[SIZE=+3]Frequently Asked Questions[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]Motorola Moto G 2015 [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]a.k.a Moto G3[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: Which Moto G 2015 variant do I own?[/SIZE]To find out which variant you own, power off your phone. Now, hold down power+vol. down at the same time. You are now in bootloader mode; look for the fourth line down beginning "Product/Variant:". The code beginning "XT" (e.g. XT1541") is your variant. Press the power button once to reboot.
The following is a list of all the regional variants. See the original source below for frequency band support:
XT1540: Single-SIM (Retail US | Canada (Telus) | Latin America (Tigo, Movistar Mexico))
XT1541: Single-SIM (Retail EU | GB | SP | FR | GER)
XT1542: Single-SIM (Retail Latin America (Movistar Columbia))
XT1543: Dual-SIM (Retail Brazil | Latin America)
XT1544: Dual-SIM with Digital TV (HDTV) (Retail Brazil | Latin America)
XT1548: Single-SIM (US - CDMA Prepaid)
XT1550: Dual-SIM (Retail Asia | India)
XT1556: Dual-SIM (Turbo Edition)
Source: Variants of Moto G (3rd Gen), @lost101
[SIZE=+1]Q2: Where's the Notification LED? Is it hidden, and how do I enable it?[/SIZE]As with previous Moto G versions, there is a hidden LED under the plastic earpiece in the top bezel.
You can enable it as a charging LED only using this root app. No progress seems to have been made to enable notification lights yet.
[SIZE=+1]Q3: What sensors are in my Moto G?[/SIZE]Main sensors inside:
Dual Accelerometer
Magnetic field sensor
Orientation sensor
Ambient light sensor
Proximity sensor
Major sensors missing:
Gyroscope
The main functionality missing due to the lack of gyroscope is Photosphere.
[SIZE=+1]Q4: Can I use a 64GB+ MicroSD card?[/SIZE]Yes, as long as it's formatted to FAT32.
[SIZE=+1]Q5: How do I unlock my bootloader? Is this safe?[/SIZE]Firstly, you need the Android SDK installed to use fastboot. I will not tell you how to do this here as many guides exist on XDA already.
Unlocking your bootloader voids the warranty. Other than that, the warnings Motorola gives mainly pertain to what you may do to your advice after unlocking the bootloader, for example flashing TWRP then flashing random stuff you don't understand. Unlocking the bootloader itself will not harm your device (I don't have room for a discussion of exploits here).
To actually unlock your bootloader, simply follow the Motorola guide. The process includes receiving an unlock code from Motorola, therefore do not bother following any other unofficial guides.
[SIZE=+1]Q6: How do I install TWRP to flash fun things like ROMs?[/SIZE]To begin flashing ROMs and kernels, etc., you need TWRP which is a custom recovery for Android. Read this and have a look at the TWRP website for more info if you are unsure at this point.
First of all you must follow Q3 above to unlock your bootloader. Once unlocked, read on...
Thanks to @squid2 you simply need to download his compiled image and flash using fastboot. Proceed to his thread here to download the latest binary build, "twrp-osprey-2.8.7-r4.img", from the "Downloads" tab, then follow his instructions for flashing the recovery.
A word of advice: I strongly recommend temporarily booting any images (be it recoveries or kernels) you are about to flash to your device. This is simply a case of using the command "fastboot boot blahblah.img" whether blahblah.img is a recovery or kernel.
There are many ways to boot into recovery. Firstly you can boot into bootloader with power+vol. down then select recovery with the volume buttons and press power to boot; The command "adb reboot recovery" on your computer if you have adb set up; By installing a terminal emulator from the market, then typing the commands "su" followed by "reboot recovery"; There are reboot apps on the market with advanced boot options also.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: How do I root my Moto G?[/SIZE]This is primarily for stock ROM users as I believe most custom ROMs are rooted by default.
First of all you must follow Q3 and Q4 (in that order) to unlock your bootloader and flash TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, read on...
Download SuperSU here and place on internal storage or microSD card. Take a look here for more info on SuperSU. Now simply boot to recovery (see Q5) and flash the zip by pressing the "Install" button and locating the SuperSU zip file. Now reboot and open the SuperSU app.
[SIZE=+1]Q8: I need a factory image (stock rom)! Where can I find these?[/SIZE]Look in @lost101's thread, [INDEX][Osprey] Moto G Factory Firmware Images, and refer to Q1 above to find out which one you need.
[SIZE=+1]Q9: My Moto G is quiet, how do I boost the volume?[/SIZE]Refer to @hp420's thread: [Mod] Native volume boost - no apps needed! mixer_paths.xml
[SIZE=+1]Q10: Where can I find custom ROMs and kernels?[/SIZE]Check out my own Osprey Oracle.

