I know you can't flash retus without an unlocked bootloader but I didn't know if cross carrier flashing would work with stock firmware?
Thanks in advance
I don't believe that to be the case but I could be wrong

I got the Moto G from Kodoo. I've unlocked the bootloader, was now wondering whether flashing the US Global firmware version would cause problems? Wanted to flash the US firmware so I could then apply the OTA update for 4.4.2
Hi Guys,
I just received the XT1033 Lollipop notification and clicked upgrade.... Unfortunately the upgrade failed and I suspect perhaps that's because I have clockworkmod installed instead of the stock recovery?
Where do I go from here? How do I get my phone so the upgrade installs successfully?
I'm in New Zealand if that matters. Not sure if you get a different OTA update per country?
Also note, the phone is still working fine (ie not bricked or anything), just the upgrade is failing to install
Flash a stock ROM or gpe and upgrade from there.
Sent from my XT1039 using XDA Free mobile app
Which ROM, does it matter?
I keep seeing stock roms for Brazil/India/Asia, but I live in NZ so I'm not sure what to install. There doesn't seem to be any NZ roms
Plus none of the links in "how to restore to stock" tutorials and faq's seem to work anymore
Can you point me in the right direction please?
You can still install official lollipop if your phone has bootloader unlocked and custom recovery but I would suggest starting from scratch. If you bought phone from anywhere in Asia then flash stock asian KitKat ROM and if you bought it from Brazil then flash stock Brazilian KitKat rom. After that you can update your phone to official lollipop.
PS- there is no NZ ROMs for xt1033. Only Asian and Brazilian. It depends on the region from where you buy the phone, not where you live.
I bought it in NZ...
Aha! I found in the phone settings it says 210.12.40.falcon_umtsds.AsiaRetail.en.03
Asia rom it is then, I'll go try it out

You should not need to unlock bootloader to flash the fastboot firmware image.

Unlocking your bootloader does not affect your eligibility for OTA
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/91999/p/1449,8620
What does affect your OTA eligibility is your root and the custom recovery. First unroot using super su app and then flash stock recovery.
Am I right in assuming you are on stock ROM?

Unlocked bootloader is no problem for ota, flash twrp backup for stock rom when you first enter twrp( if you take back up ) and reboot, then flash stock recovery via fastboot ,then you can unroot and get ota without problem, refer this in xda. Otherwise Flash stock firmware and get ota.
You can update to 6.0 with an unlocked bootloader, but you can't update to 6.0 with a rooted device. Fastboot your stock ROM and then take the OTA. No need to relock the bootloader.

I noticed its the wrong forum. apologies.
no. i was on U firmware from my previous ATT firmware version without unlocking the bootloader (and i think that is impossible for US version) and without modifying anything.
I was able to successfully flash G930U firmware on G930V phone using Odin. didnt need to open anything or to do modifications prior to flashing.
Yep, stock firmware doesn't require an unlocked bootloader unless you're downgrading. The snapdragon models also can't be bootloader unlocked anyway.
I was hoping someone could help me out. I have a Korean firmware Galaxy Note 10, i have scoured through the internet trying to find a solution or a flashable firmware to change it back to the UK firmware, to my recollection they both have the same processor.
I have gone as far as rooting so that it could open some doors in terms of reverting back to the UK firmware. i was wondering if anyone could help.
Everytime i tried flashing the UK firmware using Odin it would say the bootloader is locked, however i did unlock the bootloader before attempting to flash the firmware.
Maybe the UK firmware you trynna install is older than the one you already have? Maybe it's preventing flash for such Security reasons?
Tried flashing bootloader only?
Firmware without bootloader?

would you know where i would be able to obtain the firmware?
You can't install Uk firmware onto n976n, this model has only 4 CSC available and all of them Korean.
