My VOLTE is working fine on NHA. I noticed the support in the phone when this update was released a couple weeks ago. You need to log into your verizon account and activate the VOLTE feature. It will be working almost immediately after that. I tried a few video calls between my S5 and my wife's and they seem to work OK on my weak LTE signal at my house. You need to turn off wifi before it works too.
I plan to do a manual upgrade to NI2 today. (flash backwards and OTA to NI2 then re-root)

Everything worked great. I'm rooted on NI2 with Xposed and Wanam. After updating OTA to NI2, just flash the original NCG kernel, root, then reflash the NI2 kernel.
Worked Great for me too. Confirmed rooted on NI2
Is it currently OTA only? What about those of us that aren't using Verizon, probably have to wait for a full flash?
I have the Verizon Developer Edition of this phone with it being rooted and having TWRP custom recovery. I tried a 4.4.4 (NI2) ROM on it, and my phone got stuck on the first screen during boot. I was able to restore from a backup through TWRP recovery to get back up and running, again. Hopefully, a working version of NI2 for the Developer Edition comes out soon because I want to enable VoLTE for my phone..
Hey guys, any idea where to get the NI2 kernel? Sorry I wasn't able to find it via a search.

Rooted G900v on NE9 OTA to N12?
Hey everyone,
Im new to rooting, so my fault for the dumb questions. Im. Currently on NE9, rooted with towelroot, Still on stock Android 4.4.2. Do I take the OTA to N12? Will it mess up my phone?, Ill just root it after I update, So Im not worried about losing Root.
Any advice would be much appreciated, Thanx!

Follow these install instructions in the OP. Youll be fine.

I have a Verizon Samsung SM-G900V which I did run Towelroot on to root on the original.
Verizon pushed out the NE9 OTA which I accepted and it broke root. I haven't yet gotten around to following the directions to take it back to root.
My problem is they are trying to push out the NI2 update over the last few weeks to me and every time I try to apply it the phone errors out when trying to apply it. Of course no additional information as to why.
I haven't seen too many people having this particular issue so figured I would ask to see if I should go through and root again then apply the NI2 to the system through a different method than OTA, or if there is a particular file I should check to see what the reason it is failing might be.
Thanks for any advice.

No. I didn't that I remember specifically, but it is possible that I did freeze something and just don't remember.
When I start the phone it boots up then presents me with an error saying "Unfortunately, VZWAVSService has stopped." Otherwise everything seems to be fine.
I didn't have any problems applying the OTA for NE9 so found it odd that this one wouldn't push out correctly.

Heimdall might work with the smaller kernel files but honestly I haven't tried it yet. Give Jodin a try, you can run it from the website or off your computer. Jodin uses heimdall so it won't work with large tar files but should be ok with the smaller ones. Here is the NCG PIT file you will need also. Don't worry it is the same pit for all the versions so far.

You're extremely lucky you did not lock your bootloader. I understand a rooted phone with a custom recovery will normally prevent an OTA update from successfully installing. But, to be on the safe side, I would NEVER allow an OTA update to be installed on my Developer Edition phone. Just a suggestion...if you have a Developer Edition S5 do not take an OTA or ODIN/Flash a retail firmware. If you do, your bootloader will get locked and you'll be left with a very expensive retail version of the S5.

That should work if he uses the same unofficial twrp 2.8.3.0 to restore it.
The official twrp 2.8.3.0 doesn't support the modem partition.

I want to flash my Cricket Moto G (xt1045) 4.4.4 to the retail 4.4.4 version for a few reasons. Mainly to get access to tethering and the chance that I will be able to update to Lollipop since my hope of cricket releasing the update is fading.
I've been searching around and cannot find a definite answer to this. Lots of people say it should work but I have yet to find anyone who successfully did so. Some say to flash all files but the bootloader and it should be good while others say being the official Motorola firmware everything will flash without a problem.
Has anyone took the plunge and tried it? I would, but I really don't want to be stuck with my Lumia 520 backup phone if I screw something up. Thanks!

Is that the page? His instructions and ROM download seem to be for a XT1068, not a XT1045. Did you find the ROM files for a 1045 somewhere? I'd like to get access to wifi tethering, too...
Yes, that is the page. I'm assuming the software install would be the same for all models in the Moto G group. The ROM files are located in a thread on here titled "Moto G 4G/LTE Stock Firmware (XT1039/40/42/45)"
Would post a link, but I'm still not allowed.

