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

Here ist what i have experienced:
I was on System Version: 181.46.3
Well nevertheless:
It was the most recent version i could get and i wanted to get back to Android L.
I installed CM12 the Following way, I had a lot of problems with that. So here is my experience and everything:
So you need to know, to install CM12 or other CM12 based ROMS you first need to have CM11 installed.
Newer Versions of the recovery might be having problems installing CM11, so i would recommend using PhilZ Touch Recovery. It was working for me.
1st: install PhilZ recovery
2nd: factory reset
3rd: install cm11 (Unified Build, due to no up-to-date-build for XT925)
4th: boot
5th: install latest TWRP XT925/TWRP XT926
6th: factory reset
7th: install CM12 XT925 / CM12 XT926 or other CM12 based ROM
8th: install Gapps
9th: wipe cache/dalvik cache
10: Boot
11: Have fun.
Possible problems:
"This package is for moto_msm8960, xt907, scorpion_mini, smq, xt926, vanquish, this is a xt925" ------> You got a problem with the Recovery, it is too new. Try PhilZ
CM12 Booting, inconsistent Data partition stuff error ---------> you did not install cm11 and did not wipe Data before installing CM12, when coming from Blur Rom
Bootloop ---------> no wiping or you did not install cm11 before installing CM12
I hope this might have helped you.

Heyho
I have an XT925.
I installed the msm8960 Build.
The Reason i used the unified Build was, there is no KKBL build for the xt925.
thanks again, onto the procedure now
just last thing, which version of philz recovery you installed, download link has latest one @esok44

If you come frome OTA Kitkat 4.4.2
you have to change Step 1st: install PhilZ recovery ------ to ------ Install TWRP2710-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT.img instead then you can flash the CM 11
If you like philz_touch_6.58.7-moto_msm8960.img recovery (it can mount external Memory Card as USB) you can flash it after all installations after Point 11. The only thing that you cannot start directly to recovery from CM 12.1
Hello,
I keep trying to update to the latest nightly to get cyanogenmod 12 on XT1302. However they don't work. I get weird scan lines, even during the boot logo and animation. Everything is slow and unstable. During installation it always says root access possibly lost, fix, yes or no. Thankfully I have a working backup, but it's stuck on an old 2014 cm 11 snapshot and I want to upgrade
I suspect there is a problem with gapps since I get incessant "X app has stopped working error" messages and it's always a google service. However I do not know what the procedure is. I downloaded the cm12 gapps and flashed them after flashing the nightly as said in faq but it doesn't seem to work. Sometimes even Trebuchet stops working, making the phone totally unusable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :good:
Are you running with a lollipop bootloader? I think the latest CM12 requires it.

I've been googling this and I think you have correctly identified the issue. If I install the lollipop bootloader, will I be able to go back to my cm11 backup in case of an emergency?
Just to confirm, to update the bootloader, you have to flash the brazil lollipop rom and it should work?
If you unzip the stock ROM, the bootloader is the motoboot.img file.
I don't think you need to flash everything, just the bootloader file. If that doesn't allow you to use CM12, you may have to restore your CM11 nandroid and then flash CM12.
Hello Guys,
Need your help. Please help me out here.
My wife has a Sony xperia L which is still running Android 4.1.2 version. Now I rooted it with Root kit and tried flashing various Lollipop Roms like Cm12,primexperia and resurrection. But wifi does not work on all these Roms
I have tried almost every solution available on Xda.
I have used multiple custom recovery, N number of kernals and have flashed Boot.img and Thunderzap 4.16 from recovery after flashing the Roms. Still not luck.
Steps followed for flashing the Rom
1.Rooted with Rootkit and updated Supersu binary
2.Installed Busy box with Flashtool
3.Flashed a kernal (Tried TZ 4.14,4.7,4.8 Extended stock kernal and some more)
4. Booted to recovery ( Tried Cwm, TWRP, Philz)
5. Wipe data and all for clean installation
6. Flashed Rom zip (Cm12, Omni 4.4, Primexperia, Resurrection)
7. Flashed Gapps (As per the Rom)
8. Flashed Supersu zip to regain root access
9. Reboot to boot into new Rom
10. Wifi is not working so flashed boot.img from Rom via flashtool
11. Flash TZ 4.16 in recovery for cm12 ROMS.
Still wifi not working not sure what is the issue. It's working fine in Stock Rom.
Now I am upgrading to 4.2.2 via Sony update software.
Masters please help me out here. I can think of 2 solutions now.
1. First update to latest Sony official update (4.2.2) and then try again.
2. If there is any firmware file for stable lollipop version (with system.img, data.img and boot.img) which can be flashed using flashtool.

number 1. is correct the 4.1.2 software uses a really old modem that isnt compatible with LP based roms... The LATEST stockrom (...1.17 4.2.2) has the correct modem to make the wifi work

Hey, so i formatted the boot partition by accident today and could not boot anymore.
I was on a 5.1.1 Custom ROM before that. So i googled a bit and found a fix by flashing the Stock Firmware. Downloaded a 4.4.4 Stock Firmware here (RETAIL-DE) and flashed it using the commands here (as described in 3b). The second command failed with "Preflash validation failed". I believe thats because i had bootloader version 4.1.19 already and its not possible to flash an older one over that.
After that i could boot the phone again into the Stock Android 4.4.4. So i wanted to go back to an Lollipop or Marshmallow ROM. Using fastboot i flashed the latest TWRP Recovery and used it to flash a Custom ROM. I've tried several ROMs but every ROM results in an bootloop. Also tried using TWRP 2.6.0.0 and 2.7.0.0, but it didnt change sth.
I hope someone can help me solving this issue. Thanks.
You should probably full-flash the latest original Motorola firmware (GPE 5.1 or stock 5.0.2) before putting TWRP and custom roms based on Android L or M.
