Whoops. Looks like CWM, unlike TWRP, does not support mounting encrypted partitions (source: answers section here). So we have to fix TWRP touchscreen issues for you to have a satisfying recovery..

Mismatched partition size

I tried to flash your V2 but I get a mismatched partition size error. Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks,

[Moto G Android Development] nupi:
Ooops, I wasn't aware of that either; Still I will stick with CWM for now, it's not like there is that much stuff to sideload (which works just fine) right now :). I had been using TWRP on my Nexus 7 without any hitch so was just sort of assuming CWM would work with encryption, too. Kinda shocking it doesn't....
[Moto G Android Development] Andiii:
sorry this may sound for you like a kind of noobish question - but i'm still learning about android.....

is it possible to temporarily boot CWM without permanently flashing it - to do a nandroid-backup of stock?

the command should be: fastboot boot recovery.img

will this work with this build?
[Moto G Android Development] StrangerWeather:
Hey there! I just made a nandroid backup but I can find nothing in my CWM folder apart from a 36 byte file called RECOVERY_VERSION. Any ideas what may have happened?:confused:

I've received the new OTA update but then I was checked, the update failed and I had to wipe cache to get the phone to boot again!

" failed to verify entire file signature. Update fail"
[Moto G Android Development] a1Pha:
I am not sure if this is not a download error. Or maybe it is a new recovery (remember when we found out that the stock recovery is shipping with bugs) and it is checking for the signature of the old one..
[Moto G Android Development] Doublepranks:
It could be a entirely new recovery! Yes, it definitely could but then how do I fix it? Don't tell me I'm gonna have to flash the stock all the way back! What if extract stock ROM and flash the stock recovery itself?
[Moto G Android Development] a1Pha:
This should do the trick, I don't think you have to reflash stock completely ;) But I don't know if this works or what happens when you are rooted.
[Moto G Android Development] Doublepranks:
I flashed stock ROM, unrooted and wiped it all but still, the update still failing!

I read somewhere that changes on build.props and system folder could couse that issue, well i made a few modification:

add a key on build.props to hide software keys ( already removed )

replaced stock galery and camera apps ( galery app is gone,stock camera still there)

Should i open a new thread? like... I have no idea what to do now.

[Moto G Android Development] tarkin88:
happend to me too
[Moto G Android Development] flibblesan:
It's the new bootloader with KK causing the problems. If you flash the motoboot.img from a 4.3 ROM then you'll be able to use custom recoveries.
[Moto G Android Development] tarkin88:
But if i use a 4.3 bootloader not crash my KK ROM?

an can u confirm the steps? :

<CODE>mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img </CODE>

from fastboot?

can i use the motoboot.img of the US Global?
[Moto G Android Development] flibblesan:
It works fine here with no problems.

That command will work fine and will allow you to flash and use a custom recovery image. You can reflash the new bootloader afterwards if you like but you won't be able to use custom recovery until somebody works out why the new bootloader is preventing them from being used.

[Moto G Android Development] krypto16:
Did you flash the 4.3 bootloader first? The recovery will not work on the bootloader that came stock with 4.4.2 KK. Once you flash the 4.3 bootloader and then flash the recovery it will stick and you can root it from there
[Moto G Android Development] salingpusa:
Worked now. Thanks.

[Moto G Android Development] Entropy512:
They work fine if properly packed with a device tree. (I don't know about the CWM release, but the TWRP release had the DT tacked onto the kernel zImage. This works with 4.3 bootloaders but not 4.4 bootloaders. 4.4 bootloaders require a proper DT to be added to the boot image using a modified mkbootimg.

I've booted TWRP successfully on my device with a 4.4 bootloader - I could probably get CWM working but I'd prefer to fix TWRP's touch issues.
[Moto G Android Development] Ja_som:

[Moto G Android Development] alfick3:
Noob here. After perusing this thread a bit, I was curious about a couple things. Maybe I missed it, but has this CWM become more stable for everyday use? Or is it still in Alpha/beta stages? Once it's stable enough, will it be added to the "official" CWM and be included in ROM Manager? I haven't gotten my Moto G yet, but will be in about a month and a half after I get my tax refund back from my "uncle" named Sam. :) I'd love to be able to download and use ROM Manager on it for backups and so on.

