Yes.

(I bought an unlocked retail UK Moto G, flashed the retail DE 4.3 firmware, then updated to retail DE 4.4.)

That doesn't seem to work for me. When I push all three buttons, the phone just boots into 4.4 after a while. I tried several times.
[Moto G General] cra1g321:
Yes i just installed it the other night, i think i'll stick with Dalvik then.
[Moto G General] drfr:
Maybe just try repeatedly. Didn' t work for me at first either.
[Moto G General] gee2012:
Try: `adb reboot recovery` in cmd (as administrator).
[Moto G General] Mr Ace:
I'm on a locked tesco mobile network, but with the normal UK ROM. Will I, when kitkat is released, still get the update??
[Moto G General] tkelly0727:
yes you still will
[Moto G General] MrKaon:
ART works perfectly as long as you don't mess with something else been using it over a month now without any problem. Most apps are already been updated in play store anyway. But as you said still is experimental option.
[Moto G General] haki.gr:
LIke what? I've also been using it at a Νexus 4, Nexus 5 and the Moto G and I haven't encountered any malfunction or incompatibility.
[Moto G General] MrKaon:
Xposed framework.
[Moto G General] haki.gr:
Ahhh, OK then! I was referring to totally stock conditions.
[Moto G General] Spleeny97:
Ok, I didn't know Motorola name their updates like that (that's weird)

Thanks again for KK fr
[Moto G General] jnnar:
Why the UK firmware user that recieved the update don't upload somewhere the file, like someone did with the de one

Any non-Tesco users in the UK receive the 4.4.2 update yet? It's funny that they are getting it before the sim-free people...
[Moto G General] lukas033:
Here you are :)
[Moto G General] bobcat913:
I was on tesco but didn't get it so I went on UK retail and still haven't got it
[Moto G General] Krisshp:
Nobody from UK has kitkat

The. Guy luka003. A few posts down. Bought a UK PHONE from tesco but Is NOT IN UK. He's in Slovakia!!!

So he doesn't count. Also NO ONE Who actually lives In the uk got kitkat ! No one.

Just have to wait

That didn't work but when I push power and volume up I get into recovery!
[Moto G General] Ja_som:
it doesn't matter where you are, but which version you have e.g. en.Gb, en.US etc., RETAIL, TESCO, etc.
[Moto G General] gee2012:
Dude get your facts straight, if you bought a German Moto and lived in the US you`d still get the German KK update. What update you get is only defined by the phone`s fingerprint (sales code) and not the location of the phone.
[Moto G General] TotalD3str4ct:
Not that... :( the update file.

I guess it's late... as the phone deletes the file after updating, right?
[Moto G General] teodorpk:
I just spoke with a support guy in motorola uk support chat. He explained that the update for the uk retail version is not yet live, but will be released this month.
[Moto G General] jusada:
Strange that tesco has got it rolling out. Though it doesn't seem that wide yet as only 1 or 2 people have reported it. All seems rather odd.
[Moto G General] S0bes:
Could you please share with me screenshots which show the list of available languages?
[Moto G General] lukas033:
There are the same languages as in the Android 4.3
[Moto G General] Krisshp:
Sorry, wow, I thought the service E.G T mobile, vodaphone would push it...

[Moto G General] gee2012:
No problem bro, yes we learn every day :) Thank god for that.
[Moto G General] papawela5:
you have 4.4.2 OTA file?
[Moto G General] gee2012:
There are 2 Europea OTA`s (German and French) posted bro in this thread if you mean those.
[Moto G General] papawela5:
I mean from tesco
[Moto G General] jusumgeezer:
Well this is just bloody priceless, I bought mine from TESCO but couldn't unlock it so took it back & exchanged it. Flashed the unbranded UK 4.3 then later the US 4.4.2 but phone not behaving too well. Tried to flash the German 4.3 to receive the OTA but it failed to downgrade. Now I'm sat waiting for the unbranded 4.4.2 for UK & Tesco users already had it! Bloody typical :eek:

I guess nobody on TESCO has caught the OTA before installing? I'm tempted to go back to TESCO 4.3 just to see if I get it...
[Moto G General] Caz42:
I'm on Tesco phone that I unlocked so I could use my Vodaphone sim and I don't have the update, still saying 4.3 on mine.
[Moto G General] TotalD3str4ct:
I wouldn't really say that UK and tesco users already have it. Only one guy reported it so far, but seems that he missed to save the OTA file.
[Moto G General] death__machine:
I've got the UK/GB version and have been waiting for the OTA and getting tired :P, but I won't have to install all my apps again.

