Please help me.. Thanks in advance...

Wouldn't recommend you try it on a locked bootloader.
Those that are unlocked shouldn't have any issues.

Technically, with a locked bootloader, if Fastboot will allow you to downgrade, then it should be possible.
You'd have to boot into Fastboot, then run the command:
fastboot flash system system.img
Where system.img is the 4.1.2 image file extracted from the fxz file. If it won't let you do this, then downgrade isn't possible. It will likely say failed flash and you'll have to flash something to kick the phone out of fastboot like logo.img.
You could also try RSDLite and try to flash the 4.1.2 fxz, but I doubt that will work because bootloader and such are not downgradeable and it will likely fail.

You can get them here:

You can extract the original system.img from the archive as well as logo.img in case the phone doesn't allow you to flash system.img, you can use logo.img to kick the phone out of Fastboot. You will need to install Motorola ADB drivers on your computer in advance, and also need a fastboot.exe file which I think you can find via Google, but if you have ever rooted your phone in the past, usually that also came with fastboot.
Anyway, get into fastboot mode by turning off the phone, then holding down all 3 buttons. Use vol- to select Fastboot and vol+ to choose it. Phone should boot into fastboot.
Connect to PC and issue command:
fastboot flash system system.img
If it works, the phone should be downgraded. If it says flash failed, then downgrade isn't possible. In that case, if the phone is stuck in fastboot mode and can't be rebooted, issue this command to get out of fastboot.
fastboot flash logo logo.img
That should let it reboot as normal.
I actually doubt it's possible to downgrade, but I haven't tried it myself so I can't say for sure.

Thank u so much my friend, I need to clear that I m using this phone in India with Reliance CDMA network. If downgrade will succeed then will it in verizon locked condition or it will remain unlocked for global use? Also I need to add that I have never unlocked my bootloader or rooted my phone.

I think it would stay unlocked since you wouldn't be reflashing the radio.
It is easy enough to re-unlock if that should get reversed, however.

Ah, nevermind. Don't bother to try it. Even if you could succeed, you'd end up with black screen after the logo. The newer bootloaders will not allow Jellybean to boot. There is no way to downgrade. KitKat is a one way road with a locked BL. Sorry!

Sorry for the bad news. I'm in the same boat now too. Thought I would experiment with ways to preserve root, and long story short, now I'm stuck on an unrooted phone on stock KK with locked BL.
Why do you want to downgrade? If it's to be rooted, sorry, no solution for that. If there is some other issue, maybe there is a solution for that specific issue.

The issue is my CDMA data is not working after upgrade to kitkat. I m from India and using Reliance CDMA sim. Before update, everything was working perfect. But now only data(EVDO or 1x) is not working. GSM data(3G & 2G) is working.
Please help if u have any solution for this issue.

Sorry, with locked BL, you can't flash modified system.img or older system.img. I tried it just to make sure, and the phone wouldn't allow it.

Good news is that major developments happened a month ago. :good:
You can now root AND unlock bootloader on KitKat. I think you can find the info you need in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783806
Once you have bootloader unlocked, you can downgrade back to JB. I have tried it and can confirm it works.
Good luck!

You just run it and let it do its thing. Your phone should be rooted once it has rebooted. You can verify with any rootchecker app.
Then install and run Motopocalypse.apk to unlock your bootloader.
You can the use RSDLite to flash back to JellyBean using the JB fxz file. You will need to edit the xml file in the fxz file, removing the lines with gpt.bin and tz.mbn.

[Guide] [Unbrick] Moto G XT1033 on Android 5.0 Lollipop [Brazilian Update]

First of all don't panic. :laugh: There is a solution for your soft bricked moto
NOTE- This method is used for soft bricked moto g.
Soft Brick- When your device is in a bootloop and it can boot into bootloader or fastboot.
Hard Brick- When your device is complete gone and it doesn't even boots.
Now flash the Brazilian Kitkat 4.4.4 using this way :-
NOTE- Dont flash or restore your previous backup of 4.4.2! It will brick your device!
Brazilian kitkat 4.4.4 link- http://www.mediafire.com/download/5...4_KXB21.14-L1.40_38_cid12_CFC_1FF_SVC.xml.zip
Download mfastboot - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4PT9WP-u_z9NXRBWF9EV2lGcWs/edit
Extract mfastboot and the brazilian 4.4.4 in the same folder and open command prompt in that folder. ( press ctrl+shift+right click- open command line here)
Connect your moto g to pc in fastboot mode.
In the command prompt flash 4.4.4 using the following commands :-
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
Remember- Flash using the following commands only as they have skipped bootloader and partition table file of kitkat or you would HARD-BRICK your device.
Now let it boot. The screen would be flickering after the boot. Dont panic . Now after the boot has finished. Transfer moto g brazilian update to your phone and reboot into recovery. Place in on the root of your sdcard.
Link - http://www.mediafire.com/download/w...sion.210.12.40.falcon_umtsds.Brasil.en.BR.zip
Now reboot into recovery and apply update from sdcard. Wait for 10-15 mins.
Congratulations! You have unbricked your moto g!! :highfive: :laugh:

XT1033 still bricked
Hi
I've got a rooted and unlocked XT1033 (brazilian retail), and after tryed lollipop for a few days (5.0) I decided to get back to 4.4.4 using XT1033_RETAIL-BR-DS_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40-1_1_cid12_CFC_1FF.xml. The first problem was in gpt.bin, it shows FAILED, saying couldn't access DATA, and the same thing happens with motoboot.bin. Everthing gone ok until I tryed to boot the phone, it got stucked in "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" message.
I've tried everthig again, I change the gpt.bin with the one from lollipop (Blur_Version.210.12.40.falcon_umtsds.Brasil.en.BR) and it works, but motoboot still gives the FAILED message and the xt1033 doesn't work. I've tried adb push/fastboot misc, cwm and philz touch and, with this one, I noticed that the sdcard doesn't mount (perhaps the reason why the "data error" had appeared the first time.
I've tried everthing I know, except from a fresh lollipop ROM (not update) simply because I couldn't find one.

First of all you can't downgrade at this stage from lollipop to kitkat. As lollipop has changed and upgraded partition table and bootloader. That is why it is said when downgrading flash everything except gpt.bin and motoboot.bin ( i don't remember exactly the names of these two ). Now what is your current android version? If you can access bootloader try downgrading using this method and than try again to upgrade.

Flash asian kitkat 4.4.4 using my guide than flash brazilian kitkat 4.4.4 and than update. You have interrupted both firmwares of brazil. Asian ones have different system files. So they would revert you back to original and than when you would install brazil it would fix the error. Try it. And remember do all the flashing by my method in the guide because your bootloader is still of lollipop.

My moto g dual sim (asia version) was on 5.0.1 Brazilian version(OTA). I downgraded to Brazilian kitkat 4.4.4 rom without flashing gpt.bin and motoboot.img. Since then it is stuck on WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED screen and its behaving same as yours. TWPR and CWM are unable to mount the /data and /system.
Did you solve your problem .please reply...

Can I use this guide to revert to 4.4.4 Brazilian from 5.0 Brazilian? And then go to 4.4.4 Asian? Im on Brazilian 5.0 lolipop and wish to go back to 4.4.4 Asian.

how to check if my bootloader is updated or not , and can i use your method for flashing stock firmware again.
I can boot into recovery and bootloader mode , in recovery it shows kitkat recovery
XT1033

My XT1033 Dual Sim Brazilian was in 4.4.4.
I updated to 5.0.2 via OTA official by the device itself.
But I found the slower Lollipop and would like to downgrade.
I never did bootloader unlock.
This method serves for the Moto G XT1033 Dual Sim Brazil Retail?

Yes,u can use this method to downgrade - just where i download the asia firmware,u have to download this brazilian firmware -BR | http://www.filefactory.com/file/7koj5z8zk1mf/XT1033_RETAIL-BR-DS_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_38_cid12_CFC_1FF_SVC.xml.zip

It is recommended to unlock the bootloader first.

Could you explain me better this:
"Remember- Flash using the following commands only as they have skipped bootloader and partition table file of kitkat or you would HARD-BRICK your device."
Thanks for attention

the command we used has two skipped commands,these code r published on many pages but they don't skip those files and phone gets bricked due to that,so its a warning that don't copy from there.

so if i use ur method and downgrade my system to kitkat from lollipop without using that two commands
then after downgrading can i flash kitkat again but this time using that bootloader and partition command ??
bcos now my system is running on kitkat........so will my phone brick
or will i have to use a diffrent method to downgrade the bootloader too.....

U can just simply install lollipop as usual..... Refer to this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp5JqW5SVWQ

This method is tested by me yesterday and is 100% working. Only one problem -now when I have bootloader unlocked and kitkat 4.4.4 , every restart of phone I have thease stripes going from up to down on the screen and causing defect of the picture. If I turn off and on the display- everything is ok. Anyone knows something about this bug? Thanks . Sory for my English

Its is common bug,i m also having this.....there is no fix for this yet.but there is no need to worry as this doesnt cause any problems with the device!!

