Hello,

I'm stuck at "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" Screen after doing the entire process.

P.S. Bootloader is still unlocked because I skipped that part. Is it because of that?

Please Help!

[Moto G General] Ayeitsashish:
OMG! Can't thank you enough! This worked for me! I tried factory reset on my phone, and my phone got stuck on the boot screen! All I was seeing was this M logo and the phone wasn't restarting! Tried reseting again, cleared cache and waited for a day but still nothing was happening!

I pored over the Internet and found this thread! Followed your instruction to the T and it worked! Simply downloaded all the tools, extracted in the same folder and clicked on the bat file. And on the second attempt my phone started working again. Yay! This phone can serve me few months before I get a new one ?

Thank you so much buddy!
[Moto G General] Ayeitsashish:
Okay, so the worked fine for few hours and then it got hanged again! This time it is stuck on first Moto Boot Screen! (M Logo and powered by android) now I can't even go to recovery mode! When I go inside recovery mode it restarts and then the Same M logo pops up and the screen gets frozen!

Tried the same method that is mentioned in this guide and this time I'm getting this Failed error in the command prompt "bootloader failed to erase partition" after everything got over it said "failed to validate system image" ? What's this I am a complete noob! Would anybody help me please ?

Unable to move to 4.4.4.

Thank you for the instructions.

I want to downgrade from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4. I downloaded the 4.4.4 image files, mfastboot and the scripts. I ran the scripts as per the instructions; however, I am still at 5.0.2

I am new to this. Please help!
[Moto G General] Newgamer66:
First of all, ALWAYS READ COMMENTS ALSO. . others might have had the same issue and somebody might have suggested solution also . .I see this thread and many of them are asking the same thing again and again. Pls don.t ask without reading everything. Search in the forum

1.Have you unlocked the bootloader? . If not ,do it. Search in forum or google it, its been already explained.

2.Most probably some kind of error message can be seen while running the scripts. Look what that error says and check if that same error have been asked before. if not, specify the error shown. we dont know what kind of problem you faced.

3.Many have tried and did it successfully. So just check the steps again and try it again . .good luck :)

If Still not working, be more specific about your problem, I' sure somebody will help you . we are all here to hepl you :o

Do you mean your moto x only booting on Bootloader mode (?) Can you boot into fastboot ? if you can go to fastboot find factory image and flash with stock factory image via fastboot by using moto-fastboot like on this OP guide
[Moto G General] vaultit:
Hi there,

After searching a lot, i came across this thread. Before asking any question, let me give you the details:

I bought moto g dual sim from flipkart in Feb-2013....Which stock andoid version i had, i dont know....I am not a developer....

Currently in setting->About Phone-> "Android version : 5.0.2" , "Baseband version: MSM8626BP_1032.3105.93.00R EMEA_DSDS_CUST" , "Kerner version: 3.4.42-g48d3b85hudsoncm@ilclbld35 #1 Tue Jan 6 10:27:18 CST 2015" , "System version:220.21.28.falcon_umtsds.AsiaRetail.en.03" , "Build number LXB22.46-28"

I unnlocked the bootloader and rooted my device with ClockworkMod recovery and after that in recovery i flashed cyangenmod 11. In spite of simple instruction given in this forum, that flashing didn't go well. However as I have already made a backup via recovery, I installed the same.

Now a folder is made in the storage "clockworkmod" which is of 2.73 GB.

There are few questions in my mind:

1) Which stock firmware should i download and then follow the procedure of going back to stock? I will prefer previous version, if possible and not dangerous :o

2) I want to start from scratch..as out of box mobile..will this method do the same for me? No app, no data, no contacts, nothing.

3) Will the clockworkmod folder deleted by this method??

4) Request : Please provide link for mfastboot.

Thanks in advance

Followed all steps butstill not able to boot ... urgent help please

Hi.

Yesterday i unlocked my wife's moto g (1st gen). Even though the process is simple and I am not new to flashing, the mobile unlocked, but with some errors. It does not go into recovery mode. tried flashing custom recovery, no result, then tried to go back stock recovery, still nothing :confused:. then i thought going back to stock. I followed all the steps to the line. But still stuck :(. The phone either remains stuck in bootloop or I can go into bootloader. I tried 3-4 times the same procedure but no result. even installing custom recovery comes with error which all say to ignore, but still it does not go into the recovery mode. STUCK BADLY. HELP :crying:

Hey [MENTION=5780497]deej_roamer[/MENTION] brother if i want to try with this method (retail_AS+lock.zip) then we must simply extract files of stock firmware to folder and the retail_AS+lock.zip to same folder and phone must be in fastboot mode and then connected to pc and then i should click on retail_AS+lock and just any key to continue ??

