How to get official Android 5.0.2 Lollipop on your Boost Mobile Moto G (1st. gen.) without root.
Step 1. Make sure you are running stock 4.4.4. If you are not on 4.4.4, I don't think this will work and it might brick your phone.
Step 2. Make sure you have a backup copy of anything important from your device.
Step 3. Download this file, put it on your Moto G, in a folder where you can easily find it.
Step 4. Power off the phone. Once the phone is fully powered off, hold down both the volume down and power buttons for about 5 seconds, you are now at the boot menu. Using the volume down key, highlight "Recovery", use the volume up key to select it, after maybe 10-20 seconds you will see the message "No Command.". Don't panic, this is good. Now press the volume up button and power button at the same time and then release them at the same time. You must press them and release them at the same time for it to work. Your device should reboot to a new screen with some red text and several options, using the volume rocker to highlight "apply update from sdcard", use the power button to select, now, using the volume rocker to highlight and power button to select, navigate to the file you downloaded. Select that zip file. Your phone should begin installing the update, it will probably take about 10-20 minutes. After finished, select "Reboot device". Even if you don't see any changes/progress, don't worry, it's rebooting and It should be finished in about 10-30 minutes, depending on how many apps you have installed. As soon as it finishes rebooting, you're good to go.
If it doesn't work, let me know.
Just in case anyone needs mirror (the one above has many actually):

flashable zip?
Hate to be that guy, but those links should be removed. Posting the soak test is against the rules. XDA was contacted by Motorola over this soak test specifically, and was told to take it down. This has already been discussed.

lol right, the fact still remains.
I believe you can ask people to PM you but publicly posting a link is "wrong" in Motorola's eyes. It goes against their nondisclosure agreement for the soak test.

Oh its been out. Like a couple months at the very least.
did this work for anybody?
If i do this will i be able to get the official update also? Jst curious
Much Thanks!
Thanks a lot for putting this out for others to use. The least I could do is say thank you and kick you a donation. Thanks again!
Is this the Soak test or Official update? i flashed the 5.0.2 soak a few months ago. Would it be considered safe to wipe everything and then flash this? or is the exact same thing and would i be wasting my time? I have had issues with "ok Google" not working properly, Does the Hotword from any screen wotk in this version?
The zip contains BatteryTracer and Bug2Go apps so I assume it is the soak test.
Just a heads up I am running a TextNow moto g which is just the boost variant. And I tried 3 times but each time the firmware would fail halfway through the verification process.

It Works!!!
I just wanted to confirm that this works for the Moto G for Boost Mobile. You Must Be Running Android 4.4.4 For This To Work. I Would Show You Guyz Pictures But Im A New Member And I cant share links.
Everytime I go into the recovery it just sticks on the dead android? Anyone know what's wrong? Thanks.
Thanks for posting this but it didn't work on my phone. Everything was a success but now I just get a black screen with no app launcher. I can't launch anything from the notification menu and nothing shows up when pushing the nav buttons at the bottom, It might have broken something.

Hey guys, I'm running Froyo OTA on my DX and I was wondering if someone could help me speed this bad boy up a bit. I want to overclock just a little so my PSX Emulator will run a bit smoother. I am fairly new to the Android community and do not have much knowledge when it comes to this stuff.
I have SetCPU but it only goes up to stock CPU speed. I have come to understand that I need a new kernel that will allow me to bump it up over stock clock.
I do not want to go too high (Was thinking around 1.1Ghz, maybe a little higher?) because from what I understand, it is already clocked pretty high out of the factory. If anyone can help me understand a bit better I would greatly appreciate it.
I need to find the correct kernel and figure out how to install or whatever without turning my phone into a paper weight.
Help please?
You can't OC the DX on the Froyo yet. We could do it on 2.1 but not 2.2.
Also, the PSX emulator is not coded very well and the stuttering and horrible playing experience on it is due to bad coding and also a fairly weak GPU on the DX.
If you want the best gaming experience at this point in time, get the Sanding Fascinate. Its CPU and especially GPU runs circles around the DX. However, you will still have to wait until the coding gets better for that emulator.

Yes- you do need a custom kernel and there aren't any yet. The bootloader is locked and they are working on cracking it. Until then- no goodski.
Thanks, but there is a new problem...
Ah, I see. So I wait then. haha, but I have a new problem now.. I installed Tranquility and now all my stupid phone does when I power up is show the loading screen. It's been doing it for a good 15 minutes now. I know it is off subject but can someone tell me how to remove this Rom?

Well the first and most important question is - did you back up your original rom before you loaded tranquility- bc if not - it is bad news. If you backed up- then you can restore your back up. If you didn't- well- I am not sure what you can do. I will wait to hear if you have a back up.
If you can't figure it out, you could flash the newly released sbf.

That is just great news! I have to find a way to charge my battery though... I am friends with a few of the verizon guys so maybe I can get them to charge my battery on one of the DX's in the store. Thanks guys, I'll try the new VRZ_MB810_2.3.15_1FF_01.sbf!

