My device is XT1032 GPE Lollipop 5.1 Unlocked and rooted and latest bootloader but I can not install any other 5.** Stock and Custom Rom. I can install 4.** Stock and Custom Rom without problem.

I tried to re-flash the stock kitkat Rom and install Lollipop Rom but I could not install Lollipop base Rom and updated to the Lollipop through the OTA from Kitkat Rom but it did not work. Still can not install Lollipop base Rom. Does someone has the same problem?

Hi! I am using a Moto G XT1033 bootloader unlocked and with PacMan ROM the latest beta.

Now the ROM is lagging a lot for me. I wish to switch ROMs but I don't want to wipe my data as it can not be recovered again. (I have an app with about 2GB of data and there is no way to get back after wipe) I have 2 questions now:

1. If I take a backup using Twrp will it backup all the things in my memory(for eg Music)?

2. Is there any way to go back to stock ROM without wiping the data?

2.1 If not then can I switch to ANY other ROM without wiping data? (I think PacMan is based on CM)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TripleMax:
TWRP will backup all system but it's not for your new Rom. You can not restore from this backup on to your new Rom.

You should use Titanium backup for backup your apps and data. You can restore from it on to your new Rom.

You can go back to the stock Rom but only flashable zip. Not fastboot flash (It will erase everything from your phone).

You can try to install PacMan Rom again without any wipe before try new Rom (Install Rom and SuperSU (You should install gapps. If the gapps not working correctly).

Perhaps a new FAQ entry relating to Brightness issue would be useful.

I reduced brightness to 0 and got stuck with a black screen?

This appears to be a bug in 'Adaptive brightness.' Turning it off and on should stop this happening.

If you are in this situation, try shining a torch light on the screen at an angle to make out the very dim display. You can also try swiping down the 'quick toggle' notification menu and changing brightness via the sliding bar. [Source]​

The reddit thread suggests this issue effects all variants of Moto G as well as other phones.

Hi, my microphone volume has gone down a buttload for some reason, and I can't think of a reason why. I did notice after the first time someone told me that some dust particle was in the microphone hole, which I tried to remove with a pin, to no avail. As far as I know it's still in there, but when I tried to make a call with a headset mic, it was just as soft, which leads me to think it's a software issue. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution? I've seen some threads floating around the web but never with a satisfactory answer. I'm running stock 5.0.2 on a european XT1032 GPE, it only started happening a while after updating from stock 4.4.4. Factory reset hasn't fixed it (unless it got messed up again by my reinstalling apps and using settings tied to my account)

xt1034, no reception

I have a xt1034 and no reception with working sim card (working on Nexus 4). I have tried various ROMS, GPE, Bliss, Stock etc. I also tried another SIM from stock xt1034 (never flashed). I have reflashed the radio again to be xt1034 based on the other threads on XDA. Also lots of factory resets.

There is no reception, and I can't add any APN. If try to create an APN, it doesn't appear on the list. The APN list is always empty for all the ROMs I've used. Scanning for networks brings up ATT and TMobile, but I can't connect to either one. My SIM is for TMobile and works in my Nexus4.

Any thoughts on what I should try to get reception working? I have tried reflashing to Stock xt1034 ROM, reflashed various radio, even tried GPE again, but nothing seems to bring reception back.

Stuck on TWRP screen

I rooted my Moto g- XT1033 & installed a custom recovery (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-falcon_umts.img). Before installing CyanogenMod 12.1, I took a back up of original ROM & when it was completed, the phone fails to reboot. Thereafter, every time I try to reboot it, it shows the unlocked bootloader warning again & again & fails to reboot. I can reboot into fastboot mode but upon selecting "Normal Powerup" the same thing happens again & again. While upon selecting recovery mode, it gets stuck at initial logo screen of TWRP where it is written TEAMWIN.

Upon connecting phone using USB in fastboot mode, the command 'fastboot devices' do return a no.

Fastboot should work in your case. Check your drivers/cable.

