[Q] Taking 4.4.4 OTA

Hey guys, I just got the 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 update notification on my XT1058 (Movistar, Chile). The thing is, I have TWRP so I know I can't take it right now. The device is not rooted nor it has xposed installed. My question is, how do I safely go back to stock recovery? Thanks in advance

Extract the recovery.img from your carriers 4.4.3 sbf and flash just the recovery image via fastboot. Commands should look like this.

There's only 4.4.2 available on the sbf list to download. Is it ok or should I take another step?

They are the same (the 4.4.2 / 4.4.3 recoveries).

I managed to flash the stock recovery, but now I'm unable to turn on wifi. Any thoughts?

Did you take the OTA? How did you flash stock recovery? It sounds like you borked your /persist partition...

No I haven't, as I can't download it via mobile network. I downloaded the 4.4.2 stock firmware, took the recovery file from the zip and did fastboot recovery recovery.img. After booting and realizing I couldn't turn on the wifi (slides immediately to off) I did a factory reset but it didn't solve it

Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik, then rebooting? That used to solve a similar problem on another phone.

Unsuccesful, sadly. Will try to restore a previous backup made with twrp

OTA 4.4
Do you have to go back to stock recovery if you're using TWRP recovery? Or is there a way to apply the update while using TWRP? I downloaded the update, told it to install and it rebooted to TWRP. The only zip I found was the old update under cache. Is there a way to do this or where do I find the newly downloaded file to install?
When I couldn't find the file I just rebooted. After booting up the phone attempted to reboot and install about 3 or 4 times before saying unsuccessful and operating normally.

You have to use stock recovery.... Just flash TWRP back on afterwards.

Who downgraded? The OP doesn't appear to have downgraded - he only flashed the stock recovery from 4.4.2 (which is the same as the 4.4.3 stock recovery). I'm confused.

I am in the process of deleting it I didn't see your post about them being the same. He has to have an unlocked bootloader to have twrp correct?

Yup, although safestrap recovery (for locked bootloaders) is based on TWRP, it isn't the same. So at least he will be able to root again afterwards. Being unlocked doesn't affect the ability to take an OTA though. I've seen some people confused about that and tell people that they need to re-lock before taking an OTA. This is NOT the case. Stock recovery is required though.
Don't want to confuse anybody though. Just ignore the above. All that really matters is you must have stock recovery and no significant modifications to /system (no Xposed, etc.).

I'm on 4.4.2 for Sprint, i got the update to install 4.4.4, after reading this thread and the guide to flash OTA i see I have to return to stock recovery. My question is in the guide it says '' if you have at any point of time flashed any 4.4.2 firmware along with the boot loader 30.B3 or 30.B4
DO NOT FLASH THE OTA, YOU WILL HAVE A HARD BRICKED MOTO''...... my bootloader says 30.B4 , so should i take the OTA?

Hmm I'm thinking that what you read might have been for another variant....I'm not familiar with the bootloader version.
Regardless, if you are concerned, you are completely safe to flash the ENTIRE stock 4.4.2 SBF, then you can SAFELY take the 4.4.4 OTA with no risk. And if you take the OTA immediately after flashing the entire SBF, you'll already have stock recovery and you can just flash TWRP and re-root AFTER you are on 4.4.4.
:good:
(The above instructions ONLY apply to the Sprint variant. Not any of the variants that received 4.4.3.)

System.img is too big for the standard Fastboot.exe included in the Android SDK/PlatformTools. You must use the Moto tweaked fastboot (aka mfastboot) -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/X-STUFF/mfastboot-442.zip

[Q] Downgraded??

