My Moto G dual BR has locked bootloader but gives error when I'm installing the kitkat update via OTA. What I have to do?
Hi. So i updated my converted XT1032 GPE to Lollipop and now i want to root it. I have checked out the Chainfire threads but i am rather dubious if it will work on GPE. Has anyone rooted GPE on 5.0.1? Is it possible to flash the Philz recovery i had on 4.4.4 and root it by flashing a supersu zip? Any help will be appreciated.
I recently converted my xt1033 to gpe on 4.4.2 and then did an OTA update of 4.4.4. I am recently downloading 5.0.1 OTA and now question is that if I did that OTA upgrade, will I be able to revert back to the stock xt1033 ROM or stock gpe or even any custom Roms? I am reading these forums that if I do straight OTA update to 5.0.1 of a gpe converted device, I would brick my device so the correct way to update would be to download and sideload the OTA zip.
I am really confused right now. Please someone reply. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have two Moto G 2013 XT1033 Dual Sim and for both of them - i dont care about losing data and reinstalling - I want to get to a 100% STOCK 5.0.2 state. Dont need root or customer boot.
No 1) Upgraded from 5.0.1 Soak Test Brazil - 220.21.25.falcon_umtsds.Brasil.en.BR, no root, stock bootloader > to 5.0.2 using the incremental ZIP that was provided in some of the recent posts here.
Will I be getting automatic OTAs from now on? Is this equivalent to stock flashing 4.4.4. an then OTAing up to 5.0.2?
No 2) Optimized non-stock firmware 4.4.4, with bloatware reduced etc. dont remember who made the ROM - also Retail, but bootloader unlocked and have root
What is the best approach to this one to a stock 5.0.2, no-root, locked bootloader, is there just a single binary stock 5.0.2 file that I can flash?
Should I downgrade both to 4.4.4 Stock and then upgrade via OTA?
I know for (1) there exists an incremental update, how safe is this?
For (2) the OTA arrived, but as its an optimized ROM the update does not work.
I know all the information is somewhere here, I just was confused what path is safe and if its not possible to simply flash some binary recovery (ideally already to 5.0.2)
I think you should back to 4.4.4 than upgrade to 5.0.2
For back to stock 4.4.4 you can use this

One of my malware protection tools rejected the untouched brazil 4.4.4 download. Where do I find the original files and confirmed hashes?
My moto g has been hard bricked after upgrading to 4.4.4 via ota from 4.4.3. I was on cm12 but I wanted to flash back to stock 4.4.3 so I did but later I wanted to update it 5.0 but I got 4.4.4 prompt so did it anyway. After that I couldnt turn on my phone and couldnt use the MBM-CI for my updated bootloader so my question is when will mbm-ci files for 5.0 will get released?
