Help! OTA - Rebooting

I got a message on my XT1053 Dev that there's a system update. (I'm running stock) I let it download, and then it wanted to reboot. Ok, but it came up in TWRP. I tried rebooting from TWRP every way, but it would not go into maintenance so it could flash the new firmware.
Now whenever I boot it normally, it comes up, and then immediately shuts down, I guess because it wants to upgrade.
What is wrong with this thing?

You must be on stock recovery in order to OTA update. Try going into adb and flashing back to stock recovery and it should work.
Make sure you have mfastboot set up and working, if you need the file respond to this post and I can supply it for you.
Download the stock recovery from here (and make sure it's in your "android" folder)
Boot your phone into fastboot with
adb reboot bootloader

-OR-
While the phone is off, hold the PWR button and the Volume Down buttons at the same time for ~5 seconds. Release the PWR button ONLY and continue holding Volume Down until you see the fastboot screen.
Next
Then in adb on your computer perform:
mfastboot flash recovery *filename*
mfastboot reboot

When it reboots into the OS it should try to install the update again, like you said it was doing. When it reboots it should update correctly via stock recovery.
Emphasis on should. I can't guaruntee this will work but this is based on my prior knowledge and experience. Good luck and report back with success/problems!

There's nothing wrong with this thing....
All of the guides here exist for a reason. One responsibility you have once you have decided to root your device or install custom recovery, is that when a new OTA comes out, you must check back here at XDA to see what the procedure for installing it is.
All of the guides here tell you that you MUST have stock recovery in order to accept any updates.
Here's how you will fix it:
Boot into TWRP. Clear your cache. This will prevent the constant reboots.
Now, use fastboot to flash back the stock recovery. You will need to download the 4.4.2 SBF for your XT1053 from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
Extract the archive. You only need one file: recovery.img
You should already have the android SDK installed since you unlocked your BL and flashed TWRP. Use fastboot to flash the stock recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now you can accept the OTA from your phone. You may need to go to Settings > About Phone > System Updates and re-download it.
The OTA should now successfully install (assuming you aren't using Xposed or made any other modifications).
Now, you can flash TWRP recovery back. Let us know how it works out for you...

Thanks, but the update was unsuccessful.
I seem to remember that the update checks existing files, and if one has the wrong CRC it fails. Well I'm stock but rooted. It is a develoepr's phone and there is no developer's image on those sites.

The GSM Developer edition uses the SAME exact software as the T-Mobile version. The T-Mobile variant has zero bloat, and no carrier branding. The only difference between the two is that you don't lose your warranty when you unlock the GSM Dev edition.
You're looking for the XT1053 T-Mobile SBF

I always seem to have something in /system that messes with the ota update. In addition to flashing stock recovery to replace twrp, I also flash system.img (with mfastboot only) from the same sbf as you get the recovery.img. Then the ota goes through without a hitch.

Still Errors at the robot with spinning diamond heart, even with TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4.2-KXA20.16-1.25_MR3_CFC.xml/recovery.img.
Looking around it seems that here are some rules. I think I'm violating #2: "Inside the OTA is a manifest file. It contains a list of files and their check sums it expects to be on your phone. If the files are missing, or the check sum for a particular file doesn't match (because you've replaced or altered the file), the OTA will fall." I've removed most of the G**gle junk since I don't trust them.
So if this is what they require, Hell with them. If it were possible to put multiboot on the Moto X I would have done it a long time ago. Maybe I can apply this OTA update in some other way? Without going through their rinky-dink tests?

