Hi guys!
I searched and somone has opened a thread about this but never got an answer:
I have an unlocked droid turbo and was wondering if i can flash stock moto maxx firmware onto it?
(I think it was the 1250 that was identical? Correct me if im wrong..)
If so, am i likely to run into any problems?
How am i to go about doing it?
I am on a non-Verizon gsm network so no problem there.
Thanks!
You cannot flash the maxx firmware onto the turbo. The xt1250 maxx is the same as the turbo, xt1254, but the maxx xt1225 firmware isn't compatible and a lot of things will not work right if you can get it to boot.
the XT1250 does not have marshmallow yet, Nor does the Turbo. Only the XT1225 has Marshmallow, and thats the brazil firmware
It wasn't for marshmallow, but for the stock experience and performance.
Thanks for the quick reply!

If you want Stock, I recommend Computerfreaks Rom, its based on the latest stock firmware, and debloated with performance tweaks
Thanks!
Droid Turbo, not Moto Turbo
@Xeroman0, please change your title to DROID TURBO. -- not just "Turbo". Motorola used the Turbo name for more than one Quark.
There's also a Moto Turbo and YES you can flash Moto Maxx and Moto Turbo over each other.
In the body of your question you finally say Droid Turbo, but the title is misleading. I have actually flashed Moto Maxx and Moto Turbo firmware back and forth over my XT1225.

1) You can if it's the Moto Maxx XT1225 to Moto Turbo XT1225.
You can get away with just saying "Turbo" in the Droid Turbo forum but not over here, please.
I realize in the remainder of your answer, which I edited off you did go on to explain. Just saying, it helps if we are clear from the beginning.
____
2) Also YES, you can flash XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx firmware over the Droid Turbo XT1254. They are the same device.
People have flashed the XT1254 firmware over the bootloader unlocked XT1250 and it worked fine (back before you could unlock the XT1254 bootloader). So, it should work the other way too.
But all the XT1250 has for stock image is 5.0.2. If you try it, make sure your bootloader is unlocked. And make sure you are actually flashing the XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx firmware and not the XT1225 Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo firmware.
Still the least riskiest for an XT1254 Droid Turbo is your suggestion for @Computerfreak274's Rom -- if you want pure Motorola stock experience that's debloated.

Aww all it has is 5.0.2? Wow thats unfortunate. And strange that motorola would do that.
I looked over at the computerfreak forum, there are no pictures, but it seems like he just took the bloat software out of stock xt1254 firmware. That means that all the annoying mesages when turning off data or turning on gps will still be there( and those ugly signal bars yechh). I just dont want to go through the flashing process for nothing.
Currently on and loving the look of CM12.1.
Also, how do i change the title? I couldnt find a button

Motorola gave 5.0.2 to the XT1225 "international" Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo in April 2015.
Motorola then gave 5.1 to the XT1254 in July 2015.
Motorola finally gave 5.0.2 to the XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx in February/March 2016 .
Yes, a lesser version than they gave the XT1254, and almost a full year after the XT1225 got Lollipop 5.02. Very strange since the XT1250 and XT1254 are the same device. Any criticism Lenovo/Motorola has gotten over upgrades is fully deserved.
Of course anyone with an XT1250 could have flashed Lollipop via any of the custom ROMs we have. And by February 2016, even CM13 (Marshmallow) was available.
The only Quark owners dependent on Motorola are the XT1254 Verizon subscribers who insist on stock firmware due to VoLTE. Many XT1254 owners in this forum actually do not use Verizon (and the XT1225 would actually be better for them as most are on GSM-based carriers) and even many XT1254 Verizon subscribers think the custom ROMs offer more benefits that outweigh the current lack of VoLTE.

I don't know anything about annoying messages as I have never used CF's ROMs (I have three XT1225), but for signal bars you can probably install xposed/gravity box and change the look of the signal bars.

