Hi
I only just realised today that CM13 was out for the XT1032. Mine is currently running GPE 5.1 firmware
Do I need to convert back to stock to flash CM13?
If so, how can I do that?
Can I just flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12153 using the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/how-to-to-stock-5-0-2-motorola-lollipop-t3077806 ?
EDIT: No I can't lol, that's a flashable zip. Will try to find another firmware.
EDIT: Trying to use the Brasil ROM mentioned in the post (my device is UK unlocked) - so I just follow those instructions, boot to 5.0.2, shutdown, install TWRP, then flash CM13 and install GAPPS right?
Thanks
Well, the convert went successfully!
Installed TWRP and installing CM13 now!
Thanks XDA!

Hi all,
I have Moto G XT1033 Dual sim 8gb version. I tried flashing PA rom but found that there is no signal even after multiple attempts in installing the RIL. Now I would like to get back to stock kitkat rom. But when I try flashing the stock zip through TWRP or CWM, it fails with status 7. I tried flashing the stock recovery, even that is not working. KIndly guide me to get back to stock.

hi,
I have Lolipop 5.0 in my Moto G + root + TWRP. I received the 5.0.1 OTA but of course I can't apply the update because of TWRP. I read (here) that I need to come back to stock recovery to apply the update. I'll loose root access but that's ok, I'll root again later. My question is: how do I come back to stock recovery?
Thank you.
The same way you flash twrp.

to flash TWRP I download the lastest version of TWRP on their website. How can I do the same with stock recovery???
There are links here where to download stock recovery. Can't browse the forum now. But i too have downloaded the stock from a post here. Hope it helps.

can't find XT1032 Lollipop stock recovery on XDA, I guess I'll have to open a new thread to ask... I flashed 4.4.4 stock recovery (through MotoTool AIO software) but I haven't been able to flash 5.0.1 update then. So I think 5.0 stock recovery is required to update to 5.0.1.
Thanks for your help.
If by chance you have the link to XT1032 5.0 stock recovery, please post it!

I guess you're using custom rom so restore to STOCK ROM .
Follow this guide (at the end dont flash any custom recovery) Stock recovery XT1032
Automatically you'll get stock recovery

no, I'm using stock ROM, with TWRP + root, that's it. So I just need to stock recovery to apply OTA update.
But thanks for the link, I understand how to use it to come back to stock recovery. Except... that this guide is for XT1033. Do you think I can use recovery.img XT1033 image file to flash my XT1032?
Hi,
the title says it all:
How can I apply the 5.0 OTA update on a rooted, unlocked Moto G XT1032 with CWM recovery?
I don't care about root anymore and I have used SuperSU to unroot the phone.
But in order to apply the update I need to install the stock recovery, otherwise the device will get stuck in a bootloop.
How do I do this? I have tried using MotoToolAIO and its "Flash Stock Recovery KitKat" button but get a
Code:
hab check failed for recovery
message every time I try.
Could you guys please tell me how to get the stock recovery installed on this phone? As I said I don't care about losing root and I don't mind relocking the phone if necessary. I would really appreciate any pointers you can give me. Possibly without losing my data & apps. Thank you.
This page apparently is supposed to contain all those stock files but it is broken: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
This manual seems to be helpful for similar cases, it did not help me, though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Download the stock 4.4.4 ROM for your phone, extract the recovery.img file, and flash it using fastboot commands.
You also need to be unrooted with the stock Motorola apps.

If you think that solves the proble, well...yes. But where do I find that file? As I indicated the only possible source seems to be unavailable currently. I can't find any other.
Does anyone here have an XT1032 DE singleSIM recovery image lying around?
As I am currently living in South Africa and internet is not reall stable it would be amazing if someone could offer just the recovery file instead of the whole 500-600MB dump.
I have a Canadian xt1032 running stock Telus 4.4.4 firmware. Not sure if that recovery would work but I could find it if you want to try it.
Don't forget to unroot too.
I unrooted too using SuperSU and managed to restore the stock recovery using MotoTool (find it on XDA). These are the basic requirements for installing an OTA. But after the OTA is downloaded and I try to install it, the process starts and in about 10 seconds it displays "Error" and boots to 4.4.4 again. Any recommendations?
^^did you remove any of the stock Motorola apps?
No, and Motorola Update Services is updated to the last version.

