so pls help me!how can i upgrade the bootloader
[G 2014 General] doveman:
For my UK Dual SIM XT1068, is it safe to use the XT1068 files from Mega or do I need to use XT1068_TITAN_RETAILDSDS_5.0.2_LXB22.99-16.3_cid7_CFC.xml.zip from FileFactory?
[G 2014 General] gregor160300:
I guess it will work with these files, but just to be on the safe side don't use them, visit this other thread: http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/development/original-motorola-firmware-collection-t3153533 also mine it is a manual mirror of the filefactory, I would recommend you to take the xt1068 files there and pick retailbr or something, the 5.0.2 version would be the best
[G 2014 General] doveman:
Thanks but the only retailgb I see there for the XT1068 is for 4.4.4.

EDIT: I found this which I guess I can use? http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-5-0-2-lxb22-46-t3019612

EDIT2: OK that works. I'll try Minimal OS again now.

EDIT3: Now I can't install TWRP, or at least I can with fastboot flash recovery but afterwards it still boots to stock Recovery!

EDIT4: EDIT: Weird. I tried CWM_Touch_Titan_v2.img instead and that boots the first time I select Recovery but after that it boots to stock Recovery again. Anyway, I got it booted and flashed Minimal OS, which is booting properly now :)

if i update my bootloader, will bootloader status gets back 0 or will it remain the same. i mean my bootloader status is showing 2..
[G 2014 General] gregor160300:
It will remain the same, there is currently no way of getting back to 0
[G 2014 General] shprakash:
is there any problem if i give the device to service center for service..

i m getting problem wen i flash new rom or stock rom it shows warning msg that your device bootloader has been unlocked even after the device is been locked....

is there any solution?
[G 2014 General] gregor160300:
You can always try service center first, and are you sure your bootloader is locked?
[G 2014 General] shprakash:
Yes bootloader is locked. But if I flash stock rom I'll be getting warning logo 1st.
[G 2014 General] gregor160300:
That is weird, the warning should be gone after locking the bootloader, I don't think I can help you

In new marshmallow stock update bootloader is updated to 48.86

Can you provide new updated bootloader files?

I updated to M(soak) from stock L

I checked my bootloader version is 48.86

Is it possible to get a new bootloader on this device as well? Where can I get the files?

I have bootloader 4882 for my xt1064 which was provided on this thread, I believe that's the lolllipop bl right? I read somewhere I need 4886 for Marshmallow bootloader, which I don't see in the files provided here... Either if I flash cm12.1 or cm13 it just stays stuck on the little cm logo man face and never fully finishes loading up.

I just flashed stock 5.02, my question is how do I properly install cm13? I need to fastboot the latest 4886 bootloader and then flash the rom and gapps?

Any help would be appreciated.
[G 2014 General] virenlr:
CM12, and 13 work fine, even on the lollipop bootloader. If it isn't booting, youre making a mistake somewhere else, not related to the bootloader.

Since you want to update your bootloader, here's the easiest possible way I can think of- you're on stock LP, right? Use the built in OTA updater to update to MM. You do not need to relock your boot loader to update, but just remember to flash the entire stock LP package before you update using the ota updater, so as to have the stock kernel, radio, etc. After updating to MM, reflash TWRP through fastboot, and flash CM13.

Hmm, you can boot into fastboot mode? If so reflash TWRP and then try installing CM
[G 2014 General] rowiz:
I can boot into fastboot without any problem. But If I try to flash a new TWRP nothing changes, the phone remains at TWRP 2.6.8.0.

The only way to try a new TWRP version is booting (not flashing) with fastboot boot 'sometwrp.img'
[G 2014 General] gregor160300:
Have you opened CMD with admin rights or terminal with sudo, when you try to flash it?

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-3-titan.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

but when I let the recovery start, it keeps on starting TWRP 2.8.6.0
[G 2014 General] gregor160300:
You can update TWRP from within itself, just compy the img to your phone and when you click install in TWRP you will see a button install image in the bottom right then select the .img and select recovery
[G 2014 General] rowiz:

[G 2014 General] gregor160300:

This rom is compatible for devices with bootloader 0x4882, 0x4883, 0x4886; you have bootloader version 0x4887;

Qnd the process terminates with error 7
[G 2014 General] M4rQu1Nh0S:
Ok, i will teach how to avoid bootloader version check in Rom install, i will use the CyanogenMod 13 as example:

1. Go to -> cm-13.0-20161115-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO2Y1-titan.zip\META-INF\com\google\android folder in the zip

2. Edit the updater-script file

3. See, This line checks bootloader versions:

4. So, delete this line and save the file and update the rom.zip

5. Now, install your ROM.

Before you install any ROM you need to be sure if your bootloader is the latest version
[G 2014 General] vamsi2405:
Yeah thanks for the assert removal method.. but the problem here is I've flashed like 2 marshmallow roms and 1 lp rom,

even if the rom is installed the system began to malfunction like any of these file explorers aren't working and force closing. . Ive tried ES , solid xplorer, mixplorer , cm explorer faced the same problem in every single one of these when i tried to open a certain folder, the app gets crashing.

And secondly when i tried to install other apps, the system kept crashing constantly, system ui keps crashing, Google play services crashing, i have to clean install each rom everytime.

Can anyone identify this problem? And this only happens on M and Lp, Nougat works perfectly fine on my device.

Is this because of the bootloader? Because i dint face this before not untill i started using nougat roms.

And someone in a forum page suggested to flash the stock marshmallow back on the device and the problem will be solved. Can i trust this?

Could someone please help me out with this
[G 2014 General] M4rQu1Nh0S:
So respont this asks:

1- Whats is the bootloader versions of device?

2- These bugs appear with GAPPS, without GAPPS or Both? (Try install rom without gapps to see any difference)

- Install any rom again but in the recovery do a full data format or fix the storage with recovery like TWRP

- Install Stock rom with .zip package not by flasing tool and test

- If the bug persist, use the flash tool to flash stock rom and if stock rom are Ok try install the Custom ROM again!

Post the answers and results here.

Hello again

1)My device is Moto G 2014(titan) currently running on RR 5.8.2 and bootloader says 0x4887;

2) yes im using older version of pico gapps, i too had the same doubt the problem may be due to the wrong gapps.. i will try using another variant of gapps ( and without gapps too) and will post an update. Thanks
[G 2014 General] vamsi2405:
Edit:

The problem was not anyway related to gapps, ive tried flashing only rom file again and i noticed something in the logs

>Here I've attached two screenshots which explain the situation

1) the first screenshot is when im installing RR 5.8.2 nougat rom, which is properly installed.

2) the second screenshot is of cm 12.1 lp rom which have installed but failed to work, i hope you understand what im saying

I think something is interfering the rom from completely flashing .take a look
