Hello guys, this guide is to help you to go back to Stock Firmware from any custom ROM or from Google Play edition firmware.
First, all credits go to the original owners of this guide, firs of all thanks to @Semseddin and his previous guide !!!

I started this thread because I have an Argentinian Retail Moto G, and downloaded the retail 4.4.2 firmware for Argentina, it comes in *.tar.gz format, but the guide stated above was for *.xml.zip firmware, so here it comes some differences.
DISCLAIMER: If your Moto G dies, explodes, turn into a zombie, goes berserk and tries to kill you, I'm not the one to blame. I've tested this tutorial and worked for me, if this does not work for you, keep googling about your problem. I can help you but its not my fault! Try this at your own risk.
THIS SHOULD WORK ON LOCKED AND UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS​
LETS BEGIN...
-1 - Make a backup of all the apps and media in your SD card because all of this erases and formats everything inside! So backup everything!
0 - DOWNLOAD and install Motorola drivers.
1 - Go to THIS PAGE and download a 4.4.2 firmware suitable for your device. In my case I searched and downloaded Retail Argentina 4.4.2 firmware. There aren't a lot of 4.4.4 specific firmware, so download a 4.4.2 firmware. After installing it, you can OTA to 4.4.4.
2 - On Windows, create a temporary folder in drive c:\ called "restore" so it would be like this: c:\restore ; and there using 7zip or similar, extract everithing inside the firmware file into this "retail" folder. (The firmware I needed was in *.tar.gz format but this can work if the firmware you get is in *.XML.zip format)
3 - Now, download the attachment I provide you (those three files are from 4.4.4 OTA ZIP). Extract and place them inside the "restore" folder and replace the files inside.
4 - Download "mfastboot-adb.rar" in the attachments. After that, extract everything inside the RAR in the "restore" folder.
Important: Everything has to be inside the "restore" folder, don't leave files inside extraxted folders. It has to look like this:
5 - Turn off the phone and turn it on in FASTBOOT MODE (When turned off tap and hold ON BUTTON and VOLYME DOWN BUTTON for 5 seconds and release them, you should see the FASTBOOT MENU) and plug the phone to PC via USB.
6 - Start CMD (Windows console) with Administrator rights (in Windows 7 click on Start and in the search bar write CMD and above right click on CMD and start it as Administrator) and type:
cd c:\restore
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will place the console inside the "restore" folder.
7 - Here starts the COPY-PASTE action. Don't miss ANY LINE here!!! Copy and paste this lines one by one, waiting to the flashing to finish and giving an OKAY as a result!!! If some of this commands gives a (bootloader) FAILED answer, try to repeat that command.
If you upgraded to Lollipop, you can go back to KitKat, but DONT FLASH THE COMMANDS I GIVE HERE THAT ARE IN RED COLOR. Use the RED commands only if you NEVER upgraded to Lollipop before:
mfastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
mfastboot getvar max-sparse-size
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img -- (this one gives trouble on some devices, if that is your case, click below)
If mfastboot flash system system.img gives an error, you can try this commands:
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
If yoy have a Moto G LTE version, you can use this commands: (Correct me if these are not the right ones for LTE)
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk4
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata -- THIS ERASES ALL YOUR DATA AND FORMATS SD! You should have done a backup by this point! (If this command gives a (bootloader) FAILED error, immediately run this command again, that should work.)
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
mfastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please, I say this again! Do this one line at a time, waiting for every line to flash and perform actions and to return an OKAY as an answer...
If every step on the copy-paste steps give OKAY as an answer, you will see your Moto G return to life with the original Moto firmware!!!! The first boot will take like 7 or 8 minutes, so be patient!
So this is it. If you need help let me know below... :fingers-crossed:
Everything looks good and worked for me except for 2 things:
-Flashing motoboot.img will error if you're trying to downgrade from 4.4.4 gpe or 4.4.3 moto but you can just skip it
-You need to add a .img at the end of this "mfastboot flash system system (this one gives trouble on non european models but is the one that works on american (and argentinian) Moto G!)" (not a big deal but it errors if you don't and people can get scared)

You're damn right man, correcting right now! :good:
Hey man thanks for the guide. No the question is, why flash back? GPE is much better for me! or it is because we will have problems when trying to update to Android L?
I plan to do this when 5.0 comes out. Currently I'm on CM11. However, on the official downloads page I only see 4.4.2 for my retail firmware. Would this be fine if I'm on 4.4.4?
Thanks for the guide.
there is one thing, if you upgrade to 4.4.3/4.4.4, you will not be able to downgrade yourself to 4.3.
I have tried. it just wont boot.

Yes, I was on GPe 4.4.4 firmware, then I flashed 4.4.2 Moto firmware, then OTAed to 4.4.4 Moto firmware.. So this will work..

Yes, that is true, so 4.3 is no more an option.. I wonder if this will happen in the future, I mean, maybe when 5.0 comes out, will it be impossible to downgrade to 4.4.2 firmware also?... I hope I'm wrong..

This is just in case you miss Stock firmware... If you like GPe firmware just stay there, but if you have trouble you can use this guide. Also this should work to revert from CM11 or another custom ROM. :good: But, when Lollipop arrives, there will be no problems with OTAs on GPe firmware, but Motorola gives some extra features..
I returned to stock because of some options and features Stock firmware has... (FM radio, Sounds Effects, Assist, Moto Camera, OTG options on Settings > Storage, etc...)
Hi, i bougth the Moto G in Argentina with 4.4.2 and unlocked the bootloader, updated OTA to 4.4.4 and rooted the device , if i do this procedure will i lost the CMW recovery and/or root? the bootloader will remain unlocked?
i just tried the Factory Reset option but it ends un a bootloop... is there another option to have the stock rom clean or i have to do all this?
THANKS !

