1) If your not rooted and still stock... you dont have to worry about downloading it there.. But just in case, Just check which model you got, if its the international version, you should download this one: Blur_Version.172.44.4.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US for kitkat or Blur_Version.14.14.16.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US for jellybean.
2) Once your receive your moto g,you can update it to 4.4.2 since OTA is already out for US. I got mine from uk and i live in Mauritius, i received the OTA like others in the uk.
3) Never tried this, but it should work.. You will receive the OTA but can't confirm installation will be successful without errors . you could just disable the app (eg: moto assist) and it doesn't require root.
4) You don't need to worry if you have the 16gb or 8gb, since you will download the same firmware.

xt1032 firmware question

I have a xt1032, running 4.4.2, on t-mobile, so I think it's a GSM model. Should the system version read 174.44.1.falcon_umts.AWSRetail.en.US or 174.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US?
I had to restore the firmware at some point and I'm wondering if I installed the wrong one? What does the 'AWS' part mean?

If you have an XT1032 Moto G, then your phone is not compatible with AWS. XT1034 is the AWS model.

[Q] Consumer Cellular XT1034 to Retail US Firmware

So I just purchased the 1st Gen G for an incredible price off Craigslist tonight and seeing as I'm not a card-carrying AARP member I would like your help in figuring out which Retail US firmware to flash.
Been reading [GUIDE] Moto G - Restore stock firmware and scouring the firmware downloads for Retail US XT1034 but am left scratching my head, especially in regards to the file names in the second firmware source link.
Would someone point me in the right direction?
Oh, and service will be provided by AT&T if that matters.
Also just to confirm: I don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash stock firmware?
Bonus: Any danger in flashing stock retail firmware on a carrier-branded device?
Don't want to brick this wonderfully cheap device.
Thanks XDA!:good:

Wanted to bump this as it got kicked off the main page...
Any help appreciated.

From what I've seen, you do need the unlocked bootloader. Just try it on the motorola site.

Incorrect, those firmware images are supposed to be flashed on locked devices by engineers before being sold. That is why some images are carrier specific. Also you will get a 'preflash validation' error if you have updated to 4.4.4 and then try to flash a 4.4.2 image.
@ZHXS, you can flash any XT1034 firmware you want without fear. Latest 4.4.4 images are posted in this thread: (actually look through thread)

There is currently no 4.4.4 Retail US XT1034 firmware image. You can flash Retail Canada for now.

my sister bought this device for my uncle from consumer cellular. it says xt1032 but in the battery it says xt1034. also the latest update is 4.4.4. how do i upgrade to lollipop?

[Q] [QUESTION] Moto G Retail Version

Hi guys.
I was using the Lollipop version 5.0.2, but I did downgrade to 4.4.4 KitKat
I could not install the Brazil Retail version, so I opted for the Asia Retail.
Is there any difference between them? (I'm live in Brazil)
thanks!

Wrong section to ask questions, perhaps different radio.

So far, the signal is stabilized, 3G operating normally. All right? Or I wanna try to install the Brazilian version?