4. what happens to the warranty that is given by motorola?

1. All data is lost. Make a backup.
4. This method requires an unlocked boot-loader, which voids your warranty.
I'm not sure about the rest of the questions.(I believe you should be able to get updates/upgrade to the latest version of android)

thank you man, I raised my moto G :fingers-crossed:

I tried to downgrade from 5.0.2 but I gave also the two additional commands, therefore I bricked the device.
Tried to flash the 4.4.4 firmware and clearly it doesn't work.
Tried to flash again the 5.0.2 (BR version), but no luck. The phone remains in the unlocked bootloader screen.
I can throw away the phone? :crying:

Use Windows 7. Rsdlite doesn't work on Windows 10 if I'm not mistaken, probably also on 8/Vista.
Sent from my XT1562 using XDA-Developers mobile app

wont work
I downloaded wine/wineloader on my mac because i have no windows and then i downloaded and used rsdlite for windows 7 but it still wouldnt read

Rsdlite was also unable to detect my Moto X Play. I tried Rsdlite on two laptops both running Window 7 as well as tried different data cables but to no avail.

Was the phone in fastboot mode when you connect it to rsdlite?
Sent from my XT1562 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Yes, mine was in fastboot. And I tried various advice from various forums but no success

its stuck on the bootloader screen, i tried it on windows 7 computers and windows 8, my phone wont be detected by any computer, its called "lux" and somethings wrong with the driver, i uninstalled it, installed it again (motorola device manager), in driver settings i uninstalled it, downloaded the latest update for the driver) and my phone would still not be recognized by rsdlite or the computer in general BUT when i tried using the verizon software repair software on my mac, it was read as razr 2 but it would get stuck at 6%

What ROM were you on when you tried Kingroot? It worked perfectly for me after I returned my Xt1564 to stock, then ran Kingroot, I trashed the root app that it installed and replaced with SuperSu Pro. Has been working like a charm for weeks.

Don't worry too much. Rsdlite works perfectly. It might show unknown device but it works

Can't get RSD Lite to detect my Moto X (pure)

My brother gave me a rooted phone, so to unroot it I got a .bat off of a site to flash the stock firmware, but now the wifi doesn't work on it, so I think the firmware I used had the wrong radio firmware. I ended up getting the flashfile off of the motorola dev site and made sure it was the right one. I then got RSD Lite and it's not detecting my phone when I plug it in. I made sure I got adb and fastboot, I installed the motorola usb drivers, I put my phone into Fastboot flash mode, I have my phone in debugging mode, I've tried different USB Cables, different USB ports, I've ran it in administator and I still can't get it to detect my phone. Does anybody know a fix for this, or a different way I could flash my xml file onto my phone?
When I downloaded RSD, there was another link for the drivers. When I downloaded it, it had 5 different files (pic attached). This may or may not be the issue, but I couldn't figure out what to do with these files.
Thanks!

Simplier is harder sometimes - i've never used .bat or rsd - only fastboot, keyboard and fingers.
Thera are two good tutorials fot it.
Wifi - sometimes it is needed to repeat few commands: from modem... to... bt,
Drivers - Motorola Device Managers installs all,
Unroot - "unroot & restore boot" iwith supersu/magisk manager app.
You flashed something - there isn't flashable Nougat for all models - give us more info - xt15??, DSim/SSim, last android ver....

Sorry for the late reply. The hardware SKU is XT1575 and the android version is 5.1.1
I just barely followed this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njXQYn53SPc, and I still wasn't able to get it to work.
I also got my firmware off of this site https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=44735, to my knowledge, I flashed it with the correct firmware. I downloaded and flashed from this download - CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Also I'm a noob when it comes to phones, so I'm not sure what DSim/SSim means.
Thank you!

Sorry, I can't tell anything about RSD.

I've just given up on RSD Lite, because what happens is it is supposed to detect my phone when I plug it in it doesn't. I have a new problem, though. I followed this guide - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-return-to-stock-relock-bootloader-t3489110.
He said that it would be safe to flash a new version (I've been flashing 5.1.1, and I tried flashing 6.0 this time). Now my phone is stuck on the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen.

Wait, maybe will boot...?
Why do you quote me if you aren't doing what I suggest?
Ask in thread you linked.

All right, I finally fixed both issues. I just flashed 7.0 on there and it unbricked it and I guess fixed the radio firmware.
Thanks for help leading me in the right direction and sorry if I was a pain in the rear to help.
