thank you, would u prefer rooted over Custom firmware ?
I prefer custom firmwares.... They just have more functionality integrated and I prefer that....Though rooted with xposed and a bunch of cool modules is pretty good too

yes it will lose warranty but there's always the possibility of the service center not knowing you've rooted and unlocked bootloader if you flash back stock rom.

Rooted Moto G Successfully
Hi,
This is excellent.
I was facing problem with me Moto G KK 4.4.4 that loosing signal in both SIM card some times and delay in getting Signal. After reading this nice guide I have rooted Moto G, to see whether the problem solved or not. Currently its working fine.
I have installed greenify- Battery backup increased automatically
Will try Gravity Box
Now my question is- Will my device upgrade to Lolipop when Motorola will release it for Indian dual version phone?
Suggest few more application which will keep phone healthy...
I need the following with full version
1. Poweramp player (patch not working)
2. call recorder (record should be from both side)
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.
danielsinnema said:
Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
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:

I'm now downloading 4.4.4 GPE for Moto G.
I think I will need help again when it's time to install.
Is it the same procedure?

Thank you very much for your help! I couldn't have done / I wouldn't dare it without you.
Those batch files are very useful. I used to flash it manual..

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.

The only sure thing I can see is updating without flashing the bootloader. I've set up 4.4.2 GPE how I want it, so I'll keep it for for now.

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.

Do you also know how to go back to Motorola's Stock Firmware?
I would like to go back because for me the battery life is worse at GPE.

Well, I tried to do that, but it failed.
So I flashed GPE 4.4.4 again.
Isn't it possible to install stock 4.4.2 and update via OTA update?
I can't find Motorola's stock ROM for my region, which is the Netherlands.
No I don't believe you can ota because if a different boot loader version...you can flash the European union firmware...
I actually have a Moto G XT1032 from retail and I would like to know if I convert it to GPe, i will have OTA update for Android L, and will it work ?
Yes.

I don't get it. if we can simply install a GPE rom on our xt1032 and OTA update it to android l with needing to revert back to stock rom and unroot our devices, why is everyone talking about reverting back to original form and not just putting GPE and that's it.
can someone please explain?

Why you flashed Brazilian version. It could brick your phone. Motorola is gonna release official android L here in less than a week, i guess.
Anyway, download indian version of stock 4.4.4 and flash it with stock recovery. Relock the bootloader. Latest motorola adb and fastboot drivers should be there before starting this whole process.
Motorola has updated its OTA updater app a couple of days ago. So go to play store and update it to make your phone ready for android lollipop

And in this way you could end up messing your phone.
Once youre on lollipop there's no way as of now to downgrade to KK.
But once the india lollipop update is out someone will figure out a way to install that.Until then enjoy your phone o Brazilian 5.0.
And also I dont find some good reason to install Indian update ovr brazilian one coz there will be no major change.
I guess both are "Asia retail" firmwares?
Please press THANKS if interesting. Sent from Moto G-od via xt1033 free Android app.

However Single-SIM models cannot send | receive SMS. Radio is not included - available here.First boot can take a few minutes.Screen flicker is due to Kernel. Turn screen off once to fix. Custom stock kernels in the future might solve this.

Busybox
'Cast Screen' Enabled
OTA Updates Disabled (Protecting KitKat Bootloader)
How to flash:
1) Sideload or download ROM to internal storage.
2) Boot into Custom Recovery.
3) Factory Reset (System, Data, Cache, Dalvik)
4) Flash zip, reboot.

If you are GPE, or have ever been; you may need to convert to Stock. More info in FAQ here.

Zip uploaded. I've only now noticed that the source for the ROM was 5.0, not 5.0.1. OTA Update has not been disabled, so it may be possible to upgrade this ROM. I will try to create a new ROM based on 5.0.1 asap.

Updater binary failed to flash. Downloaded twice, using recommended twrp.
Was waiting for it anxiously.
Can anyone confirm that is it working on XT1034 (AWS)?
Edit: My boot loader version is 40.22 :-/
I'm using PACMAN RC-3 (4.4.4).
How to update it?
Should I download this one and flash 5.0.1 over or wait for 5.0.1? I mean will I be able to flash it over 5.0 without having to wipe anything?
Thanks, lost101. Just a couple of questions...
Considering it's a soak test. How stable is this?
What languages are included?

In the past, this is because the user has updated SuperSU via Google Play. Try to not upgrade the installed version for now.
EDIT: I see now there is an issue with root. I'm still testing, but this zip might be what you need: http://download.chainfire.eu/599/CF...to-Root-falconumtsds-falconretbrds-xt1033.zip
UPDATE: Reading the 'Soak Test' threads, people have successfully installed SuperSU included in TWRP / CWM.
