Hi, I was searching around XDA and saw an upgrade to 5.1 for my Moto G XT-1045. I performed the upgrade but also needed to upgrade the bootloader due to screen flicker. So I did that. The upgrade worked but I just did not like the look or feel of 5.1 on my Moto G. I did a recovery with TWRP, but now I have the screen flicker on 4.4.4 due to having Bootloader 41.1a. I would like to go back to the OEM bootloader 41.10 which I have on my computer. But I keep getting a fail from fastboot. The phone will not allow me to downgrade the bootloader.
Has anyone successfully reinstalled an older bootloader? I know it is dangerous to be doing this but I feel I have the correct level of experience loading via fastboot.
If you know of a way to do this I would greatly appreciate the instructions.
Thanks in advance.

So guys, i got Android 5.0 Lollipop on my XT1033 so i got camera bug, than i tried to downgrade.
Succesfull, but now, sometimes a line appears on the screen sliding down, i can take it out with locking phone, but, what is this???
And how can i fix it?
And i can Relock boot loader to take the boot loader unlocked screen out?
its because you are running the 5.0 bootloader. you will need to wait until there are other 5.0 firmwares to upgrade to
Hmmm no way? Ty for this
just got the phone, upgraded from a moto G
Updated it to 5.01
Now my question is, what are the necessities i need to do with the phone now, e.g. unlocked bootloader and then rooting..etc?
Or should i wait for 5.1 to touch anything
Lmk, i've been out of the rooting scene for a while now.

You can do what ever you want to do my friend It is very easy to root and unlock the N5 and when 5.1 comes and you want to try it out, you can always flash the factory image.

First thing I'd do is unlock the bootloader. That wipes your device and might as well as get that out of the way before you load a bunch of stuff on it.

thanks guys ...unlocked bootloader and did chainfire auto root...
Hello, I am at 5.0.2 completely stock and Moto G XT1032. I want to unlock bootloader, install recovery, and custom roms because 5.0.2 is slow and laggy.
I heard about some problems if I start at 5.0.2 and doing those things, such as ripple effect, flickering ....
So what I want to ask/confirm:
1. Is doing those thing possible?
2. What are known problems if I do those things at 5.0.2?
3. Problem like ripple, flickering, unlock bootloader warning... only happen in recovery/booting or even when the phone runs?
4. Any risky things such as bootloop and cannot be fixed .....
Thank you very much.
Same Question from me
Hi,
Same Question from me too.
Please someone who has done this, please reply.
I had rooted/flashed many mobiles, but its being increasingly confusing for xt1033 with every new versions of rom / bootloaders and increasing numbers of Bootloop and HARD Bricks described in this forum.....
Please experts, please reply.
Before proceeding, check the Motorola website to make sure the bootloader can be unlocked.
Unlocking the bootloader will also wipe all data and apps from the phone; that is, it will perform a factory reset.
In my experience, phone operations are not be affected by unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery except you cannot install stock OTA updates without stock recovery.
hi guys just wondering if anyone knows how to get a moto g 2015 (16gb) out of bootloader as it is stuck ? the bootloader is locked and i cant get it unlocked due to oem unlock turned off in settings. the phone will not boot up. This happened during a failed attempt of root (big mistake). Would be a big help if anyone knows.
Just reflash firmware images
Found here on xda forum

What root method were you attempting? Kingroot?

Yes i was using kingroot without an unlocked bootloader. Idiotic really. Do you have any solutions ?
Just see this thread, -

Another user had the same problem. The only difference in your case would be your firmware (XT abcd 1/2gb) and no. of sparsechunk files present (must flash them all).

So i was given this phone, well i bought it broken for cheap and managed to fix it, im quite versed in htc/sony/samsung/LG procedures and this was my 1st moto device, i managed to load latest 5.1 image via mfastboot commands, and i found that i need to unlock the bootloader to flash twrp, when i go to bootloader it says device is LOCKED status code 0, does this mean its already unlocked? i went to moto site and did the whole get oem unlock procedure pasted it into the site and it said it cant be unlocked, this is a UK retails handset, any help would be greatly appreciated.
