yeap basically a bug fix updates, but still good to be on latest android build
[Moto E General] 5zan:
How did you make on screen buttons like android L?
[Moto E General] arnabJ:
Smae here.

Its my first ota ever thats giving me new Android version.

Else always had to side flash.
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
You'll need to re-flash it once after updating.
[Moto E General] :
Then why these instuctions???

The poster says that TWRP will not stick after OTA... :confused:

Please enlighten me... :angel:

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

Anyone on this thread can confirm whether TWRP is sticking on flashing it via fastboot after updating via 4.4.4 OTA???
[Moto E General] Hetalk:
I'm pretty sure it will stick. There's no reason for it to not stick.

Just take a nandroid backup and try it out. You won't brick it. :good:
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
I'm not sure why poster says so, but it will stick. Since you have an unlocked BL, once the recovery partition is re-written, it won't roll back.

Also, as [MENTION=4278473]Hetalk[/MENTION] said, do make a nandroid before flashing.
[Moto E General] subham99:
I just got a notification about a system update. So I pressed on that notification and nothing happened. Then I went to settings->About Phone ->System Updates, it opens up for a millisecond and then nothing happens. I restarted my phone but no avail. FYI my boot animation automatically changed. A new FIFA World Cup 2014 related not animation automatically got installed. AFAIK i didn't install anything. I am on XT1022 locked bootloader , unrooted , stock.

Edit: A couple of days back I updated all my apps on WiFi. I then received the moto alert app. I didn't have it pre-installed. Maybe then the boot animation was updated but what can I do to get the latest OTA. I use a airtel 3g connection.

[Moto E General] gaurav2009:
If u flash stock 4.4.2 then update via ota and then try to flash twrp/cwm it will not stick i tested it u all can also test..
[Moto E General] :
[MENTION=4278473]Hetalk[/MENTION] [MENTION=4022462]neo.ank[/MENTION] There he goes again....

Please can someone else confirm this...

TWRP and root is more important to me and unless TWRP sticks I'm afraid to go forward with OTA...
[Moto E General] gaurav2009:
what? if u r so desperate u can try on your own..
[Moto E General] Hetalk:
I'll try it later on tonight, if I get time. Else, I'll try tomorrow and report back.
[Moto E General] :
Thanks... waiting... ;)
[Moto E General] ChaTy:
Damn....atlast we all updated to 4.4.4 ....i m just wondering how excited we will b when we will learn that android l update has roll out for our little beast moto e ...hahaha..... cheers for moto...they didnt disappointed us... ;)

Sent from my XT1022
[Moto E General] Hetalk:
Hopefully, we won't see whining then. :D
[Moto E General] 5zan:
Yes Motorola updates the boot animation through play store which of course you updated through Wi-Fi.

As for the system update, I think you accepted it. But its not downloading due to no data access or very slow net. But as you told you are using 3g & provided it is working fine you must have chosen to download the update using Wi-Fi only. Thus the only way to update now would be connecting to a Wi-Fi network.:)
[Moto E General] subham99:
I'll try downloading using WiFi a couple of days latest. Thanks anyways :).

Sent from my XT1022
[Moto E General] :
I got a notification for update

Now it's currently downloading

After getting downloaded what should I do to update??

I have unlocked my bootloader, rooted and have twrp installed. Help. I don't want to lose the apps and all what I have at present.
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
You won't lose your apps. But you will lose TWRP and root. You will need to re-flash recovery and re-root it.
[Moto E General] :
Can you plz tell me how do I flash recovery??? Any link or steps??

And [MENTION=4134236]gaurav2009[/MENTION] posted about rooting after update few pages back. Will that work??
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
The rooting method postyed above will work.

For more details, you head to this thread
[Moto E General] :
That thread explains about unlocking and installing twrp. By reading some posts I think we require stock recovery. How do I install that. Your thread doesn't mention about stock recovery.
[Moto E General] Brawn_Sg:
update unsuccessful
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
you can extract the stock recovery image from stock ROM. Or you can get it from here.

Then use the same method to flash stock recovery as in the guide.
[Moto E General] 5zan:
Good luck
[Moto E General] :
Ok thanks

I am trying it now. Hope it works fine.
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
[MENTION=5879883]g33kparineeti[/MENTION] [MENTION=4278473]Hetalk[/MENTION] , Confirmed, I've updated and have TWRP and root. I didn't use stock recovery and flashed it using TWRP only.

Will post detailed steps.
[Moto E General] :
How did you make it with twrp. That's a good shortcut rather than going with stock recovery and again rooting. Plz tell I am waiting.
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
I'm uploading the file right now.Please wait a few minutes.

