Yes, it is. Sarcasm aside, the initial cost of Mac or Apple products prohibit them from reaching mass market (and developer) penetration - this is not a bias or philosophical argument regarding OSes; it's just the facts.

By the same token, it's vastly easy and cheap for one to find a capable, dual-core PC box for well under USD 100 in which you can install Windows or Linux to have for just this type of purpose..

I want to know, if I install STOCK RECOVERY JELLYBEAN will it unroot my moto g?

I currently have stock rom, rooted with superSU.

What I want is to keep the root and lock the bootloader. If I use your root to install stock recovery for jellybean, will i be able to re-lock the bootloader and stay rooted?

Hello everyone will this tool work on the Verizon prepaid moto g? Also can the bootloader be unlocked?
[Moto G Original Android Development] reversegear:
This tool cannot help to unlock the boot loader. You should follow Motorola website to unlock BL. But I doubt with ur Verizon model

The real power of this tool can be seen once you unlock ur BL. :) such a simple tool for people like me
[Moto G Original Android Development] enigma2446:
Ok so this tool would possibly work if i unlock the BL

Hello all you uber experts, I wanted some clarification. I have an unlocked and rooted 4.4.2 stock with CWM installed. I take regular nandroid backups. I would like to know that if I convert my device to GPE and root it and install CWM, and then decide to revert back to my original system, can I do that by just restoring my nandroid backup?

Thanks in advance

hello, I have a win7 64, and running the tool gives the following error that is in the photo, I looked around and saw that may be related to dll, but I can not solve.

tanks for help. sorry my bad english
[Moto G Original Android Development] anonyo:
Right, thanks much.
[Moto G Original Android Development] alonsoch:
well

when you relock your bootloader, you will flash a factory image, so everything in the phone will be erased, don't matter if when you relock your bootloader is cwm installed, or if your pohone is rooted,

when you lock your bootloader your phone will back COMPLETLY to stock, you will have the stock recovery, kernel, etc.

and again, sorry for the delay

[MENTION=4662318]alonsoch[/MENTION] Hi, basically i bought a O2 Moto G that is non-GPE but i flashed GPE but now i would like to go back to stock so how would i go about doing this? Would i use the GPE tab or the Non GPE tab? and When i tried to do it manually i recieved the following error when flashing sparsechunk "PIV HASH VALIDATION FAILED", but then i was able to manually flash the GPE again so i dont think their is nothing wrong with my phone, THANKS!

im also on a o2 moto g & stuck at the boot logo the above tool didnt work for me
[Moto G Original Android Development] anonyo:
thanks much, but I solved mine by flashing gpt.bin from 4.4.2 update zip that I had. The stock ROM available for my region (Asia) is only 4.3 and the gpt.bin from that was causing problems. Luckily I had the update.zip for 4.4.2 and used gpt.bin from that to flash partition, and then everything went smoothly from there.

The partition layout of GPe is different from retail and that was causing the issues.
[Moto G Original Android Development] alonsoch:
Hi guys i have converted my moto g to gpe today

Just I'm testing... For my,the phone works perfectly(xt1032)... So please if the tool isn't working for you give me model of the phone ,android version and any useful information....

I converted to GPe, but was not able to get radio signal, tried flashing my stock fsg.mbn and NON_HLOS.bin but it did not help, no signal. So restored my stock ROM

Model: XT1033 umtsds (dual sim)

Region: Asia (India)

Android: 4.4.2

Any help would be appreciated, thanks
[Moto G Original Android Development] scdsone:
fixed my phone with your tool (mototool aio) i downloaded the offical o2 rom (http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14) & unpacked in the GpeImage folder over the top of the Gpe which i had already put there

then renamed the 3 system files to the same name as the Gpe versions & it flashed fine i have a fully working phone again

So to convert stock > GPE root isn't needed? Just unlock the bootloader, convert, lock the bootloader and that's it?
[Moto G Original Android Development] maurocds:
no, root is optional

why lock bootloader?

use philz recovery, it is the best, xt1032 falcon is the model for moto g

Sorry for my n00b question, but i have problem with rooting and making recovery.

I have unlocked the phone, and fixed boot animation, i do this:

Push Super Su to SD card... ok

Flash recovery: (I used twrp 2.6.3.3 and cwmr 6.0.4.7) it seems to did it.

When i scrol and select using vol up/down i enter in recovery, but still be only stock recovery.

I'm using last 4.4.2 kitkat.
[Moto G Original Android Development] BInspirinG:
For you, my guess is that you're not actually rooted to be able to flash the custom recovery.

Here's my problem:

I have the GPE phone but I pushed superSU to SD card, flashed TWRP, but then when I try to go into recovery, it shows the dead android. Am I wrong in assuming GPE already has unlocked bootloader?
[Moto G Original Android Development] GoPogoOreo!:
So i wanted to flash stock KitKat Recovery (because someone said that if i want to install OTA Update, i have to use stock recovery)

I'm using Philz touch, and then flash stock kitkat recovery with this tool,

And now i don't even can access my recovery,

It's always says "no command" with android image (like the one when "installation aborted")

Any ideas?

(I'm still can boot normally, and use my moto g like usual, but i can't access the recovery mode)
[Moto G Original Android Development] alonsoch:
You have flashed correctly your recovery ... Stock recovery=green android=no command... All is ok

[Moto G Original Android Development] DragonautMk:
._.

Please, can you tell me how i can root my moto g?
[Moto G Original Android Development] anonyo:
Rooting has got nothing to do with flashing custom recovery, in fact, the device root is obtained after flashing custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) and then installing SuperSu.zip via this custom recovery to get root access. To flash custom recovery your bootloader must be unlocked. The fact that you are getting android image when going into recovery means that your custom recovery flashing was not successful. Try again - fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (the name of the .img file may vary, you have to substitute it to the correct file name).

