Internal memory, which is 16Gb, if you check, isn't 16Gb, because a portion of it is reserved. Part is reserved as a space for the normal operating system and apps to store their cache/etc. Part is reserved as space to hold a compressed image of the original os/apps from which to recover from??

Sorry it took this long.
/system/etc/
Jeez! There's like 40 files in there, but there is a wifi folder and a wifi.conf file.
Wifi folder has like 50 files, and the wpa_supplicant.conf file.
This file comparison is not the way to go. What rom are you using? Can you reflash that?

Im on stock vzw rom.

Have you considered flashing a new rom? It will replace any missing files or folders.
It isn't very hard to do, just a few people mess up the steps. Look in the development section and see if there are verizon roms, or verizon stock.
Otherwise, if you post your file list I will compare with mine, but that is a huge amount of work.

I have been considering on doing that but I haven't found any vzw stock roms, the only one I've seen around is the k-lean rom.
In essence if I have flash a stock rom I get everything back in place?
If you happen to see any vzw stock roms around please link me. I've searched around but they all seem to be down.

Maybe a wipe+flash your rom will solve the problem.. Have you tried that?
Why you changed that file? You should never do something like that unless you know what you are doing.. always keep a nandroid backup just in case..

Never edit system files unless you know what you are doing.... Wipe system clean and install rom over...alternatively download app called softkeys/ button savior root to enable on screen softkeys

New Kitkat build (176.44.1) Fixes in otg support and radio.

A spanish htcmania user with a german Moto G has received a new OTA (176.44.1.falcon-umts.retail.en.de), apparently it fixes otg, and pendrives can be used as they were in 4.3, with regular file managers.
Thanks to basurado for his image.
Changelog:
Fixed temporary cellular network loss
Fixed an issue which could lead to temporary loss of cellular network service for a small number of Moto G customers.
Fixed wallpaper cropping issue
Fixed an issue which could cause the home screen wallpaper on some devices to be cropped after rebooting the phone.
Resolved USB OTG support issue
Resolved a USB On The Go support issue that prevented Moto G from writing data to a connected USB storage device.
Fixed voice call volume issue
Fixed an issue where the volume of voice calls heard through the device earpiece could gradually become too low.

No, it´s too late. But he could re-flash
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=14&file=811
and when OTA notification comes again he could refuse to install it and then look into /cache for the zip.

The exact procedure?

Here is a link to my gdrive, where i've uploaded the New ota update. I know the filename is wrong, but this is the ZIP my moto g downloaded for 176.44 ota update german moto g.
Cannot apply it, because i don't have the original kernel and recovery.

Can you please check if unmounting works good? There's an option under Settings/Storage but using it always results in a persistent notification saying something like 'USB storage removed. Please insert new media'. Unplugging the USB drive without unmounting results in an error too!

Hmm...Well my XT1033(maybe they have different patches for different devices) with ES File Explorer shows an error.
I would check with Total File Commander and see if it exists. Meanwhile can you say how your USB drive is formatted ? I mean the file system ?

So the problem does exist in all variants. I was reading through Moto X forums earlier and it has the same bug too

Here´s another new thing, new values were added. Personally I´m glad that
there´s now 0,25x option because it solves the problem with dialer and 0,5x was too much for me.
Edit: sorry, missed Gravitybox silent tweak.

Just bumping this up.
Edit: @cesc1972
Just thought you might want to edit the title of your post to something more specific - add date or system version, because I feel it didn´t get as much attention as it deserves.
Also, besides the OTG fix there´s seems to be an improvement in radio, which was brought to attention by @lost101 in his thread:

How to install that update via the Option Systemupdate without root and cwm? Whats the Name of the File and the right folder to move the file to force the update?
ps: I copied the zip into the root folder of sdcard, made a reboot and searched for New update. Unfortunately nothing was found. From 4.3 to 4.4.2 that procedure worked fine.