On a PC, when you hit edit, there's a button just below the box that says "advanced". If you hit advanced, then it shows all the fields including the title field. Can't remember if it also shows up in the XDA app on a mobile device, but it does on a PC when editing in a browser.

thanks for your in-depth reply. ill try to flash CF's rom today, though ill flash the 1.2.6 version as people seem to be having trouble with the later ones
UPDATE: it seems that not only was my assumption about the CF rom right, but worse than i thought as the annoying messages now crash the ui as well.
so... how is 5.0.2 working on the 1250?
or- is there another way to get the REAL moto display working on CM?

Thanks. Is there a way to go about flashing it while keeping twrp?
Also since its stock i have to avoid something else since its a downgrade or something?
Can i even flash this using twrp?
I was thinking of flashing it then twrp. Would that work?
Or do i have to use adb etc?

You won't be able to flash the XT1250 factory image via TWRP. You already have Lollipop bootloader, but first try flashing without gpt.bin (keeping your Droid Turbo bootloader). If that works, then leave it alone.
I know people have flashed XT1254 Droid Turbo 5.1 stock over XT1250 back when they still only had 4.4.4 KitKat, and it worked.
Theoretically, this should work also, but you are technically downgrading from 5.1 to 5.0.2.
Now whether you can use the XT1250 radio or whether you have to re-flash the XT1254 radio afterwards, I don't know.
It's your decision, your phone.
Have a stock Droid Turbo 5.1 image to flash back in case something goes wrong and you need to go back.
Thanks! If i need mfastboot then ill try it when i have the time. Cheers!
@ChazzMatt
Ok so before i pull the trigger, i was hoping to confirm a few things to minimize the risk of brick:
1) i need to use mfastboot as opposed to plain fastboot
2) it DOES matter if i have the 32gb or 64gb droid turbo, and since i have 32gb it will *probably* be compatible
3) i should flash everything except radios, gpt and recovery if i want to make sure that everything will work and keep twrp
4) i currently have su4tl-49, unlocked and thats totally ok?
5) in the event the flash fails, i can just restore to the stock su4tl-49 version thats on here (the one without recovery)
6) i can follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/help/tutorial-how-to-flash-official-firmware-t3074724 (again, avoiding radio and recovery)
Thanks for all your help!

As far as I can see, yes.
Just make sure you flash ALL the "sparsechunks". I don't know how many the XT1250 image has, but the first time (when I flashed from Puerto Rico Moto Maxx XT1225 4.4.4 to Moto Turbo XT1225 5.0.2 stock image), I was going by the example in the guide which lists 8 "sparsechunks" -- but that's just an example. The image you are flashing may have more... Having never done it before, I thought "well, I just need to flash 8 of them"! Luckily, I had an unlocked bootloader so I was able to recover from my mistake.
Endless bootloop at start-up.
Booted backinto recovery and reflashed all the sparse chunks the next time.

Yes, when you download the image. For instance the 5.0.2 Puerto Rico has only 7 sparsechunks.

This is the only copy I keep on my computer. But India 5.0.2 has more, like 9 or 10, which is why I messed up the first time only flashing 8.
Remember, I was going from Puerto Rico 4.4.4 to India 5.0.2. I didn't know how many sparsechunks Puerto Rico 4.4.4 had because it was already installed. And I didn't know I need to flash ALL of India because I had never done it before, and was going by the example in the guide. In retrospect, very silly of me to assume that, but there are so many weird things in flashing phones (for instance, LG G2 flashing has so many different rules from the LG Nexus 5, even though they have basically the same hardware) that only flashing 8 sparsechunks could have been the right thing to to. It wasn't -- but I only found out by making the mistake first.
If I didn't say it before, save off a TWRP backup image on your computer first.

