OTA's
I have a Boost Moto G that has the Verizon Firmware on it & I had no ISSUEs letting it OTA as it normally would everything works fine.
I get this may be a bit old but others may be looking for the answer as well
OTA's will not work with custom recoveries (and maybe even anything non-stock).
Here is a flashable zip for 4.4.4 for Verizon's Moto G.

Hey guys
Been reading about the new 4.4.4, but no clear info on it
Picked up a Boost Mobile Moto G to use with Page Plus
unlocked the bootloader
installed CFC-fastboot_falcon_verizon_user_4.3
installed recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-falcon.img
rooted
I'm up to CFC-fastboot_falcon_verizon_user_4.4.2
my question is do I flash to CFC-fastboot_falcon_verizon_user_4.4.4
are there problems with the new 4.4.4
right now I have 3G data, and everything works.
anyone flash 4.4.4 to Page Plus, any issues ?
Thanks

I just flashed 2 of the Boost phones last week... immediately after flashing the Verizon firmware, it updated to 4.4.4 and I let it go. This before I even flashed the NV stuff to get data & 3G. It has been flawless for me. I came to this phone from a Rezound which was much harder to get onto PP properly. I have already rooted my phone and put on TWRP 2.7.1.0... I am trying to make myself wait a while before I really get into flashing different ROMs because this stock variant is working so smoothly. Hope this helps a bit.
No Issues Here
I had flashed my device when it was on 4.3 as well and on July 30th it updated to 4.4.4 & everything works as it should so just let it do the update no need to do it manually unless you are rooted I guess would be the only reason
Okay I know your probably gonna think outright this an Android L page right, I'll not lie yes but in a different way.
Okay right now I'm running Motorola Stock Android 4.4.4, yes I have messed around flashed to GPE came back; back and forth. You get my point
So here's my question (its a big staged one)
If history is going to repeat itself that means the GPE edition of the G will get the update faster than the
Moto stock G. So if i were to say flash to GPE and keep it like that, the bootloader being unlocked would the Lollipop update work on the GPE or can I lock my bootloader to GPE (keep in mind mine is a XT1033) which i think isn't possible.
Why the concern on GPE and unlocked is cause Lollipop is the going to be the most secure android release and bootloader and secure go hand in hand..
Thanks for any insight/help

I'm afraid that if you have GPe and OTA to Lollipop, maybe you wont be able to flash KitKat, something like that happened when KitKat arrived and people wasnt able to flash Jelly Bean anymore because some things changed inside software. So I think this will happen when Lollipop arrives, some changes in the software will prevent downgrading Android versions. Later on, firmware images of Lollipop will appear and then maybe it will be possible to flash Moto Lollipop but with no more posibility to go back to KitKat.. IMHO I preffer waiting for Moto Lollipop...
And yes.. The Lollipop update is going to work on GPe only if you have stock recovery on it, and you will loose root access since a major system update means all system files being erased and replaced with brand new files, that also means formatting system partition and root files being formatted as well. So if you want, keep GPe but with stock recovery to make the OTA work properly.

Non gpe moto G got update from 4.3 to 4.4.2 faster than gpe one. So we can't say for sure which one will get L first.
Hello Android gurus
I tried to find the answer to my problem in the other threads, but I'm still not 100% sure if I should proceed.
. I had rooted xt1032 moto g prior to 5.0.2 OTA that came out yesterday.
I used full unroot with supersu prior to applying the OTA thinking it would be ok. I guess I screwed up, my phone is soft bricked.
I can get in stock recovery but otherwise it is on boot loop and ends up with 'no command'.
I have the moving line problem on the bootloader white screen which seems to imply a diferent version of kernel and bootloader, (which I do not full understand)
.. Which makes we wonder if it is unsafe to flash the stock rom 4.4.4 image of my phone.
And if it is safe, will I be able to update via OTA after that?
What are my options? Thanks in advance!
The moving line issue is probably due to the fact that you have the 41.18 bootloader on your phone.
I also have a Koodo xt1032 with the 41.18 bootloader and was able to flash back to stock Telus 4.4.4. Do not flash stock 4.4.2 as other XDA members have said that flashing 4.4.2 would brick your phone.
I'm checking for OTA updates but I keep getting the message that my phone's software is up to date.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it I change the stock os to Cyanogen Android 6.0. The os shows some problem then i flash the twrp stock moto 5.0
2 os backup. After few month It also shows problem and mobile stops working stuck at Moto logo Then I again flashed the stock Moto Android 6.0 by rsd lite. All done now it's bootloader is unlocked but it says device is not rooted. Now it's getting it's update of security. Should I install the update. It's annoying it's always pop of. I really wanna rid of it. Please anyone help me. Should I install the update. Does the present bootloader allow me install or my mobile shows problem. Reply please....... Moto g xt1068
Cyanogen is no more updated I believe.
It is time to switch to the best Lineage OS 14.1 ROM.
Follow tutorial here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/guide-tutorial-motorola-moto-g-4g-to-t3516234
You'll have OTA updates .... and unleashed Moto G 4G (if not 4G, use specific ROM, Kernel and TWRP) but steps are the same.

Hi,
The device is old but my Moto G 4G with LOS 16 and BitGApps is decent.
Hi,
My wifes old phone is a Moto G 4g, she kept it on KitKat and never updated it to Lolipop. I'm looking to root it and put lineage OS on it, but I need to update it first to make sure the radio firmware is correct. When I try and do a system update now it keeps saying its already on the latest version, but its on KitKat so this cant be right. My wife was getting this popup before years ago but ignore it because she wanted to stay on KitKat, just wondering why its not working now ?.
Thanks in advance
