Made this for myself, and noticed other people wanting it. If you are in anyway unsure of what your doing, please don't flash Odin packages. I'm not on here all that often to answer questions, so please refer to aaricchavez's thread as I'm sure the same questions will be asked.

I was able to flash by pulling the battery, then vol-dwn + home + pwr. Choose vol-up for downloader and flash. Worked on the second try. See screenshots bellow.

What you do to your phones on you, consider this: Warning flashing Bootloader/Modem/ FULL FIRMWARE LOLLIPOP

I have tried numerous times to install bootloader but it stays on dob1. I got the modem just fine. Don't understand why
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] srdryl:
I've tried updating my bootloader& modem as well as the firmware in Odin 3.09 & 3.10 & all it keeps doing is failing can someone PLZ help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuruBuilt:
The only way I've been able to flash the last few modems and bootloaders is by pulling the battery, and even then It may take a few times. DOB1 took me 4 or 5 times.

And if your wondering, the modems a huge improvement. At least for me anyways. I'm up in the hills of the SF east bay and got very spotty LTE before, no longer an issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] zounduser:
Could I use flashfire to flash the boot and modem?

Edit, I know it's possible to flash full firmwares but not sure about boot and modem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
Bootloader no modem yea
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] lunerceli:
Tried using flashfire to install the modem but its not working. Still on ob1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] EXV:
Can I flash just the modem if I'm already rooted using a CM12 ROM (Temasek unofficial)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Szarko:
Does flashing a full stock ROM immediately update the bootloader and modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuruBuilt:
Yup. On rare occasion partitions respond in strange ways to odin flashing, ie. partitions other than what you're flashing become unwriteable. But for the most part that's a rarity.

Depends on your existing version, and the version your upgrading to, but with rare exception yes.

Is this the newest BL and modem for our phones?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuruBuilt:
As of 10/10/15 FOG6 is, I just uploaded.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] PhrostB:
thanks for this. just realized today there was an update.. only a one letter difference, took a while to realize it!

can someone upload the new one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ctbale:
Just wanted to add this. Was having a hard time flashing BL and CP

1. removed the sd card (tmobile thing I read somewhere)

2. took off the md5 off the file name so it was just a .tar file

3. put both files in to oden 3.11 and on the first flash had auto reboot NOT checked, then pulled the USB cable and pulled Battery.

4. then booted to download mode with cable in and and battery in and reflashed with auto reboot checked.

I installed omega rom v20 and I had a bootloop because I didnt have a 6.x.x bootloader and modem.

I came from 4.x.x and I almost just installed a stock 6.x.x to get the updated BL and CP, then root that.

I have had good luck with omega, but I use TB to clean out all the Samsung stuff. I purchased the App for $7, worth every penny.

Hi there,

I think you must flash again your stock firmware and do a full wipe. Also please read carefully this thread:

How to find it?
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] guest_2011:
I buy cheap ebay cases. Works for me. Not buying a slim case this time. There's one i like but the seller only posted photos for older G and other brands, not g3. Waiting for more sellers to post. These cases are cheap on alibaba ~$0.70/each minimum order 100 pieces )))) so i won't be getting a good deal on a case. Ordered cheap screen protectors like i always do for all my devices. They work the best and make the screen usable when i wear polarized sunglasses. The screen is weird with all the lines and dots reflecting in sunlight. Hope a protector will block the glare and digitizer reflection.

update: not buying a cheap case this time. One POS case looks good in picture, turned out to be crap. I'm spending a little more money this time.

I suggest you to use otterbox or transparent cover for Moto G! Transparent cover is one of the best cover more than castle cover printed cover.

Hi!

While i wait for the orzly flexicase to arrive I got this case, please note this is not a back cover but a black TPU case in matt finish looks cool feels absolutely fantastic and price is dont ask
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] sonali22chauhan:
It depends on people that what they like to use with their phone but as I have seen so most of peoples use printed case.

[Moto G 2015 Accessories] samir_a:
Just got myself couple of cases for orzly the first one is a flexislim case in smoke black color.

The fitting is perfect the material is also good its not paper thin which is good as will basic protection in case of drops which is a good thing

Also the cuts for all the ports and buttons are perfect, they phone snugs in easily without much effort and the case hugs the phone perfectly not lose from any ends
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] samir_a:
Hi!

Please find the review of invisi case from Orzly, to be honest I never was a fan of invisicase, however i am quite impressed with the one from Orzly it offers basic protection agains bumps and scratches and keeps the original looks of my phone intact. The quality of plastic is good and is almost 100% clear.

