Google Play Edition - falcon.tgz

alone has 19 files

And the mfastboot file has 7 files! DO you have anyfile which has an extention of .tar?

If you do then you have to extract the files from that .tar file as well!

I am so sorry this was supposed to be simple!

If you do not mind waiting till tomorrow morning, I will update simple zip.
[Moto G General] thelegendofzeth:
I did the guide, that's all. And nothing is noob-friendly, man. There's always someone who doesn't understand.
[Moto G General] mobilephone01:
I find all files but does not recognize the sd card again.

After finish the flash and flash the recovery (because recovery does not flash) and reboot from recovery. This is I did it.
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
And so did I, thats all, why are you being a crybaby about it, its not like i stole your work!
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
OK friend, sorry for all the trouble, i changed the whole thing into one single zip with firmware and fastboot. Fixed the script!

Please Download again and try.... I tried this before posting on my phone and it worked!

I hope it does the same to you too!
[Moto G General] thelegendofzeth:
Wait, lol. I did not say that. I'm complaining that there's three guides about converting to GPE, why one more? Mine is also a repeated one, but with the procedure that worked.
[Moto G General] mobilephone01:
Same as before. It says "mfastboot stop working"

I could install GPe and boot it but does not recognize SD card.

When I flashing the GPe file. I can see the purple letter on phone display. Not all yellow latter.
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
I used the method from two more pcs and on one more phone just to be sure!

The method is fine.... Please Re-read the First Post.

Delete all your old files, Start from Scratch!
[Moto G General] syedtufailahmed:
can i root this rom and still get OTA updates?

first of all thanks [MENTION=5780497]deej_roamer[/MENTION]...it was of great help...this is what i exactly wanted to do with my device...but i have a question...what happens if i root? do i still get OTA updates?
[Moto G General] mobilephone01:
I think recovery was not good. I changed the recovery then no problem.

Yes. Your method has no problem.

Thank you.
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
OTA depends on the recovery, If you have stock recovery then, updates will be receivable!

But to get root flashing custom recovery is must.

So you will need to flash stock recovery after you root, to get OTA.

You might loose Root after OTA. You will need to root phone again after updating!
[Moto G General] syedtufailahmed:
i need the links!

it would be of great help if you can give me the links for custom recovery, stock recovery and root files...all the 3 gpe compatible!!!
[Moto G General] syedtufailahmed:
recovery is dead!!!

when i boot into recovery it shows a dead android logo...how can i fix that?...all i want to do is install custom recovery, root it and flashback stock recovery...so i need the procedure and any cmd prompt codings if necessary...

P.S. i am running stock gpe rom on my XT1033
[Moto G General] thelegendofzeth:
Stock recovery is the recovery.img from .zip. The rest you can have here.
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
Point Duly Noted, Added Things to description.

Here is a copy of that for you!

Point 1,2 are custom recoveries.

Point 3 explains the command to install recovery

Point 4,5 rooting tips
[Moto G General] syedtufailahmed:
stock recovery shows "no command"

I followed your instructions and first flashed custom recovery, then rooted and finally flashed stock recovery. After flashing I got "hab failed" and when I booted into recovery it showed "no command" with a dead android logo. Now what to do? Help plz :/
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
Yes that is the stock recovery. Now you wait untill an OTA is released, When it is released. It will automatically be updated!

Why do you sound afraid! It is what you wanted isnt it?
[Moto G General] syedtufailahmed:

Hey, did you figure out how to flash custom roms with single sim on this gpe rom?
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
After converting phone to GPe using this method, you can install custom rom using the Guides given in their respective forums
[Moto G General] blessyou:
are you sure? cuz ive tried that yesterday and i had that "cant end call bug"

ive used this method tho http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2661022

but i dont think its that different

ive tried installing CM11 and LEGO after that

or am i understanding it wrong?
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
Yes it is different, The method you used makes two different firmware's combination

The method currently in this thread has a specifically modded firmware Kind Of Semi-Official

Partitions BOOT, RECOVERY, LOGO, FSG (fsg_gpe.img) and MODEM are same as flashed on GPE devices.

Partitions FSG (fsg_intl.img) and SYSTEM are different. SYSTEM partition was created based on SYSTEM dump + fixed permissions+owner, timestamp, symlinks and meta-data, to appears like stock one.

So Try converting using this method and then flash ROMs like usual!
[Moto G General] nworoid:
Nice job man

how to confirm whether i have successfully run 1st method?
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
Does your phone boot up?
[Moto G General] nworoid:
Yes dear it boot.

one more help pl can i use any xt1032 ROM / kernel or any specific ROM / kernel only.
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
If it boots up and you see a google logo with an unlocked lock below you are in GPe

And you can install such ROMs.
[Moto G General] Aayushya:

[Moto G General] deej_roamer:

.
[Moto G General] dioxx:
but GPe supports both sim? i asked because i will receive a new moto G this week and m first plan is change the firmware
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
No GPe is raw version of XT1032 and that model doesn't support two Sims and that is why the converted moto G will also support single sim!! When you switch back to your own firmware, you will get dual sim support back! I HOPE that addresses your query.
[Moto G General] Miqueas111:
Have you tried to flash this GPe ROM into your XT1032 device?

