Introduction

Recently, I have noticed about the multiple new roms that requires the boot 41.18+ and refuses to be installed over the 41.13 one, & that's why I had to "make" this script using various files from google, and other sites, and obviously a keyboard :p
I made a Spanish Version (wich has been tested many times) and now for xda, the english one :D

If you want something like this for another model, just provide correct bootloader, and let me see what can I do :fingers-crossed:

Supported devices:
xt1002, xt1003, xt1008, xt1028, xt1031, xt1032, xt1033, xt1034, xt1039, xt1040, xt1042, xt1045 :victory:
Old downloads | Bootloaders in zip mode.
First of all, you should read post 3 (FAQ) We don't want your device gets bricked ;)​


Requisites:
  • -Have the motorola drivers installed.
  • -Usb cable.
  • -For the moment you need to use Windows.
  • -I'll try to get this working on Linux and Mac. Something went wrong :( I got a Mac, trying to make it. :cowboy:


Hope you find it useful. :highfive:
Don't forget to hit thanks if helped you! :good:

And this works only on xt1028, xt1031, xt1032, xt1033, xt1034, xt1039, xt1040, xt1042 xt1045, xt1002, xt1003 & the xt1008 variants. I think those are all variants available, but... however.

For Moto G 4G users
After upgrading, you may lose signal. To fix it, just flash latest radio firmware available here. As always, thanks to @lost101 ;)

For all users
Don't flash random bootloaders on random device, It can gets bricked!

A: No. Congratulations, now you can ;)

Q: I got an screen fllickering after updating the bootloader

A: 4th post.

Q: Can I flash the xt1032 on a xt1040?
A: See up.

It should be mentioned that flashing an incorrect Bootloader (motoboot.img) could result in an instant hard-brick. Upgrading Bootloader is not something that should be casually done with any motoboot.img.

For safety, each model should have a specific script that includes the correct Bootloader for that model.

At the start of the script it tells you that is only for xt1032 and 33, but thanks, I'll add it to the OP. :)

Ya , boot-loader is something that actually flashes files to ROM.

Bootloader makes it possible for chip to communicate through USB.
So if you flash incorrect file then you need to correct that by mannually opening chip & connecting may be through ISB or any other available for ARM processor

I have not read of any XT1033 user flashing it. I would personally not be comfortable flashing it if I owned an XT1033 - as it is in no way worth the risk.

The v41.19 Bootloader is intended for XT1032 / GPE - and came included with the GPE Android 5.1 Firmware. It appears to be only a very minor upgrade, with no obvious changes. However custom recoveries often need redevelopment to support new Bootloaders.

You flash at your own risk, and if it creates problems with recoveries you are stuck until they can be fixed.

In summary; you should probably only flash a newer Bootloader if absolutely necessary, or face unwanted consequences.

Thanks for the heads up, I will not flash it unless necessary

Q- Do you think the non gpe variants will get an official update to 5.1 because then only it may be necessary in the future to upgrade the bootloader (like it was from 41.13 to 41.18 )

I expect all variants will get 5.1 (more probably 5.1.1) - the GPE 5.1 firmware is essentially what the Stock Motorola ROMs will be. Much of the work is already done.

It's a matter of opinion how necessary upgrading to v41.18 is. I run GPE 5.1 with the v41.13 Bootloader.

Maybe it will be necesary due to custom roms just like was been with the latest cyanogenmod and the Alberto's aosp.
The installer script refuses to be installed over the 41.13, and you need to upgrade it... or change the updater script :p
