Does anyone have a flash-able zip or something for the Moto G LTE lollipop boot-loader. Other people's devices are working fine but mine has a weird horizontal line that indicates that my boot-loader isn't compatible with the ROM I'm running (android 5.1). Does the Moto G 2013 (No LTE) bootloader work on the LTE version? If it does work, is there anything it isn't comparable with? I'm willing to use fastboot or adb or whatever it takes to get the bootloader on there.

The Lollipop Bootloader for 4G / LTE Moto G will be included in the Lollipop OTA update arriving shortly. When a factory firmware image is available, that will also include the file motoboot.img - which can be flashed independently via fastboot.
I would strongly advise against flashing the non-LTE Bootloader on your phone. Messing around with Bootloaders is extremely dangerous; many people have have had to learn this the hard way and now have ruined phones.
Will flashing the ota update bootloader on a different version of the moto g lte (us cellular) have any affect

Hello,
For the better part of this evening I have been trying to flash Telus Moto G with a different ROM. I even unlocked the bootloader, but to no avail.
I keep getting the following errors when trying to flash bootloader, recovery and system:
hab check failed for boot
hab check failed for recovery
invalid PIV signed system image
(when trying to flash a ROM with three sparsechunks, sparsechunk.0 gives the error, two remaining flash correctly, the phone boots, but the phone is unusable (most of the menus and stuff is just not there)
I have tried GPE, same thing (wouldn't even boot).
Only thing that always works is flashing Telus firmware.
Is there ANY way to bypass this limitation?
Please help me!
same for me bro. I tried US retail and it didnt work. I didnt unlock bootloader so I went back to the telus one.
I dont get why you cant get it in if you unlock bootloader
anyways, I doubt there is a difference between these stock rooms. just saying..
There is a fundamental difference in that Telus version only has a few system languages, and doesn't have the ones I need.
could you root it, install cwm and than install custom rom?
Yes, I've finally managed to flash CWM and Cyanogenmod. Thanks for the tips!

Sweet! Good to hear.
Anyone found a way to install non-Telus stock FW or GPE on a Telus Moto G in the meantime? It appears Moto G losdt CM support, so I would like to get back to stock - but Telus version is not acceptable.

I've tried flashing the US and GB retail with no success. The result of the effort was a loss of radio antenna with no network connection. Flashing the Telus firmware repaired the antenna issue with no errors when flashing all the files. The issue seems to be the bootloader and leaves me wondering if it needs to be unlocked. I'm not desperate to have a retail version that I'm willing to void the warranty by unlocking the bootloader.
Edit: Decided to return the phone.
I picked up a Consumer Celluar Moto G phone yesterday.
Following the guide on this site I flashed it to a stock android rom Android 4.4.3 Blur_Version.210.12.32.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US.
Phone updated to 4.4.4 over wifi
Then I put in my AT&T sim, unlocked it through a code on eBay, and it's not picking up any signal from AT&T.
I tried to flash it again with a different rom but it failed on the first step.
Is there any way to save this phone?
I flashed it with a differerent ROM and there was no change.
Hey guys, I ordered a boost mobile Moto G and it's arriving in a few days. I was wondering how would I go about converting it to GPE, and what does it entail? For example does conversion allow it to function correctly with working wifi, and to receive OTA updates directly from google, or would i have to manually flash lollipop roms for boost?
The first step is unlocking the bootloader which will void your warranty!
I am not sure if its possible to convert to GPE firmware with the Boost model.
I've tried to flash gpe on my xt1031, afterwards radio (calls, data, etc) weren't functioning, no matter what radio or baseband I flashed. It only worked once I went back to the stock boost ROM.
I've been searching for a way to do it for months, and have had little success.

Be thankful and grateful that you can unlock your bootloader, root, flash a custom recovery and flash roms. I had the xt1028 Verizon prepaid and none of that is possible if you're on 4.4.4 which my phone came with preinstalled. Phone is not eligible for bootloader unlock.

You can't flash any gpe rom on the boost variant if you use the radio. I've tried flashing modems but it just doesn't work with gpe on boost.

I would like to second that. Based on all of the posts I have read (a lot!) the gpe version is for gsm phones and won't work on cdma (boost).
First of all, I have the AIO moto G, i cant figure out which model number It is (XT____).

Second, since it was AIO, and is now on Cricket, because they changed the branding or whatever, I havent got any system updates, and I think the cricket version even got up to 4.4.4, but im not positive.
Ideally, I'd like maybe the AT&T lollipop rom if that exists, or some way that i could get future updates, even GPe would probably be ok. I am switching back to AT&T shortly.
Thanks a bunch.
Hi,
It looks like someone was able to get temporary root on carrier version of XT1045 (Moto G) LTE, but no instruction have been documented. I would appreciate if someone would document this. All the HOW-TOs root so far require bootloader unlocked, which is not possible with carrier version of XT1045 (Moto G) LTE from AT&T/Cricket.
I am OK with temporary root as I plan to use this to de-bloat carrier loaded stuffs from system partition.
Thanks.
