Hi ! I tried to update to 4.4.4 when my phone asked me to, but the process failed and my phone was stuck in a booting loop. I managed to delete the file causing the error, but now I don't know how to update to 4.4.4 without having the same error. I understand that because I rooted my phone I must follow a special process, but I don't know exactly what to do. Should I un-root my phone to make the update ?
Thanks for the help !

If you made some modification to the 4.4.2 rom you'll have to restore the stock before upgrading to 4.4.4.
Bootloader can be unlocked, Recovery can be custom but any mod/root to the room will cause the error.
To restore to stock follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Thanks a lot, it worked!
By the way is the part where you erase you data mandatory ? In case I have to do this again.
Erase cache and erase userdata delete your stuff so if you want to keep it just do the procedure without those 2 lines and you are good to go (that's what I did and it worked flawlessly I restored without losing any data) :beer:

4.4.2 > 4.4.4. just rolled out in UK (o2 moto g).
right after i get my phone rooted and started setting it up...
Thanks for this thread.. what's the minimum we have to restore, basically the system partition so it's unrooted?
If we have stock 4.4.2 (rooted) can we flash JUST these 3 files?
system.img_sparsechunk1
system.img_sparsechunk2
system.img_sparsechunk3
and skip the rest? I want to save redo-ing as much as possible..
I got the 4.4.4 OTA today (210.12.40.en.GB) and I have unlocked bootloader + Philz recovery - Philz worked fine for the 4.4.2 OTA update, but when I downloaded the 4.4.4 OTA and rebooted Philz would abort with "a status 7" mismatch error and then the phone would boot to Android, then 20 seconds later shutdown and reboot to Philz again, continuously. After some playing, I did the following:
1. Flashed stock recovery (taken from Mototool AIO's 4.4.2 stock.img) from fastboot - re-downloaded the 4.4.4 OTA but that failed with "Error!"
2. Flashed stock kernel (I was running faux123) - same issue, 4.4.4 OTA failed still.
3. Flashed latest Philz recovery again (philz_touch_6.50.6-falcon.zip) then
4. Flashed stock 4.4.2 GB kernel (to match my OTA version) - kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649763 - success... OTA downloaded and this time installed.
SO, conclusion is you don't need stock recovery to flash OTA, BUT you do need the correct kernel for your update and having a custom kernel causes the mismatch error.
Hope this helps someone!
So the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91.zip in MotoG-Tools.zip still works to root 4.4.4 right?
i found it here
http://www.swedroid.se/forum/showthread.php?t=106595
and this is what i used for 4.4.2
Most of the old guides around no longer worked in 4.4.2, i dunno if they closed any other holes in 4.4.4?
edit: version typo sorry
just for informations, I updated succesfully from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4. Kitkat 176.44.1falcon-retail en.GB with ClockWordMod recovery v6.0.4.7
Everything worked without problems, CWM alerted me about not verified files, and gave me the option to install updates anyway.
I only have to refix the bootloader unlocked warning

JayZeus,
How did you manage to delete the file? I'm assuming it's the update.zip file? At this point, I just want to use the phone and not worry about updating to 4.4.4 at this time. Thanks.

you just updated with the OTA update (as normal)?
is it possible to do an OTA update with a rooted phone, just delete cache, keep userdata? or you have to go through all the hassle with restoring stock?
more important, is it possible to tell phone not to check for updates? if this bootloop happens with every OTA update in future, then this is not a good idea (to mod/root phone) as a user may do this and break their phone at any time. the phone is prompting regularly to apply the update.
edit: i'm guessing freezing using Titanium, MotorolaOTA 1.0 might stop update notificiations, anyone confirm if this works and is safe?

Still can't do OTA update with rooted phone and CWM installed. For now, I'm just postponing the OTA each time it pops up. When I get the time, I'll put back stock recovery and try again.
Has anyone been able to OTA update to 4.4.4 with CWM (v6.0.4.6) installed?

RusherDude said:
If I am on 4.4 stock rooted, with a custom recovery, and stuff modified on /system.. what I do when the update to 4.1.1 comes?
If I don't do nothing, the update will download automatically (which I don't want at all...), then try to patch and fail (I guess it won't even start since it detects that it's not stock system and recovery to flash the update) and it may even loop downloading and failing by what I readed being a bug on some 4.3 roms on the Nexus 4?
So how I should act in the following situations? First make a nandroid then..
a) I wanna flash it asap: I get the ota zip asap its posted and flash it on CWM and hope it goes ok. I may **** up stuff and have to revert to the nandroid, or 1it can go ok and just lose root and the system changes, right?
b) I wanna stay on 4.4 until all the stuff is ported to 4.1.1: It will at some point download the ota (****) by itself and spam me continuously to install it, right? If I wanna stay on 4.4 until all the stuff I use its compatible with 4.1.1, what I got to do to evade the auto-downloading of the ota and the spam about the update?
I don't know.. any way to stop the auto-update from working or so? That would be great!
Thanks in advance.