Hi All,
I have looked through the forums and searched the Google and I can't find the correct info for my situation so I appreciate any help.
I have a Moto G GPe that I ordered from Google Play, it came with Android 4.4.2 on it and I am wondering if I can downgrade it to 4.3.
I've unlocked the bootloader and it looks like I should be able to flash a custom recovery, the problem is that I cannot find an image for the stock Moto G GPe 4.3 firmware.
I want to downgrade because I have a need to test an Android app on 4.3.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Awesome, I wasn't sure if I could use the regular Motorola firmware on it. I had read that the partition tables are different and I've only seen threads where people flash from the Motorola firmware to the GPe version.
Do you think this would present any problems?
Thanks again.
Backup anything you want to keep because the phone will be completely wiped. There should be no problems. You can find out how to easily disable KitKat 'update' notifications, if you search this forum. It's worth considering there is an issue with the Moto G that should be patched in the next few weeks, but that will require you to update to 4.4.2/3.

Unfortuantely if you really have used the fastboot command 'erase all' - you have lost your IMEI and there is currently no way to restore it. You have to return the phone to Motorola.

Thanks for the support man,
just confirming, the WiFi depends of the IMEI too, right? even the WiFi I can`t restore?
And one last thing: only Motorola can repair it (or just replace the device), or may a regular repair phone store could do something? what if they replace physicaly the phone memory?
Sorry so many question, it`s my last. :angel:

They aren't absolutely necessary to run Android 5.0.2. For example you can use this ROM with your current 4.4.4 Radio:

so i did follow the tutorial for root the moto maxx and all went very well, now im rooted and installed xposed and gravitybox working like a charm, but there was something that gave me a little doubt , when i boot to the recovery i did not see anything like TWRP if not rather like the stock that brings the moto maxx but nevertheless i did apply update from sd card and select the daroot.zip and it worked but I thought i was going to see something with TWRP interface . I did something wrong ? or what could it happen.

yes... probably you got the wrong recovery
The root guide contains my first attempt to get root. That one is the stock recovery without zip signature checks.
In this thread you can get TWRP
just remember I do not recommend flashing this as well, just boot like the other (fastboot boot filename.img) and read the thread thoroughly

1) The Moto Maxx is just a bootloader unlockable version of the Droid Turbo, you could use the same recovery on the Droid Turbo if its bootloader ever gets unlocked...
2) XDA never gave us a different forum even after requests, looking how dead things are in the Droid turbo forums... I doubt XDA will open a new forum... Probably just a subforum... Till then I guess there is nothing else we can do... Sorry!

OTA update?
Hello there, I installed thi without any problem. Just a quick question:
When the Lollipop updates arrive, I will be able to receive & installing it? Or do I need to return to stock recovery?
Thanks!

I got an email notification of your message, but I don't see it as PM. Apparently it was a "chat" message which for some reason I don't have Tapatalk access to. Anyway, I copied and pasted it here from my email. I PM'ed you and am aslo posting it here in the thread you started. Hope you get this reply.
1) if you have unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed TWRP you may not see an OTA update. (If anyone has a different experience or more detailed information, please post.)
2) if your phone was locked to a specific carrier, you may not see an OTA update if you are not with that carrier and your phone is now unlocked.
If you have a "factory" XT1225 and are still on stock -- you should see OTA. Since you have a Moto Turbo XT1225 (India), that phone is not tied to any specific carrier (as far as I know), and is a "factory" XT1225. I own three XT1225 now -- two from Puerto Rico which were sold by Claro carrier and one from Mexico which actually came straight from Motorola factory in China to Mexico, then re-shipped to my U.S. address. The Mexico one was "factory", but the two Puerto Rico were initially locked to Claro. They were unlocked by the seller, but still any OTA updates only went to actual Claro customers (as far as I know). Whereas the Mexico XT1225 got an OTA update notice (while I was on stock and not rooted) -- even though I am in the U.S.
But if you are still on stock Android, have a "factory" XT1225 from any region, and you have not unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP custom recovery, then I do not know why you are not seeing an OTA update available.
However, you can download the update from any of the links provided in the forum and manually flash it. Note that you will still be on 5.0.2, just an updated version. Whereas all the custom ROMs we have (CM12.1 and Resurrection Remix, as well as Mokee) are all 5.1.1 Lollipop.
Even though I am on CM12.1, I was on "11" Moto Turbo radio for a long time. I recently flashed "16" Puerto Rico to two of my XT1225. The 3rd is still unrooted and on stock for now. It's a backup.
My phone has markings on front...

