OTA Question - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there
I have a nandroid backup of my Moto G when it wasn't rooted. If I restore the backup and flash the stock recovery image will I be able to install OTA's or will they fail?

They should install but if not, simply flash the system.img's/boot.img from stock firmware.

Just curious what would happen if this were done on a rooted upgraded device?

You can't. Fastboot won't allow the version downgrade.
I am not talking about downgrading.
What I am talking about pulling the 12.15.15 recovery from the OTA to flash.

I believe that is fine to do. It would just allow you to enter recovery again. It wouldn't necessarily allow you to take an ota successfully, I don't think. Some changes are made to /system after you root.

So why couldn't be flash the system.img to return to stock unrooted?
From my understanding the KK update completely formats the partitions during install.

Use this method.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
This will revert everything to stock... you will loose all your data if you perform the whole procedure.. I think this command restores the recovery -
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Just looking for stock recovery.IMG for XT1034...I have stock ROM backup...just need recovery...

You could try this one ,think its for xt1032 but its worth a try https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9TdWxEidxMQbDVGUi1UanRCM1k/preview?pli=1
Rename to recovery.img

Tried to.flash a rom for the xt1032 version and I got boost mobile version. Forgot to make a back up any idea how I can fix it without a computer?

OK for anyone reading this I fixed it. I used the firmware restore, relock bootloader script from tomsgt. I put in the files needed for my phone but I'm not sure we're I got them.

A factory restore might solve this.

Does MotoAssist.apk contain unexpected contents, did you remove the apk when you were rooted etc.
Yes i deleted it along with dome other bloatwares with titanium backup.. But they were reinstalled when i reset the phone.. So i dont know how that could be the problem

What do you mean when you say they were reinstalled when you reset the phone. If you mean factory reset then that doesn't reinstall them. Basically the apk file is not the same as it was originally.

If you placed them back on the phone manualy, are you sure you placed them in the correct directory.
I guess your right i factory reset it.. If any of you know where i could get the stock MotoAssist.apk please let me know

You will need to reinstall all apps that are updated by the OTA. Download stock firmware and just flash system image. Tutorials are on XDA.
Thanks i will try it out

That's correct, just use the moto fastboot utility to flash each one in turn.

Use the motoassist.apk that I have attached. This update would work with your Moto g.

Only if that app is the only one that has changed or been deleted.
I flashed the firmware using adb ... Got back all the stock apps and the update went ok... Thank you all for your help