Here is what I just did, and it worked perfectly.
1. Take note of all the mods you installed so you can install them afterwards.
2. Put phone in bootloader mode / fastboot
3. Grab the 4.4 stock image from Google. Extract system.img file from it and flash that through fastboot (without the -w command) (fastboot flash system system.img). Don't worry you won't lose anything if you omit -w. Apps and data are preserved, it just set the \system area back to stock
4. Copy the OTA udpate zip to your phone, flash with TWRP. Since everything is 'back to stock' it should flash fine.
I had to re-root with TWRP after flashing before I rebooted. Everything was good to go. Then reflash your mods.

Ok, that covers the a) situation where I want to flash it asap, thanks! (also note everyone, you got to disable xposed and all mods before flashing the ota)
PS: You can just flash the stock kernel and undo all the system changes, no need to flash the entire 4.4 stock zip.
What about the b) situation?

Just download the full rooted stock ROM in android development and flash it without wipe from recovery.
It's actually fewer steps anyway.
OTA = revert system changes and/or kernel, reboot into recovery, flash the OTA , boot to bootloader, connect to pc, fastboot flash recovery, reboot into recovery, flash supersu.
Rooted stock = reboot into recovery, flash the ROM.
No brainer really. Flashing an OTA if rooted is a fool's errand.

Download and flash vomer's stock rooted 4.4.4 rom via a custom recovery. That's all you need to do.
I am rooted on locked bootloader. My tablet just downloaded the 5.0.1 update. Has anyone flashed this yet and kept root? Not sure where the download is stored on the file system in case of sideloading or flashing from CWM. Thanks.
Hi. Inside the update ZIP there are some hash checks of the system partition, so what is needed is rebuilding ota update ZIP, which I can't do atm.
didn't work for me
Im 5.0 rooted with unlocked bootloader, using CWM.
After downloading, it restarted to cwm and installation failed. Didn't take a picture or write down the details; making a second attempt now, will report back. Did not lose root during install attempt.
Mine is failing because CWM seems to be telling it I'm still on Android 4.4.2.

Ok. Here is what I did on my locked bootloader shield:
1. Download the full 5.0.1 US LTE zip and SuperSU 2.40.
2. Entered CWM, flashed 5.0.1, then SuperSU, wipe cache partition, and reboot. Done.
Nothing to it. Only thing now, how do I remove the OTA notice I keep getting to update? It seems that the incremental update had downloaded and now it keeps prompting me to flash even though I manually updated with the full version. Anyone know how to get around this? Thanks.
EDIT: I used the command 'pm disable com.nvidia.ota' and so far seems to have fixed it.

Hello everyone, I have a Moto G (2013) aka first generation Moto G & I live in India. I had unlocked my bootloader. I even flashed cwm touch via fastboot but it doesn't go to recovery mode at all. I get a black screen. I tried flashing the official TWRP 2.8.4.0 today, but I get a message that reads, "Partition size mismatch" & I'm stuck. The phone is usable & it boots up normally & I use it daily. But it is the recovery that is messed up. I tried updating to lollipop by ota but the device got stuck on a black screen once the ota was downloaded. I tried downloading the KitKat factory image, but the link is dead. Please, somebody help!! Thanks in advance!
Sent from my XT1033 using xda premium
The partition size mismatch error can be ignored, You get that error because the TWRP 2.8.4.0 is for the XT1032 and not the XT1033. To flash the OTA, you have to use the stock recovery only. Your system should not be modified (eg. It shouldn't be rooted, and if it had been rooted previously, you will have to unroot it.) To flash the stock recovery again, download the Asian XT1033 4.4.4 firmware and just flash the "recovery.img" from it. The flash the OTA. The numerous guides regarding this in the general section should help you.
I have a similar question.
I have unlocked bootloader & rooted moto g.
I received official OTA update today but its not installing. Do I need to lock bootloader or do something else to install the official OTA update?
Facing a similar issue. Updated the moto g and was successful. It was used for a couple of days before the error cropped up.
Now, it boots up but goes to a black screen after the boot animation. However, it still connects to the computer and I'm able to see the phone and its files in explorer. Beyond that, I can't interact with the phone because the screen is totally black.
Additionally, I can access the bootloader, but selecting 'factory' or 'recovery' isn't doing anything - just black screens everywhere.
The phone was perfectly fine for a few days after the update. (The phone is unrooted and unmodded and was running stock at lolipop update.)
Another thread suggests that I should
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
Is that a viable course of action? Has anybody been able to recover from this issue?

