Si alguien se entera cuando salga la version oficial de lollipop para el moto g avisarme por favor
First, this is an English forum, you should at least include the English translation (XDA rule).
I don't think someone will let you know when Lollipop is out, just enter 5 min a week this forum and you'll see if it's ready, or subscribe to some RSS feed.

Don't you try to carry your Moto G to repair service?
Like they gonna replace a device that has been bootloader unlocked, rooted & flashed with a Brazillian Rom....

I'm not gonna pay shipping costs, when i know 99% this is "userdamage" and not covered by warranty.

Maybe not to Motorola authorized service and just to casual phone repair shop with hairy guys who have JTAG programmer, if you have places like this in your coutry. I guess they may help for reasonable price but I not sure.

Same thing happened to me today though I never upgraded to lollipop. I went from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 gpe and then used recovery to patch to 4.4.4 and after rebooting the phone didn't turn on. Strange thing is I did this before but I upgraded through wifi instead of the zip file.

I don't know, same hardware, same bulky design., same dust in edges.... No, the first Moto G was truly good device for the money. But anno 2014 there are better alternatives like this Huawei G620s. Qualcomm 410, Adreno 306 GPU, SDcard, 4G, 5" IPS LED. All things second gen Moto G don't have.

The only downside about that Huawei is there is no way to root the device. But afterall, when i rooted my Moto G, i lost warranty etc... and eventually hardbricked my device. So i think it's better to stop this rooting mambo jambo.

So thank you Motorola to push me to another brand & cellphone. (not my fault bootloader is not compatible)
Well you see rooting is not all that bad....I see people complain a lot when they brick their devices. But you yourself responsible for this. I will sound wrong to you but...... Well XDA is about getting most from your device. It was basically developed for developers by developers. But developers make Roms for us common people who think our self top tech guys. Well people are are new in XDA they are so charmed by the development that they want to try everything and anything. This is what makes difference between some people here.... Old people know read read and read. Understand what you go on a do. Well you put your or somebody hard earned money in phone so better be known about everything while digging and crapping your phone. Well stop cursing rooting. It is you who is responsible. Though moto g is sufficient as daily drover if you don't root it. But mark my words you will root next phone you don't know what non google vendors put into their Roms. You tasted aosp you go on a miss it....well good luck....

Guys I was just wondering, waiting for this factory image, (i know we dont know when exactly) but is it a matter of weeks (like a month maximum) or we dont know ANYTHING. Because i was looking for existing factory images of moto devices and i only found for the droid maxx and the moto x (1st and 2nd gen) with kitkat.

Guys, I was just thinking .. I may have found a solution.
Since the moto g 2013 and the moto g 2014 are very very similar in terms of hardware, they may have the same bootloader. So we could use the fix for hard bricked moto g 2014 in our 2013 moto g, following this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...rick-hard-bricked-moto-g-2nd-gen-5-0-t2966010
Can anyone test it and share results please ?
I don't know why that guy says it should work for 5.0 bootloader but it's EXACTLY the same blankflash.zip as here.
