I first restore to stock 4.4.4 from CM11 by manually flashing falcon_boost_user_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.57_57_release-keys-cid9.xml.zip. Everything worked.
After that, I try to upgrade to stock 5.1 by manually flashing XT1031_FALCON_BOOST_5.1_LPB23.13-56_cid9_CFC.xml.zip with mfastboot. Every part seemed to flashed successfully, but when it is finished, it won't boot and stuck at bootloader unlocked screen.
Now I cannot downgrade to 4.4.4 since the gpt.bin and motoboot.bin all failed preflash verification. I guess the bootloader won't allow downgrade. Even with all other parts successfully flashed, it is still stuck at booloader unlocked screen.
I also tried to flash twrp 2.8.7.0, but it also failed due to partition size different. (Is it because twrp can only be flashed under 4.4.4 bootloader?)
So I am stuck now. Please help me. How do I flash stock 5.1 and later CM12.1? Thanks in advance.
Try flashing the firmware with RSD Lite and see what happens.

Fixed. I found a stock rom 4.4.4 downgrade package from here.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoG/comments/3omnox/moto_g_xt1031_boost_lollipop_stock_rom/
It has same contents as the 4.4.4 stock rom package I downloaded from filefactory, except there is a fastboot.exe boundled in this package (dated 6/25/2014) that is newer than the one I was using (dated 3/20/2013). This one successfully restored my XT1031 to 4.4.4 stock.
Flashed of twrp and also flashed stock 5.1 optimized from twrp. Both went well.

SOLVED! SEE HERE!
So, I softbrick my XT1033 while I trying to upgrade from Motorola 5.0 to 5.0.1. After I tried many ways to solve the softbrick, the only solution was revert to 4.4.4 GPE and upgrade to 5.0.1 GPE.
So, please all understand that I did not want to install GPE (I already knew that I will lose dual sim on GPE), but was the only way to solve the softbrick.
But, I really don't like the GPE, and prefer the stock motorola rom for tons of reasons, but the main is the dual sim function and the camera/gallery apps.
So, my question is: Is there a way to return back from 5.0.1 GPE to stock 5.0.1?
Thanks!
Yes!
Try reading this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/xt1032-bricked-please-help-t2980601
Probably, you'll need to flash a new gpt.bin file. Once it's been done, you can flash the others files.
Cheers!
Ok... it works... but was a hard work to do...
1 - Downgrade from 5.0.1 GPE to 4.4.4 GPE(using fastboot, but without flashing gpt.bin and motoboot.img)
2 - Reboot into bootloader and reflash 4.4.4 GPE (now flashing gpt and motoboot)
3 - Reboot into bootloader and flash 4.4.4 Stock (flashing gpt and motoboot too). Start phone.
4 - Reboot into recovery and flash 5.0 Stock (adb sideload). Start phone, put 5.0.1 Stock update zip into internal memory.
5 - Reboot into recovery and flash 5.0.1 stock.
I had to download 6 differents roms and others files to solve this problem (about 2,2GB downloaded)...
And, WOW, now all is fine...
JAJAJAJA
Me too, brother. I had to download 4 or 5 different roms to make it run properly.
But, at least, I'm now running the 5.0.1!
Cheers!

Does step 2 downgrade the bootloader from 41.18 to 41.13?
Yeah Did some one with 41.18 bootloader tries this solution?
We cant go back to 41.13 bootloader...
Hi,
unfortunately I am not able to flash CM12 on my XT1032. Phone is unlocked, converted to GPE and flashed via OTA to GPE 5.0.1 so I have L bootloader. I tried many recoveries (TWRP 2.7.x.x-2.8.x.x), CWM, CWM PhilZ Touch, different CM12 versions but without succeed. The strangest thing is that latest CM11 can be installed without any problems. I have also tried to convert data partition from ext4 to f2fs.
When I am going to install .zip, I am always getting this error, no matter what I've tried:
Code:
E: executing updater binary
Cant mount /system.
Failed
I will welcome any suggestions, thank you!
I think i found a fix. Worked for me on XT 1032
That was my original post:
Okay sorry for that double posting, but i managed do find a solution to the error message while installing cm12 oder any other lollipop rom.
It seems like the system-partition size of the GPE 4.4.4 differs from the stock or cm12. Thats why i always got the error status 1 (installation aborted).
I tried to downgrade to 4.4.4 and 4.4.2 with no luck, always the same. But then i found a modified gpt.bin wich lets you "update" to the old stock 4.4.2 partition sizes.
So i flashed this gpt.bin and then the other files of the stock gpe 4.4.2. After the first boot i directly flashed the 13/01/15 nightly of cm and everything works as far as i can say now.
Here is the gpt.bin-file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...76&postcount=2

Thank you for your answer. According to many guides - GPE Lollipop bootloader and gpt.bin (when you updated via official OTA from Google) should have not been overridden with older versions because it can make your device bricked. Are you sure that this method is safe?
I am also considering to keep CM11 on my device and wait for official L images or new versions of recoveries/CM12.

