Hello.
I uploaded 4.4.2 US Retail and automatically updated to 4.4.3. Now I want to do a root through custom recovery. After root, I would like to go back stock recovery for the possibility of future updates. Do you know where to get the 4.4.3 stock recovery? Or will work just as well as those extracted from 4.4.2?
Thanks!

- I'm using the XT1034 and I had PhilZ running on 4.4.3, I was able to flash the stock recovery.img from 4.4.2 and had no problem.

Hello everyone I am using an XT1032 which is the Moto G that isn't the google play edition and I was wondering if it was safe to flash to the 4.4.4 custom ROM's such as AOSB?
I've read the guide on how to unbrick and currently I've being trying ROM's and then restoring my ClockWorkMod backup of stock, obviously this stock ROM is 4.4.2 so if I was to upgrade to a 4.4.4 ROM for the XT1032 could I go restore that stock ROM afterwards and get away without bricking? I know there is a fix but I would really like to avoid going through all of that...
Thank you in advance

You should be able to upgrade to 4.4.4 ROM and then restore to anything as long as your boot loader is unlocked.
yes, it is safe
unlock bootloader and convert to gpe 442, receive the ota, having no root and stock gpe 442 recovery just to be super sure
and done
but after having 444, you wont be able to have stock 442 , at least not in an easy way

I have try many way to do that but fail,stay on gpe 444
okay
Okay, I don't mean the official GPE ROM I mean what if I install lets say, Carbon 4.4.4, can I restore my stock backup after?
I installed the latest cm11 nightly (4.4.4) and I could restore my stock 4.4.2 backup with no problems.
The downgrade brick is caused by some partition table changes in the stock OTA I think. Custom roms don't change partition tables so it is fine.
I may be wrong about the cause though, feel free to correct me but I could restore without any problems.
I have Moto G XT1033 which was rooted using Modaco's PaulOBrien method. Now i need update it from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 with OTA. I have received update notification but when i try to install it gives Error.
What should i do ? How can i update to 4.4.4 without formatting the data.

If you've flashed a custom kernel its the most likely reason for the problem in my experience, but also I think CWM and TWRP don't handle the OTAs well (Philz recovery does). So you need to be on Philz or stock recovery (which will mean re-rooting afterwards if you go stock) and stock kernel for your region.

No i didn't flash anything. Just bootloader unlocked and rooted with this method - http://www.modaco.com/topic/366771-root-your-moto-g-option-1-superboot
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?
Hi, i have a xt1033 asian retail, i converted it to brasilian 4.4.4 and then i flashed soak 5.0 brasilian, how can i go back to stock 4.4.4, and wait normally for the OTA? My bootloader is unlocked, can i flash any 5.0 rom when i install a custom recovery and root? The thing i would like to know, am i stucked now on this brasilian 5.0 soak or not? Because i would like to change the rom in the future.
If i wait for factory stock image 5.0.2 will i be able just to flash it via fastboot, and have then again a full stock rom? I am confused :/
anybody?
Hi,
I have two Moto G 2013 XT1033 Dual Sim and for both of them - i dont care about losing data and reinstalling - I want to get to a 100% STOCK 5.0.2 state. Dont need root or customer boot.
No 1) Upgraded from 5.0.1 Soak Test Brazil - 220.21.25.falcon_umtsds.Brasil.en.BR, no root, stock bootloader > to 5.0.2 using the incremental ZIP that was provided in some of the recent posts here.
Will I be getting automatic OTAs from now on? Is this equivalent to stock flashing 4.4.4. an then OTAing up to 5.0.2?
No 2) Optimized non-stock firmware 4.4.4, with bloatware reduced etc. dont remember who made the ROM - also Retail, but bootloader unlocked and have root
What is the best approach to this one to a stock 5.0.2, no-root, locked bootloader, is there just a single binary stock 5.0.2 file that I can flash?
Should I downgrade both to 4.4.4 Stock and then upgrade via OTA?
I know for (1) there exists an incremental update, how safe is this?
For (2) the OTA arrived, but as its an optimized ROM the update does not work.
I know all the information is somewhere here, I just was confused what path is safe and if its not possible to simply flash some binary recovery (ideally already to 5.0.2)
I think you should back to 4.4.4 than upgrade to 5.0.2
For back to stock 4.4.4 you can use this

One of my malware protection tools rejected the untouched brazil 4.4.4 download. Where do I find the original files and confirmed hashes?
