Cant update Android..

I have a rooted Moto G phone. It is android 4.3 , I cant update it to 4.4.2 Kitkat for some reason.
I saved Kitkat to the SD Card, loaded into Recovery mode on the MOTO, then tried to install Android 4.4.2 from the .zip file
saved on the SD card in my phone.
I cant get this to work and i tried to install CARBON ROM the same way with out any results.. it says ERROR and fails to install.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ALSO does android need to be updated to 4.4.2 to install CARBON ROM?
Thanks

I don't know but maybe can help...
I could update successfully to last minor 176.44.1 update only after flashing stock recovery.img from my exact stock ROM.
after rooting process on KitKat motoG my recovery was modified, restoring the stock one worked for me. I just updated ota normally in WiFi without problems.
after that I flashed cwm recovery.

I restored to stock recovery and removed root. After that applied KitKat OTA, then flashed custom recovery and re-rooted.

this involve wiping of all data and a factory reset, so first try just restoring the stock recovery.
If not working make a good backup first.

If the phone is rooted, OTA updates do not work afaik...

Flashing a ROM overwrites system partition completely. You could have android version 1 running and still just flash another ROM

[Q] Can't update fro CM11 M5 to CM11 M5

I'm currently on cyanogenmod 11 M4 and a quarter into the process of flashing to M5 the flashing is aborted. Anyone know how to fix it?
I saw in the development thread of cyanogenmod 11 that I have to update the bootloader. Is this correct? Google has not been to not help and I only find out how I can unlock the bootloader, but not update it. I have tried to update to the newest CWM too. Same thing is happening too when I'm trying to flash to the newest nightly.
Please help me. Thank you!

Hi,
Yes, you need to update your bootloader to the latest (http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/this-week-in-cm-mar-21-2014), see in attachment for a flashable zip.
It would be great to have the exact error message in recovery but flash the bootloader and try again.

No Mobile Data on Moto G XT1033 using latest Nightly Build of CM11

Hello guys a complete noob here, have flashed the latest nightly build of cm-11-20140730-NIGHTLY-falcon on my Dual Sim Moto G retail Asia (India), everything seems to work fine except for Mobile Data connection, there seems to be no response while selecting the APN settings or turning mobile data, have read somewhere there was an issue, wish I had read it earlier.
So is there a work around for turning on mobile data on cm11 nightly builds for xt1033 on Indian networks ?
Or is flashing stock rom the only option left ?
Kindly guide me on getting my stock rom back and working.
Thanks in advance !

Try reflashing cm or any other rom....

Reflashed CM ROM thrice, doesnt seem to work, tried reflashing 4.4.2 stock rom, getting an install aborted (expected signature to be 4.3 error) on CMW recovery, my phone came with 4.3 out of the box, so do i have to flash 4.3 stock rom to get my phone back to normal or will 4.4.2 stock rom work ?
Thanks in advance !

You have to be complete stock, no root, stock recovery and kernel.
Unrooting and flashing the stock recovery and kernel will NOT work,
you will need to flash the 4.4.4 firmware first.

I did flash it to stock ROM but still it showed signature verification failed and some root error. BTW I still have cwm not the original recovery !!

well apparently you dont clearly read the guides,you cant install official updates with custom recovery, you need everything original stock and no root. read the guides first before posting

Get the recovery.img and run "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" from bootloader mode.
Do it at your own risk^^^

everything worked perfectly
I flashed recovery as u advised me then did everything which was suggested in the original thread the only problem was recovery stock recovery is pretty tricky thing to open I had to press volume up for 9 sec for 10th sec the power button at the same time and it worked
Thnx everyone I really appreciate it

What version of SuperSU did you flash? Anything but 2.62-3 usually results in stuck on unlock bootloader warning.

unfortunately i do a tutorial of another site , in brazilian , and they didn't say that. I flashed a 2.46 version.
there are any solution for that or i have to use custom roms forever ?
(Also i didn't say but my moto G is the xt1543 version , brazil retail)

If you don't want to try 2.62-3, then you can stay with custom ROMs, but 2.62-3 is what you need to do. Many other threads in this forum indicate the same.

If you want stock ROM, flash the latest firmware for your phone from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639, using carefuly the steps from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750 (you will loose data, backup all you need in TitaniumBackup, for example).
Then flash the TWRP recovery and flash the SuperSU version 2.62-3 for MM stock ROM.
Reconfigure and restore everything.
You will not brick the phone if you use the latest firmware and do a factory reset before flashing.
Good luck.

Onde last question , i receive the ota of mototolla for Android mm and another one after , if i flash the stock 6.0 , i dont hard brick my phone ?( witch i AM realy afraid to do)

Anyone ? :/
