LOL sorry if i sound too stupid , but this device was the first Android device i've ever owned , and i'm not too pro with this , anyway could you check the last pages? i really need help with that , that's why i'm asking..:silly:

---------- Post added at 05:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 AM ----------

This was all my fault , instead of typing "system.img_sparsechunk.0/.1/.2" in cmd i typed "system.img_sparsechunk0" without ".0" and i did them in reversed order not one by one.. I almost screwed it up that's why it didn't receive the commands (fortunately) i had my bootloader unlocked , so i was saved from ultimate risk of bricking my MOTO G system that i just love since i bought , now i just downloaded a south america "claro chille" version of kitkat , downloaded mfastboot v2 and putted them together in one folder , turned off my system ,pressed the Power and Volume down buttons and then just doing the whole proccess without any errors through fastboot , now my system is working really fine right now , thanks for this thread dude PROPS. :laugh: The thread got saved for future reference , since it saved me from a bootloop.
[Moto G General] thuybang:
same problem like you. How can you solve it? Thanks.
[Moto G General] thuybang:
Done. You save my life.Thanks
[Moto G General] grepped:
Thanks for posting. It saved my phone.

Thanks for this thread. It saved my phone. I flashed c-rom, but it went into bootloop. So I downgraded boot-loader to 4.3 and followed steps mentioned here. However, executing shell script, i got error related to partition failed.

Anyways, My phone is working now.
[Moto G General] Destr0y3r:
This proccess can't be any easier! It can even apply to starters on Android , considering you don't have to download much stuff :thumbup: very helpful thread.
[Moto G General] rfec:
It was the same for me, after I used the commands you mentioned everything is worked fine, thank you.

Ubuntu 14.04 just a little help.

Hello again! , this is just feedback of my experience with this thread and the method to restore the phone to stock via ubuntu's terminal , if people are having some trouble with this , here i have a small tutorial on how to do it without a hitch.

SETTING UP FOR FASTBOOT

Open terminal and type in the following commands:

sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

after this type in:

sudo apt-get update

Then here comes something a little bit complicated

you have to type : sudo apt-get install gksu (if i remember)

then after installing "gksu" type in

"gksu gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules"

this command will open a windows with a blank text file , in the text file type in:

# Motorola Moto G SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="22b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2e80", MODE="0666", OWNER="plugdev" SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="22b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2e76", MODE="0666", OWNER="plugdev"

after doing all this work if you guys didn't get confused simply reboot and just in case enable USB Debugging on the proggramer settings (to enable Developer settings go to About phone --> tap 7 times the Build number box and it will say "You are now a proggramer! that's it hope i helped people with a Ubuntu OS.

After rebooting your PC/Laptop , plug in your device and your device should have Moto G or "XT1032" as a name.

If you want to check if you succesfully did the proccess , open terminal and type

sudo adb devices

It should show some sort of model name , that means everything is ok , now to continue with all this proccess just type in "sudo adb reboot-bootloader and it should get you to Fastboot , on fastboot type in "sudo fastboot" and then type in just like the thread says

example:

"sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

OPTIONAL

If you want to open terminal from your folder where you have everything just go to terminal and type the command

sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal

Once it installs, type "nautilus -q && nautilus" & to quit and reopen nautilus, and check the right click option.
[Moto G General] Destr0y3r:
IMPORTANT.

Y'know what , i should instead make a post about this , i know anyone is having a lot of issues with Ubuntu when they want to use it to flash things and install anything on their Android device , see ya on the post (btw i will just copy this comment for the post and give props to this thread for originally giving me the idea of giving a small tutorial

[Moto G General] remo0073:
I think the problem is the locked bootloader

I think you can not use Fastboot if your bootloader is locked

You only can flash through batch file (e.g. flashall.bat)
[Moto G General] ToastnButter:
You DON'T have to unlock the bootloader, and don't do it unless you want to root your device (or flash a custom OS).

Just make sure you use mfastboot instead of the regular fastboot. It's supposed to work with Motos with locked bootloaders.

Let me know if you succeed. If not, I'll try and help you some other way.

