A ROM based on the Retail Brazil 'Soak Test' would not boot with my Bootloader (v41.13) - however the TWRP backup

will boot on my phone

. I haven't investigated why, but will try again when a final OTA Update rolls out.

There are numerous issues that may be due to this being a 'Soak Test' (unlikely) or due to not having the Lollipop Bootloader (v41.18) (more likely) - as I say, it's better to wait for a final version.

Please,

I have i guess the Moto G XT1032, retail. I am using the custom Epsilon V5, which is definitely the best rom for Moto G, overall.

But i was wondering what would happen if i flash my Moto G XT1032 with the GPe version under XT1032 from link above?

I was wondering would this let me upgrade do Lollipop, since i heard that the GPe versions have available OTAs.

In general, using a custom rom and if i want wait and upgrade later once it comes out, can i just flash the stock rom&kernel and so upgrade it automatically once there is OTA upgrade, or do i have to do one of those complicated procedures to restore to stock Moto G and then do OTA upgrade?

Thank you very much!

I'll assume you mean 'Deodexed' - Why do you want deodexing? It breaks ART compatibility. The only benefit of deodexing is that it allows theming, and if you want that; a new ROM has to be built anyway.

It's been discussed before here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2644340

Really you should just wait and flash the Motorola Lollipop ROMs when available. There will be a debloated 'Optimized' version with Google and Motorola bloat removed, but you can still install any Motorola apps you want with ease via Play Store.
[Moto G Android Development] zarac:
Hi lost101, thank you for your time and effort - great job. I am a xt1032 user with your "optimized" version and I couldn't be happier with it. The phone runs great and it gives me 2-3 days of battery, depending on use.

My brother recently bought a Moto G 3G (xt1039) and I couldn't find anything similar to your optimized versions. Would you be so kind to make one? 4G really affects the battery in a bad way, so removing some google and motorola services and bloat could help with that.

If what I'm asking is too much, is simply removing or freezing the apps you mentioned (http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=p4jTAv0i) enough?

Hi there,

Just wondering if I can flash the optimised XT1032 EU on my Moto G with the US Retail 4.4.2 [172.44.4.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US], which I put on when KK first came out in the US.

I followed a tutorial on Modaco, but have not allowed upgrades since, because I am rooted, with the TWRP Recovery, and I think there were some other system changes, like to the HSPA icon and a carrier message icon which I got rid of.

OTA's would not work, I think because of the custom recovery and other stuff above.

I got sick, with cancer, and lost interest, but now on the mend, I'd like to get the phone up to date, as I am giving it to my dear wife.

So, will the flash of the optimised Stock ROM allow OTA's from Motorola, even with TWRP still there, or do I need to replace the recovery with Stock before allowing OTA? Botloader was unlocked a long time ago.

Will root cause any problem with OTA?

Would changes such as different Launcher, or Xposed Modules cause OTA to fail?

Sorry for all the questions, but , as I said, I am rusty and not up to speed, after the illness, and ongoing treatment.

Thanks in advance, and cheers on all the good work here.

Danny.
[Moto G Android Development] lost101:
For simplicity I suggest you 'fastboot flash' the latest Retail EU KitKat firmware image - available here. I would not advise accepting the Lollipop OTA Update, but rather wait until there is a full firmware image - which should not take very long after OTA roll-out.

Fastboot tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 (NB: the command: fasboot erase userdata - will wipe all photos and personal data - but is recommended for a clean start)

Fastboot executables: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567719065

You can replace the included recovery.img with TWRP - rename the 'TWRP.img' to 'recovery.img' and flash using the specified command.

Fastboot commands: (use no other commands, only these)

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

mfastboot flash logo logo.bin

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

mfastboot erase modemst1

mfastboot erase modemst2

mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

mfastboot erase cache

mfastboot erase userdata​

Latest TWRP: http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2980621

After flashing the firmware image, boot into TWRP and choose the reboot option - you will be offered the chance to root the ROM.

If you want to remove some of the BLOAT - Custom Recovery scripts are available.

Sorry to hear about your illness, hope you fully recover.