You are correct on the manifest.
Instead, just flash the entire stock SBF (TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4.2-KXA20.16-1.25). The manual method is easiest.
Or you could just flash the system.img as the earlier poster suggested.
This will revert to stock, and you will have to reinstall your apps, but the OTA WILL work afterwards. You really should consider just 'freezing' the google apps instead of removing them this time...
The only other way you will be able to install the OTA is to put all the gapps back on...but I doubt you made a backup, right?
mfastboot flash system system.img
that should be all you need (beside stock recovery, of course). Then take the update, and finally do whatever mods you want remembering that you will HAVE to un-do the mods to be able to accept future OTAs without returning to 100% stock again.
Good Luck

Flashing system.img will not require you to reinstall your downloaded apps, just apps you installed as system apps via root access. Downloaded apps are in the /data/app partition that is not affected by a system.img flash.

I finally went this route. I'm not putting up with their OTA requirements; I'll get the upgrade without them. Although, that 4.3 sure has alot of G**gle and Motorola bloatware to remove.
With Xposed, GravityBox (and other modules) I now have the flexibility I was looking for.
Now all I need is a better dialer than the crappy G**gle one, and secure SMS.

[Q] Unable to update using OTA

Calling all gurus here for help:
I am unable to update to 4.4.3 using OTA update.
Previously for past OTA updates to proceed smoothly, all I had to do was to flash back stock recovery, and uninstall Xposed framework+disable all Xposed modules.
However, right now even after doing all that, I got an error during OTA update (phone icon with red exclaimation mark).
Does anyone know what else needs to be done?
Thanks very much.

You probably have some /system or /data/preload files modified/deleted/corrupted. /data/preload file are wiped when unlocking the bootloader. These are the stock app loaded by HTC like the calculator, soundhoud, the flashlight etc etc. /system files usually get modified when using custom kernels or any other mod that will replace/modify /system files to work. When installing an OTA update, thousand of files are checked (MD5 check) by the updater-script and if they match the expected value, they are then patched. If any file doesnt match the MD5 value in the script (either because the file doesn't exist, corrupted or modified) the installation will abort and you'll see the red triangle.
You can see which file is causing this by holding vol + then pressing power and release both buttons when in stock recovery (when the ota install is in progress)
In some cases, you can find the files needed, restore them to the correct location and the ota will install. In the worst scenario, you'll have to restore your phone back to stock either by using a RUU or by flashing a stock rom and then stock recovery.
And now I see your question coming: Why the OTA worked before and not now? Maybe because the missing/corrupted file was not patched from these previous updates so the updater-script was not looking for it. Maybe the responsible file was recently modified/deleted, intentionally (removing bloatware) or unintentionally (custom kernel or other mods)

[Q] Couldnt Update to Lollipop, LF USA XT1063 Mirror

First of all I just bought Global Moto G 2014 (XT1063) from US Amazon and that was KXH21.85-23 (not updatable to Lollipop via shared OTA.)
So I did manage to unlocked the bootloader and flashed KXH21.85-17 and tried to flash the "Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuglb.retuglb.en.US" which supposed to flash the Lollipop.
Unfortunately at first it failed to update me because "Printspooler.apk" mismatch the hash check. After attempt to flash (yes, I ignore the abort message and redo the process, It passed.... I don't know why) and stuck at some "xxx.apk" mismatch the hash again. After redo the process and bypass (for unknown reason that redo bypass the mismatch) I stuck at "velvet.apk" mismatch and this time It won't let me bypass and keep going on update to lollipop.
In my theory, Is it possible that I flash KXH21.85-17 from other country? Yes, any XT1063 (latin american, whereever on earth) supposed to flashable, but maybe the different country has slightly different apk. So that's why I failed the hash check.
Can anyone give me a URL or mirror to USA XT1063 for KXH21.85-17 that confirmed updatable to Lollipop? Since SBF-Dev and MotoFirmware is now down I couldn't find any.
I know what I'm saying is sound ridiculous, but I have no other theory that support my conspiracy anymore.

