Guys, if I flash the EU firmware on my XT1033 Asia retail, will it brick my phone?
[Moto G General] sanchezz:
Stock ROM Falcon for AIO Wireless (AT&T)

current ROM: 173.44.9.falcon_umts.aio.en.us (locked BL)

I bricked it. Is it possible to flash this phone? I've been looking for a AT&T ROM to unbrick, but I can't find anything.
[Moto G General] AgentChaos:
you will have to unlock the bootloader first. but not sure if that model can be unlocked.
[Moto G General] lost101:
Bootloader

does not need to be unlocked

because these are factory firmware images, intended to be flashed before selling to customer.

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

Try and report back. If GPe can be flashed on XT1033, then probably so can retail EU.
[Moto G General] sanchezz:
Any idea to flash a stock recovery? I tried with adb, mfastboot (different images).
[Moto G General] lost101:

[Moto G General] lifetimes:
I am on 4.4.4 (xt1032 retail US), went to restore using the firmware and I got errors after flashing gpt.bin using fastboot flash partition gpt.bin. I'm not sure if it only happened because I was attempting to relock the bootloader first. Not even sure why I was relocking the bootloader when it's not really locked when you relock it. I'll try restoring again when lollipop is out so I could have a fresh install of the os.
[Moto G General] lost101:
As you say, relocking does nothing. Posting the error you got would be helpful - some errors can be ignored and the flash may still have been successful.
[Moto G General] padhu1989:
use mfastboot instead of fastboot.. download mfastboot.exe
[Moto G General] sanchezz:
When I type this, I get a list of all possible adb commands.

My device is in adb sideloader-mode; when I type adb devices, I can see my device with the correct serial#, so it must be connected.

Any other idea?

(When I try to flash the recovery.img in mfastboot, the Moto G shows "hab check failed for recovery".)
[Moto G General] remo0073:
This error is common for custom recovery.

Don't mind about it

Flash the recovery using Fastboot not adb

fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

If it doesn't work, try flashing twice or three times (without reboot system).

Sent from my Moto G
[Moto G General] lost101:
Sorry about that, I meant: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Moto G General] sanchezz:
I did that. Even multiple times; still doesn't work.

Is it possible to install via ADB-sideload instead of mfastboot?
[Moto G General] AgentChaos:
are you sure you have the motorola drivers installed and usb debugging enabled.

plugin in your phone with usb, type fastboot devices, if you see your device listed then the drivers are installed.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img works.

just make sure the recovery img file is in the same folder as the fastboot/adb files
[Moto G General] sanchezz:
Well... USB debugging... I cannot boot Android

Drivers are installed; I see the device with the correct serial, so the drivers are installed correctly (Win7 x64 machine)

When I type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img I get this error on the phone. Tried a few times.
[Moto G General] remo0073:
I suppose you are flashing stock recovery.

If yes, when you try enter stock recovery you could have the "NO COMMAND" message

Something like this

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-...BJs/6i8WZI2LrI0/s1108/IMG_20130120_025237.jpg

If answer is yes here is the solution

That is:
[Moto G General] AgentChaos:
is it official firmware recovery or custom recovery?

you might have to unlock the bootloader.

also try using this version of fastboot

Let me know what your phone model is, send me a private message, perhaps I can help you through facebook chat or skype.

[MENTION=269044]sanchezz[/MENTION], have you tried the GPe firmware images? If you get 'preflash validation' error with those, you either need to unlock boot loader or wait for lollipop firmware images - it's possible they will flash correctly.
[Moto G General] sanchezz:
Also with the GPE-image, I get the same"preflash validation" failure. Why should it work with L?
[Moto G General] lost101:
Since on some models, 4.4.2 firmware images caused that error, but 4.4.4 did not.

I also tried to flash 4.3, but I get the same error.

Yes, what I am suggesting is that a firmware newer than 4.4.4 may not give you that error.

Unlocking bootloader immediately removed the error for some.

Hey guys.. I've looking all around the web but I can't find the firmware for XT1032 retail from Argentina of Android 4.4.4 because I want to downgrade from GPE Lollipop to Moto 4.4.4, and then go to Moto Lollipop when it comes up..

Have any of you found 4.4.4 firmware for retail Argentina? :confused:
[Moto G General] lost101:
It is my recommendation that you do not downgrade, but rather go directly to Motorola Lollipop when the Firmware Images are available.

