According to the terms and conditions that Motorola provide it states that unless your device is a DEV edition or PURE edition unlocking your bootloader voids all warranty. I got this message as I was about to unlock my bootloader so I decided against it for the time being.

It seems that Motorola has its own rules when it comes to unlocking the device. I am in the UK.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smitharro:
As far as I know the UK is in the European Union. That means that unlocking the bootloader does not mean your warranty is void. Motorola has to prove that the damage on your phone is due to the software you installed. That's the common law in the EU. The only way to to avoid that law for a manufacturer like Motorola is not to sell in the European Union. So in case of a hardbrick: Motorola has to prove that this was because you unlocked your bootloader...

Single SIM - Dual SIM Moto G (2014)

I am considering buying Moto G (2014), but it's Dual SIM version.

Are there any differences in ROMs between Single and Dual SIM versions? Can I use this forum, or there is another one on xda?

Also, I found an offer of MediaWorld for Motorola G5 (?!?!), with the same specs as this one. Are those the same phones, or not?

EDIT: GSM Arena says that it doesn't support 4G?! True or false?

Thanks.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfcity:
This forum is for all variants of the Moto G 2014 2nd generation.

It doesn't support 4g.

The roms are very similar but not the same.There are indian and european versions called XT1068 which are almost equal and alike the brazillian XT1069.

The same applies to the XT1063 and XT1064 (US).

Never heard of a Moto G 5,maybe they mean this phone because of the 5" display and the other one is Moto G 1st Generation and just build in 2014.

The specs are almost the same.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M@c|-|oR:
Thanks for the replies, mate.

So, if I buy and want to flash a custom ROM, I need to make sure that the versions match? I'll read more about that, of course when the time comes. Now, I am just getting pre-informed before the decision. I am to decide between this and HTC Desire 620(G), with very similar specs.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfcity:
Yes,that´s how it works. A good custom ROM,namend Titan Prime has two variants,the one features XT1068/69: http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/development/rom-1-tweet-rate-thread-add-poll-titan-t2989793 ,the other XT1063/64: http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/development/rom-titan-prime-romversion-1-0-t2989101 .

A lot of things are the same for all models,like unlockling bootloader,flashing custom recoverys and so on.

The decision between the HTC and the Moto G is up to you, the HTC has a Mediatek chipset (I assume) which can make customizing a bit more difficult and I don´t know if there is a lot of development but you can check that out by yourself. For me the Moto G was a good choice.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M@c|-|oR:
[MENTION=5237901]Wolfcity[/MENTION], mate maybe some more help from you.... :o

Moving from HTC One X (almost three years of the most loyal service :) ), what can I expect from Moto G2? On paper, the specs are almost the same (HOX is even a bit faster 1.5 vs. 1.2 GHz quad).

When I bought it, it was a flagship, today's midrangers are coming with such specs.

In terms of battery, fluidity, responsiveness, overall performance, what could you tell me (and other potential buyers, of course :) )?

From which phone did you move to Moto?

:confused:
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfcity:
The Moto G is not a flagship and I belive the specs oft the HTC are still satisfying. I had some different phones in use before the Moto,mostly models you can't compare like the Sony Xperia St15i, some chinese things like Cubot 99 and a Samsung S2. The move to the Moto G was like entering a new world. It's very fluid,responsive and fast, feels as if there is "more" hardware in it. My girlfriend has a Lenovo Vibe Z which has much better specs like 2gb RAM and a quadcore clocking with 2,2 MHz and for me there is no feelable difference.Also my Nexus 7 2013 doesn't vary very much what the daily performance concerns.

It has to be said that there is a memory problem with the Moto which shows up while multitasking and some apps are forcedclosing. You´ll find a lot about that here on XDA.

This behavior is told to be much better with lollipop and I think Motorola/Google will fix this completly in the near future. As I am not a hardcore user,this was never a big deal for me even running kitkat. The only thing I´ve recognized was stopping music (poweramp) when taking a photo.

Battery is fine for me,it´s surely one of the better ones but it´s not the big powersaver. You will get over the day with it. Stats: http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/general/post-battery-t2873233

I´m absolutely happy with the Moto G and there are not many phones out there doing such a good job for the money.

No rooting without unlocking bootloader.

To unlock your bootloader follow this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/general/wip-unlock-bootloader-moto-g-2nd-gen-t2875728

First way:

Flash TWRP 2.8.5.0.: http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t297 (DL-link in first post).

Downoald latest superSU.zip http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

and flash it through TWRP.

You´ll need newest Motorola drivers (Motoroal homepage) and Minimal ADB and fastboot: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42407269#post42407269

Second way:

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfcity:
Yes, you can just temporary boot into TWRP 2.8.5.0 instead of flashing it.

Just change the command to fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-titan.img instead of fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-titan.img for flashing.

