Verizon announced yesterday they have released the OTA update for 4.4.4 for the Verizon Moto G, 210.12.41.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US. I was wondering if anyone has captured the update yet as mine still says Software is up to date. Even tried the Framework Trick with no luck.

No luck here...there is post over on Android Forums that Verizon users are getting the 4.4.4 OTA update but nobody has posted the captured zip file yet.
Captured Verizon CDMA Moto G 4.4.4 Update Zip
Here's a link to download the new Verizon Moto G 4.4.4 CDMA version of Blur_Version.173.44.20.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US.zip

or
http://www.mediafire.com/download/3q7paotltq951id/Blur_Version.173.44.20.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US.zip
I have not installed it yet as I'm running a Boost Mobile Moto G flashed to Verizon Wireless running on Page Plus that's rooted. I'm waiting to see if someone has completed the update without problems before I try.
If someone attempts the update for a Page Plus flashed Moto G let me know how it goes.

That 173.44.20.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US is the 4.4.2 Kit Kat currently installed on the G's. I am looking for the newer one. 210.12.41.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US which is the 4.4.4 update.

I have a Page Plus flashed Moto G, it's only a backup phone, so I guess I'll be the guinea pig today. I'll let you know if it catches on fire, burns down the neighborhood, kills small fluffy animals, etc.

I am also on cdma Moto G (stock/no root) flashed to Page Plus...I downloaded the captured update zip and put in root of SD but is not detected when I check for system update in settings, still says "software is up to date". Any suggestions?

It was pulled from the /cache folder. If you put in /storage/sdcard0 you may also need to rename to update.zip

Yes please do. My wife's phone is wanting to update since Sunday night.
Seems to work just fine on Page Plus after the update, root works, and nothing has caught on fire yet. Edit: Tested data and calling, both seem to work fine.
Steps to update (this assumes your bootloader is already unlocked and you have cwm recovery installed):
Save the update zip and the cwm flashable supersu zip to your phone.
Boot into cwm recovery and do a backup (assuming you have space on /media/data for a backup.)
Reboot to bootloader.
Restore *just* your system partition to stock with fastboot (using: CFC-fastboot_falcon_verizon_user_4.4.2_KXB20.9-1.10-1.20_22_release-keys.xml.zip)
Boot into cwm again, apply the update zip, then immediately apply the supersu zip.
Boot up normally and let it do its update stuff, then go into titanium backup and kill off any of the verizon bloatware that you don't want.
If you want to get rid of the ugly "WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED IT WILL KILL YOUR FAMILY" boot logo, flash the logo.bin (fastboot flash logo logo.bin) in the attached zip file. It is just a simple hex edit of the logo address in the file header. I've included the original as logo.bin.bak so you can verify it against the original, and compare the two files if you want to see how it's done.

I think you can select "apply update from sdcard" in the recovery mode. No?
EDIT: You flashed to PagePlus. I missed that part. Sorry about that.
I was on a AOSP based rom.
So I flashed back to stock via CFC-fastboot_falcon_verizon_user_4.4.2_KXB20.9-1.10-1.20_22_release-keys.xml.
Booted up once to make sure the the flash went well.
Flashed CWM via bootloader. Tried TWRP first, did not work with the update.zip.
Renamed the zip above to update.zip and flashed via cwm. Worked fine. (yes the zip is 4.4.4)
Before rebooting, went ahead and flashed supersu.zip.
Then rebooted back to bootloader and flashed my preferred recovery, TWRP.
All seems well. This is on PagePlus.
Bout time we get 4.4.4. I'm also using Boost Moto G to Verizon/Page Plus. I will update when I have free time. Thanks for the info, guys.

It sounds like the 4.4.4 update is working fine...the only issue is that there doesn't seem to be a full stock 4.4.4 flash available (like we have for 4.4.2), and from what I can tell from posts (haven't tried this myself), you cannot reflash the full stock 4.4.2 after the 4.4.4 update since the bootloader and/or partitions have changed. There may be some workarounds, but those seem to be for other models or geographies as best I can tell. Once we have the full 4.4.4 flash, then at least you can always revert to that, but it doesn't appear to be released yet.
I've been keeping an eye out for the update OTA. I guess I'd rather just go down that path officially since my phones not rooted and had stock locked bootloader. Just wish it would hurry up and be pushed to my device.

Ota file works it is 4.4.4 update for Verizon Mota G. Download zip to phone power off. Hold down power and volume down for a few seconds release. Once at menu go to recovery. Once in recovery android with exclamation with no options will appear. Press and hold Volume up for 10 seconds continue to hold while now also pressing power button for 3 seconds release. Your in recovery mode select update from zip and proceed. Happy camping with new dialer update camera shots in low lightness and other fixes and features!

