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!

So I have a Boost Moto G(1031) that I unlocked the Bootloader on & put the stock Verizon Moto G(XT1028) firmware on so I can OTA on Page Plus & make Life easier later. I was wondering if any one has tried to put the Verizon CM on this device setup like this or any other Verizon Rom for that matter. If so did it work?, Brick it? Error Out? what was the result's & what Version of android were you on when you tried this? I would like to have the latest Cyanogenmod 11 for Moto G on my device but some places I see 1028 & others I see 1031 so just wondering the outcome before I try cause im sure someone has tried this already. Thanks for any info
Boost Moto G with Verizon rom
I have the Boost Moto G programmed for PagePlus also. I have installed several of the rom's, both cm and asop with no problems such as "brick" or looping as you are worried about. Each of the different rom's seem to have their own issues you probably have read about in the forums.
I'm no expert, but I think as long as you have adb and fastboot figured out and follow the guides you'll do alright.
Currently I'm using the Flashable ZIP Stock Motorola firmware in the development forum and it is working very well for me.
I'm using Android version 4.4.4
Good Luck!

Right on. Yea all custom roms seem to have their own issues whatever they may be. I'm as well on 4.4.4 stock I haven't rooted yet cause I wasn't sure if I would be able to use the Roms for a Verizon device & hadn't seen any info on it. Thanks for the info I'll get her rooted & start playing yay!!
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.

Hey there!!
I'm a newbie, would appreciate your help very much. Long ago I had rooted my Milestone 2 and installed a Cyanogen. But that was long ago and now I'm overwhelmed with so much information on this forum.
I've got a Moto G (2013), Dual Sim XT1033, bought in Brazil.
Update to Lollipop 5.0 has been one of the worst decisions, it works VERY badly now.
I wanted to get a new ROM. (Cyanogen 12? but I saw on their webpage my device is not supported, it also gave me that message when I tried to install thei apk)
It can be that or another popular one. The thing is that I dont know how to do it, and FAQs and walkthroughs assume I know a lot of concepts which I dont (like the difference between rooting and flashing my device) and procedures I am not aqcuainted with.
Please, has anyone got a starting guide? About flashing/rooting (?) my motoG and how to install (and which do you recommend?) the rom without much technical vocab..
Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Moto G- first you have to unlock the bootloader then root your phone then flash a custom recovery then you can flash a rom of your choice ( i recommend the stock optimized lollipop, has great battery life :good: - forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510
Does steps for unlocking bootloader and rooting is same even after updating to 5.0.2, I mean same as steps that are available for moto G android 4.4.2 ?
I have moto G (1st Gen) bought in India updated to 5.0.2
Thanks in advance
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, I recently updated from Android 11 to 12 and I want to go back (reasons). I have a Moto G31 bought in the Philippines.
My question is mainly about stock roms if I were to flash the firmware:
- Would I be able to get it to be identical to when I bought the phone? i.e all the same few preinstalled Moto apps and it would still go through all the normal Moto updates again?
- Would the warranty (according to the device itself) be intact? also, in other words, would the phone itself know it was different from when I first bought it?
- Would a stock rom from say Brazil be different to the one I should have on my Phillippines model (assuming they both have the exact same version number RRWB31.Q3-46-85)?
Thank you in advance for any replies
You are not the only one wanting to go back. I have found the correct ROM for me (eu) but not the correct instructions. The Lenovo forum has several pages in the thread for Android 12 problems on the G31 and people are pretty upset. There is another thread here too asking for help on rolling back the ROM, and I hope someone here on XDA who is knowledgeable can help.
