Difference bewtween retail LA and Brazil

Hello, do you know what's the difference between KitKat 4.4.4 Retail LA and Brazil ROM's? I live in Argentina and own a XT1040 version. About 2 months ago I have installed the brazilian version, but now I find that there is an LA version. So I want to know if there's any difference that worth changing ROM or not...

Thank you!!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saimonsez:
That may have been the case, I'm not sure anymore because it became my stepmother's phone. Benefit's? Waranty if ever needed (Europe), tighter security, and a proper boot logo without that ugly warning. I don't know how to flash a custom logo without loosing OTA.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vpnair:
Yeah thats good. Just note that falcon uses differently named system.img files (It starts at sparsechunk.0 for us, NOT at 1). Just make sure you flash all the system files in order when you go through the fastboot commands. :)

Probably not worth it, i suspect there is minor differences (modem related) that you probably wont even notice. Feel free to flash it as it has same CID. If you want you can omit the modem commands to maintain your current modem. Everything else is probably the same between the two.

Skip the following when flashing to keep modem-

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

The commands you have written appear to be right. Dont know what else could cause it...try an older Android 4.4.4 XT1039 firmware? Maybe its just the file you are using.

AFAIK relocking bootloader doesn't hide that you have unlocked it, so warranty shouldn't matter (at least where i live). Security isn't an issue. The bootlogo may be the only annoying thing. Easily flashed, although I dont know if custom bootlogo alone will prevent OTA from flashing. If it does, you can easily restore it and OTA will be successful. If you aren't going to get phone from her to do this, then just disable Motorola OTA system app and she wont receive any OTA. The current Android 4.4.4 build is really stable, and not receiving OTA to lollipop is probably not a big issue anyway!

Hi guys, GPS is now working per answer for Q7 in the first post, thanks a lot!

now I a feel like experimenting a bit and would like to know if anybody had done similar things before and can advise what problems I will face.

So, I have CM12 installed on my XT1045 (US retail, CID = 9), and I would like to have working LTE band 2600, which works either in Canada (XT1040, CID = 14) or Europe (XT1039, CID = 7).

For example, I'd like to proceed with European version, so I download appropriate stock firmware from the thread http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/4g-development/xt1039-moto-g-4g-stock-firmware-kxb21-t2805619 and follow instructions from this thread (I've read it completely, seems that nobody yet tried or tried but not posted the results).

Questions are:

1. Do the modem drivers change when going from 4.4.4 (or 4.4.3) to 5.0.2?

i.e. in order to change my modem drivers, do I have to flash 4.4.4 firmware completely, and then go back to CM12?

or in case they are not being updated, can I use only commands

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

to update modem to European version?

2. In case I do complete flash of European firmware, or just the modem files, what chances of getting my phone soft brick/brick? Or it simply won't boot up and I will be able to go to fastboot screen and flash XT1045 CID9 firmware?

Thanks in advance.

Xt1040 cid7

Hello. Ive been following this thread for a few days now, as I accidentally mismatched my Moto g LTE(xt1040) with an xt1032 furtherly almost bricking my phone. Fastforward, after some days of trial-error, my phone entered bootloop, but again it was trial-error to get itup agaoin. I am from Colombia, and originally had a Telefonica Moto g LTE phone(movistar). Sadly, yesterday Imanaged to get it started, only to discover that it didn´t recognize my micro sim(it is an original micro sim, not a cutted sim). I searched the web, and tried with a friends micro sim also from Movistar, but it did not recognize his either. I have installed the Brazilian XT1040 Rtail brand CID 12 firmware, with 4.4.4. IS this a softwareproblem or a Hardware problem?(If it wa a hardware the contacts wouldbe damaged, but at first sight they are not. )

Update: Gonna try with the telefonica xt1040 cid12 4.4.4(XT1040_TELEFONICA-LA-SS_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.65_cid12_CFC_1FF_SVC.xml.zip) firmware, and see if it gets activated.

Could someone tell me pls what to do?

Or at least of flashng a CID12 into a cID7 might have damaged my Sim Recognition?

There are partitions unique to each handset. It sounds like you have overwritten those sensitive partitions. It's an easy mistake to make, but unfortunately it has probably cost you this phone.

The key is probably to restore the 'pds' partition that is included in a full TWRP backup. That is the only unique partition.

I got an invite to the soak test in the UK - when the e-mail arrived inviting me, it specifically said in the e-mail and/or the survey that discussing the soak test in social media and forums outside the official restricted Motorola forums could get you banned from the test, and would make Moto unhappy. So it was pretty obvious. :)

I believe that Motorola were working on an update for 5.0.x but before it was read to ship, google released 5.1 with enough core android fixes, that Motorola decided to focus on working on that version and skip 5.0 for those devices they had not already released a lollipop update. They have already run some limited testing in Brazil, so we are all hoping to see it get a full roll-out for all the various models - hopefully soon.

Yes, the whole procedure seems to have taken a lot of time. I wonder just how big the development team for Motorola actually is these days. They have quite a large number of models that it seems were/are supposed to be getting Lollipop upgrades.
