i want to downgrade from lollipop 5.0.2 to android 4.3 due to the overall speed of the moto g whith got bad on 5.0.2 what do you think,, and how do i get rid off the screen ripple bug and thanks
The screen ripple bug is due to the Lollipop bootloader.
What model do you have?
Do you have an unlocked bootloader? If you do, may be able to downgrade to 4.4.4 by flashing a stock ROM. I'm not sure if you can downgrade back to 4.3 on a 41.18 (Lollipop) bootloader.

I need to flash my Moto G (currently on rooted stock 4.4.4) to stock 4.4.2 in order to solve some issues. I could not find any 4.4.4 stock Rom actually, only 4.4.2.
My 3 questions are:
- among the different versions of 44.2 Stock that are listed for my country, can I just select the highest version number?
- will the root stay after restocking to 4.4.2 as per the FAQ?
- once on 4.4.2, will the phone be updated over OTA again to 4.4.4?
Thanks
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.

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?

No.
Hello,
I am currently using Flex OS ROM 5.1.1 on my Moto G XT1033. I seem to be facing performance issues with my device lately. The stock Lollipop firmware that I had (5.1) started giving problems. I have tried using quite a few custom ROMs (5.1.1 and 6.0.1) but they haven't seemed to have helped much. I still face lag issues. My phone is a little more than 2 years old now. Could it be a hardware related issue? I am aware that the bootloader cannot be downgraded. Can I use a KitKat based (4.4.4) custom ROM with the 41.1A bootloader? I would like to see for myself if reverting to a KitKat based ROM solves the issue. As far as recovery is concerned, I am using TWRP 3.0.0. If there is any better suggestion, it is most welcome.
Thanks.
You can flash one of the available KitKat Stock or Custom ROMs in Development. Bootloader does not matter. There is a screen flicker issue that can be resolved by turning screen off once. Some ROMs have been created that include a fix for this.
However do consider trying the following Stock Marshmallow ROM as performance is superior to Lollipop and the experience is more polished overall. It is very important you follow the flashing instructions in first post exactly:
[ROM][FALCON][6.0][STOCK] Identity Crisis 6
Does anyone have a file link to the stock android 4.4.4 firmware for the t-mobile version of the note edge? (sm-n915t)
Here you have never version 5.01 lollipop to flash with odin, the kitkat 4.01 only if someone have saved onn his PC, otherwise you should update to 5.01 or even 6.01 MM.
