Only thing I see on here is all gapps, + motorola alert app, motorola assist app, motorola migration app, and my consumer cellular app.

Just got the phone unlocked for $2.19 yesterday. Tmobile sim works without any problems.

The real question is what stock rom do you flash it with?

Android 4.4.4

Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US	497.1 MiB	B44FFE73058EBB8B85C853151F8C3E36

Thanks for the quick update!

What do you do to get the phone unlocked for $2.19?

The other question I'm trying to chase an answer down on is if apps will be able to be moved to SD memory once 5.0 Lollipop comes along. No one may be able to answer that question until after it's released.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diamondjoker5:
I used one of the ebay sellers that offer unlocking services. They go through unlock scout as the provider. Took a couple of hours to get the unlock code.

PM me if you need more details.

From what i remember, once rooted i was able to use link2sd to force move apps and data to sd card on my previous phones.

How is the data speed on T-Mobile, I think it's more optimized for HSPA AT&T so H2O would likely work better.

AWS rom/modem details?

Can I request a little more info regarding AWS portion? Which exact ROM/modem combo has it? Anyone who recently got Consumer Cellular model and using unlocked with T-mobile can provide an input? Thanks again.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bellj949:
Just wanted to share my experience to help others. I bought the Moto G EXT from Consumer Cellular and it is the exact same hardware as the unlocked Moto G 2nd Gen my wife has. The firmware/ROM is different than the unlocked version. As others have mentioned there really isn't much bloat or anything too crazy. Some features such as tethering have been removed from the settings and the Consumer Cellular app is pre-installed an you cannot remove it. There were some other minor things locked down but nothing major or intrusive.

I wanted to just get the stock image on there just because. Also since there were some changes to the firmware (like removing tethering) I wasn't sure how quickly CC would be updating to Lollipop and wanted to be able to update as soon as I could. I got my unlock code from Motorola and unlocked the bootloader (which to be clear is different than the SIM unlock code mentioned in earlier posts).

I was able to get the Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US firmware installed and everything works as expected; I was back to stock and couldn't find any differences between my phone and my wife's. My only caveat was I was not able to re-lock the bootloader after installing the stock firmware. I thought I would be able too since it would be a stock, signed image from Motorola but I kept getting errors on the phone saying "Failed to validate System Image" and an error on the command line stating "sst lock failure!"

I tried a couple different ways to lock it but never could. I am not sure if I have to get the original firmware from Consumer cellular (I wasn't able to find it) to be able to lock it again, but I am assuming that is what is needed. I forgot to write down the original firmware name was but I know it was different than the System Version that now displays so it must have been a special CC build. Even if I had it I am not sure where I could find it. I searched for a little bit without luck but it is a pretty new phone from CC so maybe with time it will show up.

It isn't that big of a deal to me to run with an unlocked bootloader, but I sort of wish I would have just paid the extra $30 or so and got the unlocked one from Best Buy or Amazon instead of the Moto G EXT from CC so I could lock it if I wanted/needed to.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edog11:
I got a great deal on the moto g ext at sears for $112(using coupons and surprise points)and $29 shwy points back. The system version is 21.11.23.titan_ccaws_AWSCC.en.US cc, build number KXB21.85-23. The original moto g had instructions stickied in the general forum on how to flash stock firmware without unlocking bootlocker using mfastboot. Could I use those instructions to flash retail firmware for the moto g 2014? Is there stock firmware available for the moto g 2014(xt 1064)? . Any help would be appreciated . My main reason is to get tether option in the settings which is missing from consumer cellular ROM and be able to receive updates from motorola.

[MENTION=4390375]edog11[/MENTION] were you able to find a way to flash without unlocking bootloader?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bellj949:
I used this FAQ for most of my info about this process - http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/help/wip-frequently-questions-moto-g-2nd-gen-t2875723 - and there is a link specifically to this page in that FAQ - http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t2873657. Some of the flashes got errors on the phone but it all worked just fine even though I received the errors. Wish I would have noted all the different messages on the phone and command line for reference. Now I have my phone setup like I want and don't want to have to go through everything again. Once Lollipop is available for the Moto G 2014 I will be going through the same process and will take better notes.

I have the single SIM US GSM Moto G 2014 (XT1064) so I downloaded the Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US firmware from - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=36 - instead of using the link from the guide. If you have a different model you will need a different firmware. Remove the battery cover to find which XTnnnn version you have.

As noted above once you do this you will not be able to re-lock the bootloader. Or maybe I am doing something wrong and that is why I am not able to re-lock. If anyone was able to relock the CC version with the stock firmware please share your steps!
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edog11:
I think you can use the same instructions given for moto g 1st generation and use the moto g 2nd genetation retail AWS firmware. I may wait until there is a consumer cellular firmware for the moto g 2nd generation available in case something goes wrong.

Thank you both. Although I have previously rooted and flashed various android phones and tablets, I think I will wait till there is a strong development community for the Moto G, which will be able to help if anything goes wrong during flashing.

I just hope that once Motorola releases the Lollipop update, Consumer Cellular won't be that far behind. Or I'll just flash it at time if Consumer Cellular are lagging behind in update.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bellj949:
I sent an email to CC to see if they will be upgrading to Lollipop and if so how soon. This is the response I received:

"At this time, Consumer Cellular does not support updates for any Android phones that we sell. Upgrading the Operating System on your phone would void the warranty."