If you do all of this, you will loose root and CWM... but you can root it again when you do this procedure-- and the bootloader will remain unlocked. :good:
If you download the firmware in .xml.zip format enter :
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
Instead of mfastboot flash system system.img

When I tried to flash my specific firmware, those commands didnt work, and somewhere else I read those commands you say are for some european devices. I use the system.img command and it worked every time I do it on my retail Arg moto g. That is a little difference between some devices.
Edit: sorry I forgot that the firmware I used was in tar.gz format, so that's why those commands didn't work for me.. If the firmware you download is xml.zip you have to use the other guide that is on sticky posts.
Thanks for your guide! It was very usefull.
I've been trying CM rom and the Decepticon kernel, and because of that I've reinstalled the stock rom quite a few times now.
Because of that, every time I restored the 4.4.2 rom (Retail Argentina) and then OTA to 4.4.4. It's very annoying to download that update every time and I couldn't find it online so I've made a backup of the update zip. That way I only need to enter into the recovery and flash the update.
Anyone else wants it?
I was worried about the sparsechunk.xx files as well, but flashing them worked no problem for me (I'm using the Bell 4.4.2 Canada firmware).
Got my Moto G back to Moto stock 4.4.2 from GPe 4.4.4 just fine! Thanks Marckozz <3 Can confirm this works for XT1032 in Canada (although this is probably the same model as an American one to be honest).

Try this:
*Flash ENTIRE firmware image from Brazil Retail Lollipop 5.0.2... So your bootloader will be updated to Moto bootloader... (search in this forum that firmware image and steps to flash it, and yes, flash motoboot.img and gpt.bin also, I've done that and it can be flashed on top of the old Google bootloader from GPE)
*Then, flash Retail KK 4.4.4 using this guide, but dont flash motoboot or gpt.bin from 4.4.4....
*And last, update via OTA to Retail AR Lollipop...
:fingers-crossed:
Thks, but why do i have to flash the brazilian firmware first? Flashing directly the argentinian retail 5.0.2 wont work?

there is no AR 5.0.2 firmware yet, you can either wait or do what @MarckozZ suggested
Well, there's been a lot of confusion about over in the 5.0 OTA thread about how to get onto the latest build of Lollipop.
**********UPDATE********
Sorry guys, I no longer have a Moto X and as such have to discontinue support for the downloads in this thread; I can no longer keep up with a device I don't have
If you can get the files I mention elsewhere, most of these instructions should remain applicable.
Thanks
*****************************
So how does one get onto the latest OFFICIAL build of Android 5.0 on their Moto X 2014 Pure Edition (XT1095)? Here's how (and it most likely involves a data wipe)
Have an XT1092 or XT1097? Well fear not! It's easy to convert.
Follow this guide later in the thread (thanks to@steff999 for this!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56700701
And if you have cellular problems on your 1092 or 1097, follow this post by @sbtm1337:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56778275
****If you damage anything in the process, it's no one's fault but yours (it's hard to mess this up, though )****
Step 0:
Make sure you have basic fastboot and adb knowledge; have Motorola drivers on your computer.
Enable USB debugging on your phone if you haven't yet.
Then, go to the home screen. Plug in the USB cable into your computer, and then into your phone.
If you haven't done anything like this before, it should prompt you for RSA authorization. Check always allow, and then yes.
Step 1:
Determine where you are in the process.
You can be in one of 5 places:
A: On 4.4.4 KitKat, un-tampered
B: On 4.4.4 KitKat, tampered (root, /system mods, etc.)
C: On 5.0 Lollipop LXE22.39-6 un-tampered
D: On 5.0 Lollipop LXE22.39-6 tampered
E: On ANY other version
If option A, go to step 4 (no wipe!)
If option C, go to step Q (keep your data )
If option B, D, or E, go to step 2 (gonna have to wipe...)
******Unless you're on option A or C, you NEED an unlocked bootloader!******
Step 2:
Download the stock 4.4.4 firmware.
It's on Motorola's site, but you have to request access and wait a while. I've mirrored it in .zip form for easy access:
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=227F163CB35629DA!20267&authkey=!AMWPTB3ICDtezYs&ithint=folder,
Extract the .zip on your PC. On OneDrive, open the Moto Fastboot folder and download the fastboot corresponding to your OS (Windows or Linux, no Moto Fastboot exists for Mac unfortunately).
***Take the fastboot file here and replace the one in whatever directory you have your current one***
***Move the files from the 4.4.4 Firmware to the same place you have the new fastboot.***
***There may be a file called fastboot in the 4.4.4 Firmware folder. Delete that, you only need the one from OneDrive***
Step 3:
Reboot your device to fastboot.
Enter these commands:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
Don't sign into any accounts, and skip all the setup.
Step 4:
Now, download the 4.4.4 to 5.0 OTA zip from here:
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=227F163CB35629DA!20267&authkey=!AMWPTB3ICDtezYs&ithint=folder,
Put it in the download folder of your Moto X.
Step 5:
Reboot to stock recovery. Once you see the Android and a red triangle above it, press volume up for 3 sec and then lock right afterwards. Then let go immediately.
Select "apply update from sdcard".
Navigate to your download directory, and select the update zip.
Let it flash.
Reboot.
Step 6 **IMPORTANT**:
Now you've got L! But... Not so fast.
Skip through the setup, and go to factory reset in settings (enjoying the beauty along the way).
Here's why: Android L has 256-bit encryption (up from 128-bit on KitKat), however it only takes effect if you factory reset within L.
It's ultimately up to you whether you reset or not, but coming from a clean KitKat install like most this is a great benefit for little effort.
If you've made it this far without a wipe and don't want to re-set up your phone, it will work without it, but to ensure smooth operation and for security purposes I'd highly recommend the reset (many who haven't done this reset have reported numerous FCs and other issues as well).
Step Q:
All you have to do now is download the 5.0-6 to 5.0-11 OTA from my OneDrive and flash it in stock recovery. Not much to it!
*If you have an alternate modem, you'll be ineligible for this .6-.11 OTA. It's likely that you'll have to wipe, flash 4.4.4, and redo the steps it took to get you to -6 but with the -11 OTA file.*
And...
BAM!
LOLLIPOP!
YEAHHH BUDDY
Enjoy
Hope this helps some folks! Hit the thanks button if it does!

