This is a guide that is strictly for those who are as impatient as I am to get Lollipop on their Moto G (2014). I know there are several guides for folks in the US, and other countries as well, but currently there is no OTA for Canada yet. We are literally left out in the cold. So, I thought I would put a collaborative guide together so the Canadians can enjoy some 5.0, too!
First and foremost, if you F up your phone, that's on you. This will void your warranty, and I am in no way responsible for any stupidity you conjure up during the process.
I have only tested this on the XT1064, which is the single SIM US/Canada model.
The issue when trying to simply follow the upgrade guide for the XT1064 is that the OTA file looks for a 4.4.4 variant of Android that needs to be the same region as where the OTA came from. If you try to install it on the Canadian versions, you will get an error. So, here goes:
1. Unlock your bootloader. Follow this wonderful guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...wip-unlock-bootloader-moto-g-2nd-gen-t2875728
2. Download the US version of 4.4.4, it can be found here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/2ygnt0x45vcr/RETUAWS_XT1064_4.4.4_KXB21.85-17_cid9_CFC.xml.zip
3. Extract the above file to the same location you installed Minimal ADB in the first step (C:\Program Files(x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
4. Turn your phone off and disconnect it from the computer. Press and hold the volume down (-) button and power button to get into Fastboot mode. Connect your phone to the computer.
5. Run Minimal ADB and run these commands:
PHP:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
I removed the modem commands on purpose, and I will explain why later.
6. Once the phone has rebooted, plug it in to the computer and follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/lollipop-moto-g-2014-xt1064-t2937361
You should now have Lollipop on your Canadian XT1064!
If you have issues with the WiFi or cellular, you may have to flash the modem commands again from the old file. I had to download the original Canadian ROM (http://www.filefactory.com/file/78znv8hx0tvt/RETCA_XT1064_4.4.4_KXB21.85-16_cid14_CFC.xml.zip) and using Fastboot flash the following:
PHP:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
After that I had no issues and everything seems to be working as it should. You can relock your bootloader afterwards if you like as well.
Thanks to the other contributors above, I was simply trying to put a quick guide together for us Canadian folks who wish to get Lollipop, too!
Cheers!
This is great - although I think I'm still "out in the cold." I have 11.24 and couldn't flash the above due to "downgrading." Unless I'm missing something... Any ideas?
This worked for me! Thanks for the awesome tutorial!

At which part do you get an error? Are you trying to use a script to flash, or are you doing exactly step by step like mentioned above? I had the latest of the late on my Moto G 2014, so I know that these steps work on it.
Is your bootloader unlocked as mentioned above?

Yeah - I'm not sure what the problem was - originally it wouldn't take the US ROM due to a downgrade error. Tried it again, after a factory reset and for some reason it went through. Flashing Lollipop and the modem after was no issue at all - so good to go now. It's beautiful.
Thanks for the follow-up.
AKA: I should have just ignored downgrade error + HAB fail on phone, the first time around
I am getting hab check failed for boot when i use the command " fastboot flash boot boot.img "
please help

Disregard the error and move on to the next command. You are going to get a few errors. Don't worry.
installing update
verifying current system
/system/app/3c_main.apl has unexpected contents
installation aborted
this is after i run the commands and upload from sd card...
followed your commands and tried few fresh zips
can you please help, it won't let me install the lollipop file
Another way:
Go to this link, XT1064 > Lollipop, download the file and extract it.
And follow the same idea of OP but with few changes:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata

This one just avoid you to flash USA KitKat and then Lollipop. This one goes directly to Lollipop.
Doesn't flash Modem/Radio from USA Lollipop because doesn't work on Canadian models, at least didn't work with WIND Mobile model.
WIND canada moto G XT1064 lollipop
Thanks very much for posting this. and thanks for posting the link for 5.02 from MEGA which is a lot faster than filefactory!
I've attached a link to the original Wind 4.4 modem files in case someone's modem doesn't work afterwards, if they followed the top post original instructions and accidentally flashed the US KitKat 4.4 modems.. instead of downloading that huge file from filefactory.com (extremely slow site), the link has just the 2 files (22MB).

Also may be worth mentioning to ignore the "hab check failed" messages when flashing lollipop. (I was using mfastboot)

Just a super-dooper-uber Thanks To NexusChrist!
Who ever you are, I tried to follow your system. it didn't work for me, infact I lost wifi connection, but anyways what I did was I used another script for this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...dows-tool-moto-g-2014-xt1064-restore-t2957167) And this worked, but now I lost Cellular Service....Big problem eh? Well no more, thanks to you. I downloaded the Canadian rom, and just to be more specific (cause it was kinda vague in the tutorial, (Extract the files again to the Mininal ADB fastboot file location the whole c drive thing yenno?)) And I ran that php and BAM thank you so much I was worried out of my MIND that I f'ed up my phone somehow. Foreal, bless your soul....or your XT1064?
No XT1064s were hurt in the making of this post

That happened because you flash the modem from Lollipop... Just flash the modem in OP and you will be ok.