Also, note your system should be unmodified(all system apps present) for it to work, else it will fail.
[Moto E General] :
[emoji20][emoji20][emoji20] but I have removed few system apps. It won't work.[emoji21]
[Moto E General] :
Thanks so much...

Did you update OTA???

That means TWRP is sticking after OTA update???
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
I modified the updater script slightly and flashed it using TWRP. I was simply checking if it will work. My recovery is intact and it sticks after boot.

I'm uploading the modified .Zip as well as the script if someone needs.

---------- Post added at 12:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

Unfortunatey, you will have to flash the stock ROM.
[Moto E General] :
So basically I need to get back to original rom of Moto e than update to 4.4.4 and then again I will have to install twrp and root it. Hmm this will take some time to do and In the process I will lose all my apps and data. Will do this tomorrow.

I have just two more question

1. Will the following link will work to get me to stock rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2756609

2. If I backup apps with titanium backup and restore after updating to 4.4.4 will it work. Or if there is any other method. Please suggest.

And thanks for your help. Really appericate it.

[Moto E General] saintmonte:
My piece of advice don't rush to update using OTA Motorola has a history of re-locking boot loader permanantly some times so wait & see whether anybody has problems then use the safest & recommended way to flash while preserving root,BL,data etc

Patience is a virtue so be patient
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
1. Yes that's exactlly what you need.

2. Yes it will work.
[Moto E General] saintmonte:
Might be she is afraid to try ,make a nandroid backup & then check

---------- Post added at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 AM ----------

Better still wait for stock 4.4.4 ROM release & flash

Take a nandroid backup then u can restore data using apps like Titanium backup or Nandroid manager

1. yes it can work you can get Stock 4.4.2 ROM or wait for stock 4.4.4 ROM release

2.yes Titanium backup can be used regular way or extract nandroid backup using titanium backup or Nandroid manager
[Moto E General] Deadly:
You dont have to flash everything. Make a titanium backup of all apps first. Then go to bootloader.

Just flash these files

system.img_sparsechunk.0

system.img_sparsechunk.1

system.img_sparsechunk.2

and stock recovery. That will work fine and you wont lose any user data etc. I did this and then my update was successful. As i had only removed some system apps. This restores that.

After update I can't flash twrp it always shows no command in recovery

Got The OTA Update info

Dual sim variant Europe

;) 4.4.4 OTA confirmed.
[Moto E General] Dhiraj:
This is nothing but a bug fix update except dialer. From Motorola side , no confirmation for Android L for moto e .May be this one is the last one .Only hope is about their old declaration ,major update .
[Moto E General] arnabJ:
When Motorola first declared 4.4.3 update it too mentioned that Moto E will get atleast one more update in the future.

So we are sure to gwt atleast L if not any other major android version after that.
[Moto E General] Dhiraj:
Strategy can be changed at anytime. We got 4.4.4 direct instead of ..3 . All future version of android will be based on L. So, if no L, then this will be the end . We should not forget about our low internal memory and dual core processor.

From latest source, Moto G and X are confirmed for L update. But no confirmation about E.
[Moto E General] arnabJ:
Am not pointing you wrong.

Motorola had promised to provide atleast(not only one) one major update.

If Moto E capable of running Android L then Motorola will surely provide the update.

That's what I presume.

No offense.
[Moto E General] JJSingh:
Yes,u r right 1GB ram,1.2Ghz dual core processor ,adreno 302,1GB system rom will also be compatible for running Android M,N,O...... [emoji12] if they care enough...
[Moto E General] arnabJ:
Even though Moto E is capable of running Kitkat and most probably Android L too does not means that it will easily run Android M or above as Graphics requirements may get high and thats were Adreno 302 will fail to provide the required advancements.

Ageing GPU and Dual Core processor may lead us to the middle of nowhere.
[Moto E General] JJSingh:
"Minimum hardware requirements have been upgraded

in steps over time, with the new Android versions

releases. Original minimums were 32 MB of RAM, 32

MB of Flash memory, and a 200 MHz ARM architecture

(ARMv5) processor. [151][152] As of October 2011 and

version 4.0, a graphics processing unit (GPU) that

supports OpenGL ES 2.0 hardware acceleration is

mandatory, [153] regardless of whether applications

directly use the OpenGL ES or not.

