Hi thanks. Do you have news for EU firmware ?

[Guest spannerz]

No sign yet online but I guess it'll be coming soon

[Guest Lusitanius]

Just used the OTA zip on my retail DE Moto G and it works. Baseband version has ben upgraded.

[Guest dibbles]

Does this update take time to get t those who bought the Moto G from Tesco...?

 

Just bought mine yesterday and whilst it did update to KK it is on an earlier build to that noted in the link.

[Guest spannerz]

The Tesco Moto G's were getting the KitKat update pretty early on so no reason to think it'll be much different to this update. Not everyone gets the update at the same time, even with Tesco Moto G's kitkat update.

Hmmm...my phone tells me it's up to date when I check, but it's not on that version number yet (on retail ROM, not Tesco)

[Guest Neron]

Same here anyone extracted the update, to install manually?

[Guest nirmalbalaji]

@Loren82, What is the size of that update?

[Guest sajty]

Fot those,who still didnt get update.Download the update manually (link is on xda for example),put it on sdcard and then check for updates again.

[Guest joefez]

Does anyone know if this affects root or any framework modifications?

 

I've got a Tesco 16gb Moto G, updated to Kitkat, unlocked and rooted, with the xposed framework / wanam kit installed. Anyone else in a similar situation applied the 176.44.1 patch yet? 

 

Cheers

 

Update: Took the plunge and can confirm the update works and maintains root after the OTA upgrade. Had to re-enable Xposed, but all modules were active again after a reboot.

Does it also fix the battery life issue if Location Services are turned on? On my phone, that makes standby battery life drop from 2 weeks to just over 2 days. 

It does not seem that it did. But at least this update did not break anything else for me. I call that a success. 

[Guest mandr0id]

When I ran this update (OTA) on a handset with retail stock rom it has caused problems where there were none before.

Now I am unable to make calls full stop most of the time.  If I can make a call (one in fourty chance maybe) the end call button appears to end at call receiving side, but not on the Moto G and nothing will end except a reset.

 

Can I rollback as this is useless - a phone that can't phone.
