You can't down grade moto devices, I don't understand what you meant by alternatives, you can't do it via fast boot that I know of yet

Maybe he means that he has an unlocked bootloader and wants to. I don't think you can.

I took it to mean that he, like many others who received 4.4.4 ( myself included) on their Maxx when it was shipped to them, would like to be able to root the device. I think he wants to downgrade back to 4.4 to do this. By alternative, he meant if it wasn't possible was there another way to get root. Of course the answer there is no.

Are you international or in the US? Is your phone a 925 or 926? People really need to start clarifying this. If you're international and on the XT925, you can unlock through Moto. However, no-one ever posts this, they only say that they have a HD.

There is no announced date for the Kit Kat update for our phones. But yes, we have to wait.

Don't expect to be able to root and unlock it. You might have a better chance of getting root, but I wouldn't hold your breath.
As for me, I will hold off on the kit kat update, when it comes, before I apply it. I want to make SURE it doesn't re-lock my boot loader. I doubt that it will, since it's a physical change in the hardware (blown fuse), but you never know.
Always best to wait and see what others have to say before taken any OTA.
Lol if i can root okay, it's kitkat i don't need anymore, with xposed framework yo, you can custom your rom however you want.
Hope the update come this month
Also, sorry for my bad english lol.

Hi All,
I have looked through the forums and searched the Google and I can't find the correct info for my situation so I appreciate any help.
I have a Moto G GPe that I ordered from Google Play, it came with Android 4.4.2 on it and I am wondering if I can downgrade it to 4.3.
I've unlocked the bootloader and it looks like I should be able to flash a custom recovery, the problem is that I cannot find an image for the stock Moto G GPe 4.3 firmware.
I want to downgrade because I have a need to test an Android app on 4.3.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

There is a regular Motorola 4.3 firmware available
you can get it here - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
just to let you know, it will try to force you to update to 4.4.2

Awesome, I wasn't sure if I could use the regular Motorola firmware on it. I had read that the partition tables are different and I've only seen threads where people flash from the Motorola firmware to the GPe version.
Do you think this would present any problems?
Thanks again.
Backup anything you want to keep because the phone will be completely wiped. There should be no problems. You can find out how to easily disable KitKat 'update' notifications, if you search this forum. It's worth considering there is an issue with the Moto G that should be patched in the next few weeks, but that will require you to update to 4.4.2/3.

Why can't we flash the D6603 pre-rooted XZDR 5.1.1 Rom on a rooted/recovery D6616? I thought the only thing stopping us before was that we did not have root or a custom recovery on the 6616, so we could not do it without losing DRM keys. Has that changed or not?
Because bricking your phone isn't fun
Right, I understand that there are risks involved. What I am trying to understand is what in particular creates those risks. Could you explain a little further why flashing a D6603 zip would brick the D6616?
I am curious about this as well.
I just recently got my Z3, which I had to unlock since I use AT&T. I now want to root and put 5.1 on it, but it seems like the T-Mobile one is so locked down. As far as I know about DRM keys I don't really care about them since I am not planning on using any Sony software (except maybe the camera software) If I could just put 5.1 on it, with a camera app that shoots RAW I would be happy.
What version do you have? We have root for the D6616 but that won't help us get 5.1 from what I can see. Best bet is to get the D6603 if that is what is most important to you.

I have the D6616.... I guess I don't care so much about 5.1 as I do getting the best battery life possible. But it looks like custom roms are not available since the boatloader is locked?

That's correct - we're limited to modifications of stock. But that makes me wonder why 5.1.1 wouldn't work.

I've been looking for a 5.1.1 for the D6616..... Prerooted.... No one has this yet? I am on 4.4.4 stock rooted ROM, and I have a flashable 5.0.1, but I see no reason to not want 5.1.1, so why do you say root on 5.1.1 isn't doable?

It's not root that's not doable. There exist 5.1.1 prerooted zips for D6603. The issue is that 5.1.1 for the D6616 has not been released yet, hence it has not not been rooted.

For now the only way we can is to wait for them to release the update, which judging by how long Motorola is taking, will take like 10 years :/
You think hard resetting the phone, wiping the cached data, and updating the Motorola update service from Google play will do the trick for our variants. I know one guy who did it on G+ but his is an unlocked variant that he bought from Motorola and he has at&t

Any way to downgrade to Kitkat 4.4.4?
Thanks
Mod Edit:
Thread closed at OPs request.
You can downgrde by using Flashtool by @Androxyde and flash 4.4.4 ftf for your model but you will loose your data because of lollipop ART. If you need a ftf i can upload one for you

Thanks. I'm not going to flash it right now, but I'll need latest version of Kitkat available for D2302. I'll get my hands on a PC in a week, then I'll flash the phone.
I have one question though.
After downgrading through flashtool, will my phone be able to recieve OTA? (in case they decide to release fix for camera) Or will I have to flash again for update?
And I saw that some people were saying they had good camera after lollipop, May I know what did they do?

Yes, after downgrading you will be able to OTA upgrade to lollipop but I think OTA won't work if you have an unlocked bootloader. And i don't know how people with a good camera quality have do this.

Thanks! I have an unlocked bootloader. I'll definitely flash Kitkat now.
Hi,
Could anyone please upload latest stock Kitkat 4.4.4 ftf for D2302 India?
Is there any difference between different countries ftf? Like FM frequency, etc.
And one last question, Can I flash stock Sony ftf with Locked Bootloader? And will it still be able to get official updates?
Thanks
