Unrooting moto g will definitely not give warranity back. Everyone who have unlocked bootloader have lost warranity for good. But the ones who live in EU will have some warranity thanks to EU law 🙂
so admiring your EU country
Please don’t. Apart from this law EU sucks 😀
I French, and yes I’m a bastard
not help for me 🙁 pls is moto g dual sim for india ? pls help
and warning bootloader unlocked message stuck now help me pls
for me it wasnt sparsechunk.0,.1,and.2 it was just sparsechunk 1,2,and 3 but it worked fine i just entered 1,2,and 3 instead of .0,.1,and.2
what would happen if i didnt erase userdata
Can I do this on locked bootloader. I’ve never unlocked the bootloader. I think my system partition is corrupt & factory reset isn’t fixing the issue.
Hello Sandeep,
The procedure works fine on unlocked bootloader, not sure whether it works for locked bootloader or not.
You can give it a shot if it works for you!
Flashing worked fine but didn’t solve issue with the mic.
Hello Sandeep,
The procedure above is for getting your device back to stock firmware. It doesn’t solve any hardware-related issues, such as mic issues.
Thanks!
Does It Even Lock The Bootloader ?
It doesn’t.
It does in the EU i think
I mean it does not actually but motorola cant blame you for mistakes
Can i install all android upgrades now?
Which Firmware should I download??
I have a BSNL Sim with android version 4.4.4
Your device seems to be the International variant. So download the one that’s for the International variant and you should be good to go.
Thanks!
