Why Your name? It's not You shared this file! Google link is mine. Other links from 4pda forum. Thanks must be to exios and ace9000!
[Moto G General] SK Chowadry:
Check if you are in the 4.4.4 KITKAT (System Version 210.12.40.falcon_umtsds.AsiaRetail.en.03) good! You're on the right way.

goo.gl/YzTl0N

Download the file above

Rename the file to "Blur_Version.220.21.28.falcon_umtsds.AsiaRetail.e n.03.zip"

and put in the root of your internal storage.

and check System Updates
[Moto G General] :
I sincerely thought you got update but you are nothing but a copy paster. Only that 4pda guy Exios captured and rest are just copy pasting for the like of thanks and mirroring it. Its sad.
[Moto G General] jiangchen:
Soak test or not?

You mentioned your version is not the SOAK test but the links all fall under SOAK test category/ label. Maybe you should place it differently in your first post.

BTW, thanks for taking the time to post the update.
[Moto G General] B00j:
Will I get further Lollipop updates if I flash this soak test because I haven't been registered for the soak test?
[Moto G General] SK Chowadry:
YES You will get Future Update if Motorola releases for Moto G XT 1033
[Moto G General] sanads:
Any one successfully tried this on KitKat 4.4.4??
[Moto G General] naszrudd:
i flashed the MEGA link,

now sim cards is not detected.

how to solve?
[Moto G General] adizz4:
Yes, try entering them manually and skip the first two commands.

Some people say you should flash GPE first and then flash stock. I flashed 4.4.2 GPE and I've been using LS for a couple of hours now. So, Im not sure on that one.
[Moto G General] dany2904:
will it void my warranty?? and please specify the folder to place in

:confused:
[Moto G General] machoabhi11:
any solutions ?

This battery drain problem is getting worse. Please help. I've done both factory data and wiped cache.
[Moto G General] alphamike27:
Even after excluding the first two commands, it does not work. It seems there's some sort of an error message during the installation. Attaching a screenshot of the same:

View attachment 3118597

The error in pink reads: "Invalid PIV signed system image". What does that mean now? How do I return back to KitKat. Someone please help.
[Moto G General] brainscollector:
Dudes stop BS around and spread dumb guides.

NEVER FLASH 4.4.2 AFTER LOLLIPOP UPGRADE. NEVER

of course you will upgrade to 4.4.4 some time after via OTA "because why not" and congratulations on bricked phone.

Flash ONLY 4.4.4 after you flashed lollipop.

If you are at GPE 5.0.1 flash 4.4.4 GPE and then stock 4.4.4 and then proceed with guides to upgrade with test lollipop.

I repeat - NEVER FLASH 4.4.2. Everyone spreading this BS with flashing it should be temp banned from forum for making danger of bricking phone
[Moto G General] flyjazz:
It's the OTA update from 4.4.2 that's causing the bricking,something to do with the updated 41.18 bootloader from lollipop. I will add to your suggestions;when downgrading GPE 5.0.1 to GPE 4.4.4,skip gpt.bin and motoboot. Next step;GPE 4.4.4 to Motorola stock 4.4.4, flash everything except motoboot.( You will need to flash gpt.bin to change the partition table).
[Moto G General] adizz4:
The ota to 4.4.4 bricks the phone. Nobody in their right mind would try this, as it'd try to upgrade boot loader. Downgrade in fact.

I don't see why flashing 4.4.2 would cause an issue as long as you avoid boot and gpt.

If someone bricks their phone its their mistake for not reading around carefully enough and doing things w/o understanding what actually is happening.

Now go ahead and get me banned. :D
[Moto G General] mohan1531:

Hi..

Experiencing the same... Here's my screen shot.. Cheers !!
[Moto G General] fundre:
That's too bad. So are you saying that based on WiFi only, the rank is 4.4.2>4.4.4>5.0.2 where 4.4.2 is the best?

[Moto G General] shajahanes:
I installed the ROM from XDA. You mentioned its a soak test ROM. I could find a few glitches here and there. So my question is, would we be receiving the official OTA update given to all users?

[Moto G General] nirmalbalaji:
Rename the file and just place it in the root of the internal storage. Don't place in it any folder.

Brightness Bug detected in this OTA 5.0.2 XT1033

Guys there is a bug detected on Moto g 1st gen OTA 5.0.2, Please do not manually reduce your brightness below 30% your display will start flickering & go dark unless u some how manage to get it back to default or high!!!!!
[Moto G General] Ankit Das:
Updated

Thanks Sir.

