Yes, and if you can't with this method use adb pull /cache.

But you must do this before flash the update or cache will be wiped, only download and when phone ask you if install, cancel.

Got it. Will not install.

Care to give me more instruction on doing adb pull /cache?

After that, then what? Where can I retrieved the file? What type of file it gonna be? Do I need to re-package it before uploading?

Thanks
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josalaito:
Use Es explorer to locate the file and it name in cache first, and try to copy it to SD, if you can't i'll tell you the ADB method.

so what version are you flashing? Blur_Version.14.14.16.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US or Blur_Version.14.14.16.falcon_umts.AWSRetail.en.US?

what model you have? XT1032 or XT1034?

simply enable adb over usb and run the command "adb pull /cache" the update.zip should be there

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josalaito:
Ok, plug the phone to pc with usb debugging enabled.

1- Create a folder in C:/ called Cache.

2- Open CMD and Go to your sdk folder where you have adb installed.

3- Type adb pull /cache

4- You should have all cache files in sdcard, backup it to the folder you created before.

5- Upload the Ota zip file

He posted in both of those threads at exactly the same time, probably to get more attention to the fact, stating he had it and needed help pulling it.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmoore4294:
No. It's not simple. Nobody has the 4.4 update yet save for a few people. Therefore, root has not yet been attained on 4.4 on the Moto G and none of the root options available for 4.3 have worked. You would know if you had read back a few posts. Please don't come in here and clog up this thread with these short, unhelpful posts. It is making it hard for OP to hear from those who are actually trying to help and know what they are doing.

3. I soft-bricked my phone last night trying to root the Stock Kitkat. All the known method out there are nonusable with Kitkat. Luckily I was able to re-flash my phone with factory image.

I think what need to happen is OP needs to factory reset his phone. The run

you could also try doing the same search on the phone with a file manager

he cant flash twrp or cwm though, the 4.4 update reflashes stock recovery like the nexus 4 did, no matter how many times you flash a new recovery it will replace it with stock...

you need to boot a recovery and use the option to disable it before rebooting (deletes recovery-from-boot.p),

i gave a script to do it which i tried and worked fine for me, but not sure if the OP tied it or what happened ?

Alright, I was just thinking - what do those options do anyway?

1. "Install later" - means don't do anything.

2. "Install now" - means download OTA and install it after reboot, right?

If he chose 2. and hasn't rebooted (hopefully), OTA is somewhere either in /cache or /sdcard, right?

But we don't know which option he has chosen.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aeonlinux:
He chose install later, not download later. The update is already downloaded. The update's zip should be in the chace folder, where it will be removed once he chooses to install now.

OP

First download this Link and add it to the sdcard

Here is an easy way to flash recovery, extract this to your desktop http://www.uploadhosting.co/uploads/213.205.240.108/FlashRecovery.rar

make sure you have usb debugging turned on then double click the .bat file in the extracted folder (DoubleClickMe.bat)

your phone will reboot to bootloader and flash recovery (ignore pink text its normal) when finished boot to recovery

from recovery flash the .zip you just added to your sdcard,

this will root the phone, don't worry when you do the OTA root and recovery will be removed.

reboot and install this file manager Link press the button in the top left and select "root" and then "data"

it should now prompt you to allow root access, select accept.

press back and select cache, if its still empty close the app, swipe it from recants and look again.

I have been following threads on here for a couple of days now, and guys give it a rest.

It would seem that only very select few have been getting it, and some of them maybe lying to the rest of us. I know that guy that posted the YouTube vid was bull. His demo didn't show anything that the moto g doesn't do already. Not one of the new features was shown. I want it as bad as you guys do, even though I am a noob to. It took me forever to finally root my L9 P769, yet finally got it done lol. I just learned how to side load using adb when kit kat came out for the Nexus 7 2nd gen. It was fun learning, and I may want to learn to do more. XDA has been awesome when it comes to how to do different things with android. I love the site. Props to all of you on here that do what you do. Hopefully we will have the ota in few days if not sooner.:good:

So... the update.zip it's an universal one? That's sound interesting, I mean, the differences between the XT1032 and the XT1034 is that the XT1034 includes AWS frequencies for the US... but if the update where universal, it means that theorically it could be compatible with every Moto G firmware, don't you think?
