[Q&A] Wrong Bootlader upgrade - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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:

Cant. Tried flashing again dual sim br and then the ota but i get ' Installation aborted ' everytime.....
It sounds like your Bootloader has been updated so you can no longer boot the KitKat kernel. Can you please state what version your Bootloader is now?
For example mine is: 41.13
This weekend I will try to build a Stock ROM based on Retail DS BR Lolliopop. That should get your phone back, as long as you have a custom Recovery installed.
Perhaps you could try to flash the full latest 4.4.4 Brazil rom; the OTA update to Lollipop might work on this one. Just not sure if it is safe to revert to an older bootloader on Moto G, never tried this myself.
If this doesn´t work or you don´t want to try, you will need someone to upload a full 5.0 ROM and look for a backup phone until then
My bootloader ver. is 41.18
i've tried reflashing br dual sim version and then the 5.0 ota. But it doesnt work.

Upgrading XT1032 bootloader

Hi all,
I just tried to upgrade my old CyanogenMod from January to a recent nightly and got hit by an error caused by my old KK bootloader (http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...uently-questions-t2996087/page24#post59520890). The guy in that thread offers a supposedly official Brazilian Lollipop bootloader, but I'm a bit hesitant 1) downloading something like that from unknown origin on the net and 2) I have a UK XT1032 (I think it was unbranded, bought in Tesco), not Brazilian. So what are my options?
Can I get the official bootloader from Motorola, by downgrading to 4.4.4 and then get the OTA? Or is it not available yet for my phone?
If I were to do that, can I unlock/root the phone again and get a custom ROM or is there no unlock yet for the Moto stock LP stuff?
What are my options, besides staying on my January CM ROM?
Thank you very much for any input!
You could manually flash the GB 4.4.4 stock ROM for the xt1032, update apps, take the 5.02 OTA update, and be running a Lollipop bootloader.
I just flash manually stock 5.0.2

Which version do you recommend for the xt1032?
Or, if you're skilled enough, just manually fastboot flash the tz, rpm, sdi, aboot and sbl1 partitions extracted from any 5.0.x OTA package for XT1032. I did the procedure on my 1031 (with corresponding files for the 1031, of course) and it worked nicely.

That sounds like a good plan. So
1) GB 5.02 OTA is already out for all XT1032 devices? I read somewhere else we're still waiting?
2) Is my phone still unlocked after this, i.e. can I install a custom recovery, root etc. and custom roms afterwards?
Thanks =)
The 5.02 OTA for GB ROM has been released from what I have read.
Once the phone is sim and bootloader unlocked, flashing ROMs, recoveries, etc. will not relock the bootloader or sim lock the phone.

That's great to know! My worries was about that flashing the bootloader could result in a newly locked one. Thank you very much!

Xt1033's latest bootloader is 41.18 and not 41.19
Use fastboot for flashing bootloader
BE CAREFUL
IF BOOTLOADER DIES YOUR PHONE DIES

Downgrading Bootloader From Lollipop to Kitkat

Is it possible to downgrade the bootloader for my moto g from lollipop to a KitKat compatible version?
The mobile radio active bug is draining my battery quite badly and I want to go back to KitKat to get rid of it.
I'm on the using the XT1032
It's completely unnecessary to even touch the Bootloader. Every time you do anything with it, you risk destroying your phone.
Simply flash the Factory Firmware Image from here: (excluding the command to flash motoboot.img (Bootloader))
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/index-moto-g-falcon-factory-firmware-t3110795​
Or flash one of these zips via Custom Recovery (TWRP):
