Xt1032?

Do you think this will work for an XT1032 converted to GPE? I have been unable to flash any sort of custom recovery as of yet like it keeps on disappearing when I reboot the device and becoming stock recovery.
[Moto G General] audit13:
Are you flashing recovery from fastboot? If you use fastboot, try flashing the recovery and using the button combo to boot into recovery from fastboot.

Do you have the 41.18 bootloader?

I have an 8 GB Telus xt1032 that I converted to GPE. While on GPE 4.4.4, I mistakenly allowed the 5.01 OTA update to install. Needless to say, it hung at the boot screen and I could do nothing.

I booted back into bootloader and noticed that my bootloader was now 41.18. I downloaded the stock Telus 4.4.4 ROM and manually flashed everything except motoboot.img (this is the bootloader image and is older than 41.18) and the phone booted without issue. I then installed TWRP and can flash pretty much any custom ROM.
[Moto G General] brainscollector:
I've heard it's possible to flash CM12 over Lollipop 5.0.2 official firmware. It was from 3 sources that peoples did it without problems
[Moto G General] andogeek10:
It is possible but not on the GPE firmware. There are differences in the /system partition size and the update script doesn't expect this and hence the flashing fails.
[Moto G General] Fuchsie:
No no I have the 41.18 bootloader as it's a full conversion.

To get around the boot screen hanging I fastboot flashed a gpt.bin. Cheers for the advice though :D
[Moto G General] zxdavb:
Finally!

It worked for me: UK Stock KK to GPE KK to GPE LP, on bootloader 41.18 and unable to flash CM12.

It didn't work exactly as you described, it only worked when I did teh following: flash stock v4.4.4 gbt.bin, reboot, flash philz, reboot to recovery, format system (unable to mount it otherwise), flash twrp, convert data from f2fs to ext4 (unable to mount it otherwise), format data, then install CM12, pagapps, and SU.

Thanks!
[Moto G General] ianxblog:
Does this downgrade the bootloader to 41.13? I'm on retail 4.4.4 with bootloader 41.18, tried flashing gpt.bin from 4.4.4 and it booted straight to bootloader with the message "fastboot reason: utag flash fail configured as fastboot", then I fixed it by flashing all the other files (except motoboot of course) However I'm still on 41.18..

I just want to get rid permanently of the ripple efect every time you reboot.
[Moto G General] audit13:
Motoboot.img is the bootloader file. Once on the 41.18 bootloader, you cannot flash an older bootloader.
[Moto G General] pfufle:
The best method imo to flash custom ROMs on the 41.18 boot-loader is:

1) Flash the official Moto 5.0.2 firmwares for your respective devices

2) Flash the OFFICIAL TWRP 2.8.5.0

3) Wipe everything except internal storage. The first wipe will fail and the phone will reboot. Reboot again into the recovery and perform the wipe again. It will work this time.

4) Flash the ROM zip now.

PS: ADB sideload works for me but not MTP.
[Moto G General] jolaca49:
bootloader 4113

What are my possibilities after flashing stock 4.4.2 over stock 4.4.4 and having actually BL 4113 (at least this is listed using DeviceInfo)? Can I flash the 4.3 over it (with or w/o motoboot), or get a brick?
[Moto G General] DustArma:
That's a sure fire way to convert your phone into a brick.
[Moto G General] jolaca49:
Btw, which ROM 4113 belongs to? - 4.4.2 or 4.4.4? I only know that stock 4.4.4 BL can not be downgraded. THAT is the 4113? On my phone (XT 1032) this appears under stock 4.4.2...
[Moto G General] hj97:
If I wanna do this, I flash the partition while on lollipop?
[Moto G General] Kierek:
I'm incapable of restoring 4.4.2 gpt.bin. I'm on GPE 5.0.1 and I use fastboot from latest android-sdk-linux on Arch Linux.

In terminal I get:

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.076s]
writing 'partition'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.368s

and on the phone there is:

version downgraded for primary_gpt

but nothing changes.
[Moto G General] dseries60:
Flashed gpt.bin from 4.4.4 and everything is working again.. I am now able to flash any 5.0 rom. Thanks for your post!
[Moto G General] chandon123:
Hi. It worked for me like this. Tried to convert from GPE 5.0.1 to 5.1 AOSP by Albert and get stucked in the partition problem. Only with gpt.bin of Stock Retail Brazil Lollipop and your steps manage to mount and install 5.1 zip with TWRP.

Thanks!
[Moto G General] KimmoVamsi:
is it ok if i use gpt.bin from 4.4.4 Gpe ?

YOU MUST BE ON BOOTLOADER VERSION ENDING IN 4.02 AND TWRP 2.7+ OR CWM 6.5.0.0+ BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM. SEE UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU ARE UNSURE

You must do a full wipe in recovery if coming from another ROM. Do not do a full wipe from the bootloader. Don't forget to do a Nandroid Backup first and give the ROM 15 mins to stabilise! The first boot will take 15 minutes!

