[Moto G General] nupi:
Mine flashes cleanly (used German XT1032 4.4.4 firmware) but it gets stuck at the warning bootloader unlocked logo. Did anyone already manage to fix that?

Edit progress: charging it for a while seems to have done something (bizarre, I know). I can now boot 4.4.4 but I still lack Modem drivers which is very strange because I did flash an XT1032 firmware and I also get the horizontal scan line type thing moving down from the top approx once per second...

I hate to have a softbrick for my primary phone, I really do. If I can't resolve this quickly, I will just go out and get a Z3 compact I think.
[Moto G General] tri_vis:

Thanks a ton to azzyxi

This method worked like a charm on my moto G XT1033 (Dual Sim Indian/Asian)

I am sure there will be lot many people like me who after getting OTA upgrade to Lollipop (5.0.2) are longing to go back to kitkat 4.4.4. The phone becomes real slow with Lollipop. Seems its high time that moto redesigns its Soak test program.

I request azzyxi to add few more steps and notes in the downgrade steps, like

1. The device needs to be unlocked before you do this. I followed Follow the steps on motorola website and got the unlock key on email

Now my question to forum (if somebody can answer) is how do i re lock the device. I want to avoid that red warning message that i am getting while powering on the phone. I see some methods available but wanted some developer to confirm if below steps will work ? since we have downgraded only android version but our bootloader is still newer so what will be the impact if I flash stock using below method.

So, steps are these:

1: fastboot oem lock begin

2: flash stock firmware

3: fastboot oem lock

Unsuccessful when trying to downgrade to KitKat on Moto G

Hi buddy,

The following steps were followed by me on my Moto G XT1033 and after everything is RUN, the phone boots with the Lollipop version only. I am quite frustrated as this Lollipop is a huge disaster as far as my personal take on it is concerned.

SECOND PARTY - Returning from 5.0.X to 4.4.4 Motorola Asia Retail [ Dual Sim Fully Working ]

1 - Download this (Motorola 4.4.4 - ...... and extract.

2 - Reboot your phone in bootloader mode. Then plug your phone.

3 - Run 5.0to4.4.4.bat

4 - Boot phone. At this point, your phone will be running stock 4.4.4 motorola again dual sim asia retail.

Can you help me restore to Kitkat please? Where could I be going wrong.

Thanks, Gopi

SO I have this Moto G XT 1033 Dual Sim phone which is untouched and on 5.0.2

I want to shift this to Kitkat 4.4.4

I will have to unlock the bootloader first? From the official Motorola site?

And then I will Run 5.0to4.4.4.bat file after connecting the phone?

K I tried all this worked perfect for me.. I am on Kitkat finally :) without any issues.. But guys whats the solution to the flicker problem? I did some research though it goes away when you just lock the device and unlock it again (pressing the power button I mean) Is there any permanent solution to this?

Not working for me! Phone goes back to lollipop after deleting data.

I have an Indian Moto G 1st Gen. I have installed ADB drivers on my Windows PC. I tried your method. But it goes back to Lollipop. It gives an error during the installation saying 'Invalid PIV signed system image'. What does this mean? Do I have to do anything at all before using your method? I have enabled USB debugging.

Do I have to fastboot oem unlock my phone? Or do anything at all?

Please tell me if I have to do anything extra and also explain how I have to do it.

Please help!

Hi Guys,

since xposed doesn't support lollipop i wasn't able to change the menu button into a multitasking button any more but following this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2646304&nocache=1

I found a method that is applyable :D

In short:

you need a root file manager​

system​

usr​

keylayout​

Generic.kl​

key 139​

change "MENU" to "APP_SWTICH"​

save the file and reboot​

Worked for me, by long pressing the menu button you can also use it in its original function ;)

BUG REPORTS

This is the format for a bug report: “XXXXX isn’t working. Here is how to fix it: [INCLUDE SOLUTION]” Don’t have source? Too bad.

You’ll have to wait then.

If you report bugs, please don’t be disappointed if we can’t fix them immediately (or even never). It’s not because we don’t care, but because we don’t have time or don’t know how to fix it.

Please attach logcat and dmesg dump in your bug report. Dmesg should contain messages from both - bootup and issue occuring (you can't dump it 1 hour after bootup, rather 2 minutes after)

How to dump logs - Google for "android logcat dmesg" Or... whatever, here's one of 3204109 methods available.

1- Battery save mode won't activate stupid me usb was connected

2- (screen pinning) , you can't unpin it , task manger and back keys won't work together , i'm not sure ..... you must reboot the device

3-when you install apps from sd card , installation keep showing that it is on progress , but when you turn screen to landscape mode , it shows that the apps is installed