Thanks for the thread. Is there one for "tips" possibly ? I'm wondering for instance if there's a way to use either of the two gestures to launch other apps than the Flashlight or the camera. Like turning the G3 on and off for instance, thanks!

Not yet, all questions have to be asked in a new thread at the moment. Might make a help thread in the future but certainly no time right now, I'll speak to other RCs/ mods to check that's the way forward though or if they'd rather stick to just making new threads for every question.
This thread is not meant as a tips thread though. I may add a few if they're oft-requested however.
As for your q I'm not sure, the moto app can't but check out lmt gestures and other 3rd party gesture apps. The dual accelerometer thing is quite unique however so you may not find anything.
I recently purchased a XT1541 for my wife.
I always had rooted phones for apps like Greenify and AdAway. My OnePlus One has an unlocked bootloader, but is still under warranty.
So my quick and dirty question. Seems to me that there's NO way to gain root access on a Moto G3 without unlocking its bootloader (and voiding warranty). Is it true? Anyone can confirm that?
Thank to all of you and a happy new year!

This thread isn't a help thread, please post questions as a new thread in this forum. A quick Google would show you can't root without unlocking the bootloader as the kernel is too new for exploits such as towel root.
So yes, unlock the bootloader using the steps in the op.
please delete this post. ty
One question
I want to make custom roms for our device. Well we have cm roms and I really appreciate the work done by the devs.
I can not root my device because its my parents phone so they will not allow me.
Wanna ask anybody can test my builds?
EDIT: I think cm is good enough. Because everyone loves cyanogeod more then any other roms like omni slims etc.
Apologies for posting this.
Regards
FireLord
Why CM?
We have CM already for our device!
Probably you better try MUI 7.1 or LeWa OS, something different based on Stock ROM is welcome!
And you have my help for that if you want!

Thanks for your reply. The TWRP is 3.0. It looks like the supersu will modify the system files, I flash a wrong version of supersu. Now, I just flash a stock rom.

Moto G4 Plus Factory Firmware Images
Please report broken links. New Mirrors welcome!
WARNING: Flashing a Firmware Image is not a safe way to downgrade.
How to flash:
[GUIDE] Moto G4 Plus Newbie Thread - Restore stock firmware
No longer maintained. Removed content.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I restore Factory Firmware if my Bootloader is locked?
Yes. However attempting to downgrade to an older version of Android may fail. Even with an unlocked Bootloader, downgrading cannot be guaranteed. It's also important to be aware that flashing the wrong Bootloader for your model can have serious consequences. Always establish your model of Moto G4 Plus before flashing.
What does 'Preflash Validation Failed' mean?
'Preflash Validation Failure' happens when the Firmware Image you are flashing is older than one you have previously flashed.
After flashing Firmware Image files phone gets stuck during boot-up | will not load Android?
Refer to the guide. Check you are naming the files correctly, and make sure you are flashing all of the 'sparsechunk' files - not just those mentioned in the tutorial. The 'sparsechunk' commands listed there are not to be copied exactly, different firmware images have different files.
Downgrading and OTA Updates
If you downgrade, it is advised to avoid all OTA Updates. These updates can result in a hard-brick (phone will not turn on) if you have a newer Bootloader than the one expected.
This thread was made with a reason so people can easily find their stock rom links. Everyone is welcome to help. Please state your model/carrier and post the link here. I will add it to OP. Thanks!
@yeshwanthvshenoy, many firmwares available at Moto G4 firmware page. Even better part is that the links of downloadmirror are pretty damn good too speed-wise.. add these URLs too and give proper credit.

