[XT1033][Mixed-Firmware]Convert Moto G into Google Play Edition(GPe)[NoobFriendly]

DISCLAIMER:
What you do with Your Device is Your Responsibility!
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device.
I'll try to help you solve the problem, if I can!
I wanted to change my XT1033 into GPe, and well procedure isn't that hard, but it required installing two firmwares one over the other that is
GB first and then selective flashing of GPe. And as i frequently change between GPE, GB, AsiaRetail. I made custom scripts for each one of them. I also Mixed the firmware of GPe and GB to make one single firmware which can be directly flashed over XT1033 using one single bat to convert GPe.
I am lending the major part of work from @ffosilva who in turn gives credit to @oldblue910 on thread
[FASTBOOT] Google Play Edition images (semi-official)
I know similar threads already exist, I am starting a new one with the aim of keeping the thread Noob-Friendly, And provide a single download to convert into GPe. I am also adding the package to change the Unlocked bootloader logo to GPe version. and providing a bat script to make it easier for newbies!​Downloads
You can download the Mixed-Firmware From:
1.Here (GDrive)
2.Here (progammingnerds.com) by @tanmay190
Mirrors Needed!
Pre-Requisite: Installed Motorola Drivers.
Instructions:
Download the Package and Extract it to a folder
Reboot the phone into Bootloader (Power+VolumeDown).
Double Click XT1033_to_GPe.bat to begin
OR
Run Following commands from the Command Prompt after cd-ing to the folder, one by one
Code:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
mfastboot flash fsg fsg_intl.img
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
Reboot into system to be booted into GPe version.
And there you have it the XT1033 converted to Moto G GPe.
Quick Useful Links/Tips:
CWM for GPe
Philz Recovery for GPe
Command to flash a recovery "fastboot flash recovery filename.img" (without quotes) where filename.img is the filename (It has to be in the same folder) of the recovery image that you are flashing. To go back to stock recovery you can find the recovery.img from the download package above and flash using the same command!
If you use CWM/Philz, when you exit the recovery while phone is unrooted, It will ask you that your phone is not rooted, Install su? You c5. an select yes to root your phone. and later install SuperSU from Play Store.
SuperSU flashable zip if you Think flashing SuperSU directly is better! I find the above method a lot faster!

Dual SIM?

I dont know, do you know if it is related to dualsim? Lets say we converted a xt1033 into gpe with this and get one sim working. Can we flash stock based xt1032 custom roms on this gpe rom ? Gpe roms use ext4 filesystem whereas motorola roms use f2fs.
Lets say I want to keep f2fs file system and get one sim working with stock based xt1032 custom roms. What should i do ?

Flash a full GB firmware, you will get a single sim working! and you will also have a f2fs!

I could install this rom but recovery does not recognize the sd card.
I can't install any thing.
How can I fix this problem?

i don't know if it's just my mobile , but when i use single sim rom ( i mean xt1032/gpe rom ) audio in real racing 3 and nfs most wanted gets laggy , and sometimes audio repeat itself for every 3-4 seconds . gameloft games are fine tho . i tried replacing xt1032's "audio.primary.msm8226.so"
file with xt1032's "audio.primary.msm8226.so" but i lost sound completely .

Well

Download the mfastboot+logo_bin.zip again!

mfastboot does not crash but still does not work.
Maybe not install all GPe file? Finishes very quick and still remain previous rom.
Do I have to download GPe file?

On some systems mfastboot crashes after the reboot command The best work around is to add "mfastboot continue" after the reboot command in the bat script

I'm in the same boat. I can restore a backup to revert my /system (mostly, I think I only have to remove su afterwards), but could you link the stock recovery?

Recovery depends on your system, search for your specific firmware and there will be file recovery.img inside, then just "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".

Unfortunately, no. While the update seemed to complete, the system wouldn't boot afterwards: I got a "No Command" error whenevery I tried to boot. This was shown on a recovery-screen with the android bot in the middle (similar to the screen you see while the update is applied).
I'm now trying to reflash most things (but not wiping my data just yet), including /system, but unfortunately the update has to be downloaded again and it's rather slow...
If that doesn't work either, I'll have to do a full return-to-stock with a complete wipe, but I'd rather not...

With the second attempt the update finally worked fine. Booting obviously takes ages the first time, but afterwards it was fine.
I can recommend to just re-flash the important partitions instead of manually trying to restore the stock state. What I did and what worked was the following (using files for RETDEALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-14_Easy_Installer, linked in the signature of reefuge on the first page of this thread):
Code:
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot.exe erase cache
Notably, I didn't wipe (except cache of course), flash the partitions or the modem

Unrelated: I don't know to what exactly this is related (Rom? version?), but it seems the lollipop version of XPosed doesn't work on this ROM, it bootloops when installed...

