So yeah, I've successfully converted my XT1032 to GPE and updated it to Lollipop. In fact I didn't have to spend a lot of time in Fastboot as a lot of those guides out there would have you do. Just flashed the 4.4.4 GPE and then once it loaded it asked if I wanted to upgrade. So I don't know about other XT1032 users but I thought it was fairly painless.
One thing of note if your planning to root, this is the method I did it. http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/. Now just so you know that list doesn't have the new Lollipop versions I used Google and to find the post with them. Just make sure you turn off, "Mount namespace separation". I found it was giving me some trouble. I also ended up installing SuperUser into /system and after that my root issue disappeared.
During the whole thing I had my SIM out (I have to pay for data, I'm with Koodo Mobile). Once it was done installing the updates (software and everything) I put it back in and the phone asked to reboot. Everything seems to be working and I turned data off so I wouldn't use it.
Anyone else with a XT1032, having any difficulties with this?
