Hello!
I managed to do the OTA update on my HTC Desire 820. The trick is that it replaces the original recovery.
By this method you can also restore the original recovery.
1. Download the OTA Update but do not install.
Go to Options -> About phone -> Software updates
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Open file explorer and go to Download folder (/storage/emulated/0/Download) and find zip file with update and open it.
3. Open firmware.zip
4. Copy "recovery.img" to sdcard for example.
5. Replace recovery.img
To this step I use "Flashify" app from Google Play.
Run Flashify and select "Recovery image".
Select "Choose a file" and select recovery.img
Select "YUP!" and wait.
Don't restart your device.
6. Install update
Go to Options -> About phone -> Software updates and select "Install now".
Click OK. Now your device install update.
This operation takes a few minutes.
7. Final
Managed to do the OTA update.
If you want you can install other back recovery.
In the event of the emergence of a new update you can do the same.
I hope that helped. Best regards.
I followed this process yesterday, but it's ends with red explanation mark.
Why don't you make it like flashable zip for custom recovery.

I once had such a situation as you. Helped off the phone (VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER) and enable it again.
i cant extract the firmware.zip from the dual sim ota, tried it multiple times but always get the message that its corrupt
it worked
Download winrar to help you extract the firmware. I just followed the procedures yesterdat to install my own update that has been pending for few days. It worked so well, just as it was explained here. I use single sim 820 though.
Thanks to this site.
of course i have tried anything already, nothing works, so weird
I extracted firmware.zip by RAR APP from play store, you can try it.

I tried that .I locked bootloader and installed the update but it crashed with red exclamation mark.
Actually that's because you might have "tamper " flag on.

Boot into bootloader and choose recovery option wait for 30sec or 1 minute for recovery menu to show.
There you can see "<Tamper>" flag.
If not then your system files are unchanged.

IF you are sure you have the v8 bootloader installed, you should be able to install a recovery.
You must have an ICS rom installed, or on the Ext SD card, have an ICS rom ready to flash.
If you currently have a stock ICS rom installed, then you need to be rooted, and delete the "boot recovery" file (or similar name). Or else when you boot your tab, the custom recovery gets overwritten.
You can look at Civato's Bootloader and Recovery guide for the exact name of the file.
Note that v8 bootloader and ICS recoveries, DO NOT work well with HC based roms. You must have an ICS Rom.

1) the robot is the 'stock recovery.img'
2) you must be rooted before you can flash 'anything'
3) The only way to do this (on HC) is by installing a custom pre-rooted rom
4) If you want ICS your tab should update itself, you will need acer enhancement app from the market. then Settings>About Tablet>System Update
5) you can install a stock or custom ICS rom BUT you must have root to update to the patched bootloader which some of the custom roms require.
6) you cannot "open" recovery.img.
Ok, so please stop posting the same issue in other threads, or you will never get your problem solved.
Now. You say you have Skirlax_cz's V8 bootloader installed. Correct? If so, you should be able to boot into the menu system of it (vol+ and PWR). If you get the bootloader menu, good.
Now, you will need the Android SDK (google it and download and install it). After installation, go to c:\windows\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools. Open a command window here. (it may be installed in program files)
Boot your tablet like I described above, and at the bootloader menu, select "fastboot". The tablet should say fastboot mode.
Now, copy your recovery.img (or whatever you named it) into the platform tools folder on your PC. It has to be in the same folder as fastboot.exe
Now, make sure you have the rom you want to install on your EXT SD Card.
Next, plug in your tab to the USB (I always make sure in device manager that the tab is recognized as a fastboot device)
In the command window you opened earlier, type in the following;
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Remember, if your recovery image is named "public-recovery.img" for example, that is what you should type in the command above.
Once the recovery is successfully flashed, then turn tab off.
Unplug from USB
Hold PWR and Vol- untill you see the message "booting recovery kernel", then release both. You should boot into the custom recovery now. Then you can do your wipes and stuff as per the rom install instructions.
Of course, this is ONLY if you have the V8 bootloader running.
Also, I posted a better rom. Evil Alex Unleashed, so you should install this. It has problems fixed.
MD
OK MD, thanks for your guide.. now I have installed your ROM successfully, it's running very smooth. Thanks very much and sorry for double posts

Wow! It worked!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, better than I thought.
Gotta love Skirlax_CZ and putting flashboot in the bootloader v8. Throw a thanks at him when you get the chance please. And if you used EZTerry's public recovery, please throw a thanks at him also. And anybody else who helps you. That's how it works here.
I hope you installed Evil Alex. She's much better than Alex V. Alex V is a good girl, but she need the wakelock app from the market. Evil Alex hopefully does not. After all, these are Acer leaks. AKA "beta". So we really don't know what to expect. And things "will" change in the next month, and new builds "will" be released.
Am glad you got it running.
And Dibbs, throw a thanks to him also His instructions were after all, correct (he didn't know your V8 was working).
Any issues, please put them in my rom thread.