Successfully unrooted my phone, upgraded to 5.0.2. Faced no problems being discussed.

One question, heard that Android 5.1 update to be rolled out soon. Will it be available for us? (mine has unlocked bootloader)

Once again thanks for the 5.0.2 update :)
[Moto G General] MonoTheKing:
damn how can I increase the brightness. The screen is all black now, can't see anything.
[Moto G General] flyjazz:
Another member mentioned that you could touch the power button and tap the screen about 1 inch down. It should cause the slider to move to the right..
[Moto G General] MonoTheKing:
Firstly, sorry for my bad English. I don't know how to describe this situation.

I also use lock screen (number code), so it's not easy like that. Even if 10 times to guess where to enter every number, I opened my phone. But now I still can't do anything, can't see anything. So I touch all over the screen, everytime I touch an app has a white background, I can see a little, but when I hold down the slider, it' s all black again and even if I try to guess where the brightness bar, seem it not working when screen is black.

Does anybody know the other solution? Please help me!!! :crying:
[Moto G General] vNa5h:
Did you had xposed installed coz this doesn't happen to me

[Moto G General] jigar.in:
There is no such thing happening with my moto g. I tired it just now.

May be you can try to wipe cache and data. This will give you clean lollipop.
[Moto G General] Rohit Salian:
Hey I am not getting it I am trying to paste that Zip file in the root folder but I can't paste. I have attached an attachment for placing that file in the root folder. Is that right place? Do I need to root.

Thank you
[Moto G General] sarfaraz1989:
i dont get the option in bootloader mode. Can you make a video of the installation. or is it possible to install this using fastboot/mfastboot ? mfastboot works with locked bootloader.

none of the options in the OP work for me. Something is up with my phone .its a 1033
[Moto G General] 2VJ5:
No root required, just place it in ur phone's internal memory, not inside any folder

Sent from my Moto G
[Moto G General] nirmalbalaji:
Just place it in the internal storage. That's what root folder means. No need to root as you assume.
[Moto G General] Rohit Salian:
But after placing it in inrernal storage i checked for system storage it showed me Your system is Up To Date. Please let me know what should i do?

Thank You
[Moto G General] nirmalbalaji:
Try to update via Recovery mode.
[Moto G General] Rohit Salian:
Would it be necessary to Factory Reset? And i just need to select Update from zip right?
[Moto G General] nirmalbalaji:
Just select and update from the zip. No need to factory reset if your device is not bootloader unlocked and rooted.
[Moto G General] Rohit Salian:
When i am selecting recovery on bootloader nothing is showing up and simply going off.
[Moto G General] Ankit Das:
This method works for devices with bootloader unloced and UNROOTED firmware. Do you have the features?
[Moto G General] nirmalbalaji:
When you are on fastboot mode use volume up key to select not the power key. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark). Now press and hold the volume up key for 10-15 seconds. While still holding the volume up key tap and release the power key. You will be taken to Recovery mode. Use volume keys to scroll and power key to select there.
[Moto G General] revano:
i just download the firmware file and update my MOTO G 4.4.4 into 5.0.2 and works like charm without any problem at 1st time try...:D

[Moto G General] nirmalbalaji:
Glad you installed it successfully and I hope you enjoy Lollipop.

[MENTION=6339889]Ankit Das[/MENTION] - Fastboot and Recovery mode on Moto G doesn't need unlocked bootloader and root. Don't mislead others if you don't know about it.

Update looks fine so far [emoji106] . Looks more fluid. Yet to check on network reception when it comes to call and data quality ..

Unfortunately it didn't fix my cracked screen and it hasn't changed my life drastically (no new girl friends included in the update). So if you want to hang on a bit more it's OK..

---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

You have to place the update file in /storage/emulated/0/ not in /root/.

Root of the internal storage means emulated internal storage not the direct root folder which has nothing to do with the storage. Connect your phone to PC and place the file in the internal storage if you still didn't get where is internal storage in ES File Manager.

Not able to go to recovery from the method mentioned in op ..

No android logo appears by pressing the vol down and power ..

When i leave the keys .... Simply bootloader opens up
[Moto G General] AviCorpse:
After restarting phone screen turned blank.

my moto g was on stock android without any modification so i followed the steps and renamed it and updated through ota.

everything was working fine . I ran lollipop for two days.Today i tried to restart my phone using long pressing the power button and it started booting.As soon as the boot animation was over phones screen turned blank. Nothing working. Just a black blank screen. For some instance homescreen comes and goes. And am not able to get into recovery. ...:crying::crying:
[Moto G General] kingsukpasari:
Works just fine

Works just fine, few bugs and little laggy but that little thing you can compromise for lollipop right?