Hi @bankkung, I was facing similar problems. First you'd want to get back to stock kitkat which is up-gradable to Lollipop, so I would suggest downloading this file, http://180upload.com/bzl3ah1wov5g, which is 21.85-17, you can flash this file with fastboot by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/index-guide-update-to-lollipop-android-t2941340. Next you'd want to download both Lollipop files, the first and second one. (The second one is the newest update that fixes memory management). First file: https://mega.co.nz/#!UoQ02KLQ!22OUNBctGLoAUOMd_frTRT9jgbB3tRPUa4pPqfesGho.. Second file: https://mega.co.nz/#!s8ZSVJDA!SqUWPZODvM4-GYuXo6MC2JWTmpE9_jdyqlH-ycWi78I. Download both of those files and put them somewhere accessible (like your SD card) so you can flash these in stock recovery, so after you downgrade to kitkat you can flash the first one, then boot up and then go back into stock recovery and flash the second file. I'd recommend factory resetting your phone after this to smoothen everything out.
If all else fails you can flash TWRP recovery using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-0-1-moto-g-2014-t2896165, and then download this TWRP backup of the latest Lollipop, and place it in /data/media/0/TWRP/backups/(your device name here). All of that can be done right in TWRP recovery using the file manager (no need to root your phone). https://mega.co.nz/#!59AAiQaR!cPUsNpI5j-ZaIMX10uiS93EJqpLxua-iwKHj30InX1U
I would really recommend the first option tho, just in case any other updates come you can easily upgrade your phone.
Hope I helped!

I'm thinking about getting some Nandroid backup (never used TWRP before but I think this methond you gave is the same thing as I think) to get straight from Custom Recovery to Lollipop.
So what I need to do in the 2nd method is
a
flash TWRP
Place TWRP Backup of XT1063 Lollipop
restore
reflash Stock Recovery + Locked recovery
Is this sound corrected?

Yes once you place the backup on your SD card, flash TWRP, reboot into recovery and go to advanced then go to file manager, then finish following the instructions above. Once you place it in the right place then you restore it. As of the stock recovery issue, it wouldn't make much sense to do that unless you followed the first option, where the stock recovery would actually be needed. But if you find a recovery image then yeah. If you do the second method you won't be able to receive updates nor update it manually unless doing the first method.. But the TWRP backup is the latest lollipop so enjoy!

If you still need help you can just flash TWRP recovery, and download this and flash it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...-stock-rom-t2970427/post57438355#post57438355

Hmmm, try after full unroot, if that also doesnt work. There is one more method mentioned by people in the group. ie First flash the stock 5.1(LMY47O) ota and then on top of that flash 5.1.1 OTA, it will work.

How to successfully update to 5.1.1
Hey
Thanks for the suggestion :good: I managed to install 5.1.1 on my device.
My findings:
Before Lollipop, while updating from an OTA update, Google made android only check the system partition details to verify their OTA updates and that the installed version was the correct one.
However, with 5.0 Lolipop they introduced a new method of system checking. For each OTA update, the updater in recovery checked the file in the /system/bin/install-recovery.sh for its legit data. So any rooting or messing with the kernel or any part of the system made changes to it.
If any of the data is wrong or changed, the updater generates an error which most of us are getting. You won't even be able to manually flash the image as the system does not grant access to any recovery to patch the zip.
Even just installing SuperSU will change the data. A full unroot wont work as unrooting dosen't set back the default value for the files!! Only chance is if you have the stock image. without any messing around.
Sadly, I am not a professional developer and I don't know why Google did so?
The method that I used:
I flashed a stock image from another Spice Dream Uno device that my Dad has (that's silly) and restored the original system files.
And VOILA!, my OTA works just fine and I am on 5.1.1 now!
Edit: The updater checks every file in /system folder !! So if u even modify a stock apk, it will give an error.

As I mentioned, I had my stock recovery and system image backed up. I used custom recovery to restore my stock system.
For the safer side, I did do a full unroot from SuoerSU, which u can find it in the settings of SuperSU.
One thing I prefer is I never flash a recovery directly to my device.
Whenever I need custom recovery ( I use TWRP btw), I open it by using
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP.img
or whatever your file name is.
I then restored my backup from TWRP. In your case if you didn't backup your system before rooting then try flashing the stock system images from the links below.
After flashing the stock system, your OTA should work just fine.
There are many other threads where u can find the stock images.

