Okay, I'll start with the problem. After a few days I flashed the Moto G GPE Firmware using MotoTool, from the xda forums. Everything was great, but I downloaded a ROM (Paranoid Android), made a Backup, and flashed it as usual. When the phone booted, an encryption unsuccessful message popped up. I rebooted into recovery and restored my last backup. I saw in xda that the problem was probably generated by using the GPE version, so today I downloaded my stock firmware, flashed it, but the phone got stuck on the logo. Tried the same with another firmwares, and still got the same problem. I rebooted into the Bootloader, flashed TWRP, flashed the PhilZ GPE recovery, sideloaded PA again, got the same problem. Flashed CarbonROM (after doing every wipe and stuff), and got the same message. Tried CM11, didn't worked. But the problem is...
How can I correctly flash my original firmware if it's not working? I need to go back to the "normal" Moto G, so I can flash ROMs and stuff.
Bump
Please, close thread
Finally fixed it flashing the 4.4 US Retail. I was trying to flash the 4.3 US Retail, from the GPE Firmware, and it wouldn't work because the gpt.bin command always failed.
Please, close thread.
Hi,
the title says it all:
How can I apply the 5.0 OTA update on a rooted, unlocked Moto G XT1032 with CWM recovery?
I don't care about root anymore and I have used SuperSU to unroot the phone.
But in order to apply the update I need to install the stock recovery, otherwise the device will get stuck in a bootloop.
How do I do this? I have tried using MotoToolAIO and its "Flash Stock Recovery KitKat" button but get a
Code:
hab check failed for recovery
message every time I try.
Could you guys please tell me how to get the stock recovery installed on this phone? As I said I don't care about losing root and I don't mind relocking the phone if necessary. I would really appreciate any pointers you can give me. Possibly without losing my data & apps. Thank you.
This page apparently is supposed to contain all those stock files but it is broken: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
This manual seems to be helpful for similar cases, it did not help me, though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Download the stock 4.4.4 ROM for your phone, extract the recovery.img file, and flash it using fastboot commands.
You also need to be unrooted with the stock Motorola apps.

If you think that solves the proble, well...yes. But where do I find that file? As I indicated the only possible source seems to be unavailable currently. I can't find any other.
Does anyone here have an XT1032 DE singleSIM recovery image lying around?
As I am currently living in South Africa and internet is not reall stable it would be amazing if someone could offer just the recovery file instead of the whole 500-600MB dump.
I have a Canadian xt1032 running stock Telus 4.4.4 firmware. Not sure if that recovery would work but I could find it if you want to try it.
Don't forget to unroot too.
I unrooted too using SuperSU and managed to restore the stock recovery using MotoTool (find it on XDA). These are the basic requirements for installing an OTA. But after the OTA is downloaded and I try to install it, the process starts and in about 10 seconds it displays "Error" and boots to 4.4.4 again. Any recommendations?
^^did you remove any of the stock Motorola apps?
No, and Motorola Update Services is updated to the last version.

I doubt it - and fear what might happen if it goes wrong, to be honest. But thanks a lot for the offer. I was able to locate a Retail package for the DE version and will try to download the whole beast, hoping that the connection is stable for these 3 hours.
Even though nobody answered me, I found out what's going on. Lollipop OTAs cannot be installed on modified devices.
You could try out some custom ROM if you are unable to get the official 4.4.4. Carbon and CM11 are some customs ROMs I know of.
There are great unofficial ROMs on the moto g xda forum too!! Don't forget to have a look.

I'm thinking of Resurrection Remix 5.0.2
You could also check out mokee, crdroid, xperience. And don't forget to check out the ROMs in the forum list

One question man. I have 4.4.4 installed. Do I have to install stock 5.X in order to get lollipop bootloader before installing any ROM?

how did you manage to un-modify your device? I just bought the Moto G (2013) and have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP and haven't had any luck installing ANY firmware after 4.4.4.... I'm always getting stuck on the bootlogo and have to return back to stock 4.4.4...

You need to have factory firmware and recovery installed in order to update via OTA.

Dear friends
I am facing a serious issue with moto g xt1033 indian version. I explained what I did. It is my friend's phone.
The phone is updated to Lollipop 5.0.2 through OTA. (Not through flashing OTA zip)
I unlocked bootloader, and flashed twrp recovery 2.8.6
Then flashed cm12.1 20150515 nightly and super su 2.46. Everything went fine and the mobile booted in to cm12.
But there is no signal in both of the sims.
So I searched in google a lot and find the below thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/guide-cm12-moto-g-t2952031
I saw the below at first step of the thread
Do not flash CM12 if you flashed lollipop OTA.. It will hard brick your mobile
But the mobile is didnt flashed OTA zip. it is normally updated through OTA
If it is the reason then give me a solution to recover the phone
And I did install the GPE 4.4.2 as mentioned at option 1
But it get struck at boot logo.
After that I flashed stock 5.0.2 Asian retail firmware through fastboot. Every thing went fine. But again it stuck at boot logo.
If I flashed cm12 or any stock zip files It get boot but no signal.
I searched a lot and cant find the solution.
Please give me a solution to recover my phone.
Still I can access fastboot
Check if your IMEI number is still present. Does WiFi work?
So I rooted my P907A a while back. Recently tried to install TWRP, but that went wrong and now it says "System Software not recognized by AT&T...etc...etc" when booting to recovery. How do I fix this? Also, is there anything else we can do with this tablet yet? Install new ROMs?
Can anyone help?
I believe your bootloader is locked, and if that's the case, you cannot use a custom recovery.
you can ask someone on the forum with the same model to backup their stock recovery, with Flashify, share it, and you flash it, with Flashify
or
you can odin a completely stock .tar of your firmware
this will put it back to the regular one -- better than nothing, but it is mostly useless anyways
Hi,
I'm stuck with a custom rom and I can't quite get back to stock. I had rooted my device and installed twrp, and I was in need of an update, hence tried flashing the stock recovery and then trying to update but that didn't work either. My Honor View 10 somehow ended in a boot loop and I had to flash twrp and a custom rom to get it started. Now I can't quite get back to stock.
I have tried fastboot flashing recovery.img of stock firmware, have tried normal and forced upgrade too, nothing worked out. Any help will be appreciated.
By any chance it is Indian firmware?
