Computerfreek274 Stock Android KK 4.4.4 ROM​
This is a flashable ROM with twrp. I will not be updating or supporting this ROM.​
Please Read: If somehow this ROM or any of it's software kills your phone I am in no way to be help responsible for it or any data loss backup your data.
Based on the last STOCK .4.4.4 There was before lollipop.
Tether/Hotspot
Root
Deodexed
No Bloatware
No Tweaks or any other mods have been done.
Download Here
You must update/Downgrade radio.
fastboot flash radio radio.img or you can go to install under twrp and switch it to .img and flash the radio.img that way.​Download Radio.img here​
Please remember I will not support or help in anyway with this ROM me and my son just putting it out there in case someone like to play around with a KK ROM that is deodexed and can be themed. This ROM has been tested and it boots up with no boot animation. Also after it boots you will get a msg that Motorola software will ask you to to downgrade sensor firmware will be removed/Downgraded.
I will keep this forum open for users to use. I may pop in from time to time. Please remember no PM's about this ROM I will not give support for this ROM I am way to busy to give support for this.
​

Tried flashing this last night. went fine, but WiFi will not stay on. 4g works fine though. It turns on, but right back off. If I remember correctly this is something with radio, since I am downgrading? Google didn't have any answers that I could find. Anyone care to chime in?

Yeah sorry I forgot you do need to downgrade radio. I think firstEncounter had and still may have his radios for KK up. If not I will try and get a KK radio .img pack up soon.

Have been looking through his threads, but I couldn't find the radios for KK. Entirely possible I looked at them and didn't see them however.

No need to apologize. Is it as simple as flash rom then fastboot KK radio image (or possibly Flashify)?

Twrp under install you can switch it from zip to img and flash .img also.

Having trouble finding the KK modem. Would downloading stock KK firmware from Motorola then extracting the modem be something you would suggest? If KK firmware is still available. Just prefer the looks of KK over LP.

I updated OP I put the radio.img up for downloads. I tested this last night and seems to be working just fine.
Give it five more minutes to upload.

Which one has the best battery life in
kitkat rom Or LP rom ??

I found what was labeled as Droid Turbo stock KK firmware the other day online. I flashed your KK ROM and I extracted the radio.img from the KK firmware I downloaded and flashed it using Flashify. Decided to reboot before I checked WiFi and all I had was bootloader when it rebooted. Had to unbrick and start over. Been away from home and my laptop for the holidays so I will give your method a go when I get home. Thanks.

I tried to flash radio.img in TWRP and I get the option "boot" or "recovery". Both of which fail to flash. So not sure what to do.

[REPACK][UNLOCKED BL] Android 4.4.2 For Moto G(All variants)

Hello, i ported 4.4 OTA to all variants and now i'm going to post here the link and some things.
First of all, there is a little bug when enter to Settings/Security, but i'm going to fix it now, this is for impatients.
Features: All 4.4.2 OTA ported.
Fully RADIO support(No modem blobs changes)
Direct from Motorola OTA.
Download link: http://d-h.st/aHg
Installation:
FLASH CWM
WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
FLASH ROM
FLASH SU(Can be downloaded from koush website)
WIPE DALVIK.
ENJOY!
THANKS: Antiquezip for his OTA package
I'll add screenshots and more things to the post later, but now, enjoy all KK features!
So seeing as those of us who installed the original OTA can't flash a custom recovery, would we be able to downgrade back to 4.3 then flash CWM and then flash this zip? Will this also work with the US GSM AWS version is basically what I'm asking? I know you were working on getting this to the Global GSM version.
@josalaito you should credit antiquezip.

Well. I know it says in the title "All variants". Guess I could just flash and find out. Downgrading was no problem. I gave it a shot just to make sure and it worked without a hitch. Was then able to re-flash the original OTA no problem.
Do we really need to wipe data if we come from stock 4.3 to 4.4.2?

Flashing it right now. In the process of setting it up.
Edit: Working good for now. Confirmed WiFi does not work. And "Settings" does FC when you attempt to enter "Security", but that was stated in the OP. Root is working. I flashed SuperSU after flashing the ROM and Xposed works perfectly. Please be aware that I am using a US GSM version. So if anyone coming here is looking for confirmation on this working for a Global GSM or other device outside of the US, I cannot confirm that.
OK, keymaster is added by motorola to firmware folder and i don't added to the rom, so this is the cause of the bugs.

Here you have the workaround.
Flash without wipes, and should fix the problems.

The rom is suitable for 8gb and 16 gb both?
What about dual sim models?

Flashing problems

OK guys let me tell you about my issue's
I'm using TWRP 2.7.1.0 (Tried 2.7.0.2 no difference) S-off, Unlocked, latest firmware from Santods files. The phone works fine with Sense ROMS but for the life of me I can't flash a GPE ROM. They fail every time. Santod tried to help me out the best he could by having me replace the Boot.img from the ROM I was flashing thinking that I was on a secure Boot image (And I may be but I replaced it and they still won't flash). Mr. Jaydee82 also modified a ROM for me to try out (although I'm not sure exactly what he did to it) and it wouldn't Flash properly either. When I try to flash these ROMs it will appear to flash properly and then they will go to the bootscreen and just sit there and churn. Depending on the ROM some will time out and power down the device and some will just sit there forever until I do a virtual battery pull. I'm freaking desperate to find out what is going on with this device and I don't feel right bugging Santod so I decided to post this in hope of more ideas about what could possibly be going on with my device. Any and all help greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!

I used Firewater I'm able to Flash all of the Sense ROM's not sure if they are considered AOSP. Give me an example of one and I'll try it. I'm not 100% sure if I took the OTA update before I Rooted and S-offed/unlocked the device but I think I did. I Flashed Santods Nobootimg firmware via ADB to be sure I was on the latest firmware. I know my radios were up to date before doing this but I wasn't sure about the FW so I flashed it. Flashed fine, didn't need to flush again, flashed fine first time.

I really appreciate your help. Santod and me went back and forth via PM a few times and JayDee modified his Rom for me and now you. IDK....I'm dumbfounded. If you think of anything let me know. I'll just stay on AOSP for now. Always liked Cyanogen's stuff anyway, just never even thought about them since their ROMS are not in the forums. They used to be for my various other phones. Never really though about them not being on XDA until we did this just now. Thanks again for you time and help!!!

Yeah cm11 is what I'm currently using, it recently had a speakerphone issue but its been fixed since 7/30. The only AOSP ROMs that have incorporated the fix are cm11, liquidsmooth & aokp. Here is the section for all the aosp ROMs they are universal so means 1 zip for all HTC One M8 variants.

How do i flash radios on nexus 5

So ill try to make this short and sweet but i need help. since 4.4.4 i really noticed bad signal issues and with a speed test my ping is 160 making online gaming really bad. ( its the only connection i have where i live to play online before 4.4.4 it was fine ping was like 70ms)
So i figured out the to get the radios say from 4.4.2 i would download the rom from https://developers.google.com/androi...s/images?hl=de
extract the file and the radio file is inside right. now how do i flash it. using Android SDK is there a tutorial or video somewhere. And can i use the roms from that site on a canadian nexus 5 my 4.4.4 build number matches the one on the site so im guessing yes.

From start to finish, skip over what you've already done.
1. Unlock your bootloader.
2. Root.
3. Install custom recovery using fastboot,
Google TWRP Hammerhead and the site for the recovery image and instructions will show up.
4. Have the modems downloaded, search for the thread here in Nexus 5 forum.
5. Go to Install .zip in TWRP recovery and flash the respective modems.
Protip : look up how to make an EFS backup just in case you somehow manage to corrupt your IMEI.

Which without root is impossible unless the OTA comes through and its dependant on the country you're in. You could flash the 4.4.4r2 stock image using fastboot.

You don't need to be rooted persay to flash a modem, just a custom recovery. It just makes things easier. If you're going to unlock for sure, rooting makes things easier even though you don't REQUIRE it.
Best of luck and let us know how it all goes.
Why not extract the radio from the Android image and flash it via fastboot? That doesn't require root, only the phone to be unlocked.

