4.4.3 OTA for VZW - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been scouring the net trying to find this OTA, most sites link to sbf.droiddevelopers.org (which doesn't seem to work anymore)
Does anyone have a copy of Blur_Version.14.14.14.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US

Maybe you can find the entire ROM here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=1

I was only able to find 4.4.4 and 4.3 on that site. Unfortunately Sunshine force closes on 4.3 and afaik it just straight up doesn't work on 4.4.4 (someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).
Never mind was able to unlock my bootloader

I was on 4.4.3 stock. I had to use the legacy version of Sunshine though, it worked without any issues.

debranding tesco, is it worth it?

I read it's pretty easy to go from tesco to UK retail 4.3 my question is..... is it worth bothering and will I still get the OTA KitKat or have to put it on manually?
I see some say it will upgraded OTA but are they really guessing? because don't want to unlock the bootloader yet.

if your going to flash the retail 4.3 uk image you might as well just flash the US GSM kitkat image like many from the uk have
including my self as its the same process and all works as it should, or wait a week for official update

I would suggest following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159 to update your firmware then flashing a 4.4.3 ROM or if you want the full, stock, update, follow these instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ent/ruu-m8vzw-4-4-3-s-off-onlynewest-t2873144
you should be S-off first, of course

S-Off using Firewater (might not work) OR Sunshine (should work but costs $25) http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...rning-discussion-4-4-3-root-unlock-s-t2874365

The update is being sent over the verizon phone networks wireless system.
Since you are not in a country that has verizon wireless you do not have access to the update direct from the phone issuer and will have to use alternative means.
You can try "weaksuace / Firewater combo" but this method seems to only work with the first batch of M8 sold by verizon.
You can try "Sunshine" which is a paid app that will unlock and S-off your phone, success rate to my knowledge is 100%
After successfully completing one of the above you will need to comeback and read the M8 Dev section thread for installing the new firmware, then read the section for installing Stock Rooted 4.4.3 rom or whatever 4.4.3 based rom you like.
Just remember all 4.4.3 based roms require the updated firmware first.
Weaksauce / Firewater combo and Sunshine alternatives were developed by the same dev, you find his directions, discussions and links to his tools and app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699091

About OTA updates now that root has been released.

Hey all,
I immediately blocked any OTA updates since I got my G4 in anticipation for root.
I have three questions
Do the AT&T OTA updates have that anti-rollback feature? I didn't see it confirmed in the thread regarding the anti-rollback but I'm not sure if the info is current.
Is the latest OTA for AT&T the 10g version? Should I enable OTA on my LG G4 now to get it prior to rooting?
Thanks.
So far as i know..no anti-rollback features..
As stated of some members here, latest ota updates doesn't affect rooting...for now

10g is the latest as of yesterday (before I rooted and blocked OTA). If you absolutely can't wait for root, then unfreeze the update apps and get the 10g OTA. If you're on 10e, there's a strong likelihood that you will softbrick your phone if you try to flash the rooted system.img (at least a couple people already did). If you can wait a couple of weeks, just hang tight and wait for codefire to release their one-click unroot since we still don't know about rolling back the bootloader or future unlockability of the 10g bootloader.
I'm on 10g and rooted. I have no intention of running a non stock rom on this device, so blocking updated with Tit back up now, removing bloat and coasting with what I've Got till we find out about a method for custom recoverys yet.
Could someone link me to the thread on how to disable the OTA function? I remember seeing it, but can't find it.

Can you or someone else please list the app(s) that need to be frozen in order to block updates? Thanks in advance.

Help for Downgrading to Kitkat

Any way to downgrade to Kitkat 4.4.4?
Thanks
Mod Edit:
Thread closed at OPs request.
You can downgrde by using Flashtool by @Androxyde and flash 4.4.4 ftf for your model but you will loose your data because of lollipop ART. If you need a ftf i can upload one for you

Thanks. I'm not going to flash it right now, but I'll need latest version of Kitkat available for D2302. I'll get my hands on a PC in a week, then I'll flash the phone.
I have one question though.
After downgrading through flashtool, will my phone be able to recieve OTA? (in case they decide to release fix for camera) Or will I have to flash again for update?
And I saw that some people were saying they had good camera after lollipop, May I know what did they do?

Yes, after downgrading you will be able to OTA upgrade to lollipop but I think OTA won't work if you have an unlocked bootloader. And i don't know how people with a good camera quality have do this.

Thanks! I have an unlocked bootloader. I'll definitely flash Kitkat now.
Hi,
Could anyone please upload latest stock Kitkat 4.4.4 ftf for D2302 India?
Is there any difference between different countries ftf? Like FM frequency, etc.
And one last question, Can I flash stock Sony ftf with Locked Bootloader? And will it still be able to get official updates?
Thanks

T-Mobile Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 (Switched from AT&T) - Stuck on 4.2.2

How can I update my firmware ?
I tried doing it on the phone but there is a error .
I'm willing to try to root it if I have to but I'm looking for the easiest way .
I downloaded Kies, and it says my phone is on the latest firmware 4.2.2.

Only goes up to 4.2.2, existence is pain
Is there anyway to go up to at least 4.3 or 4.4 ?
This is the international S4 forum, so information and support for your S4 will be limited here. Read through the threads in the AT&T S4 forums, which you can access from the thread I linked to. There should be a thread there with the Android version you seek.

If you ever plan on using custom ROMs on it, then don't update.
Updating may make it impossible for you to root or flash anything other than Samsung firmwares on it.
You can try custom ROMs. Pokémon Go works fine on them too.
