Downloading, testing on a UK XT1032

Fails to apply over UK firmware due to incorrect device id. I guess I'll need to flash 4.3 US first...

Now I get mismatch between expected falcon_umts and existing xt1032. Guess I'll have to see about hacking the install script.

yep, you need modified script or install stock rom us

Even stock US didn't seem to help.

Flashed stock US again and wiped data this time round, the device still identifies as xt1032 instead of the required falcon_umts

Playing around with the script now... Actually, come to think of it, would you be able to post a CWM backup of the applied OTA? that ought to be much easier

I just tried to flash this update over official US global fw (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2578997) on a fr Moto G. I got an error during the verification of the curre,t system: "not enough free space on /system to appl patches. Installation aborted."

F***...
Any idea?

-----Update-----
The first try was with the original recovery.
I just tried with cwm, it says the device is xt1032 but the package is for falcon_umts...

lost101 · Dec 24, 2013

When attempting to flash via CWM on UK XT1032, the following is returned:

Package expects build fingerprint of motorola/falcon_retuglb/falcon_utms:4.3/14.10.0Q3.X-84-16/6:user/release-keys or motorla/falcon_retuglb/falcon_utms:4.4.2/KXB20.9-1.8-1.1/4:user/release-keys; this device has motorola/cm_xt1032:4.3.1/JLS36I/126

Did you flash US stock firmware first? (though for me that didn't help, either)

lost101 · Dec 24, 2013

No, UK GSM XT1032 with Stock Retail Rom. What to see if it can be forced onto non-US XT1032. Changing device name from 'falcon_retgb' to 'falcon_retuglb' using Android Model Changer makes no difference.

EDIT: Forgot to change build number.

Since the OTA is a patch rather than a full firmware, I doubt forcing it onto another base would work (UK and US do not behave entirely the same, even after initial boot up!)...

newdeal99 · Dec 24, 2013

Has anybody tried flashing this over the telus/koodo version of the moto G?

lost101 · Dec 24, 2013

It appears the device name is stored somewhere outside of android. So to flash the US ROM is not enough. Two obvious choices: Find that location and change it, if that's even possible, or attempt to modify the install script.

flibblesan · Dec 24, 2013

You must be doing something wrong. The OTA flashes fine here onto a UK device running US Global ROM.

You must be running the US_retail_XT1032_14.10.0Q3.X-84-16_CFC.xml.zip ROM on your device with an unlocked bootloader. Ignore the errors whilst flashing the ROM. Let the phone boot up once, then turn it off. Open bootloader menu then go to recovery and open it. Now use adb sideload to push the Blur_Version.14.14.16.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US.zip OTA over to the phone and flash it. Wait for the patching to finish and you'll be on US global kitkat.

Before anyone asks.. sorry but I don't have the time to extract the system as it's Christmas and I have family stuff to deal with.

1. I am not a "noob" I am flashing roms, kernel and recovery since the begining of Android.
2. I have done exactly what you said:
I followed the other thread, i am in US_retail_XT1032_14.10.0Q3.X-84-16_CFC (i verified it in settings)
I tried to flash the file by sideload, by copy and flash from the original recovery and cwm and it does not work!

Agreed and even removing the falcon_umts check in the install script does nothing, the update never actually proceeds on my device.

All the update checks for is the correct build fingerprint in build.prop so I don't quite understand why you are having problems. You do have an XT1032 device right?

Yes I have this phone and have flashed the US Global. All works but you will lose HSPA+ and only get 3G!

You still get HSPA. It's just shown as '3G' on US devices rather that 'H'.

Gone back to the UK ROM myself. Keep losing cell signal with the US global ROM which is weird as I thought the US Global was supposed to be pretty much the same as the European global?.. I'm on EE.