Well, there's been a lot of confusion about over in the 5.0 OTA thread about how to get onto the latest build of Lollipop.
In case you haven't followed it all, here's the story:
On the 8th or 9th of November 2014, Motorola started a very limited soak test with L build LXE22.39-5. That OTA got leaked, and many of us tried to get back to stock 4.4.4 to take the OTA. On 11/11/14, they started another, more widespread soak test. The build in that one is LXE22.39-6. In order to get from the first soak test build to the next, a "delta" OTA was required, and it was only sent to those officially enrolled in the first wave. That was never leaked, so in order to get onto the -6 firmware, a downgrade to stock 4.4.4 was necessary.
So how does one get onto the latest (as of now) build of Android 5.0 on their Moto X 2014 Pure Edition (XT1095)? Here's how (and it most likely involves a data wipe):
****If you damage anything in the process, it's no one's fault but yours****
Step 0:
Make sure you have basic fastboot and adb knowledge; have Motorola drivers on your computer.
Step 1:
Determine where you are in the process.
You can be in one of 5 places:
A: On 4.4.4 KitKat, boot loader locked, untampered whatsoever
B: On 4.4.4 KitKat, boot loader unlocked, tampered
C: On 4.4.4 KitKat, boot loader unlocked, untampered whatsoever (not even root) (extremely unlikely)
D: On 5.0 Lollipop build LXE22.39-5 boot loader unlocked
E: On 5.0 Lollipop build LXE22.39-5 boot loader locked
If option A or C, skip to step 4 (phew, no data wipe needed )
If option B or D, go to step 2 (you're getting wiped, sorry)
If option E, unlock your bootloader through Motorola's website (yup. Wipe too) and go to step 2
Step 2:
Download the stock 4.4.4 firmware.
It's on Motorola's site, but you have to request access and wait a while. I've mirrored it in .zip form for easy access:
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?res...0263&authkey=!AM8xPNkiWBzJ3iY&ithint=file,zip
Extract the .zip, and open the folder corresponding to your OS (Windows, Linux, etc).
Take the fastboot file here and replace the one in whatever directory you have your current one.
Move the rest of the files not in the OS folders to the same place you have the new fastboot.
Reboot your device to fastboot.
Enter these commands:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
Don't sign into any accounts, and skip all the setup.
Step 4:
Now, download the OTA zip from here:
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?res...0264&authkey=!APWqFt6yzNh4mSU&ithint=file,zip
And put it in the download folder of your Moto X.
Step 5:
Reboot to stock recovery. Once you see the Android and a red triangle above it, press the volume up and lock buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds and let go.
Select "apply update from sdcard".
Navigate to your download directory, and select 5.0OTA.zip.
Let it flash.
Reboot.
Step 6 **IMPORTANT**:
Now you've got L! But... Not so fast.
Skip through the setup, and go to factory reset in settings (enjoying the beauty along the way).
Here's why: Android L has 256-bit encryption (up from 128-bit on KitKat), however it only takes effect if you factory reset within L. It's ultimately up to you whether you reset or not, but if you're coming from a clean KitKat install like most this is a great benefit for little effort.

A lot of people including myself have had troubles with the motoboot command. It comes up with a downgrade from TZ ( or something like that)
Have you had any problems?
Currently I'm on 4.4.4
I was on the first soak and tried to get back to 4.4.4 but my phone bootloops and then goes to recovery when I try to update to the newest L.
I have to flash the system from 4.4.4 And the boot to get my phone back.

No, I haven't had any problems. I've heard of some people saying that you don't have to flash motoboot (it's the boot loader) to successfully downgrade.
Have you tried flashing everything else from this firmware?
Sent from my Moto X Pure Edition using Tapatalk
I've tried to flash the system, but it tells me something about needing to use a new fastboot. Multi....+++++? Not used anymore.
I've tried to flash the gpt but it won't work either. I've done boot, fsg, modem, that is it.
System, gpt, motoboot are all a no go.
Kinda lost.
I'm at work now, so I can't do much for about 7 more hours.
Thanks for this - so this is the official 5.0 OTA? Not the Soak test?

There are no folders in the archive with stock 4.4.4 firmware and there is no fastboot.exe for Windows inside. Where I can get fasboot for Windows to flash so big system.img ?
It's in the os folders - that fastboot did not work for me however. I just used sdk fastboot.
Quick question
Sorry for a noob question, but am I correct in assuming this will function fine on a Mac using the Linux fastboot? And does it need to be placed in the same directory as the files associated with the Android SDK? Or can it be in its own folder?
Thanks for any help!