(sorry my first time flashing such things , so panicking a lil bit )
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
Yes that's exactly what you should do!

Yes that's exactly what you should do, You get a problem try entering commands manually, still a problem pm me!

BTW You seem pretty experienced, i'd be like a novice to you. I used to develop for Symbian before android!
[Moto G General] Sk.D:
Great bro , i downloaded dev host link and it seems that file is corrupted (some system...sparsechunk0 and ..sparsechunk2 corrupted file) , now downloading from google drive . I will go for automatic method (Retail_AS.zip) with no bootloader locking.

OR

Is there any stock rom flashable zip( COMPLETE STOCK) on this forum that i can flash .( I just have moved from my old mobile CHD A116 to moto g so m new to this things . :p )
[Moto G General] BaghiXDA:
The ROM in the OP is stock. It's same as you do by installing 4.3 and then updating to 4.4.2 OTA.
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
Why did you feel the file is corrupted, i think I checked md5, after uploading
[Moto G General] Pritz524:
Thanks alot, but i have some questions

My Questions

will this method also remove the "Bootloader Unlocked " Warning ?

and also will it show the Status code Unlocked or Locked in the bootloader mode?
[Moto G General] BaghiXDA:
As of my knowledge, yes, it should remove the warning but it'll still show lock code 2, meaning relocked; it's easy to spot whether the device ever was unlocked. IMO, not worth it to relock as their are too many possibilities with unlocked. Plus, you're not going to get your voided warranty back anyway. If removing warning is all you want you can flash the logo or use this trick but it requires a rooted device.
[Moto G General] Pritz524:
What if I just Flash the Stock Firmware

I dont understand some part of the code such as :

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

What do they mean??

and what if i just flash this firmware[http://d-h.st/WM6] and flash the modified boot animation without warning and finally flash the stock recovery - Wouldn't that work too? Whats the difference ???

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

I am Not going to get back warranty ???:crying::crying:

Is there anyway to show Status code0 LOCKED ?????
[Moto G General] BaghiXDA:
Currently there's no way to do that, unfortunately.
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
The firmware link you provided is only for ROM not for modem.

Also You will not get your warranty back. When you got unlock key from motorola servers you already agreed to let go of warranty!

Assuming even if you managed to bypass that, moto G has a Qfuse in built which is like irreversible! So when your phone is checked at moto G center, they'll know you unlocked bootloader

I am long time member and silen reader on XDA and tried many tut in last few days but today I am here logged in at 1:00AM to Thanks DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ. I love you :p:p:p:p

Was meesing android with my moto g 1033 16gb from last few days as it was 1+ year old and warranty wasm over. Few days back I rooted and installed busybox + luckpathcer. But no idea what went wrong and I lost singal from my mobile. After soft reset Signal was back but keep dropping.

I was not able to use data because everytime it had exclamation mark on signal icon and same was with wifi. Download OTA 5.1 and installed but still signal issue. Did factory hard reset and issue was still there. Tried many secret codes and messed with radio settings + tried many APN settings and different sim cards. All sim card working fine or HTC and on windows mobile.

Lost hope and visited Moto Centre and they told me that leave your mobile for few days it must be an modem issue and this might cost from 1 to 1.5.

I was not ready to submit it at that time and told him that I will visit on Saturday. Finally I saw this thread and planned to give it a chance.

Installed using 2nd method using Retail_AS.zip and it hardly took 10 to 15 minutes and 10 minutes for booting first time. Finally my 3G services are working and even I installed new 5.1 ota offered by mobile without any problem.

Once again thanks buddy. For me you are an :angel::angel::angel::angel::angel::angel::angel::angel::angel::angel::angel:.

Anybody can tell me how to restore to stock ROM from cm12.1

My Moto G XT 1033 (Dual sim, Asia.Retail) is currently in CM 12.1 (5.1.1, Nightly). Recovery is TWRP. I want to restore stock ROM and stock recovery and then unroot the device. Can anybody explain what all thing to be taken care and what are steps involved?:confused:

Thanks, :)

[Moto G General] badari259:
From what I've tried, you can go back to stock, but you cant re-lock the bootloader. At firat it did not work because i was on 5.1.1 and cant go back to 5.0.2. I think you should skip the flash partition gpt.bin line. But im not sure.
[Moto G General] kikojesus1004:
Hello can someone help me?

I have an Asia moto g, but flashed the Brazilian version with 5.0.1 when Asian version was not yet available. So I flashed everything, I think including radios for Brazil. I'm having problem now with my phone, first is its getting laggy, taking screenshot is hit or miss which I do most of the time. For some reasons some apps are probably burning my battery out. So I'm planning to reset my phone in factory defaults. But I want to go back to Asian firmware. Can I just flash this with twrp? Coz I don't have access with a computer.
