Hey!
I can't seem to get the OTA updates. I rooted and unlocked the bootloader, do you think that has to do with it? I've read several people that say they've gotten such updates, but I've been using the phone for two weeks now and I haven't received not even one.
EDIT: Already tried unroot and flashing the original recovery. None worked.

Are you using XT1063? I am using XT1063 and I too didn't get any updates yet. I haven't unlocked the bootloader yet.

Yep, that's my model number. I wonder if it's because it's the global model?

Just speculating. But apparently one needs to unroot and re-flash the stock recovery menu in order to get OTA updates.

I haven't rooted or unlocked my bootloader. Did you mean that I have to reflash the stock firmware even though I haven't changed anything and using the phone with the original firmware?

Ok, so pretty everyone here has heard of the supposedly upcoming jellybean update as well as an incoming bootloader unlock for euro open O4Xs. I bought this phone unlocked from amazon. Bottom line- it has a Taiwan branded stock rom on it. Does anyone think there'll possibly be a chance I will have my bootloader unlocked too or should I just not get my hopes up?
Anyone?

you'll just have to flash the EU-open firmware before unlocking the bootloader. that's it.

Hello.
I bought my phone from amazon too, and i just flashed the newest firmware via kdz because the update wasn't available via OTA. My phone is also branded TW but it is just working great. You won't have problems.
I unlocked my bootloader and i read that we shouldnt accept OTA updates once we unlock so does this basically mean i cant update to JB now? or do i have to do a workaround? custom ROM? any help is appreciated.

Same here. Purchased the phone in November, unlock bootloader straight away and received JB update without any problems (orange.en). Where did you hear there is any problem?

Yup, 4.1.2 from Retail.EU
thread
I saw it on a thread here on Q&A about avoiding bricks it says if you unlocked bootloader you shouldn't accept OTA UPDATES, cause users are reporting it bricks you phone but it also says something about downgrading so maybe it's in the case you downgraded. Another thing is yesterday I got an OTA 4.1.2 notification in my phone but couldn't update because I had deleted a lot of apps that came with the phone and it checks for them, so I restored to stock firmware with all the apps back and now I am not getting the OTA notification.

I have a Xt1095 PE Moto X. Can anyone clarify that if I have an unlocked bootloader and have rooted my phone if I will indeed receive the OTA for Lollipop and if it will install without issue? I haven't received any system update notifications nor when I check through the settings page, it states that I am up to date with KitKat. I don't mind waiting if I know I will receive it but I am not, I will manually flash it via the guide in the other thread.

Won't work. You have to be on stock. Reflash the factory images. Then sideload the ota. There are a bunch of guides.

Thank you very much sir. I figured this was the case but couldn't find any definitive post.
I think I'm in the same boat. Mine came with the boot loader already unlocked and system rooted. My recovery is stock.
Will this prevent the ota update?

I am currently on 5.1 but work for at&t. I just put my work email on my phone that also requires a monitoring service called mobile iron that monitors my phone. My company now thinks my phone i rooted because I have "prerelease" software on my phone and am in danger of getting in some pretty serious trouble. I talked it over with my manager and they're giving me time to fix it, but I need to get off 5.1 as fast as possible.
I can't root and I can't unlock bootloader but I need to get off 5.1.... can i just flash a 5.0.1 ota zip? Really not sure what to do but don't want my company phone taken from me. all my clients know this number.
Thanks in advance

I think the only way to downgrade the version is to flash through the bootloader or flash a custom rom but you can't do either, but 5.1 is officially out so its no longer pre release software.
You have to unlock the bootloader to flash anything. No you cannot flash an older ota (ota patch existing files to new versions, not replace entire files) and as mentioned l, 5.1 is not pre-release.
How did you get 5.1 in the first place?

At&t hasn't approved the software I guess, so by their standards it's considered prerelease. I honestly don't see why it's even an issue, we use the exact same images that gpe versions get so it shouldn't matter. Not sure what to do at this point.

FYI, AT&T have no control over the update process. The update comes directly from Google, for all carriers. As long as you didn't install M or I, you're fine. There is nothing that AT&T could do to prevent anyone getting the update. Except maybe sending a memo out to a staff saying "you'll receive an update from Google. Please, please, please don't accept it"

Again, the carriers don't push the updates. They all come from google. Its not the same as other OEMs like Samsung

Can't you root and go back to 5.0 and relock bootloader and reinstall the mobile iron app?

Doesn't need root. He could unlock the bootloader, willing the device and then flash the system.img and ROM.img for a 5.0 ROM. Then relock
But its pointless. 5.1 has been released to both versions on the nexus 6. The north American one and the international one. AT&T do not.control updates going to their "branded" nexus 6 device. They're coming from Google directly.
Edit..
Hmm maybe I'm wrong...
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Turn...akes-a-little-extra-effort--heres-how_id67599
Maybe like tmo, Google will be releasing a different 5.1 for at&t. This is disappointing news for nexus devices.
So yeah, unlock BL and flash system.img and boot.img from 5.0

Its not a different 5.1, but they delay the updates. As soon as the update is apppved it won't be considered "prerelease" and everything will be fine. It's a complete formality. But, it is what it is. I guess I'm going to just pull my email off my device and hope the "trackability" breaks. Not willing to risk boot loader unlock as I'll have to give the device back at some point. Again, as long as I don't put any "at-risk" firmware on the device and relock it shouldn't make any difference, but it does.
*sigh*

You can unlock the bootloader and relock it (so long as you check it boots first). There isn't a flag or trip or anything that they will see.,

It's security updates up to May 1st. I can't install it though it fails and I am stock with unlocked bootloader.

I'm in the same boat. I just followed this thread and did everything right when restoring my stock ROM for Sprint. The only thing I didn't do was lock the bootloader. I cannot do OTA updates, fails every time. Someone mentioned a few pages in that thread, that right now it's a 50/50 chance due to an unknown variable. Give the forum time we will get it

I'll try tonight after the Gym and see if I can get it to update for me

For me, that variable is twrp. If I flashall to stock I can take the ota, then resinstall twrp and root after. Worked today too.
I was going to install LineageOS and just gave up on it lol. So I flash-all'd back to stock and the OTA worked this time.
So is there a method for clean flashing or i just flash over a rom using fastboot? I tried flashing a retail rom on my tmobile variant, it work but some things were broken.

which flashall did you use? I'm trying to do this too and it fails no matter what. did you also re-lock the boot loader for the ota to work?
I've tried unlocked and locked and it still doesn't take the OTA for me.

I doubt it. The Feb release of the Dec update got released two months later. (Apr 7th)
This phone is really weird. I got the update to work the very first time I flashall but twrp bootlooped and it won't install after the second flashall, tried multiple times.
This phone is really software wonky

When the update first came out, the December path I think, it was simply generic Android security updates, nothing specific to our phone or fixes, at least for the TMobile version