I have downloaded both archives (1st link in OP, 2nd in another tread) and both do not have any folders inside. There is "fastboot" file in the archives and looks like it is for Mac and not for Windows.
So does it means that sdk fastboot flashed sustem.img successfully ?
Thanks to @SolarTrans and everyone else, both here and on MFN, I was able to reflash back to 4.4.4, update OTA to the Lollipop soak test, and restore the logo file to get rid of the ugly bootloader unlocked warning screen
This has been a great resource, and first time doing all of this. Definitely a little confusing at first, but I figured it out. Thanks everyone.

I've tried to flash the gpt but it won't work either. I've done boot, fsg, modem, that is it.
System, gpt, motoboot are all a no go.
Kinda lost.
I'm at work now, so I can't do much for about 7 more hours.

That's because you need the motorola fastboot file in the 4.4.4 zip

Thanks for this - so this is the official 5.0 OTA? Not the Soak test?

It's the 2nd soak test, which some believe is the final OTA.
If it isn't, however, I'm registered as part of that soak test so I'll be able to post the update

Thanks to @SolarTrans and everyone else, both here and on MFN, I was able to reflash back to 4.4.4, update OTA to the Lollipop soak test, and restore the logo file to get rid of the ugly bootloader unlocked warning screen
This has been a great resource, and first time doing all of this. Definitely a little confusing at first, but I figured it out. Thanks everyone.

How did you restore the logo? Just fastboot flash the logo.bin from the factory image?
paul_jones said:
Sorry for a noob question, but am I correct in assuming this will function fine on a Mac using the Linux fastboot? And does it need to be placed in the same directory as the files associated with the Android SDK? Or can it be in its own folder?
Thanks for any help!

As I said in the guide, it needs to replace your current fastboot file in your Android SDK (it works for other manufacturers too, it just has some added functionality for Motorola so it's safe to do this).
But yeah you should be fine with the Linux one, although I don't have a Mac so I can't test it

Moto Fastboot files are back up guys! They're in my OneDrive, just follow the folders from either link up there

I actually googled around trying to replace it, and it linked me back to a thread here. Downloaded the logo.bin file and flashed it. It's the stock M logo with "powered by Android" or whatever that says

Okay, so there has been a lot of confusion an ambiguity on how to successfully install the GPE lollipop update on the Moto G. The reason I am starting this guide is because I faced a lot of trouble myself trying to get this update and get stuff working.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: EASY (NOOB FREINDLY )
WARNING:
I HAVE TESTED THIS FULL PROCEDURE MYSELF. BUT I SHALL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT OCCUR BY USING THIS PROCEDURE, THOUGH I SHALL TRY MY BEST TO SOLVE THEM IF YOU FACE ANY. DUAL SIM USERS, ONLY SINGLE SIM WORKS BECAUSE IT IS A GPE FIRMWARE AND THERE IS NO WORKAROUND FOR IT. THIS PROCEDURE DOES NOT WORK WITH XT1031 (confirmed by @goldeneagle1972 )
THIS PROCEDURE WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA ON THE PHONE. SO TAKE A BACKUP.
EXISTING GPE 5.0.1/2 USERS, FLASH THE ORIGINAL GPE MODEMS FIRST AND MAKE SURE YOUR SYSTEM ISN'T MODIFIED. (eg: rooted ). THEN DIRECTLY GO TO STEP 5.
THE REST OF YOU, FLASH THE 5.1 GPE FIRMWARE [HERE] FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS IN STEP 2.2 AND THEN GO DIRECTLY TO STEP 6
PREREQUISITES:
You will need an unlocked boot loader. If you have not already unlocked it, refer to [this]
STEP 1:
Download the 4.4.4 GPE XT1032 FIRMWARE from [here] [mirror]
Download mfastbootv2 from [here]
Download the minimal sdk from [here]
Download and install adb drivers from [here]
Download the batch files for all the commands from [here]. (OBSOLETE)
Download the batch files for flashing 5.1 firmware and fixing network from [here]
Download Motorola drivers from [here]
Reboot system after installing drivers.
Download THE 5.1 GPE FIRMWARE [HERE] FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS IN STEP 2.2 AND THEN GO DIRECTLY TO STEP 6
Extract the GPE firmware archive, batchfiles archive and mFastbootv2 archive to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder (or your folder containing the platform-tools)
Download OTA update from [here]. Rename it to "ota".
Copy this archive to the same folder mention above (do not extract this archive).
STEP 2:
Boot into fastboot (POWER+VOLUME DOWN) and connect phone to PC
If you are starting from scratch, skip 2.1 ) and go to 2.2 )
2.1 ) If you have already made a failed attempt to OTA, or have previously flashed the Brazilian OTA, then flash the GPE 4.4.4 firmware follow this step. SHIFT + RIGHT click in the folder where you have extracted everything and choose open command window here. Then double-click on "Step 2_1.bat" or type the following commands one by one.
Code:
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
You will not get network now but do not flash the modems of the firmware you use now because you will get a status 7 error when flashing the OTA. You will now be dumped at the welcome screen. Do not enter any details, just power off and boot into recovery via fastboot. Skip step 2.2)
YOU WILL GET SOME ERRORS LIKE HAB CHECK FAILED. JUST IGNORE AND PROCEED.
2.2 ) For those who haven't attempted the OTA or are not on the Brazilian Firmware, use the following method to flash the 4.4.4 GPE firmware. SHIFT + RIGHT click in the folder where you have extracted everything and choose open command window here. Then double-click on "Step 2_2.bat" or type the following commands one by one. (Thank you @jmonster141 for pointing out my silly error).
Code:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
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 system system.img_sparsechunk.3
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
You will not get network now but do not flash the modems of the firmware you use now because you will get a status 7 error when flashing the OTA. You will now be dumped at the welcome screen. Do not enter any details, just power off and boot into recovery via fastboot.
IT SEEMS THAT SOME 4.4.4 FIRMWARE HAVE NEWER PARTITION TABLES THAN GPE 4.4.4, SO THE GPT.BIN WILL FAIL TO FLASH. JUST SKIP IT AND YOU'L BE FINE (confirmed by @SickBeast ) or TAKE A LOOK AT [THIS] (thank you @t4n017 ).
AFTER ERASING USERDATA AND REBOOTING, YOUR PHONE MIGHT BOOT DIRECTLY INTO FASTBOOT AND IT WILL SAY "UTAG FLASHFAIL CONFIGURED AS FASTBOOT. JUST REFLASH THE BOOTLOADER TO FIX
Code:
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
(thank you @t4n017 again )
YOU WILL GET SOME ERRORS LIKE HAB CHECK FAILED. JUST IGNORE AND PROCEED.
STEP 3:
Now we shall flash the OTA. Boot into recovery. You shall see a weird android logo with an exclamation mark. AFTER THAT HOLD VOL+ FOR 15 SECONDS, THEN TAP POWER BUTTON (KEEP HOLDING THE VOL+ BUTTON) (thank you @thestory101) and choose apply update from adb in the recovery. Then double-click on "Step 3.bat" or type the following command:
Code:
adb sideload ota.zip
OR just OTA from Settings>About phone>System updates (confirmed by @t4n017) though i would yet recommend using the former procedure.
STEP 4:
Once it has finished, select reboot system now from the recovery. DO NOT WIPE YOUR CACHE. YOU WILL BE STUCK AT THE GOOGLE BOOT LOGO SCREEN FOR AROUND 10-20 SECONDS. JUST BE PATIENT. If you are stuck for more than 20 seconds, just flash [this].
STEP 5:
Now check your phone for and update and you shall get an update notification for 5.1 lollipop. Follow onscreen procedures and complete the update.
STEP 6:
SKIP THIS if you have EUROPEAN XT1032.
Download XT1033 modems [here] if you have the Asian Moto G. THESE MODEMS APPARENTLY DON'T WORK. LOOK AT POST NO. 593 FOR FIX.
Download XT1034 modems [here] if you have the Canadian Moto G
Download XT1032 US GSM modems [here] if you have the us version (thank you @jmonster141)
I HAVE GIVEN LINKS TO ALL THE MODEMS OF THE COMMON VARIANTS OF THE MOTO G. IF YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT VARIANT, DOWNLOAD YOUR RESPECTIVE FIRMWARE, COPY THE "NON-HLOS.bin" and "fsg.bin" FROM YOUR ORIGINAL FIRMWARE TO THE FOLDER WHERE YOU HAVE THE SDK, mFastboot, GPE FIRMWARE AND OTA AFTER STEP 3 AND FOLLOW STEP 5 TO GET NETWORK. IT IS EXTREMELY TIME CONSUMING FOR ME TO HUNT DOWN MODEMS FOR ALL THE NUMEROUS VARIANTS AND LINK THEM IN THE OP (IM KINDA BUSY WITH MY STUDIES RIGHT NOW) SO PLEASE TAKE THE PAIN TO DO SO YOURSELF. ALSO, LINK THE MODEMS YOU USED,TO GET NETWORK, IN THE THREAD SO I CAN ADD IT TO THE OP AND HELP THE REST. (That's how the amazing XDA community works right ?! )

