Dear Friends,
I recently rooted my Moto G 1st Gen, Indian version and within 2 days itself I am able to receive update from 5.0.2 to 5.1.
When I download the update (208 MB) and install it , it reboots. I see the android boy logo of installing the update but suddenly it stops and reboots.
After reboot it tells that there was a problem in updating software and no change has been made.
What could be the problem? Pls help me friends.
Thank you.
bro you rooted the device it means you have changed system , try unrooting and reinstall the zip may be that works

What you do is flash 5.0.2 firmware images through fastboot then manually install 5.1(file you can get from other threads)
Just unrooting might not help. You'll then have to install stock 5.0.2 again if unrooting doesn't work...

Hi,
I've got an off-contract Moto G, unlocked the official way, and rooted with the "superboot" method. I didn't flash any custom recovery.
Today I got the notification for the 4.4.2 OTA update. But after downloading it, once rebooted the update installation lead to an "Error" message without further information. The device then reboots and is still on 4.3.
Did anyone else meet the same problem ? Do you have to unroot/relock my moto g ? Is there a log file somewhere on the device which explains what the exact error is during the update process ?
Thanks a lot for any help !
You have to unroot the phone.
Ok, thanks for the reply.
And is there a way do unroot it without flashing the stock firmware and thus erasing the phone data ?

You can unroot from within the superuper app, clear the caches in recovery, reboot and retry.

Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. I still get the "Error" message during update. I guess I'm good for a full stock ROM flash, now...
EDIT : I finally flash a stock retail ROM, and everything went smoothly. And the good news is that I didn't lost any data or settings. My Moto G is now running Android 4.4.2. Thanks a lot !
Can anyone tell me how to unroot moto g without flashing a stock rom
I have got a moto g and i rooted it incorrectly. How can i unroot it and reroot it correctly?
If i Root my XT-1033 Device and stay on stock rom , May i get the official Lollipop update ?
If yes , Can i update without any issues ?
You'll definitely receive the update, but you can't install it if you are rooted.
Even unrooting won't work. The system partition has to be COMPLETELY untouched.

The same question was asked in the Motorola forums yesterday and the moto rep said....
as long as you have stock recovery and unaltered firmware,you will be able to install the update with unlocked boot loader and root, but you will lose root after install.
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.

If you root stock ROM, you'll get an update, but you won't be able to install it, because your system partition would be detected as tampered and update would fail. You need stock untouched ROM to update. If you have custom ROM, you won't get update at all.
It all comes to this - you have to have Completely stock rom without root (not unrooted but completely stock)

i have a xt1032 that i flashed stock rom and stock recovery, not rotted and only with the bootloader unlocked. The phone detects the update, but when i am going to install it it fails. I don't know what could be the problem...
Hi guys,
several months ago, when Motorola released Lollipop for my rooted XT1039, i tried to update via OTA, but the device got stuck in a bootloop, showing a message that i found out after searching, means that i have the wrong bootloader(I´m using CWM Touch 6.0.5.0)
So my question is, what is the best and safest way to get Lollipop working on my phone.
Should i flash the stock XT1039 version of Lollipop or can i use the Motoflasher to flash the correct bootloader and update?
Thanks in advance
Just flash the original recovery from your device, as you cant update via OTA from a custom one
Ok, thank you.
What I've seen ist the MotoFlasher the best choice, as it has the new Moto G Recovery, should i use this program?