OP decided to create more (mostly useless) threads in one day than I ever have on my account lol..

after firmware update + flash update ROM -> stuck in HBOOT

Edit: FIXED
I downloaded the stock rooted 4.4.4 ROM and pulled the stock kernel out of it. Flashed the stock boot.img in fastboot and ALL GOOD.
Problem = phone cannot boot into ROM, cannot boot into recovery. Only HBOOT.
Was on a 4.4.3 ROM.
Got Verizon's OTA toast message today regarding 4.4.4 update available.
Cancelled that.
Hit up XDA to get latest Verizon firmware.
Downloaded latest firmware, flashed it.
Fine.
Downloaded 4.4.4 ROM.
Checked MD5 sum.
Into recovery.
Made nandroid backup/
Flashed ROM.
No errors.
Reboot? PHONE WILL ONLY BOOT INTO HBOOT.
Tried these fixes:

Im assuming you just flashed the firmware and didnt take the entire update correct?

I don't know what to do. Feeling stupid, but don't know why this is messed up.

Not yet. I've never done that before actually, so I was hoping to find a solution that didn't involve doing something new. I read the thread but I'm not familiar with the process so didn't want to risk making new problems... you know?
So... fixed!
I downloaded the stock rooted 4.4.4 ROM ad pulled the stock kernel out of it.
Flashed the stock boot.img in fastboot and ALL GOOD.
Thanks for your help, bud. Cheers.

Didn't hurt, and I really appreciate the help. Sometimes people get so self-centered they won't bother to try to help anyone. Thanks for your time. Have a good one.
You too
I think I read yesterday that you were on viper rom 2.5 and upgraded to 3.whatever. The viper thread in the vzw forum is asking people to wait for them to release the next update to include vzw files from this ota. I feel it's worth pointing out in case other people run into problems, sees this thread, and immediately start bugging them in their thread.

Can i go back to cm11s this way?

Hi! My question is lame, i know.. But here it goes anyway, i couldn't find a simple and direct answer..
Is less than a week that i have this phone, and i've been reading a lot of guides of how to rollback to cm11s.. the thing is i've flashed the latest CM12S signed zip ota through CM Recovery, everything is fine as i'm testing it right now..
My question is: if i want to go back to CM11S (in the case that i don't like CM12S or have some bugs), can i just wipe data / factory reset and cache in CM Recovery, and then flash the cm11s signed zip?
I haven't rooted or unlocked bootloader, is it relatively easy from what i read around here.. but i wondered if i had to go through all those steps (unlock bootloader, custom recovery, and then flash) or just doing the steps mentioned before will work just fine..
Is it better to fastboot flash or through custom recovery is fine also?
Thanks in advance!
PD: I'm also asking what do you think about some other 5.1.1 Lollipop ROM, custom kernel, etc.. I'm kind of a flashaholic and i would be able to install the custom recovery if would be really worth it
PD2: sorry for the bad english, i'm from argentina

Just unlock your bootloader now, the longer you leave it the more difficult it'll be to backup your internal storage beforehand. You should really have it unlocked anyway as insurance against anything going wrong with your phone. Once you have unlocked it you can flash TWRP recovery, then the correct procedure to go back to CM11S would be to perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) and then just flash the zip. As far as custom ROMs for this device go, there are many excellent options to choose from that offer extra customisation that you won't find on the stock ROM.
Don't we have to flash the firmware prior to flashing back to CM11s to prevent a hardbrick? I'm looking into doing this as well, so I'm just asking for my own clarity.

The firmware is contained in the official zip.

Thanks! Stupid question, but can you please link me to the official zip? I already have TWRP installed, so it would be nice to revert sooner than later.

Thanks!
Thank you both, i believe that this week i'll have some time and unlock the bootloader and flashing the TWRP recovery right away.. Then i'll see which ROM suits my use (i'm looking to battery friendly and high screen on time, will see the forums accordingly) and start the journey on this beautiful and well supported device
Also, thanks for the clarification of the modems.. Will be looking after that and make sure not to miss that step if required :good:

Once you've flashed the ROM, please do share your results. I am still unsure if reverting from a Lollipop ROM to CM11S will cause issues with the radio and/or a softbrick of the device, as I've read that this "can" happen.

Reverting from Lollipop to KitKat won't brick your device, whoever said that is wrong, and would have caused a brick because they didn't know what they were doing. You do need to make sure you flash a KitKat modem though, otherwise you'll have issues with the prox sensor.

Thanks Timaaa...last question, I'm downloading the latest modem from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-stock-rooted-xnph05q-t3027033.
Is this the correct flashable modem file to use, or do you recommend another for XNPH05Q?
