Hi, I have a xt1032, UL and rooted, stock rom and kernel, Xposed with TWRP. The ota just hit my phone this afternoon and I have been trying in vain for hours to update it because I need the bug fixes badly. I am trying to find the OTA.zip file....either that or the stock recovery.img file. Thank you in advance!

i dont know is there a stock recovery img in the pack of last version but i think there is just read all install drivers then flash stock rec. and then update ota,if you deleted some system apps you will get error then u should flash system chunks only to fix it after that do ota till get 4.4.3 flash costum recovery root and that's it

I flashed the stock recovery and also uninstalled xposed framework..still got an error message and update failed. I didn't delete any system apps but has some frozen thru TB. now defrosted and trying again. I'm on the T-mobile network (I thought it was cdma but I guess it's GSM) should my kernel be the174.44.1.falcon_umts.AWSRetail.en.us? because I noticed it no longer has the 'AWS' part..if anyone could offer some insight on that
So you didnt sucsess to install ota ? Why dont you flash stock rom maybe you have some errors in system and then update.My version is like u wrote (it was before update) xt1034 quote me if u done with flashing and get ota search on forum stock rom images im on phone cant find link right now .

No, no success for me yet- there are links up now in other posts for the xt1034 my friend. I think at one point I flashed the wrong firmware by mistake, cuz I definitely have a xt1032 and the version should show 174.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US but this pic has the AWS version for the xt1034 that is not right for the xt1032
Dude you dont know wich version u have remove back cover and see on battery then install US retail rom im post link in last reply.pm if something goes wrong im not at home right now .

So here I am worrying about bricking my device if I go back to stock.
Here is some insight-
I have an unlocked XT1032 US retail moto g running Cyanogenmod 11 m4 snapshot. I am also running clockworkmod recovery and everything is working fine. I have heard of many people bricking their devices when they try and flash stock because the version doesnt match up with the bootloader version or something like that. My bootloader version is reported to be 4111.5 (The bootloader menu version is 41.11) from the "fastboot getvar all". So if I want to flash stock firmware what version do I need to choose. (can someone give me a link to the download?) Also is there any easier way to do this, perhaps can someone give me a clockworkmod backup of stock firmware and i can flash it via restore in the recovery. Also is there a way to get .img files of my whole phone via the dd command on the superuser shell. (Someone please give me a list of those commands to make a full image of my phone) so I can restore incase something goes wrong.
So pretty much all in all can someone please give me a link to the correct stock firmware for my phone that I can flash with NO issues and a list of commands that I can use to flash.
And just wondering what is mfastboot and how is it different from fastboot.
I should have made a backup with cwm recovery before I installed cm11 but I forgot which is why I made this thread. ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED! THANKS!
hey try downloading stock firmware from this link http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=14&file=786
then follow instruction from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
if you failed once don't panic... just try another firmware from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
just make sure you choose firmware which is for retail US and also choose right version of android... but first try the firmware i have mentioned above...

during flash gpt.bin it said preflash valadition failed and on the bootloader screen it said partition table downgraded. Used CWM backup to restore and my phone is functioning again but I am still not stock. Please tell me what I am doing wrong? I have attached a screenshot of the command prompt screen.
Q30: i encounter '(bootloader) Preflash validation failed' error message when flashing Firmware Image
You may have updated to Android 4.4.4 via firmware image or OTA update. In this case you now also have the latest version of the Bootloader. That is why you get the above output when attempting to flash a 4.4.2 firmware image. ==> simply flash 4.4.4 images instead.
If the error still occurs, even with a 4.4.4 firmware image, then unlocking bootloader will be necessary.

There is no 4.4.4 Retail US yet. You can flash 4.4.4 Retail EU just fine. Recovery flashable zip here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688​
I have the retail us version though. She. Will the retail us 4.4.4 be available? And one important question when I do go back to stock 4.4.4 with the link you gave me via recovery, will my custom recovery get overwritten with the stock one?
XT1032 is a Global GSM model. you can flash an XT1032 ROM from anywhere in the world and it will work.
It's currently unknown when 4.4.4 US Retail will be available, but I do not think it will take too much longer.
Those zip files only include ROM and Kernel. Recovery will not be changed.
I'll be trying that tomorrow and I'll let you know if it works or not asap. But for now thanks!
You might also need to flash the 4.4.4 EU Retail radio zip available here:

I read somewhere that when you flash stock ROM even though the recovery is not being changed, the stock ROM will overwrite the custom recovery in start up.
Is this true?

Please help my phone is stuck in CWM recovery during the flash and I think the recovery is frozen. Can I hard reboot back to recovery or is my phone totaled? :crying:
This worked for me - http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...-gpe-4-4-4-t2824377/post55768571#post55768571. Once back to 'base' you can update to 4.4.4 OTA or flash another ROM. And if you get stuck again, re-run this process. Three downloads, a few scripts to run; double-click easy.
Good luck.
Back at stock, just had to give CWM 10mins! Thanks everyone!
hi,
I have Lolipop 5.0 in my Moto G + root + TWRP. I received the 5.0.1 OTA but of course I can't apply the update because of TWRP. I read (here) that I need to come back to stock recovery to apply the update. I'll loose root access but that's ok, I'll root again later. My question is: how do I come back to stock recovery?
Thank you.
The same way you flash twrp.

can't find XT1032 Lollipop stock recovery on XDA, I guess I'll have to open a new thread to ask... I flashed 4.4.4 stock recovery (through MotoTool AIO software) but I haven't been able to flash 5.0.1 update then. So I think 5.0 stock recovery is required to update to 5.0.1.
Thanks for your help.
If by chance you have the link to XT1032 5.0 stock recovery, please post it!

