[Q] A big doubt ?

Okay I know your probably gonna think outright this an Android L page right, I'll not lie yes but in a different way.
Okay right now I'm running Motorola Stock Android 4.4.4, yes I have messed around flashed to GPE came back; back and forth. You get my point
So here's my question (its a big staged one)
If history is going to repeat itself that means the GPE edition of the G will get the update faster than the
Moto stock G. So if i were to say flash to GPE and keep it like that, the bootloader being unlocked would the Lollipop update work on the GPE or can I lock my bootloader to GPE (keep in mind mine is a XT1033) which i think isn't possible.
Why the concern on GPE and unlocked is cause Lollipop is the going to be the most secure android release and bootloader and secure go hand in hand..
Thanks for any insight/help

I'm afraid that if you have GPe and OTA to Lollipop, maybe you wont be able to flash KitKat, something like that happened when KitKat arrived and people wasnt able to flash Jelly Bean anymore because some things changed inside software. So I think this will happen when Lollipop arrives, some changes in the software will prevent downgrading Android versions. Later on, firmware images of Lollipop will appear and then maybe it will be possible to flash Moto Lollipop but with no more posibility to go back to KitKat.. IMHO I preffer waiting for Moto Lollipop...
And yes.. The Lollipop update is going to work on GPe only if you have stock recovery on it, and you will loose root access since a major system update means all system files being erased and replaced with brand new files, that also means formatting system partition and root files being formatted as well. So if you want, keep GPe but with stock recovery to make the OTA work properly.

Non gpe moto G got update from 4.3 to 4.4.2 faster than gpe one. So we can't say for sure which one will get L first.

[Q] [HELP][QHSUSB_BULK] Moto G HARD BRICKED

Okay so i was running the brazil retail xt1033 stock rom and i eventually got the Lollipop upgrade.I tried rooting the lollipop rom using cf auto root and this resulted in the bricking of my phone. So i flashed GPE rom which was the only one which seemed to be working on the phone and when i was applying OTA 4.4.4 the phone got lhard bricked.pa
I tried this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2623587
and also i tried the MotoFlasher tool
and i got and error saying "error reading packet"
I figured the problem is that These two methods are for moto g only up to 4.4.4 and i think my bootloader was matching the lollipop version so Right now there is nothing i can do,if someone knows how to fix this pls let me know ASAP.

you have to wait for mbm-ci lollipop or someone have to create a singleimage with all the bootloader files.

I have the same problem after downgrade 5.0 to 4.4.3 , i need wait mbm-ci 5.0 too , the only fix is the mbm-ci 5.0 .

No.
There is still no official Motorola 5.0 ROM at all, thus no leaked factory images, thus no chance to find the mbm folder and it's contents eventually.
It will take at least 2-3 months more.

yes, but this is the update that update the bootloader; so, why there isn't the folder or the image of bootloader?
I thougth, if the bootloader becomes corrupt after the downgade to KK from OTA update to Lollipop, there is a way to retrive the files of MBM

Probably not, since the GPe edition has the lollipop more than 1 months so far and the last time, when we switched to kitkat they published the image just in a month. And motorola also published it 20 days after the official update. So keep up, be patient and wait.

GPE is totally non-related.This time we've got a major update that it seems takes time for Motorola to debug.and get it stable for Release.That's probably why we didn't get the motorola update by now, mid of January.
Actually what you`re saying is that once we get the official OTA, we`ll have factory images the next week - NOPE, not at all.Make it at least a month after that moment, if lucky.Also even if factory images get out, its not certain that we`ll get service image leaked anytime soon.... are you getting it now ?

[Q] Sell my moto G but screen is flickering

When my regular moto G was at 4.4.4 I decided to "upgrade" my phone to 5.0.1 GPE. Then, for some reason, I did not want GPE 5.0.1 anymore, so I downgraded to stock 4.4.4 then installed cyanogenmod 5.0.2.
The result is the famous screen flickering - which can be solved by locking/unlocking the screen once.
Now I want to buy a new phone and sell my moto G. I'm wondering how I could get rid of the screen flickering. People will think that the moto G is somewhat damaged and will not buy. Will the screen flickering be gone if I downgrade to stock 4.4.4 again? Or do I have to wait for kernel fix?
Best regards
Martin

Kernel source is out. I personally haven't used it yet but I'm thinking that should solve it.

Ok
Could I just flash that kernel on my phone then? Where can I find it? Thanks for your help, I'm new to this

If an OTA update to 5.0 is available for your phone, flash back to stock and take the OTA update.

Hmm, the OTA will come. Dunno when.
Lets say I do as you suggest, will I get the OTA even if I don't have exactly the same stock image as when i bought the phone? Cause I can only find this (i'm from Sweden):
XT1032_RETAIL-EU_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.4…d7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
You think that would give me the OTA Lollipop when it comes?
Best regards and thanks a ton for your help

I'm not sure, but if it isn't available through OTA, maybe you can find a stock image later.
I flashed my Telus xt1032 back to stock 4.4.4 and it keeps saying my software is up to date, but I know it isn't. It may take time for the Lollipop update to happen.