Hey,
Sorry to hear that the previous method didn't work.
Your device is probably going into bootloop because of the remains of your previous system and the dalvik-cache. Try clearing that once.
I am providing you with both the system recoveries below.
Link for Lollipop 5.1 system backup:
https://goo.gl/NkAxwo
Link for Lollipop 5.1.1 system backup:
https://goo.gl/TL6EqU
Link for TWRP custom Recovery for Spice Dream Uno (sprout):
https://dl.twrp.me/sprout/twrp-2.8.6.0-sprout.img
These backups are directly from TWRP Recovery, so I don't know how you will use them.
You can't just copy these folders on your ext sd card and do a restore from TWRP as it won't recognize it as a system backup (as far as I know).
So basically, what I did was, I made a fool out of TWRP!!
You can follow these steps too.
First download the files from the required given links and place it in a new folder.
1. Start your device into TWRP cutom recovery.
2. Keep your device plugged in to a PC. Do not unplug your device until the whole restoration process completes!! And create a system backup of your device using TWRP. DO NOT use compression and DO NOT check md5. Do not reboot the device after the backup!!
3. After a successfull system backup, you will get a folder it your ext sd card mostly in ext_sdcard\TWRP\BACKUPS\Mi498HA14090161\<recovery_name>
4. Locate the folder on a PC and open it. There will be six files in the folder. Replace these files with the backup files that I provided you with in the download.
5. Now go to Restore option in TWRP and you will find the backup that you just created. The backup name will be the same but the system images will be changed as we just replaced the system and boot files.
6. Select the backup and restore.
Reboot your device after a successful backup and you should now have a fresh un-mod system.
You can directly use the 5.1.1 system image, but I suggest, you use the 5.1 system backup and update to 5.1.1 OTA.
And for the bootloop problem, I prefer backing-up the data of my device and do a complete system wipe. Wipe off the data, system partition and cache. This sholud set your device to a untouched state and hopefully there won't be any further problems.
Hit thanks if this helped you!! :good:

Phone not booting after FlashFire flash.

Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to look at this. I ran into a bootloop issue after updating my nexus 6 to a higher version of android. After I flashed the new version everything worked just fine but I kept getting the error message "Google play services has stopped" so I decided to re-flash something I thought I needed but after I flashed the file called "Modem firmware" it made me get stuck in a bootloop. The error I got during flashing in FlashFire was "IOException: write failed: ENOSPC (No space left on device)" and then after that infinite bootloop. I have TWRP installed but for some reason, I can't access my backup because it's asking for a decrypt code I didn't even setup. So is there a way to fix this? Possibly wipe the phone and install a custom ROM?
Thanks.

Wipe the phone, connect the N6 to your PC, and using ADB flash a stock ROM. Where the components are mismatched, flashing a stock ROM will resolve that issue and probably all your others. You will however need to flash your recovery and then your custom ROM - if you use one - as well as your root solution. Finally, whatever you do from now on, don't use Flashfire for the baseband.

Since I "routinely" flash modem zips through FF, I'm wondering if what you did was try to extract the modem img from the full software update? That is not a direction I would go in [emoji4]
There are modem flashable zips for the N6 that can be flashed through FF.
I also think the issue with accessing your back up is due to the user data partition being encrypted. What version of TWRP are you using? If not the newest (as of this writing 3.1.1-0), then that can also give you trouble.

Hey thanks for the help phone is running just fine now. I grabbed the factory image from the Google dev page and flashed it the hard way. For some reason ADB wouldn't mount /system after it was finished so I used fastboot to flash system, boot, radio, etc. Guess I won't use Flashfire for baseband anymore :laugh:

Phone is working fine now. The files were encrypted because the stock kernel I was using was obviously non-permissive so it automatically encrypted my files upon reboot before it bootlooped. Really appreciate the help though.
