So listen you cherry pies, I'm a flashoholic, just got my Moto G a few days ago, thought I'll never have to root but am already thinking about reflashing this mother****er.
For now, as CM11 seems to be miserably unstable, I'm leaning towards going GPE on my Tesco UK Moto G.
But, I like some of the motorola services: one so in particular - the remote wipe/lock/etc. in case of phone being stolen.
So the questions are:
If I flash the GPE rom to my non-gpe Moto G, will I be able to receive OTA updates?
Let's say I've flashed CM11. Now I want to go back to stock firmware. If I do so, will I be able to use Motorola apps such as Assist, and more importantly, use the remote wipe/lock feature?
Is it possible to re-lock bootloader, like restoring the whole device's software to its OOB state?
Thanks!
Oh and just to clarify:
can I use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 guide to flash KOT49H (GPE) firmware on my Tesco UK Moto G?
Please, anyone?
1. If you flash gpe rom, your system files would be modified. You will further not receive any updates from Motorola moto G but will be eligible for updates from Google GPE.
2.Definitely yes, flashing a rom modifies only software not hardware so as soon as you will be back to stock moto OS, the moto apps will start supporting your device and most probably your rom.
3. You may be able to relock your boot loader but your warranty will be void. Whenever anyone unlock its boot loader it communicates with moto site to get unlock key and at very time loses its warranty.
You can try that method but maintain all precautions and do have a backup.
Thank you so much!
Hi guys, I'm kinda lost by now.
I tried to root my Moto G 1st Gen today, but whenever it was supposed to reboot again after to rooting process, I got the "dead" android with the no command warning. So I tried to some alternatives with the only result that my phone is now stuck in a bootloop. Luckily I can still access the bootloader menu, but when I try flash back to the firmware, I get the hab "check failed for boot" and recovery message, with the result that it doesn't work and I'm still in the same situation. I guess I have the wrong firmware but I can't seem to find the correct 1st gen xt1034 firmware for a german phone.
So yeah, if you could help me, that would be reaaaaally great, and if you need some additional information, I'll try my best to find it out.
Cheers
Hi,
you are sure you have an xt1034 german phone? From what I read, the xt1034 is special to America, so you should find your answer here. Good luck on reviving your phone!
Hello, im looking for a compatable twrp recovery for my lg g stylo(h634) which is the cricket version of the stylo. Anyone know of one i could use? Or any custom recovery that would work cause at the moment this phone has no recovery, not even a stock one.
The phone has a stock "recovery" just not the usual like Samsung's etc. Just an option to hard reset. There's a twrp for the T-Mobile and Metro pcs variants, not sure about the others. Just Google LG G Stylo Android forums, they have a dedicated forum for this device. I'm using a custom Rom from there.
No stock recovery LG G Stylo Cricket wireless
I thought I was going crazy I'm glad you are another user that confirmed there is no recovery at all on the Cricket Wireless LG G Stylo there is no support neither.

You're asking about the Moto G Stylus 2021. This section is about the
Moto G Stylus 2020 (Moto G Pro).

Motorola has introduced its Moto G Stylus 5G. It costs $100 more than the 4G model but has better specs and, of course, 5G connectivity.
www.xda-developers.com
Just picked one up tonight. Fingers crossed on devs coming over. Cheers
Just got one over a week ago, so far I have root w/ lsposed, This "Moto G Stylus 5G" section is technically the thread for this device, but I see most of the 5G users using the "Moto G Stylus 2021" section or "Moto G Stylus 2020 (Moto G Pro)" section, so make sure to look at those sections for community tools and roms that may support this device.
Bought a 5G Stylus a couple weeks ago it's nice finally having a moto phone that doesn't destroy fine details due to heavy noise filtering on the main rear camera, the ultra wide cam isn't so great quality wise but it can take some interesting shots at least.
I'd still like to see what a Gcam port would be like, it did wonders for my previous G7 Power's camera abilities.
You can get the Cam2 API enabler magisk module and get Open Camera, it works better than any gcam version I could find, pretty good zoom control.
EDIT: Make sure to enable Cam2 API in Open Camera's settings
Definitely a device worth working on. I will for sure help out where I can.
Please help. I am currently attempting to root my device. And flash stock rom I am using an adb software bugjaeger. I'm newewwww don't know what to doooooo

Are you serious?! That's the whole reason T-Mobile forced me to buy it.

If the "moto stylus G...XT2131-1" is this forum's Moto G Stylus 5G (2021), then the phone doesn't yet support 5G either; ATT calls their 5GExtended 5G, it is not. they appear to be moving toward true 5g this year sometime, but their "5G" is 4G+tweaking. T-Mobile network does support true 5G
from motorola page, Moto G Stylus 5G (2021):
Device not compatible with all networks; compatible with T-Mobile® 4G and 5G, Verizon® 4G and 5G, and AT&T® 4G networks.
I cannot find a TWRP that specifies it can work with this device, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2021).
is there a safe version, or are the 5G owners waiting? I hadn't seen any TWRP that listed any Moto stylus models of past few years either.
Related: I'm getting ready to move my apps/settings/data from my current G7 Power, to this new Stylus 5G. While I am able to backup all except system via ADB to my computer, I had read the bridge is not as stable or reliable as it had been, especially on restore.
Is there a comparable tool that can be used like ADB, without unlocking bootloader or rooting?
Thus I started looking at TWRP and how to go about rooting (either of my Motos, G7 or Stylus 5G). Peeling through the onion, I have seen several notes that unlocking the phone bootloader will wipe all the data. Is this true? If so, it changes the process a bit.
Having the bootloader unlocked appears to be requirement of rooting, if not please correct me. I want to root the phone so that full backups w/app data, and other maintenance are available.

Unlocking bootloader wipes phone on every phone I've ever had.
I love this phone so much!! It would be a 10 outta 10 if I can use custom fonts

Hi - I just got this phone, and I like it. Its stock for now, been a minute since I rooted and rommed a phone.
But -
How do i format the SD card as internal storage??
Also, how do I swap the back/recent buttons? They're backwards from how I've been using them for a decade or more and it's pissing me off that I open my recent apps every time I mean to go backward...
Thanks in advance for the reply!