The reason i am starting this guide is because I faced a lot of trouble myself trying to get this update and had to scavenge through multiple threads to get stuff working. I had flashed the update on my Moto G XT1033 converted to GPE using the mixed firmware by @deej_roamer [using this tutorial], OTAed to 4.4.4 and flashed the OTA manually using ADB. I was stuck at the bootlogo following this. This was because of the firmware being modified this interfering with the OTA. Since i was now stuck with the new 41.18 bootloader and the partition table (gpt.bin) of the OTA, i could not flash the XT1033 firmware. So this is what I did:

That's a nice way to convert I didn't think it could be done this way.... Cool bro
dual sim will work with this method right?
can you give feedback, is it stable enough to be used daily? have you encountered any bugs or features that doest work? force close?
im thinking jumping to 5.01 but need some idea of how stable it is as i dont have a spare phone at the moment if it fail or got bricked
thankyou !!!
No Network
Hey
I still don't see any network on my phone.
This is after I flashed the modem files
Any fix ? Thanks
For me GPE 4.4.4 doesn't boot anymore, because of the new bootloader I assume. GPE 5.0.1 also didn't boot. Only Motorola Firmware booted successfully. Do you know what I can do about that?
This works whit the xt1034 ?

I am really sorry but i missed an important step in the OP (i realised it right away but my mom wouldnt allow me to touch my PC before i finished my homework :| )
Once you flash GPE 4.4.4 with the original modems, flash the OTA and after that reboot to bootloader and AFTER that flash the modems of the phone model you have. When you boot into lollipop it will say that it will take around 5 minutes to find network and wait patiently until it is done.

Make sure you follow step 2.1. And make sure you used thw links i provided in the OP. GPE 4.4.4 boots just fine for the rest of us. (Sans the screen flickering which is fixed after a screen unlock)
Hi,
I'm stuck on step 3 (can't adb sideload the ota). I can't boot to recovery - just a picture of android with the ! (red) sign.
GPE 4.4.4 is working just fine (with network too).

I for got to mention in the OP, you are supposed to press volume up and power button simultaneously when that logo comes for 7 seconds and then release it.
It just reboots the system when I press volume up and power button when that logo shows up.