Thanks for the link. Maybe I will give this a try, I'm buying an android stereo for my car and need wifi tethering to run the GPS.
If you wind up trying it before I do, let us know! This would theoretically only update the ROM, we'd still be stuck with a locked bootloader, right? If we could find a 4.4.2 ROM, then the Sunshine S-off unlock would work, and we'd be set.

No problem. I will report back if I try, you do the same if you beat me to it! Yes, the bootloader would still be locked, but the software should install since it is an official Motorola signed software. I think I recall reading somewhere that flashing to 4.4.2 would not allow unlocking through sunshine though.

macgi , I gave this a try last night and the results were extremely not good. Wasn't able to flash the retail firmware, got a bunch of "prevalidation flash failed" on some items, but not others, and then it wouldn't boot. Tried to reflash the cricket firmware to revert back, and got the same prevalidation error for the boot image and the partition gpt.bat file, and now I can't get past the fastboot screen.

I'm assuming you tried using the link above? Or did you try flashing each individual file and skipping the bootloader file which was talked about in the firmware thread? (I believe it was around pages 20-30 if I recall)
Found it
@JoeSyr, maybe I'm missing something here specific to Moto G LTE, but flashing a firmware image does not require an unlocked Bootloader. I would do it manually, skip most of the steps, and only flash the system.img initially.
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
The only way you can get into serious trouble would by flashing the motoboot.img (Bootloader) and phone no longer loads fastboot mode. But even then, is there not a hardbrick mbm-ci recovery option for Moto G 4G

I tried running the ROM Install.bat file the guy put together in the first page you/I linked to, which did attempt to flash the bootloader. It sounds like this person you're quoting is saying the flash should be operational even just flashing those three chunks of the system image file? I think those files wrote okay, but it still didn't boot. Problem might be with this other partition file i mentioned.

no, haven't really gotten a chance to mess with it, yet. I popped my sim card into an old samsung galaxy Blaze I had laying around as a backup, and I've been getting by with that for the time being. I think I've still got to figure out what the next thing I should try is. Might try asking around in some more of the subforums, here.

I tried flashing with some more tools, different firmwares, and different combinations of commands, no luck.
I found a guy in the stock firmware thread that had the exact same problem as me, and has the same cid as my phone, cid 10, which no one else seems to have. They think it might be why the preflash validation failed.
Other users suggested that if a cricket lollipop firmware image is developed at some point in the future, that would be able to flash without error. I reached out to the user to see if he ever resolved it, but didn't get a response.
Anyway, the sense that I got is that my problems were because my cid didn't match. Is yours cid 10 as well? you can check from adb. If it's not, you might be fine attempting it.
It's been a while since I checked, but I believe it is cid 10 as well. Now just hoping cricket releases Lollipop soon.....
The lollipop release for the retail (non carrier) version just came out OTA yesterday, apparently, so hopefully Cricket is not too far behind...Though it will probably take a while to go from an OTA update to a downloadable firmware image.
I contacted Motorola tech support today, they said they would replace the phone for $75 + taxes (flashing firmware via adb fastboot voids the warranty, of course), and told me it wouldn't have the Cricket firmware on it, so worst case, i would be gaining tethering ability, best case, they might send me a variant (xt1039?) that is capable of being rooted and installing a custom ROM in addition to tether. I'll probably take this option if I'm not able to get it working once the lollipop xt1045 firmware file shows up.
That's not a bad deal. Hopefully you can get it working when lollipop comes out though. Thanks for the update!

First make sure your rooted with twrp.Basically what I did was flashed a already stock rooted AT&T rom in twrp which I knew would brick it.That will turn it back to the correct stock ROM which in this case D800 even though the device is brick.Next get out of recovery and get the device in download mode.Then I flashed stock AT&T Kit Kat rom using tot method and the no check DLL file.May work with AT&T DLL.Didn't test.Flash it,should be successful.I will assume this method will work for others on different devices if flashed wrong rom,didn't make a backup,or however they ended up changing the device because of flashing wrong ROM.