Its not working with rom manager. I don't know why but rom manager does not reboot to recovery. I did it the long way installed your rom but the recovery is still corrupted. I installed this way wit EU or US kernel, with and without the radio unlocker the your rom and gaps. After the bootstrap the recovery work ok. Then when fleshing rom ends the recovery is not working right.
Process:
1) Boot to Recovery & Wipe Data (R+M+Power)
2) Boot to Bootloader (Up+Down+Power) & SBF to 2.26 (Using RSD Lite & SBF file) - Usually I have to copy SBF File to root of Hard Drive & name it 2026.sbf or it may fail (ymmv)
3) Skip Activation (Bypass activation on your Android device | Android Central)
4) Settings->Applications, Set Unknown Sources and USB Debugging (in development)
5) Root
6) Install Bootstrap apk, open, press 'bootstrap recover'. then 'reboot recovery' to boot to recovery mode.
7) While in recovery mode, and without rebooting at all:
...a) Wipe Data
...b) Install Radio Unlock
...c) Install Kernel
...d) ROM+ Gapps
Found a partial solution on CM9 threatd. it seems that the stock recovery does not get updated with the new one or the link wit the new one is missing.
IN ORDER TO GET INTO RECOVERY, REBOOT YOUR PHONE, THEN WAIT FOR THE LED TO FLASH BLUE. IF YOU PRESS THE VOLUME DOWN BUTTON WHEN IT'S BLUE THEN IT WILL TAKE YOU INTO THE DEDICATED BOOT MENU. FROM THERE SELECT RECOVERY, THEN CLOCKWORK RECOVERY

Ok what you want is this program called rsd lite... you need to have that on a 32bit windows computer after getting it what you need to do is get the base drivers from motorola and install them... after that make sure your phone is off... now hold the right side button on your pro and hold the volume buttons and the power button... hold these all at once for 30 seconds then a simple menu should pop up... now open rsd lite on your computer and connect your phone and it should pick it up... now you need to get an sbf file for your pro and browse to it in rsd lite and open it then flash it (it can be a sbf.zip file too)

Edit 2: After I renamed the file and ran through mobile uncle tool, it would boot into recovery but give "No command" error.
Figured out that the right way to do is download the file in computer, unzip it, transfer it to mobile sd card, and then run through mobile unkle tool.

First, you should see that this section or thread isn't for your device. and it probably won't work on any other devices than Q700/Q700i.
Abhinav,
I'm having an issue with v2.4.
When I try to reboot or power off from recovery, it just goes back to recovery without doing anything. the only way to reboot is pull battery out.
On selecting reboot phone or any option from power menu, it gives a message which is as follows. I couldn't see this properly as the message appears just for a fraction of second.
May flash recovery on boot
This cannot be undone.
With two options which are as follows:
No.
Disable flash recovery on boot.
After this it goes back to CTR main menu. Any help here.

Welcome to the Official Motorola Lollipop firmwares thread.
Here you will find the Firmware images of Lollipop for Moto G 1st generation once available.
It will be useful to have all variants of the awaited OTA here, since all devices have some differences in hardware, so here I will be placing all OTAs once they are released.
How to capture an Over The Air update?
If you want to contribute with your specific carrier OTA, once your OTA is available, do this:
Download the OTA but don't install it yet. With a ROOTED DEVICE, use some root explorer and go to /cache folder inside the root folder of the phone and copy the downloaded ZIP file to your emulated SD card, then copy it to your PC, upload it to any server you like and submit the link here to have all firmwares in one site.
The OTA will be named like Blur_Version.173.44.9.falcon_umts.Latam.en.AR (this is an example of an Argentinian retail Moto G 4.4.4 OTA ZIP package).
As I said, you need a ROOTED DEVICE to do this, so, if you want to contribute to this database, do all this procedure and unroot your device, or restore your firmware with this guide to make a clean install of the new firmware.

Comming soon
All contributors will be named here:
Thanks to:
* @lost101 for the /cache directory info
That's just my opinion but should related to android L threads be created once we at least will know when it comes? Or even better when it will be released?
There is already one thread have been closed http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/lollipop-t2929720
I'm just saying that this thread is kinda pointless for now.

The thread you mention is useless.. But this will be useful since it will take no more than some weeks to see the update. So this thread can be opened right now, since I give info and instructions to capture an OTA to share with everybody when it is available... And I'll put my OTA for Arg retail Moto G here..