Oh, and did you enter flashing commands manually, or did you use a script? If the latter, that might be the issue
[Moto G General] remo0073:
Anytime I used Mfastboot I found a problem

First time: my smastphone was stopped on boot Motorola image (splash screen)

Second time: only Airplane mode

When flashing with Fastboot, after unlocking the bootloader, no problem occurred and everything was good

Hope you'll be more lucky than me

;)
[Moto G General] Erovia:
Guys, you are my last hope.

My Moto G doesn't wanna boot up, no matter what I do. I flashed stock GB,DE, both 4.3 and 4.4 I've even tried the GPE images.

The issue is the same with every rom.

It flashes without any issues, but the only thing that is working is the bootloader.

When I try to boot into Android or the stock recovery the bootloader warning comes up, vibrates once, black screen (if I choose to boot into Android the Windows starts to install its drivers) and reboots. And the whole process stars again.

Philz's recovery works. Wipes and installs roms (the same issue as with stock images) and I checked the partition, the filesystems are OK, fsck doesn't find any issue.

TWRP tries to boot but the phone reboots.

Any idea?

Update: I've flashed GB 4.4 images (for a hundredth time) and the mfastboot getvar all returns ro.build.fingerprint[1]: 4.3/14.10.0Q3...etc so if I'm right, the system partition is somehow not overwritten or what? :S

If someone with a working 4.4 phone could post a screenshot from the return of mfastboot getvar all, that would be helpful.

Verizon Stock System Image does not verify

Hi everyone, this is my first time here, so thanks to a great community that has gotten me through my first phone flash. I have a US Boost Mobile moto G that I have flashed with the Verizon 4.4.2 Rom. Everything works great. I am just trying to relock the bootloader (some say it is good for security). When I run the sequence

fastboot oem lock begin

flashing directions from this guide

fastboot oem lock

I get a message saying that the system images failed validation.

I am guessing that something in the Verizon ROM isn't signed right (I get errors on several items during the flash). If anyone has successfully relocked a bootloader with the Verizon ROM please let me know. Otherwise I think it is just the way it is on this one.
[Moto G General] DigitalRegen:
It still isnt working

I have tried the normal fastboot, mfastboot, and something called fastboot-moto-windows, but it all doesn't work. I haven't tried the flashall.bat yet though. Also my bootloader is locked. Where do I get flashall.bat?

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

I tried manually first and then I tried scripts. Also could it be the phone isnt in dev mode? Also how does using both affect the phone?
[Moto G General] ToastnButter:
It doesn't matter at all whether the phone was put in ADB mode or not.
[Moto G General] remo0073:
Flashall.bat file is present only on Jelly Bean firmwares (.tar.gz file)

If you want to try flashall.bat you should made a downgrade procedure form KitKat to Jelly Bean as written in the first post
[Moto G General] Lucas Eugene:
Hi I flashed the US Retail version on my boost mobile.Everything including voice, data works. But whenever I try to OTA update it says an error in the fastboot menu. I mean when the phone is restarted. I have stock recovery. But I cannot OTA update only

Also I flashed the modem part from my original stock rom. The USA modem does not work in boost
[Moto G General] ColdFire2003:
Moto G VZW stock firmware

One problem I ran into was that when you flash your Moto G to stock VZW firmware you need to put in one additional line:

"mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk4"

Failure to do this will result in the phone not booting up and vast amounts of panic.

This seems pretty obvious, but hopefully it helps someone.

I also apologize if someone else already mentioned this.
[Moto G General] gav_sharma:
stuck on the first white screen at reboot

I followed all the instructions and activated the phone on page plus but the data doesn't work. No 3G or 1G.

Someone in other forum said

But I can't change the settings through DFS as when I choose to Fastboot Mode -> BP Tools -> phone reboots but doesn't show "Motorola QC Diagnostic Interface" in the ports list of device manger.

So how do I get internet ?
[Moto G General] eemgee:
So, can the new US 4.4.3 be flashed over a UK 4.4.2 with a locked bootloader, without problems?

Problems on Moto G Global

I'm in the US, and I have a Moto G 16 GB Global, purchased direct from Motorola. I'm running Cyanogenmod 11, but I'm only getting edge data speeds, so I want to revert to stock to check if the problem exists there. The phone has only a single SIM slot, FWIW.

