[Q] Can i do a OTA update?

Hey guys,
I have the Moto G and i unlocked te bootloader, did an custom recovery and rooted the device and i had a custom rom. But i got back to stock with this GUIDE and i got no rooted device and no custom recovery but i still have the unlocked bootloader, i also have a other stock image of the moto then normally! (I have the 210.12.32.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US version) and i need the global gsm version xt1032 if i am right. But my question is, can i get ota updates now? because i want android L!
Thanks already.

Sorry for bad english

Your warranty is just invalid but you'll be able to perform an ota update. If you have doubts flash a stock 4.4.2 firmware and update it via ota, I'm sure you'll be able to do it. You'll enjoy Andoid L, don't worry

Having an unlocked bootloader has no adverse effect on the ability to update via OTA. You can even be rooted, although, you will more than likely lose root upon updating, which shouldn't be too difficult to get back. The only things that would affect updating via OTA is if you have a custom recovery, or if you've modified/deleted any system files/apps.

[Q] Can i go back from 5.0 to kk 4.4.4 ?

I mean, i uptaded my moto g to Lollipop. But i didnt like it so much, so i've downgrade the phone to kk. But my device doesnt reboot anymore. It got stucked on 'Warning bootloader unlocked' screen. Tried restoring so much firmwares, roms, etc, no solutions.
How can i revive my phone? Hope you understand my fking english.

I think the only way to revive is to go back to lollipop

Cant. Tried flashing again dual sim br and then the ota but i get ' Installation aborted ' everytime.....

It sounds like your Bootloader has been updated so you can no longer boot the KitKat kernel. Can you please state what version your Bootloader is now?
For example mine is: 41.13
This weekend I will try to build a Stock ROM based on Retail DS BR Lolliopop. That should get your phone back, as long as you have a custom Recovery installed.

Perhaps you could try to flash the full latest 4.4.4 Brazil rom; the OTA update to Lollipop might work on this one. Just not sure if it is safe to revert to an older bootloader on Moto G, never tried this myself.
If this doesn´t work or you don´t want to try, you will need someone to upload a full 5.0 ROM and look for a backup phone until then

My bootloader ver. is 41.18
i've tried reflashing br dual sim version and then the 5.0 ota. But it doesnt work.

[Q] XT1033 OTA lollipop upgrade failed... How to fix it?

Hi Guys,
I just received the XT1033 Lollipop notification and clicked upgrade.... Unfortunately the upgrade failed and I suspect perhaps that's because I have clockworkmod installed instead of the stock recovery?
Where do I go from here? How do I get my phone so the upgrade installs successfully?
I'm in New Zealand if that matters. Not sure if you get a different OTA update per country?
Also note, the phone is still working fine (ie not bricked or anything), just the upgrade is failing to install

Flash a stock ROM or gpe and upgrade from there.

Which ROM, does it matter?
I keep seeing stock roms for Brazil/India/Asia, but I live in NZ so I'm not sure what to install. There doesn't seem to be any NZ roms
Plus none of the links in "how to restore to stock" tutorials and faq's seem to work anymore
Can you point me in the right direction please?

You can still install official lollipop if your phone has bootloader unlocked and custom recovery but I would suggest starting from scratch. If you bought phone from anywhere in Asia then flash stock asian KitKat ROM and if you bought it from Brazil then flash stock Brazilian KitKat rom. After that you can update your phone to official lollipop.
PS- there is no NZ ROMs for xt1033. Only Asian and Brazilian. It depends on the region from where you buy the phone, not where you live.

I bought it in NZ...
Aha! I found in the phone settings it says 210.12.40.falcon_umtsds.AsiaRetail.en.03
Asia rom it is then, I'll go try it out

You should not need to unlock bootloader to flash the fastboot firmware image.

How to update a rooted Moto G (XT1032) 4.4.4 to 5.0?

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.

Yes you can flash the OTA update without any issues. Considering your bootloader is 41.18 you wont be having any trouble and obviously since you clean flashed 5.0.2 surely your bootloader must have updated itself automatically