Also you may want to try this:

1. Find a stock factory image for

your

phone.

2. Install RSD Lite

3. While phone in fastboot and USB-connected to your PC RSD lite should see your phone as S flash or something similar

4. Flash factory image

You should be able to boot into stock ROM.

There must be another way...

I am also having the same issue. I am currently running CM12.1 Oct 5th nightly with TWRP for recovery and I do not want to restore the original firmware for my XT1034 (Wind Mobile - Canada). I just want to lock the bootloader for security reasons... Having the bootloader unlocked is like an open door, no? What happens if someone loses their phone? All of their local data can be copied to a computer from recovery. Is there no way to lock the bootloader for the Moto G without having to restore the original factory images from Motorola? There must be a way...

I have been searching for an answer to this for hours only to find that the only apparent resolution to lock the bootloader is to restore all of the Motorola factory images, which is what I definitely do not want to do... :(

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I have the same issue here... I don't want to restore the factory Motorola firmware just to lock the bootloader... I don't want to be walking around with an unlocked bootloader either... I am running CM12.1 Oct 5th nightly with TWRP. I have looked everywhere for a solution to lock the bootloader on the XT1034 with a custom ROM installed, but after hours of searching, I keep seeing the same "restore Motorola factory image" solutions. There has to be a way to lock this friggin bootloader with Cyanogen installed...

Please let me know if you find anything out.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Os_A:
IMHO you need to flash factory image (full image, not ROM) of your XT1034. You'll find a thread for that. You'll need RSD Lite or mfastboot add-on to ADB platfrom tools to do this. This should restore radio unless you have faulty hardware. Note that this will erase everything on your phone including custom recovery. You'll have to start all over from scratch

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
Your question is irrelevent -on Android-, as you cannot mess with the partition table, /system cannot be increased/decreased easily meaning that a "smaller" ROM won't use all the /system available space but it won't give you anything else than unusable left space ...

So try the ROMs you want and choose the one that fits you best, the only space you can save is removing media files stored in /data (e.g. default ringtones)... and storing your backup to USB flashdrive using the embedded OTG feature. :fingers-crossed:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlwhitec:
Interesting.. there is a partition size difference between stock and GPE, so it must be changeable. I think this can be changed altering the gpt partition..

But then again, I pretty well understand why people tend to stay away from messing with it. It's rather a low-level stuff a I can imagine not everybody is that brave ;)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sziraqui:
if you run this command on any moto device it will give the following error:

"error: run 'fastboot oem lock begin' first"

To relock any motorola device (for whatever reason) follow this:

Warning: This will erase your internal memory. Do a backup of all important stuff

By doing this, you actually get your phone back to official software.

Run these commands in proper sequence (in fastboot mode)

fastboot oem lock begin
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot oem lock

*if your firmware files have system.img_sparsechunk.0, system.img_sparsechunk.1 etc, then you will need to use

mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

If you are stuck somewhere, open flashfile.xml (which comes packed in stock firmware images) and run all commands given in it in given sequences

I have tested this on Moto E. I would request it to be added to OP with any needed modifications

you are right, for the same reason it is not possible to flash an OTA on a rooted device, we can't relock this way (old mistake i never corrected)

your guide seems correct, though i'll add the following: make sure to check integrity of EACH img/bin files in the stock firmware zip before proceeding (to do that, look at the flashfile.xml)

IMEI for Moto G, it will not be overwritten that easily it's secure AFAIK. If you are on lollipop then bootloader would have been updated.

Try restoring boot.img or full reflash via fastboot, Erase modems t1 and t2 and flash all partitions. Search XDA for how to flash.

Most IMEI problems will be resolved if you reflash radio. I.e. modems t1 and t2. TWRP no skin recovery modified for XT1033 will help. Search XDA for this version.

Next don't forget to clean dalvik cache or ART cache and cache partition. You will see "Android is upgrading" and no bootloops anymore.