GPE does not have unlocked bootloader if you buy it directly from Google. The only difference is that you don't need to get unlock code from Motorola for unlocking a GPE device bought from Google Play Store, you just need to type "fastboot oem unlock" and your device will be unlocked. BUT if you have converted your RETAIL device to GPe, then you would have already unlocked your bootloader using the unlock code from Motorola. ONCE YOU UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER, THERE IS NO WAY OF GOING BACK TO LOCK STATUS OF 0, you will be able to lock it again, but the lock status will be 2 (unlocked bootloader has a status of 3). So you can only jump between status code of 2 and 3, but can never go back to status code 0, as the "SOFTWARE fuse" is blown, which can never be reverted back to 0 (only Qualcomm manufacturer would be able to set it back to 0, although I am doubtful about that too).

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

When your device is in bootloader mode, on PC type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (name of .img should match your custom recovery). On your phone, you will see text "mismatched partition size", don't worry about that if on PC you don't see any error. Then using volume down highlight Recovery and using volume up select it, you will go into your custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), if not, then your flashing was not successful... and I cannot help you further, sorry :rolleyes: If custom recovery was successfully flashed, then flash SuperSU.zip from recovery and you will have root access.

[Moto G Original Android Development] BInspirinG:
Thank you for your comments and help! It makes a lot more sense now. And I have the GPE edition from Google.

I'll go back and do the "fastboot oem unlock" first, then I'll try flashing TWRP again. I'm also guessing you are wanting me to use the command prompt when I type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"?

i having some network issue with dual sim version using kitkat, so i want to downgrade to jelly bean 4.3 .

can use moto tool 3 to install 4.3 on my moto g x1033??

my moto g is not rooted , if i am downgrade it to jelly bean does it leads to warranty avoid ??? no update from google???/

plz reply:silly:
[Moto G Original Android Development] gabo_lope:
If you are trying to downgrade i must guess that your bootloader is unlocked, if it isn't, you won't be able to downgrade to 4.3, since a guy tried to doit with locked bl, and couldn't do it, maybe someone else has done it and can correct me if i'm wrong,, And if you do unlock it, you lose warranty, as stated by a guy a few posts back, the device loses the status 0 (locked bl), which means a warranty void.... And what kind of updates do you expect from google, an update to kitkat? Or i'm unaware if jumping between releases is possible, ie from 4.3 directly to 4.4.3
[Moto G Original Android Development] anonyo:
Yes, you must be in bootloader mode on phone and your phone must be connected to PC via USB cable, when you do that you will see "usb connected" on the bootloader screen. Then, on PC in command prompt type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Your recovery.img file and fastboot.exe file must be in same folder on PC.

Alternatively, try using MotoTool AIO while in bootloader mode as that is easier than typing all the commands in command prompt.
[Moto G Original Android Development] ManaSV93:
If I upgrade to GPE, my OS updates will be at same time as GPE devices? Or will need manual updates?
[Moto G Original Android Development] sanads:
If I unlocked bootloader

If I unlocked bootloader , can relock again??
[Moto G Original Android Development] anonyo:
You may be able to relock, but its not easy. First you need to type "fastboot oem lock begin" then flash a full official SIGNED stock ROM and then type "fastboot oem lock." But from what I have read elsewhere very few were successful in relocking it. In any case, I haven't tried it since it is really pointless to relock the bootloader.
[Moto G Original Android Development] sanads:
thats mean if I may able to relock again but I can,t get warranty service.
[Moto G Original Android Development] anonyo:
That's right. To unlock, you need to get the unlock code from Motorola and on that site itself it gives the disclaimer that your warranty will be void once you unlock bootloader. When you relock bootloader, the status code will be 2, so any service personnel will take just one look at bootloader, see the status code, and know that the device was once unlocked and hence voided warranty.

Relocking bootloader only makes sense for security reasons, meaning if you are afraid that you might flash some wrong unsigned or custom ROMs/images and mess up your phone. Only in that scenario it makes sense to relock, otherwise it is pointless.

[Moto G Original Android Development] anonyo:
Yes you can, I have successfully converted to GPE without any hiccups and using it for more than 2 weeks now. Basically what you need is the full GPE ROM and fsg.mbn and NON-HLOS.bin from the Retail.GB ROM.

I used this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2661022

GPE is a single SIM ROM, I hope you are aware of that.

To go to stock recovery from boot loader there is another key combination. I think it is power + vol down . Do search the forums for exact answer.

Do let know if you are successful upgrading to 4.4.3 from 4.4.2 after unlocking and rooting ; using above method .

[Moto G Original Android Development] pedro1977:
Thanks sickbeast. Were you rooted already and lost root upon upgrading and had to re-root? Or did you upgrade to 4.4.3 unrooted and then root? Is it a full root that you have now or is it tethered? I assume also that the upgrade does not remove clockworkmod recovery either?

I ask as I have heard they have closed some root loopholes with 4.4.3, this may only apply to the nexus though.
[Moto G Original Android Development] SickBeast:
I was completely stock before the update, I was not rooted. I installed the custom recovery after the update. I assume it is a full root. I have no idea what a tethered root is.
[Moto G Original Android Development] pedro1977:
A tethered root requires you to connect your phone to the computer and boot it from it every time with a specially designed app. If you booted normally you wouldn't have root access. This is a pain in the butt, hence the query - Thanks again.
[Moto G Original Android Development] alfick3:
