Hi guys
i am on 4.4.3 in moto x and i received 4.4.4 for ota but i cant update because i unlocked bootloader and twrp in recovery,
how do i install 4.4.3,
i think install a recovery stock but i did not find recovery stock for 4.4.3 only for 4.4.2
or reinstall all stock for 4.4.2 make it downgrade.
what do you think?
You can likely find 4.4.3 firmware or even 4.4.4 and flash it manually from the links here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2923347
If you downgrade you could brick. If you successfully downgrade and take an OTA, you will definitely brick.
So not a wise choice. ?
Also, questions go in the Q&A section. For future reference. I'll ask this be moved. ?

This guide has sections for many tasks, including flashing firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603358
If you use the fastboot method, you could likely just flash your stock recovery once you get the proper firmware, and if you need to, mfastboot can flash the system image. Should be good for OTA then.
But again, if you find the 4.4.4 firmware for your model... Flashing it fresh manually is always my preference. ?
sorry i was think posted on Q&A,
so i install stock 4.4.3 and began wait for ota 4.4.4
or directly flash 4.4.4?
well, are not problem install directly 4.4.4 and blick mi phone?
***************
sorry i dont see the continuation answer
so, i try to find the 4.4.4 fw for mi motox and flashing via rsd??

If you find the proper 4.4.4 for your device, that's how I personally prefer to do it.
Be aware it'll wipe your device with RSD though. Apps, pics, music, whatever... Gone . So you can move anything you want to keep to your PC.
Using the fastboot /mfastboot method will not wipe your stuff. Pics, music and everything. As long as you don't erase or flash userdata. Apps still gone though.
Your choice. See the guide I linked for instructions.
Good luck!
And once on 4.4.4...you can not ever downgrade.
thanks, i didnt find 4.4.4 for mi device only 4.4.3 the same like i use today,
i can use rds for flash the 4.4.3 and wait for ota without any problems?
I'm pretty sure only the XT1053 aka TMobile/Developer Edition has a 4.4.3 firmware. Everyone else went from.4.4.2 straight to 4.4.4.
You can confirm by checking About and looking at firmware version it should end with Retail.en.US
If you just need the 4.4.3 recovery to flash and upgrade you can find it in the 4.4.4 OTA thread here under Reminders: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/xt1053-4-4-4-ota-update-zip-t2885484
If you want the 4.4.4 firmware you can find it in this discussion second post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/help-xt1053-half-downgraded-t2934605
Yup ?
Same warning, RSD will erase everything on your phone. It will be as it was the day you bought it.
thanks
@dtg7 a screenshoot
mi device has Retail.en.US.
so if i understand, i can put directly 4.4.4 from this post??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/help-xt1053-half-downgraded-t2934605
If you are T-Mobile, yup.
---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------
Not another carrier.
really not, im from mexico and use telmex but really i dont why t-mobile.
I would wait for your firmware, unless someone confirms T-Mobile will work for you. If your radio doesn't work, or anything else, you'll be stuck on T-Mobile 4.4.4 and won't be able to then flash your stock 4.4.3 anymore.
Patience. You aren't really missing out on anything. ?
@Darth thank really i want update because the ota update appear and that's annoying, but well i try with 4.4.3 flash rsd and wait for ota in stock
well if i became a 4.4.4 for root only need supersu??
i question that if its convenient upgrade o wait in 4.4.3

You're bootloader is definitely unlocked? Then yes, rooting is easy on 4.4.4.

This is kind of a deal breaker for me, that and the broken rar archive. BUT when it starts working I would like to use your ROM because I love stock roms with minor modifications and debloat. Did you use this xposed framework? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
When I flashed the completely stock version, it broke, no data/wifi/bluetooth, and everything crashed. I think it was because I wiped first and since this is an OTA I shouldn't have done that, but now I am worried about trying again, since I just got my phone back up and running. I must say thanks for that, because flashing using TWRP and your ROM gave me TWRP back, so I was able to downgrade back to 410c stock from your ROM. I'll wait for the radio problem to be fixed before I try again.

You can flash safely with TWRP. Go ahead and upgrade to Stock Lollipop via KDZ then you can try flashing one of brossovitch's ROM. It worked for me. Just follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3088131 guide if you get broken IMEI or/and Baseband. It will help you get it back as well as get Lollipop on you phone.
Good luck!
So if I read that right, you have to flash the Stock 5.0.2 using TWRP, then flash the Stock 4.4.2 using the LG Flash Tool, then flash the Stock 5.0.2 using the LG Flash Tool, then root then unlock bootloader (is that necessary with the D415? I never did that before) and then use Rashr to flash TWRP and then flash brossovitch's LollipOptimus ROM, just to get the IMEI/Baseband to work? Seems like a lot of hurdles. Why not just flash the 5.0.2 KDZ and then root and flash TWRP possibly with or without bootloader unlocking and then flash the LollipOptimus ROM, or even just flashing it like an OTA from TWRP? Will the LG Official OTA break the IMEI/Baseband?
And has anyone tried the linked Xposed framework?
Thanks for your help!

No, that is if you had a failed flashed and did not have Stock Download mode which you lose if you unlock the boot loader (which is technically unlocked). Unlocking bootloader is optional, I should put that.
If you have unlocked boot loader then you need to either flash the lag.img or bross's stock ROM with laf.img in it.

I'm going to try xposed again.
I'm also going to upload the partitions needed to make the bseband work.. There's a way to be easily flash them to go to either.
Stock lollipop is just different. And the custom roms are based on KK. so we gotta be able to go back if we want..
We can.
With L90 utilities you can flash your laf partition or toggle it between fastboot mode & s/w Upgrade (firmware download) mode.
From there you can use adb to flash the proper partitions.
IE:"fastboot flash radio modem.bin"
Which would likely work..

Just restored your latest nandroid and is WORKING GREAT SO FAR !!! Just one thing , how did you guys get rid of the annoying t-mobile voicemail notification ?
Am new to TWRP so excuse me for asking, but since I restored back to 4.4.2 my phone is better than it was before. I would like to upgrade, but I'd like to be able to revert back to 4.4.2 if I have a bad experience. I backed up my phone with TWRP, can I flash the kdz with the LG tool, and then root and get back to TWRP and flash the ROM to make the radio work, and then back up the 5.0.2 ROM and switch between the two?

Sent from my LollipOptimus™
Since I cannot reply directly to the main thread or the How to fix IMEI/Baseband Unknown Issue (D415) thread, I will ask here.
I am currently running the KitKat stock and rooted, with the original laf.img and TWRP recovery, de-odexed system, and several unwanted stock apps uninstalled.
From my arrangement, to upgrade, I can go to download mode using Vol + and Plug USB (because I haven't zero'd out my laf, right?), and use the 2014 LG tool to flash the Lollipop KDZ. This will cause the data/wifi/bluetooth signals to stop working, as well as losing root and TRWP (correct me if wrong). From there I would need to root and flash back TWRP and then from TWRP flash the LP-[5.0.2]_L90_D415[boot-system-laf-aboot-modem.zip] to get the signals back.
At this point, would I then be at stock rooted lollipop with TWRP and download mode and have a useable phone? If I do a CES flash as recommended, would I lose all of my currently installed apps and data? If so, I should disable xposed first, right?

You WILL lose all data but you need to use CES to fix, I believe, the partitions. You DO NOT have to flash the LP-[5.02]_L90_D415[boot-system-laf-aboot-modem.zip] if you go to KK then to L using Lg Flash tool. After succesful Lolli flash, then root, install twrp, and flash one of Bross's rom.
But if I want to go to stock 5.0, with twrp and download mode intact, what do I do? Flash using LG Flash Tool, root and flash twrp and I'm done? This won't cause radio problems?

I promise, if you follow my guide, everything will be fixed. You only lose radio if you flash something wrong. For example, flashing one of bross's ROMs while on kk. That is a bad idea. After you flash to lolli with lg flash tool, you can root and flash twrp. You WILL NOT lose Download Mode unless you zero out the laf by following the Unlocking Boot loader guide.

I am using a rooted moto g 2014. I have an ota update notification. how to install the the ota update? I'm using twrp 2.8.6.0 custom recovery.
You need to go back to stock recovery to install the updates. However the update might fail on a rooted phone and you might need to unroot it. Also you need to remove rooted apps like xposed to have a successful OTA. For a smooth OTA, I would suggest you move back to stock ROM and recovery and then OTA update.

Here is the post to flash the stock recovery and firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-5-0-2-lxb22-46-t3019612
Make sure you back up your data before you perform the procedure. Also for being safe side, back up all the contents of your internal memory.
Good luck
I keep seeing a link to sbf.droid-developers.rog for stock Moto X firmware files. It appears that site is no longer maintained. Is there any other resource for stock firmwares out there?
I'm currently on rooted 4.4.2 (Moto X 2013) and was hoping to use Sunshine to unlock my bootloader, return to stock, take the new Republic 5.1 OTA that's due out soon, and root from there with an unlocked bootloader.
I believe if you upgrade any further then you currently are (EG: Android 4.4.4 or higher), you will not be able to root and unlock your Republic Wireless phone...
Hey
Apparently am not able to send outside links so look for the stock firmware in yandex. Hope you understand

if it makes you feel better, I have an unlocked bootloader and I used the file above yesterday (using the instructions on here to restore to stock, editing the xml file, etc). worked fine! I was nervous too, after taking the 5.1 RW update, rooting, and messing something up myself with an older xposed version (I was NOT paying attention. LOL). All better! Nice to have that file handy now!
I was just able to take the EMR update first through system update OTA. Now it won't give me the 5.1 OTA. I currently have stock recovery, no root, with no system mods. I tried manually installing the 5.1 OTA but it doesn't work. It says it was aborted because the package expected a different build fingerprint. But I'm on 212.154.2.ghost_row.RepublicWireless.en.US Any suggestions for getting the OTA to work, or do I have to get root and TWRP back and flash the 5.1 SBF? If so, is the 894.64 MB zip from file factory for sure the one I need for Republic Wireless? I just don't want to brick my phone. Thanks!
---------- Post added at 10:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------
I was doing some research and I think I forgot 1 step to make sure I'm 100% back to stock. I made no system mods and I did flash stock recovery, but I forgot about the boot image I was using so I wasn't seeing the bootloader unlocked message. Would that make the manual OTA fail/abort and/or also make system update not recognize 5.1 is needed? I'm guessing it does. So I'll try getting TWRP back and flashing the correct stock boot image for 4.4.4, then remove root/TWRP again and see if it will take the OTA, either from system update or manual OTA. Hopefully this works, or at least reminds others to take this step if necessary. Thanks for any feedback!

Are you installing the full 5.1 recovery or are you trying to flash just the OTA? The OTA file itself is just a diff not the full recovery. The file linked above should be the full system.
I'm trying to get the OTA to work first. If I can't, then I'll use the full SBF. I've already returned to stock recovery. I just wanted to check to make sure someone has used the full SBF that is posted and that there are no issues with it. Thanks!
I had rooted my K3 note by replacing the stock recovery with TWRP with the help of SP Flash tools and installing SuperSU.
Recently the Marshmallow OTA update rolled out for the Indian K3 Note. However, when I try installing it, the phone simply reboots without updating. Going through the forums, I believe that this is due to the absence of the stock recovery which seems to be required for installing the update.
I also believe that if I try manually flashing the OTA update zip through TWRP, it'll probably fail, since this is what most people have attempted to do so have experienced.
So how do I go about installing the OTA update now? Do I have to reinstall the stock recovery or is there a workaround via TWRP? If I do have to unroot and install stock recovery, how do I go about it? I don't want to go through the hassles of unrooting my phone to install this update, neither do I want to apply any unofficial ROMs such as the cuoco92 one.
Suggest me some solutions guys..
Thanks in advance

Stop spreading misinformation mate, if you don't know what you're talking about. I've spent the whole evening looking through the internet regarding my query where all of them say that the OTA update only works with stock recovery. Flashing the official OTA update with TWRP will most definitely not work.
There is no definitive article or post which explains how to do it with a rooted phone and custom recovery, which is what I'm looking for.