As of November 2013 and Android version 4.4, an

ARMv7 processor is required, while recommended

minimum amount of RAM is 512 MB. [123] The required

minimum amount of RAM available to Android 4.4 is

340 MB, and all devices with less than 512 MB of RAM

must report themselves as "low RAM" devices. [124]

MIPS and x86 architectures are also supported through

unofficial ports. [149][154] OpenGL ES 2.0 hardware

acceleration is still mandatory, while OpenGL ES 3.0 is

supported. [153]"

This is a copy paste from Wikipedia..

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history

Acc to this Moto e may be compatible....

And by saying motoe compatible of running Android m,n,o...etc i mean it is compatible of running Android L in funny Manner... [emoji6]
[Moto E General] arnabJ:
I know about this info.

Whenever a new Android version comes up I read the updated info to know the new requirements but as you read the graphices requirements increased in Android ICS.

Same may happen with future versions.

Yeah got your funny point but the question is will Motorola keep up with it's promise or not.
[Moto E General] JJSingh:
Yea actually this point is eating me too,they said #MotoE will get at least Android 4.4.3 when we were on 4.4.2,further they said #MotoE is also compatible with Android l(next major release),but also they gonna update #MotoE,#MotoG,#MotoX for 18 Months and also they wrote 'at least' not 'at most'.I hope u got my point... [emoji4]
[Moto E General] 5zan:
I seriously don't think we will get android L. If we were getting it then Motorola would have confirmed it along with g&x. The only reason they didn't announce that e won't be getting android L is coz moto e is new in market & they want to sell as many units as possible with a false promise before L releases for g&x. It's just a marketing strategy.
[Moto E General] JJSingh:
They can't make false promise, nd if they do it will affect their market reputation... [emoji52]
[Moto E General] 5zan:
Is it a false or a true promise? Only time will tell:D but I can't remember any android phone except xolo phones to receive an android update below 10k. If we get android L we must consider ourselves lucky. With the announce of android one, we could easily port those Roms to moto e if Motorola don't give android L
[Moto E General] JJSingh:
Yea u r right..... [emoji6]
[Moto E General] 5zan:
Motorola could do a bit of a Samsung here too. They could say they were unable to port android L to moto e due to some reasons just like Samsung did to some versions of S3 for the kit Kat update
[Moto E General] JJSingh:
But currently,we should enjoy latest Android 4.4.4 and tease those who brought expensive phones and dying to get at least 4.4... Lol ?

Hi All. When i check my moto e for system updates, it pops up a checking for system updates and then goes back to the same screen in a few ms. The strange thing is when I power off my device, I get the update notification and I am unable to do anything as the phone is powering off. Anyone else facing this ? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Now i got the update, but then download is not happening!! :mad: it says system update paused. Waiting for data connection to resume. My 3G is on and its now downloading!!
[Moto E General] sasaboor64:
a little problem

I have noticed that the phone speaker(the upper speaker) volume just reduced by a bit after updating to 4.4.4. Have any body else noticed it
[Moto E General] arnabJ:
You need a wifi connection to download ota update.

Once you connect wifi you can choose either only wifi or wifi and mobile data.

But to change this setting you need to connect to wifi first.
[Moto E General] sairamboko:
Hi. I selected wifi and mobile data when i enrolled for the update. Now its saying System update paused. You mean to say that the update wont resume until i connect to a wifi network?
[Moto E General] Rohit99:
Moto E

Guys My moto e is bootloader unlocked n Rooted should I go for 4.4.4 update does this cause any problem to my moto e and what abt root access , does it remain rooted??
[Moto E General] Dhiraj:
Better to try with different network or WiFi.
[Moto E General] arnabJ:
+1

I would suggest using wifi.
[Moto E General] sairamboko:
Thanks all! I have no wifi here in my in-laws home. Will be another good 10days to connect to wifi in my home :(
[Moto E General] arnabJ:
You can insert your 3G sim to another mobile that supports WiFi Hotspot and then use ot to update.

Just a workaround for the time being.
[Moto E General] Deadly:
He can update over mobile data or WiFi.

If its mobile data it'll just take a bit longer to show notification or update or download progress. But it works.

So he can update it over 2g/3g. Just have patience and wait 1-2 mins literally for it to show update page

Will I loose my root if I upgrade to 4.4.4? It's a 57MB file. If it makes me loose root, then I'm not ready to upgrade. In that case, can anybody tell me how to remove that annoying sticky "System update available" notification?
[Moto E General] Deadly:
Yes it'll. But you can root again after update. You can remove it by clicking it and then select no, maybe later. See if you can find don't remind me again option while selecting

I have decided not to upgrade because I don't want to loose root and I'm not ready to root again. Please tell me how to disable that annoying pop up. I did what u asked me to. I tapped the notification, tapped no, maybe later. It nicely closed but now a pop up keeps on coming up every now and then which has options to choose the download method (wifi or mobile data) n has only one option "OK, I got it". Please help me get rid of this. Cant tolerate it anymore. Its too annoying.

