Success!

I had this problem initially as well because I downgraded to 5.0 using the official Motorola 5.0 firmware downloaded from the Motorola website, which is apparently 46-11.11.

I had to use this one-day-older version instead, which is apparently 46-11.10: TMO_XT1095_5.0_LXE22.46-11_cid9_CFC.xml.zip. I found it and downloaded it from here: http://motofirmware.center/files/file/76-tmo_xt1095_50_lxe2246-11_cid9_cfcxmlzip/

So... I downloaded the firmware from that link, followed the OP instructions almost exactly*, and I was able to upgrade from 23.11.14 to 23.16.3 successfully.

* One change I had to make from OP instructions: The pieces of system image had an extra period before the piece number, so I needed to retype those commands like this: fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0 ...etc.
[X 2014 General] Stanleywinthrop:

anyone able to root this new OTA?

CF auto root was working on every previous OTA from 4.4 to 5.0 and 5.1 but now causes boot loops. I am able to TWRP back to the unrooted build to get me out of the bootloops.
[X 2014 General] nbell13:

Earlier, you said you were rooted. Have you applied this OTA since uploading? I'm wondering if unrooting and flashing a stock recovery to flash this 163MB zip to go from 23.11.14 to 23.16.3 works, or if I need to do additional steps (I'm running 23.11.14 with root and Xposed).

I had the exact same error. I figured out the problem was I was on the stock 5.0 direct from Motorola's website. I flashed the 5.0 firmware from the OP in this thread and i successfully sideloaded 23.16.3 after that.

The one in the OP is probably be the same. I just know that I had previously downloaded two different versions of the 5.0 firmware: One from Motorola, and one from elsewhere. My mistake was thinking, "Oh, the Motorola one is official, so I should use that instead." I had to go back and use the one from elsewhere instead.

Edit: My first impressions are in general, It's Insanely smooth (Really!) but I Don't see any improvement in the cam.. Need more time to test the Battery Life
[X 2014 General] :
I am still experiencing bluetooth issues on the new build. When I get into my car it no longer connects automatically and I have to shut the bluetooth on and then turn it back on to connect. I have had that issue since I went from 5.0 to 5.1 (23.11.14).

I will try removing the bluetooth device and re-adding it to the phone though.

As far as wifi, I see improvement. On the previous build, I will randomly get disconnected of my home wifi and would not see my home network so I would turn wifi off and on to get back to it. This seems resolved.

For the camera part, I am so disappointed with the picture/video quality and the video size that I just don't bother using it.
[X 2014 General] anstosa:
I'm in the same position you were (TWRP, root, 23.11.14).

Download OTA from [MENTION=4458251]leffer[/MENTION]'s post to phone

Download images from your link and extract to ??? on phone

Reboot to TWRP

Restore system image via Restore?

Install OTA?

What is the correct directory for the backup files?

I assume the Pure Edition XT1095 - Lollipop 5.0 22.21.11 recovery.img from GraffixNYC is the stock recovery I'm looking for? Or do I need to get a 23.11.14 stock recovery somewhere?
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
Idk if any stock recovery will work or it has to be the version you are running. The twrp backup is mainly for those who have only rooted or changes any system stuff, changing nothing else. The backup location would be under the "TWRP" folder

It is 60.16. It is the same as the one that was on 23.11.14. I can say that I successfully downgraded my system from 23.11.14 (5.1) to 5.0 without a problem. What seems to be causing most of the bricks is people downgrading to 4.4.4 and then taking the 5.0 ota. There seems to be some checks missing causing the 5.0 ota to downgrade the bootloader causing bricks.

[X 2014 General] binglejellsx2:
I'm not sure if mine is a rare case, but I have downgraded from 5.1 soak 1 to 4.4.4 so I could get to 5.1 soak 2 (long ago, before there were reports of bricking). Flashing the first 2 files (gpt.bin and motoboot.img) with Moto's fastboot fails (as was stated in some instructions I saw in another thread). I'm not sure which one of those two files is the bootloader, but that's probably a good thing. The rest of the files flashed fine, took the OTA to 5.0, and sideloaded 5.1 soak 2 (23.11.14). And now I'm on 23.16.3.

tl;dr It's possible to not brick going from 5.1 to 4.4.4, I just don't know what the causes are.

Could people perhaps be using Google's fastboot instead of Moto's, which may prevent downgrading the bootloader, to flash the files?
[X 2014 General] Dark9781:
There were really no issues downgrading to 4.4.4 on the first soak. The problem started occurring with the second soak because of bootloader version 60.16. You can downgrade to 4.4.4 with that bootloader version, but if you attempt to take the ota to 5.0 you will brick. The ota does not see the 60.16 bootloader as a newer bootloader so it flashes the bootloader for 5.0 (I believe it is 60.12) which is of course a downgrade. This causes the brick.
[X 2014 General] warsaw79:

Ok, so I am on 23.11.14, sideloaded the OTA to get here a couple weeks ago. I did not root after the OTA (had root but stock recovery prior on 5.0, but unrooted to run the OTA and I reached 23.11.14 without error).

