So guys, after a long time i have found a solid solution for enabling/solving VOLTE problems in moto g4/g4+ without losing any data or settings that you are using currently.
Steps----
1. Download the stock N firmware available in various threads on moto g4 xda page.
2. Before doing anything else make a backup of your current rom and data along with boot and cache on sd card or USB Otg.
3. FLASH the stock rom following the steps given on the stock rom threads.
4. BOOT into the stock rom and update the system. Make sure you are on the latest system ( 7.0 with September patch) as of now.
5. After updating rom insert you VOLTE sim and check the volte symbol in the status bar.
6. After verifying all of this, boot into fastboot mode.
7. Flash the latest TWRP recovery.
#MOST IMPORTANT-----
8. Do not wipe or factory reset or anything else. Just directly go to restore and restore your backup
9. Boot into your custom ROM and yeah....you have all your data and settings back along with VOLTE enabled.
( DO NOT REMOVE YOUR VOLTE SIM ANYTIME BETWEEN THESE STEPS)
THANKS!!!!!

I have a Boost Mobile Moto G running stock 4.4.2 rooted with CWM recovery. I would like to know how to upgrade it to 4.4.4 with root but I am not sure what to flash next or to make a nandroid backup. Should I install stock recovery and install the update or flash some zip for recovery.

Yes you should install stock recovery first and then ota update
Try an alternative rom?

If you want to remain with stock ROM, make a nandroid backup, flash stock recovery and do an update. Re-root and re-flash CWM after if you wish.
Alternatively, try an alternative ROM like CM11, Omni, PA etc. You can use CWM recovery to simply flash your new rom (after full wipe). Don't forget to take a nandroid backup AND a data backup of contacts, all app-data, sms/mms, bookmarks etc with apps like Titanium, MyBackup or Carbon/Helium.
This is what you can do
Step 1: download the update on your stock 4.4.2 rom.
Step 2: plug your phone into your computer and reboot to fastboot mode 3: pretend your flashing stock firmware (no u won't loose any data or have to reset)
Step 4: flash everything in order BUT*** exclude mfastboot erase userdata and mfastboot erase cache.
Step 5: after u exclude those 2 commands reboot your phone using mfastboot reboot
Step 6 your phone will reboot however any tweaks, modifications, and anything involving root will be disabled temporarily since u basically reverted back to stock without fully factory reseting.
Step 7: Go to settings and install your update (itll take about 10-15) minutes
Step 8: once its done go back to fastboot mode reflash your recovery and your root and reboot and your good to go ull be on 4.4.4 rooted and stock recovery
Side Note : Making a 4.4.2 back up is useless because after u upgrade you can't downgrade
Im on 4.4.4 XT1031 Boostmobile
Custom Recovery (TWRP) and rooted
Sent from my XT1031 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No M10 snapshot yet
I also might install CM11 but there is no M10 snapshot, so thats why i'm on stock until the latest M snapshot is released for it.
So, the situation is I have moto g xt1033 with :- unlocked bootloader, rooted, stock rom 4.4.4 kitkat (i mean no custom rom). and fastboot flash mode 41.13 2014-06-16 and philz touch 6 clockworkmod v6.0.4.7
I want to know how to update to lollipop with official OTA update (not manually or sideloaded)?
Why I am asking this?
I got the prompt of official OTA available on my phone and then i clicked yes and downloaded the update. But when i clicked on install, it went in bootloop. It boots on the philz recovery mode and then nothing happens just restart again whatever i select.
As of now, as I backed up, I recovered to the before state of the phone. Do I need to lock the bootloader again or what? The official OTA update is not for me? Then how to get lollipop? I read the soak test etc threads but why not official update ?
Locking the bootloader won't do anything,so don't lock it
Ota update requires:
1.Stock firmware(unmodified and unchanged or tampered)
2.unrooted
3.Stock recovery
That probably happend becuZ your KitKat firmware was modified and you have custom recovery,root..
So just reflash the stock firmware
Do that on your own risk as failing this might brick your phone
Thank me if I helped
Thanks mate for reply.
1. I have stock firmware KK 4.4.4 (though xposed framework & few modules are installed currently)
2. Rooted
3. What is stock recovery? (m noob here)
And i guess reflashing the stock firmware wipes out all user data & apps, right?
Any other alternative which does not wipes out my data?

