Thanks for posting this thread.

It's definitely worth posting here as far as I'm concerned. I don't wish to wade into the vanilla Moto G forums if I can avoid it.

Hopefully I'll never need these instructions, but good to know they're here if I ever need them.

I have a US retail XT1045 Moto G bought from Amazon. It's running Android 4.4.3.

I unlocked my bootloader, replaced the warning screen, and rooted it. Looking forward to putting TWRP and a custom ROM on it when I get my PC back.

Sent from XT1045 running XDA Premium app. Peace!
[Moto G General] meekrawb:
Nice to see you here. Got one of these for the wife. She likes it way better than the t679! I would get one too if the Nexus 6 wasn't around the corner.
[Moto G General] jensen2112:
That’s right. There is a lot of threads about the Moto G, but for the LTE there isn’t lots of them. In a matter of time the community will grow. Now I just want to help the users, and I think that I am doing right.

I know about the errors, when I try to restore my phone to stock I try a few times before I can succeed, I succeed by my own and reading a lot. Once I successfully restore to stock I decide to make a thread so the others don’t make the same mistakes and errors that I made.

When I was going to post the thread I think and I was something confused if I post the thread in Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting or Moto G 4G Android Development section. I decide in the Development because I as a user when I first search for my 4G version, I search in the 4G threads. Not the Q&A or General. I am looking for the 4G, not the “Not 4G version”. And since that there is not lots of threads in here, it would be better for the users. This is not the first thread of “back to stock” in Development section in XDA.

Yes, I like to give credits. I prefer to give credits. I know I could make this as totally mine and my ideas. But no, I am here to help, and being helped, that’s all. In a future I don’t want to have some “discussion” or “problem” in here about the info that I use, or something about their thread, stealing info, etc etc, you understand. I prefer to give credits.

And thanks for being sincere about what you think.

You're welcome.

In my case I only have one phone right now, this one. I need a stable phone and rom. I am running stock KK 4.4.3, I unlock my bootloader, and I root my device. In my personal thinking, I don’t want another rom or recovery, only the 4.4.4, the one that as far as I know it is not available to our devices yet. As I know there is not a really stable recovery to our devices, I only want root.

Why don’t you do what I do?

I unlock the booloader, root the device, and install the Xposed Framework.

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053

With the Xposed Framework installed and Gravity Box KK module from their repositories in the Download section I make almost everything of what I use to do in the custom roms. With Xposed, and Gravity Box I don’t need a custom rom for now.
[Moto G General] Brian D:
I think this is a good thread. The information is tailored for the XT1045 user. I am not new to Android, but I am new to the XT1045 and I sure don't want to read about other Moto G devices that have nothing to do with the XT1045.

With that, the only criticism I have is using terms that the new guys will not fully understand, or instructions without steps to complete the instruction. Like boot into bootloader mode. I will have to research that to find the way to do it. However, if you say boot in bootloader mode and then give instruction on how, the battle is won.

I know this may sound silly, but having step by step is valid. I just ordered the XT1045 and should have it in a few days. I have at this time no plans to root or anything else. Not until I understand the device. I did the same with my SGT3 10" tablet. I had no problems because there were good step by step instructions on how to root.

The other device I was look at before buying the XT1045 was the Nexus 5. I found a thread that gave such detail instruction that it was not needed to look anywhere else. Here is the link so you see what I mean: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905

I am sure this info is available elsewhere, but it was all right in one posting. I have never seen anything like it before. It was well written.

Thanks for you set of instructions for the XT1045.
[Moto G General] alysia00:
Yep, still on 4.4.3. Even the Verizon version has it now :|
[Moto G General] ApriliaM3:
I've had a cleanup in here guys and I'd prefer not to have to return for the same reasons.

If you've got nothing constructive to add to the discussion, don't even bother posting.

I'm not going to single anyone out at this stage but the negativity and sense of entitlement around here is ridiculous.

Everyone has a right to their opinion but that's where your entitlement ends as far as I'm concerned.

Your right does NOT extend to posting your negative opinion here and derailing a thread from it's original intent - TO HELP PEOPLE.

If you think you can do a better job, by all means - make your own thread.

[Moto G General] FoneWatcher:
Ah, okay. I (like a lot of us here do) have a slight phone fetish, as well (as you can see in my sig.)

Normally, I buy last year's flagships so I can get two phones for the price of one current flagship.

Originally I had bought a Moto G, then traded up to a 4G - to use a "backup" weekend phone.

Then two strange things happened: 1. I started carrying around my virginal white-on-white 4G LTE more than my flagship phones because it's so incredible and beautiful, so I became paranoid. The I realized that at $229, it cost almost as much as my used flagships G2 D801 and One M7 (275 and 300, respectively), so I'm as nervous about the 4G.