If I were to put the german version(so I can add the 4.4 OTA for that) will I be losing my apps/data? I also read that this can be done without even unlocking.
[Moto G General] ilike123:
Will it give you the option to save the OTA file, before updating?
[Moto G General] coursemyhorse:
If one of us does get the OTA download, how do we capture the update.zip file? Does it download to /cache? Can we capture this by using ADB program on windows somehow?

Thanks
[Moto G General] TotalD3str4ct:
I don't know from first-hand, but there must be some way, because then how they did aquire the ota file of other regions?

I would think that the phone first only downloads the file, then before update it asks whether you want to start the update or not - and in that state you can pull the update file - but don't quote on me this.
[Moto G General] debaj:
It won't, you have to find it manually.
[Moto G General] michalurban:
I hadnt been examining this during my first 4.4.2 flash but now Im curious - when I flash the US 4.4.2 ROM will it erase my /sdcard data? And if yes, is there any way to prevent this? Like removing the command "erase userdata"? Or does this only erase the /data partition?
[Moto G General] gee2012:
Well its usualy adviced to wipe/factory reset after flashing a full upgraded rom to prevent fc`s and bootloops. Backup your files first and you can save and restore user apps and userdata with Helium. You might try to prevent that by removing userdata.img from the stock rom but that`s not wise bro.
[Moto G General] michalurban:
Thanks for your reply. :) Ive got no problem with reinstalling apps, I just want the files I copied to the phone (MP3s, CWM backups etc.) to stay intact ... Is this possible?
[Moto G General] gee2012:
Sure, copy them to the pc or on upload them to Google Drive.
[Moto G General] Leauwie:
Where to place it on SD card? I copied it to the main folder but nothing happens after reboot, with or without rename. No root, still locked bootloader, stock everything FR rom here.
[Moto G General] michalurban:
Thats what I wanted to avoid ... :)
[Moto G General] gee2012:
Just put it directly on the sd card and not in a folder. You can also sideload the zip with adb, that`s what i did.
[Moto G General] cra1g321:
I'm new to all of this rooting, flashing and stuff, so the answer to this question will probably seem very obvious to most of members here,

but anyway I have a Tesco UK Moto G with KitKat US (rooted & with CWM), can i still flash the UK version of Kitkat to it ?
[Moto G General] gee2012:
Do you want to return to UK stock or do something else? You can`t flash a UK update to a US rom.
[Moto G General] cra1g321:
I guess i want to be on Retail.GB Kitkat whenever it becomes available.

But of course still have root and stuff.
[Moto G General] gee2012:
Sure, just follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49295486.
[Moto G General] Leauwie:
Oh LOL renamed the file Blur_Version.174.44.9.falcon_umts.Retail.en.FR.zip.zip, hence it could not find it. Rebooted, opened up system update and boom. Updating now.

Btw, Heerlen, goed om Limburg aanwezig te zien hier! ;)

Edit: It looks beautiful!
[Moto G General] cra1g321:
WIll i need to root the phone again ?

or will it still be rooted ?
[Moto G General] gee2012:
Yes you will have to root again and backup all files first before the flash cause it will wipe your phone

[Moto G General] cra1g321:
Will CWM still be on the phone ?

Also i have the xposed framwork installed, will this cause any issues with flashing the stock ROM ? ( I'm guessing no)

Many thanks for the replies.

You're from limburg too?

No you will have stock recovery after you flashed the stock rom and xposed will be gone. Start over from scratch bro.

[Moto G General] cra1g321:
OK thanks for help, I will wait for the UK version of Kitkat then move to it :good:
[Moto G General] gee2012:
Before you try to root 4.4.2 you need to flash the 4.3 bootloader, then flash a custom recovery and flash the SuperSU.zip for root :)
[Moto G General] cra1g321:
I didn't realise i would have start all over again so much, if i knew this i would of just stuck with 4.3 UK retail.