Thanks for the instruction. Questions:
(1) My flashed page plus moto-g is on rooted stock rom (with unlocked bootloader of course). Do I still need to restore the system partition back to stock?
(2) What is "CFC-fastboot"? Do you mean
fastboot falcon_verizon_user_4.4.2_KXB20.9-1.10-1.20_22_release-keys.xml.zip
(i.e. no underscore between fastboot and falcon) ?
Thanks!
it's available on OTA now yay

Hey Guys, bought my phone in Australia at retail. It's running 4.3 JB. I've already unlocked the bootloader and installed a recovery. Now I want to run KitKat. I checked and there's no OTA, it says I'm already up to date. I don't care about the dual sim at all as I only have one sim (it's actually quite annoying having two icons in the statusbar).
Can I just go and install any Moto G KitKat ROM onto the phone and it will work? Is it better to have the official OTA so that it updates the radios before installing a custom KitKat ROM? Do the radios matter? Will I brick my XT1033 if I install a ROM for XT1031, XT1032 etc. ?
Just asking before I kill the phone.
Thanks guys
Single SIM ROMs are not compatible with dual chip XT1033.
From what I have read there is only 2 options:
1. unlock the phone and load en.GB 4.3 ROM and wait for the 4.4 kitkat update on it
2. CM11 by dhacker29 - Read first post about the details about how to flash to XT1033 where you need to flash a modem as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608377
Whatever you do, make sure you do a backup of the stock ROM as I don't see Australian ROM in the stock images thread yet. So if you need to go back you can safely restore. To Restore from CM11 you need to flash the old modem as well that is in the same thread.
There are no cases of bricking so far that I am aware of. Also you could try fastboot flashing* the en.GB 4.4.2 firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49861244&postcount=101
*mfastboot may be required.
EDIT: You should be aware that flashing the GB firmware also includes the GB Modem/Radio firmware. If you notice data/wifi/coverage issues after flashing, this may be the reason. There is currently on AU firmware image you can restore with.
Excluding the following commands should allow you to retain the AU Modem/Radio firmware:
flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
erase modemst1
erase modemst2
flash fsg fsg.mbn

I downloaded and uncompressed android 4.3 firmware - Blur_Version.14.71.8.falcon_umts.Retail.en.GB from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
then ran the "flash-all.bat" script. Rebooted and then did the OTA update. A single (primary) sim works no issues, and my model number now says XT1032 instead of XT1033.
I'm sure you'd get the same result by just flashing straight Android 4.4.2 for Great Britain - Blur_Version.174.44.9.falcon_umts.Retail.en.GB
I only need one sim anyway, so it works well for me. then I make lots of modifications with Xposed.

So far I only have one SIM card working with only one set of icons at the top and it has successfully connected to Vodafone AU (YES!)
Wifi network detected [OK]
OK everything is running! WiFi is working, phone is now running 4.4.2 KitKat! Just called myself and it worked!
THANKS GUYS
I will follow up later on. First thing I'll try is recovery, root, xposed framework and see if I can change the battery icon to show percentage (this wasn't possible on the JB ROM but I suspected because of the dual sim and likely a different SystemUI.apk
I had trouble rooting but then just used this flashable zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585755 and it got there.
I installed Xposed and everything worked as expected, using gravity box I changed the battery to one with a percentage and reduced the navigation bars to 70% (gives more screen real estate). Using the Google Experience Launcher, Google Keyboard and enabling ART has made this device a bit closer to my Nexus 4 which the screen broke on, so I'm very happy with this device.
Now I just need to work out how to get rid of the carrier name in the status bar (VODAFONE AU takes up a lot of room :silly

I think you should be waiting for general thread for moto G dual sim, and also they will create another rom for it.

