I have my OPO rooted and using a custom recovery. If I restore to stock recovery would it be safe to update to the latest 4.4.4 released today?
You don't even need the stock recovery, check out my OPO guide thread in my signature for download link and instructions on how to flash through TWRP.

Hi I'm new to the nexus series. I have just tried to flash a cm11 rom and then back to stock. Now I cannot use OTA to get 4.4.2 update
Just manually flash it with whatever custom recovery you have installed or sideload it with adb.
Check out this guide. The method depends on what you want (100% stock? Just the update?...)
Whats the easiest way to get an ota update while rooted? Would it be just flashing to stock recovery again, taking the ota, and then rerooting?
If this is the case, does anyone have a stock 4.4.2 recovery .zip that I can flash?
easiest way is just flashing a stock rooted rom via your recovery. but if you want an ota, you can have root, but your system has to be completely stock. and you will lose root and your custom recovery. youd have to reflash your recovery and su to reroot.
How about this sticky?

I see many noobs like me being confused about how their root and custom recovery status should be before installing or even receivingLollipop OTA.
So my understanding is to receive OTA update and to successfully install it one needs to be on,
1. STOCK firmware of their respective device.
2.Custom recovery ( No TWRP, CWM or any other custom recovery ).
3.Bootloader should be locked.
Am i right?
So, my questions are,
1. I can understand why the first two needs to be done but why should we lock the bootloader?.
2. When i restored to stock firmware( Mine's XT1033 ) KK 4.4.4 from TWRP Recovery with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688 TWRP was still installed on my mobile.But when i reverted to stock 4.4.2( not 4.4.4 ) from fastboot using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700502 it successfully deleted TWRP.
So when we flash Stock ROM with Zip file it only installs the stock ROM and won't delete TWRP? and when we flash with fastboot( and .xml.zip file ) it removes TWRP? So am i right with this assumption?
If i am right how do i get back to stock recovery( delete TWRP ) since currently i have Stock 4.4.4 from the above link.
Help me and provide some correct scenarios to get Lollipop OTA.
this mototool has a functionallity of retrieving stock recovery

it's pretty straight forward.
and as of what I've read, no need to relock bootloader for OTA to take place.. but I have no experience whatsoever..
hi,
I have Lolipop 5.0 in my Moto G + root + TWRP. I received the 5.0.1 OTA but of course I can't apply the update because of TWRP. I read (here) that I need to come back to stock recovery to apply the update. I'll loose root access but that's ok, I'll root again later. My question is: how do I come back to stock recovery?
Thank you.
The same way you flash twrp.

can't find XT1032 Lollipop stock recovery on XDA, I guess I'll have to open a new thread to ask... I flashed 4.4.4 stock recovery (through MotoTool AIO software) but I haven't been able to flash 5.0.1 update then. So I think 5.0 stock recovery is required to update to 5.0.1.
Thanks for your help.
If by chance you have the link to XT1032 5.0 stock recovery, please post it!

I guess you're using custom rom so restore to STOCK ROM .
Follow this guide (at the end dont flash any custom recovery) Stock recovery XT1032
Automatically you'll get stock recovery

no, I'm using stock ROM, with TWRP + root, that's it. So I just need to stock recovery to apply OTA update.
But thanks for the link, I understand how to use it to come back to stock recovery. Except... that this guide is for XT1033. Do you think I can use recovery.img XT1033 image file to flash my XT1032?
Is there any stock recovery flashable zip for this firmware not fastboot flash able ? And one ore thing, do I need unlocked bootloader for this ? My device is 64 GB non-global version
Uploading for you now, standby.

Thank you very much.one more thing buddy, can you share any link for multirom patched AK kernel for cm 11s as I couldn't find any in specific thread. I would like to dual boot it with Lollipop ROM. Sorry to keep on bothering you
No problems, here you go:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B98G0KTJwnBFM09OTEZ2NnVfekE/edit?usp=docslist_api
You need an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery to flash firmware though. And this is only the firmware, not the full OS.
Can't help with the kernel though, sorry.

Hello, could I get a link as well?
I'm rooted with Custom Recovery, but I don't want to use fastboot as I'm having some adb driver funkiness.
So this way I can just flash 44S directly from the recovery after performing a Wipe..
I was happy on 1+1 44S and then immediately after OTA update to 05Q, keyboard because super laggy / touchscreen issues. Want to go back in a least painful way. All backed up now.
Thanks ahead of time!
