sorry if this is a stupid question, but if i've already unlocked the bootloader, and installed root and recovery but i didnt change/modify the original/official ROM 4.4.4 from my moto G, in order to get the lolipop update, i just need to install the original "stock" recovery or i will need to flash everything (firmware/radio/originalrom, etc) again? thanks in advance folks, im just new with moto g.

If you have stock recovery and unmodified system you should be fine with the ota, when it comes.

Listen to mw, if you dont wanna have trouble with the ota, flash entire firmware! Do that and you will see there will be no problem... Restore entire firmware before updating via ota.

Afaik you can also use CWM to update

Oh ok, well i guess i will have to do that, my motog is the dualsim type XT1033, i bought it on amazon, i asume it is the "brazilian" one nor the asian , but it would be any problem if it happens to be the asians one? or there is any different between these two? i guess i did the wrong thing (unrooting and install a custom recovery) days before loli pop update T_T
I guess the OTA notification still will show up even if it's recovery was modified

I guess the question is answered so we can close this one

I didn't get root. I flashed with CWM but ir doesn't root.
Did you maybe delete root when leaving cwm? After rooting it asks you if it should unroot the system, maybe you clicked yes. Go into cwm again, flash your root ZIP, reboot and when it asks to disable recovery flash say yes, if it asks to unroot, say no.

How to unroot stock 4.4.4 ?

Hello. Sorry for the silly question.
I am currently on 4.4.4 stock (XT1033) ,rooted with cwm. I have taken a backup of stock image via cwm before installing Super Su.
My question is how do I unroot the device ?
What happens when I restore stock img via cwm ? Will it unroot ?
Thanks.

Just for informational purpose. Do you know how to unroot?
I seem to remember that Super SU has an option for that.

Hello, i was following this thread 'cause i am interested in getting the OTA update (from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 ) . The reason is that i don't want to lose any data by flashing same firmware or new one when it will be availiable, and via OTA i would keep everything as it is now.
If i do unroot my moto g as you told before, will I be able to get the OTA update?
EDIT: I've decided to unroot via SuperSU , full and clean unroot option, and still it is uninstalling after some mins, shall I power off the moto g?

My Moto G cannot update to Blur_Version.172.44.4.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US

My Moto G is running KitKat 4.4.2. System version is 172.44.4.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US
Bootloader unlocked. I received an OTA update to Version.172.44.4.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US. I download and install it. However, it keeps saying "Error" while installing.
Could anyone help me with that problem?
Big thanks.

Are you rooted?
This is exactly the error I encountered back then, when my phone still ran 4.4.2. It was rooted and no way I could manage to install the 4.4.4 OTA update. Maybe you can flash 4.4.4 manually. Your phone is XT1032, isn't it?

[Q] Help with root.

Hey, so i want to root my Moto G XT1033 16GB dual SIM running android 5.0.2.
I've bricked a smarthone before while trying to root it, so i want some help to root my phone the safest way possible. My warranty has already expired.
Obs: my phone is from brazil, i'm not sure if that changes anything.
I've attatched a screenshot if any other info is needed.
If you have a custom recovery installed you can flash it from there. Go here and grab SuperSU and follow the instructions.

You must unlock the bootloader before flashing a custom recovery otherwise it will not install
And do no download twrp for moto g from twrp's official site, it still have bugs

You can unroot and update via OTA but when you have a unlocked bootloader OTA's are always risky.
Just download latest ROM for your phone and flash it, instruction are also given and is pretty easy and safe.

No. Just start flashing according to the instruction. Root is a system level thing and does not interrupt in flashing. You have to root again after flashing unless it is a pre-rooted rom.
But as you are upgrading first flash stock motorola rom whichever is latest.

Ok thanks... So just to be sure (sorry im just a noob xD)
I download lastet ROM from my phone.
I flash it with TWRP?
Phone will be formated and all apps will be deleted rigth?
Will be like a phone with stock data?
I Downloaded lastest room from my phone, its 750MB.
And one last question, if i use the option to "Restore fabric configuration" is the same as installing a ROM?
Thanks again and sorry for all the questions

Look you can do flashing and upgrading in more than one way.
Just follow this link and do exactly what it says: If you have any question PM me, I will gladly help.
Also by flashing this way your recovery will be replaced by stock recovery and you have to reflash TWRP.
Your phone will be completely stock and all data will be erased.
Note:
Read very carefully before doing anything.
Also download correct rom for your device. The model no. should match.
