Do Not proceed if you don't know how to get your phone back to reliance via flashing PRL and DATA. Following below process may loose network connectivity on Moto G use it on your own RISK !! Hi, Motorola just released soak test for our Moto G XT1031 [boost], I am using this from almost a week now and found working perfectly fine. Now for us (reliance/TATA) users OTA is always an issue on MotoG, it wipes PRL and DATA. But this time one of AndoridForum user SuperR made zip which don;t update Modem/Baseband and bootloader. So you can enjoy lollipop on you 4.4.4 radio and bootloader. If you want to update radio/baseband to 5.0.2 you need to flash PRL and DATA again. To use this zip following are requirements. 1- Moto G should be bootloader unlocked 2- Custom recovery should be installed - I prefer TWRP 2.7.1.1 3- OTG pen drive of minimum 1GB. [or ADB skills to push files to phone] Both of above can be done using THIS post. And HERE is TWRP 2.7which I use. Before doing this, will suggest you to take full backup of your phone . 1- Contacts - Already on google server. 2- SMS - Use Go SMS or with equivalent tools (CM Backup also works fine) 3- if you want to same applications already installed, use APK backup or EX Explorer to copy all APK. 4- Photos & Other files - just copy to your PC using MTP mode of moto g So now you are ready to update your phone. Download below files 5.0.2 ROM - HERE SuperSU zip - HERE If you are into Xposed firmware get latest from XDA post - HERE Now after your backup, boot phone to recovery [TWRP] 1- Copy all zip to your OTG pen drive. 2- Wipe all partitions including DATA 3- Wipe DATA partition 2nd time for safer side. 4- then reboot your phone to TWRP with OTG connected. 5- From TWRP install option, and select FALCON_220.42.18.ZIP 6- installation will take about 2min. 7- then dont reboot the phone. 8- go back to main menu in TWRP. 9- again select SuperSU.zip 10- this time select wipe dalvik option 11- and reboot your phone . This reboot will take 5-10 minutes. dont panic. After booting it will go for HandsFree activation, wait another 5min and it will give option for NEXT. if you reached till this step then you have installed lollipop on you moto g. now if you want to use xposed firmware to mod you system. boot to recovery and flash Xposed install zip from XDA post. after installing xposed zip you need to select wipe dalvik option other wise phone will show out of space error. you can skip Xposed step if you like normal version of moto G. (i am heavy user of xposed so mention extra steps for others) now reboot your phone to system. after reboot you will again get HandsFree activation. wait for 5min and click next. now let android Setup Wizard run. Add your google accounts and other details. you will be on lollipop home screen. (which looks almost same as kitkat home screen ) now time to get rid of Handsfree activation and get back tether options. to do so follow these threads. HFA Tether While removing HandsFree activation, you will not find sprintOMADM2.APK in Priv-App folder there is SprintOMADM2 folder in Priv-app, inside this folder you will get SprintOMAD2.apk, rename this apk and you are done. Tether works as shown in above thread. Now as we are using kitkat radio/baseband & Bootloader, one small issue occurs. you will find small flicking on phone. this will go aways ones you turn your screen OFF and ON. to get rid of this issue, we need to update radio and bootloader to lollipop 5.0.2 version. But after updating radio and bootloader to lollipop, you need to load PRL and DATA again. So select what you want and enjoy lollipop on moto G. !! now you can either download all your apps from playstore or install it from your backup. restore your data & SMS as per your liking and you are good to go. I am on 5,0,2 with kitkat radio and bootloader. My phone is working fine with this combo. here is the proof.

Hi Guys , I am hell bent on making this cdma device work on reliance cdma sim. This is also same device called lucid 2 (vs870) but without crappy verizon firmware and its 4g lte divce on 700 mhz band. When cdma sim is inserted it detects the sim but does not connect to the network. When put in nv mode and prl enable with reliance prl uploaded to the device it will connect to 1x and evdo rev.A. This is not meid registered device so cannot activate directly on reliance therefore my only option is omh sim. So far have tried 3 sim old esn based sim, in this iccid was correctly showing but shows unknown in other sim. the recruc 06 cut to micro and recruc 05 micro sim. all relaince sim . have not tried any other carrier sim card as I dont have access to it. Note: In telephony manager viewer it shows sim operater as 311440 (its bluegrass cellular device) always but in old esn based sim it shows as 40510 (reliance Karnataka) I think that device does not read prl from ruim or cannot read neither does it read prl from nv when it is in RUIM mode. In RUIM mode prl version is shown 40000 or unknown. I did not find anything in qxdm which indicate where to read prl from ruim or nv. In qxdm log view it get disconnects from network as "not preferred exit" so again it points to prl and also to the question if it does not read prl from nv or ruim then what prl it is using ? Since this 4g phone I wonder does it require 4g sim or Usim initially. Those airtel guys were to not ready give 4g demo sim to test. otherwise I could have test how usim is read from phone whether anything works or not. Things I have tried. 1. Making it nv mode and installing reliance prl. yes does connect to reliance network 2. patch to enable gsm from XDA 3. Enable gsm and lte bands with qxdm and qpst again from XDA 4.Vs870 firmware in place of original as870 firmware same thing it cannot connect to network in ruim. 5. tried gsm sim after enabing bands and also applying patch. nothing work on this too. 6. Tried editing build.prop hundreds of times for various reasons. changing operators name in build allows to dial *228 in nv mode otherwise it will give msg that sim card has config our service blah blah. Things yet to try 1. USIM or 4g sim 2. tata or mts cdma sim 3. other series of reliance sim. Accidentally and Surprisingly got idea to dial 911 in ruim mode. it does connects to reliance network and says check the number you have dialed . It remains emergency mode for 5 mins and I can receive calls. Cant dial anything because it will come out of emergency mode and will not connect to network in normal mode. This too points out that some other prl is being used. I request any expert in this field to help me crack this who knows we might end up cracking many devices once you find out what stopping it from reading ruim prl or nv prl. In the end I got collection of all cdma sofwares I will keep adding points as I research and experiment more and more. If got it worked I will put up solution so that everyone can use cheap 2600 rupees cdma phone which has got all the features. Heartily Thanks for this wonderful forum and experts who give time to us to solve our problems. Sunny