Xposed for lolipoop is in alpha, it still doesn't work on many roms and devices.

if you're on 23.11.14 you have to go back to 5.0 in order to update to the newest 5.1 (23.16.3).
You can also copy the zip over and flash within recovery, if you prefer. I always think sideload is easier (though actually, now that I think about it, I copied it over and flashed from within recovery myself...)

Be advised: some of us are discovering you can't do the OTA to 23.16.3 if you are on 5.0 46_11.11. Apparently you need to be on 5.0 46_11.10.

I had this problem initially as well because I downgraded to 5.0 using the official Motorola 5.0 firmware downloaded from the Motorola website, which is apparently 46-11.11.
I had to use this one-day-older version instead, which is apparently 46-11.10: TMO_XT1095_5.0_LXE22.46-11_cid9_CFC.xml.zip. I found it and downloaded it from here: http://motofirmware.center/files/file/76-tmo_xt1095_50_lxe2246-11_cid9_cfcxmlzip/
So... I downloaded the firmware from that link, followed the OP instructions almost exactly*, and I was able to upgrade from 23.11.14 to 23.16.3 successfully.
* One change I had to make from OP instructions: The pieces of system image had an extra period before the piece number, so I needed to retype those commands like this: fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0 ...etc.

This is surely 5.1 instead of 5.1.1...

Could someone please describe how to install this, and what firmware is required to be installed on?
Can confirm, it works.

the way Motorola updates work is that update files are named after the version they are updating from
but this update is indeed 5.1
here is the info from the update script
motorola/falcon_retbr/falcon_umts:5.1/LPB23.13-56/57:user/release-keys
and during the update, it will check if your phone is running the following firmware
motorola/falcon_retbr/falcon_umts:5.0.2/LXB22.46-28/28:user/release-keys

Asia retail - brazil retail difference ?

220.27.1 to 5.1?
Does anyone have the german retail zip to update from 220.27.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE to 5.1?
I don't have the update yet and my system-ui is glitched.

Yes, if you have the ROM file you can flash it using mfastboot via fastboot mode, even with a locked bootloader. After flashing you will get an OTA update to 5.1.

If you use the comand "mfastboot erase userdata" all your files will be deleted. Just dont use that command, save your files on the first boot and then make a factory reset. Doing this will prevent problems with files from the old installation.

When I tried to clean install this over the 5.1 GPE rom, it successfully flashed but I got stuck in bootloop.
What could be the issue? Not that it matters much since I flashed CM instead.

System Staus- " Modified"

Hello Xdians, I am running G4 Plus XT1643
I recently flashed elemental x on MM
After flashing that i am getting system status as Modified instead of Official ... Can anybody help!!
Is it because of elemental x
I tried a clean flash of custom rom but issue still persists ....
I have to sell the phone ..Pls help

Downgrade to lower version of MM (139-23, i think, not sure ) and you will receive latest update of MM (139-63)... It will make it official...

That's because you flashed EX kernel. This overwrites your stock kernel (boot.img) with EX kernel. Your bootloader only considers stock (Motorola) ROM files as 'official' including the kernel.
Obviously when you flashed a custom ROM it won't have Moto files as they have their own kernels.
To get it it back to official you need to revert to stock MM using this guide:

This should solve your issue
Note: It will wipe all your files and remove root, etc as it will make your phone just like how you got it when purchased.

Move your question here from development thread, i clearly said OTA, sideloading zip is not OTA...

Once you unlock the bootloader it will always show modified in the bootloader. You can't revert back to official once it's unlocked therefore modified. I already reverted back to stock firmware using fastboot and it's still considered modified.

I am not sure if what you said was right. Unlocking bootloader won't change the status to unofficial on the screen but it does essentially void your warranty. Even if you unlock, the device will still show it as official until and unless you decide to play with /system or /oem or root or custom kernel. Other than that, I believe it will still show it as official even though unlocked.

System status changes if you modify stock firmware.
It doesnt have to do anything with locked or unlocked bootloader.
I successfully changed my system status from modified to official even with unlocked bootloader.

1. Download older firmware :- MPJ139-23.1.
2. boot into twrp & format dalvik/cache/system/data/internal storage & then poweroff device.
3. GOTO :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/how-to-downgrade-nougat-to-marshmallow-t3487201
Use that code to flash firmware using fastboot.
4. Now after booting you will get ota update around 500mb. Update & you will get official status.
5. That's all i did. It worked perfectly for me. I've xt1643 model.
