Did you have the same problem before flashing this ROM? Other people aren't reporting this. I suggest you may need to flash the stock firmware image via fastboot (include the erase userdata command) and then reflash this ROM.

Okay, installed, everything works perfectly. The only problem is that I made a backup with philz recovery, and moved it from the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups folder to my PC in order to have more free space. Now I want to revert back to KK and I decided to restore the backup. But I can't access the clockworkmod folder, nothing in or out from there. And philz won't recognize the backup anywhere else but in there.

Try using FX file explorer. Someone else had this problem; the folder was hidden in /sdcard/0/.
[Moto G Android Development] droidx8:
Fx file explorer gives me "Access was denied" message without trying to obtain root access (got the root addon and the root check says everything is ok), with Root explorer I can't make the folder R/W and can't see a single file in there. Flashed TWRP though, and its built-in file manager can access the folder but I can't move folders with it, can I?

You can move folders in TWRP's File Manager - enter the folder and press 'select,' then 'move.'

From the perspective that you prefer KK for now, they are the same. But the official OTA Update likely has some changes compared to the Soak Test. Possibly only bugfixes, if any where needed.

[Moto G Android Development] lost101:
You shouldn't be experiencing that - did you to a factory reset? A link to the radio is provided in the OP, but I'm not so sure it will solve your issue. A clean install for me had no problem like that.

It's due to the Lollipop Kernel not being fully compatible with the KitKat Bootloader. Hopefully there will be custom kernels for stock soon, and that will solve the issue.
[Moto G Android Development] SahilTech:
Yeah I did factory reset and wiped all that was necessary, and for the boot loader, if I flash lollipop boot loader that will solve the problem?

Sent from my XT1033
[Moto G Android Development] lost101:
Yes. However, flashing the Lollipop bootloader will mean you have problems going back to Stock KitKat if you want to do that. Also some custom recoveries have issues with Lollipop. At this time I would advise against doing this.

Turning the screen off once stops the screen flicker until you next restart.I appreciate it's annoying if you turn your phone off a lot, but that's the current situation regarding Stock Lollipop with the KitKat bootloader. I'm hopeful custom kernels can be developed that will solve the problem, but that might take a few more weeks.

I flashed this ROM using Phillz latest recovery. The thing I noticed are,

I wasn't able to flash all datas. A lib file from flash light isn't able to wipe using latest recovery.

while flashing the package, it tool atleast 10 Min to flash. I was worried coz of i might have bricked my phone.

after updating the package, it tool next 15 min to boot up to home screen.

but all users data was here except contact and messages.. What is that??

Lol.. I was laughing coz i didn't loose any data...:D:o
[Moto G Android Development] lost101:
All of those things happened because Philz Recovery did not successfully do a factory reset. I mention a specific version of Philz Recovery in OP - some versions are buggy.

[Moto G Android Development] lost101:
I don't follow what you are asking.
[Moto G Android Development] Paliacci:
Well, let's put this simple as I can, since you said twrp's backups doesn't work that means the only way to get back to stock kitkat is flashing the stock rom is through fastboot right?
[Moto G Android Development] welsonerva:
thanks lost101.. awesome and smooth :D

installed using philz..
[Moto G Android Development] lost101:
Yes. You can use fastboot to flash the Stock KitKat Firmware Image.

However it is actually possible to restore a KitKat TWRP backup. But it's convoluted.

1) Transfer TWRP backup to PC

2) Fastboot flash the Stock KitKat Firmware Image (include the command: fastboot erase userdata)

3) Boot into KitKat, and enable ADB-Debugging

4) Transfer backup onto phone again, and restore in TWRP​

Alternatively, in TWRP, you can flash one of the 'Untouched' or 'Optimized' Stock ROM zips from here:

http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688​

Note: You may need to format 'Data' in TWRP. - in other words, erase 'userdata.'