I guess you're using custom rom so restore to STOCK ROM .
Follow this guide (at the end dont flash any custom recovery) Stock recovery XT1032
Automatically you'll get stock recovery

no, I'm using stock ROM, with TWRP + root, that's it. So I just need to stock recovery to apply OTA update.
But thanks for the link, I understand how to use it to come back to stock recovery. Except... that this guide is for XT1033. Do you think I can use recovery.img XT1033 image file to flash my XT1032?
Hello forum, basically, when I got my moto G, it was on 4.3, so I did all the bits, and the step i did after all the rooting unlocking etc was upgraded my bootloader to the lollipop one (ending in 8 i believe) - which i wish i didnt do, and cant downgrade to 4.4.4 (or can I without bricking)......right back to the story.......the problem now is, whenever i try uninstalling apps, or wiping data in any app etc, my phone does a reboot, I installed the brazillian 5.0.2 flashable rom (the optimised one) which worked perfectly, did all the correct wipes etc, but it reboots when uninstalling apps......, and thought i would try dirty unicorns....works well except the rebooting problem...... help....what can I do????????
I read somewhere that maybe to solve it, you gotta change runtime from dalvik to ART, but there is no option to change this....
There are no 5.0.2 uk images available that i have read (so i cant completely get back to complete factory settings)
I really wished i kept the KK bootloader!!!! so who can help me????? I want to try some of the great CM11 builds!!!
Since your bootloader is unlocked and you have the lollipop bootloader, I suggest flashing the stock 4.4.4 (not 4.4.2) ROM for your xt1032 (you will not be able to flash the motoboot file so don't bother trying), upgrade the Motorola apps via Play store, and take the 5.02 OTA update.
FInd your stock ROM here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=1

do i have to update to 5.0.2 again? as i want to try cm11 again
@audit13 is this a flashable zip, or do you need to do it via fastboot? as its got a bootloader included in the zip (4.4.4 kitkat bootloader)
The files from filefactory need to be unzipped and flashed via fastboot or mfastboot.
You do not need to do anything with the stock ROM if you want to install a custom ROM. All you need to do is install a compatible custom recovery and a custom ROM. I suggest flashing right to the latest CM12 rather than using CM11.
I suggested flashing back to the stock for your phone and upgrading to 5.02 via OTA to see if the uninstall problem goes away.
yep understood @audit13 read your other posts on this matter too, the reason I want to use a cm11 rom, is I had a moto g about 8-9 months ago, and there was a rom i loved, and it was cm11 based......will i brick if i do flash this cm11 rom? i know about flickering bug, and possible hard brick if i went back to versions below 4.4.4 ...... and i love cyanogenmod roms, as i dont get irritating moto updates etc
Flashing CM11 should not be a problem as CM11 ROMs do not touch the bootloader or modem.
so basically, downgrade to the 4.4.4 firmware file, and cm11 and im done? yeah?
You can try to flash cm11 directly over stock 5.02. If it doesn't work, you may have to flash back to stock 4.4.4, install recovery, and then flash cm11.
I have 210.12.40.falcon_umts.EURetail.en.EU ROM installed on my XT1032.
I also have TWRP recovery. I want to install Lollipop OTA so I have to get back to stock recovery.
I tried to flash recovery.img from https://mega.co.nz/#!HRpRTR4Q!GNPL3a1Syc8vwholky1wNNfX4rQ-24swytFM6cUVowM via fastboot but it's not working (red triangle). How to do that?
You need to flash back to stock 4.4.4 with no root and stock recovey, update Motorola Services app in the play store, then check for OTA updates..

Please read before answering.
I have stock 4.4.4 and I have OTA avaliable. But I can't install it with custom recovery.
My problem is only that I can't install stock recovery.
Did you unzip the file and try to flash the stock recovery using fastboot?
You did not mention whether your ROM was rooted, had any apps removed, etc,. and this is why I suggest re-flashing to make sure you have a completely stock ROM.
You have the EU retail ROM on your phone and the link is for the Retail GB. Not sure if both ROMs use the same recovery and partition layout.
I've just finished flashing stock recovery, this is the guide I used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/gpe-ota-lrx21z-5-0-1-xt1033-xt1032-t2969847
You're going to have to download mfastbootv2, Minimal ADB and Fastboot and the batch files, then mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img and I guess you're done.
Though I've did the whole tutorial, so I'm not sure if that one command is enough if you only want to flash recovery, but I think that's all you need.
Need 5.0.1 stock recovery to update to 5.1 ota

So, for last 2 hours I was trying to flash stock recovery. I tried to flash different ROMs, wiped data and system several times. Nothing seemed to work. After flashing recovery.img from any stock firmware package there always was red triangle and it didn't work. All custom recoveries works.
So since I've already had my data wiped, I just flashed Lollipop with fastboot and it works well. But still doesn't have stock recovery.