I ROOTED AND INSTALLED BUSYBOX AND STILL WAS ABLE TO UPDATE MY PHONE,MOREOVER I BACKED UP MOTOROLA OTA SYSTEM APP+DATA WITH TITANIUM BACKUP SO THAT I CAN LATER UPDATE AFTER RESTORING FIRMWARE,AND ALSO I DIDN'T LOST ROOT AFTER UPDATING,SO Y U GUYS SIMPLY UPDATE UR PHONE?[emoji19][emoji19]
[Moto E General] Deadly:
Because everyone has their own personal issues or problems?

Not everyone is free like you?

Its simple. If they want to do it later because of real life issue, then that's how it is. Don't get all CAPS ANGRY UPDATE IT NAAWW!1!1!!

If you want to solve their doubts and help. Then cool.

It has an option when you set it to no maybe later. Which is a reminder, more like alarm. So you get a time. Set it to far ahead, as far as it let's you. 23:59 mins that is. Or 12 am. Whichever it let's you to set.
[Moto E General] Ex-Hunter:
There is a survival mode in SuperSU that keeps root access even after OTA updates. It usually works for minor updates, but I haven't tried it for this update as I wanted a factory reset.

You can go to Settings>Apps>ALL>MotorolaOTA and either disable the app or untick the 'show notifications'. That should take care of the notifications.
[Moto E General] omdhar:
Update using twrp failed but succeeded with OEM recovery. Root still working.
[Moto E General] nilanko:
Ugh..will have to buy pro for that purpose. I followed your instructions. It seems to work as of now. I'll report back if I have any further problem. Thanks a lot. :)
[Moto E General] JJSingh:
Again SORRY if that seems to be an angry reply,First of all i wrote that 'i want to inform u all' not a single person,here r people with misunderstanding that if they update to 4.4.4 they end up with losing root, locked bootloader, infact there is nothing like this,they r unable to update because they modified system files,app,etc.Even 4 a small modification other than rooting and installing busybox they simply can't update there phone.

"free like me" -> I know all r busy in there personnel life so as me,I'm using tapatalk which may shows I'm online but actually I'm not, i take some time from my personnel life to help people as far as i can and to ask about my queries here in the xda,this doesn't mean I'm free...

I'm not angerly asking people to update,i updated my #MotoE nd rooted nd able to boot into TWRP successfully I'm happy at my side,Y do i need to angry at people here?

Y I'm asking them to simply update because if they r rooted nd didn't modified their system then they can update .There is simply nothing to confuse..... [emoji53]
[Moto E General] Deadly:
Well when you write a post. It represents what you are saying. We can't read emotions from text. So using caps text is to inform you are yelling at other person. So that was angry and kinda rude post. So I said free part.

Thing is, I already explained how not to loose any data and get flash update by simply flashing system partition of stock first.

But no one paid attention to that post. So I can understand trying to help. But you have to write it in a way so that other person don't misunderstand it or read it otherwise. After all we can only see your text and not your face to read your intent or emotion.

Hi,

I have 4.4.2 bootloader unlocked and rooted. I did an OTA update but on reboot it went to TWRP and didnt install anything.

After shutting from TWRP and booting the phone, it restarts into TWRP again.

Can someone please help. The phone is continuously rebooting.

Thanks

Keep the phone off for 5minutes & try restarting. If it goes to twrp reboot from twrp itself. That's what worked In my previous phone. Not sure about moto e
[Moto E General] SkyKOG:
Hi,

I have been doing the same since the past 9 hours ... it boots ... stays for a while ... then goes to TWRP.

I wait then in TWRP -> reboot -> shutdown.

On starting the same cycle happens.
[Moto E General] Gogeta:
Try clearing cache
[Moto E General] apk.vst:
Just flash stock ROM and try to update through OTA. It worked for me. The reboot cycle happens because you've installed custom recovery. Once stock ROM is flashed into device, twrp would be gone and stock recovery would do the things...!!

Its just that I wanted to update so I updated.

Its ok. I am not angry at you.

The cm is certainly awesome. No denying that. Had it on my ion and I have always enjoyed it. But I just want to enjoy the stock ROM. Even dual sim and mobile data is fixed now on cm.

When I get really bored of stock I will certainly switch to cm.