I'm wasn't sure if they are saying they do not provide support if I upgrade the phone or if they were saying they will not be upgrading to Lollipop. So I sent another email to verify that they will not be updating the OS and pushing an OTA update to the phone. This is the response I received:

"At this time, Consumer Cellular does not support updates for any Android device that we sell."

It doesn't sounds like they have any plans to upgrade the phone.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trekker56:
That is just too bad.

Now I'll just wait till we have the official Lollipop on the Moto G and then flash the generic unlocked ROM. Keeping it stock till then in case I need to claim warranty.

And to get the official updates from Motorola, all I have to do is to flash the unlocked rom as mentioned by the guide by [MENTION=3776161]bellj949[/MENTION] and I will start getting the OTA updates automatically or will I need to flash the Lollipop rom manually?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macaumen:
CC version is 21.11.23 while the retail verions is 21.11.17. Probably that's why you cannot flash without unlocking the bootloader because the phone sees it as a "downgrade"

Unlocked Moto G 2014 is getting the update today. Is anyone with the CC rom getting the update yet? How about those with stock XT1063 rom and unlocked bootloader, do you get the update?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bellj949:
Looks like there is a Lollipop build out there for the XT1064 - http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/general/ota-moto-g-2014-x1064-v22-11-6-t2936931 - so I will be trying that tonight hopefully. Although the Nexus 10 Lollipop came out today too so not sure what I will mess with first!

Maybe I will be able to re-lock the bootloader after this. I'll try to take better notes of what all was done and report back when I have more info.

Hi, I just want to share my experience...

I bought 2 of this moto g EXT on sears. Around $300 after tax and everything, cant beat that. I have read this thread before, obviously. So I followed some guides including the one here and now I have both running 5.0 lollipop, one on net10 and the other one on simple mobile. Both working flawlessly and great signal H, about 5-7 mbps downloading (way better than sprint "4gLTE").

So this is what I did and hope it help some ones:

Remember, Do it on your own risk and unlocking the bootloader WILL void the waranty

get the unlock code from ebay so you can use this device on any network and unlock the deice network with your preference network sim card

Unlock the bootloader following Motorola instruction here

Download the 4.4.4 zip and extract it into sdk/.../platform-tools or wherever you have fastboot

I'm using ubuntu, so in terminal I ran all the commands (one by one) that [MENTION=3077906]chibichn[/MENTION] share on the 3rd page (the first one gave me an error, but it worked anyways) (thanks to chibichn)

Download lollipop from here (thanks to surenzxx) and copy it to the internal sd

reboot into recovery and apply the update

Like I said, working flawlessly.

[LG Optimus L90] helix3000:
Hi,

I have the lg optimus l90.

I used the towelroot app to root the phone. i used a terminal app to verify that i do have root. when the app opened, it displayed a $ sign but when i typed "su" and pressed enter it gave me a "#" prompt. so am i rooted?

also i was told to install the superSU app. why do i need this? can't i just uninstall the bloatware right now since i am rooted?

I installed the superSU app but it was not able to install the su binary because i did not reboot the phone after using towelroot. I uninstalled the SuperSU app. anyhow, what do I need to do now to remove those bloatware apps. there is no option to uninstall in the apps section of the android settings application.

finally, I read somewhere that i should use nobloat app to uninstall the bloatware but it is not uninstalling the bloatware. I uninstalled it.

so what do I do now?

any help would be much appreciated.

thanks.
[LG Optimus L90] goldfinv:
Superuser is needed for apps to have root rights to your phone. Install superuser. Reboot phone and open app. Reboot again if needed. Rooting is useless without superuser installed
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Along with root and SuperSU, you will also need a root App manager or root file manager. I personally prefer to use ES File Explorer as it is both an application manager ( user and system ) as well as an awesome file manager.

There is no list of acceptable system apps to remove. So be very careful as to what you uninstall or you may endup with a soft bricked phone or one that spazzes out whenever it feels like it. I would recommend making backups of any app you want to remove before uninstalling it. At least you might be able to restore them if something goes wrong.
[LG Optimus L90] helix3000:
thank you both for the replies.

so what exactly is SuperSU for? when I opened it up I saw nothing in the apps list and I did not see anything else in the other lists within the app. also, I did not restart the phone before trying to update the su files and when I did restart the phone nothing updated. So, do I use something like ES file explorer to remove bloatware?

by the way, when I tried to surf the web after installing superSU app, the web browser was extremely slow. the webpages loaded very slowly but when after I uninstalled the superSU app, it was loading the pages fast again as normal. what's up with that?

thanks.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
SuperSU is a binary executable that grants or denies superuser requests. Without it root is worthless.

You won't see anything in SuperSU permission list until an app asks for superuser permissions. When first opening the SuperSU app you should get prompted to update/install the su binary. Allow that action to happen.

That's because the su binary was never updated.
[LG Optimus L90] helix3000:
so in order to run something like the nobloat app I need to grant it permission to be a superuser? I never had to do anything like that when I ran the nobloat app and It actually worked. It still does not make sense to me what supersu is used for. :confused:

I ran the towelroot app and it was successful. However, I did not reboot the phone before attempting to update the su binary and the superSU app said i should restart before updating. I restarted the phone but it never updated the su binary when I ran the superSU app again. What do I do now?

thanks.
