[Moto G General] SeannyM:
It should work fine, but from the looks of those screenshots you're using one sim, which leads me to believe you're running this on a single sim variant? If that's true, it's a good idea to flash a single sim modem via fastboot so CyanogenMod or other custom ROMs won't think there's a second sim. No lost functionality without doing this, however you might get the second sim in settings like in the soak test. That is, if CyanogenMod 12 has dual sim support yet, I wouldn't know.

[MENTION=4888452]SeannyM[/MENTION] I've got a question:

I already have the 4.3 Brazil stock retail on my computer..

If I flash it, would i be able to directly update to lollipop from 4.3?

It's just that I don't wanna download the entire 4.4.4 :)

What do you think? Is it dangerous?
[Moto G General] SeannyM:
If you downgrade to 4.3 no guarantees that will work, but if you do that, you'll have to get the 4.4.4 OTA anyways before this OTA will install.

[Moto G General] dwensch:
I will try this but i'm not sure if it's gonna work.... My battery was on 30% when it got bricked though.

I made the mistake of flashing a 4.4.2 firmware. When it downloaded the update for 4.4.4 and tried to install it, i got my first bricked device.

Hope not for long.

Im using dual sim phone, i have used the CM12 05/12/2014 on my phone with DonkeyKernel, im using only one sim ( not need another ) and works perfect (using since 26/11/14), but now trust in install custom recovery and flash the CM12 rom, tnks SeannyM
[Moto G General] SeannyM:
One thing to note, custom recoveries when running this Lollipop tend to have a weird bar that moves down the display. I can't really explain it in words, but you'll know it when you see it. It shouldn't affect the custom ROM, but you never know. I had it at one point on KitKat after temporarily downgrading, but after a reboot it was gone.
[Moto G General] Jiraaff:
seanny what do you recomend cm12 or this ota? sorry for my bad english
[Moto G General] padhu1989:
What are the steps you skipped... I am planning to downgrade it to 4.4.4 ... :D

---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 AM ----------

I prefer CM12...
[Moto G General] deeplyyoung:
99% chances of flashing failure if you flash LP soak ota over 4.4.3+updated through ota 4.4.4, flash stock Braz 4.4.4 then flash LP soak ota...and one good advice, if you want to remain on LP then only try this, as currently no secure way to downgrade to kk.. N after flashing this soak you might not going to get the official LP ota and have to depend on another leak ota if Braz framework..hence just wait for few more time & get the official ota directly...as LP soak is awesome with dual sim XT1033 no bugs or errors so far but still we r now dependable on another leak instead of Moto, so hold your horses if possible....

Better option cm12 as of now

Installtion Aborted Solution

Hi folks!!!

Many of us have encountered this error.It is mainly because of 2 reasons

Not on Brazil frimware

Improper recovery

So here's the solution.it will work for even custom Roms..I myself flashed zip from Custom ROM "liquid smooth"..

Solution 1 :

Change the bilud number in build.prop and use philz-advance recovery.Just search the forum u will find it.

* I have tested this method it should work.And i take no responsibiity for any demages:p

Solution 2 Recommended

1. Make sure that u have philz-advance recovery installed

2. Open rom Zip file in your operating system

Goto META-INF/com/google/android/

3. Make a back-up of updated-script(not binary file),the text one

4 Add this attached file in place of original one.

Now you sholud be able to flash even if you are not on Brazil Stock..

Tested Device : Moto g ( XT-1033) indian variant 16GB.

Regards!!!
[Moto G General] adarsh9628:
so can i dirty flash on my Asian 4.4.4 or do a clean install??

And can i flash back Asian lollipop without any problems??(when it comes)

And will Indian sim work properly (both)??
[Moto G General] AgentChaos:
i skipped the gpt.bin and motoboot.img

I used mfastboot v2 instead of regular fastboot

regular fastboot will not work, your device will not boot
[Moto G General] SeannyM:
This is a really bad idea, especially on a custom ROM. The OTA patches files based on what they are in the Brazil firmware, so it's best to be on it. I can maybe see it applying to another country's stock, that is if the OTA is modified to allow it as it checks the system before flashing, which is what I'm assuming you did. Flashing over an AOSP based custom ROM should completely screw up your system. It's a completely different ROM! Lots of Motorola files that it will try to patch will be missing, and lots of files it will try to patch will be different from the ones in Brazil stock KitKat! If it somehow worked for you, congrats. But I don't reccomend anyone to try this.

