Cant update Android..

I have a rooted Moto G phone. It is android 4.3 , I cant update it to 4.4.2 Kitkat for some reason.
I saved Kitkat to the SD Card, loaded into Recovery mode on the MOTO, then tried to install Android 4.4.2 from the .zip file
saved on the SD card in my phone.
I cant get this to work and i tried to install CARBON ROM the same way with out any results.. it says ERROR and fails to install.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ALSO does android need to be updated to 4.4.2 to install CARBON ROM?
Thanks

I don't know but maybe can help...
I could update successfully to last minor 176.44.1 update only after flashing stock recovery.img from my exact stock ROM.
after rooting process on KitKat motoG my recovery was modified, restoring the stock one worked for me. I just updated ota normally in WiFi without problems.
after that I flashed cwm recovery.

I restored to stock recovery and removed root. After that applied KitKat OTA, then flashed custom recovery and re-rooted.

this involve wiping of all data and a factory reset, so first try just restoring the stock recovery.
If not working make a good backup first.

If the phone is rooted, OTA updates do not work afaik...

Flashing a ROM overwrites system partition completely. You could have android version 1 running and still just flash another ROM

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.

I did flash it to stock ROM but still it showed signature verification failed and some root error. BTW I still have cwm not the original recovery !!

well apparently you dont clearly read the guides,you cant install official updates with custom recovery, you need everything original stock and no root. read the guides first before posting

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

everything worked perfectly
I flashed recovery as u advised me then did everything which was suggested in the original thread the only problem was recovery stock recovery is pretty tricky thing to open I had to press volume up for 9 sec for 10th sec the power button at the same time and it worked
Thnx everyone I really appreciate it

[Q] TWRP and lollipop

Hello guys,
So, a while ago, I bought my moto g xt1032, I bought a used one, it is rooted, and also has TWRP installed as recovery, I wanted to update my phone to Lollipop 5.0.2 and when I tried it would always go into TWRP menu. I really want to get rid of this and update to the newest software!
Can someone help me? I'm really desperate and I don't want to do anything I'm not sure, so I would rather ask here on what to do due to my inexperience.
Thanks in advance

The first question is since you have root did you modify the system? If you haven't you can unroot and just flash the original recovery but the cleanest way is to backup your data and then flash 4.4.4 all over and then download lollipop and install it normal

You need to replace TWRP with stock recovery and unroot.

[Completed] [Q] help cm 10 bootloop for gts7500

Hey guyz,
I have an issue with flashing cyanogen mod rom. I hav cwm recovery.Flashed zip.
But after flashing zip and rebooting system a white screen fades,I found fix also for that.
Just placing stock boot.img from backup but after doing that also i have a problem.
The mobile boots,samsung.com logo comes out,then gts7500 comes for 5-10sec and the
mobile reboots.Endless loop.i have done flashing it many times,did wipe data/cache and
dalvik cache but still no difference.
But one thing i observed that i am able to flash roms which have same android version ie.
2.3.6 but im unable to upgrade to higher version like 4.2 or 4.4
Tried flashing even slimbean and speedmod rom but same problem.I have an indian firmware.
Current OS is inspiration rom v_18 by kk9999gada..
So guyz anyone have an idea to get out of this bootloop? I badly want to use cyanogenmod
and upgrade its version

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You are probably going to have to start all over and flash the stock firmware in Odin. Also, the version of cwm may have to updated to flash newer roms. But the best place to get help is in your device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace-plus They are the experts on your device.