A version of TWRP that properly supports Lollipop will hopefully be with us soon and life will be simpler then.
[Moto G Android Development] dokiace:
Curious question, is there any particular reason why did you suggest to use Philz version 6.55 ? What about their newer version?
[Moto G Android Development] OldYellowBricks:
its been reported that newer/other versions werent able to do backups and restore those backup
[Moto G Android Development] dokiace:
Oh, I see..

So this recovery should be able to backup my lollipop rom and restore it (to lollipop again) if something went wrong, right?
[Moto G Android Development] OldYellowBricks:
I personally did a backup of this rom (flashable retail asia dual sim rom) and had a go at a CM12 based rom (ended not liking it) and I had problems AFTER restoring the backup (the backup of THIS retail asia flashable rom - wifi didn't work, system slowdown). As for backups of other rom (such as CM12 or kitkat) I cannot say. When I discovered that the restored backup went wonkey, I re-flashed a cm11 based rom once, and this rom once. Both worked fine and I'm using this rom at the moment

I must remind you again that I never updated my stock kitkat to lollipop, hence never updated my bootloader. I simply flashed this rom coming from a cm11 rom.

but the main reason why OP prescribes 6.55 Philz is backup and restoring problems.
[Moto G Android Development] dokiace:
I'm currently on stock kitkat 4.4.4 and I plan to flash this, does this mean my bootloader wont get updated?
[Moto G Android Development] OldYellowBricks:
Nope. When you first boot up, your screen will be a bit wonky, but after you turn off the screen once, itll be okay and normal UP UNTIL next reboot where youll have to repeat that 1 time only thing
[Moto G Android Development] lost101:
I've changed OP to more accurately reflect the current situation.

Important Notice: This ROM can be flashed with either TWRP 2.8.1.0 or Philz Touch Recovery v6.55.0, however restoring backups is not straight forward. The only reliable way to restore a KitKat backup is to use this method.​

As [MENTION=4821745]OldYellowBricks[/MENTION] says, restoring Lollipop backups in Philz does at first appear to work, but there are serious issues with the restore. The only reliable way to restore a KitKat backup is to use the method I mention above.

I tried making a TWRP backup of the Single-Sim Lollipop ROM and while the process appear to complete: it broke the existing ROM.

If anyone wants to test this, feel free and report the results.

[MENTION=4172543]dokiace[/MENTION], no changes to Bootloader will occur by flashing this ROM.
[Moto G Android Development] VitaTaf:
Restoring Lollipop backup with Philz v6.55.0 does work, at least for me, it just requires deleting cam_socket1 and cam_socket2 from /data after Nandroid restore to restore camera function, and a few reboots/clearing cache to smooth things out.

[Moto G Android Development] lost101:
Also stated in that thread is that the MD5 checksum for 'Soak Test' OTA Update zip and the Official OTA Update zip match. In other words, they are exactly the same file.

They also have the same version number.

All the evidence suggests any difference people see in the ROMs is purely placebo effect, but I am happy to hear from anyone who wants to dispute this.

Lastly, I will build a ROM based on the Stock Firmware Image, when one is available.
[Moto G Android Development] VitaTaf:
[MENTION=1006674]lost101[/MENTION], it's not a huge problem, but I realized that automatic backup of apps and data to Google server is not working, but it will restore an old backup from about a month ago after a factory reset. Could this be related to you debloating your ROM?

Read the OP. It specifically states two recoveries and what versions to use. If TWRP 2.8.1.0 does not work for you, try Philz CWM Recovery: https://drive.google.com/drive/#fold...kJHb2dXNmo0N2M
[Moto G Android Development] lost101:
Debloating process should not have removed anything essential related to that feature, but it's possible. Any chance you could confirm backup is working for people running 'Untouched' Retail Asia 5.0.2?

UPDATE: I've checked again; nothing to do with Google Backup was removed.

UPDATE #2: I've compared system/priv-app/ in Retail Brazil and Retail Asia; the following apps are missing in Retail Asia: (Recover flashable zips)
