Problem with System Updates - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Brazilian Moto G XT1033, bootloader unlocked, actually using Stock ROM 5.0.2 with Stock Recovery
Hello guys
Well, I was with rooted Stock 5.0.2 ROM 2 days ago, when it notified me that was an update available, so I know that I can't update by OTA with a rooted phone.
I wiped system/cache/dalvik and installed Stock ROM 4.4.4 by ADB+mfastboot for remove the root and be able to update normally.
When the cell started, I updated the "Motorola update service" in Play Store and searched for new updates (Settings > About phone > System updates). A few seconds and it returned the following message: "Check for update was not available at this time. Try again later.".
So, I downloaded the Stock ROM 5.0.2 and installed it by the same way (Wipe > Install by ADB/mfastboot) hoping that it will solve my problem... But it didn't ;(
I did some factory resets, some cache wipes etc and nothing worked for me.
I also installed the stock 5.0.2 recovery again as I saw in a forum topic, but still didn't work.
It is everything right with my phone and network connections.
This message keeps popping up, and I can not update.
Can anyone please help me? Thanks
(Sorry if I had a bad english, still learning...).

@Thales Lima : 1: keep patient, will have update after 1 day or more. If it said: system up to date=> cant update
2: you can download OTA zip file for xt1033, copy to phone( not put in any folder), and check update,it will update manually. Its ok like auto update.

Thanks for replying, thuybang!
I will be patient and wait and see if was a motorola's update server error
And... Where can I find the XT1033 5.1 ROM (zip file) for download?

OTA zip file update 5.1( not ROM 5.1). https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_JZx92EYN28YUJyT0JmNlJqRWM/view
After download, u change name to : 221.21.56 ( only number), and put in phone...

Whoooa, where did you find it? ^^
Thank you a lot!
------------ EDIT -------------
I pushed the zip file right named to my SD Card (none folder), and looked again for updates, and it returned the same message (Check for update was not available at this time. Try again later.). Can I update using a Custom Recovery > Install ZIP??
------------ EDIT -------------
The first download was corrupted, I guess... I downloaded it again and now I'm with 5.1 installed ^^ (I installed using the method mentioned by you, thuybang)
Buuut... I still can't connect to the update server and check for new updates ;(
If a new update come available for XT1033, I won't get it =/

No,u have to use stock recovery. When u check update,if it not work, go to recovery, choose: apply update from SD card,hope it work.

Ok,its fine buddy. Maybe u will get 5.1.1. . if its show : system up to date,u will stop in 5.1.
Because before i got auto update( i got 5.1 by auto update when i check update) ,it also got that mgs. My friend show : system up to date,he have to update manual like u.
So u go to recovery, wipe cached, factory reset ,enjoy 5.1. Dont worry, its nomal.

Alright, but... Even when I knew that there was some updates available (when I was with 4.4.4), it returned the same message (that hell message saying that couldn't connect to the update server). But it's alright, when comes a new update available I'm gonna install it manually.
Thank you again, thuybang ^^
--------------- EDIT ---------------
Whooa! I think that it really was an update server's fail, now it's normal '-'

[Q] OTA Update on rooted GT-I9105P

Hi guys, a couple of months ago I've rooted my new S2+ and after Alex posted the new 4.2.2 I've flashed my device with RDS_GT-I9105P-XEO-I9105PXXAMC2 (topic here GT-I9105/I9105P Stock Prerooted Firmware Without loss of warranty(4.2.2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334103).
So far it is working perfect! This week I've received a notification, that there is a new update available OTA for my device, so I've decided to download and install it. I've downloaded it, the phone restarts and starts to install the "new update", but at 25% shows an error (the Android guy wearing the red triangle etc. and reboots automatically).
After the restart the OS boots normally and is working OK as previous.
My question is: Since my phone has a prerooted stock FW (4.2.2) and is rooted at the same time running CWM, why I can't install the latest updates OTA?
If CW is causing this, why am I able to get the OTA update notification?
Thanks for the replies.

that is because it is a modded firmware

I understand that the FW is modded, as the previous one (4.1.2), which I've downloaded from here and installed on my G2+. But with 4.1.2 at that time I wasn't able to check for any updates for my OS. Every time I've checked manually for updates, the OS gave me error message, that this is not possible. And now with 4.2.2 I am not only able to check if my FW is the latest, but also to download and install 1/4 of the updates. I am trying to find the algorithm here.

