Hey guys,

can I flash the logo-file from this thread to revert to stock firmware, relocked bootloader without the unlocked bootloader-message appearing when booting the device? Or is there some md5-checking while flashing stock files?

Thanks in advance.
[Moto G General] zzdario:
I bought the US Retail version, and I had to unlock the bootloader (otherwise it didn't let me flash boot and others).

I followed the official unlocking procedure from the Motorola website:

motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/action/auth

After that, I was able to flash the UK Retail version following the steps from this thread.

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

Now, what will happen with OTA updates?

Will they revert my phone to the native US Retail version?

Will I get OTA updates at all (like Android 4.4)?

In case you wonder why I switched from US Retail to UK Retail, that's needed to get Italian as optional system language, since the US version only has four languages.

A few questions

How did you get the retail GB version and is it possible to get the US version?

I have a SIM locked phone that I am unable to purchase the SIM unlock. I tried. They are looking at other options to get the code for my phone. If I follow the above mentioned procedure will this unlock my phone or could it possibly make it worse?

If this works on my phone will the play store be locked to GB?

CWM not working - restore to stock by doing factory reset?

Hello everyone,

I am a total android noob, so I need a little bit of guidance with my problem:

My German retail Moto G (XT1032) came with stock 175.44.1 firmware which I updated to 176.44.1, after which I unlocked the bootloader.

I replaced the stock recovery with CWM 6.0.4.7 (according to the Cyanogenmod instructions for this device - sorry can't post outside links yet), but when I tried to boot into recovery afterwards, I get the "No command" dead droid for about a minute before the phone reboots into the OS.

I have read that some "fixed" this "No command" problem by holding VOLUME UP for 10 seconds and then tapping the POWER button, but some entered a boot loop as it seems. What exactly does this button combo do? Restore stock recovery?

Alternatively, can I just extract the stock recovery of the images on sbf-droid and flash it over CWM (as in

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

), regardless of software version? What I intend to do is to do a factory reset from the android settings menu to bring everything back to stock, but for that, stock recovery has to be working, right?

Also, is this the right place to ask these questions? The thread description seemed to be more fitting than others...

Thank you guys in advance!

[Moto G General] forgotter:
Try reflashing, if it doesn't help then

1.Download any rom available for your device.

2.Put your phone into bootloader mode. i.e.press volume down+power key for sometime while switching on your phone.

3.Plug in your phone into PC.

4.Push the downloaded rom into your device through adb. (In adb, enter adb push rom.zip /sdcard where rom.zip is your downloded rom file)

5.Enter in recovery of your phone.

6.Wipe /system and wipe /cache and /data.

7.Mount /system, /data, /cache.

8. Flash the rom. i.e. install the rom.zip

9. Reboot your phone and it will boot up perfectly.

10. Make a backup of your phone for future.:good:

P.S. While downloading rom take care that it is for your specific device and specific model, otherwise you may face other problems.

1. copy the cwm backup to pen drive.

2. connect the pen drive to the phone via an otg cable.

3. in cwm, go to back up and restore.

4. choose restore via usb storage.

EDIT: never mind, the stock firmware ive download had the 3 files named as:

system.img_sparsechunk.1

system.img_sparsechunk.2

[Moto G General] geropan:
Hello everyone!

I am trying to solve a problem with my mother's Moto G. The thing is that all of a sudden errors about app and process crashing are popping-up. I'd like to state that at this stage the phone was full stock and locked bootloader.

In order to do fix this, I tried to restore factory settings from recovery, but when launching recovery from bootloader the error "Bootup failed" appeared.

So without being able to restore factory settings I decided to flash stock room following this guide. Apparently, the flashing process succeed as no errors appeared during the process. Unfortunately, after rebooting the problem persisted and android version was the same, just as if I had not flashed anything.

At this point, I think I took a bad turn: I unlocked bootloader (voiding my guaranty). I repeated the flashing process (with the same result). Then I tried to access recovery, and I realized that now I could boot into it, but wiping data/factory reset did not wipe anything (I have tried it several times).

Then I thought that maybe a custom recovery would do the job and truly wipe my phone data (if that is of any use). I have tried to install TWRP, getting the following message: "mismatched partition size error" (what according to TWRP thread is OK), but when I try to boot into TWRP through bootloader I get instead stock recovery.

Defeated by the circumstances I decided to retreat, so I tried (once again) to flash a stock rom following this guide and later to re-lock bootloader in order to ask motorola to fix this. As you can image, re-locking the bootloader did not work getting this error: "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))"

Does anyone know how can I solve this issue? Should I toss the phone to the trash?

Thank you in advance :)

[Moto G General] geropan:
Thanks for your response :)

I see that you succeed to flash 4.3 using this guide. I have also flashed 4.3 but after "fastboot reboot" my phone boots into 4.4.2 with the same problems.

Maybe what I am about to say is stupid, but it seems like the phone is "write-protected" or something like that as neither flashing 4.3 or a custom recovery works. Wipe from stock recovery doesn't seem to do anything at all...

I am pretty desperate already. I hope it is not a hardware failure, because considering I have voided the phone's guaranty we can say I am ****ed up...

EDIT: Just in case this might help, this is the result of "fastboot getvar all"

EDIT 2: I have tried to "fastboot boot recovery.img" as flashing them wasn't working with TWRP 2.7, Philz 6.26.6 and CWR 6.0.4.7 and non of them gets to boot, instead it gets to my faulty 4.4.2. I swear to God I'm about to throw this brick out the window :(
[Moto G General] shmotog:
1. Did you unlock the bootloader?

2. Did the phone come preloaed with 4.4.2 (kitkat) or you recently updated it via OTA and did these problems show up after you updated to kitkat?

3. Which country are you in? If UK, you statutory rights supercede motorolas rules or warranty, at least that's what I thought. However if you do throw it out the window, you will scratch it, so don't do that :)
[Moto G General] geropan:
1) Yes, I have unlocked bootloader.

2) It came already with KitKat (I bought it about a month ago).

3) I bought it in Spain, so I guess I would have to look into regulations about electronic devices guaranty, but as far as I know the standard period is of 2 years. Anyway, I hope I can sort this out on my own, I mean, without having Motorola involved.

Once again, thank you for your reply :)
