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

I've downloaded each ROM to no avail. However, the update partition zip DID fix lots of my problems that I was having with my connectivity and therefore, I am grateful.

Now I can just flash a custom ROM with connectivity. Thank you SuperR.

Trying to flash your rom/update and I get this error.

"E: Error executing updater binary in zip "/data/m" and it goes off screen here. "

This is the first time I've ever encountered this problem in my years of flashing stuff.

I think the problem is with the recovery. Others have reported similar behavior and using CWM Swipe seems to fix the issue.

After you select ART, do a factory reset in recovery (twrp)





Mostly either bad download or you didn't updated partition tables.

I did that but it still uses Dalvik. In fact, after switching to ART it doesn't even seem to attempt to switch and just boots like normal except it boots to a blank screen.
 
@SuperR
Can you make partition roll back zip, few of my known friends want to roll back to 4.4.2 , just because in 4.4.4 no one is able to find SPC/msl.
Msl utility works perfectly on 4.3 and 4.4.2 but it is not working in 4.4.4

They are in the firmware restore zip so they should be able to fastboot flash them.

edit: errr, maybe not all of them

edit2: definitely not all of them are in the firmware restore zip. Someone would need to grab them from a 4.4.2 device. I don't have them.
 
@SuperR
I need your help for downgrade / upgrade,
I got stock firmware 4.4.2 Ver 173
Can I ping you on gtalk or yahoo ?
 
Is it normal that every time this ROM boots that it updates Profile and PRL? Literally, every time. Is it just me? I'm running the rooted 4.4.4 deodexed on a boost XT1031...

First make a backup and then try renaming, freezing, or deleting SprintOMADM2.apk in system/priv-app and reboot. This has worked for me in the past with no negative effects. It's covered somewhere around here...

I just installed stock and custom kernels for about an hour rebooting numerous times after each one and this only happens after installing custom kernels. It's no certain kernel, its all of them. Every time I reflashed stock this didn't happen. I didn't really think it was the kernel but I'm pretty sure it is. I'm guessing everyone with this problem has a custom kernel installed.
 
Yeah, I left out the tiniest, I'm being sarcastic in saying that, detail. I've gt multirom installed and it's my primary boot. I also have two other ROMs installed as secondaries... So custom kernel? Yeah, you could say that... Lol.
 
I had this happen to me on 2 moto g's before I unlocked boot loader and rooted them. I was on 4.4.2 stock. I went into fastboot and went into stock recovery and cleared cache. The problem went away after that.
 
Downgraded using SuerR 4.4.2 zip
but it reboots from home screen as modem shows as unknown.
flashing 4.4.4 modem worked on 4.4.2
now I am on 4.4.2 deodex rom from SuperR + 4.4.4 radio.
Everything works fine.

SureR - I need your help in downgrading modem.

I tried Fastboot flashing modem from 4.4.2 IMG. - shows as unknown.
Tried 4.3 Radio via ZIP install, still shows as modem unknown.

I'm on my second Moto G and I thought this happened before doing anything too but couldn't remember, so assumed it was normal for the phone. I really didn't think it was the kernel, that's why I decided to test things out. Wiping cash in custom recovery doesn't seem to do any good though.

You will need to get the modem partition from the 4.4.2 device by using dd. The following command will grab it. Once you get it upload it and I will make a zip for you.
Code: 
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/modem442.img

edit: It would not be a bad idea to get all the partitions from the 4.4.2 device that were updated while you are at it. We could have a proper downgrade package.
Code: 
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/sdcard/aboot442.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sbl1 of=/sdcard/sbl1442.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/rpm of=/sdcard/rpm442.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/tz of=/sdcard/tz442.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fsg of=/sdcard/fsg442.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sdi of=/sdcard/sdi442.img
 
Tested above recovery , works well, also thanks for suggestion for 4.4.2 modem partition . I know dd commands but don't have any working phone with 4.4.2 modem. Will hunt and upload the dumps