@itskapil I already made a list of firmwares and their models but I need some people to test and tell me. I can't post just with some assumptions. I have links of filefactory only. Maybe people can look that site as an alternative.
General Filefactory folder with a bunch of stock ROMs: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=DESC&show=25
There are some things that are really confusing me, both in this Filefactory folder and the ROMs posted in the OP. For example:
XT1641-XT1643_ATHENE_6.0.1_MPJ24.139-13.3_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
The XT1641 is the Canadian / Mexican G4 Plus, while the XT1643 is the Indian G4 Plus. Both device have two different sets of radio bands (for example, the XT1641 has HSPA Band 2/4 and LTE Bands 12/17, while the Indian model lacks those but has LTE Bands 1, 8, and 40, among other differences). So, if one were to flash this ROM, would they be flashing the Canadian/Mexican modem, or the Indian modem?
Similarly, there this file:
XT1621-XT1622-XT1642_ATHENE_MPJ24.139-23.4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
The XT1621 is the Canadian/Mexican G4, while the XT1622 and the XT1642 are the European G4 and G4 Plus, respectively. Again, the two regional models have different bands enabled, so if you were to flash it, would you be flashing the Canadian/Mexican modem, or the European modem?
I'm not surprised that G4 and G4 Plus images are combined for the same region, (such as XT1625-XT1644_ATHENE-RETUS_MPJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip, which is the US G4 and G4 Plus), but these other images that have model numbers for different region devices with different modems is confusing me.
would you happen to have the xt1644 firmware?

It's intended for the US models, XT1625-XT1644 RETUS. The US models launched with MPJ24.139-48, this is an incremental update, MPJ24.139-49. The changelog was just "improved call quality". You may be able to flash it on the Indian model, but be sure not to flash the US model's modem, as it has different sets of bands enabled.

I currently build 64bit LineageOS for the LG K20 Plus which is extremely similar to the LG K30 Plus. I would like to start supporting the LG K30 but I don't have the device or know anyone with it to pull stock configs from. If you have an LG K30 and want to see custom ROMs brought to it, please send me a message or respond to this thread and I'll do what I can to get you hooked up with LineageOS.
I have an LG K30. I actually recently contacted the admins about adding the forum section for it. I'd be willing to do whatever you need.

It will need 3 pages worth of threads before it gets its own forum. We don't even have one for the K20 Plus yet and I've been developing for it for months. Anyways if you could look up my K20 plus lineage thread and message me on Telegram. I'll be happy to get some device specific info from you so I can build twrp without risking breaking your phone. Thank you in advance. I want to help your device get a swift start on custom software
I will contribute whatever I can to help you with a custom recovery for the k30. Any filesystem dumps or any other info you may need. I acquired this phone yesterday and would like to see some devs become interested in this model.

I'll make twrp for it when I get home tonight.
Is there anything that I can do to help?
I too am willing to help out anyway that I can. I also have Telegram if anybody is interested in working further there as well.
Once/if a bootloader unlock method is established for this device, I have TWRP built for the K30. So once somebody manages to bootloader unlock this device, PM me on here or on Telegram and I'll send you the recovery.IMG and the install instructions I know of. However I'm not sure how this will be possible with a non-removable battery.
I haven't unlocked the bootloader for my k30 yet.. but I'll update when it is unlocked.

Just got a 150mb update today. Havnt took it yet. Trying to locate the file and poke around.
LG will most likely be pushing out an Oreo update for this device, the K20 plus and stylo 3 plus were included in the Stylo 4 plus kernel source (the stylo 2 plus was removed). However with this device having a non user-removable battery it may never see an official bootloader unlock method