[Moto G Android Development] methuselah:
hey i have something to ask important

[MENTION=1006674]lost101[/MENTION]

i use moto g xt1033

i want to ask you that i had a backup of my rom right after i unlocked my bootloader, i make that backup using clockworkmod recovery. now once if i recieve the notification that update of lollipop is avaliable for my phone, then what if i will revert back to the last backup that i made that time by flashing the cwm recovery again,

my question starts here. will if i use the supersu to unroot the ROM backup will i be able to flash OTA by flashing official recovery ?:confused:

i asked this to chainfire

he gave me this reply

Got myself a Moto G 2014 (dual sim) to try and figure out what the problem was. Works fine for me now, let me know if *any* bootloops still occur for you MotoG users.

should i risk myself for this backup thing ??
[Moto G Android Development] irishpancake:
Thank you lost101.....for your rapid response to my query.

Very much obliged, and thanks very much for your good wishes on my illness.

The procedure you have shown above is virtually that which I used to flash the US ROM originally, via Fastboot, to get KitKat originally!!

I think this was the procedure, back in Dec 2003....fibblesan!!

Is there a problem for me with directly flashing the optimised 4.4.4 ROM [EU or US] via your flashable zips in Recovery?

I have the latest TWRP [2.8.3.0], which I flashed with the TWRP Manager app.

If I do all wipes, will there be a problem?

I was hoping for the optimised/debloated ROM all-in-one, as it were ;)

Is there a huge difference in the US and EU ROMs? [I found everything worked OK with the US 4.4.2 ROM I flashed originally??]

Thanks again for your time, I appreciate it.

Sorry Admin, I should have known that.

[Moto G Android Development] alkspo:
at first i tried dirty flashing this rom over 4.4.4 canada firmware stock... completely messed up my phone, wouldn't boot even after 15 minutes lol.

Wiped everything, and flashed, and the rom works fine. I then attempted to restore just data from my nandroid.... bricked yet again.

Reflashed the rom after wiping everything, but this time restored my apps/data using titanium backup. I'm guessing some of my previous settings/data tied to my previous firmware caused the issue?

anyways, great rom, much smoother (not sure if placebo yet tho)

One thing i strongly dislike is the new bootanimation, is there a way to get the old motorola one back? if not it's alright thanks alot

edit: one thing i forgot to mention, it seems the xt1032 rom isn't rooted. I have the superuser app, but the binaries aren't there. Thus i have to "re-root" it by flashing root in recovery

I flashed it on my wife's phone last night and at first, being lazy I hadn't wiped the data and it would not boot. But after doing a complete wipe, when back in recovery, and flashing it again it booted fine, with the usual delay of a first set up, and has worked fine ever since. I installed Titanium backup on her phone and it asked for,and was granted, root permission, and restored some of her backed up apps. That also worked a treat.

All seems well and the boot animation is fine but easy enough for the end user to change.

A certain percentage of people brick during the OTA Update to Lollipop. Even those that have not unlocked their bootloader. My advice is to wait for the 'full firmware image.'

Regarding restoring a KitKat backup, I believe you will need to flash the KitKat 'full firmware image' first, as this includes the KitKat partition table - BUT I seriously advise against try to downgrade; as the consequences if you do it incorrectly are fatal.

Yes you can wipe and flash the Retail EU 4.4.4 Optimized ROM via TWRP. You may need to also flash the 4.4.4 Retail EU radio available here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2649763

I do warn you again, allowing this ROM to upgrade via OTA Update to Lollipop may brick the phone. It is better to wait for the Lollipop Optimized ROM which I will create as soon as the 'firmware images' are available.
[Moto G Android Development] irishpancake:
Thank you. [Sorry for asking in this thread, but it would mean losing the thread if I went to your Q&A]

So, I will disable OTA Notifications, which I have done previously, by disabling MotorolaOTA and unchecking "show notifications"??

Or, there is a method here, http://mobilesquash.com/how-to-disable-ota-update-notification/.

Can I ask, if it is necessary to flash the Radio, is it best to do that before the wipes and flashing the ROM, as surely the wipes will destroy those zips on the phone?
[Moto G Android Development] methuselah:
Thank it means I will stay back
[Moto G Android Development] lost101:
Yes, that should disable the OTA Update Notification. I regret not doing this myself - it will be a feature of the Lollipop Optimized ROMs.

Some people get an error when entering the 'Settings' menu - this is caused by not having the 4.4.4 radio. You can flash the radio at any stage. A wipe (factory reset) in Custom Recovery does not affect the phone's internal storage (/sdcard/) - unless you specify otherwise.