Interesting. Looks like you have an engineering sample or a phone submitted for government testing?
The Moto Turbo XT1225 launched in India with 5.0.2, software version "11". Soon after, the other XT1225 models (Moto Maxx) in Latin America countries started receiving 5.0.2, upgrading from 4.4.4. Factory versions were first, with carrier versions following. Brazil and Mexico factory versions got "13" and later "16". India finally got "16", after having "11" for a long, long time.
Don't know why you didn't get "16" via OTA, but you can download and flash it manually. However, I found Lollipop 5.02. to be laggy. 5.1.1 is much smoother, so that's why I'm running custom ROM.
Ok my device is engineering as it says in picture.
Is it good thing or bad ?
Custom Roms are satble than stock ?
5.1.1 which you are using is stable than 5.0.2 stock ?
I have never updated phone manually as I do not know how to flash.
This is my only phone so I am concerned about flashing...
I'm not sure I'd argue it's smoother than stock. Just a lot more control. With that control and a few kernel tweaks it may very well be though.
Has anyone ever verified the engineering phone is bootloader unlocked?

On stock 5.0.2 "11", I had lots of lag. Initial stock 5.0.2 was horrible, compared to the smoothness of stock 4.4.4. Maybe 5.0.2 "16" is better, I don't know. I went to custom ROM 5.1.1 long before then and never went back.

I don't think it's already unlocked, but of course it's easily unlock-able. Just need to go to the Motorola website and they'll give you the code.
If it is already unlocked, then yeah that's one less step to flashing TWRP and rooting.
I'd never expect a stolen Motorola engineering phone to behave like a normal phone.

You're right that phone may not act like normal. If I'm looking at the screenshot right, it only has 32GB internal storage -- instead of the retail 64GB? All the retail XT1225 (Moto Turbo XT1225/Moto Maxx XT1225 ) sold to consumers have 64GB internal storage... so even though it says "Moto Turbo" in your settings, your phone is definitely a development prototype never meant to be released to the public.
The product/variant also doesn't match an XT1225. This is probably why auto updates don't occur. Manually flashing likely works fine though and is the proper solution to updates.
Sorry for posting in this thread. I have XT1254. Cannot understand what does "Device is ENGINEERING" mean for me. Do I need to pay for sunshine unlocking?
UPD: It is unlocked. Successfully flashed TWRP and SuperSU. Didn't expect to get such a phone.)

Device is Engineering usually means it's a prototype device not meant to be sold to the public. There are exceptions and I'll get to that...
There were also some Moto Nexus 6 like this, which is 95% identical to the Moto Quark series and released about the same time:

That one just above is obviously a test phone from Motorola Engineering dept not meant for retail sale.
The exceptions are the Motorola phones are made in China, and on the black market in China you could get some Droid Turbo XT1254 phones with bootloaders "unlocked from the factory". A few months after the XT1254 was released here in the U.S., one guy went to China on a business trip from the U.S. and bought one. He bought an bootloader unlocked premium Verizon XT1254 on the street. How would such a phone be available for sale? Well, nothing legal... Either the phone was stolen from the factory production line before bootloader was locked down, to be shipped to Verizon in the U.S. or it was stolen from the department that tests software and they don't want their bootloaders locked down. Or some hybrid of the two -- a production line device stolen and the thief has proprietary Motorola development software that can unlock the bootloader. In those cases, it would not be a prototype device but an actual retail device. Again, I'm talking about the XT1254 phone sold in China on the black market, not your phone.
You did nothing wrong. You are just lucky.
In the other case discussed in this thread, it was obviously a prototype not meant for sale as it was an XT1225 with only 32GB internal memory. All retail XT1225 have 64GB internal memory, with ballistic nylon (which is really ballistic nylon + kevlar underneath). The XT1225 was the most premium of the Quarks (XT1225/XT1250/XT1225), as they also had more HSPA and LTE bands (but no CDMA, which most people outside the U.S. don't need anyway) and had bootloader unlockable from Motorola website (since they were not Verizon phones). But his phone was a 32GB XT1225 -- which doesn't exist, except perhaps inside Motorola test labs. So, no way to predict if Quark custom ROMs would work correctly on it, as they are developed for retail phones..
But yours is a 64GB XT1254 also with ballistic nylon and your bootloader is already unlocked. So, congratulations.
ChazzMatt, it's interesting that it has Verizon logo and still is "engineering".
P. S. SunShine app told that it can unlock bootloader for $25 Hopefully i checked fastboot before that

