Help :bricked my moto g

hi
i need some help here
i was on 4.4.2 us version and i wanted to downgrade to 4.3 de version
now my phone stays always in fastboot mode and got this error when i try to flash :version downgraded for primary_gpt
some help please

More information would be greatly appreciated.
This are some of the steps you can follow as of now.
Firstly you can try flashing the stock firmware through fastboot but I guess you already have tried that.
Next thing is to flash a custom recovery such as cwm from the android development section and then boot into recovery. After that using adb side load install a custom 4.3 ROM such as infusion by tillaz. Reboot you are there.
These are some basic ways, as I have no other details I based it on a assumption hopefully it helped you.

Rollback to 4.3 impossible. Everywhere they write about it in big red letters. Try to roll back - get a brick. Although, Try to flash back to 4.4.2 US if you see fastboot or mfastboot devices show up.

Stucked in bootanimation

Hi, I have the 8gb Moto G Spanish version (don't know any more of it), I unlocked the bootloader yesterday, rooted it, installed CWM and I tried to flash beanstalk but my phone got stuck in the bootanimation (I know it takes time, I left it through all the night and didn't work). After that I tried with other roms (maybe a bad download or incompatible issues or something) but there's no way to make it go past the bootanimation. I tried PA, CM (xt1032) and a couple more but nothing.
I also tried to go back to stock firmware with this guide but couldn't do it either. Can anyone help me?

Exactly the same problem here. Haven't found any help yet

Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk

if your on 4.4.2 all you need is the 4.4.2 firmware or 4.3 firmware, download the zip one, then unzip and double click flashall(windows batch file), it should install the firmware you have, just looked, you need the spanish one or eu, and when i tried to go from 4.4 to 4.3 it came up with an error, in the guide it explains you need to delete a couple lines of code in two files, if you follow the guide you cant go wrong.

Can you link me to the guide please? Would be appreciated

pay attention to post on 3a, if you can only go back to 4.3 you need to do this. also you need adb but dont need to use it, just click on the flashall.bat file, it should then wipe everything and go back to 4.3

Thanks man! I'll try it when I get back home

[GUIDE] Convert any Moto G into a GPE with root and custom recovery

'Morning, 'afternoon and 'night.
I saw some XT1033 (some XT1032 too) users having problems with the latest unified roms (falcon ones) and decided to help them. I already did a guide like this in a brazilian Android forum, so, I'm only translating it. Hope it can be helpful to XDA.
-- First, thanks to ffosilva. Without his "semi-official" firmware, this guide couldn't exist.
| PRE-REQUISITES
- You need to have bootloader unlocked.
- Google Play Edition rom - Google Drive
- Google Play Edition rom - MediaFire
- mfastboot
- Minimal ADB & Fastboot
- Motorola Device Manager (Drivers)
1 - Alright. First of all, install Minimal ADB & Fastboot in C:\, to keep things easy. After, extract Google Play Edition.tgz inside its folder with mfastboot.
2 - Turn off your Moto G and put it on Bootloader mode by pressing power + vol. down for a few seconds.
3 - Plug it in PC and verify if it is connected.
4 - Open cmd.exe and do this command: cd C:\Minimal ADB & Fastboot or the folder you've installed it.
5 - After, copy these commands and paste them. On the third one, cmd will crash, just wait your Moto G reboot and close the warning.
Code:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
mfastboot continue
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg_intl.img
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
| If you live in USA, do these last commands instead:
Code:
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg_gpe.img
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
| And after checking if all the commands returned an OKAY, do
Code:
mfastboot reboot
| To flash any custom recovery, download CWM or TWRP (thanks to Dhacker29!), put it inside of Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder, launch cmd.exe doing "cd" in folder and do:
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery filename.img
| After, just flash SuperSU from recovery to get root. (thanks chainfire!)
| THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE. INCLUDING INTERNAL STORAGE.
| THIS WILL ALLOW XT1033 TO INSTALL falcon ROMS WITH ONLY ONE SIM WORKING
| NOW YOUR DEVICE HAS EXT4 STORAGE, SOME TWEAKS WON'T WORK
| AND SORRY FOR ANY GRAMMAR ERRORS
-------------------
REVERSE GUIDE
| Use this guide if you failed with first one or want to go back to stock rom.
| Install Minimal ADB & Fastboot again in another folder to avoid conflicts and download here (thanks to droid-developers) your respective stock rom. Extract it inside the folder.
| After, just re-do steps 2, 3 and 4 from above.
| Step 5 you'll run with these commands below. On the third one, cmd will crash, just wait your Moto G reboot and close the warning.
| I'm not sure if system partitions are the same for ALL roms at sbf.droid-developers. Some will have sparsechunk.1, 2 and 3. Verify that before running the commands!
Code:
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot.exe reboot-bootloader
mfastboot.exe continue
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot.exe erase cache
mfastboot.exe erase userdata
mfastboot.exe reboot