The TWRP image must be stored in your Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder where also the fastboot.exe is.

The superSU.zip must be stored in your phones internal memory.

Noob learning to root for CM

Hi, I'm just starting to get the hang of things, bought a used T-Mobile Lollipop Moto G 2014 to learn on with Ting.

I'd like to put Cyanogenmod on my Moto G, but I'm having some trouble getting ADB to see it. I've done a fair bit of reading, and think I now have an inkling of how to ask my question semi-intelligently.

I tapped Build number 7 times and turned on developer options, and enabled USB debugging.

I was able to boot into Fastboot mode with power + volume down, and used the codes from the Motorola website to unlock the bootloader. I get a warning message now when I turn the phone on.

I initially tried to do the unlocking from my Kubuntu partition, but somehow couldn't quite get it to work. (Apparently in doing so, or coincidentally, I've hosed up the OS, and KDE won't load anymore, it hangs after login. The error message for Kubuntu cites some problem with USB, so it's probably a file I edited while messing with the settings to enable connecting to the phone via USB. The Windows 7-64 partition still works, so I'm trying to install from that now.)

Now when I connect the phone, Fastboot gives me a serial number for the device with "Fastboot devices," but ADB gives me "Error: device not found" in response to "ADB reboot bootloader." 'ADB devices" gives a blank space for a list. It does respond appropriately to "ADB kill-server" and "ADB start-server," so I don't think the problem is with ADB itself, but just in case, I've tried installing the full Google Android Developer suite, and just the SDK tools, and for drivers I've tried the Motorloa drivers, the whole motorola Moto G 2014 suite of software, and Koush's universal USB drivers.

The adb and fastboot were installed (variously, by various instances of Android development software bundles) in

Program Files(x86)\Android\...

Program Files\Android\...

Users\me\Appdata\Local\Android\Android-SDK\platform-tools

Users\me\Appdata\Local\Android\SDK\platform-tools

I looked at the SDK Manager in the directory one level above platform-tools to make sure I had SDK Tools, SDK Platform-tools, and the Google USB driver (under Extras at the bottom) installed.

I tried different cables, since I got the phone off ebay, and it came with a Motorola wall charger that doesn't connect to the charging block with a usb connector. I used the cable from a Samsung GS3, one from a Samsung GS4, one from a Kindle, one from a cheap Azpen Android tablet, and one from a Nook, just in case that mattered. No dice.

I tried all the USB ports on the laptop.

I'm starting to think there's something basic I'm missing here. I read today on XDA's Moto G 2014 FAQ by Lucas Eugene that the Moto drivers seem not to work for Windows 7 64-bit. Perhaps this is all in vain? One commenter said he got the Moto Devicemanager 2.5.4 to work, but no joy for me. I did notice that in Devices and Printers, it lists the phone as Fastboot Titan S, with no mention of ADB--some commenters had mentioned theirs as named with ADB. Perhaps this confirms lack of a serviceable driver scenario?

Thanks in advance for any sage advice!

Regards,

Ed
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] echeddar:
follow-up

Tried it on Win 8 PC, no dice.

This time I tried with Minimal ADB and Fastboot, then with Koush's Universal USB driver, then added Motorola's Device Manager.

If I hold vol down and power, I can connect with fastboot through terminal started as Admin, and it will tell me the device serial number, but I still get no devices with ADB.

Regards,

Ed

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

Should I be needing to manually install ADB drivers apart from installing the Minimal ADB adn Fastboot?

I'm reading examples like on TeamAndroid how-to-set-up-adb-fastboot-with-android-sdk/2/ (can't post links yet)

and it describes how to force the association with the ADB driver in device manager.

Honestly, I've searched my computer a bit, and am not certain where the Motorola Device Manager put the driver files, and so I'm not sure I could point to it with the "Have Disk" option to pick the drivers.

What you need for adb and fastboot are the google usb drivers and the fastboot.exe and adb.exe including 2 .dlls which come bundled in the adb+fastboot .zip's you can find around on xda. The latest adb+fastboot version I could find can be downloaded from here:

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one/general/tool-updated-adb-version-1-0-32-fastboot-t2932160

Google usb drivers from here including the guide on how to install them:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#top

I don't know if it is even required to have the motorola drivers installed (Motorola device manager). I did install them regardless though.

Oh and you don't need adb to install cm. If "fastboot devices" returns "xxxxxx fastboot" you are set to continue. You will be flashing the boot logo to get rid of the unlock message and a custom recovery like twrp from the bootloader menu with the fastboot commands, using the guides in the 1st page of this thread. You may need to upgrade your bootloader also to version 48.82 (4882) or newer. You can see your current version at the top of the fastboot menu. A link the upgrade instructions can be found in cm development thread.

Once that is done you can install the cm .zip by booting into twrp recovery and that is pretty much it.