Just thought I'd let you know, holding the power button and volume down button simulates a battery pull.
Anyone think it's possible to root through lg up tot file like the LG V10 got root initially
I have recently acquired a carrier unlocked Motorola G Stylus 5G 2022 (XT2215-4) and have successfully unlocked the boot loader.
I have been looking for TWRP recovery files/images for my device but have been unsuccessful up to this point. I am considering compiling some from source, if need be, at which point I will likely compile lineage from some source for it as well.
Does anyone know if the 2021 (Denver/Osaka) models can or should be used as a template for attempting this? Additionally is anyone looking into porting to this device? I am a bit new to this and wouldn't mind a bit of assistance.
Thanks!
Just got the device the other day but haven't bootloader unlocked it. I'm assuming due to the different processor alone it's likely we'll need our own device tree. I haven't really done that stuff before but maybe if we get a Telegram group going we could get some Moto vets to help out maybe?
I have been able to extract the dtb.* files from the firmware's dtbo.img however I have not attempted to compile it into the dts.img via the dtc utiliity like many of the tutorials on the subject say you need to do. This is because none of the ones I found say anything about having to deal with multiple dtb files like the ones I was presented with when I extracted the dtbo.img from the device firmware. I didnt want to try it and have it be totally wrong.
On the motorola github I have posted an issue requesting the release of the kernel, device tree, and any other pertinent files, pertaining to the stock firmware for the XT2215-4. Hopefully they come back in an reasonable time so that I can move forward with compiling Lineage OS for it.
Rooting:
Once you get the bootloader unlocked, you can root it by flashing the boot.img that has been patched with Magisk using fastboot. Perhaps Ill post a step by step guide for this for the XT2215-4 in the next day or so.

This is a mediatek phone, you will have to wait on the Milan files from Moto directly, and last I checked they haven't released the tree yet.

XT2215-4 is not mediatek it's Qualcomm snapdragon SDM695 w same sm6375 chipset as the xiaomi note 11 Pro, I would rather have Orange box recovery cuz I'm spooled to the OTA update block, I was about to bust out studio and Android kitchen myself and see if I could Port it from the xiaomi note 11 Pro but I know the kernel going to have different drivers as the 11 pro has a lot better camera like 100 megapixel versus 50 megapixel a few other small details different LTE bands.. maybe enough to just swap the kernels out and Android kitchen to get a buggy twrp up in there interim as we're I'm waiting the kernel ource code and devised tree Moto has only posted like three of their 12 devices I was about to supposed to request when I saw his already posted I'll try to back him up maybe if we bug the crap out of them the xiaomi people had to do that.. they have ricedroid, PE, lineage evolution x, Sapphire, and arrow all kinds of ROMs for the same chipset Xiaomi note 11 pro / Poco note 4 (apparently the Paco is the same device just different country branded and somehow it's the only one that's allowed to play like pubg battlegrounds and stuff cuz they're trying to push the pacos or whatever) i ran across it all in the telegram and I still don't think they have gotten their source code yet. I'm not sure how they even ported all this. Because the telegram thread with all the ROMs I was looking at ror porting and still requesting people to spam xiaomi' about releasing the source

XT2215-4 is not mediatek it's Qualcomm snapdragon SDM695 w same sm6375 chipset as the xiaomi note 11 Pro, I would rather have Orange box recovery cuz I'm spooled to the OTA update block, I was about to bust out studio and Android kitchen myself and see if I could Port it from the xiaomi note 11 Pro but I know the kernel going to have different drivers as the 11 pro has a lot better camera like 100 megapixel versus 50 megapixel a few other small details different LTE bands.. maybe enough to just swap the kernels out and Android kitchen to get a buggy twrp up in there interim as we're I'm waiting the kernel ource code and devised tree Moto has only posted like three of their 12 devices I was about to supposed to request when I saw his already posted I'll try to back him up maybe if we bug the crap out of them the xiaomi people had to do that.. they have ricedroid, PE, lineage evolution x, Sapphire, and arrow all kinds of ROMs for the same chipset Xiaomi note 11 pro / Poco note 4 (apparently the Paco is the same device just different country branded and somehow it's the only one that's allowed to play like pubg battlegrounds and stuff cuz they're trying to push the pacos or whatever) i ran across it all in the telegram and I still don't think they have gotten their source code yet. I'm not sure how they even ported all this. Because the telegram thread with all the ROMs I was looking at ror porting and still requesting people to spam xiaomi' about releasing the source

I have a Mediatek variant. I have CPU-Z as a confirmation. I also have made it quite clear in my guides that I have a Factory Unlocked version purchased from Best Buy. So I'm on Milan, Mediatek Helio P65 MT6768 board.
It would behoove you to read and do research before spouting out unconfirmed information.