[GUIDE] Sideloading Nougat on your G4+, from any firmware version. (e.g MPJ24.139-48)

NO PC REQUIRED AT ALL FOR THIS TUTORIAL!
READ ME: I am not responsible for bricked/damaged devices from following this procedure. It should be safe, if done right on the supported models. This does not void your warranty, but it is soak test firmware, meaning that it is beta software, and might have bugs/issues. I haven't noticed any myself, however.
Alright, I am aware that there are already videos describing how to install Nougat, but this is a (fairly) easy to follow text tutorial.
Step 1: Make sure your running the latest Marshmallow.
Before you can install the Nougat update, you have to make sure that you are running the latest Marshmallow firmware for your device. If your phone is running the MPJ24.139-63 firmware, you are good to go. Anything lower, and you will have to update your firmware, either manually, or through the OTA checker.
UPDATE: Download this file and flash it in recovery the same way that you install Nougat, to update to the latest Marshmallow firmware, if you are on anything lower than MPJ24.139-63: https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=mkUs&id=0BzpjDRtfDv8PdER0cml3VzRHZTA
Step 2: Download the Nougat OTA File.
Follow this link to download the Nougat OTA file: http://downloadmirror.co/Uq5/Blur_Version.24.31.64.athene.retail.en.US.zip
Step 3: Boot into Recovery.
You have to boot into recovery to sideload this OTA file. First, power off the device completely. When it is completely powered down, hold the Volume Down button, and then the power button, not letting go of either button, until an Android appears, with a bunch of text. You are now in Fastboot Mode. Press the Volume Down button until you see Recovery Mode, then hit the power button.
Step 4: Install.
Once you are in Recovery, you may see an Android logo again, with the text "No Command" below it. What you need to do here is hold the power button, and whilst holding the power button, press Volume Up, to access the menu. It is easy from here. You need to select the option to install update from SD Card, using the Volume buttons for navigation, and Power to select. From there, you find where you downloaded the BLUR_VERSION.24.31.64.ATHENE.RETAIL.EN.US.ZIP file, and select it. It will start installing the official Nougat OTA. Give it some time, upwards of 15 minutes to install. Once it has complete, simply select the Reboot system now option, and if all went well, you should see the "Android is upgrading" screen, and now you are running official Nougat soak test on your G4.
NOTES - The install may hang on the "Patching system image after verification." message. Give it around 5-10 minutes, it will eventually pass that stage.
I can't guarantee that this method will work on all G4 variants. I can confirm it works on a UK Retail XT1622, however.
This may make it harder to install the stable official Nougat when that releases worldwide, I am not sure yet if it affects the upgrade path to the stable firmware.
KNOWN ISSUES
I actually have not found any issues with this firmware yet, it appears VERY stable for a soak test build. If you have come across any, or need help, comment below.
COMPATIBLE MODELS
These models have said to have had success with this update.
XT1643 - Moto G4 Plus Dual-SIM (India)
XT1640 - Moto G4 Plus Dual-SIM (Brazil)
XT1642 - Moto G4 Plus
XT1622 - Moto G4
XT1626 - Moto G4 (India)

@LoopingCreeper is your 1622 a single sim? I have a 1622 single sim from tesco and I haven't received the 6.0.1 ota to 139-63 probably cause I'm not on the retgb software channel. Did you get the ota pushed to your phone ?

when i try to apply update from SD, m getting error 'internal and extenal memory not found'..i tried mounting SD card but i am still geting this error. how to resolve this error?
Is there any other way to install this update on my device.

I am from Brazil and am currently using 139-50 version of firmware...
I cant update to 139-63 with the method describe, when trying to update the zip file to MM 63 i get a message saying that expected version should be 139-23.
Anyway to upgrade to 139-63 from 139-50? No ota available.
Thanks guys

Actually, according to motorola, the first part is not true. Flashing an ota zip file will void your warranty. That is the official motorola answer. Especially for unreleased software.
You may not like it or agree, but they have stated this many times in the past
I prefer to wait for the final version.

I cannot upgrade to the latest MM. It asks me for the firmware version 139-23.4 and I'm on 23.2 (XT1641, retca). is there another package to upgrade? Thanks.

Any loss of data?
Do I really have to take a backup.. and can we install it from twrp?

Should I be concerned if it's on "Verifying update package..." for well over 30 minutes?

Okay. I can now confirm that it works on XT1644 [US]. I'll upload screenshots later.

All the screenshots I took when my G4 Plus got into Nougat from side loading. So far, no bugs and it's extremely smooth. No lag or performance issues so far.
EDIT: I have more screenshots. If you want em, tell me and I'll post it. These are the last screenshots you'll see of the Stock Rom from me, I'm going to Resurrection Remix.