No need to lock. Unroot, reflash stock signed recovery and you should be good to go. Also undo any modifications you made to the filesystem and wiping /cache should help prevent errors.

Try fastboot erase cache, it shouldn't delete any of your data and it might be enough to get the device working again. You might want to wipe the dalvik-cache as well. If all else fails, since you can access you filesystem, backup all important files and do a factory reset.

1. No it should not. If you had root before you will still have it. Search in the forum for more info.
2. Yes but you can easily uninstall xposed with the click of a button.
3. This is by far the easiest and safest method. I know of one alternative is to flash the ota update zip through custom recovery but you are on your own there.

4. Install the update either manually via recovery or using auto install.
Am i on right path? Pls help me on step 3, any link or step-t-step guide? I couldn't find one, every post is abt restoring whole firmware.

Hi folks, so, I received OTA update for my Moto G (XT1032).
Phone was rooted (I did unroot from SuperSU). Also, I've re-installed Stock recovery (to make sure) and wiped cache/dalvik.
But, update still fails.
I don't have much root-related soft (like Xposed etc) installed - so pretty sure this should not cause an issue.
But still, update fails.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot/make it work? Maybe installing OTA somehow from recovery (custom one, TWRP)?
Any comments - much appreciated. I guess I'm not alone in this, but still...
Thanks

This error pops up - I can't find solution also...

Install the recovery with fastboot not adb.

Well, I might misunderstood, but:
I have official recovery (fastboot is mode of it, I guess, when U press Power+volume key?)
I've read about adb sideload zip_name_of_OTA.zip
I don't know any other way to install OTA apart from let phone handle it OR adb sideload.

Just load it onto your phone before you flash it. Your ROM does work.

Load ZIP of OTA on SD Card and install it from Recovery? Will it work?

It may work if it is the stock recovery.

Got this, screenshot in attachment.
Fingerprints are wrong. In build.prop - I can see it's fine, fingerprint of current 4.4.4. - matches expected.
But as soon as update starts - it says that 4.4.2 is fingerprint of my OS. Bollocks.
Edited OTA zip, edited some metadata file...
Why it won't install on pretty clean phone - I can't understand...Previous installs of OTA went fine with root etc.

Well the only thing I would recommend would be to install the stock system though fastboot manualy.

Hi folks, so, I received OTA update for my Moto G (XT1032).
Phone was rooted (I did unroot from SuperSU). Also, I've re-installed Stock recovery (to make sure) and wiped cache/dalvik.
But, update still fails.
I don't have much root-related soft (like Xposed etc) installed - so pretty sure this should not cause an issue.
But still, update fails.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot/make it work? Maybe installing OTA somehow from recovery (custom one, TWRP)?
Any comments - much appreciated. I guess I'm not alone in this, but still...
Thanks

i feel ya same thing here, than i tryed installing a stock lollipop from here via twrp witch ended up messing my phone with failing the procedure wondered around couldnt revert to stock since im a noob and didnt even backed up the rom,but at the and of the day thank god for the cm12.1 finally menaged to make my phone running again at least
Greetings, I have the same problem, it is the last screen that appears when you install the update, and then restarts it goes off the screen update error ...
To anyone having issues:
1. Make sure you're on completely stock 4.4.4 (Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688 and use only untouched 4.4.4 version for your phone if you have to reflash before continuing)
2. Make sure you're on stock recovery (Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649763)
*Uninstall XPOSED if using it
3. I personally let update run on its own after reverting everything to stock.

Yeah, that's the better way.
But I guess, I can install Stock 5.* straight away after wiping? Why bother about OTA, if there is ROM available?

Yep.
The solution is backup data, restore stock last firmware using fastboot guide posted in this forum and not even update apps (cancel gmail registration and everything it asks when it first starts) ONLY update motorola update services so you can get the ota again an install it. If you have the ota downloaded you can flash it through recovery but using the last recovery version (.61) and of course last firmware version. If you guys flash it all through fastboot, it should install w/o any problems.
