Does anyone know how, and if it is possible to convert it to the XT-1092 EU version (Mine is the XT-1092 DE (German) version)
and is it possible without unlocking the bootloader.?
Thanks.

I have (had) a retde xt1092 variant, I flashed the reteu firmware without problems, even without needing to factory reset and then upgraded to lollipop without any problems. My bootloader is unlocked, you can try with a locked bootloader

Thanks for your reply,
I did try to sideload the xt1092 EU version though, and samy thing, it compained that my fingerprint was wrong..
So.. I guess I would either have to unlock the bootloader, or wait for the German version to be released..

Just flash the reteu image and then sideload, you probably don't need to unlock

no man
you need to be unlocked to bypass that signature verification.

Thanks a lot finally i'm running lollipop on my moto xt1092
?
For all guys on retde you can easily flash the reteu 4.4.4 image and then sideload the lollipop ota. Everythings running smooth and without bugs.

Hi,
flashed the eu-version on my german Moto X. Everything worked, but in the statusbar i see the 3G icon when connected to my Wifi.
Bug or Feature?

To be clear, you can definitely flash the EU image and the EU OTA update.zip on a retde XT1092 without unlocking your bootloader and without losing any user data. I did and everything is running smoothly.

Me too, I can confirm that.

Help here

Hello,
I have a retde XT1092 with locked bootloader.
When i try to flash the reteu zip (Via stock recovery) a message appears that instalation is aborded.
Can you please give a mini-guide to do this?
Maybe the Factory image i have is wrong.
Do you have any links for the Factory image?
Thank you for your time.

You are probably using regular fastboot not Motorola fastboot.

[Q] [XT1068] [Stock 4.4.4] Does Rooting and custom recovery break the OTA?!

I have unlocked bootloader, flashed Custom Recovery TWRP to my Moto G2 XT1068 and rooted on 4.4.4 stock, while waiting for the official lollipop updates.
So does this break the OTA, and if so how to enable it again?!
Yes you don't get official Lollipop OTA if you unlock your bootloader. For getting official OTA you have to unroot ur phone and relock the bootloader

Okay, understood. thanks mate
And a few threads along the road you will read:Just do a full unroot and reflash stock recovery,unlocked bootloader is no problem for capturing OTA.
I don't know.....

Rooting didnt affect OTA with my old moto g upgrading from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 and probably wont affect the new moto g too

No. You will receive ota but you can't install it. For root to work, /system has to be modified. The OTA-package will recognize this and refuses to install.

Also not true. OTA does not require a relock. Only unroot and stock-recovery is required.

Oh my bad sorry, for OTA we don't need to relock I think relock is for regain the warranty correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks for the answers guys.
Now why the heck i can't relock the bootloader whatever i do?! did anyone successfully relocked the bootloader before, and if so. how?!
i've followed all the guides around and it always give me errors and i can't flash rom!!
and in fact isnt really any useful to relock it?!

seems like i cant relock my bootloader, whenever i do all the sequence of flashing the stock rom without the "oem lock begin" everything goes smoothly and i can restore to stock image.
as soon as i put "oem lock begin" i got a error in boot.img:
bootloader preflash validation failed
bootloader invalid signed image
and it doesn't continue...

Maybe the rom currently installed and the rom you try to flash and lock are not the same. Or, at one point you installed a rom that had a version above your current one. There are some partitions that can't be downgraded, like gpt and motoboot (which is the bootloader). Subsequently the lock will fail. Anyway, locking the bootloader is absolutely not necessary. There is no benefit in doing so.

Yeah, i had tried a lot of Roms, so maybe that is why. And now i am on Custom Lollipop Rom (Titan)...

Firmware update...

Hi all,
Currently receiving an OTA alert about firmware 22.41.24.en.gb. Anyone know what this is? 5.1? Can't install as I am currently rooted with custom recovery and xposed framework. Is all I need to do to install change to the stock recovery?
I've got this update as well this morning. Also rooted with TWRP. I'm no expert but I would say we need to wait for someone to make an update we can flash from recovery.
What is your model?

Locally I have stock image + ota
I can upload ota but for apply it you have to use everything stock
I removed root via super su app menu and reflashed the stock recovery.img before accepting the upgrade.
Then once the update installed ok I put TWRP and root back on the device.

Now that you have ota installed, can you tell me your system version and build number? I have 22.21.28.thea_reteuall.en.EU retfr system version and LXB22.46-28 build number and I didn't receive any OTA upgrade notice. I have not done any mod (root, custom recovery...) to stock
OTA Fails
Damn, even after full unroot and flashing back the stock recovery the OTA fails... And I can't really read why.
Except for root, I installed system settings Tasker plugin and converted it into a system app as well as froze some CN bloatware apps with TB. I will now reflash twrp and reroot and first try to unfreeze and as a last step uninstall the Tasker plugin.
If anybody has some solid experience, please share and maybe save me some time.
Thanks!
UPDATE: Alright, that all didn't work. I realized that the tasker plugin does not copy anything to the system, but I had a Helper app from PinTasker there which I deleted. And I unfroze all the apps and did a full unroot, but still no luck. I don't know what to do anymore now except for going full back to stock (no gapps), but I would rather avoid that if possible.
Still, glad for any input on this matter!
Thanks

Hi, is it possible to flash the stock retgb firmware (on locked bootloader) if the phone came with the retde firmware? Since they are exactly the same model (xt1072) and both firmwares are digitally signed by motorola.
I ask cause the retde hasn't received this ota update yet, and if I switched it to the retgb i could get the ota update right away for the newer modem and bootloader before i unlocked and got cm.
Thx

Could you explain in detail how do i get back to 4.4.4? I am fairly new to all this. i'll update my phone over OTA later on.
Can you help me with 4.4.4? Step wise? I know about the manual flashing but when i do so it was my bootloader is updated so i cannot downgrade.

That's true. You can not downgrade, if you are on a light, official side. But if you want to try dark side - flash your Asia region 4.4.4 without "gpt" and "motoboot" lines in its XML file. Once flashed 4.4.4, you can take OTA 5.1 on it without any problem.
A message to future users. Being on 5.1.1, then downgrade to 4.4.4, and taking 5.1 OTA - will brick. Don't do that.

I really appreciate your response. My bootloader is ineligible to be unlocked. I can flash the bootloader partition. The ones I can't flash are boot, oem, system, gpt, and a few other critical ones. The other issue I run into is the validation error when I do flash a new firmware. The stock won't flash due to security downgrade issues. If there is a way to get around it I would appreciate any and all help!

Hi Techno,
How exactly did you do it? it's been so long since i used to play with rooting phones. and i found one phone that made me wanna root. Moto E4 plus. after all the steps, now am stucked to TWRP. i tried to flash magisk but still goes back to twrp.
TWRP: twrp-3.2.3-0-nicklaus
instead of: twrp-3.2.3-1-nicklaus, issue file too large
i'm not trying to revert back to original, im still pushing to root the phone. but, im stucked.
what could i possibly have done wrong?
Thanks in advance!
