[Moto G General] :
Very, very strange... I'm sure that I don't miss any step in the described process. I think that my previous status will help: I own an EU XT1032 which I converted to US XT1032 4.4.2 a few weeks ago, then 4.4.3 arrived; I know that with 4.4.3 the bootloader and recovery were upgraded. Standing in the EU XT1032 converted to US XT1032 4.4.3 (all stock, I don't use modded recovery nor root) I flashed the GPE 4.4.2 stock, then applied the update... Maybe the updated bootloaded and/or recovery has the trick to update correctly from GPE 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 (just my thinking).
[Moto G General] Haris Salam:
Im sharing my screenshot i didn't get the update yet i have converted to gpe can someone please tell me how much time will it take for the update?
[Moto G General] bookworth:
From EU XT1032 to GPE... these steps work well.
[Moto G General] l36320:
could anyone upload the ota somewhere else?

thx in advance
[Moto G General] :
Then I assume that I'm in the right way, the steps are good :)
[Moto G General] bookworth:
BTW: I had working installation of GPE. Just applied the update and no factory reset. Everything works fine.

The installation takes 5 minutes. If the ADB drivers work. If not, search for: [GUIDE] Get Moto G recognized while in recovery (and use ADB sideload)
[Moto G General] drfr:
My device is from German Amazon and just like you I was on US 4.4.3 prior to flashing GPE 4.4.2.
[Moto G General] marcin1147:
I've just updated and it works.
[Moto G General] Teosan:
i can install this update via recovery? thks
[Moto G General] Piyush Rawal:
Is your Moto G Dual Sim?
[Moto G General] remo0073:
Yes

Stock recovery or Philz recovery
[Moto G General] Piyush Rawal:
Here's how to flash this OTA on Dual Sim moto G.

1. Open OTA update in WinRar

2. Delete 'updater-script' it's located in META-INF/com/google/android/

3. Drag-drop modded 'updater-script' in same location

4. Move modified OTA to phone and flash it using any recovery.

After this you'll notice that you've lost network, that is because this OTA contains new modem, to get network back flash modem files of 4.4.2 Global retail.

1. Put your phone in recovery mode

2. Open Retail GB Modem and run Install.bat.

3. Reboot.

Now you should be running 4.4.4 with working network.

update-script

Retail GB Modem
[Moto G General] l36320:
I just updated mine via sideload on stock recovery

converted gpe from xt1033

all is good
[Moto G General] Piyush Rawal:
Can you tell us which guide you followed to convert to GPE?

I couldn't flash the OTA because in my phone's build.prop file it was stated as "umtsds" instead of "umts" and that was causing the update to fail.

Perhaps I converted my phone to GPE in a wrong manner or something.

Status 7 using latest philz recovery and stock rooted gpe 4.4.2, any solutions ?

So i flashed the stock 4.4.2 recovery, i have the red triangle with the green android when i go to recovery ..
[Moto G General] l36320:
when youre seeing the green android logo you need to hold volume up+power for 3 secs and then you will see the recovery options
[Moto G General] lulu14150:
Thanks, but after what to do ? I can' t simply flash the .zip
[Moto G General] packko20:
Flash stock system images

I also had the same problem, I try flashing only the stock system images, after I flashed the OTA with Philz recovery ;)

P.D. You lost the root.
[Moto G General] l36320:
gpe recovery hasnt the option to apply update from sd card !

you gotta do it via adb

this command:

adb sideload filename.zip
[Moto G General] remo0073:
Did you find any particular error in downgrading from US 443 to GPE 442

Did you flashed all the partitions

Also gpt and motoboot?

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

Thanks in advance
[Moto G General] AgentChaos:
you need latest philz recovery installed in order to install the ota from internal storage. but make sure root is disabled first.

after you install the ota, you can root it again.
[Moto G General] remo0073:
I know

Maybe I didn't explain well

My question is about downgrading from US 4.4.3 to GPE 4.4.2
[Moto G General] Doug385:
I just can't upgrade. There's a message: This package is for falcon_umts devices; this is a falcon_umtsds.

So the instalations is aborted.

Anybody here uses XT1033 and have the same trouble? Is there a solution for this, or I'll have to come back for the stock Motorola rom to upgrade?
[Moto G General] DenisF:
Can't get my pc to recognize the G while in recovery-adb mode.

when the phone is powered up and in regular debugging mode all the drivers get installed properly and everything works fine (except that you can't sideload when the OS is up), when i reboot to recovery and enter adb mode i just get a device called XT1032 in device manager which windows can't find drivers for.

motorola device manager is installed, tried uninstalling and installing just the drivers .msi alone - no go. same problem.

anyone encountered this issue? any fix?

cheers

Edit:

Couple of minutes after typing up all of that I got the update over OTA.. Yay

[Moto G General] oldblue910:
Seriously, people. If you get the OTA, please pull the URL from logcat before updating! The purpose of this thread is to log these URLs for posterity. Someone taking the OTA file and hosting it is of very little use to us. I hope someone can help us out. All we need is a URL.
[Moto G General] mido_fedo:

[Moto G General] oldblue910:

[Moto G General] mido_fedo:
how can i do this and my phone not rooted
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
Okay, turn on USB debugging, plug your phone into a computer, then dump your logcat to a text file using:

adb logcat > log.txt

Then, wait about 20 seconds and press Ctrl-C to abort. Open the log.txt file in a text editor, then search for ".zip" without the quotes. You should find a full URL starting with android.clients.google.com. Post that entire URL here and you'll have our eternal gratitude!

