IMPORTANT Announcement & Highlights

Latest batch of Moto G (XT1033) that you purchase from local channels doesn't come with FREE Screen Protector (worth RM18) and the UV coating of M logo behind the Back Shell (Black) is in White instead of Black.

The Android KitKat 4.4.2 OTA is ready out of the box if you purchase the local version of Moto G (XT1033), so make sure you do check the update button. If you don't receive any OTA from the Motorola, we have alternative solution to get you update just right below the post along with the guide to helping you out.

If there are any important things that you think I have missed out in any of the sections; or anything that might be useful to be added to the thread, feel free to drop me a PM or ping me with the NightFelix notification.

NO OTA? Don't worry. Can Force/Manual Update. (Whatever you like to call)
NO need Unlocked/Rooted, BUT MUST BE on Stock Recovery and Stock ROM.

Download the OTA files here:Steps:
CODE
Step 1: Download it and place it in your SD CARD
Step 2: Restart your Phone, it will now prompt your for a update, Click on update!
Step 3: If step 2 didnt work, switch off your phone
Step 4: Press Volume Down (Press this first) and Power Button for 3 to 5 seconds
Step 5: Navigate to Recovery..
Step 6: Select update from SDCARD option
Step 7: Select .Zip which you downloaded and place in your phone
Step 8: Sit back and relax it takes 5 to 10 mins to update
Step 9: Restart your phone.. You have got Kitkat!! Enjoy.

Hi Moto G lovers! Just want to warn all those who use the beautiful phone naked, the back shell case is easily scratched by anything sharp. Once scratched, you can see the soft-touch coating come off revealing the plastic inside. Sadly, it happened when I put my phone along with my camera >.<"

On naked 4 a month since I bought it,drop twice on road,gt some scratch on da black frame(body) bt nt da cover,screen no prob,so its quite durable,no worries.
Take it daily 2 ma bathroom 2 boom muzik,has some water spilled on it,no prob.
Anyway ma covers coming,might let it free fr naked soon huehue
