Verizon announced yesterday they have released the OTA update for 4.4.4 for the Verizon Moto G, 210.12.41.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US. I was wondering if anyone has captured the update yet as mine still says Software is up to date. Even tried the Framework Trick with no luck.

No luck here...there is post over on Android Forums that Verizon users are getting the 4.4.4 OTA update but nobody has posted the captured zip file yet.
Captured Verizon CDMA Moto G 4.4.4 Update Zip
Here's a link to download the new Verizon Moto G 4.4.4 CDMA version of Blur_Version.173.44.20.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US.zip

or
http://www.mediafire.com/download/3q7paotltq951id/Blur_Version.173.44.20.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US.zip
I have not installed it yet as I'm running a Boost Mobile Moto G flashed to Verizon Wireless running on Page Plus that's rooted. I'm waiting to see if someone has completed the update without problems before I try.
If someone attempts the update for a Page Plus flashed Moto G let me know how it goes.

I have a Page Plus flashed Moto G, it's only a backup phone, so I guess I'll be the guinea pig today. I'll let you know if it catches on fire, burns down the neighborhood, kills small fluffy animals, etc.

I am also on cdma Moto G (stock/no root) flashed to Page Plus...I downloaded the captured update zip and put in root of SD but is not detected when I check for system update in settings, still says "software is up to date". Any suggestions?

It was pulled from the /cache folder. If you put in /storage/sdcard0 you may also need to rename to update.zip

Yes please do. My wife's phone is wanting to update since Sunday night.
Seems to work just fine on Page Plus after the update, root works, and nothing has caught on fire yet. Edit: Tested data and calling, both seem to work fine.
Steps to update (this assumes your bootloader is already unlocked and you have cwm recovery installed):
Save the update zip and the cwm flashable supersu zip to your phone.
Boot into cwm recovery and do a backup (assuming you have space on /media/data for a backup.)
Reboot to bootloader.
Restore *just* your system partition to stock with fastboot (using: CFC-fastboot_falcon_verizon_user_4.4.2_KXB20.9-1.10-1.20_22_release-keys.xml.zip)
Boot into cwm again, apply the update zip, then immediately apply the supersu zip.
Boot up normally and let it do its update stuff, then go into titanium backup and kill off any of the verizon bloatware that you don't want.
If you want to get rid of the ugly "WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED IT WILL KILL YOUR FAMILY" boot logo, flash the logo.bin (fastboot flash logo logo.bin) in the attached zip file. It is just a simple hex edit of the logo address in the file header. I've included the original as logo.bin.bak so you can verify it against the original, and compare the two files if you want to see how it's done.

I think you can select "apply update from sdcard" in the recovery mode. No?
EDIT: You flashed to PagePlus. I missed that part. Sorry about that.
I was on a AOSP based rom.
So I flashed back to stock via CFC-fastboot_falcon_verizon_user_4.4.2_KXB20.9-1.10-1.20_22_release-keys.xml.
Booted up once to make sure the the flash went well.
Flashed CWM via bootloader. Tried TWRP first, did not work with the update.zip.
Renamed the zip above to update.zip and flashed via cwm. Worked fine. (yes the zip is 4.4.4)
Before rebooting, went ahead and flashed supersu.zip.
Then rebooted back to bootloader and flashed my preferred recovery, TWRP.
All seems well. This is on PagePlus.
Bout time we get 4.4.4. I'm also using Boost Moto G to Verizon/Page Plus. I will update when I have free time. Thanks for the info, guys.

It sounds like the 4.4.4 update is working fine...the only issue is that there doesn't seem to be a full stock 4.4.4 flash available (like we have for 4.4.2), and from what I can tell from posts (haven't tried this myself), you cannot reflash the full stock 4.4.2 after the 4.4.4 update since the bootloader and/or partitions have changed. There may be some workarounds, but those seem to be for other models or geographies as best I can tell. Once we have the full 4.4.4 flash, then at least you can always revert to that, but it doesn't appear to be released yet.
I've been keeping an eye out for the update OTA. I guess I'd rather just go down that path officially since my phones not rooted and had stock locked bootloader. Just wish it would hurry up and be pushed to my device.

