[REPACK][UNLOCKED BL] Android 4.4.2 For Moto G(All variants)

Hello, i ported 4.4 OTA to all variants and now i'm going to post here the link and some things.
First of all, there is a little bug when enter to Settings/Security, but i'm going to fix it now, this is for impatients.
Features: All 4.4.2 OTA ported.
Fully RADIO support(No modem blobs changes)
Direct from Motorola OTA.
Download link: http://d-h.st/aHg
Installation:
FLASH CWM
WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
FLASH ROM
FLASH SU(Can be downloaded from koush website)
WIPE DALVIK.
ENJOY!
THANKS: Antiquezip for his OTA package
I'll add screenshots and more things to the post later, but now, enjoy all KK features!

So seeing as those of us who installed the original OTA can't flash a custom recovery, would we be able to downgrade back to 4.3 then flash CWM and then flash this zip? Will this also work with the US GSM AWS version is basically what I'm asking? I know you were working on getting this to the Global GSM version.

@josalaito you should credit antiquezip.

Not sure about downgrading. Mixed results have been posted.

Well. I know it says in the title "All variants". Guess I could just flash and find out. Downgrading was no problem. I gave it a shot just to make sure and it worked without a hitch. Was then able to re-flash the original OTA no problem.

Do we really need to wipe data if we come from stock 4.3 to 4.4.2?

Brazilian Moto G Colors Edition (Dual Chip) XT1033. I'll post my feedback soon as possible.

Wi-Fi isn't working for me at the moment.
Sent a logcat already. Fingers crossed.

Flashing it right now. In the process of setting it up.
Edit: Working good for now. Confirmed WiFi does not work. And "Settings" does FC when you attempt to enter "Security", but that was stated in the OP. Root is working. I flashed SuperSU after flashing the ROM and Xposed works perfectly. Please be aware that I am using a US GSM version. So if anyone coming here is looking for confirmation on this working for a Global GSM or other device outside of the US, I cannot confirm that.

OK, keymaster is added by motorola to firmware folder and i don't added to the rom, so this is the cause of the bugs.

Just flashed rom + super su. Looking forward to keymaster zip

Here you have the workaround.
Flash without wipes, and should fix the problems.

The rom is suitable for 8gb and 16 gb both?
What about dual sim models?

Someone are already installed on a dual sim Moto G? I'm curious if both SIMs works or not.

[DEVS][OTA] Original M7UL 4.4.3 OTA update zip

The original update OTA can be obtained here: WWE_4.07.1700.4-3.62.1700.1_KTU84L.H4_release_377648
This cannot be flashed unless your device meets all requirements. Wait for a ROM otherwise.

Trust me, the first thing I do is google.. been there, done that! Yeah sadly deleted and I'm still stuck at 4.4.2, so many must have made a CWM backup before updating to 4.4.3, yet so hard to get that file :/

What if you manually edit updater-script to not patch Youtube?

I could do that, but then I'll have the same issue on next OTA! I'd rather have a 100% clean update, if you know what I mean!

Could you make a ROM GPE with Sense camera ?

Mine fails as well - on basicDreams.apk. It doesn't look like it can be applied to every device, e.g. when integrating apps into the ROM using Titanium Backup it will most likely fail. Will be taken care of by the ROM devs though.

Can we flash this OTA.zip from stock recovery after we returned back to Google Edition ?

HAAANG ON!! hang on......
this....is a 4.xx.xxxx.x update
previous was 3.62.xxxx.x
....I may assume that is like a....major release or something...?
I expect a good improvement, even in performance (that on sense roms is always 2 times better, dunno why)

Can we flash this?

Stick to your sense ROM then because performance hasn't changed much between 4.4.2 and 4.4.3

Don't think so, it's an OTA file that needs to be installed by the stock recovery, not a custom recovery.

About to RUU back to 4.4.2 with stock recovery.
What do I do afterwards. I have the file in the OP downloaded. Do I just place it in root storage and look for a update than root afterwards.

All I had to do was RUU to 4.4.0 because that's the one I had handy, let the phone OTA to 4.4.2, and when it booted all I had to do was hit the "check for update" button 2-3 times and then it prompted me to download the OTA and voila, 4.4.3

You would have to put the OTA at the right location and name it exactly what the recovery expects and I don't know how to do that.
Thing is with stock recovery, there are no options, it either updates or resets to factory default.

can someone make a flashable zip of the rom? Wouldn't really want to go thru all the trouble of converting back to stock recovery and rom to update since im on a custom rom now? A flashable zip would mean a lot!

Just wait a day or two.

I haven't really noticed a performance increase or decrease tbh after flashing the new firmware. It says "5.11.401.10" because I edited the android-info.txt file. But the date is 5/16/2014, to confirm that it is the newer v1.54 hboot. How would I go about making a deodex system dump into a flashable rom.zip? I have the system dump if someone can help me with the procedure.

Nexus 5 with "TeamWin" failed update - and won't start again

Hello everyone.
Two hours ago I received the notification about the Android 5.0 update. I downloaded it and hit "Install". Then, "TeamWin" started, but not the update. I rebooted into System and tried to update again - but it tells me that 4.4.4 is the latest version I can get now. I'm on Build KTU84P now.
1) Do I need to remove TeamWin? If yes, with what?
2) How can I start the update again? I'm on a super slow connection and it would hurt to download the 500 MB again…
Thank you!

You need to remove TeamWin, and load up your stock recovery. I don't have the exact instructions for this unfortunately.
The OTA update will come back to your phone soon, usually. Did for me within the hour.
The issue I am having now, back with stock recovery, is during the install I am getting a dead Android error icon, and can't continue. Looking for any help I can, and hopefully it will help you too.