Thanks for a cracking ROM...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hardslog:
Wanna test it out for me? :D

Looks like Omni source for both devices is pretty much the same. They share the same kernel. If you want to try it out and it doesn't work for 3g you can shoot me some logs and I can figure out how to get the RIL working. I imagine it wouldn't be much.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] drewski_1:
i'll give it a whirl this morning :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] drewski_1:
not working with LTE. what logs do you need?

1st screenshot is this ROM, 2nd is Grogg88's AOSP (http://xdaforums.com/nexus-7-2013/development-lte/rom-t3023427) where LTE is working. he's got his Git linked, if that will help?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hardslog:
I see in the omni source that there are 2 different device trees for the deb and flo. Looks like we will have to build the deb from source except there is one problem. Nobody has updated the Deb for 5.0 yet. It has not seen omni updates since June 2014 :eek:

Slightly off topic...

Just flashed zompop while watching a BBC 4 documentary about joy division (possibly my favourite band of all time, saw them many times), and during the aroma installation I saw the boot anim option for 'unknown pleasures'! Spooky or what?

Now I know this won't mean anything to most people but it will to some...

Great ROM BTW...

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Lawlrus:
More than likely because of the lack of layers or the theme engine

Omni is a beautiful thing though. Back when Jake Whatley had a g2 and was deving omni for it, I was always on omni. Its blazing fast with it being as lightweight as it is
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] quickdraw86:
Hmm... I suppose I don't use themes aside from default, so it was never an issue to me. While some of my android buddies make astounding themes, I always believed that themes in general can introduce instability, so never used them.

Omni was and is one of the very best ROM projects around, and I very much enjoy these zombi builds.

R2 is a complete homerun guys. I love the simple options of these builds compared to other ROMs, it's refreshing not having to dig through tons of submenus to get to the setting i want. The attention to detail in the aroma installer settings is great, love the tweaked kernel, and the option to integrate an ad hosts file from install. I appreciate all the work put into the themes and boot animations too. Really impressed, there are now quite a few 5.1.1 ROMs for flo, but R2 is top two all day easily, GREAT WORK guys!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hardslog:
Well at least somebody likes it :D

This rom is kinda the red-headed stepchild of Zombi-Pop as the Asus Transformer tabs get all the glory :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] quickdraw86:
Well, there's just quite a few ROMs available for flo is all. Most people tend to stick to projects they're familiar with, that they've heard of, or those that rely on buzzwords or empty promises of stability... I personally don't care to use ROMs that are built nightly without a device maintainer, and have used enough devices and ROMs to be able to appreciate work clear of unnecessary cherry picks for the sake of listing features. This is just a good fit for me, my usage, and my personal preferences. Thanks for continuing to work on this, there aren't many of us, but we appreciate it.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] guthrien:
This is probably the best running ROM I've used on my nexus. Thank you.

Does xposed run on the omni base with this kernel? There are a couple small changes I'd like to make with the UI but this is great.

No hyperbole, this is nicest I remember tablet ever responding.

---------- Post added at 02:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 AM ----------

Because I could hear the XDA voice in my head, I explored the question for myself. Yes, Xposed appears to work. Gravity Box works, with some small weirdness, which is normal I think.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] quickdraw86:
Glad you're hearing the voices, our spoons are getting worn out. Lololol. Yeah, romracer's SDK 22 xposed is still beta, and has some weirdness to it yet. I only use a few modules, two for YouTube, and one for amplify, but it's getting better. I think most of the issues with xposed have to do with the difficulty of having consistent resource hooks across so many ROMs and devices (completely understandable), but, in general, works okay.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hardslog:
Sorry I was going to say that xposed does work :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] quickdraw86:
I still haven't tried all the themes in the aroma installer, that's how many options this ROM includes... Green is next on my list though. Still running great, no issues at all, rock solid stability.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] HarmfulMushroom:
Installed rom on updated TWRP/Bootloader Nexus 7 2013, installs fine, but it's stuck constantly optimizing apps for well longer than 15 minutes. Optimization will finish, it'll reboot, optimization process starts again. Any idea what the issue could be?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lj50036:
Can you save the log at the end of installing, aroma will ask if you would like to save this log...

Also can you pull a recovery log after aroma boots you back to TWRP ....

Maybe pull a logcat of the boot would be helpful also...

Thx Josh
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] HarmfulMushroom:
So sorry for the late reply, busy day for me. Attached is a copy of both the aroma logs and logs from TWRP itself. Since the device never boots I cannot pull a logcat, sorry. Or if there is some other way to obtain that without having to successfully boot android could you link me?

Thanks for the help!

EDIT: now it's not booting at all, just going strait back to recovery.
