Moto G 4.4.3 stock recovery

Hello.
I uploaded 4.4.2 US Retail and automatically updated to 4.4.3. Now I want to do a root through custom recovery. After root, I would like to go back stock recovery for the possibility of future updates. Do you know where to get the 4.4.3 stock recovery? Or will work just as well as those extracted from 4.4.2?
Thanks!

- I'm using the XT1034 and I had PhilZ running on 4.4.3, I was able to flash the stock recovery.img from 4.4.2 and had no problem.

[Q] 4.4 bootloader for CM11

I have a rooted and unlocked RAZR HD running CM11, and I'm having trouble installing updates. The update manager will
FInd new updates (snapshots and nightlies)
Download updates
Reboot into recovery
Try to install the update
before failing. TWRP says that the update file needs a 4.4 bootloader, so I presume that my version of TWRP is out of date. Is there a 4.4 bootloader for the RAZR HD, and if so how can I install it over TWRP?
Thanks in advance,
John

you can flash the kitkat stock rom, not the latest using rsd light, root and flash the recovery again. you must be unlocked im assuming so it will be safe for you.

[Q] How do I upgrade stock 4.4.4 (EU) to 5.0?

I recently soft bricked my phone (Moto G 2013 falcon) downgrading it from Cyanogen 12 to stock 4.4.4 (Argentina), so after many tries I ended up booting in stock 4.4.4 Europe retail (210.12.40.falcon_umts.EURetail.en.EU).
I try to upgrade that to 5.0, but the OTA update fails in the middle of the installation. Then I tried to download the OTA file manually and install it via stock recovery, but it fails too.
Is there any other way? Or do I have to convert it to 4.4.4 stock Brazilian or some other variation with more OTA files available?
Thanks in advance,

Are you unrooted, running stock recovery, and stock ROM?

Yes: unrooted, stock recovery, stock ROM. My bootloader is unlocked though, so I can easily root the phone or change the recovery.
I already tried with a (supposed) official 5.0 OTA for Europe using stock recovery, but it didn't work ("update failed" or so).

I have the Telus xt1032 8GB. Not sure if it runs or you need the same Telus firmware but I was able to flash back to stock 4.4.4, update Motorola apps, and take the OTA update via wifi. I did this three times on my xt1032 in the past 2 weeks without any problems.

From KitKat to Lollipop

Hey guys,
I am currently on the 4.4.4 stock rom with the latest Code Blue kernel (Built 450). In addition my phone has an unlocked bootloader, is rooted, got CWM Recovery and has Xposed installed.
Now I want to upgrade to the latest Lollipop version. I always get the notification "A systemupgrade is available" in the notificationbar.
So my first question is: Can I simply upgrade my phone from a stock KitKat rom with a costum Kernel to Lollipop via OTA?
If not, should I "just" flash the latest Lollipop rom via ADB or CWM?
Thanks, and every answer is appreciated!

No one?

I recommend this
In short, if you are already rooted / unlocked bootloader etc, there is no point in using OTA update.

Flashing new OTA update on rooted MotoG3

Motorola has released new OTA update of 371.4 MB in India.
I read that since I am a rooted user I must not try to flash this update.
I would like the help from xda to install these updates. Should I install stock firmware 6.0.1 first?

Two ways to do it
1. Flash stock ROM 6.0from factory firmware link. Allow ota to download and phone should upgrade to 6.0.1
2. Flash the 6.0.1 stock ROM which is made available in factory firmware link. -Update: 6.0.1 is already the updated system with the new ota of 371mb.
Option 2 is more convenient.
While upgrading to mm 6.0 via ota, on my rooted phone I had tried flashing the stock recovery and cleaning the root. but it did not help and I landed with a soft bootloop. The ota checks for the original fingerprint of the stock system which is why you need to be on stock firmware for the ota update method.

You need stock recovery and stock firmware.