Just a tad bit curious I also have a Wind Mobile Moto G2 and i'm just wondering how you unlocked the bootloader in the first place. If you could please share the process on how you did it that would be great.
Anyone know how we can get the LP bootloader on the Canadian version?
I'd like to be able to update my CM12.
Thanks!
Awesome
I'm on Bell &
everything is working 100% radio/wifi/bluetooth all good
Thanks
This is a great guide. But I'm wondering if we've been given any explanation on why Canadian Moto G's aren't getting OTA updates? It's April and my Moto G is saying up to date with 4.4.4. It's from wind if that matters.
I understand we can do this work around. I'm just trying to understand why we're not getting updates.

Your carrier is most likely the reason since they have the final say on updates.

But what about the people that bought their phones from Staples. It's unlocked and not associated to any carrier. They are directly under Motorola and still no update at all. Phone are getting 5.1 update already, but we're still at 4.4.4
What's so different in the Canadian market from the US one that the update can't come fast? Specially if the phone is not associated to a carrier and the update should come directly from Motorola
Haven't seen it around here, so I thought sharing is caring:
Image of Lollipop 5.0 RETEUALL for XT1092 version LXE22.46-19
DOWNLOAD http://motofirmware.com/files/file/1055-reteuall-xt1092-50-lxe2246-19-cid7-cfcxmlzip/
Enjoy!
How to flash (taken from https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images and modified)
After downloading the image for your device:
Unzip the image.
Put your device in fastboot mode. [e.g. by using "$ fastboot reboot"]
NOTE: You must use the Motorola fastboot utility to flash (included in the Darwin/, Linux/ or Windows/ directory). Please do NOT use the Android fastboot utility [better known as "mfastboot.exe" - so you probably change the command "fastboot" to "mfastboot"]
Follow the flashing steps in the .xml file that was included in the package.
A typical flashing sequence includes all these partitions, but might vary depending on your product - so please use the sequence in the .xml file in your package:
$ 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_sparsechunk.0
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
$ fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
$ fastboot erase modemst1
$ fastboot erase modemst2
$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
$ fastboot erase customize [leave that out if you have special customization from motomaker]
$ fastboot erase clogo [leave that out if you have special customization from motomaker]
$ fastboot reboot
You also have the option to erase all the data on your device with
$ fastboot erase userdata
$ fastboot erase cache

What would be the use for this? For devices without an unlockable bootloader? Just curious why this wouldn't suffice.
It will be useful when you want to lock the bootloader back again.
I'm sure you'll want it if you were from a country like mine.

Once you request for the unlock code and unlock the bootloader of your device its done, relocking won't help you to claim warranty if the service center guy looks it up.

Hi, thanks for the upload.
I have a question, as my device is XT1092, the european version. But my carrier, Orange Spain, sells the Moto X unlocked, or they say so, and my phone version goes by 21.21.45.victara_oraeu.oraeuall.en.EU oraes. Should I be able to flash the ROM? I have experience doing so, so my question is just this one.
Thanks.
Yes, you can flash this image.
I myself flashed it on my French Orange Moto X (orafr).

I'm pretty sure I flashed this file on my Orange Moto X but I still have "orafr" after "22.21.19.victara_reteu.reteuall.en.eu".

I have that too, but since i flashed the retail modem (modem and fsg files) i think the "orafr" is related to the efs partition (something we don't "touch" during the flash process.

Keep in mind depending on the region you're flashing you may have a different number of sparse chunks (I think VZW has like 16, where as stock has like 13) You just enter the amount of sparse chunks you need to flash.

I would just root yourself then. I couldn't get systemless root to work with the current TWRP available so I just flashed a forced System ROOT instead.

Download from there and flash it in TWRP. But say goodbye to Android pay obviously
:/ Ok; try as I might I cannot seem to get my Moto Z to boot if I have SuperSU installed. My bootloader is unlocked, and I've been able to flash different ROMS with no problem. But if I try to install SuperSU (v2.78-SR1) to a working ROM, or install JanJan's pre-rooted US ROM, then Android simply never boots. I just downloaded the three more recent versions of SuperSU to give them a try, but does anyone have any suggestions of what I might be doing wrong here?

Sounds to me like you need a different Boot image then. I flashed the boot.img that was disabled force encryption, then flashed the System mode SuperSU. No issues at all. US Moto Z 64 GB model.

Or , if anyone has a nandroid backup of their phone via twrp , can you send me that ?
I badly need to get my phone working by today , ASAP.
Thanks a lot !
-> Story : I wanted to move to CyanogenMod13 , so i did a backup of my phone via twrp and wiped it clean. However , i forgot to move backup to laptop , and now i don't have any backup. Plus, in CM13 i can not receive any phone calls.

