Have you tried using RSDLite to flash the original ROM?

It has probably been rooted using an exploit. Be VERY careful or you could lose root forever.
Is the bootloader unlocked? Let me know and I may be able to help you with clear and precise steps.

If you erase..are you aware that you will loose Root permanently.?
BUT..If you use the (jcase) RockMyMoto & SlapMyMoto, you can retain Root with these two exploits, Since your device is still on Jelly Bean OS..BUT..to do so, one must be experienced with adb & RSDLite..and you can retain Root over into 4.4_

Root for this phone is not that important. Im tired that every time I want update a program or install a new one I need to delete google profile from the phone, reboot it and again use google profile. Otherwise nothing is installing.

If root isn't important to you......BY FAR, the easiest solution is to follow the instructions in the "Return to Stock" thread - in general subforum, and flash the entire 4.4.2 SBF to your phone. Everything you need is in that thread, including links to drivers, tools, and the SBF files themselves.
Just keep in mind - you'll permanently lose root/wp-off. You can still use the temp-root methods, for now...but once you update to 4.4.4 (it will be pushed out to everyone SOON), you will have ZERO chance at rooting (unless a new exploit comes along, which is extremely unlikely, OR you get your bootloader unlocked through the middleman).
Good Luck!

[Q] [XT1064] Is it possible to convert XT1064 to GPE (Google Play Edition)?

Hello, can someone help me convert my Moto G 2014 XT1064 (US) to the Google Play Edition?
I bought the Moto G on sale at Amazon a few days ago, then remembered why I had put off purchasing it previously, all of the Motorola bloatware!! No Motorola, I don't need an additional backup service, and I don't want your services constantly running and pinging home, and I'd like to get updates in a reasonable amount of time. My device said it was up to date but was still on KitKat, which was very disappointing.
So far I've unlocked my bootloader (via the official Motorola method) and I did successfully upgrade to Lollipop but it was the Motorola version.
These are the packages that I have downloaded:
Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US.zip (the motorola 5.0 update?)
Blur_Version.22.11.6.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US.zip (small update for motorola android 5)
GPE_XT1032_KOT49H.M004_CFC.xml.zip (stuck at Google screen with unlock icon, waited 30 minutes)
One issue is that it seems like both of the main sites that host the stock images have been down for a few days:
- http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=36 (DOWN as of 12/12)
- http://motofirmware.com/files/category/38-titan/ (DOWN as of 12/12)
I also used the MotoToolAioV3.1 with the GPE_XT1032_KOT49H ROM which resulted in a bootloop, I'm guessing this is for the 1st gen Moto G?
Right now I'm back on Motorola KitKat version 21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US.
Is there a way to make my Moto G XT1064 stock GPE or should I look for a custom ROM that or should I try CyanogenMod 11?
One thing to note is that I was running on less that 50% battery when trying to flash GPE_XT1032_KOT49H with MotoToolAIO, could this have been an issue or is this only to prevent the battery from dying?
Thanks for the help guys!
P.S. It was not worth it saving $70 to get the on-sale version at Amazon rather than the Google Play Edition. I've not even been able to find out for sure if you can get the 2014 version with GPE, which makes this even more frustrating.
Also, which versions are compatible with each other or are none of them compatible unless stated? Will the 1st gen ROMs work on the 2nd gen phone?

there is no GPE edition for Moto G 2ND GEN.......... and 1st gen ROMS wont work in our phones.. flashing dem results results in a BOOTLOOP

Thanks, it's really disappointing that I can't have stock Android on a Moto G 2014 and have it somewhat easy to update. When is that going to change Google, come on, it's been the same ROM -> Bootloop -> flash -> brick -> hours of ADB and mfastboot for 5 or 6 years. Having 20 Motorola services phoning home and alerting me to signin to Motorola constantly is inexcusable, and makes this otherwise great phone a LEMON.
Is there a tool or method to strip out all of the Motorola junkware?

eeeee

Edit: I don't understand, we have root, we have an unlocked bootloader, why can't this phone be 100% converted to a GPE phone? What's the technical limitation that's preventing this?

Oh, sweet, thank you so much!
It probably seems like a "duh" but this tip should be a sticky!
I never once have read somewhere that the Moto G 2014 doesn't have a Google Play Edition. Eventually I suspected that it didn't but only after an hour of flashing and bootloops.
So this is not the 2014 version? https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Moto_G_Google_Play_edition_8GB?id=moto_g_8gb&hl=en Is the model number of the GPE phone I just linked to XT1032?

A varient of XT1032

Man you must be dumb if you think you can flash the moto g 2013 gpe rom to the 2nd generation moto g. It's like me trying to flash a GS5 or Note 4 ROM on my GS4. It will never work and results in a softbrick or worse. Also quit being so dramatic. This motorola rom is as close to stock android as you are gonna get from an OEM. If you want to get rid of the unintrusive motorola services just root and remove the unwanted apps with titanium backup.

It's certainly not obvious at first glance that there is not a GPE version of the 2014 version of the Moto G.
What's the technical reason that I can't flash the rom on a different device? Hardware driver support? Config files?
Is it really that difficult for Android to support having multiple drivers available for different hardware? Windows does it just fine. Linux does it.
I can't seem to root the XT1064, most people seem to end up in bootloops when trying to and so did I, so no Titanium Backup at the moment.
This is as close to stock as many manufacturers offer?? That's very disappointing.

Thanks, I'll try that today.
I tried the xt1064_lollipop_boot.img version yesterday with the 2.16, 2.35, 2.38, 2.39 but I might not have waited long enough on some of them (did wait 15+ minutes with 2.16 with no luck).
What screen was it on while booting? Was it ever a completely black screen (with backlight on) for an extended period of time?
What ROM / OS version were you on when you rooted it?

Are you using the stock Lollipop recovery or TWRP?
How do you get into recovery from Lollipop? I've tried all different combinations of power/volume buttons but cannot get past the Broken Android screen.
By "flash SuperSU" does everyone mean using "adb sideload superSU.zip" from recovery?

I pushed SuperSU 2.38 to /data/local/tmp/ because that's the only place that I could write to as far as I know.
I booted into recovery and installed SuperSU then rebooted (I didn't clear any cache manually).
The phone is on the Warning Bootloader Ulocked screen and rebooting. I'll let it sit for about 20 minutes and see if anything good happens. Thanks for the assistance.
Edit: is mine on the wrong screen? You said yours stayed on the "bootlogo", is that the Motorola splash screen or the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen?
Edit: IT WORKED! Thank you!!
Edit: Looks like it's bootlooping after reboot.

[Q] Having trouble figuring out rooting & recovery works on Moto X coming from Nexus

[Q] Having trouble figuring out rooting & recovery works on Moto X coming from Nexus
I'm no noob, I've been rooting for a while, but I can't figure out how to root this damn thing . On a Nexus, I just unlocked, flashed TWRP, then flashed superuser from TWRP, and I was done. How does it work on this phone? Can I just flash TWRP and then from TWRP flash a root zip? I'd rather not use any toolkits and such (which seem to be all the rage on this forum). Running Pure edition btw. On latest Lollipop OTA.

Yes its pretty much the same, the forums are abit immature at the moment there aernt any proper guides, i just did things the Nexus way
unlock your bootloader first through motorola, following the instructions (make sure there are no spaces in the unlock key): https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
flash twrp, then install the superSU zip from adb sideload or from your internal storage if it was already downloaded
youre done
also, you could flash the stock logo image to remove the warning boot image, http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/warning-message-unlocked-bootloader-t2871478 to make things look nicer

Awesome, thanks. Looks like that's what I'll end up doing. I really messed up my phone though when trying to get back to stock. Hopefully my stock image request will be approved soon and I'll be able to go through the process again.

One more question, if I kinda messed up restoring everything to 4.4.4, but I can boot the phone properly, will updating to 5.0 via an OTA update fix any mistakes I made along the way?

Not necessarily. The ota contains only changed files (not all files) and therefore if something is wrong with a file that wasn't changed (including anything in /data) then it will still be broken after the update.

Alright. Do you know of any way to return to stock without going through Motorola's waiting game. It's been a few hours now and I still haven't been approved for the download.

Honestly, I haven't looked at what options are available for images to flash.
When I asked for firmware, I believe that I asked on a Friday evening and received access on the following Monday morning. So maybe you'll get access in another 15-16 hours? That is your safest bet if your phone is working well enough to last you until then.

Flashing Apps Packages and other zips without recovery

I have a 2013 Moto X xt1060. I recently rooted my phone from android 5.1, the only problem is that this is a write-protected root and won't let me modify system files so I am unable to install any custom recovery, while trying to it through adb, I am getting a "variable not supported" error. I just want some way to flash zips into phone without recovery. I have already tried Flash Gordon. It didn't help.

Can't boot into Android after installing SuperSU

Hello guys,
Yesterday I decided to root my Moto x play.
I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP without any problems.
Then, after installing SuperSU, I get the "warning bootloader unlocked" screen all the time, when I try to reboot normally into Android.
I first tried SuperSU v2.65. Then I tried SuperSU v2.46.
How should I proceed to correct this?

Did you try SuperSU 2.79?!
Sent from my LS-5015 using Tapatalk

Actually, I did so because I want to install a custom ROM.
Should I ignore this step (rooting) and jump to ROM flash already, since I got TWRP working?

Yes you can do that..
Read the flash instructions carefully, before you proceed.

I just tried, still the same screen, since 10 minutes ago.
I don't think it takes 30 minutes to boot into Android after installing SuperSU, does it?

What am I missing here??

Well, I finish by flashing a new ROM, without rooting my device.
Thanks anyway.
