when it comes to installing software, rooting, etc.? I'm an absolute newb about this but I'm close to buying an XT1040, but was hoping to run it on CM13 when (if) a stable version is released. Being that the XT1045 is the US model, and therefore more popular, if there are differences in software then I don't think I would be able to install CM13, right?

So I am planning to get a Moto G for my wife and I am wondering which edition to get. As I understand both the stock and Google Play editions are the same price. But will there be any benefits of one over the other if I plan to install a custom ROM on it anyway? Also you can flash Google Stock images on the normal Moto G? Is that correct? And also when you buy the phone from the Motorola website you choose which version to get the Global GSM or US GSM. which version will you get if you buy it from Google?

The Google Play Moto G is XT1032 (the global gsm model). As I understand, you can easily convert the normal one from motorola (either global or US gsm) to a play edition rom if you want to. See the Mototool thread in the original development section of this forum for details on how to do so. As for custom roms, both versions (xt1034, xt1032, and xt1032 GPE) are fully supported by all roms as far as I can tell (please, I would be happy if someone would correct me if I'm wrong about that). I'm personally happy with my 16GB US version running stock kit kat with xposed framework and a number of modules.
I want the moderator to ban me.
I got got a moto g xt1031 and have started to read through various topics, but so far I have not found one. Apparently Boost is taking its sweet time updating their roms, so I was looking for a stock, unbloated rom. however I am not sure what I should be looking for.
Can a xt1031 be converted to a google play edition moto g? I think the gpe moto g is a gsm model, so it probably would not work? My searches were inconclusive.
Or is there some 'generic' or unbranded cdma aosp or stock moto rom out there that I could flash instead?

thanks but not sure if that is what i am looking for, and still leaves me with a lot of questions. unless some of those others on the list, like the XT1032 can be flashed over the xt1031? So far I have not been able to find any convert xt1031 to gpe guides... so I've no idea if that is even possible.
There are two ROMs for XT1031 in that thread. You can unlock the Bootloader (See FAQ in Q & A) and flash a custom recovery, then flash the ROM or a custom ROM if CDMA compatible.

I really hate how the Boost devices are way behind others. Upon researching Google and this website for days, it seems that the Boost variant Moto G doesn't have a proper Lollipop rom for working data besides certain Meticulus builds. I'm trying to test out other roms, but most of them give me a 0x4113 error. The AIO Falcon Bootloader upgrader doesn't work either since it only supports other models except the XT1028/XT1031.
My question is how do I upgrade the bootloader? If it isn't possible, then my other question is, what's the latest, best rom w/ working data for it? Most of them that I've seen are discontinued.
Hi all, one of my first posts here. I bought a Moto G 2nd (Brazilian) Edition recently, but I want to wipe the OS and put on the latest GB iteration on it. Any idea where I can find the stock ROMS for the Moto G 2nd edition? And what's the latest (best) way to root the Moto G 2nd edition? Sorry if these are rather fundamental questions but I'm a bit out of the loop with all this stuff.
TIA
Ok, so I've managed to find the stock ROMs. But I'm a bit confused about a few things:
1. I know downgrading can be a big no no, but what about flashing a ROM that is the same version? All I really want to do is replace the BR (Brazilian version) with the GB (Great Britain) version of firmware, is this easily achieved?
2. What's the best way to flash the moto? I always see a myriad of ways of flashing, either with CMD scripts or sometimes ready-to-use apps...just wondering whether or not there is a "standard go-to" way of flashing the moto?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, not sure where to post. Its a 2 part, but regarding the possibilities of compiling or even taking the stock rom from a Moto Z4 (or generation variant) and then running it on a newer Motorola phone for the Moto Mod capabilities, Would it be possible? For the second, would it then be possible to solder/rewire the phones Moto Mod hardware component to the newer Motorola phone?
