This article and its source also refers the same page on the Motorola website which is linked in the OP (which was, according to Motorola, published a bit early by mistake) without any further information. So I would not count it as an official statement. :)
[Moto G General] chrisund123:
No dates, no official word from Motorolla about it rolling out - just conjecture it seems.

Still nothing for my UK Moto G lol!
[Moto G General] EZTEQ:
Motorola Support in Germany said it will be released this month. But no date! The information on theit website was mistakenly published.

Hi all,

I flashed CWM on my french moto g. Does that mean that I won't receive the ATO update to kitkat? If so how can I revert to the stock recovery ?

Thank's for all your help

I also downlaoded a zip and also the same error. :confused:
[Moto G General] aradalien:

You cannot install OTA with root installed you have to be full stock like it just came from the shop,

does not matter about an unlocked bootloader though. :victory:
[Moto G General] coursemyhorse:
Quoting myself here, I have been trying for an hour now and it claims there is no update found. Am I stuck on 4.3? Have I somehow done something to make the servers think my device is not requiring an update? I'm confused. To confirm, I downloaded the update once, postponed install. Did a factory reset on 4.3 so I could redownload it and capture a logcat and post a download link for you guys. Already done by someone else now anyway.

Damn.
[Moto G General] GreenToad:
Probably by doing a factory reset you put your device back on "update queue" so in a matter of hours/days it will get kitkat anyway. They are just throttling downloads now. Or you could use my update zip (somhow, i don't really know how)

[Moto G General] JoaoSony:
can I downgrade?

I flashed to stock firmware.DE to have KitKat and do by this process:

1) Install Drivers;

2) Download the firmware and unzip;

3) Turn on the phone in flashmode (POWER KEY + VOLUME DOWN) and then connect to PC;

4) Click on the flashbat and voilá, its done!

Then I made the OTA upgrade!

But now I want to flash my stock firmware, retail.GB.

Can I downgrade by this process?

Thank you!
[Moto G General] mdentener:
I experienced the sam

I had the same issue, but just managed to fix it by unrooting using the following guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542219

The 4.3 stock firmware can be found here as it's needed in the guide: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14 If you're on stock GB 4.3 you need this one: Blur_Version.14.71.8.falcon_umts.Retail.en.GB

Just make sure to follow steps 1 to 6a (ignore step 6b since the firmware I specified above doesn't require this step).

Then your device will no longer have root and you can install the OTA 4.4 kitkat update without errors.

By the way, this method did not erase my user data.

For anyone having issues with this erroring on install, if you follow PaulOBrien's guide to flashing the UK Stock ROM, but edit flash-windows.bat and remove the last line (wiping userdata) and run it, it will flash stock UK without wiping data.

Just tried that method, but i get an error when run the flashbat, something like this:

It only lags if you have switched between roms without wiping. I have no problems with kit kat on my phone even with loads of apps installed. It's smoother that 4.3 was and definitely no lag at all. Makes the Moto G even more amazing.

New Upgrade to KitKat 4.4.2 for Moto g Italy and UK avaible ;)
[Moto G General] aspot72:
Was very curious, so decided to go ahead with update and so far all ok. For battery backup too early to comment, but phone feels slightly faster. Using Aviate launcher and Launcher 3 and all lighting fast. Saw comments about lag (?) but mine is like Ferrari F1. Also switched to ART, so will see how it goes.

Will get back when battery reach 10%...
[Moto G General] xarli999:
So guys, is it damaging for the battery to update the Moto G while charging it or not?

Maybe it will increase the temperature, but just around 5 minutes, isn't it?

I mean, if that thing is done a lot of times of course it will be damaging, but doing it just once maybe it's not that harmful for the battery
[Moto G General] aspot72:
Well, my battery was on 49% when started update. It took about 5 min but when phone boot up battery was down to 16%... Was freaking feeling, that if it would be less than 49% and it wouldn't finish... So my strong advice is charge it before update.
[Moto G General] Fedroid:
I was at 100% and when finished I was on 46% but after 10min charging it returned to 100%. I think this is not a real drainage of the battery, only a software thing easily fixed after one full charge.