I could flash CM11 without Problems but i got bootloops even with Retail EU Stock ROM (reboots on "Warning unlocked bootloader" message). I came from official GPE 5.0.1.
I think the gpt-file is modified because it was able to overwrite the lollipop gpt. The phone booted up and got me GPE 4.4.2 on which i could flash cm12 without any problem.
Works fine even after 1 day of heavy usage. Updated cm12 through cm-updater also. Maybe i was lucky, but it worked

How did you get this?
gpt.bin is not flashing here:
"(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)"
"version downgraded for primary_gpt"
I was using stock Lollipop Soak Test, and I've tried to back to KitKat.
Now I can't boot to any version and I can't flash one. Bricked.
You are not bricked, I got the same message, fastboot flash recovery and then boot to it.

I'm pretty sure this isn't going to be replied but when I flash the gpt .bin it will typically erase everything and repartition it for the 4.4.2. So... I have to sideload a zipped official ROM or flash it from command?
Hi, I've successfully installed Brazilian Stock ROM/Identity Crysis ROM (both Lollipop) on my XT1032 without any error using PhilzTouch 6.55 recovery, but everytime i try to install CM12/CM12-based ROM it will fail. Apparently because my bootloader is older than it should be. I've tried TWRP and it will fail too. Is there any recovery compatible with 41.05 BL? Or should i update it? I'd rather be able to downgrade to KK, so 41.13 will be ok, right? Also, how to update BL?
Regards
I believe the bootloader file is named motoboot.img and could be flashed using fastboot commands.
The motoboot file are included with stock firmware xml.zip files.
Guys help me Ibricked my moto g .Here is what i did
I have a XT1033 on stock lollipop with unlocked bootloader. So i first flashed cwm using fastboot, booted fine in recovery and back to system.
Then i again entered fastboot mode and flashed TWRP 2.8.5 for XT1032(There was no specific for xt1033). Booted fine into recovery , took a backup of entire rom .It was fine till now. Then when i booted into system the phone was stuck at boot logo. It kept on restarting again and again and when i entered fastboot mode to enter into recovery the recovery partition was also corrupted and it was stuck at teamwin logo.
but the bad things didnt end here.When i flashed stock firmware using fastboot the system sparsechunk files falshed with an error "FILE IS TOO LARGE". I tried both 4.4.4 and 5.0.2 but its still stuck at bootlogo.
PLEASE HELP ME DEVS
here u go
Happened with me once
Follow this:
1.Flash gpe 4.4.2 firmware( u may have xt1033 but still flash it)
2.Don't update the gpe to 4.4.4 or ur device will hardbrick(don't cry afterwards)
3.flash asian 5.0.2 firmware from fastboot
4.enjoy!
is it safe to flash gpe 4.4.2 over over 5.0.2
And if i flash it am i supposed to flash it with or without gpt.bin and motoboot.img
and also while flashing asian 5.0.2 are these two commands needed to be flashed.

Flashing fastboot files will never hard brick the device...just don't play with OTA's
and yes while flashing 4.4.2 skip gpt and motoboot and while flashing asian 5.0.2 no need of skipping

I wanna Downgrade back to Stock 5.1 but my question is, do I have any problems with bootloader, flickering or OTA's if I downgrade from 6.0.1 CM13 to 5.1 Pure Stock?
And should I think about something before I downgrade?

You can do it through MFastboot method, and you won't have any problem at all. Just download right version for your region and you're done.

I got a flashable zip?
can i flash it or do i need to use the mfastboot method?
It will be fine with that flashable ZIP... it's just like another ROM. I told you MFastboot method because that way you're making sure that everything is stock and not Modified.

Is a factory reset/ all wipe not enough to flash it normaly?
or why mfastboot?
Well, If you want everything Stock then you must do it through MFastboot method. with the ZIP that you have it will be a stock ROM; but your Recovery and Bootlogo still are modded (Recovery will be CWM or TWRP, and your bootlogo stays the same you have right now, not the warning you get when you unlock the Bootloader)
Edit: both ways to do it are fine... Just different results at the end.

So what are the results if I only flash it instead of mfastboot?
Flash Zip: Stock ROM, modified recovery, and if in the past you flashed a bootlogo it will stay the same. (If in the future you want to flash again CM or any other ROM this is the best)
Mfastboot: Stock ROM, stock recovery, and stock bootlogo (the one with the warning of unlocked bootloader) (if in the future you want to flash again CM or other ROM you'll have to flash the recovery first and then flash your ROM)

Okay thx for the Info
But my phone will not get bricked or flickering because of bootloader?
I know it gets bricked if I go from MM to KK.
It won't... Flicker happens because some kernel implementations changed from KitKat to Lollipop. And the bricked devices were because people tried to flash KitKat bootloader (motoboot.bin) and partition table (gpt.bin or something like that) on top of Lollipop.
But as our Moto G 1st gen didn't get past Official Lollipop there isn't a new bootloader version released. And CM13 is implemented over the same Lollipop bootloader. So don't worry about bricking your device if you wanna downgrade to Stock Lollipop.