Gosh, this used to be so easy all the time.

if you are using twrp, why the heck are you trying to install the ota? why not download(from xda) and flash a recovery flashable stock or aosp build, and make life much easier for yourself? heck, i dirty flashed from 444 to 5.0 via an aosp flashable zip without any issues, and kept all my data.

it wont flash over a rooted rom anymore as of lollipop. you can flash the factory img via fastboot though, in your bootloader.

Trying to remove the root right now via SuperSU. I am hopeful it will work better afterwards.
Edit: SuperSU unrooted it, rebooted, did OTA again, error again. Is there no way to find out what this error is?

[OTA] Official Marshmallow build MCG24.251-5

WARNING: THIS HAS BRICKED PHONES! It is suspected that having an encrypted phone causes these bricks, but that has not been confirmed. If your data partition is encrypted, it is extra important that you perform a factory reset before taking this OTA. Doing this will remove the encryption.
WARNING: INSTALLING THIS ON A LOCKED BOOTLOADER WILL ELIMINATE ALL CHANCE OF YOU EVER UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER.
If your bootloader is unlocked, it will not be re-locked after this update.
Do NOT flash this using TWRP. If you want to do that, use this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mcg24-251-5-100-stock-t3512949
So if you're a bad enough dude to flash this anyway, follow these instructions:
1. Backup all data on your phone. It will be lost.
2. If your bootloader is locked, make sure you are on SU4TL-49. If you aren't, take all available OTAs until you are.
3. If your bootloader is unlocked and you have TWRP installed, flash SU4TL-49 using this package: https://mega.nz/#!3xRhiaSR!KxH2Ya_BYK4zBjrxmej7dqaaDJVT1coTFJVJ5Fvb2WM
4. If you have TWRP installed on your phone, download the stock SU4TL-49 recovery here: https://mega.nz/#!L1AkQD4T!qoZIlLa-wuUBLMEi_gE574meiHd6Pehb34a-x3Gb-V8 and install it using the install image option in the install menu in TWRP. Reboot to recovery.
3. Perform a factory reset using the stock recovery menu. This will wipe all data and ensure that everything is formatted exactly as it should be.
4. Boot the phone normally and place the marshmallow update on the root of the directory that pops up when you plug in your phone.
5. Boot to recovery and at the stock recovery menu, select "apply update from sdcard."
6. Select the update and cross your fingers.
Get the update here: https://mega.nz/#!v0pRwThS!Pz9xuOSPjiOMtjlORkFrZ_ok0GTKqCfGzi5KmbDpHQ8

I'm positive. I seem to remember they did the same thing with SU4TL-49. The OTA was named after SU4TL-44 for some reason.

This used to always be Motorola's naming scheme. New updates were named after the firmware version they replaced.

Sweet. I am going to wait till it is more stable. I do have a bad esn Turbo but I will need to unlock to bootloader to test.

Strange. Try reflashing SU4TL-49. If my TWRP package doesn't do it for you, use the full firmware package and do it manually with fastboot.

Installed successfully on two devices.
...
kitcostantino, did you refresh system, kernel, modem and recovery by SU4TL-49? Are you sure you didn't mess with Turbo Maxx ROMs in the past? Foreign bootloader can cause even brick, not just error. See bootloader status at fastboot mode should be " locked, status 0"

lol. lawd, No. Ive been rocking status 3 for over a year.
As a tip, if anyone else with an unlocked bootloader runs into this,
what i had to do was restore my su-44 unmodified backup, OTA to SU-49, and then, after confirming my
q/e status was 0/1 i was able to update via the file in my Mega download folder. all is well now. they even added the newer version of command center. sweet. thank you all!!

Um, I couldn't tell you.i be been unlocked since the day Sunshine could unlocked our bootloader's. What I can tell you is you should absolutely unlock that via Sunshine before you even dream of applying this update. There will never be another opportunity.
Just my

The security patch included is (most likely) the July one, since Samsung also just released a new software update to international models which includes the July security patch and Verizon has been updating the "Galaxy S" series phones with the July update over the past few weeks.

Updato is one way; this shows the list for the Verizon S5 with the most recent at the top; they haven't gotten the new update up yet though.
I think that another way would be for someone to dig through the update.zip file which would be on the phone of someone who got the OTA update downloaded but had not yet installed it yet.

To confirm, the only thing that's different between the dev-friendly version (when it comes out) and the stock is the missing aboot? Thanks again.

Is this flashable with Odin only or possibly need to already be on a specific kernal? I have tried on two S5900V's through TWRP and both result in a failure message. Both are on jkruse de-bloated MM rom at the moment.

Since no one wanted to chime in and help me out in my post, you need to unzip the file and load the md5 into Odin's AP slot and flash it. Then let the phone do its thing and flash the latest TWRP with odin after. Then go back into TWRP and flash supersu to gain root again. Trying to flash right within TWRP is not an option, not sure why its not explained.

So this update wont "factory reset" my device?

Did you loose root?
I dirty flashed and lost root, was unable to get it back.
Reloaded TWRP via Odin and then flashed SuperSU, nothing. Wiped and restore backup all good. ..

I always flash super su and whatever else I need in recovery after I've flashed the rom so I cant give you a definitive answer. Both phones did upgrade without data loss and now advanced calling/wifi calling actually work now which is why I flashed in the first place.

Working?
Is this working? Ive tried everything and i have the Toshiba chip. Emmc 11. It soft bricks if i try to downgraded to stock builds.

If you flash the dev boot loader friendly version it wont screw with your bootloader whatsoever. Before you restart go back in TWRP and flash supersu to get root again. Saying it "unlocked boot loader" may cause confusion to people because it does not, you need to manually go from locked to DEV status via a few of the methods posted in here.

Ive not had twrp or root on this device but it went from saying vzw official binary to samsung original. Will i be able to root as long as twrp flashes?
