Hi all
In order to use a custom rom , I did the following with my moto g XT1033.
It was running on android 4.4.4 wen i did all these.
1. Unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp 2.8.7.0.
2. Downloaded the latest PA build from here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2614690"
3. And downloaded pico gapps.
4. When i flashed the rom it told that the bootloader is out of date. So i updated the bootloader following this thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/falcon-bootloader-upgrader-tool-t3093793"
5. And when i flashed the rom it was flashed fine. And the gapps and supersu also.
But when i reboot it stucks in bootscreen. I tried wiping and flashing once again. It doesnt work. The bootloader and the recovery are remaining safe and good.
Shud i try a new different ROM or is there any problem with my procedure.. ???
The current bootloader version is 41.18. Moto g phones using 5.1.1 had bootloader version as 41.1A. Does this make a difference..?
Try another rom like aicp or euphoria
Hey my moto g3 cm 12.1 camera pictures taken with flash are black panorama pictures appear orange and slow mo is not working

No 41.18 is still fine (it also can be used for marshmallow ROMs e. g. CM 13 or CyanPop)!

Did you root your device after you unlock your bootloader? Maybe you can try to flash supersu first then try to reflash rom and gapps.

I installed the GPE, and then foolishly did a wipe of my phone.
I have the TeamWin Recovery installed on the phone when I do fastboot.
However I have tried installing the stock UK ROM for Moto G but it's not letting me install due to 'downgrade'
Now I have a Moto G without any OS installed.
What ROM can I install and how??
If you have still recovery installed then you can install CyanogenMod 11 latest nightly.

Download MotoTools in the original development section along with any firmware in the development section and follow the instructions from that post.
If you flash the latest 4.4.4 firmware image for Retail UK you will have no problems. The downgrade message is occurring because you are flashing 4.4.2 or older.
4.4.4 firmware image available here:

CM12 Official!
Guys those who have flashed Official CM12 on XT1033 couldnt get signal in it.
Problem can be solved By The following steps:
Convert the XT1033 to GPe 4.4.2(Not 4.4.4) Click Here to know how to do that.
Flash the latest TWRP recovery. Please dont use Colockworkmod recovery, it didnt work for me.. Link is here
Flash the latest CM12 from Here
Flash the Lollipop gapps from Here
Flash Donkey kernel from Here (This is required to get a signal)
Reboot and enjoy!!
All the above files are not mine!!
The above process worked for my XT1033 Asia Moto G
Am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. Use at your risk.
My Moto G is XT1033 varient. I didnt converted it into GPE. Its just normal XT1033 out of box. I unlocked the bootloader and then flash TWRP (2.8.0.1-xt1032) recovery to install CM12. But when i booted into recovery, i got flickering screen. Then i flashed Philz Touch (philz_touch_6.58.7-falcon) and installed CM 12 official by wiping data, system and cache. But i cant get pass through the boot logo. Is there any way to get latest TWRP for XT1033 varient. How can i flash CM 12 in my XT1033 varient without converting it into GPE.
Flash CM11 first. Then flash CM12 over it. Though dual sim is not working on XT1033.
Ok. If i flashed CM 12 through CM 11 will i get one sim working?
Anyway, in CM12 thread, they mentioned that we need L compatible recovery. What will happen if i flashed CM11 using Philz (Which i think Kitkat compatible recovery.) Will it work on Lollipop. And since, i trapped in bootscreen, how can i flash CM11 without copy it to my mobile. Thanks.
I downloaded CM 11. But i cant copy that to my mobile, since it cant surpass the boot screen. i tried adb sideload and adb push. But permission denied. Please help me on this.

1. No dual sim or just one sim in slot will not work
2. I used philz to flash cm12 and had no problems.
So you didnt convert XT1033 to GPE?
How long it will take to boot up for first time?

Here ist what i have experienced:
I was on System Version: 181.46.3
Well nevertheless:
It was the most recent version i could get and i wanted to get back to Android L.
I installed CM12 the Following way, I had a lot of problems with that. So here is my experience and everything:
So you need to know, to install CM12 or other CM12 based ROMS you first need to have CM11 installed.
Newer Versions of the recovery might be having problems installing CM11, so i would recommend using PhilZ Touch Recovery. It was working for me.
1st: install PhilZ recovery
2nd: factory reset
3rd: install cm11 (Unified Build, due to no up-to-date-build for XT925)
4th: boot
5th: install latest TWRP XT925/TWRP XT926
6th: factory reset
7th: install CM12 XT925 / CM12 XT926 or other CM12 based ROM
8th: install Gapps
9th: wipe cache/dalvik cache
10: Boot
11: Have fun.
Possible problems:
"This package is for moto_msm8960, xt907, scorpion_mini, smq, xt926, vanquish, this is a xt925" ------> You got a problem with the Recovery, it is too new. Try PhilZ
CM12 Booting, inconsistent Data partition stuff error ---------> you did not install cm11 and did not wipe Data before installing CM12, when coming from Blur Rom
Bootloop ---------> no wiping or you did not install cm11 before installing CM12
I hope this might have helped you.

Heyho
I have an XT925.
I installed the msm8960 Build.
The Reason i used the unified Build was, there is no KKBL build for the xt925.
thanks again, onto the procedure now
just last thing, which version of philz recovery you installed, download link has latest one @esok44

If you come frome OTA Kitkat 4.4.2
you have to change Step 1st: install PhilZ recovery ------ to ------ Install TWRP2710-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT.img instead then you can flash the CM 11
If you like philz_touch_6.58.7-moto_msm8960.img recovery (it can mount external Memory Card as USB) you can flash it after all installations after Point 11. The only thing that you cannot start directly to recovery from CM 12.1
Hello guys,
I bought a Xperia Z3 D6616 (T-Mobile variant) with an unlocked bootloader, I want to install custom roms on it, and I need just a little bit of your time to point me to the right direction of how I can achieve that please.
Here is what I've done :
1 - I downloaded TWRP 3.0.2-2 for Xperia Z3, and I installed it using Fastboot :
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp3.img
2 - I downloaded the latest nightly CM12.1 rom + Gapps for 5.1.1 and I flashed them using TWRP successfully.
3- I booted the phone, it works great, but I have 2 main issues :
--> The baseband is "unknown" so Sim card is not detected, and the IMEI is null.
--> When I go to the settings and press "Security" I get the error message : "Unfortunately settings has stopped working"
I've tried to re-install CM12.1 again using the "boot.img" file that we find inside the rom's zip file instead of TWRP 3, which is a CWM recovery, but still the same issue. I even used Flashtool to flash the baseband only using my Stock D6616 rom, but the baseband is still unknown, I don't know why!
Then I installed other custom roms, like Marshmallow eXistenZ, or SLiMM etc.. but I always get stuck at the rom's Logo animation for ever.
Can you please give me a solution for flashing any custom rom successfully? I'm stuck on LP 5.0 for ever..