I was on Android 5.0 lollipop when something glitched and my phone wouldn't get out of bootloader mode, so i flash stock android. When it then finished and went back to 4.4.4 i tried flashed the factory images again to lock the bootloader, but it wouldn't let me because it kept saying "downgrading" or something along those lines. Now my phones sysetem version is 21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.Us which is the one of 5.0 when im clearly on 4.4.4. I am currently rooted with a custom recovery, any ideas on how i could possibly get back to android L?

the A method doesn't work, ive tired it before. It doesn't let me relock the bootloader because it thinks im downgraded the system. I think ill try the B method. In order to instal the custom rom would i have to use a custom recovery? how would i go about doing it (P.S. XT1064 rooted with TWRP)

currently I BELIEVE if you have flashed MOTOBOOT.img (bootloader) from a 5.0 version you can not go back to a 4.4.4 version, but you can still run a 4.4.4 rom on a 5.0 bootloader. a locked / unlocked bootloader should not stop OTA updates. Having the wrong recovery will stop OTA installing. and mismatched bootloader / recoveries MAY cause problems.
to flash titan prime rom use TWRP (make backup 1st) place zipped tp-rom on sdcard and gapps.zip and following instruction in the rom thread
So, A method (blur versions) will always fail if you have TWRP installed, you need stock recovery that matches your rom on phone now , the 1st from moto firmware should work via mfastboot method.

Why would you want to do that? There's absolutely no reason for relock.

[Q] How badly is my device ****ed up?

Ok, so here's the deal. I flashed RETAILDSDSALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-23_cid7_CFC.xml on my 2014 EU Moto G XT1068 and now ADB is unauthorized on my PC when I try to boot it up but the device isn't even detected in Fastboot, so I can't flash jack ****, but I can access the stock recovery and ADB Sideload from there.
The phone is stuck in a boot loop - it just sticks to the WARNING - BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED screen.
What do I do? Any help is greatly appreciated.

if you came down from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 without a full factory reset / wipe it hangs..... fixable
this zip in my signature has everything you need
download the 4.4.4 easy installer in my signature (choose correct .23 version -dsdsall) has instructions, all drivers , adb files and firmware and a auto restore script - that should fix

yes 5.02 easy will install as well , but then if you want to go back to 4.4.4 you will need a unlocked boot loader

Razr I XT890 4.4.2 EU OTA update

I'm surprised that nobody else has uploaded any of the OTAs yet, so I thought I'd start.
I uploaded it on 2 servers, in case one is down:
Blur_Version.91.2.26001.XT890.Retail.en.EU.zip:
wicked fast: https://mega.nz/#!FU4TBDyb!Cl3OB3M2GTvG-gcDK0vWQNzI090EFJ60suqJpzPsiQo
also fast: http://180upload.com/ag1ccjfznluh
Again, this is stock Razr I EU OTA from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2
This should be very handy for the ones who still haven't received the OTA so you can flash it manually.
Please note that the GPT gets flashed, so a downgrade to 4.1.2 can be tricky after taking this update.

Can i flash this with rsd-lite when i already have kitkat OTA? I would like to flash again kitkat, because i had reboots with the stock.

No, those are not fastboot files, only the OTA. There are no released fastboot files available for kitkat so there is nothing you can flash with RSD

Can sombody give me a alive link? not sure why its posted here cus I ment for the twrp installer

The stock recovery can be extracted from a RSD-Lite package. Than reboot in fastboot and use the command "fastboot flash recovery <recovery>". Now u will have the stock recovery instead of CWM.
Do know that going from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2 with the OTA update requires no modification to the system partition, except from adding files. Modifying files or deleting files from the system partition will make the update fail. So if u only have root installed through recovery then there is a hugh change everything works. But if u deleted some bloatdware, then it most likely will fail.

Here i thought i had to root first then flash custom recovery ?

Can I apply this OTA update over a standard 4.1.2?. I am using 4.1.2 from Personal Argentina , recovery is stock, but only I have root. I know that is not update to 4.4.2 of my versión so I should go to retail BR or EU but if I flash via RSD I will lost all my settings.
So if I update using this OTA (or BR OTA) to go to 4.4.2 from other 4.1.2, can be a problem?

Claudio.

If you are in fastboot mode, the recovery's should flash just fine If u have an unlocked bootloader. Should not be more than 5-10 seconds to finish. If something goes wrong it will say it on screen and even in the terminal on your PC.

ALE-L21 Bootloop after OTA last night?

Hello all,
I've rooted my P8Lite L21 using the custom recovery method, flashed the supersu.zip, then restored the original recovery.
Yesterday I had an OTA and now phone reboot once during system boot, and at the second time it hangs during boot.
What can I do to recover this? I have stock recovery, and when I try to VOLDOWN+POWER it never goes to fastboot. (last time I had to use adb reboot-bootloader but now I can't reach system\adb..)
Can you help?
Thanks, cheers,

Hello,
You can boot to fastboot with this method:
Connect phone with PC then power off
Now push two buttons VOLDOWN+POWER+MicroUSB now you can install any stock ROM with fastboot commands and suitable *.img(boot.img, cust.img, system.img)
P.S
What OTA(number) arrive to you?

Worked like a charm Thanks a lot! I don't know the OTA number.. Still can't get into system :|
I'll try flashing TWRP from here and then i don't know which rom to use.. I'd like CM12 but i'm not sure its supported.
Can you suggest any stable ROM ?
Thanks

I'm downloading "Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21 V100R001C432B171 (Europe)". Is this flashable from fastboot? Yes, i'm unlocked. Does it need the hiSuite or fastboot.exe will suffice?

Wait my friend this is single sim ROM
I must download dual sim if you have dual sim device
Yes I'm not shure but if you want install B170 you need first downgrade to B052 then you can install via OTA best and last ROM for you country

Yes, I know this is single SIM. But, why do you say that I need to downgrade to B052 and then OTA? Can't i flash the B170 directly?
The other question i had is, how to flash this. Hisuite or fastboot.exe?
Thanks

Because after downgrade you can install any firmware via OTA! (ROM B052 is from the box!)

If you don't see any problem, I will try to flash B170 directly, since my bootloader is already unlocked. What do you think?
About the link you sent, the site appears in English, but then it changes to russian? I cannot get it back to EN.
Thanks

OK
Try this. Use Huawei update extractor in forum xda have link to it. Open the UPDATE.APP and extract the following files: Recovery.img, Boot.img, Cust.img, System.img
Then use fastboot commands to flash B171 ROM
I wish you success!

Hi there,
I have a similar problem: bootloop!
I'm comming from B170 and installed 7 HD 1.2 ROM and got some errors, I thougt it would be an good to go the long way to B008 or better B010. After so searching I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64483642&postcount=43
- did not step 1 an under-pressed flashing recovery in step 2 and 3, thought I could yet use TWRP.
Obviously, that was the mistake.
At step 4 I recognized that I have to do step 1 to go on.
that worked an I copied the update.zip to internal card, initialised the update.
Not sure it got to 100% but think so.
Result bootloop, can't get to recovery, only fastboot
Tried to flash every thing: B052, B170, and 136a, even the boot.img and recovery.img of B010 and B008
no errors but still bootloop.
PLEASE HELP!!
is there a full version of B080 somewhere to flash by fastboot? or any options to flash the update.zip of B080 again?
All other proposals are welcome!

First 7 HD 1.2 ROM work only over the B010!!!
Second in this archive have the instructions to install Beta B008 why you not did everything described in the instructions?
Third when install stock firmware RECOVERY must be original not TWRP!!!
Now you must install stok recovery, make hard reset then install B052
After that you can install every stock firmware for your region! or follow the instruction to install B008=>B010=>7 HD 1.2 ROM

I flashed Stock and restarted and flashed B052. What do you mean with hard reset? I not comming in any menu. Only fastboot works.
Still bootloop

fastboot

Hm, this is very strange!
What device do you have? and which region use?

adb reboot recovery --- says: error: device '(null)' not found
if I try with serialnumber
adb -s W3D7XXXXXXXX reboot recovery ---- says error: device 'W3D7XXXXXXXX' not found
but ---- fastboot devices ----says at the same time: W3D7XXXXXXXX

ALE-L21 Germany
So B170 worked in the first place

Try this method and ROM
May be you must use google translator because tutorial is for Bulgarian people
