sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.079s]
writing 'partition'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

Hi! I was trying to downgrade from cm12 so I could install the stock. I've managed to make it work though a critical error has showed: the device randomly displays a blue (sometimes green or red) image (it takes all the screen) and then it reboots itself. On doing that it "forgets" all Wi-Fi connections. Nonetheless, it's far more stable and less frequent on the stock Brazilian ota than on cm12

Cheers and if you can help I'll be grateful

Hi, your problem is very normal. A phone is very similar to the human body. After a severe trauma to the head, it'll start seeing colors (the blue green red screen) and then blacks out (when it turns off).
Then, when it wakes up (reboots), it will have memory loss (forgetting Wi-Fi connections) due to the brain injury.
To fix it, your going to have to take it to a neurosurgeon.

    I finally managed to install Brazil Lollippop 5.0 OTA on XT1033. I mentioned the detailed process below, following it correctly will get you lollipop on your device.

    Note: To install this OTA on your XT1033 you should have your Bootloader unlocked. I don't hold any responsibility if you brick your device.
    Downgrading is causing some serious Issues. Be careful
    thanks @deeplyyoung for screenshots

    You Can read this article on my blog too : http://www.mightygeekstuff.com/install-android-5-0-lollipop-ota-zip-moto-g-2013-xt1033/

    Steps to Restore Brazil Retail 4.4.4 Firmware:
    NOTE: Flashing this Retail 4.4.4 Firmware will will all the userdata, so backup important files before doing this.

    1) Reboot the phone into bootloader mode. There are 2 ways to do this.
    a) The 'hardware' way.
    a) Unplug the USB cable and power off the phone.
    b) Press and hold 'Volume down' then power on the phone.
    c) Connect USB cable to your computer.    ​
    b) The 'software' way.
    a) Enable developer mode on the Moto G (Settings-> 'About Phone'. Tap 7 times on 'Build Number')
    b) Enable USB debugging. (Settings -> 'Developer options' -> 'USB Debugging' -> check)
    c) Connect phone to computer via USB, you should see a new ADB device detected and drivers installed.
    d) Open "Minimal ADB and Fastboot".
    Type:
    Code: 
    [SIZE=4]adb reboot-bootloader[/SIZE]
    You should see the Moto G bootloader screen with the following options:
    Code:
    Code: 
    Normal 
Powerup 
Recovery 
Factory 
Barcodes 
BP Tools

    2) Now place & extract the Brazillian Retail File & mFastbootv2.zip in a same folder. Now rightclick anywhere inside the folder while holding Left Shift & select 'Open Command Window Here'. This will take you to the command prompt.

    3) Now execute each & every command mentioned below one by one in the same order
    Code:
    Code: 
    mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin 
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img 
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin 
mfastboot flash boot boot.img 
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img 
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0 
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1 
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2 
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin 
mfastboot erase modemst1  
mfastboot erase modemst2  
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn 
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata 
 mfastboot reboot

    4) After executing the steps mentioned above, you should now be rebooted into a fully stock Moto G Brazillian firmware.

    5) Now connect your phone to the computer & copy the Lollipop OTA zip file in the root of your internal SD card.

    Steps to Flash Lollipop OTA onto XT1033:

    1) Turn off you phone & boot it into bootloader mode by holding ' Volumed Down + Power ' for 3 seconds.

    Code: 
    Normal Powerup 
Recovery

    3) Now you'll come up with the following screen. Don't hesitate its common.Just carefully press ' Volume Up + Power ' for 3 seconds & release the buttons which will reveal new options on the screen.

    4) Now select the option apply update from SD card & select the OTA file which you've copied earlier

    5) Now the update starts, wait for a while it will take 15 minutes to update & Voila you finally managed to get lollipop on your device.

    When official version of 5.0 will b available for your respective countries... Wait for full firmware image on Motorola website... N then flash it...

    And as u all have now Brazilian 5.0...even if a new ota of fixes and patches get release for Brazil devices...xda forum has enough generous members to catch the ota file and u can flash it over your existing Brazilian 5.0 fw....

    actually you can go back to 4.4.4. using MFastboot v2, instead of the regular fastboot and skipping 2 flashing steps (gpt and motoboot)

    you will experience screen flickering for a brief period, but its solved by simply locking the screen then unlocking it after a minute or so

    Trust me, I did it, it worked for me. So if you want to go back, you can but only to 4.4.4 firmware. Havent tried the GPE version but it should work just the same way!

    ok so got lollipop in my moto g xt1033 everything is perfect and beautiful
    1. No bugs till now
    2. Battery is pretty stable ( good stand by time )
    3. 99% lag free ( even though it was b4 itself in 4.4.4 )

    but the question is what happens to all these ppl ( including me ) when the official version comes out for their respective countries.. now since we cant revert back to 4.4.4 am sure when the official firmware gets released we should be able to flash it over the Brazill 5.0?

    and another question is by any means if i stick to this OTA as my daily driver ( forever ) will i get any further updates from motorola over the air? am assuming its a NO but still am curious to know :)

    thanks in advance.. thanks for sharing works great
