Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any way I can get Lollipop running on my US Cellular Moto X (2nd Generation). As far as I know they haven't pushed out an update and they've been pretty quiet if they even will. If anyone knows, let me know! Thanks!
It's possible to get 5.0 on XT1093, but buggy and difficult. Not really worth it IMO. The Liquid Smooth, CM, Ressurection, etc custom ROMs will work for you though.
A little birdy whispered in my ear it won't be too much longer before Lollipop officially comes to USCC's Moto X 2014...

And where have you heard that it won't be long until the USCC version gets an update? As far as I can recall they don't have an amazing track record with updating devices quickly...

I agree they haven't been known for timely updates for most devices. However, they have done very well with Moto X and Nexus 6 so far, and considering Lollipop is currently running on LESS THAN 0.1% of all Android devices it's safe to say they're not exactly "behind" on the Moto X 2014 either. They got the original Moto X updates extremely quickly, faster than or on par with major carriers in fact.
I have heard that Lollipop soak testing is underway for our device. I'm not a soak tester myself, but this is what I have heard.

Good points there. I went and signed up for the Motorola Feedback Network, so we'll see what happens with that.

Now that soak is over, soak testing started 1/16, probably the reason you missed getting in. borxnx was right on the money! I'm pretty happy with how fast Motorola got the soak out and final firmware. I can tell you that Lollipop runs like a dream on the XT1093, and you are all in for a treat!

Before you accuse me of cheating, try reading my original post more thoroughly. I was part of the soak test! Also, if you looked at my original screenshot, the baseband alone would show you that it was developed for US Cellular (USC). I have posted the rest of the screenshot so there is no doubt in your feeble mind that I am running official firmware! Also, this firmware was the final soak version. I do not know if the OTA will be a different version from what I currently have, as I have not received the OTA myself. I hope this satisfies your pessimism.

I won't receive OTA because I am in different system. My phone is XT1097 and now is XT1085 (chinese). that's why I was asking about where you get the firmware because I want an american image to test the moto voice, chinese version is not working properly, but I see your post below that you are in soak program.
Just a comment, no matter if you are in chinese, american, european you can always have your original baseband with different system, even when is not meant to use it, that's why we asked about it.
regards!

No problem @niko99. I haven't received the OTA yet myself. I'm not really sure if the firmware I have will be changed in the OTA, or if it will stay the same, just know it is the last update during the soak test
I got the OTA but now under about this phone and status
Network: unknown
Cellular network type: unknown
Service state: Voice ut of service / Data: out of service

so, you loose signal at all. is weird, because the OTA has patchs for every partition, even for the modems, in you case you have a problem with the modem, you need to flash your stock modem (NOH and fsg.mbn files) via fastboot
Hope this help you

Maybe he can help you. He has the stock firmware. You only need to ask.
By the way, if there is any system image of your phone out there you can use the modems, is indifferent if is kit Kat or Lollipop, they will work in both systems.
Good luck

Yes and that's because you are trying to flash and old stock recovery version, if you want to downgrade you have to use different steps here is the post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/help/lollipop-to-kit-kat-t2986044
In your case you only need to flash the NOH and fsg files. By now I am not at my computer but here is my post check the steps to recover signal after an OTA update

Where do you guys get your stock firmware from? Reverting to Stock in ios was a non-issue as Apple is always happy to get you back in its walled garden. With Android it seems a little harder and I can't seem to find official (signed) Motorola stock firmware. Furthermore, updating using the Motorola OTA service won't work until I reflash stock recovery. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks

no motorola does not publish these files except a few DEV files for Moto X
these are all leaked , but i have downloaded several and made Easy Installer(s) for them
see my signature - if your boot loader is unlocked you can flash these (i.e downgrade) upgrades can be done locked - I only have .14 DE available ( now making a .23) but its a 2hr download
heres your full firmware - sorry its a SLOW download - not under my control

Thanks. Yeah I couldn't find any official files or even a md5 /sh1 signature. That would be enough to authenticate the validity of the images. Motorola's website has a few images for Droid and X models as you mentioned but none for the G.
Back in my ios days I felt comfortable installing firmware originating from a few select groups of developers who were well known in the community and there seemed to be a good system in place for peer reviewing their code. Is there such a thing in the Android Community? I mean there's TeamWin, Cyanogen and the likes for mods, but for Stock people just install random files without knowing what's on it?

ALL Easy Installer firmware has been tested on my device (hence why only for xt1068) , multiple times
I have a rooted TWRP US Celluar Moto X2 (XT1093), I am trying to find out if there is a 6.0 or 6.0.1 ROM that I can run on this phone?
I managed to rework one of the stock ROMs - Here's a link to the Team USC site where I have it posted:
http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/topic/8950-rom-stock-60-mm-moto-x-2014-flashable/
While I hate to link offsite, you will probably get a little better feedback for a US Cellular based phone there.

I understand really appreciate the help, been a while since I've rooted a device.....DX2 that was a while ago.
Hi guys,
Is there an option to flash Android One (Project Fi) to regular Moto x4?
Reef2009
Not now, but I really want it. Is very dificult to get a Moto X4 version Android One outside of USA... :crying:
No, but a guy in the custom roms thread was able to flash the retail Moto x4 ROM onto his Fi phone (as a last resort to recover his bricked device).
I really want this feature in moto... As I don't know the regular moto will get updates like Android one or not, as I know obviously the Android one get updates faster but the regular version will get same updates even if its late or if the Android one version will updated we can update the regular moto with root and custom recovery. Thanks in advance for your answers.

I don't think you'll ever be able to apply Android One Updates to a Retail model phone (even with root and/or custom recoveries). They are just too different in some basic /system features. In fact, right now; just rooting the phone screws up your ability to apply the updates for the Android One version TO the A1 phone. Even if you UNroot.
I just hope either the developers fix that or Motorola releases a true "factory image" that we can restore that will let us truly go "back to stock" (and begin receiving updates again). If Moto does that, you should be able to apply THAT to you Retail version (turning it into an A1 phone). That's your best hope.

The retailer one comes out full of annoying bloatwares. Actually I don't care about Fi Project, I just want have the cleanest UI possibile with only the strictly necessary. Oh, there are the security patches and os updates aspects too.

This reminds me of older non-nexus phones- we would have to grab the OTA and use tools to construct the stock rom in a form that was flashable/modifiable. In the pre-lollipop? times, the patches were file based, so it was much easier to modify just specific files. The OTAs are now block based, so they just modify the atomic blocks that need changing, so you need an exact copy of the file system in order to apply the OTA.
