[Q] Issue updating from 17L - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, iam trying to update my bacon from 17L to the latest firmware. But I can't update officially, since iam running a custom recovery.
So I downloaded the incremental update from xda, and when I tried to flash it I got an error (see attachment)
Any help will be appreciated

According to my phone iam running 17L, why does the recovery mention my phone on 4.4.2??

The error I receive while flashing through system update

fixed by flashing the whole rom instead of the incremental update.

[Q] CM11S before OTA update?

Looked through both dev subsections and can not find an offical release of CM11S before the 4.4.4 OTA update. Was wondering if anyone knows where it can be downloaded to go back to before the update. Thank you.
This is the zip i used to flash trough stock recovery.
Its the official 25R version signed by CM

Note : When i flashed this over the 30o update my trebuchet crashed all the time to fix this simply factory reset after update !

Upgrading to 4.4.3

Hi,
I have been trying to update my phone to 4.4.3 but not very successful so far. I'm using custom Android HD ROM 7.0 by Mike. I tried flashing stock recovery then applying the OTA update that I found in this thread. However, my phone stays 4.4.2 after flashed. I am using T-mobile on a Verizon phone and don't get any OTA notification either, so I was trying to flash it manually. Help!

have you looked in the hboot and verified the radios are updated?

The OTA will only succeed if your phone has pure stock. The OTA is not a full ROM but a patch system that builds upon previous content already on the phone. If you want to take the OTA, you must flash full stock first.

People i know haven't even unlocked their bootloader
But can't update?
me too, have the same problem.
I'll just flash the 4.4.4 EU image for my XT1032...
and I'll do the same thing for when lollipop comes around
Its look like you must reset factory then direct updating your firmware..
have you unroot and relocked your bootloader?
Try restoring to stock: Flash 4.4.3, go to stock recovery and try to make the update search, if this is not working do a clean flash (wipe cache+userdata) and try to update, some time ago i noticed that cannot update the firmware of my 4.4.2 because the cmw recovery, then wiped cache and intalled stock recovery and everything went fine
To receive OTA updates device should be only on stock recovery no cmw, no twrp. Try to install stock recovery with fresh stock rom, and remember to enable any disabled system apps (if any) like Motorola services, Motorola OTA, then only you will able to receive and install updates....
You need the stock recovery

[Q] Help Req: Updating Rooted/CWM MotoG to Lollipop

Hi,
I have a UK Moto G (2013) running 4.4.4 KitKat and I installed CWM recovery and rooted it some time ago. Now they are pushing out Lollipop OTA I am getting nagged by the phone to update - but, it always fails when I try. Presumably this will be because of the CWM and/or root. I tried a full unroot but that didn't help as CWM kept complaining on the upgrade reboot about something (can't remember what now!). I've read that in order to get the OTA update to work, I have to get the phone completely back to stock, but I can't find a working stock recovery for it. Do I have to take it back to stock or not ? Either way, would anyone know how I can get the OTA update to work please ?
I've tried flashing a couple of stock recoveries, but one fails to flash at all and the other doesn't work - you choose recovery and it just reboots the phone.
At the moment it's back to rooted, unlocked bootloader and CWM recovery.
Any help you could offer would be very gratefully received.
Thanks!
Are you able to locate the phone's from here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=1

can i update a rooted device?

my device is currently rooted and i just recieved an update from samsung. i am using a super kernel v1.4 and i would like to update to the lastest version which requires this update from samsung. can i update my device ota or must i download the firmware from sammobile and reflash everything then install everything else again. if i am able to update the phonr ota can i also just flash the new kernel to replace the old one? i want a clean install.
OTA won't work on a custom device (Rooted / Kernel / Recovery), I'm surprised you even got the notification for an update tbh
You'll have to update manually when the firmware arrives as a flashable ROM
