[Q] Uninstalled GPE Rom, now I have no OS

I installed the GPE, and then foolishly did a wipe of my phone.
I have the TeamWin Recovery installed on the phone when I do fastboot.
However I have tried installing the stock UK ROM for Moto G but it's not letting me install due to 'downgrade'
Now I have a Moto G without any OS installed.
What ROM can I install and how??

If you have still recovery installed then you can install CyanogenMod 11 latest nightly.

Download MotoTools in the original development section along with any firmware in the development section and follow the instructions from that post.

If you flash the latest 4.4.4 firmware image for Retail UK you will have no problems. The downgrade message is occurring because you are flashing 4.4.2 or older.
4.4.4 firmware image available here:

[Q] CM 12 in XT1033 (Not converted into GPE)

My Moto G is XT1033 varient. I didnt converted it into GPE. Its just normal XT1033 out of box. I unlocked the bootloader and then flash TWRP (2.8.0.1-xt1032) recovery to install CM12. But when i booted into recovery, i got flickering screen. Then i flashed Philz Touch (philz_touch_6.58.7-falcon) and installed CM 12 official by wiping data, system and cache. But i cant get pass through the boot logo. Is there any way to get latest TWRP for XT1033 varient. How can i flash CM 12 in my XT1033 varient without converting it into GPE.

Flash CM11 first. Then flash CM12 over it. Though dual sim is not working on XT1033.

Ok. If i flashed CM 12 through CM 11 will i get one sim working?
Anyway, in CM12 thread, they mentioned that we need L compatible recovery. What will happen if i flashed CM11 using Philz (Which i think Kitkat compatible recovery.) Will it work on Lollipop. And since, i trapped in bootscreen, how can i flash CM11 without copy it to my mobile. Thanks.

I downloaded CM 11. But i cant copy that to my mobile, since it cant surpass the boot screen. i tried adb sideload and adb push. But permission denied. Please help me on this.

1. No dual sim or just one sim in slot will not work
2. I used philz to flash cm12 and had no problems.

So you didnt convert XT1033 to GPE?
How long it will take to boot up for first time?

[Q] How to root Moto G on stock 5.0.2 Lollipop?

So I am on pure stock Lollipop 5.0.2 for Moto G, and I need to root it to flash custom CM12.1 builds.

Well first of all you don't need to root your phone to install cm12. What you have to do is unlock your boot loader (check Motorola's website) then flash a custom recovery such as TWRP and flash the ROM with g-apps. Will make a quick guide later today if you need it.

Moto g XT1033 stuck in PA 5.1 Boot Screen.. Help please !

Hi all
In order to use a custom rom , I did the following with my moto g XT1033.
It was running on android 4.4.4 wen i did all these.
1. Unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp 2.8.7.0.
2. Downloaded the latest PA build from here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2614690"
3. And downloaded pico gapps.
4. When i flashed the rom it told that the bootloader is out of date. So i updated the bootloader following this thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/falcon-bootloader-upgrader-tool-t3093793"
5. And when i flashed the rom it was flashed fine. And the gapps and supersu also.
But when i reboot it stucks in bootscreen. I tried wiping and flashing once again. It doesnt work. The bootloader and the recovery are remaining safe and good.
Shud i try a new different ROM or is there any problem with my procedure.. ???

The current bootloader version is 41.18. Moto g phones using 5.1.1 had bootloader version as 41.1A. Does this make a difference..?

Try another rom like aicp or euphoria

Hey my moto g3 cm 12.1 camera pictures taken with flash are black panorama pictures appear orange and slow mo is not working

No 41.18 is still fine (it also can be used for marshmallow ROMs e. g. CM 13 or CyanPop)!

Did you root your device after you unlock your bootloader? Maybe you can try to flash supersu first then try to reflash rom and gapps.