First, is this the XT1032?

Also, which download is appropriate? (I had problems with the first two, but I'll defer reporting them unless I know that one of them is recommended.)

Android 4.4.2 - Blur_Version.172.44.4.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US - 6A590558998E8E48718546CA2C996678

Android 4.4.2 - Blur_Version.172.44.4.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US - 6B0F1A213D3B052206F2F09D98CFFABF

Android 4.3 - Blur_Version.14.14.16.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US - 0C78F9D2D97F585170579AAA8B1CA312

Something else?

Finally, I'm on Linux. I assume that linux-fastboot should be used in place of mfastboot (both are in the motorola fastboot zip). True? If so, please make a note in the instructions for non-Windows users?

Thanks,

Jamie

-----------------------------------------------

Update 1:

Thanks. However, using linux-fastboot (from the OP-supplied Motorola fastboot zip) and this package, I get:

bubbles US_retail_XT1034_KXB20.9-1.8-1.4_CFC.xml # ./linux-fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
target max-sparse-size: 256MB
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...

...where it just sat for 10 minutes, until I killed it.

I then tried normal (non-Motorola) fastboot and got:

bubbles US_retail_XT1034_KXB20.9-1.8-1.4_CFC.xml # fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...

Convert Global GSM to US GSM?

I've got a couple problems, and I'm not sure which one you were referring to...

Are you saying you also have the Global GSM version, had also been having trouble with slow (edge) data in the US, and fixed it by installing the US version's firmware? In other words, you turned your Global into a US and have normal data speed?

If I misunderstood, please set me straight.

Yup, the warning remained on my eternally bootlooping Moto G. I think it is a total loss. Came to me as a favor to fix it, but after many attempts to flash firmware, it won't stop bootlooping. Anyone know of way to get past this or is it trash?
[Moto G General] remo0073:

*Android 4.4.2 - Blur_Version.174.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US	Retail US	475.5 MiB	0AF66B57981A6A71A19531F1E89A8CC1
[Moto G General] Jamie Jackson:
Thanks, remo0073, that was the right version.

Status:

When I got the phone, a Moto G 16GB Global XT1032 (from Motorola.com), I immediately flashed Cyanogenmod 11, but I was getting Edge network only, and awful download speeds of ~0.09Mbps (T-Mobile; Washington, DC area).

I wanted to know whether this was a problem with the phone or the CM11 ROM, since I'd heard that some Moto G Global model T-Mobile users had Edge-only in many areas.

To get back to stock, I downloaded the 0AF66B57981A6A71A19531F1E89A8CC1 package, and installed from Linux with the following (the linux-fastboot command is from the Motorola fastboot zip attached in the OP).

sudo ./linux-fastboot oem lock begin

sudo ./linux-fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
sudo ./linux-fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
sudo ./linux-fastboot flash logo logo.bin
sudo ./linux-fastboot flash boot boot.img
sudo ./linux-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sudo ./linux-fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
sudo ./linux-fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
sudo ./linux-fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
sudo ./linux-fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
sudo ./linux-fastboot erase modemst1
sudo ./linux-fastboot erase modemst2
sudo ./linux-fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
sudo ./linux-fastboot erase cache
sudo ./linux-fastboot erase userdata

sudo ./linux-fastboot oem lock

This worked, with the exception that boot image was still the white-background unlock warning.

To get rid of that, I downloaded original_logo.zip (from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47971145&postcount=1), extracted, then flashed it with:

sudo ./linux-fastboot flash logo logo.bin

After reverting to stock, I have 3G and reasonable speeds:

Download: 6.51Mb/s

Upload: 0.80Mb/s

I'm not sure whether or not this "restores" one's warranty or not, though. Probably not, I'm guessing, since part of the unlocking process involves a Motorola request.
[Moto G General] remo0073:
I think your warranty is not fully restored

Go to bootloader mode

If your status code is 0 (zero) warranty is ok

But if it is 2 or 3 your warranty is void

Good point. The firmware zip file that I download had three sparsechunk files named:
