I assume you have unlocked your bootlader?
You can either go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2979149 or download it directly at http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/275. Choose the fastboot method at the bottom of the twrp website.

Thanks for your reply. I wanted to install cm12 to get a taste of lollipop. But i installed the ota that was captured for the xt1068 without root or unlocking my my bl. Ill wait for a while before trying this out. Maybe until the devs make cm12 more stable for our devices.

That would be my recommendation too, at least cm12 related. But you definitely should install twrp so you can make a full nandroid-backup of your device. Never underestimate the usefulness of a backup. You make a backup of stock-recovery and install twrp with Flashify. So you can go back to stock recovery if a new ota arrives.

Will surely have a look into it. Do you know if we could get a double tap to wake feature? I hope cm12 gets that.

No. It's a feature that has to be integrated into the kernel. You can read about it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57601888

anyways to backup everything? coz im not on a custom recovery already?

You can try the app Helium from playstore or you can make a backup with ADB,code would be:
adb backup -all -system
To restore the backup, connect your device via ADB and:
Code:
adb restore <filename.ab>

Ok so I unlocked my BL. Now im going to install twrp using fast boot. it says
"Download the above file into your platform-tools dir."
What directory would this be now?

The path where your fastboot.exe resides

i seem to be doing something wrong over here.
I placed the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-titan in the folder where fastboot.exe and adb.exe reside.
my phone was in fastboot mode then i opened a cmd window in the folder where fastboot.exe is and typed "fastboot flash recovery" and i dragged openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-titan into the cmd window and hit enter. I got
getvar : partition-type:recovery
getvar : max-download-size
download : 00978000
flash : recovery
Then i scroll to recovery and all i get it bootloader unlocked warning and a blank screen. wonder what im missing.

also got a problem.
i got twrp flashed, but i can not make a backup. after that disappointment i checked the app and it says "it seems we cant write to sd card properly …"
they want to patch this. but i am afraid that i can not get ota after that. is there a disadvantage ?
i always thought flashing recovery through fastboot would make the job... so why can i not do a backup.
either to internal nor sd card
edit sorry .. i found the QA

Anyway to relock the boot loader?

[Q] Installing OTA lollipop after unlocking bootloader?

Hi, I have a Moto G 2nd Gen XT1064 running 4.4.4 KK (21.11.23). I rooted, unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. I'm really confused about how I go about getting the 5.0.2 OTA update my phone says is available. I tried downloading it 3 times and after I clicked to install it the phone powers off and then puts me in a bootloop while still on KK. I wonder why that is? So then I install the backup I made in TWRP and it gets me out of the bootloop.
Anyway, is it still possible to use the phones built-in OTA update service somehow or do I need to flash an OTA update using recovery? I read through maybe a dozen threads here but I couldn't figure it out(and I always thought I was a tech savvy guy ) If anybody can help me in any way I'd be extremely grateful!

TWRP is the problem, not the unlocked bootloader. You need to use stock recovery to install an OTA, not a custom recovery
Download your firmware version, extract the recovery.img and install using fastboot

The same way you flashed TWRP.
Extract the .zip and put the recovery.img wherever you need it to do this:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Thank you so much ThisIsJason, I flashed the recovery.img for my firmware I downloaded off motofirmware.com then I let my phone download the OTA and when I clicked to install this time it worked. Thank you so much cuz I was really frustrated and I just couldn't for the life of me figure out what I needed to do so your suggestion is very much appreciated.
Tharmor, this is what I did:
I checked my phone to see what firmware I had, look in the settings menu, then in "about phone" and I think it'll list your firmware there. Then go to the website ThisIsJason mentioned, and download your phones firmware (mine was 21.85.23 for the XT1064 model). Then what I did was I unzipped the recovery.img file into my fastboot folder, then I put my phone in recovery mode and plugged in the usb cable and started the fastboot program. Then I copy and pasted
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
into the program, hit Enter and it flashed the recovery.img to my phone. Then I unplugged the usb and booted the phone back up normally, I went into settings menu, then "about phone" and then I think at the top of the next menu clicked an option about software updates. So I let the phone download the update and then clicked to install it and viola, it worked a charm.

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

Tried to flash in CWM no luck ?

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?
Regards,
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.

All you can try now is go and flash the factory firmware stock (according previous android version 5.0.2 or 6.0)
Factory firmware flashing doesnt require bootloader to be unlocked so u can try this

As I previously said (according to your previous android version means when phone is dead then whatever is the android version (5.0.2 or 6.0) you need to flash the files.)
For eg.
If (your phone is on 5.0.2) then
you need to flash stock 5.0.2 firmware.
elseif (your phone is on 6.0) then
you need to flash stock 6.0 firmware.
endif.
Note: Don't flash wrong files, else it's gonna brick the device.
Don't ever downgrade from latest android version to previous.
Thanks

You are already on 6.0.1 Marshmallow. You said it yourself. You said you even still have stock recovery. So, seems like you don't need to do anything?
Maybe you wrote something wrong or left something out? Please clarify, and we'll be glad to help if we can.

As far as I know you need to be on the bootloader screen, not recovery screen. Maybe that was your problem? RSDLite just automates a bunch of stuff ADB does.
Also, sometimes you need to use msfastboot instead of fastboot commands. I sort of remember why, but I don't want to state anything incorrectly. But try msfastboot if fastboot doesn't work.
For ROMs I use TWRP, so I'm not an ADB expert -- but I have used it. However, it's been over two years since I've had to flash a full firmware image via ADB (but I have flashed individual elements since then like modems, boot logos, etc.), so I'm just going to say yes flash every partition manually.
