but my phone version android kitkat 4.4.2
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
try another recovery for a start, and use adb sideloading to flash the zips if there are not on internal storage (though you don"t need to wipe data anymore (regarding the number of times you should have done it before ;) )

i was checked firmware my device is 174.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US

but not listed on http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14

ok, i will try it again....
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bur2000:
The FAQ should probably be updated as the bootimage option does not seem to work with 4.4.2

The recovery method is the only reliable way to root the Moto G. I found this thread to be a very nice tutorial on how to flash CWR and SuperSU binaries. Maybe it should be included in the OP.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
in which way doesn't it work?

i had rooted on 4.4 and it worked well (since then i'm using CM11, so i didn't retried)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perseus:
To my knowledge, going the recovery way would need unlocked bootloader. Bootimage option, does not need one I believe.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bur2000:
The phone does not reboot instead it shows a purple screen for 1-2 seconds, then blank (though backlight is on). I had to long-press Power to switch it off and luckily everything was still working normally. Lots of people seem to experience similar problems, even back in 2013 when it was first posted. Just check some of the replies in this thread.

According to the Modaco thread it does need an unlocked bootloader.

The recovery way takes a little more work, but it seems to be much more reliable. I just rooted my phone that way. Maybe I'll write a small guide.I think XDA should have one on its own... ;)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
I also experienced that, but i assumed it was a normal behavior since this artifact only happens right after rooting and is fixed by a force reboot (and never happen after)

Hello friends, I have a Motorola Moto G and I have a problem.

Came having some problems, so I decided to reset it, return it to factory settings.

After that, it caught the phone without problems, but the problem happened when I get to the part where the language is selected. He started to tell me com.googleapps been arrested and needs to close, also com.phone, same error. As I could not do anything, I decided forcibly close, and after this, the animation ends and boot is a black screen, no more advances.

Notice that it was bought by Amazon, if you must restore firewall and stuff. (Global US GSM)

How to prepare for OTA update?

I'm on latest stock Motorola Asia firmware, XT1033, rooted, with Faux kernel and xposed framework installed.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zerelth:
Ok this is exactly what I've done:

I tried to convert my Moto G to MototoolAIO, so I downloaded it along with the GPe Rom, and then I clicked the Convert to GPe button.

On the fastboot screen, it showed some errors: hab check failed for recovery, hab check failed for boot and Invalid PIV signed system image.

Frightened, I tried to revert it back to the stock rom, luckily I was able to (4.3 JB).

But, the problem I was facing is there was no longer the "Bootloader Unlocked" Warning screen anymore, I thought I flashed the fixed logo.bin, but it wasn't, it's the stock one...but it's not a big deal...While going through the setup wizard, I realized that Wifi cannot be turned on anymore, since the screen showed: Turn on Wi-Fi to see availble networks. Normally it would turn on by itself, but now it didn't...I realized that there was something wrong about it...

Then, I open the Settings and try to turn the Wifi on, but it won't...it will just switch back to the "OFF" position while it should be at the "ON" position and changed to blue, not grey...

I thought there was some error when converting to GPe, so I decided to flash the whole GPe Rom again...using fastboot method...

Finally, I saw the unlocked lock on the bootlogo, and the phone did boot, but it's just the same, the Wi-Fi now is stuck at the "ON" position, while not turning blue, it just stay greyed...

Then, I dial *#*#4636#*#* to see how the wifi is, and there are some lines:

Wi-Fi state: DISABLED

...

Supplicant state: UNINITIALIZED

Idk what to do now, please help :((

Hey guys, I'm having trouble with my Moto G. I can't flash roms, it just goes to the logo of said rom (CM, Slimkat) and just stays there. This seems to be a common problem on Moto Gs and I've tried all the fixes that have been supplied, such as restoring stock then reroot etc. Please can I have a hand? Thanks in advance.

P.S I'm not exactly a noob to this since I've rooted and have custom roms on 4 devices already, however they are all Samsung, so this is sorta new to me.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
Which model?

Before flashing, make sure to format /data, /system and /cache; then install rom + gapps (i'm not sure CM can boot without it); and never restore any backup.

If it still loops for more than 10 minutes, then force reboot and reflash rom + gapps : it works in some cases.

Hope it helps :)

With so few things i can't help...

Does it charge? if yes you may be able to force boot into fastboot mode (keep pressed power + vol_down and then release) ==> you should be able to acces it with adb now

If it does charge plug it to wall charger, then press power for 120+ seconds
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrbl:
It has a problem with bootingup. After the boot animation the screen goes into dark blue and it turns off. It can get to recovery mode. I want to repair this phone and I was thinking that flashin a stock rom will help out and make the phone usable. But I don't know if the developer setting are on. Can flash enything via recovery or adb without developer setings enabled ?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
Sorry misread.

what was your ROM before the issue?

Boot into fastboot mode and follow this guide to flash stock firmware (take care that you choose the right firmware for your specific device AND remember that all your data will be erased)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrbl:
Data is not a problem. I'm asking because I can get that moto G for cheap and repair it for myself ;) because my friend has bought another phone. Currently I'm trying to get info on possible previous problems.

Tried that, no luck. Any other ideas? Oh and btw, I know from experience CM can boot w/o gapps installed, when I found out I need to flash them separately on my first time CM flash.

1) If I understand your question..

2) If your device is Rooted..

One could Titanium BackUp Pro (backup)..and even transfer to a computer also for safe keeping..I'm absolutely no gamer, but that's what makes since to me..do a Titanium backup..

If your device is not Rooted..then thru the game, one may can save the game results with a cloud account..but I don't know that for sure..

Hi Guys,

New Moto G user here !!

I have the XT1033 model which I purchased from Flipkart (India).

Of course it's the dual sim version.

I am on stock 4.4.2 without any modifications. (no unlocked bootloader, no root).

But, i wish to flash the latest PA build (been using it on my XT910 for over a year now)

i have never used/rooted/flashed any dual sim mobile before.

Can someone guide me with the process? and also, If i flash new recovery or rom, do i retain the dual sim functionality or only one will work?

(i'm asking as i couldn't find any specific mention of 1033 version)

Thanks, all the help will be appreciated,

Hi. I got my moto G a few weeks ago, and noticed most of the rooting guides here are old (4.3) or not clear enough for a newcomer to motorola devices (coming from, say, samsung phones). So I looked for some other guide and found this one, quite explained and up to date for 4.4.2, I don't know if it works for 4.4.3... anyway, I think it'd be a good addition to the bootloader unlocking + removing boot warning / rooting + recovery part, all in one.

Bootlocker unlock is fairly easy. You only have to type some stuff in the command line.

For all the stuff you'll need ADB and stuff witch you can find on the forum.

Removing the warning is flashing an other motorola boot logo or something.
