Hey there!!
I'm a newbie, would appreciate your help very much. Long ago I had rooted my Milestone 2 and installed a Cyanogen. But that was long ago and now I'm overwhelmed with so much information on this forum.
I've got a Moto G (2013), Dual Sim XT1033, bought in Brazil.
Update to Lollipop 5.0 has been one of the worst decisions, it works VERY badly now.
I wanted to get a new ROM. (Cyanogen 12? but I saw on their webpage my device is not supported, it also gave me that message when I tried to install thei apk)
It can be that or another popular one. The thing is that I dont know how to do it, and FAQs and walkthroughs assume I know a lot of concepts which I dont (like the difference between rooting and flashing my device) and procedures I am not aqcuainted with.
Please, has anyone got a starting guide? About flashing/rooting (?) my motoG and how to install (and which do you recommend?) the rom without much technical vocab..
Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Moto G- first you have to unlock the bootloader then root your phone then flash a custom recovery then you can flash a rom of your choice ( i recommend the stock optimized lollipop, has great battery life :good: - forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510
Does steps for unlocking bootloader and rooting is same even after updating to 5.0.2, I mean same as steps that are available for moto G android 4.4.2 ?
I have moto G (1st Gen) bought in India updated to 5.0.2
Thanks in advance

Hello guys.
I'm considering to buy this phone since it packs some great hardware, it looks great, it has a big battery and now has official CM support! :laugh:
(I lost my Xperia T a couple of weeks ago so now I am looking for its replacement)
Given the various versions (Verizon, global, developer edition), I am wondering if somebody could show me which threads are related to rooting the European version (Razr HD), changing the recovery and installing CM?
Thanks a lot.
I have some experience installing custom software to my devices (LG Optimus One, LG Optimus 2X, HP Touchpad and Huawei Mediapad), but Motorola is not know to be very developer-friendly, so I would like to check how it works before I do buy the phone.
Thanks in advance.
This guide should help:

Follow their link to the Motorola unlock tool and make sure you have the correct drivers. Once you have the bootloader unlocked, you can push a custom recovery in fastboot, then flash SU binaries, ROMs, and whatever else you want.
EDIT: Whoops, missed the part where you said you don't actually have the phone yet. Well, in my opinion it's still a pretty simple process if you've flashed custom software on your previous devices.
Thanks a lot.

I haven't seen one. Lowest android is 5.1
Sent from Moto G Osprey
That is almost in possible.. But im not an expert.
Even Moto G (2013) cannot boot Jelly Bean if the Bootloader has been updated. This is due to changes to the Kernel, and how it, and Bootloader interrelate. In theory, a custom Kernel by a skilled Dev might make it possible.
Hello everyone,
I am wondering if there is any confirmed source, the way, to update my Lg g pro 2 to the 6.0 marshmallow ? I found many sites with "working, no bugs" versions but Im little bit worry about to use it in my phone. My device is not rooted, it is not branded, just clean lg soft version 32gb.
Can anybody show me proper checked source to update my phone ? Is it possible without flashing ? If I have to flash it then no problem I just need a tip, step by step what to do, where do I have to click, what kind of tools do I have to use etc.
I'm kinda new fish in this pool so, try to help me instead of laughing at me, Thank you.
Those are spam sites.if update comes xda will be the first to know and hoping custom 6.0 will be out
Hi all, one of my first posts here. I bought a Moto G 2nd (Brazilian) Edition recently, but I want to wipe the OS and put on the latest GB iteration on it. Any idea where I can find the stock ROMS for the Moto G 2nd edition? And what's the latest (best) way to root the Moto G 2nd edition? Sorry if these are rather fundamental questions but I'm a bit out of the loop with all this stuff.
TIA
Ok, so I've managed to find the stock ROMs. But I'm a bit confused about a few things:
1. I know downgrading can be a big no no, but what about flashing a ROM that is the same version? All I really want to do is replace the BR (Brazilian version) with the GB (Great Britain) version of firmware, is this easily achieved?
2. What's the best way to flash the moto? I always see a myriad of ways of flashing, either with CMD scripts or sometimes ready-to-use apps...just wondering whether or not there is a "standard go-to" way of flashing the moto?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I recently updated from Android 11 to 12 and I want to go back (reasons). I have a Moto G31 bought in the Philippines.
My question is mainly about stock roms if I were to flash the firmware:
- Would I be able to get it to be identical to when I bought the phone? i.e all the same few preinstalled Moto apps and it would still go through all the normal Moto updates again?
- Would the warranty (according to the device itself) be intact? also, in other words, would the phone itself know it was different from when I first bought it?
- Would a stock rom from say Brazil be different to the one I should have on my Phillippines model (assuming they both have the exact same version number RRWB31.Q3-46-85)?
Thank you in advance for any replies
You are not the only one wanting to go back. I have found the correct ROM for me (eu) but not the correct instructions. The Lenovo forum has several pages in the thread for Android 12 problems on the G31 and people are pretty upset. There is another thread here too asking for help on rolling back the ROM, and I hope someone here on XDA who is knowledgeable can help.
