now I would like to install Android 4.4.2 KOT49H.M004 (no specific carrier) which is smaller than the preinstalled one. But is it safe to do that?
Thanks in advance!
Did you ever update your phone to 4.4.4 on stock via OTA?

What's your bootloader version? If it's 41.13 you can install the GPE 4.4.4 firmware, pure android from google, or the European version again, if you want the Motorola features (MotoCamera, MotoGallery, Radio FM, MotoAssist, SMS Messaging (AOSP), Keyboard (AOSP), MotoCare, MotoMigrate). I like the GPE, I miss just a little the HDR mode of the MotoCamera. GPE also consumes less ram.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I found out that I have bootloader version 41.13. I would like to convert my moto g to Google Play Edition. Is it safe to install KOT49H (4.4.2, which has a lower bootloader version)? I can't find the file for GPE 4.4.4.

Yes, I updated from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 via OTA on stock ROM. I had installed a custom recovery at that moment. I was afraid it would go wrong, but the recovery successfully installed 4.4.4.

Hi,

How do I get to know the bootloader version? By the way, I didn't know I mentioned the google play edition firmware. And where can I find the firmware of 4.4.4? On that website I can only find 4.4.2.
Again, thanks!

If you updated to 4.4.4 via OTA you running the v41.13, it's shown in the fastboot main page (the one you get when you press vol down + power button). There you go:
GPE 4.4.4
If you have XT1032 will work for sure, I never tested it on other models.:good:

You're welcome I hope you like your GPE Moto G as I like it. It's a very light firmware, on my device the battery consumption in airplane mode is only 3℅ per night and the average ram usage is like 450-500 MB. Also I never got lag during the usage... And you get updates 1 month before the others. Enjoy it
This thread answers the questions I've been wondering about for the longest while but one problem, my bootloader is 41.11 (XT 1032 US Global version on 4.4.3) and my worries is if I update to 4.4.4 GPE and want to switch back to stock 4.4.3, I would not be able to. Currently running 4.4.2 GPE on the 41.11 (stock 4.4.3) bootloader. Everything works well, just can't change bootloader, obviously.

I flashed 4.4.4 GPE then 4.4.4 brazil, then 4.4.3 brazil, then 4.4.2 brazil, then 4.4.2 GPE... in this precise order. You can flash whatever you want The only thing you can't downgrade is the bootloader.

The firmwares for 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 GPE does not have in the emmc but the OTA does. As I said above, someone is looking to buy the phone, so I would leave it as is. Plan to get to get the dual sim version.

No I don't believe you can ota because if a different boot loader version...you can flash the European union firmware...

You cant try the method cyanogenmod asks its users to follow [here]. They link you to some cwm recovery. This is a technique which I can not guarentee will work and i suggest you try it out only if you are fairly acquainted with messing around with your phone and fixing soft bricked devices.

You can update your modem, but you can't use a KitKat modem as they're incompatible with Lollipop. Nobody can recommend one as modem performance varies depending on unique factors like your location. You'll find some here:

Also for flash a new modem I just need to flash it through recovery right?