I have a rooted galaxy S2 with cm7 and transparent status bar patch.
Today I tried the app "super status bar" for theming the status bar without root.
Because the app applies a second status bar over the native one I hid it within launcher pro to keep the transparent look.
After playing a while with super status bar and trying to change the app with ninjamorph because I did not liked the icons from the free version I finally decided to remove it.
After that my status bar was gone and did not come back after changing the settings with launcher pro plus.
I still was not really alarmed- I mean I had clockwork recovery and a nandroid backup.
So I decided to flash cm7 again and also do a full wipe- to be on the safer side...
But the notification bar is still gone- also with adw launcher...
Now I am alarmed.... any ideas... help.... ???
You need to replace the framework.apk with the current one. Download and replace the framework.apk of your current ROM.

You must've replaced with a wrong framework. Anyway, get rid of the bootloop first,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
then find the correct framework to replace.
I already flashed back to stock rom with odin but I still have a bootloop...
Now I really don't know what to do because I don't know how to try the villain rom with bootloop and no recovery..
I don't understand it- I really did a lot of flashing with my former phone- the motorola xt720- and when everything went wrong flashing back to stock rom was the last but the step that worked everytime!!! What went wrong now????
Did you remember to wipe data and cache in stock android recovery after flashing stock firmware/rom ?
If not, do this and the bootloop will be history. ;-)
I have experienced bootloops before when flashing different stock firmware/roms.
I hope all works out for you

I just know how to get into download mode... I have to admit I am quite hectically now...
Okay dont panic
How to get into recovery mode.
1. press and hold the volume rocker up and the home + power button, while the phone is off
2. just continue holding those 3 buttons til you see the recovery screen, if not try again.
This should get you into recovery mode.

Its just like getting into download mode, when the device is off
Only difference is holding the volume rocker up instead of down, i think.
thank you both very much- that was the problem.
I guess I needed such an experience to realize again what messing around with framework etc. means... and that I am really not that android experienced I started to believe the last weeks...

accidental post in wrong thread
My wife got me a brand new A500 off ebay a couple of months ago for a Christmas gift(for me it's only three days old). So far I love it but it will not take the OTA update that it keeps bugging me about. The download starts fine but then stalls out mid download. I looked here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878 but did not see my current version there. Can anyone point me in the direction of the OTA I need to download and flash with recovery? My build is Acer_a500_1.145.09_com_gen1 I'm running 3.0.1. It looks like it's trying to download 4.010.11.
Further info:
According to the log the file name is Acer_A500_1.145.09_4.010.11_com_gen1_1311243587838_bd1ab95c.zip
I can't find that file anywhere on the net.
The reason I would suspect is because someone replaced the stock recovery? Off eBay you say, was it brand new and never used? It sounds like it was used or someone tampered with it?
If that's not the case, then you can just install the update manually. Download the update you want and put it on your external SDCard and then enter recovery (using power and volume). The recovery will install the update for you.

It said it was brand new. My wife would not buy something like this used. The weird thing is it knows it has an update and it starts to download and get's up to half way downloaded and then it just stops. It shows that it still is pulling data but the downloaded file size doesn't increase anymore after it stalls.
Ive been looking into rooting it and since I'm on 3.0.1 it appears Gingerbreak is all I need. The next question is what rom should I get and how do I go about installing it? I've never rooted droid before and most instructions on XDA are written for the experienced level and not the new guy. I'd like to stay fairly stock but rooted.

Yes, if you want to flash 3.2.1 stock with root read the instructions in the download. The download has everything in it.
The soft reset everyone talks about is using the paperclip in that little hole next to the USB port.

Howdy all!
Did you install TWRP and then take the OTA, now you can't get your phone to boot normally, but you do see TWRP?
Here's the easy fix:
If you have ADB access, plug in your phone and run this:
Then you should be able to successfully reboot your phone via the TWRP menu option, or via a simple reboot command in adb.
If you DONT have ADB access (because of an early build of TWRP), you can simply use TWRP's awesome "terminal command" option to run the following:
You'll have to type that whole thing out, and be VERY careful with spaces and punctuation. One wrong letter and you could nuke your phone.
After that finishes, you can reboot and continue on your happy way!
Let me know if this helps anyone!

You can try flashing the factory Image from update 103.
It's available now too...

To enable it open the app / game then hold down the start button until it pops up, If it didn't work then read down...
for me it's working perfectly i think because i flashed it using a computer (or maybe a factory reset should do the trick) if you're going to do it make sure you do a backup in the external sdcard because everything in the internal sdcard will be deleted I'm not responsible for any lost file or any damage, I'm not trying to scare you but I will help you if I can
By the way I disabled "google" and still the gamepad mapper is working fine so "google" has nothing to do with.
How did you guys use a computer to flash it? Sis they release the img? I would like to flash it with my computer because I still haven't received the ota.

All of these have been brought up on the Nvidia forums, so yes, they can be confirmed. I would like to add, that the volume changes dynamically depending on the sound being played In some games and emulators, I noticed that the sound would get quieter and louder without touching anything. I had Virtua Racing for 32x running in Retroarch and the volume dropped and raised in the same places during the demo mode every time, like it was done on purpose.
Is it just me, or does it seem like Nvidia is trying to de-Nvidia the Portable?