Greetings
[Moto G General] rec71:
I updated mine while charging and it didn't get hot.
[Moto G General] scott_doyland:
I was half wrong on the post above. root is not needed to do an 'adb pull'

If you think about it adb has no knowledge if your phone is rooted or not when doing an 'adb pull', ie its not calling the 'su' binary which is what you do when running as root - it just isnt acting at that level in the OS.

However adb cannot (by design of adb itself) seem to pull files or access directories that have permissions that just allows root and root group access.

/cache has permissions 770 (the '0' indicates that a 'normal' user cannot access the directory). We would need to set the permissions so a 'normal' user could access it which can only be done with root. Setting to 777 would work ;). The files in the directory would also need permissions for a 'normal' user as well.

I did try just setting just the zip file to 777 to give a 'normal' user full permissions but no joy as /cache weas still 770. I didnt fancy altering the permissions of /cache !

So to summarise, abd does not need a rooted phone per se, BUT the permissions of the dirs/files must allow non-root access. You could alter all the dirs/files and then unroot and adb would still be able to pull the files. abd itself has no knowledge of root when doing a pull.
[Moto G General] coursemyhorse:
It's ok, I left the phone over night and woke up to it again telling me an update was available. As people said, just needed a few hours to "realize" again I suppose. :)

I am going to run the update in a bit and see what it is like.

Yes, I noticed the same thing with permissions when I had a look around quickly last night. It definitely gets put in /cache (not /sdcard/cache) as I saw the time stamp change and the disk usage of cache increase after the download. There is no possible way to grab this file through ordinary methods without altering permissions on /cache which really would require rooting the phone to get to unless there is some hack to do this.

The best method seems to be grabbing the OTA update url from a logcat, but the logcat is verbose and often like finding a needle in a hey stack after just a few seconds. Which brings me on to my next question, how are you guys running windows getting meaningful information from your logcats? Do you pipe it to a file constantly and then search/grep the file later? How do you do this using ADB?
[Moto G General] scott_doyland:
I believe a factory reset actually resets some sort of device ID, the same ID as reset if you mess with stopping/clearing the framework to try to force an early update.

If I am correct then you may have to wait until your devices new ID is in line for the update to be sent.

I don't actually think you even needed to do the initial delete of the zip. I deleted mine on purpose and then attempted an update (as I want to stay on 4.3 so I wanted the update to fail to remove the notification alert).

My update failed of course as no zip file. Then I went into 'system updates' and it actually said an update was available and downloaded it - took a while to tell me an update was available.

I deleted again and *updated* again to make it fail and this time haven't gone into 'system updates' and so far no more notifications etc, which is good for me.
[Moto G General] coursemyhorse:
Mine is ok now as above, got the update through this morning. Yes, probably to do with device ID. Why do you want to stay on 4.3?

[Moto G General] scott_doyland:
My phone is running really well on 4.3. There are 4.4.2 things I don't like.

1. No GPS locked icon in status bar (new location icon doesn't tell you if GPS is locked or not)

2. Text wrap doesn't work as it used to.

They are the main reasons. Also some people say battery is a bit worse. I'd rather not take the risk.

I don't really see how my phone would be any better on kitkat right now, I'm not saying kitkat is bad, just that I personally don't see any benefits.

I had kitkat on my nexus 7 and went back to 4.3 just a few days ago.
[Moto G General] Mafiatounes:
Battery calibration is needed after Kitkat update, after installation my G went to 5% and stayed there for 2 hours during heavy use. So all the reports of worse battery life are relying on the percentage wich is of, a drain to shutdown resolves this.
[Moto G General] prgsx:
I too found that after the update by battery had drained by 50% i am now charging to see if i can get it back up.

I was surprised it used so much on the update as it normally lasts over 18hrs without a top up, will wait and see how this works during today.
[Moto G General] SifJar:
ADB doesn't call su, correct. But if you're rooted, you can get ADB to run in insecure mode (couple of ways to do it, e.g. a build.prop edit I think), and then adb pull should work on all files I believe. Better solution than changing permissions of an important directory, which could cause plenty of other problems.

4.3 GB -->4.4.2 GB

we can 4.3 DE --> 4.4.2 EU

My best total on 4.3 was 1d 5hrs something... and although I have no stats to back it up, it feels like I've been using it more, playing games that I didn't have installed before, using PowerAmp on the way to and from work etc... could be placebo though!

-restart your phone and wait a moment

-a popup message will appear that there is a update available -> press copy