Proceed at your own risk.

Here are some available ROMs for Argentina:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/46r...4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid12_CFC_1FF.xml.zip

http://www.filefactory.com/file/6i4...4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_37_cid12_CFC_1FF.xml.zip

Since you have an XT1032, your phone is Global GSM. There is no need to flash a specific 'Argentina' firmware, and I don't recall hearing of a 'Retail Argentina.' Maybe someone can correct me, but the closest I can imagine would be XT1032 Retail Latin America. I will put in a request.
[Moto G General] MarckozZ:
hey man thanks for the answer, but those firmwares are for other carriers and I have a retail XT1032. And I know that since its global GSM I dont need ARG firmware necessarily to flash, but my phone came with a retail firmware from Arg...It was 4.4.4 with version 210.12.40.falcon_umts.Latam.en.AR (have an screenshot of it).. searched all over the web but nothing.. If you could request for it I'll be so thankful, since I cant register on firmware team dont know why... thanks!
[Moto G General] t4n017:
As far as I know there is no 4.4.4 firmware for Retail Argentina, just an OTA .zip.

As I told you before (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57513053&postcount=8) don't even think about using the OTA if you already upgraded your bootloader to Lollipop version.

You should wait a bit longer for Lollipop firmware.

Nice!, now I can go back from GPE to it without bricking the phone. I hope Moto Lollipop arrives soon.

Why in the name of god does the uploader choose that crappy server?

Downloading 500MB at ~20kb/s is a torture, and you have to pray you don't loose the internet connection in the middle of it.

7 hours downloading a file that could take less than 15 mins here. Reminds me those old days when downloading L2 (Lineage II) took more than 1 day in my poor dial-up connection.

For anyone waiting for news regarding Lollipop firmware images; there has been a lot of releases for Moto X (2014) recently.

At least 10 firmware images have appeared in the last few weeks, many in the last few days. I also note that all firmware images are tagged as "5.0," not "5.0.1" or "5.0.2."

It would make sense that Motorola give priority to their latest premium devices and work backwards. Since it appears Moto X (2014) has been mostly covered, I hope to see Moto G (2014) images soon, followed by Moto X (2013), and Moto G (2013.)

I'm posting this to let people know Motorola do appear very active in this area, it just seems that there isn't a dedicated Moto G development team.
[Moto G General] Djon_:
Thank you for the update, much appreciated.

Does that mean the firmwares are actually 5.0? If I remember correctly they updated to 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 directly, at least for the Moto G (2013).
[Moto G General] lost101:
The '5.0' firmware images are for Moto X (2014) - the first appeared over three weeks ago. From that it can be assumed that development of '5.0' for Moto X (2014) had been through testing and was completed before Christmas 2014. That is why the images are only '5.0.'

Since then, 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 bugfix updates have been released by Google, causing repeated cycles of development testing at Motorola. Google only develop Android for Nexus devices; it's up to Motorola to test and optimize them for their own range of hardware. [source]

However, Moto G GPE (2013) has been developed for by Google - that explains why it already has 5.0.1 finalized. The GPE 5.0.1 images likely exist but are currently not available. There was also a significant delay in the availability of the GPE 4.4.4 images.

The fact that Moto G (2013) is a GPE device should quicken the development pace at Motorola for all other variants: Moto G (2013), Moto G LTE (2013) and Moto G (2014) - I think we are fortunate in that way.

It seems quite likely 5.0.3 will be the last release of Android 5.0.x, with the focus moving on to 'Android 5.1.' I expect when the firmware images for Moto G (2013) do arrive, they will be 5.0.3. [The other possibility is that Motorola can fix the memory leak themselves, and therefore not needing 5.0.3 from Google.]

You should not need to unlock bootloader, but sometimes it is necessary for downgrading. Try the guide, make sure to use mfastboot.

It's not booting because the flash has not been successful. It doesn't matter what you see on the screen when flashing. If they process was successful, the phone will boot.

I suggest you try flashing the 5.0.1 firmware via fastboot, on Linux.

EDIT: Be careful with the 4.4.4 firmware image - flashing and reflashing the Bootloader (motoboot.img) could ruin the phone. Don't flash motoboot.img any more.

GPE uses EXT4 for the 'userdata' partition. Stock Motorola uses F2FS. You need to reformat that partition. It can be done in custom recovery or by flashing the gpt.bin.
