Phone (XT1053; GSM, Developer Edition; Rooted) kept insisting that I install the update, install kept crapping out. "Status 7", "ro.build.product", etc. etc. Tried updating recovery, tried switching from philz to cwm to twrp to stock. No go.

Any who...unzipped the OTA zip file (Blur_Version.161.44.25.ghost_row.Retail.en.US.zip) and grepped for "ro.build.product".

Found the updater-script file META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and deleted some lines in vi:

Code: 
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "system", "/system");
[B]file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "motorola/ghost_retail/ghost:4.4.2/KXA20.16-1.25/31:user/release-keys" ||
    file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "motorola/ghost_retail/ghost:4.4.3/KXA21.12-L1.21/23:user/release-keys" ||

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "ghost" ||
       getprop("ro.build.product") == "ghost" ||
       getprop("ro.product.device") == "ghost" ||
       getprop("ro.build.product") == "ghost");
ui_print("Verifying current system...");

set_progress(0.002483);

set_progress(0.002591);

deleted lines in bold, re-zipped, adb sideloaded, voila.

Don't post here often..forgive if it's a well known, easy workaround. Hopefully it's helpful to someone.

Found a bunch of related issues with nexus devices (e.g.,androidhackz.blogspot.com/2013/11/android-44-ota-update-gives-status-7.html) and the one I found for Moto X suggested Odin flash...thought I'd poke around, find, and tinker with the update script instead. Thank goodness it worked.

Were you fully stock before the update?

Mostly stock. I was using the stock 4.4.2 - only changes: unlocked, custom recovery, rooted...aside from that, I had converted Cerberus to a system app via (Titanium Backup). While trying to get the update to take, I undid everything except re-locked the phone.