Ota file works it is 4.4.4 update for Verizon Mota G. Download zip to phone power off. Hold down power and volume down for a few seconds release. Once at menu go to recovery. Once in recovery android with exclamation with no options will appear. Press and hold Volume up for 10 seconds continue to hold while now also pressing power button for 3 seconds release. Your in recovery mode select update from zip and proceed. Happy camping with new dialer update camera shots in low lightness and other fixes and features!

Thanks for the instruction. Questions:
(1) My flashed page plus moto-g is on rooted stock rom (with unlocked bootloader of course). Do I still need to restore the system partition back to stock?
(2) What is "CFC-fastboot"? Do you mean
fastboot falcon_verizon_user_4.4.2_KXB20.9-1.10-1.20_22_release-keys.xml.zip
(i.e. no underscore between fastboot and falcon) ?
Thanks!
it's available on OTA now yay

Thank you.
I rooted to gain access to ad block for apps but now with Lollipop the app does not work. So I was thinking of going back to stock. Thanks for your hard work.
Anyone know of a good app that blocks ads?

If I used the one click root method to root my device, can I do re root doing that method again and regain twrp?
Can anyone report how the 10j update is running if it has changed anything for the better or sped up the device I know its for the stagefright patch but there is supposed to be other fixes in it also to speed up things ????

YES, if you flash this Restore Rom or any other rom just follow the right instructions about Root like if you are in 5.1.1 use the LG_LP5.1.1 One Click Root Method in This Thread (Click Here) and follow the instruction for TWRP

about speed i haven't had a performance issue at all since the first 5.1.1 update, so my device still/been snappy since then.
Okay so i updated my phone to the 10j upgrade and also re rooted. Do i need to keep the bootstack zip and the return to stock zip? or can i just delete those zip files?

No need to keep them just do a backup using TWRP to be safe in near tweaks or updates or any mess
I don't have a computer to update to 10j can I use that bootstack.zip with the debloated Rom? Basically can I use that bootstack.zip by itself to update the radio/modem/stagefright?

I tried gametheory's 10j it softbricked my device. I had to use the original LP5.1.1 to get it back. Will flashing your bootstack and v4 debloated together work? I don't have a computer to kdz my way out of it. Will flashing your bootstack put recovery back to stock?
My stock ROM backup is the original 5.0.1 firmware and updated with the LP5.1.1, anything 10j softbricks device and I need to flash the LP update to get it back.

Yes flashing Bootstack+Debloated_v4 work together ,(both are for v10j update)
What you mean anything v10j softbrick?
GT updated the v10j zip a few days ago adding the bootstack+preroot and Is that including my Stock Restore? If you go Stock Restore make sure to have the TWRP img file to flash while still in recovery cuz as soon you leave the recovery without flashing TWRP again youll loose TWRP and need PC to get back...
PS. Wipe Cache+Dalvik after flashing everything.

No, your bootloader will not be locked. There's a setting in developer options called "Enable OEM Unlock" which unlocks the bootloader. There's nothing I wrote in that post that suggests your bootloader will be locked. You will also keep root and twrp if you flash my v10J from that post.

You can flash this TWRP after going back to stock..
twrp-2.8.7.0-10j.img
Found here..
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=33154
TWRP Will flash an image. Just make sure you don't reboot after flashing stock stuff stay in the recovery you won't get back into TWRP if you reboot right away. Also find the supersu zip so you can root.
total noob here
can anyone give me a step by step on how to install stock firmware on the lg ms631 without using twrp? I see threads that say use LG Flash Tool, but it says to select 'CDMA' and this is a GSM phone, so I want to make sure I won't damage it. Thanks for any help you could give me.
Follow those directions, there's nothing wrong with them.
i tried this and ended up in an lg logo bootloop....tried to go into recovery on lg h631 and my only option is a factory reset on this phone... recovery wont even come up..tried that and only get a black screen....it turns off apparently....any help?

