Firmware with korean language

Hi, is there another firmware for Asia which is not for the dual-sim version?

I have a single-sim moto g with a french SFR retail and I want to flash a firmware with Korean language...
[Moto G General] mocsharp:
I have the same question; I got the US Retail "Global GSM" version and wanted to flash a firmware that has Chinese (Taiwan) language in it.

Thanks!
[Moto G General] lzzhang10:
Well, the point was to flash UK, coming from US, so there will be Chinese language to choose from.
[Moto G General] Jkmoran:
Did you tried with the Asian Retail?
[Moto G General] TDK99:
Hello, i flash US 4.4.2 firmware on my german Moto G, and then i upgraded it to official 4.4.3. If i try to do a downgrade, the flash of gpt.bin and motoboot.img has failed.

The error that i see on the command prompt is "Preflash validation failed". On the display of the phone, i see "version downgraded for primary_gpt" and "preflash validation for tz".

Can we help me?
[Moto G General] Schrotty35:
I have download US_retail_XT1032_KXB20.9-1.10-1.24-1.1_CFC.xml.zip and extract but i have other files and not the file you are write for flashing.

You write:

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 flash system system.img_sparsechunk1

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2

mfastboot 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 reboot

But i have this files (see attachment). How flash this in that order?
[Moto G General] remo0073:
The files in the folder are listed in alphabetical order

You have to flash following the order in the code listed in first post. Nevermind about emmc file, it has not to be flashed

Can i use the bat file too?

Gesendet von meinem XT1032 mit Tapatalk
[Moto G General] remo0073:
I didn't

I used Fastboot

Inviato dal mio XT1032 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Moto G General] ToastnButter:
I wouldn't, the bat file flashes the emmc file too.
[Moto G General] remo0073:
If possibile could you please explain me that?

Which is the problem with emmc file?

I try to explain

If I open the bacth file with a text editor I find this code

SET fastboot=fastboot.exe
%fastboot% flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
%fastboot% reboot-bootloader
%fastboot% flash partition gpt.bin
%fastboot% flash motoboot motoboot.img
%fastboot% flash logo logo.bin
%fastboot% flash boot boot.img
%fastboot% flash recovery recovery.img
%fastboot% flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
%fastboot% flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
%fastboot% flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
%fastboot% flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
%fastboot% erase modemst1
%fastboot% erase modemst2
%fastboot% flash fsg fsg.mbn
%fastboot% erase cache
%fastboot% erase userdata
pause

If you see the first post, you find that this fastboot commands have to be used to install the firmware

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 flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot 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 reboot

That means that the difference with commands of batch file vs the commands listed in the first post are the first and second line

Now I can't understand which is the aim of the code concerning the flash of emmc file:

fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn

Could you please help me understand?

I have exact same problem. Tried downgrading to 4.3 and tried flashing TWRP instead of factory recovery. I relocked bootloader and that didnt make any difference of course. I am at the end of the road. I know its not hard bricked, it is just in a bootloop and shows the unlocked BL warning screen. What the hell? I dont get it. Has anyone else had this issue and resolved it yet?

Any idea if I should use fastboot or mfastboot on a LOCKED bootloader?
[Moto G General] remo0073:
On a locked bootloader you can only use mfastboot

mfastboot is a special fastboot made by Motorola to flash stock firmwares without unlocking the bootloader

I never used mfastboot

I only used Fastboot, but I think it should work.
[Moto G General] rmrbpt:
mfastboot on locked bootloader worked just as expected.

Thanks a lot!
[Moto G General] rocketrazr99:
I am unable to find a fix for my problem. I acquired an Unlocked Moto G which I'm told was upgraded to 4.4.2 KitKat and then unlocked before it ended up in a bootloop of the BL Unlocked Warning screen. I flashed both 4.4.2 and 4.3 using Mfastboot ABD and both were basically successful from what the phone's fastboot log readout said. But neither had any change in the bootloop issue. I have read that the 4.4.2 upgrade doesn't play well with a BL unlocking. I don't believe the device is hard-bricked, but I can't find anything anywhere about anyone who has found a workaround out of this bootloop. Not even any logs to be found. Help!!!! Or if there's no remedy, does anyone need a 'like-new' Moto G screen? Or even the whole device? Uh, bricked though, Lol.

A little noob question: I bought my moto g @ tesco uk and carrier unlocked with a code, so if I want to install any retail rom my carrier unlock will be lost or not? (I am really not sure about it, beacuse it was unlocked by a code not in a hardware way you know. :( )

[Moto G General] Logan_4600:
But, the warranty is still voided isn´t it? (even if you relock your device)
[Moto G General] SbM_:
Are you talking of unlocking the bootloader (which voids the warranty) or of sim-unlocking so that you can choose another carrier (which doesn't void the warranty) ?
[Moto G General] Logan_4600:
i thought it was the same thing... :/ (noob here)
[Moto G General] gavin19:
I've been getting dropped calls since the KitKat update (not related to SIM/signal/Aeroplane mode) so I tried downgrading to Jelly Bean to see if that would make a difference. Kept getting locked up either at the Moto logo, or it'd get to the end of the 'upgrading apps' part and the screen would go black for ~10 seconds then flicker on for one, then back off again.

The only way I was able to get it to start properly was to flash CWM and use the wipe data/factory reset option. Once I done that it booted normally, although it did sit on the Moto logo for a couple of minutes before launching.
[Moto G General] SbM_:
Nope, totally different things.

The bootloader unlock will void your warranty, but my question is not about the bootloader, but carrier unlock, wich is not void your warranty.

[Moto G General] Nadavs10:
If you can install a firmware without unlocking the bootloader -

1. Why unlock the bootloader?

2. I received a Dual-SIM Moto G with a (GB) Single-SIM firmware, and the bootloader status code is still 0. If some of you could restore stock firmware without unlocking - could someone flash this "wrong" firmware without unlocking the bootloader, before selling it to me?

I'm trying to understand what happened to my brand-new phone for about a week now. Posted a thread here on XDA. Talked to Motorola... Maybe this is a clue?
[Moto G General] vlt96:
I just flashed the single sim firmware on my dual sim moto g without unlocking the bootloader, you don't need a software expert for that.
[Moto G General] Nadavs10:
Let's say you were trying to install a custom ROM on your device (locked bootloader). Would you still be able to do it? Or the bootloader just restricts you to flash STOCK firmware while locked?

After you flashed the single-SIM firmware - did the status code change? Or is it still 0?

I didn't say you need to be a software expert.
[Moto G General] vlt96:
I doubt it would work for non-Motorola firmware, the stock one can be flashed because it has Motorola's signature on it.

Fastboot mode says "Device is LOCKED, Status Code: 0", I didn't unlock the bootloader, I just flashed stock ROM, nothing illegal or warranty-voiding about that :D
[Moto G General] Nadavs10:
Great, now I start to understand what they did to my phone... So you basically have an XT1033 which you just flashed to it the XT1032 firmware, right? I think the guys from store I bought the device from did the same to give the customer "what he ordered" (which is a single-SIM phone).

Now just to be sure - it doesn't do anything harmful to the phone? I suspect that when an update will be available we will install it and it and may brick our phones. I hope not, of course.

*Not that I'm worried about an official Motorola warranty because I live in Israel - there is no warranty here anyway:rolleyes: only from the store
[Moto G General] vlt96:
No risk of bricking, the only difference between xt1032 and xt1033 is the second sim.

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

What happens if the firmware (or version whatever you wanna call it) is 4.4.2 Retail US? , will it be possible to like downgrade from 4.4.3 to 4.4.2 without any errors? i hope you understand my question...
[Moto G General] lifetimes:
I understand but I don't think you can downgrade because there is a different bootloader in 4.4.3 compared to 4.4.2.
[Moto G General] remo0073:
I downgraded from 4.4.3 US to 4.4.2 GPE

The first two lines give errors

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

The others went good

fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot

I repeated twice this command

fastboot erase userdata

The first time error, the second OK

At the end downgrade went good

Of course the bootloader was not downgraded

I used Fastboot (my bootloader is unlocked) not Mfastboot

Anyone tried going from Moto 4.4.3 to GPE 4.4.2 (and then upating to 4.4.4)?
[Moto G General] remo0073:
Please take a look at previous post (#655)

Then I updated to 4.4.4 via "adb sideload" using OTA zip file
[Moto G General] ToastnButter:
LOL didn't see your previous post. Sorry for my infinite retardation!
[Moto G General] remo0073:
No problem man

After updating I found this strange situation
[Moto G General] ToastnButter:
I'd say bootloader issue. It affects pre-boot environment, so that's the only option
[Moto G General] remo0073:
No other user talked about this issue yet.

Should I try to flash again motoboot?

fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

if there is a motoboot.img file in the OTA zip

I have to check.

I think this is the fastboot file

Isn't it?

Do I risk to brick?

New bootloader for 4.4.4 GPE is 41.13

Bootloader version for 4.4.3 US was 41.11
[Moto G General] ToastnButter:
It's a bit risky, but makes sense - newer BL version should flash just fine. But I don't remember if the BL was flashed when converting from moto 4.4.2 to gpe?
[Moto G General] remo0073:
That is my Bootloader "history"

4.4.3 US - bootloader version is 41.11

During downgrading from 4.4.3 US to 4.4.2 GPE was not possible to downgrade the bootloader

After flashing the bootloader

fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

I had an error message

Flash was ok but the bootloader remained the same of 4.4.3 US that is 41.11

After OTA update from 4.4.2 GPE to 4.4.4 GPE the bootloader was upgraded to 41.13

I don't know what happens when you convert 4.4.2 std Moto to 4.4.2 GPE

Sorry for my poor english
[Moto G General] ToastnButter:
Oh, ok I get it now.

So it's not an issue, it's just the way it is now, and we should not be bothered by it I think. Everything's fine
[Moto G General] remo0073:
Ok Thank you

Please if you install 4.4.4 GPE in your Moto G, please tell me if you have the same issue

I'm on it right now. Fingers crossed

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

It seems that somehow, I've managed to downgrade both GPT and the bootloader during the process of conversion of 4.4.3 to GPE.

Will now flash the OTA and report back

You can get the moto factory images here http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/...-g/falcon_gpe/ but what if I wanted to revert back to stock 4.4.3, non-gpe, what would happen with the bootloader?
[Moto G General] remo0073:
I think the bootloader won't be downgraded

It will remain version 41.13 (The one for 4.4.4 GPE)

Not 41.11 that is the "native" bootloader version for 4.4.3 US
[Moto G General] :
I have tested the change from "4.4.3 US Retail" to "4.4.2 GPE". Must omit the first two fastboot commands, and everything will be fine. Then came automatically OTA to 4.4.4 GPE. My phone is on the original UK Retail XT1032. Downgrade is possible.
[Moto G General] lifetimes:
I just wanted know if they would be any issues with the 4.4.4 GPE bootloader while running Moto stock 4.4.3 in case I needed to downgrade back OS.