[Moto G General] wildtigon:
I copied zip file to my PC and I'm uploading it :victory:
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
That's not what we needed. :/ Oh well. At this point I guess I'll just have to wait until I get it on my own device. Thanks anyway!
[Moto G General] Haris Salam:
how can i install the update ? did not recieve it yet
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
You have to do it in stock recovery using adb sideload, or if you have a custom recovery, you might be able to flash it from your internal storage. Using a custom recovery to flash OTAs can be risky though. I always recommend that people restore the stock recovery to flash an OTA.
[Moto G General] wildtigon:
URL is that you need ? I'll grab for u
[Moto G General] Haris Salam:
and when i try to install it manual its give me an error of status 7 can anyone please help me?
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
Oh, dude, that would be killer!!! Yes, all I need in this thread is the URL so I can put it up in the first post. :)
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
That's most often caused by you or a root app you use having modified a file on your /system partition. Your system has to be 100% stock to flash an OTA.
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
If you can't grab the URL, can you at least get the filename of the OTA ZIP file? I might be able to deduce the URL if I have that.
[Moto G General] Haris Salam:
I am attaching a About phone snapshot. please tell me its 100% stock or what ?
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
You can't really tell by a screenshot. If it gives you a status 7, it should also tell you if there was a file that failed. If it does, that's the file that isn't stock.
[Moto G General] Haris Salam:
its give me an error that "this package is for falcon_Umts devices; this is a falcon umtsds (status 7)

I'm trying to grab URL
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
Then you're using the wrong recovery. You need a recovery that's designed for falcon_umts. You must be using a recovery that's designed for a different variant.
[Moto G General] Haris Salam:
so how can i install the falcon umts? from where ? i want to install it and need the update.
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
You need to download the stock recovery for the GPE or a custom recovery designed for falcon_umts / XT1032. Can anyone help him out with that? I have no use for root and custom recoveries so I don't know where this stuff lives.
[Moto G General] kirmr:

[Moto G General] andogeek10:
Check the build.prop. Does it say umts or umtds?
[Moto G General] Doug385:
I have the same problem in my XT1033, but my build.prop says umts.
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
It doesn't matter what your ROM's build.prop shows. It matters what the recovery's build.prop says. That's why you have to use a recovery designed for XT1032

Noob Question

Hi there! I'm not sure if this is the place to ask (most likely not) but I used resources and alot of peoples posts from this one sub forum to... Turn my 4.4.2 moto g to a GPE 4.4.2 and update it to 4.4.4. Considering this was my first time ever doing anything of the sort sadly this took me a frustrating 3 hours. Anyways my questing being... Now that Im on my GPE 4.4.4 I cant help notice when I turn my phone on it shows the google logo with a small unlocked padlock below it (I'm assuming that means my bootloader is still unlocked) Should I or am I even able to relock my bootloader? If I do will it mess my phone up or make me go back to the non GPE version of moto g?

EDIT: Also will I get updates from Motorola any more? say they release 4.4.5 or android L will I have to manualy do all this again or will my fake GPE download it fine like a original?
[Moto G General] Pepie:
Just converted my Moto G (xt1032) to a GPE using this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2633272

After installing it and updating some apps, I had an automatic popup telling me to install 4.4.4 which was nice because I thought I needed to sideload it.
[Moto G General] macarmody:
Relocking Your Bootloader

Many prefer to leave their bootloader unlocked. If you want to relock it it's quite easy.

1) Restart your phone into Fastboot

2) Connect to your PC

3) From a command prompt:

. Type 'fastboot oem lock'

4) Done
[Moto G General] kirmr:
And if I, after relock it, want to unlock it again, how can I do it?

What can i do to get the updates via ota normally everytime google (or motorola, idk) update the moto g google play edition? (sorry if my english isnt that good)
[Moto G General] Pepie:
You need to ADB sideload the update in stock recovery if you don't get an automatic update.

Some say they have succeeded to sideload the update in TWRP recovery, but it's risky though. (Also you should un-root the device first if its rooted)
[Moto G General] Thugness:
Thanks so much for the response! I was wondering if you had an answer to the latter part of my questions. Will I still be able to get official updates after doing what I did? If so could I also root my phone and get official updates say useing xposedframework?

Edit: Also now when I try to check for update on my Motorola device manager it now says "Current Version: N/A" Wtf does that mean lol it used to say Falcon something. Does this mean Im not longer getting updates? not rooted. just bootloader opened to switch to GPE then I ADB Sideloaded the 4.4.4 update
[Moto G General] Andriziih:
i think i understand what you said but when i open the recovery it says no command (i dont have root)

When the robot figure appears you must press VOL + and then (while you press the VOL +) press ON button. When you release the buttons, the menu should appear. If not try again.

[Moto G General] oldblue910:
All you really need to do is accept the update, and let it install. You're going to lose root, but once it updates, you can use the same method you used last time to re-root and you should be all set. This assumes you don't have Xposed. If you do, then I'm not sure what all you need to do before applying the update, but I bet [MENTION=3289998]TheManii[/MENTION] does.
[Moto G General] salxs:

looked bad...So I cancelled...and now looks like back to 4.4.2 haha
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
Yeah, we're getting into a realm that's a little out of my area of expertise since I don't really dabble with root or custom recoveries. Can someone else help him out?
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
As an aside, I was hoping that the 4.4.4 update would include the right versions of calendar and email, but alas, no. Motorola is still using the AOSP versions instead of the Google closed-source versions. It may be impossible to switch them out in an update since I don't think there's a way to migrate data between the AOSP and Google versions of those apps in a way that's seamless to the user.
