Brazilian Moto G XT1033, bootloader unlocked, actually using Stock ROM 5.0.2 with Stock Recovery

Hello guys

Well, I was with rooted Stock 5.0.2 ROM 2 days ago, when it notified me that was an update available, so I know that I can't update by OTA with a rooted phone.

I wiped system/cache/dalvik and installed Stock ROM 4.4.4 by ADB+mfastboot for remove the root and be able to update normally.

When the cell started, I updated the "Motorola update service" in Play Store and searched for new updates (Settings > About phone > System updates). A few seconds and it returned the following message: "Check for update was not available at this time. Try again later.".

So, I downloaded the Stock ROM 5.0.2 and installed it by the same way (Wipe > Install by ADB/mfastboot) hoping that it will solve my problem... But it didn't ;(

I did some factory resets, some cache wipes etc and nothing worked for me.

I also installed the stock 5.0.2 recovery again as I saw in a forum topic, but still didn't work.

It is everything right with my phone and network connections.

This message keeps popping up, and I can not update.

Can anyone please help me? Thanks

(Sorry if I had a bad english, still learning...).

@Thales Lima : 1: keep patient, will have update after 1 day or more. If it said: system up to date=> cant update
2: you can download OTA zip file for xt1033, copy to phone( not put in any folder), and check update,it will update manually. Its ok like auto update. :)

Whoooa, where did you find it? ^^
Thank you a lot!

------------ EDIT -------------

I pushed the zip file right named to my SD Card (none folder), and looked again for updates, and it returned the same message (Check for update was not available at this time. Try again later.). Can I update using a Custom Recovery > Install ZIP??

------------ EDIT -------------

The first download was corrupted, I guess... I downloaded it again and now I'm with 5.1 installed ^^ (I installed using the method mentioned by you, thuybang)

Buuut... I still can't connect to the update server and check for new updates ;(
If a new update come available for XT1033, I won't get it =/

No,u have to use stock recovery. When u check update,if it not work, go to recovery, choose: apply update from SD card,hope it work.
OK, I already did and now I'm running 5.1, but still with that problem when checking for new updates. I will never be able again to be notified when comes a new update? ;(

Thanks again thuybang! You helped me a lot :)

Ok,its fine buddy. Maybe u will get 5.1.1. ;) . if its show : system up to date,u will stop in 5.1.
Because before i got auto update( i got 5.1 by auto update when i check update) ,it also got that mgs. My friend show : system up to date,he have to update manual like u.
So u go to recovery, wipe cached, factory reset ,enjoy 5.1. Dont worry, its nomal.

Alright, but... Even when I knew that there was some updates available (when I was with 4.4.4), it returned the same message (that hell message saying that couldn't connect to the update server). But it's alright, when comes a new update available I'm gonna install it manually.

Thank you again, thuybang ^^

Whooa! I think that it really was an update server's fail, now it's normal '-'
