First of all nobody was talking to u and u placed ya two since in ain't got time to play with my warp 4g too busy getting that paper

You quoted me 2 posts in a row. Who are you talking to then? You know what whatever can't believe I got baited into this idiotic conversation. Get your paper there. Though I'd recommend a new way of getting it. If youre still using a warp 4g which was a cheap phone when it came out 2 years ago obviously not banking that much paper. I'm out.

Well I couldn't use CM 12.1 because it wouldn't let me tap the next button to setup my google account.

edit: I flashed 5.1 again and now the home button doesn't work, wtf. If I hold it it'll bring up the google search but a tap won't take me to the home screen.

edit2: Nevermind I'm an idiot, I don't think I had anything in the field so next wouldn't work. Had the same issue on 5.1. Also reflashed 5.1 and now the home button works.

edit3: Nevermind. I updated some apps, rebooted and now the home button won't work again.

edit4: Now I locked and unlocked the screen and the home button works again.

For the cm issue it did that to me a few times before if I remember if I just restarted it and hit skip and added my Google info later it worked. The other issue sounds like a bad download a dirty flash or a kernel issue. I had the home button problem when I used the attack kernel sometimes which sucked because besides that I liked the kernel.

Anybody know if there is a version of the 5.1 soak test that works with the stock recovery and that I can flash on a phone that is running the 5.0.1 soak test without loosing what's on the phone?

Thanks!

That would only work with an official firmware update. But, you should be able to flash the 5.1 soak ROM over 5.0.2 stock and not lose your data.

Here is a treat...Boost Moto G 1st Gen Lollipop 5.1 Soak Test

falcon_boost_51_soak_debloated.zip - pre-rooted

falcon_51_partition_updater.zip

I have not tested the partition updater because I took the update so my partitions are already updated. I do not know if this rom will work without updating the partitions so please try and let us know. I must say, this update is VERY nice

As I'm on a stock locked bootloader/recovery, I was hoping that the Part 1 Soak (unmodified) will install cleanly to the 5.0.2 Soak I have (Stock installed from 4.4.4 stock). I would try it, but the thread doesn't appear to contain a link to the unmodified 5.1 Part 1 (only part 2).

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance (as since I'm on stock 5.0.2 with a locked bootloader on an xt1031, I can't seem to go down, up, or sideways, there seems to be nothing I can do).

Part 1 is old, use part 2. It's the 2nd 5.1 soak test.

Link does not work...

sangalaviral · Oct 12, 2015

Link works perfectly. It is the redirect which seems to be broken on this forum.

Ah thanks, copy and pasting the text in your post did the trick...

Stupid question, but why is the MEGA file the same name as the 5.0.2 soak test?

Just tried flashing, but it looks like it can only be flash from either 4.4.4 or 5.1, anybody know how to flash the latest update from 5.0.2 soak test?

You can't until SuperR makes a rom with it. The updater script looks for either 4.4.4 firmware or the second 5.1 soak test firmware or it will fail to install. You'll have to install SuperR's 5.1-2 unmodified ROM and the stock recovery to update.

sangalaviral · Oct 13, 2015

Updater script is from 4.4.4 .
Zip is named by moto as per the version from which the device will get upgraded. Hence it matches Soak file name.

f2racer · Oct 13, 2015

You guys think that Motorola and Boost will come up with an OTA that will upgrade from the 5.0.2 soak test?

I doubt it, they're expecting testers who installed 5.0.2 to be on 5.1.

I would do that, but the zip isn't signed and won't work with a locked bootloader, and moto no longer unlocks the boost moto g bootloader.

Member1660584 · Oct 13, 2015

Really, since when, I unlocked one not long ago no problem. If that is the case, I would try to get ahold of the 5.1-2 soak test zip. Or your stuck on 5.0.2.

Well look at that, suddenly it works again. Lots of people (not just me) have not been able to unlock Boost Moto Gs in the past few weeks to month.

This update won't flash over the 51-2 soak test. I get a build fingerprint error in recovery. So don't waste you time flashing the 51-2 rom to install it. I'm gonna try flashing the 4.4.4 unmodified rom and see what happens. There must be plans for a different update or no update at all for testers I guess.
Can someone who installed this update pull unmodified system, boot, radio, and stock recovery?

The Boost Moto G is absolutely unlockable. I've unlocked 4 of them myself.

Go to Motorola's forum and get the bootloader unlock zip. Follow the instructions to unlock your bootloader. (Only works on 4.4.4)
