Hi all,
I have a Moto G Stylus 5G. I acquired it as part of a Lot. Since it’s in great condition I decided to make use of it. One of the first things it did was upgrade from Android 13 to 14. Well, some of my essential apps can’t run on 14 so how can I undo the upgrade? I just want to roll back to 13, or alternatively, install the stock 13 via recovery etc.
This would really be of immense use to me. Thanks.
I’d recommend you consider if you actually need to re-lock the boot loader. It’s a great way to turn a device into a brick. There are a few apps that don’t work with an unlocked boot loader but most will be fine. My bank for example is really annoying and complains. There is a risk that if you try to lock the boot loader after a downgrade your device may simply not start anymore and you’ll lose access to be able to flash or unlock the boot loader again.
It’s not supposed to get stuck like that, but I’m telling you from personal experience that not all vendors are great about handling this situation. Most people never attempt to install third-party firmware, and you’re not really supposed to be able to downgrade.
Good luck!