How do you find the Play Edition compared to the Motorola version of KitKat? Pretty much the same thing just without the Motorola apps, settings, sounds and wallpaper?
I'm really happy with the Motorola software but wouldn't mind putting the Play edition on if it's much better

Its not that much different.
The main issues i have with moto edition is that there is no internet calling in dialer (This is for VOIP accounts - Moto removed it from the Moto G for some reason and most 3rd party apps suck compared to native VOIP calling)
Minor issues (Nothing that can't be fixed with root)
- hidious career label in status bar (in en.GB 4.2.2)
- ugly dual SIM 2 signal bars wasting space on the status bar + 3G/H+ icon
- No useless Motorola apps that I don't need
Whats better in Moto ROM
- Camera App (GPE has no HDR)
- FM Radio (not in GPE)
- Faster file system (but this is barely noticable, GPE feels the same speed for me)
Is it ok to update to kitkat from 4.3? Ive only just tried it and says update available
I bought a Nexus 5 (refurbished) from Freedom Pop. I can't remember what version is came with, maybe 4.4.4. First thing I did with it was install CWM (6.0.4.7) and flash the Google Nexus 5 factory image (5.1.1 / LMY48B) and root the device. Now that LMY48I is out, I got a OTA notification about a system update. When I try to do the OTA update, it fails. So I downloaded the update zip to take LMY48B->LMY48I from http://www.droid-life.com/2015/08/10/download-nexus-4-5-6-7-9-10-ota-stagefright-patches/ . I boot into CWM and install zip, but it fails with:
Package expects build fingerprint of google/hammerhead/hammerhead:5.1.1/LMY48B/1863243:user/release-keys; this device has google/hammerhead/hammerhead:4.4.2/KOT49H/937116 Instllation aborted.
When I go to Settings, System, it shows I have LMY48B. Why does the install think I have KOT49H? When I flashed the factory image it did it not update some file somewhere and if so, how can I get that file to accurately report what I'm running?
Thanks,

You must return to stock before you attempt to install that zip. That means you cannot be rooted or have custom recovery in place
I've got a stock N5 I bought from Google on LMY48B and there's still no update for me.
Does anyone know what the roll-out timeline is for the LMY48I?
When should I conclude that I'm not going to get it OTA and resign myself to factory wipe and flashing the image?
I have a stock Nexus 5, rooted w/ cf-auto-root, re-locked , no custom recovery or bootloaders, and all i see is Error when trying to install this OTA. I'm stuck at the moment myself. Installing the OTA should just unroot my phone, but it won't install. Currently running on 5.1.1 (LMY48B) myself.

This possibility makes me spend a lot of time, becouse i have lcd_density changed and all apps when i restore a backup are not in the main screen.

This method is for anyone with lmy48b that's rooted or has a radio, kernel or recovery custom flashed.
Condensed version but here's the important pieces. You will lose root if you are unrooted. You will not lose any data or settings if done this way.
Step 1. Download lmy48b from google
Step 2. Unzip lmy48b package
Step 3. Copy bootloader, radio and system.img from lmy48b package (unzip zipped file for bootloader and system.img)
Step 4. Connect phone and boot into bootloader
Step 5. Type in fastboot flash recovery [recovery].img replace [recovery] with the actual file name
Step 6. Type in fastboot flash radio [radio].img
Step 7. Type in fastboot flash system [system].img
Step 8. Reboot
Step 9. Update via OTA
Working - confirmed

Thanks, confirmed that this method worked. Managed to update my rooted nexus 5 to LMY48I
Tried to install ota update after reverting to stock recovery using Simple Recovery Switcher app. However, also the error message, with little Android picture also appears. Please help
I assume this removed your root, though.
It seems we are getting a new factory image en september to properly solve the stagefright bug
"A second patch has been sent out. "We’ve already sent the fix to our partners to protect users, and Nexus 4/5/6/7/9/10 and Nexus Player will get the OTA update in the September monthly security update"
I have decided i will stay at 5.1.1 untill Android M maybe september also. In the meanwhile i have disabled MmsService and OTA.

I'm with you, not going to try to flash these things, there are a few zip files out there dated a couple days ago, apparently the zips aren't tested prior to release since everyone is getting failure when flashing the zip file.
Is there really no method to apply OTA updates on rooted/modified devices (e.g. modify the update.zip itself to bypass whatever checks it performs)?
Same problem here- only had a custom recovery and root. brought back the stock recovery and did full unroot from SuperSu.
OTA update installtion stops with "Error".
Just flash the system image from the update.

I guess i could have flashed the new version just the same.
Hi All,
I have Moto X play running on android 5.1.1 lollipop. It was rooted recently and used with cyanogen Mod 12.1 for a month. during that time i did back up of entire phone. later i restored that and at present i have been using stock Rom. Recently i got official update for Android marshmallow and i downloaded the 500+Mb file and tried to install. In that process it was going to Twrp recovery mode and not installing properly. So i did reboot system. After 5 mins i turned on mobile, it got shutdown and i again restored my backup . It was working fine. cant we update to Marshmallow with the rooted device? If so how to stop the notifications of android system updates? I tried this way but still i am getting update notification
Apps--> All---> Motorola Update services--> turned off the notification
.How to disable it so that i should not receive update notification? or any other process to upgrade to marshmallow even after rooting? Please let me know

you need stock recovery to update to OTA mm, you cannot update from TWRP. download the lollipop stock-firmware extract the recovery file and flash it, then update.
i wanted to ask that after restoring from backup you got OTA update notification ? or you downloaded the MM update from other sources?? because i thought after rooting i wont get official OTA.

if you have your backup just do a full flash on stock rom and start fresh. there's an Asian 6.0 rom (I believe it is Indian) on the x play github. then proceed with root again.