Hi All,
I have Moto X play running on android 5.1.1 lollipop. It was rooted recently and used with cyanogen Mod 12.1 for a month. during that time i did back up of entire phone. later i restored that and at present i have been using stock Rom. Recently i got official update for Android marshmallow and i downloaded the 500+Mb file and tried to install. In that process it was going to Twrp recovery mode and not installing properly. So i did reboot system. After 5 mins i turned on mobile, it got shutdown and i again restored my backup . It was working fine. cant we update to Marshmallow with the rooted device? If so how to stop the notifications of android system updates? I tried this way but still i am getting update notification
Apps--> All---> Motorola Update services--> turned off the notification
.How to disable it so that i should not receive update notification? or any other process to upgrade to marshmallow even after rooting? Please let me know

you need stock recovery to update to OTA mm, you cannot update from TWRP. download the lollipop stock-firmware extract the recovery file and flash it, then update.
i wanted to ask that after restoring from backup you got OTA update notification ? or you downloaded the MM update from other sources?? because i thought after rooting i wont get official OTA.

if you have your backup just do a full flash on stock rom and start fresh. there's an Asian 6.0 rom (I believe it is Indian) on the x play github. then proceed with root again.

Sir, Is it possible to unroot the rooted devices in any way? if so could you please let me know
if you want to unroot you can do it from superuser, its mentioned in the youtube video. just unroot from superuser settings.
then if you want to upgrade to marshmallow download Indian stock lollipop rom from https://github.com/motoxplay/stock. unzip it on your computer to the the folder where you kept TWRP while flashing it . you'll see a file named recovery.img.
from adb run the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
i.e flash this recovery just the way you flashed TWRP.
then you can update to marshmallow.
and did disabling google play services removed your update notification???

Just follow the procedure as given in that thread and everything will be fine.
It has nothing to do with the way you rooted your phone.
If a phone has twrp installed, he has nothing to fear about upgrading to latest versions as the updates are made available on Xda in Twrp flashable zip.
So no need to format the stock firmware again and then update and then all the headache.

Sir, In your previous post you meant to say this?
1. First unroot the mobile using the super Su (settings)
2. Then flash the Stock lollipop rom mentioned in the github
3. Then update the mobile to Marshmallow
4. Then again root the device

1. correct
1.1. check oem unlock and usb debugging
1.2. Copy the original old backup which you took, to your external sdcard. [just to return to stock if anything goes wrong]
2. Just flash the recovery which is present in the lollipop rom, no need to flash the whole rom.
3. correct
4. Do NOT flash the old superuser to root. To root again follow these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/root-how-to-root-6-0-easly-t3277202
that other post was much easier

Hi Sir, I followed the other method. downloaded the twrp 6.0 zip from the thread. extracted to sdcard/twrp/backups.
wiped the data, restored that. after that i flashed the Super Su and reboot system. but it was stuck at motorola logo. in that description this will happen if we choose install super su. But i didnt do that.but still stuck at motorola logo.
so again i tried and now with out flashed Super su and downloaded super Su from google play,. getting error binaries cannot be updated. please help me
I've only had two phones prior to this but I have always unlocked the boot loader / rooted the device / installed a custom recovery / installed custom ROMS.
I believe with my MOTO X 1st gen this disabled the OTA updates.
Is that the case with the Honor 8? I'm wondering if it is worth it to install TWRP at this point as there seems to be so little in the way of kernels and ROMS.
Would I still be able to use SU or Xposed modules without Root?
What is the best move with this phone?
I have unlocked my bootloader as well as rooted my Honor 8. The only way to get SU and Xposed is by doing both of these procedures(root involves getting TWRP).
As for any Xposed modules, I tried amplify+greenify but instead of getting better battery life, my standby time decreased significantly. I am not sure why, but for some reason my Cell standby was showing to be eating a ton of my battery. Another big problem was that the dialer app would not let me call anyone, it kept crashing whenever I tried to. Both problems were fixed after I managed to get amplify+greenify uninstalled. Currently I am just running YouTube AdAway and MinMinGuard which seem to work fine.
So at this point, is it worth unlocking bootleader, installing TWRP, and rooting your phone? Well if there are certain Xposed modules that you really want then sure, and if there are certain apps you like that require root, then yes go ahead and root your phone. Note that if you try any OTA updates, you will have to remove TWRP as having your phone automatically restart and try to install the update wont work.
Imagine that the Honor 8 receives an update to say, Nougat, what is the pathway to update for someone who has rooted their phone. Will the OTA be able to be flashed if a .zip is provided here? Would we need to flash an entirely new ROM?
This is what I faced with my MOTO X. When Marshmallow came out there was talk... but no one was working on the at phone any longer so was never able to update.