Thanks for the info
[Moto G General] guillembonet:
4.4

today some agent from motorola said me that kit kat version is already out in the UK since yesterday, is that true? he said i will recieve it shortly
[Moto G General] cra1g321:
I think it has started to be rolled out now, i've seen a few websites reporting that Motorola have said, that the update is now "live" in the UK and Germany.
[Moto G General] theArchitektas:
Can you drop those links?
[Moto G General] TotalD3str4ct:
All of those are just linking each other and a post from Motorola's homepage as source. That post is online since about the new year, and contains no exact dates whatsoever.
[Moto G General] Ja_som:
If he flash TWRP, he can leave 4.4 bootloader, or i am wrong?

Because i'm not so sure how it's work. First i rooted my phone with Android 4.4.2 + 4.3 bootloader and CWM. But after that, when working version of TWRP was released, i flashed back 4.4 bootloader and TWRP, and i'm rooted.
[Moto G General] gee2012:
You`re probably right bro, but to be safe i adviced the 4.3 bootloader as he used and probably will use CWM again. I haven`t rooted my MG and probably will not root it as i don`t see many benefits personaly.
[Moto G General] miklosbard:
otg is definitely a good reason, at least for me:)

Sent from my phone
[Moto G General] gee2012:
That`s what rooting is all about, to be able to costumize something so that it fits your needs :good:
[Moto G General] cra1g321:
Just search Moto G UK kitkat into Google News, and you will see a few articles.

Though what TotalD3str4ct said, i think is kind of true, a lot of sites are just posting the same thing over and over.

But it does seem that it is now rolling out, so just keeping waiting :)
[Moto G General] Wh00sher:
I will be picking up my Moto G 16GB from Tesco on Monday. :)

I`m hoping it`ll give me the option to upgrade.

In the past, I`ve learned a lot from this site and if someone explains what I need to do to be able to save the upgrade file and then share it on here, I`ll be happy to give it a go. I`m not too up on all the jargon, but point me in the right direction and I`ll do my best to save the upgrade file when it downloads.

I`ll just need some guidance on how to find it before it updates and deletes itself ;)
[Moto G General] flargen:
I still have yet to see a single report from a non-Tesco user about receiving the update...
[Moto G General] shure2:
Look within the thread to find instructions. I was holding off for my Tescos 4.4 update but got bored of waiting. It was incredibly easy to move to the German 4.3 and then update to 4.4 without unlocking the boot loader or wiping data
[Moto G General] SifJar:

Apologies, I haven't got the 4.4 update yet (UK here), I didn't think they would disable a feature like OTG...Seems odd to take away something which works pretty well. Any word from Motorola on a reason? (Sorry if this has already been discussed, haven't kept up with the whole thread).

[Moto G General] michalurban:
So, I read somewhere that OTA upgrades are being sent in waves and each wave is larger than the previous (like 1% of the phones, 10%, 25% ...). But are there any other information? For example Ive got UK Moto G and UK Moto Gs are supposed to be receiving updates ... and so, should I be expecting the update to arrive sooner or can it after (hell) a week ...

PS: I know I need to be patient (unless Im willing to take matters into my own hands lol) but Im just curious ... :)
[Moto G General] HeXmit:
OTA hasn't released yet, despite web announcement. Motorola (via motocare) said that it was an error on the info, the update is under testing and soon will be avaiable.

Anyway, you are right about how OTA is released. First 1% of the total phones (UK version in your case) then X% etc.
[Moto G General] drfr:
I would be still optimistic. USA update came sooner then originally announced and the waves succeeded quite quickly too. I flashed US 4.3 at the time and catched the 4.4 OTA in a matter of days. Now back on German 4.3 and waiting. I'd say we should have it next week. Just a guess.
[Moto G General] shaftenberg:
Just a side note out of experience:

OTA is nice but won't work for all in every situation. I for myself will wait for the full sbf to flash, this will help you out of errors no one can calculate with such a big upgrade of the OS. I see the threads with "problems" popping up just now... :D

[Moto G General] Kameo:
Here in France one of our provider is called SFR (related to Vodafone i guess).

It's also one of the only carrier that offered the 16G version (while the others only got the 8G one) and it started to roll out the kitktat update on those who kept the SFR rom.

I can't tell since i've flashed the 4.3-JB-Retail.FR rom instead of the 4.3-JB-SFR one.

Anyway, here's the link to the french topic and some ss:
