I am trying to check for updates but I am not seeing the recent update that is being pushed out yet, so I was wondering if someone managed to capture the OTA file
Here are the details:
Firmware Version: MSM8960PRO_BP_23255.138.89.00R
Kernel Version: 3.4.42-gb476356 hudsoncm @ ilclbld99 # 1 Tue Aug 25 07:43:11 CDT 2015
System Version: 222.27.5.ghost_row.Retail.en.US
Build Number: LPA23.12-15.5
Pulled this off my phone: https://mega.nz/#!a4Mz2BiQ!VSxGh6g2oLviQ5yO9bhlh9-MCVBTf3GE7vzYZ3ZYvw0
But I haven't been able to apply it, even after using fastboot to flash stock system partition. All the hashes fail comparison.
All my attempts at taking this have failed as well, I even reflashed stock 5.1 from Motorola and tried. Have you tried sideloading this?

Yes, I think it is a bad OTA. It failed at me as well.

My phone won't even start now. I disabled and uninstalled xPosed and flashed the stock recovery, and restarted and it let me download and install the update. Then I check my phone and it won't start. I get the boot screen with the rotating globe, then just a black screen. Scouring the forums for a fix.
I've tried re-locking the bootloader but can't seem to get that to work now that I've moved to 5.1. The method I used previously just fails. It looked like unlocked bootloaders were failing on the update.

I hate to say this, but, did you try powering it off & back on? Ever since 5.1 whenever I've reloaded the firmware the initial boot always locked up on me.
someone has succeded with the update here:

I do have an unlocked bootloader on my XT1053 Dev Edition, so maybe you're right, unlocked BLs can't upgrade? Damn shame. I ended up having to format the system partition and completely sideload the stock 5.1 ROM from scratch. Such a pain. I'm holding off on upgrading for now. Either going to get a new phone soon anyway or start flashing ROMs. I never felt the need to flash anything fancy on here since stock Android + Moto's tweaks + some Xposed/GravityBox magic were perfect for me, but I may have to flash something that has Stagefright built in.
I should add, at this point, I'm just glad to have a working phone. I'm no magician with this stuff, and there was a point last night where I thought I had completely bricked my phone.
Check out the link in post #7 above - it worked for me.

do you have any custom launcher? because that is a reason that prevents from updating your device !!! if you are not rooted you can easily update to JB

JB OTA doesn't work for me either and I'm 100% stock.
Downloads fine, reboots to install, and then get a little green robot with a red exclaimation mark, then boots back to the homescreen and says Update Failed.
Same issue here.
Mine was unlocked, rooted, CWM installed.
Ive since removed CWM but have the exact same issue now as you.
Ive also tried updating with the OTA file via factory recovery. This also fails part way through the process.
Currently Im trying a factory reset and OTA update. Its been a 3 hour mission so far........

Factory reset....still fails. What a joke.
---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------
Anyone have any words of wisdom as to another update procedure we can try?
Installing the factory OTA update from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028814 (81.5.39001-91.2.29001.Retail.en.GB 4.0.4-4.1.2)
From recovery (default) updating from external storage gives the following error:
Code:

E: Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

Do we perhaps need to remove root?
I am pretty much the same as everyone else,
I have the bootloader unlocked and it is rooted, using stock ICS (No CFW what so ever)
I download update, install, get 1/4 of the way and then Andy is on his back with a red "!" above him.
Now i read somewhere yesterday that you need to un-root your phone, and then flash some stock firmware back onto it where you can the upgrade to JB?
If this is true can you direct me (and probably many others) to a link to do such thing?
Cheers

Hi,
I have moto g 2014 dual sim. today I tried to reflash the os but got "Failed to validate system image" upon reboot. So I unlocked the bootloader and again reflashed the os but got bootloop.. Please tell me how to boot my moto G 2014?
Read the instructions and flash it correctly with the correct firmware. Also post your question in the correct section.
If you have winrar or 7zip you can extract the firmware and take the "boot.img" file and flash it separate from the other firmware and it should work. That's how I do mine.

Let me tell you the series of events that led me to have bricked Moto G 2014:
1. I had X1068 Moto G 2-14
2. Wanted to reflash firmware and followed the steps provided in 4.2 section here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t2873657
3. I got "Failed to Validate System Image" when I tried to reboot.
4. I was advised to unlock bootloader and reflash firmware. I did the same but got bootloop when I tried to reboot.
5. Now when I power on the phone, bootloader unlocked warning message comes and the screen blinks with the same message..
Please help Bro..
Who ever told you to unlock bootloader to flash firmware is giving bad advice. It is not required to unlock the bootloader to flash the factory firmware.
Make sure you're using the driver from here: http://www.mymotocast.com/download/MDM?platform=windows
(If you have other Android ADB drivers installed, uninstall them first, before installing this one.)
Make sure you are using mfastboot.exe, not the regular fastboot.exe.
Make sure your downloaded firmware is not corrupt and you got the correct version of the firmware for your device, there are different ones.
Download the firmware from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=36
I believe your file is "Blur_Version.21.11.14.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03", but check on it.
After you reflash, make sure you boot into recovery mode and do a factory wipe.
The firmware for this phone is split into 3 files, so make sure you flash all three of them.

Thanks bro.. It was my mistake not to flash all files in the firmware folder.. apart from three system files (0,1,2), we also need to flash fourth system file (3) in the firmware folder... Thanks again bro...

Greetings from Venezuela. Just recently, I bought a new Moto G since my old S3 got severly damaged which made it unrepairable. I loved the reviews about de Moto G, but sadly since I got it I've had no luck with it.
While being connected to a WiFi connection, just looking around the celphone's settings, the phone required a system update straight off the bat. I had noticed before the update that the phone was instantly rebooting once the inactivity timer went off locking itself. Obviously after some time I did notice it by locking the phone manually (pressing the power button). I'm not that geeky or experienced in the Android field, but by doing some research on the web I've read some stuff that makes me not lose all hope on the phone, making me want to fix it.
I've tried factory resets, recoverys and nothing has worked. It has made me really frustrated not being able to fix the issue. All I've really done refering to flashing is unlocking bootloader, but still without flashing anything yet to make sure what I'm doing is the right thing to do.

Android version: 5.0.2
Baseband version: MSM8626BP_1032.3112.97.00R

A New Problem
I recently got an ~138mb OTA update, tried to install it, after downloading it, but it failed at default recovery installer, rebooting with an error message saying "Update installation unsuccessful". Hence, I tried it with a custom recovery TWRP installed in my mobile, with TWRP manager app for android (with my phone rooted obviously) So after downloading update, on giving install, it goes to TWRP recovery main menu, from there I dont know how to install the downloaded update, or where it is available to browse to... Being unsure, I rebooted it to normal boot up, but no matter what I do now, the phone after turning on in the home screen, automatically powers down(switching off) to TWRP recovery main menu, I am stuck here please help me, someone.
I dont wanna lose all my data!! Give me a suitable solution

tbh you need to minimum factory reset
but I believe you will need to install stock rom from scratch

Guys i need help! I have the european Dual Sim Moto 2nd gen, locked bootloader and i tried to install Android Marshmallow via the indian zip (soak test) that i found in XDA. After installing the update via internal storage, it got stuck in optimizing 157 apps/158, it bootlooped and now it stucked it 1/1 optmizing ... What can i do???
Please, anything.
I just realized I posted in the wrong phone section. Can someone move this over to the G2? Sorry
Hi all, after updating my lollipop moto g2 today, 3/3/2016 my moto G2 has been stuck on the no command screen (dead android with red exclamation mark). This update was all stock, the bootloader was not unlocked and everything was untouched. I tried going to recovery, clearing and wiping cache and even factory reset and everything in the recovery option but still end up with the no command screen and constant rebooting.
I called Motorola and they told me that I have to send in my phone for "repair" and the update clearly bricked my phone and I'd have to pay for the repair which I don't think is fair
Is there anyone with a fix?
Thanks
I think they should recall this update until they can get it fixed and usable! This is beyond a joke
@Gary +1 Really, what a disaster. Does not inspire confidence in the entire Android enterprise/ecosystem.

Guys I need help please. So I have a moto g2014 ( XT1068 ) (non gplay version) and I tried installing a Custom ROM (I don't quite remember the name of the ROM). My phone was rooted and I had TWRP recovery. But when I tried to install the ROM I first click on "wipe system" so my stock ROM was no logern existing. When I flashed the Custom ROM everything was allright but there was a signal bug that when I hit "ok" it appears again, fed up with that I decided to wipe that ROM from my phone but I forgot that I have no backup of my stock ROM. Tried installikg KK (the phone came with that SO but I updated to Lollipop as soon as I could) and then the TWRP stopped working (and it seems to have dissapeared becausd I get the "recovery fail" at the bootloader screen when trying to enter recovery mode). Now I'm stuck in the Moto loading screen and nothing else happens. Help guys, please!!! (bootloader is ulocked btw) ???

got the ota today on my phone. is it Marshmellow?
Got it earlier this week.
No, it is not Marshmallow. Marshmallow should be version 6.
Was this question rhetorical? The details are listed in the release notes.
There's some radio related firmware in there for anyone interested. Sometimes that's helpful for people with radio issues.

