Nope, you need to flash stock rom and custom recovery through fastboot. It can be done in one step. Do you know how to do that?
Here´s how:

If you want to flash rom and recovery in one step, just rename downloaded custom recovery to recovery.img and replace the stock one.

Well, do you remember installing a custom recovery?
If you can't remember that far back then boot into bootloader and choose recovery option and see if it boots into a custom recovery.
BTW the OTA will fail if you are rooted even if you have stock recovery.
Thanks!

I have a Boost Mobile Moto G running stock 4.4.2 rooted with CWM recovery. I would like to know how to upgrade it to 4.4.4 with root but I am not sure what to flash next or to make a nandroid backup. Should I install stock recovery and install the update or flash some zip for recovery.

Yes you should install stock recovery first and then ota update
Try an alternative rom?

If you want to remain with stock ROM, make a nandroid backup, flash stock recovery and do an update. Re-root and re-flash CWM after if you wish.
Alternatively, try an alternative ROM like CM11, Omni, PA etc. You can use CWM recovery to simply flash your new rom (after full wipe). Don't forget to take a nandroid backup AND a data backup of contacts, all app-data, sms/mms, bookmarks etc with apps like Titanium, MyBackup or Carbon/Helium.
This is what you can do
Step 1: download the update on your stock 4.4.2 rom.
Step 2: plug your phone into your computer and reboot to fastboot mode 3: pretend your flashing stock firmware (no u won't loose any data or have to reset)
Step 4: flash everything in order BUT*** exclude mfastboot erase userdata and mfastboot erase cache.
Step 5: after u exclude those 2 commands reboot your phone using mfastboot reboot
Step 6 your phone will reboot however any tweaks, modifications, and anything involving root will be disabled temporarily since u basically reverted back to stock without fully factory reseting.
Step 7: Go to settings and install your update (itll take about 10-15) minutes
Step 8: once its done go back to fastboot mode reflash your recovery and your root and reboot and your good to go ull be on 4.4.4 rooted and stock recovery
Side Note : Making a 4.4.2 back up is useless because after u upgrade you can't downgrade
Im on 4.4.4 XT1031 Boostmobile
Custom Recovery (TWRP) and rooted
Sent from my XT1031 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No M10 snapshot yet
I also might install CM11 but there is no M10 snapshot, so thats why i'm on stock until the latest M snapshot is released for it.
hey i recently was using the motoTool to flash a new custom recovery on my XT1034 and i accidentally converted my phone to Google play edition.
now its stuck on bootlogo and im not to sure how to continue to get it booting. no custom recoveries can mount anything for some reason either.
any help would be really appreciated, thanks!

thank you so much, i had no idea i could flash the firmware through fastboot. i got it working now :good:
I'm basically planning to flash Autoprime's stock rom..
Ideally flash the stock recovery with Flashify..
Then use the unroot on Supersu & call it stock enough..
Any troubles with that anybody could think of ?
Looking for a link to a flashable stock recovery..

do I need to install the stock recovery?

Yup install the stock everything and after the first boot you can flash custom recovery
If you made a backup in twrp before you flashed lineage, just restore.
I believe there is a stock zip somewhere on here that you can flash like any other zip, thus keeping custom recovery. - just do a complete wipe first.
