I am using Moto g (1st gen) Asian version (XT1033) with Android kitkat 4.4.4. When I tried to upgrade to lollipop (Asian sock test) using OTA, it returns an error that my current build is not
Code:
motorola/falcon_asia_ds/falcon_umtsds:4.4.4/KXB21.14-L1.40/34:user/release-keys
but
Code:
motorola/falcon_asia_ds/falcon_umtsds:4.4
History: My moto g originally comes with Android 4.3 and I upgraded to 4.4.4 via OTA(official) update. After release of Lollipop Brazilian OTA, I flashed my device with Brazillian 4.4.4 stock Rom and successfully upgraded to Lollipop 5.0 using OTA. After couple of days I found 5.0.1 (Brazillian OTA) and try to upgrade but for some issues(network) I tried to downgrade to 5.0 and accidentally flash Brazillian 4.4.4 again. As a result my device was soft bricked(Hang on Boot). I managed to fix the brick using Android GPE and successfully installed kitkat 4.4.4(Asian stock edition). After the soft brick I can't flash any other Rom because it failed on gpt.bin and motoboot.img. So i can't upgrade to Lollipop again using Brazillian stock rom. Currently I am using Asian kitkat 4.4.4 stock Rom without any problem.
I checked build.prop file but it shows the exact fingerprint version that Asian lollipop OTA (sock test) asked for. Where is actually the fingerprint file and how can I change it?
Code:
ro.build.description=falcon_asia_ds-user 4.4.4 KXB21.14-L1.40 34 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=motorola/falcon_asia_ds/falcon_umtsds:4.4.4/KXB21.14-L1.40/34:user/release-keys

Finally I figure out the problem. Custom recovery or other recovery except stock ROM can't update lollipop OTA. You have to flash the recovery of stock ROM. After flashing the stock recovery (4.4.4) everything is working just fine.

Here's the scenario:
I converted Moto G XT1033 4.4.4 to GPE 4.4.2
Then upgraded to GPE 4.4.4 and GPE 5.0.1, both by OTA
GPE 5.0.1 OTA ended up in softbrick
So now I cannot repeat the process beacause of the new bootloader, GPE 5.0.1 OTA brought with itself. And that bootloader would cause a hardbrick if I tried GPE 4.4.4 OTA on the device now
Questions: (No question is related to the other)
Would I be able to install Stock Lollipop OTA when I get one on 'Stock rom'? (I can revert to Stock 4.4.4) Would Stock Lollipop OTA mess up with the current bootloader, GPE Lollipop OTA has installed?
Is there any way I could flash Lollipop Stock image later, when it's available?
What can I do to set things right with the 'bootloader messup' that's caused right now?
Thanks, in advance!

You are another who has made a stupid mistake, you should HAVE READ MY THREAD!
You need to wait untill the Lollipop Factory images are published, then we can get a blankflasher and restore your bootloader.
Once your bootloader is working again, you can flash Lollipop without problems.
You need to wait 1 or 2 months.

Nope. I did read your thread after softbrick. And that's why I didn't install any OTA's after v5's.
I flashed 4.4.4. It's not an OTA!
I'm currently running 4.4.4 on 5.x bootloader.
Now what I'm asking is,
Would I be able to install 5.x OTA when I get it?
Before the factory image and all that thing.
PS: 5.x hasn't arrived for general public in INDIA yet. What I was trying was Brazil OTA.
I used 4.4 stock recovery to update from 5.0.1 to 5.0.2 , but i failed. the error message said that you have 4.4.4 kitkat installed. nevermind, i flashed 4.4.4 and updated via OTA to 5.0.2
Since there is no recovery image in ota of 5.0.2 , does anyone know how to take recovery backup in moto G ? @bharat_goku [MENTION]Gio\/\/anni[/MENTION] , your help is appriciated
Hi,
I have two Moto G 2013 XT1033 Dual Sim and for both of them - i dont care about losing data and reinstalling - I want to get to a 100% STOCK 5.0.2 state. Dont need root or customer boot.
No 1) Upgraded from 5.0.1 Soak Test Brazil - 220.21.25.falcon_umtsds.Brasil.en.BR, no root, stock bootloader > to 5.0.2 using the incremental ZIP that was provided in some of the recent posts here.
Will I be getting automatic OTAs from now on? Is this equivalent to stock flashing 4.4.4. an then OTAing up to 5.0.2?
No 2) Optimized non-stock firmware 4.4.4, with bloatware reduced etc. dont remember who made the ROM - also Retail, but bootloader unlocked and have root
What is the best approach to this one to a stock 5.0.2, no-root, locked bootloader, is there just a single binary stock 5.0.2 file that I can flash?
Should I downgrade both to 4.4.4 Stock and then upgrade via OTA?
I know for (1) there exists an incremental update, how safe is this?
For (2) the OTA arrived, but as its an optimized ROM the update does not work.
I know all the information is somewhere here, I just was confused what path is safe and if its not possible to simply flash some binary recovery (ideally already to 5.0.2)
I think you should back to 4.4.4 than upgrade to 5.0.2
For back to stock 4.4.4 you can use this

One of my malware protection tools rejected the untouched brazil 4.4.4 download. Where do I find the original files and confirmed hashes?
i, i installed asian rom 5.0.2 but it considered my phone as a dua sim and it was very annoying, so i decideted to come back to gpe (originally was gemarma retail), so i installed via fastboot 4.4.2 and i update by official ota update to 4.4.4, but when it was installing it the screen turned off and now the phone doesn't boot up, neither the bootloader.. why? what can i do to fix it?
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.