As far as I can tell the difference is leaving bootloader (which fails to flash anyway) and GPT from the retail Firmware. I flashed the whole GPE before which resulted in being stuck at bootlogo

Yep. The old partirion tables are incompatible with the new bootloader apparantly.
Can somebody confirm if this works for XT1034 (Retail Canada/US AWS)?
Well it Works but i dont have any network I flashed my modems from the original firmware of the xt1034.
Any Help ?

MAN I FCK LOVE YOU THANKS, IT WORKS IN THE XT1034
sorry for the caps but Im really happy
UPDATE JULY 02, 2015.
IMPORTANT. From 5.1 update, the modems included on the update are FULLY compatible with all models, XT1097, 1092 and 1093 and all carriers ,so, you don't have to worry about losing IMEI, signal or data.
According to @thrill1985 the XT1092 in Germany Vodafone with the new modem of the 5.1 is not getting 4G/LTE signal BUT 3G, so if you are faccing the same issue just flash your stock modem. I am in XT1097 Mexico Nextel with stock modem 5.1 and I am getting no issues at all, could be your carrier
Friends, if you converted your beloved Moto X 2014 variant 1097, 1092, 1093 etc etc to the pure edition XT1095 using this post and getting the 5.0 lollipop OFFICIAL and you want to update to the final 5.1 OFFICIAL update please go to the second post. BUT if this is your first time trying to convert to pure edition PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST and in the instructions you will find when you are ready to flash the 5.1 official If you are on some variant of 5.0.x BUT your BL is locked and want to convert to 5.1 Pure edition please read till the end of how to unlock your bootloader and make your own backup.
UPDATE APRIL 01, 2015.
I've been receiving a lot of PM asking me about the update to 5.1, how to convert, what do they need to backup, etc etc. First my friends, I don't answer PM about "how to do this", that's why I create this post, so, if you read the entire post, use the "search button" and you still can't find your answer then post a comment and it will be answered as soon as possible. In other words "PLEASE DON'T SEND ME PM ASKING ME ABOUT SOMETHING SPECIFIC, READ!", here is all you need to convert to pure edition.
PURE EDITION CONVERTING.
Assuming that you are on 4.4.4 (doubt) proceed, but if you are on pure edition but you flashed your own modem go to post 2.
IF YOU ARE ON SOME STOCK VARIANT OF 5.0.x OF SOME CARRIER BUT HAS THE LOCKED BOOTLOADER PLEASE CONTINUE WITH THE POST, THE STEPS TO MAKE YOUR OWN BACKUP IS THE SAME FOR 4.4.4 AND 5.0.x.
This guide is to convert any version of XT109x to XT1095 in order to get the updates faster and cleaner, this process is good for every model, XT1097, XT1085, XT1093, etc etc.
The problem comes when the people dont read the entire post or think that jumping one step will be safe for them...
Taking that as a base I have to recognize that since I made this post a lot of Moto X 2014 variants are in the market right now and is almost impossible to make a guide for every model for every company out there so, I am going to make a simple list and you should follow each step in order to avoid lost signal, no IMEI, etc.
WARNING!!!!
By now you should have installed the ADB drivers and the Motorola USB Drivers as well. I do not take responsability if you do not know when I am writing those commands.
Unlocking your bootloader and taking this guide is your OWN responsability and I am not responsable for bricked devices, ebola, zombies of if your girlfriend leaves you for being such a nerd like me...
STEP 1. Unlock your bootloader. You should be able to unlock your bootloader, please refer to the next link post to check if your phone is available to it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-moto-x-2014-t2876773
The post says that is only for pure version, but it works in any.
STEP 2. Root. If you was able to unlock your bootloader, now you have to have root access. Please refer to this post to do it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/pure-edition-superboot-style-root-motox-t2889264. WARNING. This is only when you are in KitKat, if you do this on Lollipop you will have a bootloop and you will have to flash a new system.
STEP 3. BACKUP. This is a must do! Only for your own health. After the root you will be able to make and entire full backup of your system, and maybe you can share it with us and make a big list of them, so anyone could use them in case of panic or nuclear war... :laugh:
Please connect your phone with USB debugging on, and in the carpet where you have the ADB and FASTBOOT command open a MSDOS window and enter this commands.
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/partition of=/sdcard/gtp.bin
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/motoboot of=/sdcard/motoboot.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/logo of=/sdcard/logo.bin
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/system.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/NON-HLOS.bin
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fsg of=/sdcard/fsg.bin
After that, the entire dump system will be on your phone SD CARD, now you can copy to any folder you want, even make a ZIP file and upload it to the cloud to have it as a life savior. :highfive:
STEP 4. BACKUP IMEI. although is hard to lost IMEI is good to have it as a backup., some folks are saying that after a bad system flashing or a lot of flashing the system became corrupt and make them lost the IMEE....as the step 3 follow this commands.
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds of=/sdcard/pds.img
And that's it, after those steps you can follow down and see how to convert your XT10xx version to the Pure Edition XT1095... Hurray!!!!
There is only one Pure edition, and that is the XT1095 model, not even if you bought your Moto X on Motorola (Motomaker) outside the United States. There a lot of variants that Motorola is selling throw their website around the world, but only the american version, XT1095 is the pure edition, so please consider that.
EXAMPLE. All XT1097 brand firmwares are compatible with all XT1097 around the world, it means, if for some reason you mess your Canadian XT1097 and you loose signal, you can flash the Brazilian version of XT1097 and your phone will have signal again, that doesn't mean that the baseband is 100% compatible with your carrier, but at least you won't be stuck with no signal; this apply to all Moto X variants.
THIS IS NOT A FULL CREDIT TUTO... IS AN ALL-IN-ONE GUIDE AND TAKING MY OWN EXPERIENCE SHOULD BE WORK IN ANY MODEL, 1097, 1092, 1093, etc..
If you are in XT109x Android 4.4.4 and you have not received the OTA for Lollipop or if you tried to sideload the OTA via ADB and did not worked this is for you, just follow the STEPS A to B, but...
YOU HAVE 5.0.X Version. unfortunately I don't have the full system of the 5.0 pure edition so, if you can find it please comment and the link will be added.
NOTE. You can't just flash a version of 5.0 Pure edition (via TWRP) and that's because most of those ZIP only contains system and boot (kernel); the recovery and modems are not touch by those ZIP's, even if the zip contains the modem your phone is rooted and the system partition has changed; your phone will be "partial Pure Edition", so please, don't do that..
By now, the only certain way I have to convert to pure edition, both 5.0.x and kitkat is to downgrade,then install the OTA's one by one, THIS ONLY APPLIES IF YOU ARE IN SOME VARIANT OF XT109X firmwares. I JUST LEAVE HERE AS A REMINDER; PLEASE IGNORE.
STEP A. FIRMWARES
To convert XT1097, 1092, 1083, etc, to 1095 and then to Lollipop 5.0, you should download those two files.
The first one is the XT1095 Pure Edition 4.4.4 and this is the link. (for respect, the original uploader is @SolarTrans)
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=227f163cb35629da&id=227F163CB35629DA%2120267&ithint=folder,&authkey=!AMWPTB3ICDtezYs
Is the middle one. The Lollipop 5.0 OTA is the one on the right.
Extract the firmware in the same carpet where the ADB and mfastboot files are.
To convert directly to 5.1 please use this link instead. Thanks to @AGISCI for providing the links.
http://www.filefactory.com/folder/dd05c058d3ff8dbe/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=25 The one you are looking for the Pure edition is the VICTARA_TMO_XT1095
Extract the firmware in the same carpet where the ADB and mfastboot files are.
Ok. Lets go.
NOTE: YOU JUST CAN'T FLASH THE 5.0 OVER THE 4.4.4 LIKE THE 5.1, BECAUSE THE MODEMS OF THE FIRST ONE (5.0) ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ALL THE VARIANTS OF THE XT109x. IF YOU DECIDED TO GO FROM 4.4.4 TO 5.1 JUST GO TO POST 2, BUT IF YOU WANT TO STAY ON 5.0 PLEASE READ FROM HERE TO THE END.
Go to he carpet where you extracted the 4.4.4 XT1095 firmware and type these commands
Code:
adb reboot bootloader ( your phone should reboot to bootloader)
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot reboot
Wait till your phone reboot and you will see that now you are in 4.4.4 XT1095 Pure Edition.
STEP B. UPGRADING LOLLIPOP.
After the reboot save the Lollipop OTA file to your internal SD memory.
. Enter bootloader of your phone, select recovery and you will see the android robot lying down with the cheast open, press volume up and power at the same time, release the power button after at least three seconds and you will be enter the stock recovery... choose "install from SD card", select the file of Lollipop you saved before and wait till the magic happens.
When the phones reboots you will be on Lollipop.. but not so fast, do not enter any account and skip all the proccess, go to "settings" and make a "factory reset" just to be sure that all traces of KitKat are erased.
Let the phone reboot...
Wait till you phone reboots and you will be on Android 5 Official, but you will not be able to get any signal, even entering to "settings" and trying to choose the signal manually, the phone will be refused to connect to any signal. So this is where we use the backup of our modem/baseband we did before.
If your phone is able to get signal CONGRATULATIONS!!! you only have to enter the Access points manually, but if you do not...
IF YOU WANT TO STAY ON 5.0 PURE EDITION FOLLOW NEXT STEPS, IF YOU WANT TO UPDATE TO 5.1 JUST GO TO THE END OF THE POST AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCCTIONS, YOUR SIGNAL WILL BE RESTORED WITH THE 5.1 OTA.
Copy the files "NON-HLOS.bin" and "fsg.bin" to the carpet where "mfastboot" is. Rename "fsg.bin" to "fsg.mbn"
BE VERY PATIENT WITH THIS, because according to some people, flashing only these files WITHOUT erasing modems you should be able to get signal, so
with your phone in bootloader and in mfastboot mode type
Code:
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot reboot
After this, your phone should reboot and get signal... but if do not happen (like me) try this.
with you phone in bootloader and in mfastboot mode type
Code:
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot reboot
After the reboot you should have signal yes or yes.. REGARDS!!!! you are now enjoying the sweet of Official Lollipop. :laugh:

Now, if you want the 5.1 Update:
Find the 5.1 ZIP (don't have it, don't know where to is it and we are not allowed to post information about it because is a SOAK test, please don't ask)
Save it to your internal SD
Reboot your phone into bootloader
Once in bootloader select "Recovery" and your phone will show and android lying down with chest open.
Press power and volume up for at least three seconds, then release volume and power button.
When the dialog appers, select "Install zip", select the location and that's it.
Android 5.1 now is compatible with all the bands of XT1097, it means that after the update from 4.4.4 to 5.0 your signal is lost, but if you update straigh 5.0 to 5.1 your signal will be restored, don't know if this applies to all variants, please comment.
Firmware and modems
OK, if you are here you have 3 possibles scenarios.
1. You are on 4.4.4 (really?) and want to update to 5.1 official.
2. You are on a converted version of some variant, like XT1097, 1092, etc using this post early this year and you want to update to 5.1 OFFICIAL, because even you are receiving the OTA you are not able to install it for some error showing on the stock recovery.
3. You are on 5.0.x of some carrier (like me), your BL is unlocked and want to convert to the pure edition 5.1 official.
IMPORTANT. From 5.1 update, the modems included on the update are FULLY compatible with all models, XT1097, 1092 and 1093 and all carriers ,so, you don't have to worry about losing IMEI, signal or data.
SCENARIO 1, 2 and 3.
Download the ENTIRE SYSTEM of the 5.1 of this link
http://www.filefactory.com/folder/dd05c058d3ff8dbe/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=25&page=1
The one we are going to use is the VICTARA_TMO_XT1095_5.1_LPE23.32-21.3_cid9_CFC.xml.zip
Thanks to @AGISCI and his post to provide the links. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/5-1-firmwares-t3148211
Extract all the files on the carpet where the ADB and FASTBOOT files are.
After that you will only have to put your phone on BOOTLOADER MODE, connect it to your PC and type this to check if your computer recognices your phone: fastboot devices and if you see the serial number of your phone you are ready to go.
By now you are going to flash all the files you need to be on 5.1 pure edition, you will loose all your partitions and root and all your mods.
NOTE. IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE FLASHING FILES AND WANT TO KEEP SOME PARTITIONS PLEASE REFER BELOW THIS CODE; IF YOU DONT HAVE IDEA WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT FLASH THIS CODE
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase userdata (optional)
fastboot erase cache (optional)
fastboot reboot
Let me explain the files
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin - Will flash the new partition of the system and data to receive the new update, is not a mandatory flash, like some people are reporting, you just can skip this if you want, but I dont recommend if you are on 5.0.x
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img - The BL version 60.16, you can skip this for sure if you are on 5.0 and 4.4.4, but if you are on 5.0.x is a must-flash.
fastboot reboot-bootloader - reboot the bootloader
fastboot flash logo logo.bin - the boot logo, is optional in any case
fastboot flash boot boot.img - kernel, you have to flash it
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - Stock recovery, you can skip it to keep the TWRP
fastboot flash system system.img - full 5.1 system, must flash
fastboot erase modemst1 - erase old baseband
fastboot erase modemst2- erase old baseband
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn - flash the new baseband, must flash
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin - flash the new baseband, must flash
fastboot erase userdata - optional for all users, but in order to avoid problems, must do it.
fastboot erase cache- optional for all users, but in order to avoid problems, must do it.
fastboot reboot - say no more.
After that your phone is now
Enjoy!!!
OLD FILES; JUST AS REFERENCE FOR NEXTEL MEXICO USERS.
Thanks to @samagas who upload the necessary files for Motorola XT1097 Nextel Mexico.
Here is the link post No.12