Sir, Is it possible to unroot the rooted devices in any way? if so could you please let me know
if you want to unroot you can do it from superuser, its mentioned in the youtube video. just unroot from superuser settings.
then if you want to upgrade to marshmallow download Indian stock lollipop rom from https://github.com/motoxplay/stock. unzip it on your computer to the the folder where you kept TWRP while flashing it . you'll see a file named recovery.img.
from adb run the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
i.e flash this recovery just the way you flashed TWRP.
then you can update to marshmallow.
and did disabling google play services removed your update notification???

Just follow the procedure as given in that thread and everything will be fine.
It has nothing to do with the way you rooted your phone.
If a phone has twrp installed, he has nothing to fear about upgrading to latest versions as the updates are made available on Xda in Twrp flashable zip.
So no need to format the stock firmware again and then update and then all the headache.

Sir, In your previous post you meant to say this?
1. First unroot the mobile using the super Su (settings)
2. Then flash the Stock lollipop rom mentioned in the github
3. Then update the mobile to Marshmallow
4. Then again root the device

1. correct
1.1. check oem unlock and usb debugging
1.2. Copy the original old backup which you took, to your external sdcard. [just to return to stock if anything goes wrong]
2. Just flash the recovery which is present in the lollipop rom, no need to flash the whole rom.
3. correct
4. Do NOT flash the old superuser to root. To root again follow these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/root-how-to-root-6-0-easly-t3277202

Hi,
I got my Moto G 2015 XT1541 running with Android 5.1.1 official rom and TWRP Osprey 3.0.0 R2. I just got the official message to upgrade to Marshmallow, but when I to upgrade TWRP comes with the following error: Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
I've placed a full log here: recovery.log
I also tried installing an other OTA file - (2GB Retail EU OTA): Download - thanks to @Osid - from here, but got the same error.
Also, the official update is version 24.41.33.en.EU, and the above file 23.41.47 and is already on my phone, according to "About Phone".
Anyway: Can someone please help me to get past this error and update to the official 24.41.33.en.EU? I've read about changing an updater-script file in the zip if you have one, but this is a block.map.
Thanks allot!

Both update methods, as described above, fail. Method 1: using the phone's system updater, method 2: using the official(?) OTA upgrade files provided on this site.
But it looks like the OTA file is of a version I already have. See attachment.

Ok, I took the recovery.img from "XT1541_OSPREY_RETEU_2GB_5.1.1_LPI23.72-33_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml", my version was 23.72-47. Hope that doesn't really matter. But is was the only 2GB European ROM I could find here.
So I used fastboot to flash that and tried the system update again. At the beginning it looked hopeful; It was showing the Installing System Update with the progress bar, but then briefly the error icon and rebooted without making any changes.
If I need to re-lock and/or un-root to fix this, can it be don without wiping everything?
Thanks again!