[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
You need to flash stock recovery in order to get it to work!
[Moto G General] Semseddin:
The script worked fine without any error. This turned my XT1033 into XT1032 GPE edition. It even updated with OTA to 4.4.4. Thank you once again.

Liked the GPE rom :)
[Moto G General] Varun77:

[Moto G General] pravakarthami:
Can I convert xt1033 updated to 4.4.4 to GPE
[Moto G General] Vishalculty:
You can convert while on 4.4.2 and then upgrade to 4.4.4 which I did.
[Moto G General] pravakarthami:
will i be able to convert, I'm on 4.4.4 Motorola Stock
[Moto G General] Vishalculty:
Yes. I would reckon there are two ways.

1)Mod the bat file that converts non-gpe to gpe in such a way it accepts your 4.4.4

2) use moto tool for conversion.

As an additional safe trial method, you can perhaps flash back to 4.4.2 then convert to GPE and upgrade although downgrading to 4.4.2 has been causing some problems. I would choose choose this method. Wish I could try it out and report back but this is my daily driver.

Just remember to use the Brazilian ROM if you DO decide to downgrade and then convert.

Anyways, good luck and happy flashing.
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
The firmware for 4.4.2 was modded to run on xt1033, editing bat file doesn't seem like an option, I haven't tried it as busy with other work,

And Mototool doesn't work for xt1033

I believe a direct flash of the firmware should do what it was supposed to do, get you to 4.4.2 gpe

From there upgrade to 4.4.4

There are very few chances of partition difference

Which if exists, you will have to downgrade to 4.4.2 stock xt1033 convert it to GPe and update to 4.4.4
[Moto G General] Semseddin:
Hey,

Here's my situation. XT1033 converted to GPE 4.4.2, then OTA to 4.4.4 GPE. Everything is fine.

Now, i want to downgrade to Moto 4.4.2 and then OTA to 4.4.4 Moto but i can't. Is there a script for this ?

Thanks.
[Moto G General] bookworth:
I warmly suggest: please, do not do it. At least not before you've read the brick-case descriptions first.
[Moto G General] Semseddin:
[MENTION=5074704]bookworth[/MENTION],

Thanks for the warm suggestion. I already found a solution and posted here. :good:
[Moto G General] talhask:
Is it valid for XT1032??
[Moto G General] Semseddin:
Yes, if you use the xt1032 moto 4.4.4 as a base and replace 3 files from the xt1032 moto 4.4.4, use the same commands.
[Moto G General] Shivam Kuchhal:
Say, I only want to flash those files which are required to convert to GPE and not the ones from XT1033 system dump. What commands do I skip? As I have updated to XT1033 OTA of 4.4.4 and I don't want updated radios etc to get wiped. :)
[Moto G General] Anhketnhok:

[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
I don't believe it will work! I tried thinking it would work, but got constant System UI FCs.

You can try for your own satisfaction though.

Commands to be skipped are

mfastboot flash fsg fsg_intl.img
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1

Dual SIM working?

Does SIM 2 work?

Is there any fix for that?
[Moto G General] sidewalk_:
Converting your phone to GPS means that you only have one Sim activated at a time. If you want to keep dual sim active, do not convert to GPE. Do some reading before you do it.

Q: Does GPE feel laggy after converting?

A couple of months back I had converted my xt1033 dual sim to GPE successfully and got one Sim to work. But it felt very laggy when compared to stock Moto. Was that a bad install and should I consider converting again?

Are you serious!? Gpe for me is smoother than stock. Make sure you enable art and switch to nova launcher.

[Moto G General] jbanti:

GPE is the PUREST android ROM. IT GETS THE FASTEST ANDROID UPDATE...IT MIGHT GET ANDROID L FIRST, TOO. ONLY the single sim moto g XT1032 has an official GPE rom that was sold through GOOGLE PLAY, by GOOGLE. The dual sim moto g XT1033 does/did not have/get the GPE ROM version SOLD THROUGH GOOGLE PLAY. PEOPLE convert to GPE because it converts DUAL SIM XT1033 to SINGLE SIM XT1032 so that they can flash ROMS THAT ONLY WORK WITH SINGLE SIM XT1032 for example PARANOID ANDROID THATS WHY SOMWTIMES IN ROM PAGE IT SAYS "CONVERT TO GPW FIRST".

[Moto G General] Meuuks13:
I know this is stupid but can you list the advantages of GPe other than receiving updates quickly?
[Moto G General] andogeek10:
For me the biggest advantage of converting to GPE was the fact that I could flash any XT1032 rom I want, since there are very few roms which support dual-sim. Other than that, another advantage is that GPE firmware is almost completely AOSP.

Got some doubts

Am sorry for asking noob questions, but i would like to get my doubts cleared :( to avoid confusion ahead.

1) What means "mixed" in the name of the thread, isn't this original GPE firmware that is pre installed on MotoG GPE

2) Do we get OTA updates? If i just convert into GPE, no custom recovery or Root! ( Converting into GPE, just for Lolipop update :P, so plesse answer)

3) Can i revert back into XT1033 after converting GPE, by following the. method mentioned in OP

Thanks! N please keep clear my doubts
[Moto G General] deej_roamer:
1 it's not stock firmware that comes pre installed on moto g gpe, this is a mixed version with a custom system.img and other gpe files with telephony layer of XT1032

2 you will get OTA updates