This is not just a placeholder, since I give instructions to capture the OTAs when they come up.. To anyone who wants to help with this database I give that instructions with some time before the OTAs roll out.
There is already a thread for Motorola Firmware Images. Please keep this thread OTA Updates only, and reword the OP to reflect this.
Cool..! This will have good database of Android L OTA's for all variants and easier to grab them once available in a single thread. But please make sure you update the OP as soon as someone shares in posts :good:
I think you can even add Variant names in advance at OP like XT1033 , XT1032 so on.
"Official" ? OP work for Motorola?
If not then its a community effort which is better than Official in my view

Thanks for this, helped me capture my 5.1 OTA update
actually I have found a way to capture the OTA without root,
step 1. download the OTA but dont install it..
step 2. power off the device and boot into bootloader mode
step 3. flash custom recovery like twrp 2.8.6.0 (fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery.img)
step 4. boot into the custom recovery, go to the file manager and go the /cache/ folder
step 5. copy the update file from the cache folder, and paste into the main sdcard root area
step 6. connect the phone to the computer via usb cable while in recovery mode
step 7. copy the update file to the computer.
now to install the update, just reboot back into bootloader mode, flash the stock recovery back with fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
step 8. enter stock recovery mode (to show options - hold power and volume up for 3 seconds)
step 9. apply update from sdcard (you will see the update file still there - Blur_Version.XX.zip)
This works, I have tried this 3 times before on 5.0.2 firmware.

Thanks for that, for ages I didn't know how to get the recovery options!
This is guide is how l am solved this error on my HTC Desire 816 Dual CID HTC_622 but l think this gonna work for most users with unlocked bootloader
IMPORTANT NOTICE:EVERYTHING I WROTE HERE I DONE ON MY PHONE.I AM NOT GONNA BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE GET BRICKED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
1: Make sure you have Lollipop update available for your phone
2: Download update to your phone,update will be placed in Download folder in your phone internal storage.
3: Extract OTA update file on your pc.Open it with WinRar or some other zip\rar extract program.Find file firmware.zip inside and extract it to your pc.How again open file firmware.zip and inside look for recovery.img file and extract it too to your pc
4: How you need to flash extracted recovery.img file via fastboot.Boot phone in bootloader mode and flash new recovery.
5: Relock your bootloader.
6:Reboot your phone now.Again download update for your phone,and try to flash OTA update again:fingers-crossed:

Thank you for your useful tips.
I will try and feedback soon.
Thanks a lot! It worked for me
Note that you don't have to relock the bootloader, it worked with it unlocked.
Also I heard it is recommended to wipe dalvik cache and cache partition after update.
There are two rules about which recovery you can use:
1) You must use the recovery for your exact model! It must also be from the same region! (recovery for A5_DUG Europe won't work for you if you have A5_DUG Asia_HK, or A5_UL any, etc.)
2) You must use the recovery from the version you are currently at OR the one you are updating to! (the recovery from 1.56.708.2 won't work if you are updating from 1.57.708.1 to 2.34.708.1, etc.)

Thanks a lot! It worked for me
Note that you don't have to relock the bootloader, it worked with it unlocked.

This is guide is how l am solved this error on my HTC Desire 816 Dual CID HTC_622 but l think this gonna work for most users with unlocked bootloader
IMPORTANT NOTICE:EVERYTHING I WROTE HERE I DONE ON MY PHONE.I AM NOT GONNA BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE GET BRICKED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
1: Make sure you have Lollipop update available for your phone
2: Download update to your phone,update will be placed in Download folder in your phone internal storage.
3: Extract OTA update file on your pc.Open it with WinRar or some other zip\rar extract program.Find file firmware.zip inside and extract it to your pc.How again open file firmware.zip and inside look for recovery.img file and extract it too to your pc
4: How you need to flash extracted recovery.img file via fastboot.Boot phone in bootloader mode and flash new recovery.
5: Relock your bootloader.
6:Reboot your phone now.Again download update for your phone,and try to flash OTA update again:fingers-crossed:

I got the same error on my A5-UL when updating the OTA. Tried installing Google Books, but the same error happens.

I had a very similar error.
my guess is, because my phone is unlocked and modified using Link2SD and Xposed, there have been changes to the system. so It might be a good idea to flash an untouched 4.4.42 nandroid before trying to update.
That's what I did and I could update without a problem
Stock recovery ?

you copy that recovery.img file to the folder where you keep your ADB/Fastboot files. then you reboot to bootloader and put your device in fastboot mode. then open a command prompt in your fastboot folder on your computer and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

the error is because you had modified your old Rom(i,e, definitely uninstalled things from system) so it fails system check. you can find clean unchanged nandroid backups of 1.58.401 on XDA
:good:
