[Q] Troubleshooting while updating to 4.4.4

Hi all,
Since a few days I'm trying to update my Nexus 5 to Android 4.4.4 but everything I've tryed has failed !
Today I'm running stock ROM 4.4.2 + root + TWRP recovery + Xposed
What I've tryed :
_ OTA : device reboot on recovery and does nothing
_ Flash stock using the latest Nexus Rom Toolkit from Wug Refresh : device reboot on bootloader and get stuck on a "downloading..." message while PC get stuck on "downloading bootloader"
_ Flash zip from TWRP : tryed several zip, all of them has failed
I don't know what to do next, so now I'm asking your help...
Also I hope this post is in the right section !

Download vomer's stock rooted 4.4.4 rom from the development section and dirty flash it from custom recovery. This should do the job.

You can find the mentioned rooted stock in my signature, section 6.6

Before trying this custom ROM could you explain me the difference with the stock ROM and why I cannot flash the stock one ?
Is it because I have Xposed or something ?
And also after flashing the custom by vomer, can I try to flash again the stock one ?

The One which we are telling you to flash is the stock rom. Yes, it's because you have Xposed and other modules installed.. God knows what changes it has made to system.
There's no need to flash the factory images again as vomer's thread contains the stock itself.

All of your questions have already been answered, except the Vomer ROM one. While technically a custom ROM, it is only stock ROM with root. So going back to pure stock would be pointless.

I converted to GPe (My moto G was normal) months ago WITH THIS TOOL. All great.
Then flash Aero Kernel. Now I want to go back to the GPe converted stock kernel. So I can received the update when It comes to out.
Where can I get this GPe converted kernel? How can I flash it?

try flashing it via fastboot. You will find the recovery MotoToll All in one/Data/KitKat
you only need to enter fastboot and type on a cmd fastboot flash recovery file.img

Hi su,
i also tried to Convert my XT1039 to GPE, with the same error, but apparently it worked anyway, since after that the regular start screen showed and the LED flashed white on starting the device.
But i was still stuck in the same bootloop as you.
I then flashed a complete 4.4.4 Retail .zip piece by piece via fastboot.exe according to the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/xt1039-moto-g-4g-stock-firmware-kxb21-t2805619. Then the phone finally worked
Good luck,

Please tell me if I can use both SIM cards in XT1033 after I convert it to GPe
I'm completely new to Android and Flashing ROM.
I search a lot on web but did not find a perfect answer.
Could anyone please tell if I can use both Sim cards in XT1033 after I convert it to google play edition?
I need both sim cards for my day to day calling
Thanks in advance!!

We can use only one sim.
The reason why I would like to change it to Gpe, is because MotoCare, Assist, Alert etc apps from Motorola just consume a lot of battery. I tried to remove these apps but I can't completely remove them.
I need some help with the Moto tool:
1. What is recovery? (Flash stock recovery, fastboot etc., what and when we should use these?)
2. What is Stock recovery? (I'm using KitKat 4.4.4, can I use original google kitkat without Motorola applications?)
3. Can someone provide a link to understand the basics of Android firmware flashing?
I'm a computer engineer and worked on vc++ but I'm completely new to Android
Thanks in advance!

Can I use mototool for GPE 4.4.4? Or has it to be 4.4.2 as the description provided that version.
I had some problem flashing to GPE 444 from Cyanogen 11. It asked for a password to decrypt my phone.
So I flashed it to motorola stock 444, lucky for me it worked.

Has anyone had any luck converting their XT1045 to a stock GPE ROM? During the flashing I get errors "hab check failed for boot" and "hab check failed for recovery" then a boot loop at the unlocked GPE boot screen.

can this be used for lollipop
will this tool work for lollipop 5.0.2

Help!
I tried 'Flash stock recovery' but in the phone it says partition size mismatch.And fails.Help! :/

I have a second Moto G (2013 version). Could I convert that one into a GPE edition and then receive lollipop OTA update? I think the OTA update is out since like a couple months for the GPE version. Any ideas? Also thanks a lot for this, it's a great tool!

Hi,
I want to root an XT1045. ¿Will this tool work with (XT1045) or only in 102X and 103X versions?
Thanks.

Can i root my moto g xt1033 with lollipop 5.0.2 with this tool ?
Thanks a lot!

You have to be complete stock, no root, stock recovery and kernel.
Unrooting and flashing the stock recovery and kernel will NOT work,
you will need to flash the 4.4.4 firmware first.

Get the recovery.img and run "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" from bootloader mode.
Do it at your own risk^^^

Thnx everyone I really appreciate it

Did you try manually flashing each partition using fastboot commands?

go on youtube type in how to adb sideload a rom on moto g that video will fix your problem well it did for me GoodLuck

Is recovery installed? Are the Moto drivers installed on your pc?
I've been through something similar before and whenever I accidentally wipe the OS, I just connect then flash another rom usually starting from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688 and it will pop up under "my computer" where you can copy and try to flash your rom again. I assume it's the same with 5.0+ (I'm still on 4.4)
Which method did you use to flash lollipop?

[Completed] How to go back to stock recovery in XT1040

Hello and good evening. My problem is that i rooted my phone around 4 months ago, to do that i had to install a custom recovery, which is TRWP, can't remember the version. Thing is, that i want to get my original recovery, so i can recieve the OTA for 5.1. I dowloaded some files from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/xt1039-moto-g-4g-stock-firmware-kxb21-t2805619 i got the brazilian firmware which is the one that is supossed to work with my phone. But in the files i see a recovery one, so my question is, should i follow the steps on the tutorial or i can flash just the recovery over the TRWP ? Thanks for your responses.

Flashing the complete stock firmware will overwrite your custom recovery with the stock one.
But you can also flash the stock recovery separately afterwards.
I know that Chainfire has stock recovery in his CF-AutoRoot files which will also replace the current recovery with the stock recovery.
Here is the CF-AutoRoot thread for your device: [KitKat] [Lollipop] Root XT1039/XT1040 CF-Auto-Root Peregrine By Chainfire by TheFixItMan.
If you need further help for your device, please register on xda and ask in the Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Good luck !
