Hello Guys,
Hope you are all doing good well.
I am just curious about new Moto G 3rd Gen.
Are there any hidden features which should we know.
It can run iOS, if you unlock a secret bootloader menu..
Also can run all Android version from Cupcake to Marshmellow, if you can compile the source with speacial toolkit for the secret bootloader

Will the custom roms and kernels work on the moto g 2nd generations as well??
The new Moto G 2014 hasn't got any new things but screen size and dual speakers and camera.
Can anyone help regarding the confusion of firmwares or threads with the old moto g(if the custom firmwares of the old one won't work).
Custom Recovery
Old Moto G custom recoveries are not working. Boot up failed. Plz upload valid device specific recovery. Help for rooting!!!

Forget about to use Moto G stuff on Moto G2 for now, it uses another bootloader version. And probably most of the old stuff will never work until someone make a porting. If you want to use old stuff just get an old Moto G, which is better imho. Anyway there is a specific forum section for the new G2 where you can ask and discuss about it:

All motorola moto g tutorials playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKG6uOEqqIw&list=PLLuD71ajULsJkqCMjGx7dVRynCipKlFdc
Is anyone knows when the update will be available for this model?
I know that there was a part update for basic Moto G model from 2013.
Thank you for any replies,

It seems like Motorola Engineers are not taking Moto G XT1032, XT1033, XT1039 and the another variants to serious, Phones with heavy UIs and apps like G3 and galaxy Note or Galaxy s5 has Lollipop.
Maybe after Google fixes memory leak problems in Lollipop.

I tested official CM12 and it has exacly same problem. ^
Heard news about a soak test that started today in India en Mexico... so I guess we won't have to wait much longer.
Same Question
I was asking myself the same thing, although if you want to you can simply flash the Brazilian official KitKat Firmaware (Be careful, I almost Bricked mine jajaja LoL), and then just install the Motorola Update Service app. This will let you update To lollipop.
I have Moto G 4g (XT1045). I would like to replace carrier altered android with stock android on it. When done, I do not want the phone rooted. Can I please get help on the proper procedure for doing this as well as the correct rom for this particular type of moto G.

Probably best to ask in a the Moto G area, not here... it is a different animal than the Moto G 2015.

You can nstall the moto g pro roms on US version moto g stylus. When the android 12 is released for moto g pro, you can flash it to moto g stylus and everything should work.

You don't need root to flash moto g pro roms onto moto g stylus. You just need to unlock the bootloader.
On some devices like Oneplus devices, there are even ways to cross-flash roms/firmwares without unlocking bootloader, like flashing global unlocked firmware to carrier-specific variants. On moto devices, it's also possible to cross flash different firmwares with locked bootloader but more complicated.
Unlocking bootloader and rooting are two different things.
You can have unlocked bootloader and non-root roms even though unlocked bootloader is usually a prerequisite of rooting.
On some devices, you can root without unlocked bootloader, usually through some exploits.
There's always more to learn. Thanks.
I just did the update to our G-Stylus now its a G-Pro running A12 with no issue so far and Android Auto wireless works much much better
one thing since A12 has more battery optimizing stuff built in i had to kill of a few otimizer apps seem they were fighting the system
Rooting was same as before so no problems so far
BUT NOT required to get A12 since i can assure u i had to do a clean ReRoot after the upgrade using the Moto upgrade tool....look for change software channel here in the forums.
still like the 2022 5G Stylus with 8gb Ram so that may happen but not such a rush now
