Hello,
For the better part of this evening I have been trying to flash Telus Moto G with a different ROM. I even unlocked the bootloader, but to no avail.
I keep getting the following errors when trying to flash bootloader, recovery and system:
hab check failed for boot
hab check failed for recovery
invalid PIV signed system image
(when trying to flash a ROM with three sparsechunks, sparsechunk.0 gives the error, two remaining flash correctly, the phone boots, but the phone is unusable (most of the menus and stuff is just not there)
I have tried GPE, same thing (wouldn't even boot).
Only thing that always works is flashing Telus firmware.
Is there ANY way to bypass this limitation?
Please help me!
same for me bro. I tried US retail and it didnt work. I didnt unlock bootloader so I went back to the telus one.
I dont get why you cant get it in if you unlock bootloader
anyways, I doubt there is a difference between these stock rooms. just saying..
There is a fundamental difference in that Telus version only has a few system languages, and doesn't have the ones I need.
could you root it, install cwm and than install custom rom?
Yes, I've finally managed to flash CWM and Cyanogenmod. Thanks for the tips!

Sweet! Good to hear.
Anyone found a way to install non-Telus stock FW or GPE on a Telus Moto G in the meantime? It appears Moto G losdt CM support, so I would like to get back to stock - but Telus version is not acceptable.

I've tried flashing the US and GB retail with no success. The result of the effort was a loss of radio antenna with no network connection. Flashing the Telus firmware repaired the antenna issue with no errors when flashing all the files. The issue seems to be the bootloader and leaves me wondering if it needs to be unlocked. I'm not desperate to have a retail version that I'm willing to void the warranty by unlocking the bootloader.
I am giving one of my flashed phones that I was using on Page Plus Cellular (Boost Moto G XT1031) to a friend who wants to use it on Boost Mobile . The phone was flashed using using the procedure here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681166. The phone has the unlocked bootloader and is running stock VZ 4.4.4. I know that I have to change the SPC back to original (I saved it ) Can I simply flash it back from VZW 4.4.4 to one of the available earlier stock Boost stock roms 4.4.2, 4.4.3 (don't want to brick it) ?. Any help in making this phone useable on Boost Mobile is appreciated -Thanks.
You should just be able to change the SPL back to what it was originally and flash the factory firmware and be good to go. Do the factory activation after you flash *228 or whatever it is.
There was a filesystem change between 4.3 and 4.4.2 but if you are just flash 4.4 you should be fine. Just make sure to follow the appropriate flashing guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
If there were any other specific changes you had to make when changing to Page Plus in CDMA workshop you may have to revert those, but I don't think there really was.
OK. - I will give it try when the Boost Mobile XT1031 Moto G 4.4.4 ROM ( 4.4.4 Blur_Version.175.44.1.falcon_cdma.Boost.en.US) image shows up at one of the hosting sites mentioned in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546251

4.4.4 makes changes to the trustedzone. You will not be able to downgrade. You'll need to wait until boost 4.4.4 firmware is released.
Tthe stock Xt1031 Boost Moto G 4.4.4 rom is now available - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55651962&postcount=408, A quick run through of the procedures for flashing and any other changes (via DFS) to make the phone so that is can become activated on Bost Mobile is appreciated. - Thanks

Hey guys, I ordered a boost mobile Moto G and it's arriving in a few days. I was wondering how would I go about converting it to GPE, and what does it entail? For example does conversion allow it to function correctly with working wifi, and to receive OTA updates directly from google, or would i have to manually flash lollipop roms for boost?
The first step is unlocking the bootloader which will void your warranty!
I am not sure if its possible to convert to GPE firmware with the Boost model.
I've tried to flash gpe on my xt1031, afterwards radio (calls, data, etc) weren't functioning, no matter what radio or baseband I flashed. It only worked once I went back to the stock boost ROM.
I've been searching for a way to do it for months, and have had little success.

Be thankful and grateful that you can unlock your bootloader, root, flash a custom recovery and flash roms. I had the xt1028 Verizon prepaid and none of that is possible if you're on 4.4.4 which my phone came with preinstalled. Phone is not eligible for bootloader unlock.

You can't flash any gpe rom on the boost variant if you use the radio. I've tried flashing modems but it just doesn't work with gpe on boost.

I would like to second that. Based on all of the posts I have read (a lot!) the gpe version is for gsm phones and won't work on cdma (boost).
I recently unlocked my moto, installed twrp and aokp7.1. due to some reason, tried restoring backup from twrp but didn't unselect modem. During restoration my modem was wiped and the backup file didn't have modem backup. In the end it shows failed to mount modem, system or device busy. Now my phone keeps on showing the boot animation .
Mine is Indian version moto turbo xt1225
Please help.

Boot into TWRP. Connect USB cable to a computer and drag these files below over to your phone, preferably to the Download folder.
While still in TWRP, flash the @bhb27 "clean modem" file (just in case), then re-flash your XT1225 radio. Reboot your phone.

