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.

Thanks! I was trying to figure out how I could flash a custom recovery to 4.4.3....Thanks to your post, I realized that CWM recovery was the ticket from the beginning.
Normally, I would use TWRP. Not no more.
I now have a custom recovery on the stock 4.4.3 firmware!
Why are all you people flashing recoveries and all that jazz..when a factory FXZ (aka) firmware isn't available.. just asking for trouble..then most blame the device for the problems created..
TIP: NEVER flash anything unless you have the FXZ..
Also..if you ones are relying on OTA's then that's also asking for trouble..what til an FXZ is available, then flash away..

Hi,
the title says it all:
How can I apply the 5.0 OTA update on a rooted, unlocked Moto G XT1032 with CWM recovery?
I don't care about root anymore and I have used SuperSU to unroot the phone.
But in order to apply the update I need to install the stock recovery, otherwise the device will get stuck in a bootloop.
How do I do this? I have tried using MotoToolAIO and its "Flash Stock Recovery KitKat" button but get a
Code:
hab check failed for recovery
message every time I try.
Could you guys please tell me how to get the stock recovery installed on this phone? As I said I don't care about losing root and I don't mind relocking the phone if necessary. I would really appreciate any pointers you can give me. Possibly without losing my data & apps. Thank you.
This page apparently is supposed to contain all those stock files but it is broken: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
This manual seems to be helpful for similar cases, it did not help me, though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Download the stock 4.4.4 ROM for your phone, extract the recovery.img file, and flash it using fastboot commands.
You also need to be unrooted with the stock Motorola apps.

If you think that solves the proble, well...yes. But where do I find that file? As I indicated the only possible source seems to be unavailable currently. I can't find any other.
Does anyone here have an XT1032 DE singleSIM recovery image lying around?
As I am currently living in South Africa and internet is not reall stable it would be amazing if someone could offer just the recovery file instead of the whole 500-600MB dump.
I have a Canadian xt1032 running stock Telus 4.4.4 firmware. Not sure if that recovery would work but I could find it if you want to try it.
Don't forget to unroot too.
I unrooted too using SuperSU and managed to restore the stock recovery using MotoTool (find it on XDA). These are the basic requirements for installing an OTA. But after the OTA is downloaded and I try to install it, the process starts and in about 10 seconds it displays "Error" and boots to 4.4.4 again. Any recommendations?
^^did you remove any of the stock Motorola apps?
No, and Motorola Update Services is updated to the last version.

I doubt it - and fear what might happen if it goes wrong, to be honest. But thanks a lot for the offer. I was able to locate a Retail package for the DE version and will try to download the whole beast, hoping that the connection is stable for these 3 hours.
Even though nobody answered me, I found out what's going on. Lollipop OTAs cannot be installed on modified devices.
You could try out some custom ROM if you are unable to get the official 4.4.4. Carbon and CM11 are some customs ROMs I know of.
There are great unofficial ROMs on the moto g xda forum too!! Don't forget to have a look.

I'm thinking of Resurrection Remix 5.0.2
You could also check out mokee, crdroid, xperience. And don't forget to check out the ROMs in the forum list

One question man. I have 4.4.4 installed. Do I have to install stock 5.X in order to get lollipop bootloader before installing any ROM?

how did you manage to un-modify your device? I just bought the Moto G (2013) and have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP and haven't had any luck installing ANY firmware after 4.4.4.... I'm always getting stuck on the bootlogo and have to return back to stock 4.4.4...

You need to have factory firmware and recovery installed in order to update via OTA.

I have reflashed(clean install= wiped data/cache/system) 5.0.2 Asian lollipop stock rom,which doesnt upgrade bootloader i.e im on kitkat bootloader. after flashing, i lost root access and i'm on stock recovery. And Now I got 5.1 OTA, can i install it or not? Because while turning on my device, i get custom image first and then motorola animation,i get this custom image because i have made it by moto g boot logo creator + flasher.
[TIA]

Yes you can flash the OTA update without any issues. Considering your bootloader is 41.18 you wont be having any trouble and obviously since you clean flashed 5.0.2 surely your bootloader must have updated itself automatically

If you root stock ROM, you'll get an update, but you won't be able to install it, because your system partition would be detected as tampered and update would fail. You need stock untouched ROM to update. If you have custom ROM, you won't get update at all.
It all comes to this - you have to have Completely stock rom without root (not unrooted but completely stock)

i have a xt1032 that i flashed stock rom and stock recovery, not rotted and only with the bootloader unlocked. The phone detects the update, but when i am going to install it it fails. I don't know what could be the problem...
I flashed TWRP recovery and rooted my Moto g3 XT1550 but im on stock ROM itself. Now I got a OTA notification of Marshmallow update.
So, can I download the OTA & install it without unrooting or flashing stock recovery?

No! There should be no confusion here, the ONLY possible modification that can be done to your phone where you can accept a OTA update is an unlocked bootloader, NOTHING else. No Root, no TWRP, no Xposed... Your software status should show official and if the /system partition has been modified it will fail. PERIOD.
You cannot install an OTA without returning to PURE stock, not just unrooting and flashing stock recovery, you need to have an unmodified /system partition (root and then unroot is still a modified /system partition). Flash the factory image that matches your current software, then take the OTA, and flash TWRP and root again.
