[Q] About Moto G 1st gen before OTA update

Hi everyone,
I have Moto G 1st gen with unlocked bootloader, rooted, custom recovery and xposed framework.
My question is if:
1. uninstall xposed framework
2.install stock recovery
3. unroot
4. factory reset
... can i get OTA 5.0.2 ? or should flash stock rom.
Thanks in advance

I also have exact same question

you will be able to download the OTA but not install it.
unrooting and uninstalling the xposed, and flashing stock recovery will not work.
I suggest you to back up the OTA zip file after it downloads to the computer (/cache/ folder - its outside the sdcard directory)
you will need root to backup the OTA zip file (use ES File Explorer with Root options)
now flash the stock 4.4.4 firmware (the one that got the OTA update) with fastboot
the Lollipop update checks if the system folder was modified in any way. if it has, the update will fail

Problem is once the bootloader is unlocked, it can't be relocked until stock firmware image is flashed. I was searching for relocking bootloader in non-gpe moto g but no gain. Relocking process in gpe moto g is working very well though.

I have a rather different scenario . . i have stock ROM, custom recovery, unlocked bootloader and root access . .i tried to get the official lollipop update, but it got rejected due to low internal memory . .then after clearing memory, when i check for system updates , it says my "software is up to date" while it is still in kitkat!! . .i have been then checkin for updates again and again for days but still no use . .plz what should i do to get the official update? . .i have seen lots of others asking the same thing in different sites.but no answer.

Maybe you should flash the downgrade pack and then flash lollipop and try again.

Fixed i got B511 twrp backup from a friend

Registration failed - 9860

Hi,
I have rooted my n9860 TGY , i have noticed that i am unable to do OTA , it keeps saying (registration failed) when i press manually update..
Is it related to root ?
I did install on Odin the latest firmware

Unlocking bootloader and then rooting will not work on OTA. Stock firmware can only be updated over OTA if bootloader is locked.
So you will have to manually flash your phone from now on.