Actually there is no other way you could do it
i tried everything i could to stop the wipe procedure but it obviously wiped everything
you just backup everything you have got on your internal and external sd card ..
1.Stock Recovery:: Android devices come with Google’s recovery environment, which is often referred to as the “stock recovery.” You can boot to the recovery system by pressing device-specific buttons as your phone or tablet boots or by issuing an adb command that boots your device to recovery mode. The recovery menu provides options to help recover your device — for example, you can reset your device to its factory default state from here. The recovery mode can also be used to flash OTA update files.
2.Custom Recovery::A custom recovery is a third-party recovery environment. Flashing this recovery environment onto your device replaces the default, stock recovery environment with a third-party, customized recovery environment. This is a bit like flashing a custom ROM like CyanogenMod — but, instead of replacing your device’s Android operating system, it replaces the recovery environment.
what you have to do is:
Find the Kitkat official update on the internet accrouding to your [Build number],[model number] [system version] you can get this information in about phone....
If you have asia retail then follow this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700502
ok Here what i am planning:
1. Uninstall all modules & xposed framework
2. Unroot using supersu
3. Restore/reflash stock recovery (just recovery not whole firmware as I already have stock rom)
4. Install the update either manually via recovery or using auto install.
Am i on right path? Pls help me on step 3, any link or step-t-step guide? I couldn't find one, every post is abt restoring whole firmware.
TIA. Cheers !!
Hi, I've read many guides on how to flash stock roms and stuff, but I'm still not sure how to do it in my case.
I bought an XT1040 from a guy and it came with bootloader unlocked and Lollipop 5.0.2 (CM 12-20150126-NIGHTLY-peregrine)
I wanted to install the stock LP rom, but then I found an optimized version on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816 I think that would be better, but the problem is I'm following this guide to install a stock rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 but it says you have to flash every file, one by one, yet this .zip I downloaded (Retail Latin America 5.1 ROM (Optimized) v1.0a (331mb)) only has a "boot.img" and some folders named "supersu", "system" and "META-INF". Does that mean I have to flash the whole ZIP in the recovery? (oh and btw I installed TWRP v2.8.7 [recoverytwrp2-8-7encryption.img] using adb, I didn't wipe the other recovery with "fastboot erase recovery" because this had CWM already installed... is that okay?)
What should I do?
In short:
I have a bootloader unlocked phone with Lollipop 5.0.2 (CM 12-20150126-NIGHTLY-peregrine) and CWM
I flashed TWRP v2.8.7 without wiping recovery (at least I think that's what "fastboot erase recovery" does)
I want to flash a stock rom (optimized) with LP 5.1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816 (Retail Latin America 5.1 ROM (Optimized) v1.0a (331mb)) but I'm not sure what to do.
Thanks.
_______________________________________
I just decided to do what the guide said:
1) Boot into latest TWRP and Format Data (Wipe > Format DATA > Yes) - This step is essential, and will wipe Internal Storage (Downloads, Music, Photos etc, **backup important files**)
2) Transfer ROM to SDCARD or Internal Storage. This may be done in Windows via MTP, or using adb sideload or adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
3) TWRP > Wipe > Factory reset and flash ROM.
4) Reboot.
5) Call / WiFi issues can be solved by flashing 5.1 Radio Firmware (Below) for your Model.
now I'm in the step 3, trying to flash the ROM but the bar doesn't fill at all...
_________________________________________
Lol that was me panicking, the device managed to flash the ROM and it's working now, I also flashed the radio firmware so I have working WiFi, but the screen flickering keeps happening each time I reboot the device.
I'll probably want to downgrade in the future... any tip on that would be appreciated.
You don't need to use Fastboot other than when changing TWRP version. Simply flash the Optimized Stock ROM (or any custom ROM) via TWRP. Screen flickering is caused by not having updated your Bootloader - this utility will do that for you: Bootloader Upgrader Tool.
I highly recommend you try the following optimized Stock Marshmallow ROM: (It's faster than Lollipop)
[ROM][PEREGRINE][6.0][STOCK] Identity Crisis 6 LTE v1.3b
Hi guys,
Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but I've only got a Moto G 4G fairly recently (my Nexus 5 died) and have been attempting ROM flashing (never had an issue with multiple Nexus phones & tablets) I was flashing the rom OK but the sim card wasn't recognised - so went back to rooted stock Kitkat & Xposed.
Today I thought I'd give it another go, got into TWRP, advanced wipe as usual...but it didn't complete and the phone suddenly booted back into the system (with the Android upgrading/optimizing message you usually get when starting a new phone)
System is untouched, still rooted/xposed etc. Does anyone have an idea why this has suddenly happened? Never encountered anything like this before. TWRP is the latest version 3.1.1.0
Any suggestions welcome, cheers.
Just thinking....would flashing with adb be a solution?
Just flash lollipop stock ROM using mfastboot
later you can flash twrp recovery and then proceed with the nougat or oreo based ROM.. Bootloader should be updated so my suggestion is flash lollipop stock ROM
I am having a problem installing customs ROM on stock LG G2. My phone was bricked so I reverted to stock AT&G firmware using LG flash tool (Android version - 4.4.2, Kernel version - 3.4.0).
I then perform the following steps:
(1) Enable developer mode with USB debugging
(2) Use Kingo Root to root phone
(3) Install TWRP using AutoRec
(4) Update TWRP to latest version (3.2.1)
This is where the problems start. I get the same result when I try installing crDroid 7.1.2 or Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 custom ROMs.
The installation of the custom ROM (and gapps) succeeds in TWRP and then I reboot the system. However, the reboot always results in the "LG" logo showing for 1/2 seconds and then a constant black screen.
I am able to recover the phone from this by putting it into firmware update and then using LG Flash tool however I would still like to successfully install and use the custom ROMs. Not sure why this is happening (I am sure it might have been treated with in the forums however I cant find anything). Any help would be appreciated here as I really do not want to be stuck on stock AT&T firmware.

Update: It seems as if older ROMs can be installed with no issues. I got a copy of Cyanogen 12 and it installed perfectly and works fine. However, trying to install new ROMs still give issues. Don't know if I am missing something here and/or someone had a similar previous experience.