I'm unclear what you are responding to. My xt2215-4 is also qualcomm. It also reports the board as holi. Mine was also purchased carrier unlocked from best buy. After sifting through the internal guts of the rom after super and partitions inside have been extracted, it's def a qualcomm device. What is your model # ?
I have also rebuilt the super image to use a GSI rom but I cannot seem to get service fully functional. If anyone would like to help me work on it, join my Telegram Android group and let me know. I have twrp built but also need some help getting the touchscreen script working as well as usb functioning. I know my device is using a Novatek screen as repoted by fastboot getvar all

You could wait for Moto to release the trees. Nobody's made a request so that could be the delay.

I'm responding to your original post where you insinuated I didn't have a Mediatek device, which I do. I think the issue is, I thought you were referring to my G Stylus 2022, which is
Moto G Stylus (2022) XT-2211 Mediatek Variant.and not the 2215.
Hello everyone! I've read several of the posts in here to understand the different procedures (newbie here on xiami things). I've got the Peux version, which doesn't have the MIUI14 released yet. From this, I've got questions for everyone here.
For the ROM part
1) Is it worth it to change the region to Global for the updates?
2) Can you tell me about your experience with the XiaoMiTool V2?
3) Is it better to do all steps as stated in the How-to guides?
For the Firmware part
I just checked, and in the firmware, there is already the V14 for Redmi Note 11 Pro/Pro+/Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G/Xiaomi 11i 5G/Hypercharge, India version, which I assume is my phone.
But, if the firmware is V14, will it update everything in my phone but the MIUI? Or if this is a misconception, I think I haven't fully understood the difference between firmware and ROM. (I'm reading from Firmware V14.0.3.0.TKTINXM)
Thank you all for your help to teach this newbie.
2) Can you tell me about your experience with the XiaoMiTool V2
This tool is unofficial, use Xiaomi official tools.
For a precise answer, please indicate the model of your device (my phone/characteristics/model).
Example:2201116SG, 2201116SR, 2201116SC, 2201116PG,21091116C.
Thank you for your answer!
If I get it then, as an unofficial app, is it wholly discouraged?
My phone's model is 2201116SI

One more question: Soc Mediatek or Qualcomm?
Edit:
Currently no Miui 14 Android 13
If you want to change version:
1/
Unlock bootloader
Xiaomi Community
new.c.mi.com
Apply for unlocking Mi devices
en.miui.com
2/use Miflash with a fastboot rom (TGZ).
(I'm reading from Firmware V14.0.3.0.TKTINXM)not for your device!!!

I really thought that because of the V14.0.3.0.TKTINXM it was for mine. I think I don't yet get how the firmware work then.
Qualcomm SD695
I do get how to change. My real question is about security, benefits, and updates. I understand that changing ROM region is a risk, so I want to evaluate and advice in order to do so.
This firmware (to simplify: serves to make the connection with the hardware), which is specific to each model is for a Xiaomi 11i / Hypercharge India, code name (pissarro).
The basis of the stock rom is the same, the only differences are:
Themes, GDPR/GDPR for the EEA, call recorder for Indonesian/Taiwan, and some region-specific apps.
You can re-lock the bootloader on all versions except Chinese.
The missing 4g bands on your version will always be missing regardless of the version you install.
The only risk is you.
Thank you so much NOSS8 for your answer! I think I will change to the global version just to get the MIUI14 updates.
Thanks for explaining firmware, and throwing in the 4G bands part (which was a concern too).
Thankks!!!
I know this has already been answered but I wanted to drop a quick tip;
You shouldn't search for firmwares based on market names cause Xiaomi uses similar market names for different devices in different countries. You should instead use device codenames.
The rom you were planning to flash was for "pissarro" and it's a different device entirely.
The device you have is "veux" , the Indian version might be called "peux" but you don't have to think to worry about the codename differences, it's inherently the same device, the only difference is it lacks NFC and Xiaomi has been doing this thing for a long time, releasing variants with slight hardware differences depending on the regional market, they also build the same rom that's flashable on both variants of the devices (nfc/non-nfc model).
You can flash Global Miui 14 whenever they release it for this device, there won't be any problems except that you won't be able to pass the safetynet whether you lock the bootloader or not, you'll have to rely on the safetynetfix Magisk module from Displax to pass the safetynet.
