[Q] Help to install GPE

Hi guys!
I want to install GPE, but i´m worried because some people are getting stuck at bootloop. My Moto G is rooted and runs on 4.3, how should i proceed?

for 1032xt should be easy
unlock bootloader
update to motorola 442
convert to gpe with any method, maybe flashing manually via adb fastboot, or using the tool in android original development 2.4
ready
moto g is a very easy to recover phone like any nexus

I'm not able to receive OTAs anymore. Is there a flashable zip of stock 4.4.2 for xt1032? Or a method by fastboot that it's not necessary to era se user data?

Revert back to GPE

Hello,
I have a motorola g GPE and I think about flashing another custom rom. But I wonder it is possible to get back to the GPE again?
I mean that I can lock my bootloader again. As I read on the forum, there is a system dump of moto g gpe but it is not singed so it is not possible to lock the botloader on this rom.
Is it possible to backup all the partitions using fastboot? Like not only the system?

Oh, I have missed that link to the image. Thanks.
EDIT: Is it possible to flash Motorola firmware onto Google play edition moto g? I could not find any information about that, everything what I found was related to how to convert regular moto g to gpe.

[Q] is it safe ?

I have converted my moto g to gpe. I've literally love the speed of 5.1 and can't go back.. Since all ROMs for 5.1 are buggy(at least for me) I've decided to try official ota gpe. I know I should revert back to stock kitkat gpe which is easy but I'm afraid the ota update for lollipop might brick my device since it's not gpe and that it already has lollipop bootloader from dual sim moto g. Is it possible to do this without running into fatal issues ?

It's not worth the risk. Moto G is getting old now, if you brick; there might not be a firmware image to get you out of it. I will create a flashable zip when a TWRP backup is available.

alright then, i will wait for a stable lollipop 5.1 build. Thanks !

YOu can flash the 4.4.4 firmware and OTA it to 5.0.1
but if u flash 4.42 firmware,ur phone will be hard bricked
So whats u have to do is
flash 4.4.4---->flash 5.0.1---->flash 5.1
voila

[Q] CM12.1 to stock 5.1 (XT1039 Peregrine)

Hello guys, I have the XT1039 version of Moto G, which comes with LTE, microSD, and all that stuff. I just noticed we have stock 5.1 and I'd like to install it, but I'm kinda confused. I'm using CM12.1, and obviously, the bootloader is unlocked (it's 4.4.4 bootloader).
So what am I supposed to do? Just install Lollipop via ADB? Would the new 5.1 bootloader replace the old one and relock it? (I don't like the idea of having it unlocked if I'm not using a Custom Recovery or ROM.)
Or should I install stock 4.4.4 and then update it via OTA? Would that also relock the bootloader? I'm so confused.
What should I do, and which commands do I need to use?
I'd enjoy some help. Thank you.

Downgrade to kitkat with custom recovery?

Hi, i have a first gen of moto g with lollipop 5.0.2 with root and custom recovery and i want to downgrade to kitkat 4.4.4. I need the stock recovery and unroot to do it or simply flash kitkat?
Sorry for my english.

Flash KitKat it will be clearing everything then if you need Root access flash the SuperSU via an recovery which I believe you Know to flash.