Before Installation:

1.	Make sure you are on stock android KITKAT 4.4.4 on XT1033

2.	Make sure that downloaded file size is exactly equal to 3737,89,634 bytes

3.	Rename the file Blur_Version.220.21.28.falcon_umtsds.AsiaRetail.en.03.zip and place it on the internal storage, not inside in any folder

4.	Charge your phone more than 60% as the update will consume almost 15% of your battery.

5.	Internal storage should have 1gb of free space

Good:

1.	Its lollipop 5.0.2, most of the initial lollipop bugs are fixed.

2.	No need to root or unlock bootloader.

3.	All the stock apps (like contacts, calculator, calender, dialer etc) are updated with materials design, and you will love it. 

Bad:

1.	Brightness bug, don’t lower your brightness by mistake, use adaptive brightness instead.

2.	It will not update your legacy launcher and default messaging app. download those from play store.

One thing: don’t use messaging app from play store f you are using both the Sims for messaging. It does not have dual sim features, it will use the settings define in other messaging app.

3.	Dialer app is little bit slow and laggy which I dislike the most.
[Moto G General] naturist:
Thanks for the share guys. Just finished flashing it and everything works well.
[Moto G General] MonoTheKing:
Yes, no android logo when you press and hold Power and Volume Down buttons simultaneously. Just hold them few seconds and you can go to bootloader.

But after that do everything that Op said. I did it, and can go to recovery menu by that method, wiped the cache partition completely. Make sure you do it properly :victory:

Totally agree with you!

not the Root folder it's sdcard's root directory so just paste it where your other folders are like android,DCIM etc.. just paste the zip there and than rename and check for update from setting.
[Moto G General] jayc137:
Faced the same thing on 4.4.4 stock too (with locked BL) and reflashing didn't help. The only advice I can give is to use a custom ROM unless this bug is fixed.

it do not show any update

I download the file and i am not able to paste it in root folder show an error not enough space and still not get any update

Problems solved

After couple of days using lolipop i noticed some bugs like flickering screen and lags while using phone in daily basis. And i decided to factory reset my moto g. Before factory reset and after that my score on antutu benchmark goes to 1000 points more , and overall experince was a lot smoother, but flickering stayed. After some time i installed game and my phone froze and i reset my device holding power button. What happened next is that my flickering problem dissapear, i dont know how they just dissapear. Maybe this post will help someone, anyways thanks for reading :)

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

I just noticed when i turn off adaptive brightness and set brightness level to lowest possible, there is no flickerings ... :)
[Moto G General] AviCorpse:
I was able to factory reset my phone via adb. It worked and i am back to fresh lollipop again. For now i am not much experimenting.

One thing I am sure of is this build of lollipop has some serious bugs. and definitely should not be used on daily basis. Hope they soon bring bugs fixes. Currently i am waiting for cyanogenmod 12 M build.
[Moto G General] MonoTheKing:
That flickering is a serious bug, and even worse, if you lower your brightness (~ <30%), your screen will flicker, turn black and out of control, so terrible, but not everyone meet that, still don't know why. Waiting for a bug fix.

[Moto G General] klaymaniaf:
Thus build is very buggy, I found very serious bugs like: phone freez, random reboot, screen flickering, all of this based on memory problem i think. When I use apps that require more memory it hapens. Sorry for my english.

I made a clean install like the tutorials found on xda. Untill now v. 4.4.4 is the best for xt1033.
[Moto G General] rapeol:
successfully updated.. thank you soooooooo much :)

i downloaded via mediafire but forgot changing the name.. put it to internal storage and checked update.. then my phone said the magical words: new update is available :) i don't know how, but its ok now. :svetius:

edit: i don't see any bugs like screen flickering,random reboot or freezing.. (using 5.0.2 about 14 hours, wish i didn't see any bugs later)

[Moto G General] rapeol:
oh no.. bad news.. :) ok, let me ask you a question.. i wanna stay on this version but will my phone get the other "official" updates later on this ROM? ok, it's stock but i installed it manually... i read some answers but not convinced :(
[Moto G General] aj7400:
ull get all official updates friend ...

Do keep a check on threads ... As soon as it is released it will be captured and u can again install it ..

As it is a soak test ... And motorola dosent know that you have installed it .. So it could be a confusion ...

So its better that first of all u wil have to update to official update manually ..

And then ull get smooth future updates

Hit thanks if helped
