'Morning, 'afternoon and 'night.
I saw some XT1033 (some XT1032 too) users having problems with the latest unified roms (falcon ones) and decided to help them. I already did a guide like this in a brazilian Android forum, so, I'm only translating it. Hope it can be helpful to XDA.
-- First, thanks to ffosilva. Without his "semi-official" firmware, this guide couldn't exist.
| PRE-REQUISITES
- You need to have bootloader unlocked.
- Google Play Edition rom - Google Drive
- Google Play Edition rom - MediaFire
- mfastboot
- Minimal ADB & Fastboot
- Motorola Device Manager (Drivers)
1 - Alright. First of all, install Minimal ADB & Fastboot in C:\, to keep things easy. After, extract Google Play Edition.tgz inside its folder with mfastboot.
2 - Turn off your Moto G and put it on Bootloader mode by pressing power + vol. down for a few seconds.
3 - Plug it in PC and verify if it is connected.
4 - Open cmd.exe and do this command: cd C:\Minimal ADB & Fastboot or the folder you've installed it.
5 - After, copy these commands and paste them. On the third one, cmd will crash, just wait your Moto G reboot and close the warning.
| If you live in USA, do these last commands instead:
| And after checking if all the commands returned an OKAY, do
| To flash any custom recovery, download CWM or TWRP (thanks to Dhacker29!), put it inside of Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder, launch cmd.exe doing "cd" in folder and do:
| After, just flash SuperSU from recovery to get root. (thanks chainfire!)
| THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE. INCLUDING INTERNAL STORAGE.
| THIS WILL ALLOW XT1033 TO INSTALL falcon ROMS WITH ONLY ONE SIM WORKING
| NOW YOUR DEVICE HAS EXT4 STORAGE, SOME TWEAKS WON'T WORK
| AND SORRY FOR ANY GRAMMAR ERRORS
-------------------
REVERSE GUIDE
| Use this guide if you failed with first one or want to go back to stock rom.
| Install Minimal ADB & Fastboot again in another folder to avoid conflicts and download here (thanks to droid-developers) your respective stock rom. Extract it inside the folder.
| After, just re-do steps 2, 3 and 4 from above.
| Step 5 you'll run with these commands below. On the third one, cmd will crash, just wait your Moto G reboot and close the warning.
| I'm not sure if system partitions are the same for ALL roms at sbf.droid-developers. Some will have sparsechunk.1, 2 and 3. Verify that before running the commands!
