Hi,

My Moto G xt1064 is currently on Lollipop, I need help to Downgrade Android 4.4.4 Stock OS.

Is it Possible to do it ? Since i have read somewhere that Lollipop has different partition than Kitkat, so Downgrade would not work.

Can somebody help me with the steps.

How can you re-lock the boot loader after downgrade?
I don't mean factory lock (never unlocked) but locked again.
My moto g asks for a signed image if I try to relock, but I don't have anything signed for lollipop

it's pointless to relock your moto if you ask me.

it's impossible to reset the lock fuse to 0, all a re-lock does is change the lock status from 3 (unlocked) to 2 (re-locked). your warranty will still be voided.. hence, pointless to re-lock.

It may be pointless to you but it may not be pointless to others(like me). I don't care about warranty on a device that cheap like the moto g.

BUT:
If you are using corporate security level apps like Good for Enterprise, you wanna make sure your boot loader is (re)locked, otherwise these apps will refuse to work.

Anyone with constructive advise?