Any screen flickering issue? I think we cant install the OTA since the bootloader is already upgraded right?
[Moto G General] AgentChaos:
In the beginning there is screen flickering, but then it stops after you lock and unlock then screen

the update will install , if you are downgrading to 4.4.4 and then update to 5.0

you will brick your device if you downgrade to 4.4.2 then update to 4.4.4 and then 5.0

[Moto G General] subhi:
I accidentally downgraded to 4.4.2 after first updating using this OTA, my device didn't brick. There were issues, sure, but I installed twrp, formatted everything and did everything from the start and installed this OTA again and then used the method you posted a few pages back to downgrade it to 4.4.4, I have a working device with no issues except on every boot the flickering issue comes up but I just lock & unlock like you suggested
[Moto G General] AgentChaos:
I said dont downgrade to 4.4.2 then update to 4.4.4 (over the air), just downgrade straight to 4.4.4 instead to avoid brick

all good since the first hours of release. xt1032 here.

waiting for final.
[Moto G General] Sri2702:
I saw someone mention this in the Motorola forums.

The problem, is the folder doesn't exist and if you create it in the "Android" folder, the phone reboots.

The workaround is; create the obb folder somewhere else, then copy the .obb file you want to that folder, then move that whole obb folder to the android/ folder.

It's a problem with Lollipop.

If someone manage to enlighten up the deal with the stock recovery and how to get it back for future OTA updates, bring it forward.
[Moto G General] DoctorStrange96:
Alright, I found two issues here:

1. Memory management - for example, when I'm browsing the Web in Chrome, my music player closes itself out of nowhere.

2. App switcher showing random cards – this is a well-known Lolly bug. I was hoping that Motorola would fix it now, but now I hope that they at least fix it in the final version :(
[Moto G General] adarsh9628:
Use mototool (google it ) to flash stock recovery. It is available in xda .
[Moto G General] kedar512:
+1

I am having same problem on chrome.

But app switcher is working properly.

Also my battery suddenly starts draining when I turn off wifi.

Do you have this bug?
[Moto G General] t-ara:
not working, this folder exist, i can't create it :( but i can't see.
[Moto G General] gmp009:
you cant see through pc, but u can see through solid explorer man.
[Moto G General] DoctorStrange96:
No, battery life is quite on par with that of KitKat, at least for me. I haven't tested that yet.

Oh, and one more thing: the screen seems to be dimmer than it was with KK. I have to set the brightness to medium so I can actually see something properly. That was happening because adaptive brightness was on. Didn't notice that at first. Therefore, issue fixed.

Oh, and one more thing, part 2: About the app switcher bug, only apps like "Android System" or "MotorolaOTA", that means core apps, appear on the switcher. For example, after I check for updates or something.
[Moto G General] mdsaif92:

Hey guys! Alberto97, an Italian developer, need a system dump of the lollipop Moto G ota. Someone can help him? ;)
[Moto G General] TheFixItMan:
Anyone can do this quickly by doing the following

Root phone

Install Busybox from playstore (open app & click install)

Install android terminal emulator from playstore

Open android terminal emulator

Type the following (press enter after each line)

su

tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar

Wait until the prompt reappears - It could take 5-10 mins so I therefore recommend setting the screen timeout to at least 10mins

System.tar will be outputted to the root of your sd card (internal) obviously make sure you have enough free space

In the tar will be the system dump

I would do it but I only have a XT1039

[Moto G General] moquiwa:
Same here...

Is the recovery the same of kk?
[Moto G General] DoctorStrange96:
Hey guys, just a quick warning: if for some reason you need to do a factory reset, don't do it using TWRP, it won't work. Trust me, I tested it myself. Use the stock recovery for that. But remember to back up your internal storage contents first, because the stock recovery's factory reset wipes ALL your data - that includes the data stored on /data/media/0, which is the "simulated /sdcard" location. I've also tested this myself - and I didn't remember to do a backup first, so I lost everything (please, don't laugh at me :().

Is your phone's bootloader unlocked? If it is, you'll need a modified logo.bin (I have it here too). Otherwise, the original logo.bin will do.

The zip below contains three logo.bin files: 4.4.x original, 4.4.x modified, and 5.0 original. Extract them all and flash the one that suits you best.

I'm desperate since yesterday:crying:
[Moto G General] DoctorStrange96:
Sorry to say that, mate, but I think you're screwed. Only reflashing the bootloader itself can save you. But for that you'll have to wait until the 5.0 official factory images are released by Motorola. If you're really desperate, send your phone to a service center, but obviously, don't tell them you tried to downgrade from 5.0 :p

You wouldn't brick your phone if you had downgraded straight to 4.4.4. I did that once and everything went fine, however I had a screen flickering issue.
