I have read the threads on the latest OTA update for the Pure Edition and I am confused on how to proceed. I am running System Version 22.11.6 Build Number LXE22.39.-6 and have got an OTA for 22.21.11.en.US, but it has failed of course. I am rooted with CF-Auto Root, the version from the middle of November, and have stock recovery.
What I am seeking to do is update to 22.21.11.en.US and not lose my apps or data.
What is the correct procedure for updating? Thanks Guys!!
I was on the first soak test build for lollipop and when the .6 build came out (the one that your on) I couldn't update unless I downgraded to 4.4.4 then re upgraded to lollipop OTA but it took a day for the OTA to show on my phone .....im pretty sure you have to do the same from .6 to .11 so https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images follow the steps on Motorola's website here really simple process just a few commands, but it will wipe your device
Since you're rooted, just run Titanium backup, return to 4.4.4, then apply .6 update and .11 update. (The .11 we have so far is only a delta from .6 -- not the full OTA)
edit: Apparently the full kitkat->lollipop .11 OTA is out there... hooray!
Do not use the instructions on Motorola factory images website
That website is missing a subtle command, that will make your OTA fail. I had that problem.
This line is missing.
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
The OTA checks for the integrity of the modem and fails otherwise.

You can try ADB backup for backing up all your apps and restore after OTA. This way the restore process works even after unrooting.

I was rooted on .6 and had to go to 4.4.4. I received the OTA to .11. It was a 576 MB or so update. So there are 2 update OTA depending on what version you are running.

Ok. I have a few questions and requests.
First, this would be my first downgrade I have ever done, do I have to relock the bootloader and/or unroot first?
Second, what are the exact steps and commands in order to downgrade. I know you said they are Motorola's website, but just to be safe, and with the modem command added in, I would feel much better and be appreciative if someone provided that for me.
Third, I am on the US pure edition, which version of 4.4.4. would I need to download from Motorola's website? I've forgotten which version it came with.
Fourth, I was never a soak tester and I am on .6. Why can't I do a direct upgrade to .11 such as what is discussed here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/ota-pure-edition-lollipop-5-0-t2932625
Another Approach?
And what about this approach to upgrading from .6. to .11? Could this work?

For whatever reason you can never have been rooted to update your ROM. So i followed the steps below to get back to stock for the update.
Go to http://www.graffixnyc.com/motox.php and grab the 4.4.4 stock image. Extract and place in platforms-tools folder with fastboot.
After downloading the image for your device:
Put your device in fastboot mode.
NOTE: You must use the Motorola fastboot utility to flash (included in the Darwin/, Linux/ or Windows/ directory). Please do NOT use the Android fastboot utility
Follow the flashing steps in the .xml file that was included in the package.
A typical flashing sequence includes all these partitions, but might vary depending on your product - so please use the sequence in the .xml file in your package:
$ fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
$ fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
$ fastboot reboot-bootloader
$ fastboot flash logo logo.bin
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
$ fastboot flash system system.img
$ fastboot erase modemst1
$ fastboot erase modemst2
$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
$ fastboot reboot
You also have the option to erase all the data on your device with
$ fastboot erase userdata
$ fastboot erase cache
Hope this helps. Copied and pasted the commands from Motorola.

@Matthewlawson3
you can't downgrade the bootloader so omit that step. it won't make the OTA fail.
i'd recommend erasing userdata and cache.
once you do this, you should get the official full OTA that you can check for in the settings menu and apply. good luck.

So motoboot.img is the bootloader? That is the command you don't want me to enter?
I need to type in all the commands in that exact sequence, correct? Where does one enter the fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin in the sequence of commands?
I would prefer not to lose my apps and data if it can be avoided. I do have Titanium Backup and could if need be, but what are the downsides to not erasing usercache and cache?
Thanks for your help on this!!!
Motorola Fastboot
I've never used the Motorola Fastboot utility. How does one acquire it and how do you set it up? I've only use the Android fastboot in the platform-tools folder.
Also, which build of 4.4.4. do I choose from on graffinxnyc's website? 4.4.4 Build: KXE21.187-42 Full Restore Images?

I have got the image for 4.4.4 (TMO_21.21.42.victara_tmo.tmo.en.US) from Motorola for the US Pure Edition, through the request process. Can I run these commands using regular fastboot from the android SDK platform-tools folder or must I use fastboot found in the Motorola 4.4.4 image? If I must use Motorola fastboot, what is the process for getting that setup before I go into a command prompt and enter the commands?
If I use the Motorola fastboot can I just copy the needed files into the Windows folder found in the Motorola image folder and then open a command prompt there to enter the commands? Is it that easy? I do not have a mfastboot file in the Windows folder in the image.

After doing some research, I have placed the fastboot.exe from the Motorola image in the Android-SDK platform-tools folder, but before I placed it in there, I renamed it mfastboot.exe, so as not to clash with the android fastboot.exe. When I type in the command prompt "mfastboot," I get a list of commands. Does this indicate everything is working correctly? And if so, when I type in the commands to perform the downgrade will I type in "mfastboot" instead of "fastboot" with every command?

Ok. Thanks! One last question regarding the commands. After I flash partition gpt.bin, I am suppose to reboot from fastboot back to fastboot (reboot-bootloader) before continuing the commands..correct?
Hello everyone,
i have a XT1092. I am rooted. I heard that I would not be receiving the OTA or getting it to work if I have a custom recovery installed. That is apparently correct as I had a small 12mb update today and I have not been able to flash it . The phone got stuck in a boot loop. Anyways, I am out of the loop now and all is good. I just want to know how do i revert to stock recovery? I am on stock room but the phone is rooted with twrp installed. So do I just need to flash the stock recovery image, if yes then how? or do i need to flash the stock rom all over again, again if yes then please guide me with the same.
Also, can I flash XT1095 images on my device?
Thank you

I do have the exact same problem. I had to do a fullwipe to get out of the bootloop.
PLS help us out guys! I also need to get the stock recovery back for upcoming updates.
This is what i did to take the 12 mb update
Just flash these commands in fastboot
$ fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
$ fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
$ fastboot reboot-bootloader
$ fastboot flash logo logo.bin
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5

$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
$ fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
$ fastboot erase modemst1
$ fastboot erase modemst2
$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
$ fastboot reboot
You also have the option to erase all the data on your device with
$ fastboot erase userdata
$ fastboot erase cache
Just make sure that you type each command one by one
if you update to xt1095 you have to be careful when u downgrade, u might brick your device
While downgrading dont flash the below 3 commands
$ fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
$ fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
$ fastboot reboot-bootloader

awesome. also what if i flash xt1095's image? would that be any beneficial? I guess itll help me get quicker updates. No?
there is a thread where it helps people who want to convert their xt1092 to xt1095.
But be careful when to change to xt1095 you have to backup your radio, since xt 1095 has different radio to ours.
There have been some people complaining about bricking their device while downgrading
Please check and only do it if your really comfortable with flashing

Motorola has the blankflash files, we do not have them. They WILL NOT release them. They never have released blankflash files nor will they ever do it in the future. We may get it someday only if it leaks.

Got my N6 from the Amazon sale. As the LMY48M factory image has just been posted, I want to make sure I do this right and not lose my data/settings since it's my first time.
Phone is XT1103. Unlocked 64 gig (non carrier/branded) but using a VZW Sim. Bootloader unlocked, rooted but still encrypted. Running TWRP-2.8.7.1. On LMY48I currently.
Are these the only commands I need to execute to update but not lose the data/settings (actual IMG file names taken from the 48M image)?
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.10.img
fastboot flash radio radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.101.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Am I missing anything? I believe after I do this I will have lost root but I'll use CF-Root to get it back.
Thanks
EDIT: Forgot to mention I did find other instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008) that said to also flash boot, recovery and cache in addition to what I already listed. Is that necessary? Do I have to overwrite TWRP only to reflash it later?
THUS, should these be my instructions?

you will only have root after flashing twrp recovery in fastboot, then flash the latest supersu in twrp recovery. what you are doung is flashing a factory image, has nothing to do with getting root.
---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------
to root..
1. unlock your bootloader with fastboot
2. fastboot flash twrp recovery
3. flash the latest supersu in twrp recovery
4. reboot, with root.
---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------
and im stupid, you wrote you believe youll lose root, and you will. but it will take just a few minutes to get it back.

Go into Settings, About Phone, tap Build Number 7 times, then go back one screen to Developer Options, enable Allow Bootloader Unlock, and USB Debugging.
Boot into Bootloader Mode and try:
fastboot oem unlock
That may not work on your phone.
Try to get the unlock code from Motorola:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
If you are able to unlock the bootloader, you have two choices: you can flash the 6.0 stock firmware from another variant, or you can flash a MarshMallow ROM, such as CyanogenMod.

Your bootloader is locked. To unlock it you need to use kingroot, then sunshine to unlock it. After that you can flash a marshmallow rom.

Dear sir,
I have Verizon xt 1096 and want to install Android 6.0 from other variants like xt 1092 from stock firmwares which links that you provided above. I will unlock my bootloader.
You please guide me how I can install using fastboot on my windows PC. I don't care about CDMA, it should work on GSM networks 2G and UMTS 3G and LTE because now I am in UAE and not using Verizon.
I need marshmallow 6.0. ... and I don't want to install custom recovery, ROM or root it, if it not necessary for upgrade process.
I will be very thankful to you.
Sorry I forgotten to mention, now I am on stock 5.1
Please also post some commands for fastboot. Thanks

Great sir, I followed your instructions and I successfully upgraded my moto x2 xt 1096 (5.1) to official 6.0 xt1092 without any trouble or changing my recovery or any thing else. Thanks for your help.
one thing is when I restart my device one warning screen appear like (your device's bootloader is unlocked and some more cautions) and moto boot animation is changed. Is it possible to get rid from these by simply re locking bootloader by fastboot command....... "fastboot oem lock"
Or after changing firmware it's not possible to re lock it simply myself or any other code is required.
And one more question can i later install other update like 6.0.1 if it is available in same way or will you upload any future updated firmware in same location MEGA from where I downloaded earlier.
And will I get any future OTA from Motorola i.e. 6.0.1 or higher and should I install that OTA if arrives, or not?
I will wait for your reply. Thank again

Yes, when you unlock your bootloader, the boot logo changes to the warning logo, and the boot animation was changed by Motorola for 6.0.
You should be able to relock the bootloader by "fastboot oem lock". You can also flash a different boot logo and animation, but then the phone will not be pure stock anymore.
Because you flashed pure stock firmware, you should get System updates for XT1092 when they are released by Motorola, you don't need to reflash the full firmware.
The factory firmwares on MEGA are not mine, but thank you to whoever is uploading them there.

Thanks dear Sir for your guidance.
So it mean if I re lock the bootloader by entering command "fastboot oem lock", then I can install future OTA update if it arrives for xt1092 without bricking my device? Or my device has official stock but hybrid firmware or some parts of firmware. (xt1096 +xt1092) and may brick while installing official motorola OTAs? Or now it is 100% pure xt1092.?
This is last request And I don't wat to waste your time any more because you already given your precious time to me.
Thanks again for your guidance.

1) You don't need to lock the bootloader to receive ota updates. Updates work with the bootloader unlocked.
2) Don't worry about updates, Motorola said marshmallow 6.0 is the last update this phone gets. There will not be anymore OTA updates.

Hi sir I tried to re lock the bootloader by entering command " fastboot oem lock " and failed as........
..... (bootloader) FAIL: please run fastboot oem lock begin first!
(bootloader) sst lock failure!
Then I entered... fastboot oem lock begin
and returnd string is follow
.... ( bootloader ) ready to flash signed images
Then I can't understand what to do now.?
And an other thing when I connect my phone to PC it is still recognise and mention it's name XT 1096 however I installed firmware of XT 1092 and every thing inside is totally new corresponding to 6.0 and is XT 1092.
Is there any thing wrong, or its bootloader could be re locked. Or I should repeat the whole flashing process and at last befor entering "fastboot reboot", I should try fastboot oem lock. Is that maters or not before rebooting first time, or should I re flash the boot.img now to lock the bootloader or it is more difficult to do or it is impossible. Any idea or help or any other link please.

But only proceed to flash marshmallow 6.0 firmwares if you are not using Verizon network because you will loose CDMA but you can use GSM and UMTS networks

Hi,
i just got brand new unused Moto X 2nd gen (2014), It has 4.4 Android on it, but OTA update does not want to work anymore, as of 15.1.2020.
It is unlocked XT1095.
I am looking for somebody to help me over Skype to update it to 5.1 and then to 6.0 - the way usual update would go, and would donate to you via PayPal.
Hello, I tried to install a rom on my moto z3 play and now it does not start. With "blankflash" I managed to make it turn on in mode fastboot but i try to install the original rom but it says "Oem_locked". Then install the moto smart asistant tool but it didn't work either, inside "moto asistant" I get "Error combining the connected device, please connect it and try again", when I connect it, an unsupported device appears. It is rare because the previous times I use the program, I download the official rom of the device and install it, but now it does not work. In "connected devices" it does not appear as "Qualcomm_Qdloader 9008" but appears as "Fastboot beckham S".
I'm really desperate I don't know what to do. If anyone knows how I can fix it please I need your help.
Is there a way to enable usb debugging from the "fastboot"?

Hi. I want to flash a rom using fastboot into my mz3 Play. I can't find a tutorial on it. After I download the ROM:
1. I unzip it to the desktop?
2. connect the phone to usb in fastboot mode?
3. Run the commands in fastboot?
or do I have to unzip the ROM into the ADB / fastboot folder?

Using fastboot, unzip the firmware files in the same folder as adb / fastboot and then follow the commands listed above.
Note:
The bootloader must be unlocked.
The adb drivers must be installed.
The device must be started in fastboot mode.

Thank you for the link. The tutorial is great for someone who is knowledgeable in fastboot. But my experience with fastboot is limited with booting and flashing twrp. And maybe a few simple other commands. The tutorial didn't have any information regarding what I was supposed to do with the ROM zip after I downloaded it. However, your tutorial had several links and following one link to another and to another.. ... I was able to determine that what you do with the zip file kind of depends on how you have set up your adb/ fastboot. And because of another article you wrote I was able to determine unzipping the rom in my abd/fastboot folder was what I needed to do. So, thank you for your knowledge, which is light years ahead of mine.

My phone is a sprint variant. I wanted to flash the brazil variant and the US canada variant, in hopes of one would solve my issue and I could get my bootloader unlocked. I couldn't get them to flash with the rescue tool. I followed someone's instructions where they were able to trick the tool by replacing the files in the lmsa's rom folder. Unfortunately I couldn't get either one to flash in the lmsa tool past 64%. They fail. So I had to fastboot them. Unfortunately I still can't get fastboot to retrieve my unlock data.