Hello, looking for help.
My daughters Ze551kl had an ota update error resulting in a true cyclic bootloop from asus bootup screen to op system which reboots in about 1 second after flashing the op system background.
I cant unlock the bootlock. No operating system access.
I tried to restore with adb sideload and i get response on a pc and the phone that it installs ok, but the bootloop remains. I put 1531 on via adb and i did get the correct files from asus. I have done this several times. No change.
I can't flash because the bootloader is locked and i cant find an adb bootloader level unlock. Does this exist?
What do you folks recommend?
I cannot install twrp or do flashing of recovery. I can get to fastboot and the recovery options. I have cleared the cashes.
Thanks for any advice.
---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------
Hello, almost forgot, do i need to unlock the bootloader?
If the abd transfer has worked and installed the new version, but the bootloop remains, what else can be done? Is this a partition or hardware problem that showed itself during the update process?
You may have bricked it. Personally, I'd send it to Asus, if it's still in warranty, and let them fixit.
Hey guys so I have a problem.
Tried to upgrade to the Nougat EMUI 5 from EMUI 4.1 on my P9. It installed but it had no camera and no keyboard installed. So I tried to do a factory reset, I did but now I'm stuck in the set up wizard, and can't even complete it because no keyboard (google voice in its place) and if I try to skip step that need input and go to the end it just loops from the beginning.
Next step I took a stock rom of 4.1 and placed it in my external SD card in dload folder and tried to do a force upgrade but no help. It immediately shows 5% and it fails with no error just a red exclamation mark. So next I tried to use fastboot to flash it but get errors saying remote command not allowed (I have HiSuite installed, but the phone doesn't show when I run 'adb devices').
Factory reset fails, erecovery fails to download anything, can't system recover with hisuite as it fails. But when I try it, the fastboot screen on the phone say 'rescue mode entered' so it's being detected.
I'm at my wits end here on how to get it back. Screw latest android, just want to use the phone. Also does this break warranty? I didn't root it or anything but installing unsupported software could be considered warranty void?
Thank you for help in advance

I believe your warranty is still valid since you havent unlocked the bootloader. After upgrading to Nougat you should have downloaded the rollback package from huawei`s page, since you cannot simply go from Nougat back to Marshmallow ( you need to flash two files, first being "an intermediate package", and second one being marshmallow update.app file, both of which can be downloaded from huawei`s official site ). Try this and see if it helps

Thanks for the reply, now I know for the future.
In the mean time I fixed it with DC phoenix tool. Although now I have a problem as it set it to C900 so lock screen doesnt update, themes and icons dont work. All issues i can live but would like to fix them. All I know is that I have to unlocka the bootloader, install TWRP, install the version I want with hw and dt folders, and reboot. But everyone on forums speak like you know how to do it and can't find a good guide on how to do it.

You`re welcome. DC Phoenix is good, but you have to pay in order to use it, right ? That`s my problem, I cant pay since all my money comes from my dad . In your case I would probably try to update via huawei updater and HiSuite. As far as I`ve seen, that method has been most reliable for the majority of users.

I dont know how much research you have done or what you have tried exactly but it sounds like you have made matters worse. I was in your situation before but was able to get past the setup wizard without a keyboard, after this I got ADB working and just installed a keyboard APK.
C900 means you have a cross flashed rom, this can cause all sorts of different issues and I believe when it comes to updates, C900 either gets no updates at all or be the very last in line to get updates. Also, being on C900 could void your warranty.
DC Phoenix worked for me, I found myself in the same position as you (no dload, reocvery, e-recovery only fastboot) and thought my phone was unrecoverable for good. Tried every method possible. in the end bit the bullet paid the fee for DC Phoenix had my phone running in 20 minutes.
Hopefully some smart cookies can develop some freeware that works the same way.

I fixed it by using DC Phoenix to flash the B163 stock ROM but got the C900 firmware due to cross flashing. I fixed it by unlocking my bootloader, installing TWRP and rooting it. Then I just flashed the C432 OEMINFO, reboot and immidietaly got a notification that an available update is ready to be downloaded (B182). Downloaded it, installed no problem and now I'm on L09C432B182, which is what I wanted, minus all bloatware from my provider (Vodafone)
All done with SRK Tool (in the utilities menu it has for OEM fixing and even the themes not working by flashing the hw_init folders).
Overall, got it running and everything fixed

Awesome, good to hear. I highly recommend you upgrade to Nougat (but make sure your camera app and keyboard app is installed and working). You should be able to do this by using HiSuite and Updater 2.0.
In the same situation

First of all, get your bootloader unlock code. To get it google how to get it (I cant post link as I don't have enough posts to have privileges). If you can't on the English, make a new account on the chinese emui page and use google translate in chrome to navigate. (if the padlock button doesnt give you a form to fill out, clear your cache and cookies or open in incognito mode)
Once you have the code, find the "SRK Tool Huawei Bootloader/ROOT/Recovery/Backup/Utility" thread on XDA and download the latest stable build, should be around 700mb. Also in the thread, the guy posted a video on how to do it.
Step 1: Unlock bootloader
Step 2: install TWRP Recovery
Step 3: Root
These 3 steps are in the video.
Once you successfully rooted, open the tool again and in the Utilities menu (7) there is an option to flash OEMInfo. Select that and choose the OEM info you want. I needed C432. It will use the superuser app to flash it, reboot and you should be on it.
If you are asking how to use DC-Phoenix, again they have both written as well as a video with instructions on how to do it. You don't need an unlocked bootloader as it will use an exploit to circumvent it. Do Method 1, if it doesn't work, do Method 2.
Good luck mate

I got into this mess in the first place by flashing the B361 and my camera and keyboard didnt work after upgrading it. But now that i know how to fix it, I might give it a shot. Is there a thread with features and testing of the Nougat emui 5 for P9? I saw a lot of threads of people rolling back due to battery issues and other stuff. Don't want to update if its not the best.
Thanks
