[Q] Official (not manual) lollipop OTA on unlocked moto g xt1033

So, the situation is I have moto g xt1033 with :- unlocked bootloader, rooted, stock rom 4.4.4 kitkat (i mean no custom rom). and fastboot flash mode 41.13 2014-06-16 and philz touch 6 clockworkmod v6.0.4.7
I want to know how to update to lollipop with official OTA update (not manually or sideloaded)?
Why I am asking this?
I got the prompt of official OTA available on my phone and then i clicked yes and downloaded the update. But when i clicked on install, it went in bootloop. It boots on the philz recovery mode and then nothing happens just restart again whatever i select.
As of now, as I backed up, I recovered to the before state of the phone. Do I need to lock the bootloader again or what? The official OTA update is not for me? Then how to get lollipop? I read the soak test etc threads but why not official update ?

Locking the bootloader won't do anything,so don't lock it
Ota update requires:
1.Stock firmware(unmodified and unchanged or tampered)
2.unrooted
3.Stock recovery
That probably happend becuZ your KitKat firmware was modified and you have custom recovery,root..
So just reflash the stock firmware
Do that on your own risk as failing this might brick your phone
Thank me if I helped

Thanks mate for reply.
1. I have stock firmware KK 4.4.4 (though xposed framework & few modules are installed currently)
2. Rooted
3. What is stock recovery? (m noob here)
And i guess reflashing the stock firmware wipes out all user data & apps, right?
Any other alternative which does not wipes out my data?

Actually there is no other way you could do it
i tried everything i could to stop the wipe procedure but it obviously wiped everything
you just backup everything you have got on your internal and external sd card ..
1.Stock Recovery:: Android devices come with Google’s recovery environment, which is often referred to as the “stock recovery.” You can boot to the recovery system by pressing device-specific buttons as your phone or tablet boots or by issuing an adb command that boots your device to recovery mode. The recovery menu provides options to help recover your device — for example, you can reset your device to its factory default state from here. The recovery mode can also be used to flash OTA update files.
2.Custom Recovery::A custom recovery is a third-party recovery environment. Flashing this recovery environment onto your device replaces the default, stock recovery environment with a third-party, customized recovery environment. This is a bit like flashing a custom ROM like CyanogenMod — but, instead of replacing your device’s Android operating system, it replaces the recovery environment.
what you have to do is:
Find the Kitkat official update on the internet accrouding to your [Build number],[model number] [system version] you can get this information in about phone....
If you have asia retail then follow this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700502

ok Here what i am planning:
1. Uninstall all modules & xposed framework
2. Unroot using supersu
3. Restore/reflash stock recovery (just recovery not whole firmware as I already have stock rom)
4. Install the update either manually via recovery or using auto install.
Am i on right path? Pls help me on step 3, any link or step-t-step guide? I couldn't find one, every post is abt restoring whole firmware.
TIA. Cheers !!

Hi!
I have the same problem, ever since i think when upgrading from kitkat to lollipop.
My model XT1033 - Bootloader 41.18 - Rom 12.1-20150815-NIGHTLY-falcon (latest official nightly)
I don't have any solution. I've been using a third-party uninstaller apk that allows just deleting the app's files instead of going through the normal package manager system.
Any advice appreciated
EDIT: I think this problem is the same as http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/2-problem-remove-app-systeme-crash-t3070609/ .

i got solution

But i want to use Lollipop (CM12.1), is this still possible with a KK bootloader?

yes get twrp recovery u can install any rom

I've had this problem when I flashed from 4.3 to 5.1.1 AOSP
Security tab in Settings was crashing too
I solved this problem when I flashed stock Lollipop, did first setup, wipe cache/dalvik... (factory reset in TWRP recovery), flashed 5.1.1 AOSP

Use the correct kernel for ROM , Where make changes ( Install ROOT , flashing ZIP , Change Components of ROM) , always use Clear ALL / Factory Reset
And always use updated versions of ZIPs (Kernel , Firmware, Root , ETC .. )

[Q] Xperia L Lollipop

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

Unable to get OTA Updates installed on TWRP - Need to go back to stock recovery

Hi All,
Background:
Installed TWRP recovery to downgrade to KitKat from Android ver 5.0.2 / COS 12.0 YNg1TAS17L
( I guess the changes in lollipop made me to do so).
But after installing TWRP, for some reason or other I did nothing and now the issue is the OTA are not getting installed. From other similar thread I know that we can download the OTA zip and install through TWRP and I am not looking to get into that...as I am giving this device to my family.
Help Required:
1) Is there a way to uninstall TWRP and go back to stock recovery without losing any data?
( Is it as simple as flashing recovery image from the Stock ROM?)
2) Using the OnePlus tool kit can we flash the stock ROM which will also restore the stock recovery?
(If so is it possible to flash the latest ROM 5.1.1 or CM12.1)
I just need guidance here with steps on what will be the best and safe approach without frying up my device.
Please suggest

Numerous other threads on the same subject... I don't understand why you are not ready to flash the OTA through TWRP but you are through stock recovery... It's the same thing... Don't use toolkit, they are the ones, in 99% of the cases, that "fry" your phone... As soon as TWRP is installed no OTA will automatically, you will have to flash them manually.

Flash CM12.1 on Xperia Z3 D6616 T-Mobile with Unlocked Bootloader?

Hello guys,
I bought a Xperia Z3 D6616 (T-Mobile variant) with an unlocked bootloader, I want to install custom roms on it, and I need just a little bit of your time to point me to the right direction of how I can achieve that please.
Here is what I've done :
1 - I downloaded TWRP 3.0.2-2 for Xperia Z3, and I installed it using Fastboot :
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp3.img
2 - I downloaded the latest nightly CM12.1 rom + Gapps for 5.1.1 and I flashed them using TWRP successfully.
3- I booted the phone, it works great, but I have 2 main issues :
--> The baseband is "unknown" so Sim card is not detected, and the IMEI is null.
--> When I go to the settings and press "Security" I get the error message : "Unfortunately settings has stopped working"
I've tried to re-install CM12.1 again using the "boot.img" file that we find inside the rom's zip file instead of TWRP 3, which is a CWM recovery, but still the same issue. I even used Flashtool to flash the baseband only using my Stock D6616 rom, but the baseband is still unknown, I don't know why!
Then I installed other custom roms, like Marshmallow eXistenZ, or SLiMM etc.. but I always get stuck at the rom's Logo animation for ever.
Can you please give me a solution for flashing any custom rom successfully? I'm stuck on LP 5.0 for ever..