I am gettting the update notification for 23.16.3 but it fails. I tried sideloading Blur_Version.23.11.14 (which would contain 23.16.3) but it fails with error 7. Says my version is wrong. I have never flashed any system images etc. Stock, just rooted once without changing recovery, unrooted, and sideloaded one OTA.

After all of that, is there any way to get to 23.16.3 without wiping? Thanks for any help!

Edit: could I just omit "fastboot erase userdata" from instructions in the OP?

[X 2014 General] Kallb123:
As someone with an XT1092 (or XT1097, whichever the UK retail one is), this caused a few problems. After going back to 5.0 and flashing the OTA, I had no signal and couldn't get to the quick settings.

Wiping cache and userdata didn't fix the signal problem, but since I couldn't get past first time setup I can't say whether it fixed the quick settings pulldown.

Flashing an old modem got everything working, WiFi, 4G, QuickSettings.

I had the same problem but it came from modifying the system partition. i was also rooted and on twrp. flashed the correct recovery and changed everything back in system partition then the issue resolved itself.

Well, I did have a silly smiley! I never flashed TWRP or changed anything in my system partition. I rooted using Chainfire AutoRoot and un-rooted in SuperSU before applying 23.11.14 OTA a couple weeks ago, which was successful.

I'm doing the manual method because I had root on 23.11.14, and I keep getting this error when sideloading the OTA:

"/modem/image/mba.b00" has unexpected contents.

It comes up when verifying the file system, but I flashed everything in the 5.0 image--only thing I didn't do was wipe cache and userdata.
[X 2014 General] alvareo:
Are you sure you did these?

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

That error is given out when the modems do not correspond. It happened to me so I flashed them and then I was fine.

[X 2014 General] Mnemoch:
Sorry, which file and which instructions? I only see the 5.0 image which wipes data when it is installed.
[X 2014 General] dylantep:
5.1 factory image from https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images
[X 2014 General] Dark9781:
What you did is an option to get to 5.1. This thread was created prior to the existence of the 5.1 fxz. At that time downgrading to 5.0 and then either sideloading or taking the ota was the only option. Wiping the user data just helped ensure that there were no issues and were completely stock.
[X 2014 General] dylantep:
I see. that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplex88:
I had recently bought LG G2 D802 phone this month and I wanted to upgrade it to possibly Android 4.4 Kitkat from Android 4.2 Jellybean So, I went to 'Update Center > Software Update in phone settings.

The update is known as:

"v20a-MAR-07-2014 (534.84 MB)"

Firstly, I would like to know whether this Kitkat or lollipop or whatever update it is?

After a few megabytes of downloading, the native download manager reports an error "Cannot download" and there's no way to resume it from where it left. I have tried this process many times and every time it failed and I am sure there's nothing wrong with my Wi-fi.

While I was looking for an alternative way to manually grab this update via PC, I tried "LG PC Suite" to check for updates which said that: "2 upgrades are available" and the latest version is lollipop as the picture in attachment shows. but I only wish to upgrade to Kitkat OS. Is possible that I just disconnect my phone from PC Suite after it finishes applying only just one upgrade and not the lollipop upgrade?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wojtal:
Most likely it's Kitkat. Lollipop for G2 is named like V30A, V30B, V30D and so on. You can download KDZ file for your device and flash it.

URL: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=123123123

You have to replace 123123123 with your device's IMEI.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lusseMagnet:
You can only download the newest available KDZ on the linked page. Probably not KK, since it's not the newest available for the D802.

Search around a bit. You should be able to find the KK KDZ for the region you want linked somewhere on xda. Just refer to the sticky post regarding flashing a KDZ.

And no you shouldn't disconnect your device during the update. Also the DL is failing because KK isn't available through LG servers anymore.

Happy upgrading
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplex88:
It sounds like a bad news that they have taken down the link from their Official website. So far the phone is working just fine and I am not sure if I should even update the phone to anything since many of the users from the forums all over the internet (as I have read) are complaining about how the updates ruined their phone (I assume especially the G2) and brought so many disappointing bugs to deal with.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lusseMagnet:
AFAIK most bugs plaguing KK got fixed in the end. I remember downgrading from KK to JB because of some audio issues. They are now not present anymore, and KK is as stable as it gets. It even performed better than JB (the ui used to animate way too quickly so it looked laggy, and fixed the microstuttering in most apps).

I would personally recommend KK. Have had some problems with LP, where it wouldn't run as smoothly and the battery life was a tad worse, so now I'm back on KK.