It doesnt matter whether or not your phone is rooted. You will get updates the same way, through OTA. Of course you can find .zip files to flash(although personally I am struggling to get the latest update flashed through TWRP).
The real question is for how long will we be receiving updates? Nougat is pretty much guaranteed with the new EMUI update. Huawei/Honor has promised up to 2 years of updates from what I have heard, but who knows what that actually means. They have also have a "partnership" with XDA, and the phone is decently popular so I am sure there will be a few roms, just not as many as say a OP3.
Why are people trying to flash via TWRP if the OTA updates still work after rooting and unlocking the boot loader?

Okay so I just figured it out, but for the OTA update to work after rooting and having a non-stock recovery, you need to go to Settings->Updater->Menu(located on the bottom)->Download latest full package.
The full package is ~1.6GB and the regular update is ~280mb. The full package will work even if you have TWRP installed. But if you want the regular 280mb update, you need to get rid of TWRP and go back to a stock recovery.
Of course you will need to reinstall TWRP and root your phone again after doing this update.

I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean you can see the text "Download latest full package" but it is greyed out? If so please check to see if you arent currently at the latest version. If there is another problem, you might want to try to find a .zip of the full package and flash it that way.

The exact latest update that I currently have is FRD-L04C567B150. I am not sure where you got your update but I suggest you just flash back to a complete stock image and try to update again from there.

No I am in the US. I am not sure about the EU version, but yes if you can find a .zip update file just put it on your phone and go into TWRP to install it. Might wanna make a backup too and wipe cache too just in case.
So if i download the full package in update and install it, bootloader will still be open? No full wipe? And later i only need to install twrp and root the phone again?

Updating or wiping your phone does not lock the Bootloader. The only way to lock the Bootloader again is by doing it manually yourself.
Yes after doing a full update you will need to reinstall TWRP as it will be replaced with the stock recovery and then re-root your phone again.
Rakeen70210, you sound really confident about doing full updates after rooting. Will these full updates also replace the kernel?
palendrome87 and NAS420 could you guys report back with any success or errors you have flashing full updates?
Where can one download full updates for Honor 8?

Seeing as how the full update package was ~1.65GB in size, I think its ok to assume that it replaces everything with the stock Honor 8 image. So yes it will replace the kernel too.
For downloading full updates, the only way I got mine was an OTA directly from the phone itself. Look at my previous comments to see how I got this update. If for some reason you cant update, check if your model is ready for an update. If it is and you cant update, try to flash back to a stock image. You should be able to find one on this site or anywhere else.
Flash stock recovery will lock boot loader ?

No, the only way to lock the bootloader is to manually lock it yourself using a similar operation to unlocking it.

I thought the same thing, but after taking the full OTA update my bootloader was locked again. If you want to update I would suggest first making a full backup to the external SD card in TWRP.
Then , its better to download à full update ( update.zip) ,copy to root of the phone , reboot in twrp and flash it ? Anyone already did it ?
Is there a way to install a custom ROM on a LG G5 running stock Oreo? Can the stock firmware be downgraded to one of the stock nougat builds to help with bootloader unlock and TWRP install?

Yes, you can downgrade 30c to 20a, then unlock bootloader and install TWRP.
Is there a guide on how to do this? Thanks
I never found a solution to this and ended up getting a new phone. But that new phone just brokeand I am back to using the LG G5 again.
So now I am looking for a way to downgrade to 20a and the files needed to unlock the bootloader.
Appreciate any help provided.

Hi subaron what version are you on now? If you are on the latest 30C then you need to downgrade to 20A stock ROM first.
You must download the 20A kdz file and flash it with UPPERCUT. Then you enable Developer Options and can follow the info in this thread on how to install TWRP recovery and root. The only thing different from those directions is: instead of SuperSU, install Magisk.
Once you have rooted 20A with TWRP installed, then you copy the 30C COMPLETE .zip to the sdcard, reboot into recovery, and install that and install Magisk once again.