Moto G4 Plus US Variant XT1644
Build# MPJ24.139-64 Android 6.0.1
Stock Unmodified TWRP Backup
Stock Recovery.img & Logo.bin
Description:
I could not find ANY stock images for the US XT1644 variant so I made my own for others that have modified their system partition and wish to restore to a factory state and take the 7.0 update. Backup created on a factory reset unmodified stock build (not previously rooted/xposed/modified in any way) via fastboot booting TWRP w/system write disabled. Stock recovery and logo extracted via DD from stock rooted rom after TWRP backup was made. I pulled the recovery and logo images as these are the most commonly modified partitions (other than the system). This backup will work if you stayed on 6.0.1 and rooted/exposed/changed boot logo/etc. If you played with the 7.0 updates made for other variants, I honestly don't know if this will work for you to take the OTA as the bootloader/modem were likely modified - Test and let us know.
Directions:
-Have ADB working on your PC (google it, not getting into that here)
-Download TWRP backup here: https://mega.nz/#F!vBgU3QJB!R5J5RgZkvUiWHwmIfN6BkA
-Move backup to your proper TWRP backup location on your sd or external sd
-Restore backup via TWRP and reboot
-Download stock recovery & logo images here: https://mega.nz/#F!eBpB3Z5C!J6hoLKdfcObSLavWCsLnyw
-Power off device/plug into pc/hold volume down for 5 seconds/press and hold power & volume down until fastboot appears
-Move files to adb location (Windows) or open terminal where you downloaded the files (Linux) on your pc
-Verify connection
Code:
fastboot devices
-Restore stock recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-Restore stock logo (if you changed it previously to get rid of warning):
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
-Reboot and enjoy stock 6.0.1 and be able to take OTA
You are the mvp here!
I have the exact model, and it worked out great
When I was setting up as a new device, it showed some errors like SystemUI stopped working, and File Manager, theres a way to fix that?
Will it show any problems in the future? Of those same ones?
My Compilation Number is "MPJ24.139-48", should be ...64
In stock recovery says i'm at MPJ24.139-64/65
Edit* I had to flash a XT1625-XT1644 MPJ24.139-64 Firmware, then I wiped the OS with TWRP, then I restored your backup and worked like a charm, now running 6.0.1 MPJ24.139-64 with no problems :laugh::good:

You must have been on the release prior to the one I was on when I got the phone this December. Something is not matching up. You likely have a different bootloader, and modem. When I get a chance I'll extract as many partitions that I can get access too for fastboot flashing. I'll try to do it later on this evening. It really sucks Moto won't give us full firmware for this phone.

Sigh... Sitting here in California with an XT1644. I restored the last official stock firmware (Marshmallow Build #: MPJ24.139-64), and the OTA update simply check says my "Software is up to date!". With India variants having received Nougat back in December, I'm wondering WTF is taking so long?
I'm mostly interested in getting the updated baseband, as I'm now running @Silesh.Nair's unofficial LinageOS Nougat with few issues. I guess I'll keep waiting for the official modem update for this device in this country.
Hmmph.

Yeah, the US variant xt1644 still has not gotten the 7.0 update. So friggen annoying!! That's basically what I'm doing too, waiting for is the official OTA just for the radio. I'd rather have the 7.0 baseband/firmware before I start flashing any custom roms.
where to check?
i have the us variant from best buy as well , but i twicked it a lot .
How can i know when a nougat release is available? where can i check .

...139-64 XT1644 firmware, just a firmware for both)
Flash it via fastboot, boot it up, flash TWRP recovery, wipe the full system with it, download the TWRP backup that was posted here, restore it, then via fastboot flash the stock recovery (for removing TWRP) and stock logo, then you will have MPJ24.139-64 with no problems, just waiting for nougat OTA for retus version.
Here's the link for retus firmwares: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/athene/official/RETUS/

getting the Nougat OTA

Yeah, the US variant xt1644 still has not gotten the 7.0 update. So friggen annoying!! That's basically what I'm doing too, waiting for is the official OTA just for the radio. I'd rather have the 7.0 baseband/firmware before I start flashing any custom roms.

So now that an update to Nougat is getting pushed to xt1644 devices in the 'States, I'm having some challenges successfully applying the update with my unlocked bootloader.
I believe I've got the correct system, boot, logo & recovery images; I'm able to boot up, download the OTA, and initiate the update. Unfortunately, the update process eventually displays the green android character on its back with the red error symbol.
I was hoping to get the update, with the proper local and updated baseband, without going all the way back to stock with the locked bootloader, etc.
I know i had taken the October Marshmallow security update OTA with an unlocked bootloader... Can anyone share the minimum requirements for the current Nougat OTA?
Edit: I went ahead and returned my US xt1644 to the latest stock Marshmallow firmware (MPJ24.139-64) via fastboot and the script commands listed in this post by @yeshwanthvshenoy. Though I left the bootloader unlocked, the phone booted up and went through the OTA Nougat update process without any issue.
I stayed on the new/updated stock Nougat ROM just long enough to confirm that it's working well I'm on my network (Verizon LTE/CDMA), then I flashed @Shreps' build of TWRP 3.1 and backed up every partition before restoring @Silesh.Nair's LineageOS-based InvictaOS. At last I have an up-to-date baseband (M8952_70030.25.03.62R) and appear to have no issues on custom Nougat ROMs - fingerprint registration works fine, for example.

Yes your bootloader will still be unlocked unless you specifically enter the oem lock command. Read the tutorials, they all explain how to keep your bootloader unlocked.

I had the exact same issue, and your solution worked perfectly. It's unfortunate how difficult Motorola has made it to find the stock firmware for the XT1644.
