[GUIDE] Convert any Moto G into a GPE with root and custom recovery

'Morning, 'afternoon and 'night.
I saw some XT1033 (some XT1032 too) users having problems with the latest unified roms (falcon ones) and decided to help them. I already did a guide like this in a brazilian Android forum, so, I'm only translating it. Hope it can be helpful to XDA.
-- First, thanks to ffosilva. Without his "semi-official" firmware, this guide couldn't exist.
| PRE-REQUISITES
- You need to have bootloader unlocked.
- Google Play Edition rom - Google Drive
- Google Play Edition rom - MediaFire
- mfastboot
- Minimal ADB & Fastboot
- Motorola Device Manager (Drivers)
1 - Alright. First of all, install Minimal ADB & Fastboot in C:\, to keep things easy. After, extract Google Play Edition.tgz inside its folder with mfastboot.
2 - Turn off your Moto G and put it on Bootloader mode by pressing power + vol. down for a few seconds.
3 - Plug it in PC and verify if it is connected.
4 - Open cmd.exe and do this command: cd C:\Minimal ADB & Fastboot or the folder you've installed it.
5 - After, copy these commands and paste them. On the third one, cmd will crash, just wait your Moto G reboot and close the warning.
Code:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
mfastboot continue
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg_intl.img
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
| If you live in USA, do these last commands instead:
Code:
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg_gpe.img
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
| And after checking if all the commands returned an OKAY, do
Code:
mfastboot reboot
| To flash any custom recovery, download CWM or TWRP (thanks to Dhacker29!), put it inside of Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder, launch cmd.exe doing "cd" in folder and do:
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery filename.img
| After, just flash SuperSU from recovery to get root. (thanks chainfire!)
| THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE. INCLUDING INTERNAL STORAGE.
| THIS WILL ALLOW XT1033 TO INSTALL falcon ROMS WITH ONLY ONE SIM WORKING
| NOW YOUR DEVICE HAS EXT4 STORAGE, SOME TWEAKS WON'T WORK
| AND SORRY FOR ANY GRAMMAR ERRORS
-------------------
REVERSE GUIDE
| Use this guide if you failed with first one or want to go back to stock rom.
| Install Minimal ADB & Fastboot again in another folder to avoid conflicts and download here (thanks to droid-developers) your respective stock rom. Extract it inside the folder.
| After, just re-do steps 2, 3 and 4 from above.
| Step 5 you'll run with these commands below. On the third one, cmd will crash, just wait your Moto G reboot and close the warning.
| I'm not sure if system partitions are the same for ALL roms at sbf.droid-developers. Some will have sparsechunk.1, 2 and 3. Verify that before running the commands!
Code:
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot.exe reboot-bootloader
mfastboot.exe continue
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot.exe erase cache
mfastboot.exe erase userdata
mfastboot.exe reboot

These are ignorable errors. I always get them when flashing this rom but never had problems.

Hi,
I have a question regarding the ROM linked in the thread. Is this the official ROM or is this a modified version? So if I install this ROM on my XT1032, will it get the updates directly OTA from Google?
Thanks

It may get ota unless you alter the system with custom recovery or root it.

No one knows because there is no OTA for test this. But I believe it will receive because it was made of the system-pull of original GPE Moto G.

Once I do this, how do I get back to non-gpe?

Download your stock rom here and flash it with a flashall.bat that is inside the zip of each rom there. Or you can do manually. It's the same thing of those commands above, just change archive's names. Some will have system.img divided into three parts, so, flash in the sequence.

noob question?
this may be a really noobish question but how do i extract "Google Play Edition - falcon.tgz"
everytime i run mfastboot it closes.

Use WinRAR to do so. You can't run mfastboot. Run "cmd.exe" and follow the guide. You have to cd a workspace.

I got it to work, my problem was i was expecting the entire folder not a .tar image.
I then realized that i had to extract the tar file and use 7zip or winrar to extract all the files out of that one. Fileception if you will.
Thanks again for writing this tutorial.

Sounds like you don't have mfastboot.exe in the same folder as the files you are trying to flash. Make sure you have downloaded and extracted THIS package to the same folder as the firmware you're flashing.

hi finish i put fastboot in working until now i get this error
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2 max sparse size 256 error cannot load system image
thanks for your help on this one

Confirm that you are inputing the correct filenames. For example my first system chunkfile number was zero, and maybe it had a dot before the number.

There is an XT1032 Global GSM 4.4.4 firmware image now available:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54365926&postcount=292​
It's intended for Retail Brasil, but should work anywhere.