So last week I bought a cheap unlocked used 8GB MotoG for $119 as my "beater" and test mule. Rooted, Xposed GEL and - you guessed it - now this is my new favorite daily driver.

Is there a cwm flashable zip of the stock rom for the moto g 4g lte?

Is it possible to use this method to downgrade to 4.4.3 stock? I was originally on the updated 4.4.4, I rooted, installed CM, and now I'm going to likely sell the phone soon so a definitive Y/N answer and if possible a reason why would be appreciated. Thanks.

No, this guide won't work for downgrading the device. I already try, the phone say something about the mismatch in the partitions. Please, read the "Disclaimer" info in the thread.

Wandering to clarify things

Hello everyone. I need your help with a few questions I've got about the XT1045.

A couple of weeks ago I've got 2 Moto g 4G (XT1045 US Retail) from Amazon for my mother and my sister, as my sister lives in a different city I thought it would be a good idea to gave her the device already updated to 4.4.4 with the bootloader unlocked, with custom recovery (CWM) and rooted. (you know... just in case...)

The thing is a few guys on g+ community told me that now the device won't be able to get Lollipop update, so I thought perhaps I should undo what I did. Got to do some reading and as I understand I cannot downgrade to stock (leave the device as it was just out of the box). Is that correct? Am I wrong? If I leave the device as it is, would it upgrade to Lollipop without issues?

I've done all this things before with my own devices, without major issues, but it my first with a Motorola, so...

The device is going to be my sister's xmas gift, and I just want her to have it the best way possible, so any help clarifing this things would be greatly appreciated.
[Moto G General] NWKENT:
Sir..for the device of take the v5.0 Lollipop update, the stock recovery must me installed, TWRP or CMD recoveries cannot be present, the OTA update is looking for a stock device, you also must "unroot" the device if Rooted..unlocked bootloader is no problem..

I am stuck on the fastboot screen. I originally was trying to flash the US retail firmware (RETUS_XT1045_4.4.4) onto my cricket-purchased phone, but encountered some "Preflash validation failed" errors and it wouldn't boot up. When I gave up and went to reflash the cricket firmware, most of it flashed over okay, but boot.img and partition gpt.bat still gave me a "<bootloader> Preflash validation failed. FAILED <remote failure>" error, and it won't go past the fastboot screen, now.

Anyone have any thoughts? the start of the fastboot screen says "failed to validate boot image." and "fastboot reason: fall-through from normal boot mode.".

ANy way to get the 5.1 update here?
[Moto G General] darknomad23:
First of all, thank you for this guide!!!!

I know this thread is somewhat struggling on it's zombie legs, but it has been a huge boon for me in getting the 5.1 OTA update working on my retail us xt1045.

Few things I can share from my experience:

-- Before this thread my phone had unlocked bootloader and root but still stock

-- I had previously OTA updated to 4.4.4 and used this guide to downgrade to 4.4.3 without root. After following this thread, I OTA upped to 4.4.4, waited a bit then OTA up to 5.1

-- mfastboot did not work on USB 3, needed to plug in to USB 2 port

-- "mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin" returned a FAILED message (preflash validation error I believe) but other commands were all OKAY and overall success

Really happy to be on stock 5.1 with the help of this guide and the others linked within, and all to best to others on the same journey.

[MENTION=6769147]killroy18[/MENTION] The phone stay in bootloader after the "mfastboot reboot" command?

[MENTION=4738556]RonnieTheBear[/MENTION] I update the guide with a Changelog section. The problem here is that I already am in Lollipop. I can't test your problem, sorry.

Btw, seeing at your getvar all I see that it says (bootloader) unlocked: no, (bootloader) iswarrantyvoid: no. Do you have unlock your booloader with Motorola?

[MENTION=4051694]masantula[/MENTION] If you have a stock ROM in version 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 the device will "automatically"(your confirmation) update via OTA. You must have the latest Motorola Updates Services from the play store in order to update to 5.1 via OTA.

[MENTION=2783506]darknomad23[/MENTION] Hey, thanks for sharing your experience with us. I was just like you in 4.4.4 root. I downgrade to 4.4.3 using that same commands, and I have that same error in the "mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin". I ignore the error and proceed with the others, once I reboot, it was a successful flash to 4.4.3. I update via OTA and now I am too in 5.1 :)

[Moto G General] MrSmileyJr:
Thank you for these instructions.

I have a Cricket XT1045 that was behaving strangely, so I rebooted and it booted the logo but then blank screen. I tried to fastboot & go to recovery to try to backup my files and it gives me an error message "boot up failed."

I tried these instructions using the CRICKET_XT1045_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.45_cid16_CFC.xml files to try to restore to stock (thought my CID is 10 not 16) and even though it gave me no errors when flashing, it continues to boot to a blank screen and recovery boot up failed.

Some speculate the internal flash chip failed and it is a complete hard brick.
