[Q] Advice, urgent

Okay so my moto g is on lolipop gpe converted, but i want to go back stock. i know how to flash it and stuff but is there a chance i can brick it due to bootloader differences or anything? like how do i go about this do i need 4.4.4 or is 4.4.2 ok? thanks. *URGENT*

To be safe, flash a 4.4.4 ROM but don't flash motoboot.img even if you don't have the 41.18 bootloader.
I was able to flash my xt1032 with the 41.18 bootloader back to stock Telus 4.4.4. I was even able to flash stock US Retail 4.4.4. I never tried 4.4.2 and I never flashed motoboot.img.

how do i know if its 4.4.4 or 4.4.2??

You'll have to look at the Moto g firmware names. Sometimes, you have to guess. It;s important because you want to ensure that the modem in your phone supports the ROM and carrier.
Do you have the xt1032 (i.e. falcon)?

yeah mate thats the one

What bootloader is on your phone? If you have the 41.18, you'll experience the ripple effect on your phone until you lock/unlock your phone using the lockscreen.

Bricked Moto G, Don't Know What to do

I wanted Lollipop on my Moto G, so I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. I attempted to flash CM12, and it is stuck in a bootloop. I want to go back to stock now, but I can't because my PC won't recognize my phone in fastboot anymore. I'm freaking out here, please help! I feel really stupid and should've waited for the official OTA!
Moto G XT1034 (US GSM)

Did you do a full wipe before booting CM12?

I fixed the issue. I use mfastboot and flashed the stock firmware. And yes, I did use a full wipe, I've read people online having issues and apparently the correct way to flash CM12 is to flash CM11 first.

Yeah, if you directly flash cm12 over stock bootloop occurs.Clean Flashing cm11 first and then dirty flash cm12 over that solves the issue.

[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.

[Q&A] Wrong Bootlader upgrade

Hi,
I've made a huge mistake :
I upgrade my moto g 4g peregrine phone (european version so I guess XT1039) with a XT1032 bootloader from 41.13 to 41.18.
I don't have any problem with the phone which seems to be working fine (I just can't install the last cyanogen rom).
What should I do, try to install the XT1039 bootloader 41.18 version ?
Thanks you for advices and any help

There are a number of different approaches. Simply flashing the correct Bootloader may be enough, or it could fail and hard-brick the phone. Then you would be in a worse situation.
If you want to avoid touching the Bootloader for now, try flashing one of these zips in TWRP:
[ROM][5.1][STOCK][FLASHABLE ZIP] Stock Motorola 4G Lollipop ROM Collection​

Yes you can flash the OTA update without any issues. Considering your bootloader is 41.18 you wont be having any trouble and obviously since you clean flashed 5.0.2 surely your bootloader must have updated itself automatically
