^^^<br />remove this line from the script, and you can install cm12 on any bootloader.<br /><br /><br />
Code: 
<br />assert(getprop("ro.bootloader") == "0x4118" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "0x4119");
<br/>

Is that cwm recovery ?
 
Open zip in winrar
Go to Meta-inf -- com -- Google -- android folder (in winrar only)
Then pull updater-script to any folder, keep winrar open,
Then open updater-script in notepad, and change all 4118 or 4119 etc to your bootloader version , like 4113.
Click save in notepad.
Than again drag updater-script in winrar (hope you have not changed folder in winrar)
Winrar will replace updater-script in zip.
Then transfer this zip to phone sdcard and flash.

If you don't have system , use adb while phone in recovery mode.
Adb push c:\folder\xyz.zip /sdcard/

C:\folder\xyz.zip = actual path of zip.

For how much time did it hang on CM logo ?
Normally first boot takes 5-10min.
Also did u wiped data / system before flashing.
Which gapps did u used ?

yes I did all that but I will try again later thanks for the help :)
 
Data partition also need to be wiped, as all you apks are there and they are installed using dalvik, lollipop use ART, if you don't wipe data you will have many issues like - boot loop, Google play force close errors, etc etc..
 
@SuperR, is there any chance you could change up your 5.0.2 partition updater zip and remove the modem so it will only update the bootloader? A lot of Verizon and other carrier users are having trouble with radios after flashing and thought it would be very helpful this way.
 
Yes, but there are a few other partitions updated besides bootloader and modem. Do you want just the modem removed? I am not sure what the side effects will be either way.
 
I would assume the other partitions being updated should probably happen with the bootloader. It's just that Verizon users who are flashing this are going through a lot of trouble to get their radios working again. If the other partitions don't do anything with the modem, then I think it should work that way. Then, when there is finally an official update the 5.x.x radio can hopefully be flashed and all will be good in theory. I got another brand new 4.4.2 Moto G for $60, I couldn't resist, so I guess I could try this, I just want to be able to flash the 5.0.2 modem.IMG with fastboot after to be where the original partition updater would get me. I'm still waiting for the single image.bin to be made so I can hopefully fix the other one. Thanks!
 
@SuperR, I'm wondering if the lines in the updater script, erasing modemst1 and modemst2 can just be removed and maybe carrier data won't be lost or if it would just bork thinks worse.
