[Q] Where to get stock recoveries and how to install them?

Now that it's official that the Moto G will get android lollipop, there will be a lot of people who will need to restore the stock recovery on their phones when lollipop becomes available for our phones.
I have seen some dumps people have made of their recoveries but are there official recovery images available anywhere?
Do the falcon and peregrine use different recoveries as I assume they do? In my case, I need the XT1045 recovery.
Is there phone-specific information in the recovery that needs to be set when restoring the recovery?
Could we have an FAQ for restoring the stock recovery? I believe that we already have FAQs for restoring the stock roms. Once we have the appropriate recovery image file, isn't it just something like: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"?

Thanks! Unfortunately, there is not yet a version there for xt1045 running 4.4.4 retail U.S. Do we know if the 4.4.4 recovery is the same as the 4.4.3 recovery? Or should I use the Cricket recovery since it is 4.4.4 and there is nothing carrier-specific in the recovery, is there?
I also found this:
[Guide] Moto G 4G LTE XT1045. Restore To Stock 4.4.3 KK. Explained. but it is also for 4.4.3, not 4.4.4.

I think I found the 4.4.4 retail U.S. dump I needed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55661608&postcount=18
Update: it appears to be only the rom, not the recovery. 8-(

4.4.3 and 4.4.4 recoveries are most likely identical. Cricket's 4.4.4 recovery will probably also work on your XT1045.

I can't find my model though, my stock firmware is:
21.11.56pergerine_reteu.teteuall.en.EU reteu KXB21.14L1.56 ||| XT1039 bought in Sweden, Europe.
Anyone know which Recovery would work for me? I guess the Android 4.4.4 (Retail Europe) KXB21.14-L1.46 CID7 for the XT1039 recovery would work fine? I just want to be sure I can revert And to install the Recovery, all I have to do is pushing and installning the recovery.img via adb&fastboot with the computer as usual?

Gone

As long as the recovery.img is from a 4.4.4 firmware - it will work. Retail EU is your firmware anyway.

A nice gentleman posted the 4.4.4 stock recovery image for me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56205113&postcount=24

you may have downloaded wrong firmware.
And you need to use mfastboot.exe.

Grab one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688 and flash via recovery. Reboot then do the ota!

[Q] Update XT1032 from 4.4.4 USA retail to 5.0?

After many soft bricks I ended up in stock 4.4.4 US retail. Although I did upgrade Motorola Update, it says there's no new system software (5.0).
How do I upgrade from 4.4.4 US retail (stock) to 5.0? Is there an OTA file for US? I already searched everywhere, but can't seem to find it.
I could also go to 4.4.4 stock Brasil or Argentina and then apply the OTA, but right now my phone only boots if I install a firmware via recovery (ZIP file), not flashing it with fastboot. And I couldn't find installable ZIP files for 4.4.4 stock Brasil or Argentina.

I'm not sure if you could get the ota update officially (as in the new software available thing).
You could try out the 5.0.2 version from some other reason or you could check out some custom ROM.

If your phone works on 4.4.4 Retail, it will probably work with Telus 4.4.4. I had GPE 4.4 on my xt1032 8 GB, flashed back to retail 4.4.4, then flashed to Telus 4.4.4, updated Moto apps, got the Telus OTA update to 5.02.

So where can I get this Telus 4.4.4 firmware? Is it flashable from recovery (ZIP)? Remember fastboot flashes don't work since the first time I softbricked my phone.

When you boot your phone into fastboot and you type "fasboot devices", it doesn't return you phone's serial number?
I don't think there is a Lollipop OTA for USA retail yet.

Android 5.0 USA Retail is not officially released. I would suggest audit13's method.

Fastboot does work. It flashes the firmware with no errors, but the phone won't boot afterwards. I don't know why, but it happens since I first softbricked my phone.

I used to have Retail USA 4.4.4 on my Telus xt1032.
If you really want 5.02, you could try flashing the stock Telus 4.4.4, update motorola apps, and install the 5.02 OTA update.

Need help please come here :)

Hello i have Motorola Moto G LTE XT1045 US AT&T ( Unlocked Network WorldWide )

now i want to update it manually
i need install Official stock ROM manually can u help me? please i need full tutorial
it does not have unlocked bootloader and is not rooted
have stock recovery too pleasee

You need to flash a custom recovery.Need to flash the TWRP 2.8.7.0 version and after flash manually the Lollipop stock Rom that is available here.I am giving you a optimized that is bloatware free but the choice is yours!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=14229

I don't think that the at&t model allows bootloader unlocking. If you can't unlock it, then you're stuck on 4.4.4 until they release it for that variant, which hasn't happened yet.

Virgin Mobile Moto g 2015 Marshmallow upadte?

Any one know if the virgin Mobile Moto G will get the Marshmallow Update
If Have to the bootloader unlocked will I get the update?
Do I need stock recovery to use the update?
Can I still Use Twrp if I only boot the Twrp .img and Not FLash it ?