thank you!
I think not, because you changed the Baseband, but untill a update arrives I am not complety sure.
In any case just flash again the baseband of 4.4.4 Pure edition, sideload or push the OTA of the new version of Lollipop to the SD and everything should be ok.

Friends, reading a lot I was able to convert my beloved brand new (2 days old) XT1097 Nextel Mexico Moto X 2014 to the Pure edition XT1095. A lot of people says that the XT1097 bought from Motorola is Pure edition but thats not true, the only pure edition is and only will be the XT1095.

Yes, here in Latin America is the XT1097 pure edition too. The difference are the LTE bands as far I know. I been searching and i found that the first device to get the updates is the 1095 and the others "pure edition" later.
This guide is for those who don't want to wait for the update or like in my case are locked to a carrier.

The long wait was because there was a severe sms bug in lollipop, which needed to be analyzed and fixed before the update could continue. Nexus devices had the lollipop pulled because of this bug

That's right. But after 2 soaks we are in Official Lollipop. Motorola is pushing the official update to "pure edition" devices and maybe later January the carriers will update
This is great, I'll follow this guide early next year
I havent flashed anything yet (I decided to play a while with my now rooted and unblocked phone due to Lollipop not being fully compatible with stuff) but I did boot my moto with the openrecovery-twrp'''''.img and performed a backup. I also did the modem dump and I'm currently uploading both, the twrp backup and the modem stuff. Just in case anyone needs an ass saver. Im adding the links as soon as they finish being uploaded
One question, I know it is possible to dump the original recovery the same way as the modem files, I supose you just need to save it "sdcard/recovery.img" but, is it worth dumping? I mean I don't see anyone suggesting it or asking for it, is it not necesary?

1. Good my friend, if you have the TWRP backup of your Nextel fimware tell me were the links are because mine was corrupted and now I dont have the original file
2. Of course you can pull the original recovery the same way you pulled out the modem, in fact, you can pull the entire system that way, but in our case we only need the modem/baseband because flashing an entire new firmware makes you loose signal, and the modems for differents versions of models, like 1095, 97 or 92 are differents, but the recovery is the same.
In case something/someone messed up
Here is the TWRP backup from my Nextel Moto X, sadly for everyone I did not save the original recovery. If you do have the stock recovery it would be very much apreciated.
Just modem's files: Modem Nextel xt1097
TWRP stock backup: 4.4.4 xt1097 Nextel
OTA update for Nextel XT1097 Blur_Version.21.27.3.victara_niimx.niimx.en.MX

Att and when you say spaces are you referring to the # signs? I'm just surprised as it seems you are the only one that had been able to unlock ATT moto x 2nd generation bootloader which seems hard to believe but I'm not saying you didn't do it. Could you make a tutorial on how you achieved what so many others can't. Thanks

Mexico and Brazil (along with other countries) have non-ATT branded XT1097. It's just the ATT version that is blocked. Which is all XT1097 in the US.
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:
If i helped you. Please be Kind Enough to press the Thanks Button. Not just say thanks press thanks.

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.