Though my fear is about how prone it will be to scratches and once that happens how will it impact the looks of the phone something I shall know as I use it

Please note unlike TPU transparent cases which will turn yellow after few days or months of use this one wont but the draw of this case is its almost certain to break if the phone drops as its hard plastic

Heartly Flip Kick Stand Spider Hard Dual Rugged Armor Hybrid Bumper Back Case Cover For Motorola Moto G G3 3rd Generation - Power Blue

[Moto G 2015 Accessories] samir_a:
Hi!

You should definately go for glass guards as normal pet scratch guard wont offer you the feel of the glass nor the protection a glass guard can offer.

There are many varieties for glass screen guard available however if budget is not an issue you can look at branded ones like Orzly, Nilkin or Casebase there are premium however are far superior in quality

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

These are bumper case I perosnally dont like them but if you like them go ahead these are generic imported from China so most of them would be the same quality irrespective of the price
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] nbell13:

My combo. Going safe.

Tempered Glass - Flipkart

(Way better than normal screen guards, also very very easy to apply, 0 bubbles on first try)

Shock Proof Case - Flipkart

(Very sturdy and classy finishing, very bulky too, almost as heavy as the phone. Easily fits in jeans pockets though)

Also, a request, please don't post without links. That orzly cover looks great but has no link.

I preordered a Poetic Affinity from Amazon. I used motomaker, and it seems like every other case covers the whole back, except rinke fusion, and a few totally clear cases. This one's exactly what I was looking for!! Luckily, my phone isn't supposed to arrive until the day after the case ships, so I shouldn't be without it for long.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013A1IUVG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

** preorders are sold out now, and new orders arrive in October.
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] vj_dustin:
UPDATE : Bought this + phone on 5th Sep, and it hasn't even been a week and today my phone fell face first on the road from more than 5 feet. Not even a single scratch on the phone or it's tempered glass. +1 to this bulky case paying off! :good:
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] acejavelin:
I am using a Tudia Lucion in Blue and a Techmatte amFilm Tempered Glass screen protector, both together from Amazon was just under $18, been pretty happy with it so far... The case kind of reminds me of my old Ringke Fusion on my Nexus 4, which is a good thing.

EDIT: Update after having this case for 10 days or so... I would not recommend this case, the case does not fit correctly around the buttons and when pressing the power button it requires more effort then should be needed, enough force that the edge of the case pushes the screen protector edge and lifts it off the screen, and you can notice a definite gap if you press in between power and volume. It just seems like the case should be snugger on the button side. I will likely be replacing the case with a Poetic Affinity or Ringke Fusion soon.
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] hp420:
They sell the ringke fusion for moto g on amazon, but it's not as nice. That case is the entire reason I bought tge Poetic Affinity, though, because it's the most similar to the ringke fusion nexus 4 case available.
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] acejavelin:
Nice find... I might give it a shot later, I am kind of a case monger (I had over 10 for my Nexus 4)

Link in case anyone is interested: http://www.amazon.com/Generation-Affinity-Protection-Material-Protective/dp/B013A1IUVG
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] hp420:
Poetic really makes some beautiful cases, so I'm really excited to get this one. I'll post a review after it comes so people can have time to decide whether to preorder it before they start shipping again in October.

The biggest thing I wanted in a case is either absolutely no back or completely clear, but I also wanted one with side and front proection and a way to keep a clear back from scratching. I bought a motomaker phone because I wanted a diferent color scheme.... why are all the case manufacturers trying to cover that up?!?! This one checks all the boxes.
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] nandakis4:
hi .. does this have Oleophobic coating on it ?? :confused:
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] vj_dustin:
Yes but the coating is not of high quality. Fingerprints are still visible somewhat. The water though does bead up instead of smearing.
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] Faznx92:
I like cover cases. I got this one. It's alright for the price. The inner plastic back case is glued to the inner leather (fake of course). I cut the plastic from around the side buttons (they were hard to press before the cut). I hold some cash and cards in it. It's not that bad of a case but it makes me wish there were slimmer and higher quality cases.

Great for the price as long as the glue holds. 5/10 for quality 7/10 for value.

Side note: the pictures look blue but the case is black.
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] tvtt:
I use this tpu case from ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/32183037357...49&var=510765345685&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

and this tempered glass screen protector: http://www.amazon.com/Supershieldz®...=moto+g+3rd+generation+glass+screen+protector

They both show fingerprints, but the case does give the phone a better grip and it feels great when I hold it.