No, all the Moto XT1225 radios are interchangeable. Should not cause any problems. All the XT1225 have the same FCC ID, same radio bands. The only reason the India XT1225 was called "Moto Turbo" instead of "Moto Maxx" is there was some carrier there in India called Max or Maxx, and Motorola didn't want any confusion this phone was in any way tied to them.
I live in the U.S.A. and my wife and I have Puerto Rico and Mexico Moto Maxx XT1225 phones. At one point in 2015, I flashed both to India "Moto Turbo" firmware 5.0.2. (including radio). When I did that, both phones even stated "Moto Turbo" in the "About Phone" section in Settings. (India XT1225 had Lollipop a month before the other XT1225, so that's why I did it -- to get official Lollipop.) Everything worked fine, of course.
Then months later, I flashed CM 12.1 custom ROM over both, and for awhile kept the India XT1225 radio on both the Puerto Rico and Mexico Moto XT1225.
Then, sometime in 2016 I flashed Puerto Rico Lollipop radio over both (including the "Mexico"), just to see if there was any difference. There wasn't. Now I have this same @bhb27 Brazil Marshmallow radio flashed on both, on RR 6.x. ROM -- because it was the easiest way to update to Marshmallow radio.
If you wish, at some point you can download and re-flash "India" Marshmallow radio files via fastboot. (There's no TWRP version I can find.) But you really won't see any difference...
BHB27 Clean Modem File
For anyone else reading this thread...
I keep both the BHB27 Clean_modem_status.zip and the Marshmallow Moto XT1225 Radio/Modem Zip file in my internal memory download folder permanently, since I flash ROM updates very often. (There's also TWRP version of the XT1254 Marshmallow modem for Droid Turbo owners.)
You shouldn't need the radio zip file every time, but the BHB27 Clean_modem_status.zip file is an amazing and very useful tool. Until @bhb27 coded that, several Quark owners were complaining about GPS issues when installing custom ROM. It did seem to affect Droid Turbo XT1254 owners more than XT1225, and it didn't affect everyone. But, it was still a constant discussion point. Lots of solutions were offered -- I found TopNTP app helped tremendously (and I still recommend installing that app -- just be sure to enable the "survive ROM flash" setting so you dont have to keep re-installing it after ROM updates.).
But the only guaranteed workaround -- prior to this file -- was found to be:
flash back to stock
get a GPS lock
made a backup
then install custom ROM
then restore modem
...or something like that. Forgive me if I don't remember all the details. It was a hassle, but that was the solution.
Then, people started sharing their "good" modem TWRP backup files (which already had a GPS lock), that other people could "restore" via TWRP. That's an excellent example of the XDA community helping each other, and was a quicker way of getting to the same point -- but still not ideal.
The issue was when flashing a new ROM on this phone, the modem sometimes became "confused". On the new ROM, GPS wouldn't work!
THEN, @bhb27 coded this amazing app, which clearly and simply "cleans" the older modem data out. It basically clears the cache of the modem. That may not be a technical explanation, but that's the best way to understand it. BOOM! It SOLVED all the GPS lock problems! :good: When flashing a new ROM on this phone, you should probably also flash this file.
Now, when newbies come into the threads and say "I can't get a GPS lock. Please Fix!" we just roll our eyes because they haven't bothered to do even a basic search of "GPS" in the thread. This is a 2-year old phone (actually released late 2014) and we've had custom ROMs since early 2015. Development is VERY mature on this phone. You don't think we've solved something as basic as GPS? Please.
I flash this file every time I do a ROM update, although it's probably not necessary. It doesn't hurt, and can help prevent any modem/radio issues.
Right on @ChazzMatt, I flash this .Zip file on my xt1250 on Verizon all the time, even just dirty flashing an update.
Of course, thanks to @bhb27 for its availability.
Edit. Wrong post. Sorry

Hello there, I'm having issues at the time I make a Phone call, signal is OK, Microhpone ok, Earphone Ok, but when I call someone I can't hear the one I'm calling an they also can't hear me, do you guys think it might be my Radio or Modem, Firstly I thought it was a hardware problem, but it's not, then I thought flashing a different ROM would solve this, but it seems nothing changed, my phone is unlocked both Bootloader and network, pls help

Try re-flashing the modem or even reflashing a different XT1225 modem. I've flashed Puerto Rico, India, and Brazil modems on my XT1225. They all work. Do NOT flash XT1225 modem over XT1254/XT1250. I'm assuming you have XT1225, as you don't really say.
If you open up a sound recording app, and record audio, does the microphone work then? I know it's not just a microphone problem, since you also can't hear the caller, but I'm just trying to think of any issues.
If you have TWRP, the TRWP-flashable Brazil XT1225 Marshmallow modem is listed in this thread. IF you need XT1254, I can point you to another location.

Yes I have XT1225, I'm from Mexico, guess it is mexican, and yeah, I can send voice notes in Telegram and everything is fine. So I just download the Modem .ZIP and flash it without WIPES and that's it or need another thing?

Have you tried reflashing your modem?
The clean modem status was made by Quark dev @bhb27. I don't know if it works for other Motorola phones.