I doubt it - and fear what might happen if it goes wrong, to be honest. But thanks a lot for the offer. I was able to locate a Retail package for the DE version and will try to download the whole beast, hoping that the connection is stable for these 3 hours.
Even though nobody answered me, I found out what's going on. Lollipop OTAs cannot be installed on modified devices.
You could try out some custom ROM if you are unable to get the official 4.4.4. Carbon and CM11 are some customs ROMs I know of.
There are great unofficial ROMs on the moto g xda forum too!! Don't forget to have a look.

I'm thinking of Resurrection Remix 5.0.2
You could also check out mokee, crdroid, xperience. And don't forget to check out the ROMs in the forum list

One question man. I have 4.4.4 installed. Do I have to install stock 5.X in order to get lollipop bootloader before installing any ROM?

how did you manage to un-modify your device? I just bought the Moto G (2013) and have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP and haven't had any luck installing ANY firmware after 4.4.4.... I'm always getting stuck on the bootlogo and have to return back to stock 4.4.4...

You need to have factory firmware and recovery installed in order to update via OTA.

Hello forum, basically, when I got my moto G, it was on 4.3, so I did all the bits, and the step i did after all the rooting unlocking etc was upgraded my bootloader to the lollipop one (ending in 8 i believe) - which i wish i didnt do, and cant downgrade to 4.4.4 (or can I without bricking)......right back to the story.......the problem now is, whenever i try uninstalling apps, or wiping data in any app etc, my phone does a reboot, I installed the brazillian 5.0.2 flashable rom (the optimised one) which worked perfectly, did all the correct wipes etc, but it reboots when uninstalling apps......, and thought i would try dirty unicorns....works well except the rebooting problem...... help....what can I do????????
I read somewhere that maybe to solve it, you gotta change runtime from dalvik to ART, but there is no option to change this....
There are no 5.0.2 uk images available that i have read (so i cant completely get back to complete factory settings)
I really wished i kept the KK bootloader!!!! so who can help me????? I want to try some of the great CM11 builds!!!
Since your bootloader is unlocked and you have the lollipop bootloader, I suggest flashing the stock 4.4.4 (not 4.4.2) ROM for your xt1032 (you will not be able to flash the motoboot file so don't bother trying), upgrade the Motorola apps via Play store, and take the 5.02 OTA update.
FInd your stock ROM here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=1

do i have to update to 5.0.2 again? as i want to try cm11 again
@audit13 is this a flashable zip, or do you need to do it via fastboot? as its got a bootloader included in the zip (4.4.4 kitkat bootloader)
The files from filefactory need to be unzipped and flashed via fastboot or mfastboot.
You do not need to do anything with the stock ROM if you want to install a custom ROM. All you need to do is install a compatible custom recovery and a custom ROM. I suggest flashing right to the latest CM12 rather than using CM11.
I suggested flashing back to the stock for your phone and upgrading to 5.02 via OTA to see if the uninstall problem goes away.
yep understood @audit13 read your other posts on this matter too, the reason I want to use a cm11 rom, is I had a moto g about 8-9 months ago, and there was a rom i loved, and it was cm11 based......will i brick if i do flash this cm11 rom? i know about flickering bug, and possible hard brick if i went back to versions below 4.4.4 ...... and i love cyanogenmod roms, as i dont get irritating moto updates etc
Flashing CM11 should not be a problem as CM11 ROMs do not touch the bootloader or modem.
so basically, downgrade to the 4.4.4 firmware file, and cm11 and im done? yeah?
You can try to flash cm11 directly over stock 5.02. If it doesn't work, you may have to flash back to stock 4.4.4, install recovery, and then flash cm11.
Hey guys.
I have an LatAm Moto Maxx XT1225 sold in chile by Movistar and just trying unroot and get 100% restored, but I made the critical mistake of wipe system and now i can't install any rom.
I was trying install roms via TWRP with the stock rom 5.0.2, the new one 6.0.1 and CM 12.1 stable but i have no luck....
At now the device just stop displaying "Bootloader uncloked" and vibrate, but nothing more.
Maybe this thread seems like this one link .
Same situation, same condition but different model.
Anybody can help me plz? I been trying for 5 days
Use RSDLite to install a factory image, preferably this one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6eO3YZmYHfhNWZlQUx0RWM1Mnc/view (taken from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/general/quark-stock-firmware-moto-maxx-droid-t3063470). It's the Indian version, but it will work perfectly in our device (mine was bought in Chile too). After that, you will be able of installing any other ROM of your preference.
Don't even try to install previous versions (Lollipop or Kitkat), it won't work, and custom ROMs are made with the latest bootloader/radios in mind.
Status update:
Just try with RSD method an it works!