Thanks for your time.

Hi, Im unable to mount USB storage using this recovery (or another one other I found hell knows where ...). According to this thread its not possible, is it? Or I must have missed the solution ...
[Moto G Android Development] Ja_som:
On KitKat you can't mount USB, you need 3rd party app, like StickMount.
[Moto G Android Development] a1Pha:
You can't mount USB storage since Moto G uses f2fs instead of vfat for internal storage.

If you only flashed the 4.4.2 as a zip you don't have the 4.4 bootloader which I'd required for the new recovery

[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
Ok, i'm doing something wrong as I cannot install CWM at all at the moment.

My scenario - have a XT1032 de.retail brought from Amazon - flashed US 4.4.2 several times but today I've got back on European version through flashing 4.3 ROM available + OTA (so my bootloader should still be 4.3)

Flashed 4.3 version - V2 and nothing - upgraded the bootloader and flashed V3 and nothing also.

A partiton mismached in the proces of flashing v3. Anyone got this?

Thanks.

But i didn't try to flash CWM just tried to temporarily boot it via fastboot boot recovery.img i use the Motorola ADB drivers from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48193757&postcount=6 and the minimal ADB tool. before the 4.2.2 update i could boot cwm v2 without issues.

Thanks in advance.
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
So!

European XT1032 -> flashed US 4.4.2 bootloader changed but downgraded -> Flashed EU 4.3 again and upgrade through OTA (so basically still on 4.3 bootloader -> trying to flash any recovery doesnt work - it will boot in stock recovery - even tried to downgrade the bootloader again, no results.

I copied the 4.3 german OTA ZIP to sdcard after a reboot the ota was recognized. I followed the steps in the screen to install. How can i check my bootloader Version? Dont't know which one i have now... sadly non cwm is bootable for me via fastboot Boot recovery.img. tried to boot v2 and v3 of CWM

Hello guys. I've got Moto G Tesco UK 4.4.2 OTA. I have tried to flash the latest CWM 6.0.4.6, but it didn't work. When I pressed Recovery in fastboot menu, I got screen with green android character and sign NO COMMAND.So I've flashed bootloader 4.3 and CWM 6.0.4.5. It works great.

My question: Is it ok when I have Android 4.4.2 and downgraded bootloader 4.3? Should I flash back bootloader 4.4 and try to flash the latest CWM once more? Is there any difference between bootloader 4.3 and 4.4?

[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
So, can someone that successfully flashed this on 4.4 bootloader confirm that this is working?

As after countless tries I can't make it work! Neither from bootloader, manually, etc.
[Moto G Android Development] michalurban:
Yes, this (CWM 4.0.4.6) works on bootloader 4.4 - I had been running Kitkat with 4.3 bootloader and cwm 4.0.4.5 - I flashed bootloader 4.4, then this cwm 4.0.4.6 and then I entered recovery just to make sure it worked (it did).

I had the ROM fixed from before by CWM 4.0.4.5 to not overwrite cwm with stock recovery (forgot that, dhacker :)) so it works even after reboot.

[Moto G Android Development] WiCiO_MeDi:
any chance for touch version?
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
So after more digging and head banged on my desk seem I found an answer to this.

If you are in my situation - retail 4.3 EU phone, flashed US 4.3 + 4.4.2 OTA and you try to downgrade again to 4.3 European/US you will not be 100% successful.

Why?

Well, it seems like the partitions have been updated in the process, and downgrading it's not supported.

You obviously can downgrade and flash stock and play around with the motoboot and stuff like that - but you will never been able to flash recovery under 4.3 + 4.4 OTA EU.

If someone is interested in this issue, can contact me and we can do some research & testing.
