Root [CDMA] Moto G Stock 4.4.4 and 5.1 Soak Tests {Boost Mobile}

Awesome, now I know my girl won't get pissed for wiping her data. I'm updating mine as soon as I get outta work. Thanks! Unfortunately if I can't get 4.4.2 stock recovery to work, I probably won't be able to get the 4.4.4 recovery IMG. I wonder if anyone has yet.

I am not too worried about the stock recovery. It is just nice to have in case we need it for something.

I updated the OP so all the 4.4.4 roms are there now :)

The gs stock recovery is the dead android with (no cammand) under it its for use with pc
 
SuperR some of us are having a hard time loading up basketbuild site can you upload it on devhost site please?? Or maybe even Google Drive??

I was having trouble too but kept trying and finally got it. Just updated without data wipe as SuperR said and everything seems fine.

Edit: there's probably a lot of people trying to download.

I don't have time right now, but I will upload them to AFH as soon as I can. Sorry :(

edit: they are uploading now. I hope to have time to post links before I need to leave. Otherwise it will be late tonight. Sorry for the trouble.
 
When I try to flash stock rooted version I get a failed error message saying : error executing updater binary in zip. What does this mean?
 
Btw I'm only flashing because I'm having data issues and I know the stock version had in the songs the ability to update prl, activate etc. Unless there's another way to do it on my current rom. When I called boost to refresh my data they ask me to dial ##72786# and it'll bring up some menu on the stock phones but doesn't work on any of my roms. ..

Not sure. Others including myself did not have this problem. It's possible if you got the rom from the new links above we have a bad upload. I did not have time to check md5 like I normally do. The basketbuild links in the op are good for sure. Will check them later.
 
Thank you SuperR! I tried to go the OTA route but it failed miserably with an unlocked bootloader and CWM. Your falcon_KXB21.14-L1.57_deodexed.zip and partition update worked great.
 
Black MMS zip in OP does work on 4.4.4.

I just flashed it and it opens and shows my messages...but when I open a message thread I can't send a message or even scroll through the messages without it force closing. I may modify the 4.4.4 Mms.apk at some point but won't have time for a while.
 
It looks like the hotspot no longer works on 4.4.4, at least not by changing the build.prop line as on 4.4.2. It simply says error :(
 
That's weird cuz I updated the same way you did and changed the build.prop and it's working for me just fine. I forgot to reboot at first and didn't think it was working but once I rebooted it was fine. I didn't have it say error before I changed build.prop either it just grayed out and did nothing else when I tried to start tether. I just had my Nook HD+ connected to it.

Well that's interesting. I rebooted and it still says error and grays out. Happy to hear yours is working :)
 
Just added Tweaked MMS 4.4.4 White to the OP. The black one will take more time than I have now.
 
Mine tethering works fine , in first boot it didn't . also for me (non boost activated), I have to take long way via SQL edit.
But worked for me .
 
##72786# is for forcing a refresh on the phone, in some cases it will also cause the hands free activation to come up too...
Yea that's what I want it to do. I have no way if reactivation my phone and that's what I need I need it to reconnect to the towers and update prl and profile. Right now I have no service at all...

I believe you can only do those ##XXXXX# codes on stock roms