I will say it again
It is not possible to check for updates because the Firmware is modded and not original anymore that's why!!!
Hi "safariking",
In the current situation we have two identically modded FWs, but a different outcome.
It's very nice of you to take the time to answer my question so fully That's why I'd like to thank you for the effort. Herewith I am closing the topic.
Cheers.

chill down everyone safari bro,this guy trying to say he got updated with mod fw,just when reach certain percent,the downloaded file seems corrupted. Now i understand mod fw can't even received the ota file,but how this process is allowed, and what happened with the ota file he downloaded?
either way,it's pointless,1st the phone fail to update completely(stuck at 25%), 2nd i don't think this problem can be solved.
cheers everyone~ :highfive:

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your reply. You are reading my mind. The issue is really interesting & I think it is worth discussing this.
Safari is right, when he says that FW upgrade OTA for customized ROM is not possible. This is of course true and no one has ever doubted it. This is why when I had the 4.1.2 installed on my G2+ no update was even possible. Droid detects immediately, that the OS has been modified and that you are not running stock ROM.
Okay, so far so good.
Now I have pre-rooted 4.2.2 installed on my phone. When I hit the "Check for update button" it detects that my OS is genuine (although it is not), downloads the whole update package (see screenshot), restarts the phone (part of the update process) and starts installing the update. When the installation reaches 25%, an error message appears saying, that an error has occurred. The phone restarts and loads the "old" OS.
I have tested this a several times and it always hangs on 25%.
The question is NOT why I CAN'T install OTA updates on modified ROM. The question is why I CAN download and install OTA updates on modified ROM.
My suggestion is that:
ROM 1 (4.1.2) had a modified kernel. That's why the OTA updates were not possible.
ROM 2 (4.2.2) is pre-rooted. And I assume it is just stock FW (kernel not modified) with few modifications in the user permissions. This would explain the OTA update and why it reaches download mode and hangs on 25% of the installation.
I hope this brings more clarification to the situation and this would be useful to all members of the forum.
Cheers!:highfive:
I have randomly come across and read posts and topics on this in the other devices' forum.
If I remember correctly, it is the custom recovery, i.e Cwm or twrp that blocks or interrupts the OTA process. 2 reasons why: you'll lose root access if the update went through. Secondly, if a user freezes or uninstalls stock apps like S Voice, Chat On etc, there will be trouble.
There are some ways of allowing an OTA to get pass a custom recovery. I think TWRP has this feature. Again, I stand corrected here lol.
Heard of OTA Root Keeper but no idea how it works

[Q] [SOLVED] 220.27.1 OTA install problems

Hi everyone,
I received the OTA update notification a long time ago but didn't have time to take a deep look into it (baby on the way... now arrived !), but I'm trying to install a lollipop ota update on my moto g.
It's not my first android device, I had about 10 of them and messed around with them, so don't be affraid to use the vernacular directly, but I'm aware that I might be making a rookie mistake too
My phone is a 1st gen 16Gb Moto G. IT's running 4.4.4 (System version 210.12.40.falcon_umts.Retail.en.FR, I'm in France by the way). I did a few things to it :
- unlock bootloader
- install CWM
- root
- install xposed
- install cerberus and moved it to system apps
Before trying to install it I tried to reverse the steps back to stock :
- move cerberus back to user apps, and uninstall it just in case
- remove xposed
- unroot using the option in the SuperSU menu
- go back to kitkat stock revovery, using mototool v2.6 (so this might a 4.4.2 but I didn't find another one so far)
Then I clicked on the OTA notification, anouncing that 220.27.1... was ready to be installed, downloaded it ok, chose to install it.
Everytime I tried the phone rebooted, began the install and after a short while showed a error message and rebooted.
I tried to install it by putting the OTA zip file in /sdcard and install it with the stock recovery, but here's what I found out :
After downloading the OTA on the phone if I go to /cache/ (where the ota zip file is downloaded. To do that I need root access so I got to flash cwm and root it again, fyi) it shows another file, not corresponding to 220.27 but named : Blur_Version.210.12.40.falcon_umts.Retail.en.FR.zip .... which is weird because it's the version that's supposed to be installed already !
I tried something else, found the "Blur_Version.220.27.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.FR.zip" file on a forum, put it on /sdcard/ and try to install it through recovery... same error.
Does anyone have an idea on how to install it succesfully without having to flash back a stock firmware ?
Thanks a lot to anyone giving a shot, you rock !

