I just got an unlocked Moto X from amazon for use in the US(AIO) and Jamaica(Digicel)
I've been using a phone with 4.2.1. The Moto is supposed to be able to get an update to 4.4.
Would like some opinions on upgrading or staying with 4.2 that comes with it
Thanks for any advise

Hey guys!

Will it update to 5.0?
Is it safe?
Hey Guys!
So i am on a rooted pure edition 4.4.4 Moto X Pure Edition (XT1095).
I do get the OTA update for 5.0 but I have not downloaded it because I have rooted the phone. So my question is , can I do a complete unroot using SuperSu and then continue with the OTA?
Is that safe? If not , what is the best way to get to 5.0
Thanks

Should work just fine from 4.4.4 to 5.x It did on my 2013 Nexus 7 which was stock rooted + unlocked bootloader. The only thing I ever had to do was re-root after and you'll have to do the same. The same root method and file works on 5.0.........I just used it a couple weeks ago on my X which was on 5.0 out of the box because I just got it.
Once you're on 5.0 though it's more work to get updates. Google changed what they're looking for when checking the partitions (can't remember exactly what offhand) and now if any modifications have been made (rooted, added/removed system apps, etc.) the OTA's will fail. On my N7 I had to wait for the factory image to be released and I just flashed the system.img in fastboot. I'm not sure what will be needed on the X since the only images I see so far are for 4.4.4

Did anyone else get this notification? I'm running stock official 5.1 obtained via OTA on Pure Edition- 23.11.14/LPE23.32-14.. Not sure what this is about or if it's legit. Its not dismissible and I'm a little paranoid about random updates that don't show in the play store.
I received that on my Moto Maxx running 5.0.1.
I found a BNIB Moto X to replace my older one with a cracked screen. Out of the box it was on Jelly Bean and after a couple OTA updates it's on 4.4.2 but it's not updating anymore. Checking for updates says the software is update even though on it's an older than current version. Is there any way to bring to a newer Android version without rooting it given this situation?
My recommendation is to leave it on 4.4.2. Lollipop sucks.
I agree, but at least getting the new dialer from 4.4.3 might be nice.

Hello,
my friend has a Moto X Pure, running on Android 7.0 currently, not rooted yet.
He wants to root the phone now, Carrier is Straight Talk.
Which of the current available Roms are working with Straight Talk and Pókemon Go? Does he need a code from Motorola to unlock the bootloader?
Is there anything else he needs additionally, like Magisk?
Looking forward to your suggestions, thanks
