Guest Electronic Punk Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Can you do it without wiping data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TeamKilo Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) im guessing it will be on the generic Uk Retail rom after flashing this, thus updates direct from Moto? also, will it take away the ebay sim unlock that ive applied? and does this root?

Guest squallotaku Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hey paul ! I just bought a MOTO G, and subscribed to a french carrier SFR (I don't know if you heard about it in UK, same as Vodafone in France). My rom is not stock, it's modified by SFR. And it's very laggy. I'd like to install this UK STOCK rom until the global stock rom comes out. But I have a few questions: -Can I install this UK stock rom, with a French Mobile ? -Do I have to unlock my bootloader before installing it ? -This UK rom features Multi-language (French precisely) or not ? Thanks ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulOBrien Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I have just tested the script, I need to fix a couple of typos, hold fire! :)P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shure2 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Awesome, just a quick one, will this do the trick on sim unlocking as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulOBrien Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 No, the SIM lock is seperate. Pay the £2.04 to get the unlock on eBay.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest h@mster81 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Sorry for the noob question. Does the bootloader need to be unlocked for flashing this ROM with your script? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulOBrien Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 First post updated. Should work now! :)P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WillDroid Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 What's the difference? Can't see any Tesco branding here other than on the System Version on the about screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zim Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 worked perfectly on my Tesco moto G! thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TeamKilo Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 does this also apply root? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ced_Gee Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 does this also apply root? No, it's just the stock rom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest t-bon3 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 First post updated. Should work now! :) I've downloaded the r2 version, there seems to be a difference in the script between the windows and mac / linux versions, specifically in the erase commands the mac/linux has a space fastboot-moto erase cache but the windows has a single command fastboot-moto erasecache From testing it looks like the mac/linux version is correct.

Guest Frankish Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Pretty sure the windows command is right too i've used that command before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moezt Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Hi Paul After flashing this ROM will I be able to get a direct update from Motorola in future? Many thanks for the great job mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest np247 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 What should my system version be after please? I followed all the steps and it seemed to work, after it flashed all the partitions the script closed and I selected normal boot from the list. It then booted up but I didn't have to re enter anything, and it had my WiFi saved, which didn't seem right to me? Its saying system version is 14.71.8.falcon_umts.Retail.en.GB has it worked?

Yes that's the correct system version from the GB retail firmware. I'm guessing you used the windows .bat file. The problem is the script has not erased your /data or /cache partitions so the system has been updated but kept all your old data. This is known as a 'dirty' flash :o and is not recommended. It will probably work OK but you might get some random "unfortunately ..... app has stopped" errors. If this happens then you need to go into Settings, Backup & Reset and do a Factory data rest.

The theory is that the retail version will receive the 4.4 update as soon as it is ready. But with Tesco firmware you would have to wait until Tesco approve the update.

Guest chrisbarker Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Can I ask where one might find the Factory images from and what needed to be done to them to make them ready for flashing to the MotoG. My dad is interested in the phone but intensely distrustful of roms and such unless he can download them himself from the source. I've googled around but couldn't seem to find them.

Guest Rusty! Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 http://sbf.droid-developers.org/falcon/list.php Look at Paul's .bat file for what needs doing to flash them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