[Moto G 2015 Accessories] n2d551:
Wow! same case and color I got also
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] acejavelin:
I'm actually regretting getting this case and will probably swap it for a Poetic one soon... It doesn't fit that great around the buttons, sometimes it lifts my tempered glass screen protector up when pressing power and it takes a bit more force than it should to press the buttons.
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] hp420:
Poetic was supposed to ship today, but didn't for some reason. I've contacted Amazon and they sent a message to bump shipping to overnight and please expedite getting it out. Should be here soon, I hope. I'm running raw-dog until then.
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] acejavelin:
I thought those were shipped direct from Poetic not by Amazon, Poetic only offers standard (USPS) shipping, even via Amazon.
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] hp420:
They are from Poetic directly, but when I checked out they did offer overnight.

However, that's neither here nor there. I've cancelled my order, and I will NEVER order anything from Poetic again. Here's why:

I placed my preorder for the Poetic case Sept 6. When I ordered my shipping estimate was Sept 15. The following day I noticed the listing had been updated to state shipping would be Oct 15...but my shipping estimate never was updated, and still, right at this very moment, says it will ship Sept 15 still. Well, yesterday it hadn't shipped, so I contacted Amazon, as I stated above....here's the email I got from Poetic, followed by my response. Also attached is a screenshot showing my order was never updated. They never contacted me or anything. They just let me think my order was on time until I noticed it hadn't shipped, even though they knew well over a week ago ( the day after I ordered) they had shipping delays. Now I'm without a case to protect my phone for that much longer because of this. Let's see how their integrity holds up and if they make this right.

I'll tell you one thing: I will NEVER recommend Poetic to anyone....ever. And when people ask why, I will refer to this disgusting display of how they do business.
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] acejavelin:
Wow... To be honest I don't think Poetic is the one being unreasonable here, but you are entitled to your own opinion, and that's all I'm going to say about that.

I will still probably get a Poetic Affinity case, just wait until they're in stock and I'll try something else in the mean time... Maybe a Ringke Fusion or something similar. I am kind of a case hound, I'll probably have 6-10 by the end of the year.

[Moto G 2015 Accessories] rouyal:
In your post, I think you made yourself look bad, not the company.
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] hp420:
How does this look bad for me??? They promised me an item on a certain date, charged me immediately, as soon as I checked out, IMMEDIATELY issued a delay for 'all future orders', left me out in the dark about my own order status, let the shipping date pass, then waited for me to contact them to ask why my item hadn't shipped when they knew full-well their item wasn't ready RIGHT AFTER THEY TOOK MY MONEY!! They had NO INTENSION of ever letting me know there would be shipping delays for my order. I had to ask them wtf was happening.

I understand it may look like I flew off the handle unprovoked, but when you buy a phone on backorder and a case on preorder at the same time and the phone ships, while the case which is supposed to help protect it from being a pile of silocon and plastic rubble is NOWHERE NEAR shipping....yeah....that's a major issue. I bought this when I did because I wanted protection on my phone ASAP, not some excuse as to why they can't honor their guarantee....and leave my phone exposed an extended period of time due to their neglegence in contacting me within 24 hours of ordering, when they knew in that period my order would not be met. Cases do more than just make your phone pretty. They have a function, and due to Poetic's negligence in contacting me immediately in order to ensure my phone would have the needed protection as soon as humanly possible, they let my phone sit exposed, susceptible to damage at any moment for as long as it took them to get off their lazy asses and write me, which never even hapened until I asked for an update.

They knew immediately, yet still took my money. I should have been contacted as soon as they knew, and been informed of my options then. This didn't happen. This is the issue here. It took me waiting for the ship date to pass and wondering why I paid for something I wasn't getting for them to own up to their screw up.

I'll have had my phone a full 2 weeks before my replacement order arrives, now. If they told me as soon as they knew the case would have gotten here before the phone and this would have never been an issue.
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] aion11:
I might have got that one if I saw it before I ordered the Tudia Ultra Slim. I think I'm going to get the official Moto flip case anyway and just wanted something cheap to protect the phone in the meantime.

[Moto G 2015 Accessories] acejavelin:
Hope that one works out better than my Tudia, the case does not fit right around the buttons and has a noticeable "slip" over the edge that lifts my tempered glass screen protector up at times and pressing the buttons requires a fair amount of effort at times, I would not recommend this case any longer.

I really need to go back and edit the original post I did on this case... :/
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] aion11:
It seems to fit fine around the buttons, they do however take a bit of force to push which I don't mind. I think the material is easing up the more I use them. I don't use screen protectors but I think I see how the design may be a problem with tempered glass.
