Crucial Warning: Never cross-flash between 3G (falcon: XT1028-XT1034) and 4G LTE (peregrine: XT1039-XT1045) packages. Doing so writes mismatched radio and partition structures, leading to corrupted modem partitions or hard bricks. Always verify your device's exact XT model number and carrier/CID branch tag (e.g., RETEU, RETGB, RETBR, RETUS, VZW, USC, AMX, TEF) on the fastboot bootloader screen before flashing.

Flashing Overview for Motorola Moto G 1st Gen (falcon / peregrine)
- Determine your hardware platform (3G falcon vs 4G LTE peregrine) and exact XT model
- Confirm the carrier/CID branch code (e.g., RETEU, RETGB, RETUS, VZW, AMX) from the bootloader screen
- Back up all personal files, as full CFC.xml flashing formats userdata
- Install Motorola USB Drivers and extract the mfastboot tool on Windows
- Flash the extracted package using Motorola mfastboot, not standard SDK fastboot
- Verify cellular baseband, IMEI, and Wi-Fi functionality after the first boot
Expand preparation checklist for Motorola Moto G 1st Gen (falcon / peregrine)
- Identify the exact XT model number and CID branch from Settings > About Phone or the fastboot bootloader screen.
- Verify whether your device is 3G (falcon: XT1028/XT1031/XT1032/XT1033/XT1034) or 4G LTE (peregrine: XT1039/XT1040/XT1042/XT1045).
- Back up all personal data, as flashing a full CFC.xml service package wipes internal storage and userdata.
- Install Motorola USB Drivers and the Motorola mfastboot binary on a Windows PC.
- Charge the non-removable battery to at least 50% to prevent interruption during radio and system flashing.
Compatibility & Bootloader Notes
Flashing official stock firmware restores system, kernel (boot), modem/radio, and recovery partitions to factory state; it does not relock or unlock the bootloader automatically. Re-locking requires explicit fastboot oem lock commands. Devices in this family use Qualcomm 32-bit partition structures distributed in CFC.xml mfastboot archives. Because standard Android SDK fastboot cannot handle large chunked sparse images or OEM getvar parameters correctly on these older bootloaders, Motorola's mfastboot binary or a sequential partition flash is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reboot the phone into bootloader mode by holding Volume Down + Power. The top line shows either "Product/Variant: falcon" (3G models: XT1028, XT1031, XT1032, XT1033, XT1034) or "Product/Variant: peregrine" (4G LTE models with a microSD slot: XT1039, XT1040, XT1042, XT1045). Never attempt to flash a falcon file onto a peregrine unit or vice versa.
No. The XT1033 hardware uses dual-SIM baseband modem files and a distinct partition layout. Flashing an XT1032 package disables the second SIM slot or causes baseband radio crashes. Always match the XT1033-DS packages for dual-SIM units.
Motorola CFC.xml packages contain chunked system sparse files (system.img_sparsechunk.0 through .3) and OEM partition commands (such as motoboot and partition gpt.bin) that standard Android SDK platform-tools fastboot does not parse properly on older bootloaders. Use the Motorola mfastboot binary or execute the specific fastboot flash commands line by line.
Checksums are included only for packages that were individually downloaded and verified with a 32-character hexadecimal hash. Files without a listed hash should be validated after download by confirming the archive extracts without CRC decompression errors.
Official Motorola manufacturer support concluded on Android 5.1 Lollipop for the majority of falcon and peregrine variants, though select retail branches received Android 5.0.2 or stopped at 4.4.4 KitKat. Any newer Android versions require third-party custom ROMs.