USB works with fat32 system only. No NTFS support
If you connect NTFS pendrive it will ask for format.

Go to recovery and try "update from sdcard" and it should do I guess.

I mean if you don´t use any transition effects (I always diasable them, no reason to deliberately slow down the UI), the dialer or phone app behaves like this: when you start it (and it wasn´t already running in the background), what you see by default are the contacts. If you tap dialpad icon on the bottom, dialpad won´t start just the icon disappears and you have to tap two more times to show the dialpad. You can remove this behaviour when you set transition effects to something more than 0x. On previous builds, minimal value was 0,5x which was far too much for me. Now with this new patch there is 0,25x option as well which is acceptable. But the dialpad bug is still there when you turn transitions off.

Yep, that´s right, now it won´t work if you just put in sdcard and reboot. You have to go to recovery (stock one of course).

i would not doubt it
i dont know the change log
but i have seen two users report the 13.2.2.2 update
it could not be anything more than to mess up the work around that people have been getting away with by updating the build.prop
because when i try to change the build.prop to 14.3.2.2_user_322095220 in all the right places and try to save it the way i did before using root explorer it saves as 0 kb and is blank when i look at it.so i delete it and change the build.prop.bak file that is created when changing the build.prop back to build.prop because i am afraid to reboot with the blank one in fear of a brick

Google "hdx 8.9 download"

What Changed?
Wonder what changed... the recovery, kernel(s) and system apps all appear to be the same. There must be some critical bugs that had to be urgently patched with this latest update coming so quick on the tail of the 13.3.2.1 update.
[Edit]Upon closer inspection, looks like there are some noticeable changes in the following apps:
WhisperlinkSdk.apk
WhisperplayActivityView.apk
WhisperplayCDSSettings.apk
WhisperplayCore.apk
WhisperplayQCSource.apk
com.amazon.communication.apk
com.amazon.tcomm.apk

I've updated 13.3.2.2, somehow opened when the machine is updated immediately so!!

I wonder if it would be possible to insert the SU binaries in this new update and then manually install it without breaking the signature

I just did a manual "Check Update" on my HDX 7 and it said no new updates, but only has 13.3.2.1.
I did sniff the traffic from the Kindle during this check and found that it contacted "softwareupdates.amazon.com" - which I now blocked in my router for what its worth.
Captured packets attached just in case they're useful.

Well crap. Blocking the server as above on my home LAN did stop the update from ever happening but I forgot to turn WiFi off at School and what do you know, 13.2.2 snuck right on in in a matter of minutes

Couple questions...
1. Once I stay out of the Stock rom it shouldn't update. Am I right on that?
2. If I have a rom slot with Fire OS loaded to it and in use. Can I turn on wifi and it not update?
3. I have the AOSP rom in as lot. Can I turn on wifi in this without fear of update?

install safestrap on both stock and rom slot one
so it will not be able to fully update it will bootloop back to safestrap according to GSLEON3

Update the hosts file on the kindle to point to localhost(127.0.0.1) or something. That might, or might not offer some help on WiFi you don't control. You'll need to still have root to do this of course.

If you tried reinstalling it and it doesn't work still...
1. Try a stock reflash and try again.
2. If it still doesn't work, mail the developer and ask them.

how can do stock reflash

3. Put the file you downloaded from Sammobile into Odin's AP slot after making sure you put your phone in Download Mode (Power off your phone. Hold down power, volume down, home. Then click Volume down to continue.
4. Click Start.
This will bring you back to stock. If this doesn't work for your games, you will have to contact the developer.

I don't think it's a firmware related issue.
Did you download it from the store or some other sources?
If you got it from other sources, make sure your copied the obb file correctly to the obb directory.
Also please do have an active internet connection as games like this tend to check if the files you have are complete, at least once.

But did you install it correctly? Moving it correctly is not 100% effective as well as I have experienced it. Lol.
Anyways, did you do these?:
1. Install apk. Don't open game.

3. Launch game with internet connection.