I think you would have to manually lock the bootloader. But please don't do that, even just to test.

Use Sunshine ($25) to unlock XT1254 bootloader.
XT1225, XT1250 have free bootloader unlock code from Motorola, but XT1254 requires a paid exploit.

Oh no! ZauRocf, it may be too late. If it says "Device is ENGINEERING" then it is fully unlocked. Do not pay $25.
Motorola is finally pushing out the long overdue Nougat update to the 2015’s Moto X Style. The update seems to be rolling out only in Brazil currently. But it should hit other markets very soon now that the process has begun.
Arriving with the build NPH25.200-15, the update installs the Android 7.0 Nougat on Moto X Style alongside the May Android security patch. Besides, the update also installs the Google Duo video calling app on the smartphone.
On top of that, you’ll also get some stability and performance improvements with the new update. Since it’s a big update, expect it to weigh high in terms of memory. So, ensure you are hooked to a stable Wi-Fi network to avoid additional data charges.
Also, try to maintain at least 60% of battery life on your phone before installing the update.
With the update installed, users get access to all the Nougat features which include enhanced Doze mode, revamped notification shade and Quick Settings menu, and of course, the multi-window split-screen mode among other features.
Download Moto X Style/Moto X pure edition official Android 7.0 Nougat NPH25.200-15 update:

No... This is an OTA zip file, not a factory image. To flash this you must be on a stock RETLA device, on the latest RETLA marshmallow firmware, and use adb sideload in recovery or apply update from sd card to flash.
This is not a generic or universal update, it is very specific to a certain device AND software version, everything must match to apply (boot/system/radios)

Can't... we don't have it yet.
We do not have full Nougat firmware images for any MXPE or Style, and don't anticipate seeing those for months.
Currently only TWO variants have Nougat OTA, the Retail Latin America (Brazil) Dual Sim model and Retail European Union Single SIM that was on 6.0.1 firmware previously.
That is it, no other variants have the Nougat update *yet* (as of this posting).
You can try to mess with the various TWRP backups that are floating around here (no, I cannot point you to them) or wait until your variant gets it as an OTA.
can we flash brazil OTA on a x style xt1572 EU with MM 6.0 MPHS 24 49.18.16 .if yes it required unlocked bootloader ?
On the Moto G4 / G4 Plus, the Nougat update file was identical for all models of phones. The radio and identification of the phones where updated accordingly with each phone capabilities.
I would not recommend this on a phone with locked bootloader, just because you can't make backups before.
Note that upgrading to Nougat upgrades the bootloader and most likely you can't go back to MM bootloader and also the rooting of Nougat requires a custom Kernel. So be careful what you wish for.
Can someone with this Nougat version try GPS test or Androits GPS test and see if the gps is fixing position Ok?
In the European Version of Moto x force and Moto x Style it is not working ok. I wanna know how widespreed is this problem.

So the XT1575 works but it seems only on GSM? That doesn't sound like a super bad deal, though for the CDMA network it might just need a refresh from the company or a new SIM possibly. Thanks for the info!