Ps : i tried to find anything similar on the forum but didn't manage to. If i searched with the wrong terms or didn't notice it while browsing trough the different topics, please tell me if you have a clue, and sorry about not having searched well enough.

Worked perfectly

But my problem is I had to reset my phone for a different reason n afta reset it still says in about phone in running 5.1.1 lollipop but it's not displaying lollipop on phone is just like it was wen I first bought the phone. I want to know what do I do next?? Oh n also phone keeps asking me to do system update to 5.1.1 , I've tried but obviously phone doesn't recognize I've already done this update early so wants to update to 5.1.1 again. So what next?? For example do I have to root phone now so I can get 5.2 running on phone or what ??? Please help I am new to all this n haven't got a clue what I am doing???

There is nothing called 5.2
Just ask in this sub-forum's Q&A, Help and Trouble-shooting section for further help specific to your phone: One Plus One - XDA Forum
I'm a bit confused. If you installed an official ROM through the stock recovery, your probably OK. Maybe there is a newer 5.1 release than the you installed.

Can't update either with OTA or manually!! [original firmware]

Hi there, I have an Letv 1s X500 with stock EUI, not the international one with the app drawer, but the chinese original rom (but in english) with the 'Live' button.
The phone did *one* OTA update from 012S to 013S, but after that I waited way more than a month for the next one, only to find out that there's already the 016S. But my phone's update app and the "Settings/About phone" both say the operating system is updated to the 013S. Did this happened to anybody else?
I never rooted my phone and I have (and always had) the original rom and original recovery, and again, I have the chinese firmware which permits OTA updates.
Not only that but I can't update it manually either! I download the update, rename it to "update.zip", put it in the internal memory root (the file is ok, not an incomplete download)
I tried installing it with both the recovery boot, and the system update app /more options ('...' symbol) / "local update"; and the result is always the same: it aborts the update by saying "error in signature".
I downloaded the rom from here although their official site seems to be less and less reliable (016S link doesn't work).
Later I downloaded this 014S for my phone "S1_x500-OS-OP-DHXOSOP5501405251S-5.5.014S.zip" (don't remember the site), and also a no-go.
I did nothing to corrupt my phone. The only thing I did was unchecking the notifications of some Letv apps (didn't disable the apps though), but I already re-enabled them. I also installed google play and google services via that Google installer apk (not through any custom recovery).
So, what's going on? Can anyone point me to an updated (014S+) working rom for the Letv 1s X500?
The phone is working fine with the current 013S, but I'm already 2 or 3 updates behind.
I hope someone can help me.
Thank you.
Anyone?

man, stock ROM is very unstable. Flash custom Rom named Miui, is very stable, without Chinese apps and you will get frequently updates. Good luck http://forum.xda-developers.com/leeco-le-1s/development/miui-8-6-7-8-international-t3415088

Sorry for my late response.
This is nice to say, but I didn't manage to root my 6045 after update to 6.0.1, because they removed fastboot commands. So I can't install TWRP and root. I found this manual ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/general/guide-hoe-to-root-ota-easy-t3493400 ), but didn't have time to test it.
And I' afraid , that it will be similar with 6039. No fastboot, no root, no extra memory.
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Resizing partition didn't helped. I had to put original phone in to original state. Unfortunately with Mobile upgrade 5.0.0 I got error msg at 2%: Read terminal information failed. So I tried to do same thing with older version 4.8.7 and it with it worked perfectly. Update SW to 6.0.1 over Wi-Fi was smooth when phone was restored to its original state. Now I have Marshmallow, but almost no space on phone anyone have idea how to resize partition after update to 6.0.1?
