As question says:
Wil there be an - official- update to Android 5 for our beloved Moto X (in my case unlocked ATT)?
Typically, we should get the update right after the moto x+1 gets it
Sent from my Moto X
Moto has said the E will get it. Our phone us not even a year old yet and they have also promised major updates for 2 years.
As I recall, 18 months of official update support is the (official? empirical?) Android way of thinking, isn't it?
Motorola Germany posted on their Facebook page that Moto X and Moto G will both receive the "Android 5". Actually the Moto X is very well capable of receiving it.
I also plan to port the Stock AOSP to this device and the Moto G with my old team.
Anyone plan to port Android L from the Nexus 5? Since that is the only way will we get it for now

I'm assuming these require root, etc.

Yeah, require root. It's a problem?
I don't currently have root. I think there are probably a lot of people in that boat, too.
No big deal. Just asking.

Exactly, Android enthusiasts should run, not walk, away from Verizon. They're the most expensive and least friendly (to the dev community) of all carriers.

OK I really hope it comes with 4.4 or lower so I can root. I have one currently with 4.4.2 and can't do anything, so I'm getting a replacement because of bluetooth issues
Just got mine today and it came w/ 4.4.2. Guess I'm waiting it out for a root method.

I hope mine isn't 4.4.2. The moto customer service person I talked to said they should ship with 4.4. Fingers are definitely crossed here
Honestly this is the first phone I have a need to mod. I miss a couple root apps but other than that the phone is damn good stock

Straight out of the box from Verizon, it had 4.4.2.
Picked it up eight days ago.

I saw, You just want to know here : Does anyone know if moto is shipping their verizon moto X with 4.4 or 4.4.2?
So i see it's 4.4.2... :cyclops:
I purchased my VZW Moto X about 6 weeks ago, and it came with 4.4.2. I ordered it online. If you get lucky, a store may have one with the older firmware. Just don't let them update it in the store....

are you talking about a new phone or warranty replacement?
If new, and root is such a concern that you need to be asking what rom comes on the phone, I would suggest purchasing a Dev Edition instead. Yes it might cost more, but you'll be able to root & disable write protection no matter what. And if the color scheme bothers you, get a case or dbrand skin.
If warranty replacement, there is not much you can do. just wait and see when yours gets there.
My AT&T Moto X shipped to me a couple weeks ago with 4.2 JB on it. I had to do like 4 updates.
I received a VZW MotoMaker this morning pre-loaded with 4.2.2.
I'm getting my moto x soon and is there a way to unlock the bootloader or does it only work with the DE?

Read the thread in Moto X General titled "China Middleman Back?"
This is currently the ONLY way to unlock a NON-DE Verizon Moto X
I suggest doing it ASAP - its impossible to know when the Chinaman will lose access to the database.
Good Luck.

It started again last week, for 2014 models only (a few 2013 models have worked though)
YMMV

oh nice.
If only there were a Q&A section for topics like this...
Also, get the DE edition, otherwise you're taking a chance on if you'll be able to get a valid unlock code.
Sent from my Moto X
@ry_t keep in mind that the bootloader unlock code is unique to each phone. So if you need to replace your phone for any reason, you'll have to get another unlock code.
If you do not have the Developer Edition X for Verizon, you can try buying the code from the Chinese Website/MiddleMan. But again, you'd need to buy another code if you need your phone replaced (like warranty).
This likely does void your warranty too.
If you get the Dev Edition, the code is free from moto's web site, and it doesn't void your warranty.
And as imnuts alluded too, this should be in the Q&A section, rather than Dev section.

There's no root for 2013 X on 4.4.4 either. I believe jcase said he may have a temp root possibility but was holding off packaging it due to the upcoming L release and not wanting to burn it. Apologies to him if I 'misremembered' his exact wording.

This sucks. Now I want to return the Moto X. Ill keep my LG G3 until a root comes out.
crap...the other issue with not having root is the inability to tether with VZW's unlimited data plan

I got this from @hungryoungman
"Confirmed - Following phones to be updated to Android L on the same day. Samsung: GS5, Note 3&4 ; HTC One M8; Moto X 1&2; Nexus 4,5,7,9."
Pure Edition means it is not tied to a specific carrier. Updates will come direct from motorola.
Pure Ver. Price it different?

the pure version is unlocked and not tied to a carrier. since it's not subsidized, you have to pay the full price for it.

Thank you.
So then will be a "convert to pure edition" utility... For software updates more efficiently?
What?!?!? No, you have to purchase the pure edition at full price. You don't update to pure edition.
It means it haven't been violated and perverted by AT&T and Verizon.

I don't think it's that easy with the Moto X, probably end up with a brick, but you're free to try.
