OK, just figured out I cant update OTA without Cyanogen Recovery...
What would be the best way to reinstall Cyanogen Recovery? This way I can OTA and then reinstall TWRP...
Just get the recovery from the stock images and flash it with fastboot.

I believe someone uploaded it in the thread for the latest update in our general section, a search of that thread should uncover it.

Use the stock recovery. You can also flash the entire stock image. So you'll always be able to take ota's

Here is a guide for how to setup ADB http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/ which is the hardest part for most users imo. The flashing is as @jd1639 says.
Is there anyway of flash a future offical firmware update (4.4.1 for example) with the twrp in the same way that a custom rom? Is there any official web where download the official firmware?

Not the official Google image as it will not install on a modified system, a modded one might be possible. But whats the point, might as well have a deodexed custom rom then.
If i install the stock rom the stock recovery will back too?

Yes, contains everything. Backup files first as it will wipe your device.
But can i restore only the recovery and not all the stock rom?

1. Setup adb if you haven`t, see for the link my previous post above for how to
2. Download factory image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
3. Extract the downloaded image with 7-zip and then extract image-hammerhead-krt16m once and in the folder you find the recovery.img file
4. Flash that file in fastboot with the command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and after that type fastboot erase cache and reboot. That`s it.

Look in the TWRP thread, TWRP has an option to flash OTA`s and keep root. Don`t know if it also applies for the Moto G yet. You can receive an OTA but you can`t install it directly when you have a custom recovery installed.

Allright. And if i alrdy flashed CWM, can i just "overflash" it with a TRMP image or any other Stock Recovery image via fastboot?
Thanks for your help!

Look in the CWM thread too, maybe it has the OTA flashing option too. Yes, you can overwrite a custom recovery with a new custom recovery but also in cmd type: fastboot erase cache after you flash a new recovery.

Well i haven`t rooted my Moto G myself, but if the OTA flash option is not available in CWM/TWRP you have to flash a stock image to get the OTA or flash a KK based custom rom.

Can i stay on the Infusion Rom too?

No, OTA`s can only be installed on a stock rom, kernel and recovery. If anything is altered or vital system components deleted the OTA will not install.

Is it possibly to install the update via CWM? Install from zip. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600914)
4.4.2 just uploaded here.
So today I saw that the 12.1 update is downloaded and asking me to install it. But, when I do try installing it the screen is stuck at the Cyanogen Recovery.
The usual options in recovery screen are displayed, why isn't the OS updating?
FYI - My OPO is rooted and also has TWRP recovery installed. I also tried disabling the Update Cyanogen Recovery option but the same option.
Any assistance would be great

You can't flash the OTA with TWRP recovery. You can either flash the stock recovery and then install the OTA, or you can download the full ROM zip and flash that with TWRP.

You don't need to be a techie to know that the updates must be taken in order. Go to Settings>About Phone, take screenshots of the info there and post here so I can see please.

You're on the right version. The zip must be getting corrupt during the download or something.

Assuming that you at least have stock os on the device you can install Samsung Kies on a pc, plug the device in and use Kies to restore your os to stock.
Note: This will not hide the fact that you have altered your phone and your warranty will still be invalid.
As I am new to the forum I am unable to post a link so my recommendation is to google "reinstall stock rom kies".
Good Luck.