Or , if anyone has a nandroid backup of their phone via twrp , can you send me that ?
I badly need to get my phone working by today , ASAP.
Thanks a lot !
-> Story : I wanted to move to CyanogenMod13 , so i did a backup of my phone via twrp and wiped it clean. However , i forgot to move backup to laptop , and now i don't have any backup. Plus, in CM13 i can not receive any phone calls.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=72578. Go to this page and download firmware named amz. This is the correct firmware for indian varient..
Hi ! thanks a lot for that !
In the meantime , i found a link to XT1643. and i installed it , everything works fine , except that my baseband is unknown. Is there any way to restore just the baseband info ? cause everything else works fine.
I'm on a slow net plan , and if i can just fix that part , i will be saved from downloading 1Gb software all over again.

and in the file there are no sparsechunks which i can install unlike in the american version.
I followed the commands below to install

The steps were not for indian version. In the amz - indian version , you can not simply follow all the steps : a few (~2) files are not there , and there are no chunks. I was making some mistake before , but next time got it correct.
I did the same but my wifi is not working now. Dont have my laptop also with me. Is there a flashable zip available?

Stock moto roms are not in flashable zip format.You may have flashed the wrong rom on yout device.Like you have a g4 of us and flash firmware of the uk model.

Don't misguide users. You shouldn't post if you are not sure about something.
First, its not a zip file. Its a rar file.
Second, its not flashable. You need to flash it using fastboot.

yes sure see the topic title and also tested on XT1643
also I'm able to re-lock the bootloader
TO relock the bootloader and Flashing
First of all download the stock firmware rar file ( thanks to Arivendu for heads up) - multi platform support (windows linux etc)
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/CKF3/AWVREk6s9
Mirrors :

***** this firmware also worked for other moto g4 variants *****
extract it
open folder name : athene_oem_user_7.0_NPJ25.93-11_12_release
under the folder their is a folder name "Windows"
copy files from "windows" folder to root folder
and use below command to re-lock bootloader and flash your phone with latest version of stock 7.0 (tested on xt1643)
SHIFT + Mouse right click >>> open command window here
and enter this commands one by one
Code:
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata

Or download the oem unlock and flash mobile.zip (833.6 KB) from atatchment and place the files in root dir where you extracted the firmware
and run the OEM lock.bat file for automation
if the device not reboot after firmware flash run this command at the end :
Code:
fastboot reboot
I can confirm that rar contains factory images and it's working fine on my Moto G4 Plus XT1644 64GB/4Gb RAM (RETUS). Finally, running Nougat on my device.

Thanks, I had a browse and it looks like it's from http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/22076-moto-g⁴-plus-npj2593-11/
Although the website says they are not an official Lenovo forum, if it's working for people, that's great. It'd be nice if we get a Nougat ROM we can flash in stock recovery without adb fastboot
Massive cleaning on the thread.. Please be warry of whatever type of file you are flashing on your devices.. A little mistake will brick your devices. I hope no one will post again a non-flashable zip.. and pls. put into considerations the knowledge of others. Not everyone knows what a RAR file or a ZIP file is... Please be cautious.. AND LASTLY .. NO FLAMING ..... NEVER ALLOWED HERE

Hi guys
I have an XT1643 and I have downloaded the firmware mentioned below. It was a 7z compressed file with password as "lenovo-forums.ru"
"athene_oem_user_7.0_NPJ25.93-14_16_release.7z"
I couldn't find the commands for flashing this through bootloader. If someone may know a solution, could you please post the command or guide me?
thanks

The fastboot commands are the same as in the post you linked in your quote. Alternatively, you may refer to the instructions listed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369
One way to flash your stock ROM is (just expanding on the instructions mentioned previously):
1) Download the Motorola drivers and minimal adb tool from the links here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369 Install the drivers and tool as directed by the installers.
2)Extract the 7z ROM with your preferred decompression tool (that can handle .7z file types). The resulting folder should be about 2 GB. Copy the files (from the extracted stock ROM) to your adb folder (may be on your C:\ drive, you may have to give permission to copy).
3)Connect your device to your computer. Enable USB debugging.
3a)Once recognised by your computer, open the adb terminal and type/execute 'adb devices' without the quotes. Your device should return back its serial number if properly detected.
4)Back up all necessary data and files to your computer. Flashing a fastboot ROM may wipe your data from your device.
5)Reboot your device to bootloader mode.
5a) Re-confirm you can still detect your device in fastboot mode by executing 'fastboot devices'. Should get your serial number again.
6)Run the commands as directed in the fastboot ROM thread in the adb terminal.
6a)These commands are for relocking your bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize (optional: will erase any customizations if ordered through motomaker)
fastboot erase clogo (optional: will erase the custom boot logo if ordered through motomaker)
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot
6b) If you don't wish to type all this, you may wish to download and run the scripts from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 Ensure you copy the scripts to the adb folder, where your ROM files and the adb terminal should be. There should be 2 scripts there, one for if you want to relock your bootloader, one if you don't wish to.

What firmware did you have previously on your device, and are you trying to relock your bootloader? The firmware linked here is quite old (November 2016 security patch), and the warning you're getting suggests you have newer firmware on your device.
If you're on the June update, do not flash this firmware.