These are ignorable errors. I always get them when flashing this rom but never had problems.

Hi,
I have a question regarding the ROM linked in the thread. Is this the official ROM or is this a modified version? So if I install this ROM on my XT1032, will it get the updates directly OTA from Google?
Thanks

It may get ota unless you alter the system with custom recovery or root it.

No one knows because there is no OTA for test this. But I believe it will receive because it was made of the system-pull of original GPE Moto G.

Once I do this, how do I get back to non-gpe?

Download your stock rom here and flash it with a flashall.bat that is inside the zip of each rom there. Or you can do manually. It's the same thing of those commands above, just change archive's names. Some will have system.img divided into three parts, so, flash in the sequence.

noob question?
this may be a really noobish question but how do i extract "Google Play Edition - falcon.tgz"
everytime i run mfastboot it closes.

Use WinRAR to do so. You can't run mfastboot. Run "cmd.exe" and follow the guide. You have to cd a workspace.

I got it to work, my problem was i was expecting the entire folder not a .tar image.
I then realized that i had to extract the tar file and use 7zip or winrar to extract all the files out of that one. Fileception if you will.
Thanks again for writing this tutorial.

Bootloop after downgrading to 4.3 .. pls help ?

I had faux kernal installed before downgrading to 4.3.. should I have to install a jelly bean kernal first before running these commands ? now I'm stuck on a bootloop ? pls help me ?
is there any way to install custom rom or any rom using fastboot?

I installed TWRP recovery "it says- unable to mount data" then I flashed CWM it also says "can't mount sd card"
what is the issue here ? pls help me I'm about to have a massive heart attack

As far as I am aware, you cannot boot Stock 4.3 with an updated Bootloader (you flashed motoboot, but that will not have downgraded the bootloader). If you can find the custom kernel for 4.3 Faux created - that may work. Otherwise, you have to install 4.4.2 or newer.

I was about to downgrade from stock Kitkat 4.4.4 to JB as well... now I'll hold back. Anyone got a correct way to downgrade from 4.4.4 to JB ?
*I'm rooted with unlocked BL running stock rom

There is no known way to downgrade the Bootloader (to the 4.3 compatible-version) and you should be warned it is dangerous to experiment in this area. The 4.3 Kernel will not boot with an updated Bootloader.

Whats the most up to date method for unrooting?

I only just rooted my wife's Moto G a couple of nights ago as I was going to install the Brazilian lollipop version but thought better of it. Now the official update and I can't install it for her, even though it has stock recovery and stock 4.4.4, so I take it its because the su payload is still installed.
So what's the best way to unroot? Surely all that manually installing each part separately crap is totally out of date?

Just flash it in fastboot?

Balls. So I did what was suggested on here, copied the 4.4.4 file to the internal memory, wiped the phone and the zip won't install in twrp. What do I do now?

You need stock recovery and no root. Then you need to flash the stock firmware with fastboot. It's a simple process that I've done a few times. I'm on my phone right now and don't have time to provide a link, but search the forum for flash stock firmware.

Copy your brain to internal memory... you read any tutorial? so many... go and read, but be carefull to not broke your device

The stock xml.zip file needs to be unzipped and each partition needs to be flashed using fastboot or mfastboot commands.
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata

You may get a prevalidation error when trying to flash motoboot.img. If you do, just skip it.
When flashing the sparsechunk files, change the name to match the sparsechunk files in the zip.
