Hi

I handset is 4.4.2. which is 175 version ...rooted & custom recovery. After download from OTA it restart in recovery & update the software and goes to recovery menu. from there i click on restart the handset. But after normal booting it again restart in recovery & showing installing... this is going in loop.

am i doing anything wrong. As you mention in FAQ should i have to download rom from link provided (this link). and install using recovery.

Those link was for people on 4.3 and not for 4.4.2.

For 4.4.2 you have taken ota with rooted and gone in bootloop.

Now if you have twrp recovery you are very lucky ! If not install it.

In twrp advance option you will find file manager.

Using that file manager go to catch folder and rename it or move or delete ota zip file. Which should be name something like blur__Version.175.44.1.falcon_cdma.Boost.en.US.zip

Boot normally and you are back in 4.4.2.

Now you need same zip file.

But this time rename it to update.zip and copy it to phone memory.

From twrp you can now flash this file.

I have mention this in above FAQ for people who are in 4.4.2 with custom recovery

Your current moto g 4.4.2 is debloted that's why these errors are coming with its zip

Now You should use 4.4.4 stock rooted zip from above 3 file link. And flash in recovery . use full 400+ MB file.

@varun your issue is same as smyagnik

Restore stock app which you renamed or moved and update will be fine

So I did the big mistake of upgrading from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4, without taking note of spc..

my phone is not rooted, and I am not sure what to do..

Hitesh please advice

I believe the solution is to do something twrp recovery which I have never used. So requesting detailed advice.

thanks

I haven't updated yet as have disabled the OTA update as Hitesh instructed.

My query is how incremental is this 4.4.4 jump? Does it give a much improved experience or is it just cosmetic?

Apparently the Dialer interface looks different. Can someone post a screengrab of it?

To anyone who has updated, can you please give your inputs...

@bablus as you phone was already on reliance, mostly SPC must be 000000, if not you can ask person who did registration. going from 4.3 or from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 will not change your spc.

@man-Saturday all moto stock roms are rock solid stable, so nothing big in 4.4.4, as far as dialer is concern, it only shows photos of contacts with the Name.

if your contact dose not have photo , it will show starting alphabet like if person name is starting from A, it will show big square A and name at left bottom corner.

its is something like below image.

You are right (obviously)

but the prl does not stick

no matter how many times I try, prl is not getting pushed in offline a mode

it stays in offline d only

Are you using dfs to push prl? Then it should work fine

resolved

unfortunately hitesh wasnt spot on with the spc prediction

it had not changed to 000000

I found the spc code saved in NV writer. I guess it has cache memory, found it as per last used.

Pushed prl with spc code using DFS. phone started working

Aah..Thanks a lot Hitesh. You answered my query. Won't upgrade for such small changes. Will wait for something more substantial if & when that occurs...

Don't know how my comment above went into the quote section. Sorry.

No other way , you can try custom ROM

After doing nandroid backup , just flash any custom tom and u will get 4.4.4, few suggestions are gummy , PA, pa unofficial.

But from now on never take official update or load official ROM by fastboot or by RSD lite. This will wipe your data settings.

If you want to return from custom to stock only way will be restoring backup from recovery .

Right now there is no easy way to go back to 4.4.2 and also I don't have any solutions for spc on 4.4.4

So wait till apk developer updates its app for 4.4.4.

Also as your phone is registered on reliance. You can get your spc from person who did registration. Mostly it was done zero before doing reliance programing.
