I got OTA for Lollipop 5.0 this morning. Unfortunately, it requires restart to install the updates. My moto g has this cannot-restart problem for long time since root. I have to use the "fastboot mode->normal start" technique to get it start properly. No luck at all, it stuck while it was restarting. Surprisingly, after using the old method, it would power-off again automatically. I assume the OTA may write something to the system to force the updates.
It seems that there's no other way to get the phone working. I HAVE TO flash the stock rom to make it right. Here we go!
It's good to know that the Motorola Device Manager I installed on my PC is working. I can go to the fastbook mode to check the current version which is KXB21.14.L1.40_31 falcon_vfgbsl VODAFONESL-GB 4.4.4. By browsing the internet for a while, I managed to get this rom and the mfastboot.exe(NOTE: it's no the adb's fastboot.exe. It's a special executable from Motorola). Then input the following commands one after another and make sure to get a OKAY after each step.
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img mfastboot flash logo logo.bin mfastboot flash boot boot.img mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1 mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2 mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3 mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin mfastboot erase modemst1 mfastboot erase modemst2 mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn mfastboot erase cache mfastboot erase userdata mfastboot reboot
NOTE: after reboot, it'll show a GREEN robot with RED exclamation mark on its tummy. DO NOTHING here except waiting! The phone will restart after about 2 minutes. You're on the stock rom now.
After flashing back to stock rom, it'll get the OTA again. By following the on screen instruction, you'll get Lollipop 5.0 updates. It's now on 220.27.1.en.GB with:
system version: 220.27.1.falcon_umts_VodafoneSL.en.GB
LXB22.46.28.1 (build number)