Your are a Legend thank you very much it worked Now I will be able to get the 4.4.4 update because i had a touch to retry error before.
Much appreciated Finish Flash

One quick question Ive noticed I dont have superuser do I needed to do that all again after i upgrade to 4.4.4?
cheers

To avoid possible problems with upgrading process, first upgrade and then re-root.

ok thanks
Did that last process make my bootloader locked again? It was so long ago cant remember how I unlocked bootloader and rooted

No, bootloader is still unlocked.
Rooting method described here might be the easiest:

Whats the most up to date method for unrooting?

I only just rooted my wife's Moto G a couple of nights ago as I was going to install the Brazilian lollipop version but thought better of it. Now the official update and I can't install it for her, even though it has stock recovery and stock 4.4.4, so I take it its because the su payload is still installed.
So what's the best way to unroot? Surely all that manually installing each part separately crap is totally out of date?

faster and without problems- reflash current rom

Balls. So I did what was suggested on here, copied the 4.4.4 file to the internal memory, wiped the phone and the zip won't install in twrp. What do I do now?

You need stock recovery and no root. Then you need to flash the stock firmware with fastboot. It's a simple process that I've done a few times. I'm on my phone right now and don't have time to provide a link, but search the forum for flash stock firmware.

Copy your brain to internal memory... you read any tutorial? so many... go and read, but be carefull to not broke your device

The stock xml.zip file needs to be unzipped and each partition needs to be flashed using fastboot or mfastboot commands.
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
You may get a prevalidation error when trying to flash motoboot.img. If you do, just skip it.
When flashing the sparsechunk files, change the name to match the sparsechunk files in the zip.

[Solved] Stuck at bootlogo no matter what rom I flash

Hi everyone,
I follow this awesome forum for several years now. Unfortunately, I currently have a problem which I do not get solved on my own and hope for your support:
My xt1032 (non GPE, non LTE) is stuck at bootlogo no matter what rom I flash! :crying:
Background:
Some time ago I successfully converted my device to the GPE edition using MotoTool. After Lollipop was finalized and penetrated me to update, I did him the favor. As some apps were no longer compatible, I restored my nandroid backup and lived with the ongoing update message.
Now that I leave the device to my wife, I'm trying to flash a factory image of desirably 5.1 GPE.
First I tried to flash GPE_5.1_XT1032_LMY47M.M001_CFC.xml.zip using fastboot:
Code:
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot.exe erase cache
mfastboot.exe erase userdata
mfastboot.exe reboot
... stuck in Google bootlogo.
Then I tried to flash XT1032_FALCON-RETEU_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28.1_1_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip also using fastboot:
Code:
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot.exe erase cache
mfastboot.exe erase userdata
mfastboot.exe reboot
.. stuck in Motorola unlocked bootloader warning.
I also tried to flash GPE_XT1032_KTU84P.M003_CFC.xml.zip again using fastboot:
Code:
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot.exe erase cache
mfastboot.exe erase userdata
mfastboot.exe reboot
.. stuck in Google bootlogo again.
I even tried to 'convert to GPE' in MotoTool as I did before using the same image as it was then. Unfortunately with the same result...
I'm a bit desperate right now! My research into threads with similar problems have led to no result. Solutions like flashing gptfix.bin didn't to the trick. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone point me to the right direction please?
Thanks in advance!
*nikon

*push*
I tried this and that in the meantime... all I get are bootscreens in multiple versions. After all I still have fastboot access.
My wife is getting nervous and so am I! Do I have a brick now?
Thanks in advance!
*nikon

I'm gonna make an educated guess its probably formation the GPE-rom uses ext4 in /data and the motorala uses F2FS (those are linux file-systems). GPE doesn't work with F2FS and Moto doesn't work with EXT4.
And assuming you use the TWRP as your recovery? If not install it with Mototools or fastboot to recover your phone (I'm not 100% sure if this is the only method but is the only method I can think of).
Step 1) Download the right recovery from this thread. If you want GPE-rom download GPE otherwise download falcon. Instructions are given in this thread.
Step 2) Start your recovery via fastboot and than choose recovery (use sound button down to scroll, up to select). If everything is allright your booting to a recovery menu with touchbuttons.
Step 3) Choose wipe -->> Advanced wipe -->> select data -->> Repair or Change File System -->> Choose F2FS or Ext4 depending on your choose for moto (F2FS) or an GPE rom. (Ext4). Repeat this steps for /system and /cache.
Step 4) Do a factory reset just to be sure (not sure if necessary, better safe than sorry)
Step 5) Flash your rom of choose
Step 6) Report back to me when succeeded if not report back with more information.
I like this thread its friendly and much information is given and your seem very polite (Learn from this man you screamy panicking kids). There is how ever some essential information missing.
-Which recovery did you use?
-What is your bootloader version?
-From which rom are you coming?
P.s. I never used Fastboot to flash an complete rom only for recovery's (except for my oldskool G1, but that was long ago). I like flashing via recovery most roms are tested and made for flashing via TWRP or CWMR (mostly specified from dev).
P.s.s. I tried my best English! Its not my first language.

@*nikon - provide a fastboot log of the entire flashing process. I want to see any message fastboot is presenting.
Also, you do not need to change the format of /data manually - flashing the gpt.bin does that automatically.
EDIT: Using TWRP to flash a custom ROM is much safer than flashing fastboot images. A flashable GPE 5.1 ROM is available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510

Shortly beforehand: thanks a lot for your responses! Very nice to have some feedback!
After being quite busy this weekend, I now have the time to dig into this again.
@Xacky: My apologies for the missing information.
I've tried different recoveries, mainly stock recovery or TWRP depending on my current flash try. Thank you that you have pointed out to me on the recovery thread where I became aware of the GPE edition of TWRP. I'll take this one in the future if I get this hopefully running sometime.
My current bootloader version is 41.18 because last time I tried to downgrade again to 4.4.4. But I also had version 41.19 running with my Lollipop tries.
Concerning the rom I was coming from, I thought my description was relatively detailed. The original was a (NON-GPE) Moto rom, upgraded to 4.4.4 GPE by Moto Tool, then OTA upgraded some time to 5.0.1, downgraded by naindroid backup restore and then tried to flash a 5.1 GPE factory image via fastboot. Then the journey began...
@lost101: Thanks for the information that the format is no issue since it is defined by gpt.bin. I'll give the images from your thread a try and get back in when my battery is ready for flashing again. I also try to save a log which I can post here, if necessary by hand.

*nikon

I'm back with good news! :victory:
Unfortunately I still don't know what the problem was (and I really can't stand this!!), but it seems to be solved. I successfully managed to downgrade to 4.4.4 with the image from this thread and then I was able to flash GPE 5.1 as stated in this tutorial.
Afterall kind of weird because I am firm conviction that I've not done anything else manually in the beginning.
Nonetheless, thanks for listening!

Hey Nikon,
I'm running into the same issue as you. My only question is: is there still screen flickering once you've updated to 5.1? thx

Hey pables69,
sry for beeing late - I was quiet busy the last few days.
To answer your question:
No, fortunately screen flickering is also gone since the upgrade! :good:

Screenshots attached!!
I tried every....... every possible thing, tried reverting back to 5.0.2 & 4.4.4. But it just doesn't work!! RECOVERY gets stuck at TWRP logo!!
It shows everything as success success on fastboot mode while flashing (STOCK, RECOVERY, Anything......) but when it boots up there is nothing changed even the bootlogo is still the same.
No error of any sort comes up!!
Tried everything, tried flashing gpt.bin, reflashed bootloader, even tried flashing STOCK using RsD Lite but nothing happens, as if nothing was flashed!!
When left for a while it boots up(After showing AICP is Upgrading 3 exact times), just to give me a screen where it asks to put my password to Reset The Device(Screenshot attached), & whatever i put there as my password it accepts it & shows DECRYPTION SUCCESSFUL, PRESS OK TO REBOOT UR DEVICE, when pressed, it takes me to my RECOVERY where it gets stuck at TWRP logo!!
Is there any hope left or is my moto g gone forever!! Please someone help me!! I m not ale to sleep from 2 days......!! :crying: :crying:

Quick question: how many times do you flashed a ROM on your Moto G ? It seems that your eMMC flash storage is dying.

You can try one more thing: flash the files with mfastboot instead of fastboot but I don't think that it will work

Was that log from flashing the 5.0.2 firmware image?

That is why you got the error with gpt.bin. Flash the 5.0.2 firmware if you still have issues.

Your system partition has become read-only. This is a known symptom of Bootloader corruption.
Search XDA for potential solutions, but ultimately you may have to wait for the Lollipop Bootloader 'unbrick' method to arrive.

That guide will not work if you have the Lollipop Bootloader - v41.18. In the future, hopefully the newer Bootloader will be supported.

Hello, @lost101 I was willing to know which of the above commands should be used if I want to flash stock ROM on my MOTO G xt1033 without my internal data being harmed? My Moto G is rooted. I have access only to bootloader and fastboot. Phone is in bootloop as well the the recovery isn't moving ahead of the TWRP logo. I tried flashing different verisons of TWRP even I tried ADB as well but my device isn't detected in command "adb devices" though in command "fastboot devices" it is detected. Please help me out.
I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/moto-g-bootup-problem-recovery-mode-t3122492 from starting to end. My problem is somehow same with @ravibhat but his phone was on stock ROM and mine is not.
I was on LOLLIPOP (don't remember the exact version 5.0.2 or 5.1 or whatever) with Tesla ROM.

@sahil_arora05 - Please don't post about the same problem in multiple threads. fastboot erase userdata will make TWRP work again, however it will also wipe internal data. Try booting into stock recovery, enabling ADB sideloading and using the following command:
adb pull /sdcard​
