[Q] Moto G Telus/Koodo, screwed up 5.0.2 update : please help..!

Hello Android gurus
I tried to find the answer to my problem in the other threads, but I'm still not 100% sure if I should proceed.
. I had rooted xt1032 moto g prior to 5.0.2 OTA that came out yesterday.
I used full unroot with supersu prior to applying the OTA thinking it would be ok. I guess I screwed up, my phone is soft bricked.
I can get in stock recovery but otherwise it is on boot loop and ends up with 'no command'.
I have the moving line problem on the bootloader white screen which seems to imply a diferent version of kernel and bootloader, (which I do not full understand)
.. Which makes we wonder if it is unsafe to flash the stock rom 4.4.4 image of my phone.
And if it is safe, will I be able to update via OTA after that?
What are my options? Thanks in advance!
The moving line issue is probably due to the fact that you have the 41.18 bootloader on your phone.
I also have a Koodo xt1032 with the 41.18 bootloader and was able to flash back to stock Telus 4.4.4. Do not flash stock 4.4.2 as other XDA members have said that flashing 4.4.2 would brick your phone.
I'm checking for OTA updates but I keep getting the message that my phone's software is up to date.

[Q] can i complete downgrade to 4.4.4 after 5.0.2?

Hi there, i am tring to get back from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4... after messed my phone (brick it several time) i was able to boot Stock 4.4.4 flashing the 5.0.2 via Fastboot then 4.4.4 via custom recovery...
there 2 things that i want to fix now, when the phone is charging offline there a "?" on the battery status, the other thing is the screen flick before the first standby, is there a way to restore the 4.4.4 bootloader???
Thanks and best regards!

I've seen a LOT of "downgrade" guides, but it seems that NO, you cannot downgrade the bootloader. You cannot fully downgrade.
I went from 5.1 stock to 4.4.4, and I too get that weird horizontal line graphic anomaly.

How to counter the affects of rooting on xt 1033

I recently unlocked the bootloader and rooted my xt 1033, but I'm facing a lot of issues after that.
As you can see in the attached screen shot my device is no more compatible with Motorola boot services.
Since Motorola started rolling android 5.1 update but I'm not getting any notification to update my device.
I used the twrp recovery but when I go to the recovery menu the screen starts bouncing with many lines on screen.
Please help me in fixing these issues
I think your issue is with custom recovery.
motorola official update only works on stock recovery.
can you guide me how to revert back to stock recovery please?

Moto G LTE XT1045 updated to Lollipop rolled back to Kitkat

Okay, so I recently bought a used Moto G LTE, seller said it would be on Lollipop 5.1. When I received it, it had been rolled back to 4.4.4. Hence the screen ripple at every boot up (which persists until the phone is locked and then unlocked) that almost gave me a heart attack the first time. A little googling later I learn this happens because while you can downgrade android the upgraded version's bootloader remains. So last night I finally got around to rooting since I just can't go from a rooted phone to living with a non rooted one, feels like my phone has a noose around it. Anyway I wanted to know if it's safe to flash CM on my phone now or should I reupgrade to 5.1 first? And if I should is there a way to get it to update OTA again? If not any suggestions where to find the firmware? I just want to feel free to flash roms without bricking my phone. Here is a screenshot of my About Phone, in case someone needs it to help, imgur.com /v8iLOU7

Hi.
In my xt1040, i can flash CM 12 lollipop or a stock rom based from kitkat 4.4.4 without problems (I have a updated bootloader), to get OTA updates again, its necessary flash the stock rom (KK or LP), without root, PURE stock (with all "bloatware").
Now im using a optimized rom from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816
No bugs, amazing battery life, and a pure stock, no "bloatware", great ram management.
Sorry for bad english.

You'll have to wipe the system anyway, updating it will be a waste of time...

Moto G 3rd Generation OTA update pending as rooted

Moto G 3rd Generation OTA update pending as rooted
Update Pending: 23.51.65.en.03
Current Build Number: LPI23.72-47
Hardware: XT 1550
Model: Moto G 3rd Generation
Purchased on flip kart three months back and unlocked and rooted.
I have been reading numerous threads but so much scared and confused as to how to get this update which is flashing from last 6 weeks I guess.
Pls could someone explain step by step how to manually update this OTA WITHOUT wiping data pls. Also how to root again after this update.
For first time rooting I followed some YouTube video but not finding any video for above activity.
Kindly help as I have really tried my best but cannot find a way.
Guys Kindly respond Pls. Need urgent Help. Looking forward to ur help.
what exactly u want to do now?
To unroot, simply open your supersu app, go to settings, scroll down and select Full unroot.
To re-root, just re-install twrp and then re-flash supersu
edit:
Be sure to re-lock your bootloader after un-rooting
an then unlock your bootloader before reinstalling twrp.
You're going to spend a whole lot of time getting your phone back to 100% stock. It will be far quicker to just flash a factory image and be done with it.
Not sure whether your answer really answers my question
But will this not reset all data and wipe...also can we do factory reset on unlocked bootloader and rooted device?
Senior members pls guide. Kindly help.
