[Q] OTA question - Moto X Q&A

Question for whoever can answer -
I have the XT1060 which I'll be taking with me over to AT&T once my VZW contract expires. I'm well aware I will not be getting LTE, which is fine, but my concern now is when 5.0 is pushed out, which OTA do I take; VZW's or AT&T's? I'm going to assume VZW but I wanted to ask to make sure.

You get the ota according to the original carrier. You're phone isn't a AT&T XT1058 so you won't be getting the AT&T update. You will get the Verizon XT1060 update.

[Q] XT1058 - Non-AT&T Versions Update?

Hey everyone,
I'm not sure if anyone would actually know this but if they could take an educated guess on if the XT1058 models that aren't locked to AT&T get the 4.4 update when AT&T does. [I'm on t-mobiles network]
I didn't realize how many different variables there were when purchasing my Moto X.
My current system version is 139.12.35.ghost_row.AmericaMovil.en.PR
I have not unlocked the BL or rooted. I just wanted to know if I'd be getting the update around the same time the AT&T folks do.
Thanks!

[Q] Possible to get AT&T 4.4.2 update on AT&T Moto X without being an AT&T customer?

[Q] Possible to get AT&T 4.4.2 update on AT&T Moto X without being an AT&T customer?
I want to purchase a used AT&T Moto X 16GB from a private seller. I intend to use the Moto X on a 3rd party MVNO pre-paid carrier (H2O Wireless who is owned by ATT).
This is a completely stock ATT Moto X 16GB that currently runs 4.4 where both the BL and sim are locked.
Once ATT releases the official 4.4.2 after the soak testing, how will I be able to update to 4.4.2 without ATT service? Will I have to wait for someone here to hopefully post the official ATT version and then try installing via WiFi?
Or would I download it from here to a PC and then copy it to the Moto X internal storage via fastboot USB and then install via recovery?
I have asked 3 different customer reps at H2O Wireless if their network accesses AT&T's OTA updates and they were clueless. Naturally, that would be the easiest approach but I don't want to depend on them for any future Android updates.
Thanks for your help.
No, you will not receive the update. Sure, you own a AT&T Moto X, but H20 is still separate from(even though owned by) AT&T and thus will have to release their own update.

So what if someone buys a Moto X from ATT who only wants to use it as a WiFi device? They just buy the phone for full retail price and not a wireless plan.
Are you saying such customers aren't entitled to AT&T Android updates specifically for their device via WiFi?
Well, yes you can actually receive the update via WiFi only. I forgot about that.

It doesn't matter what network you are on. The carriers don't push the updates. Moto does. It will be seen by Moto as an AT&T variant and will be push the update. However, you may want to be on WIFI since these updates can be rather data consuming.

sure you will get the OTA; I got mine (soak test), on unrooted, stock ATT Moto X, using on Dutch carrier. Don't worry about it.

[Q] AT&T Moto X Updates On Straight Talk

Perhaps this is a stupid question, and if so I have no doubt at last a few people will let me know, but I purchased an AT&T Moto X which I used on Go Phone for 6 months, after which I unlocked and switched to Straight Talk. My question is, with AT&T now doing soak tests on 4.4.4, will I still get the update since I'm no longer an AT&T customer? And if not, how can I update when it's available? Thanks guys.
Yes, you will get AT&T updates, as long as AT&T releases them. But I am pretty sure AT&T will not release any updates for Moto X.
AT&T doesn't actually release or distribute the update, it's all done by Motorola. AT&T only has to approve of the build before Motorola can release it. The update comes straight from Motorola servers, and whether you're using AT&T or not is irrelevant when it is distributed.

Excellent! Thank you!

Silly question, does it matter if I have the Tmobile sim in phone when I update?

So I just got my Moto X pure edition that ships with a tmobile sim, I connected to wifi and I am downloading the OTA update but I left the tmobile sim in. I am going to be using this phone on AT&T though, so that is why I am asking. I notice in some of the baseband and other labels I see the letters TMO which to me means tmobile but it may be unrelated.
Thanks and sorry if this is a stupid question.
It is the pure it will work on AT&T fine. It supports both networks just fine. The baseband does have the TMO name in it but does not matter. Just keeps it different from the AT&T version.

Thanks, I figured as much but just wanted to be sure.
keep that tmobile sim. AT&T hasn't even released Lollipop yet, so if you throw that tmobile SIM when everyone else is starting to get updates, you should get the update too. If you try to update with the AT&T SIM in, you're going to be waiting quite a while.

With the pure edition it does not matter what Sim you have in the phone. You get your updates from Motorola not the carrier.

[Q] Will the firmware update be pushed down to user on MVNO?

I no longer have an account with AT&T, I am on PureTalk which is one of AT&T's MVNO. Will OTA update be available to me when it becomes available to AT&T users?

Nope. Only a postpaid AT&T sim. Even my AT&T prepaid service tab 4 didn't get the last OTA. Gonna have to hope someone makes a safestrap for L and a flashable. I'm in the same boat with all my devices. Won't ever go postpaid again but then lose the option of any OTAs.

That is interesting. I wonder if st has a contract with AT&T? Would make sense, but I don't get them, never have with aio (when it started) and now cricket even tho they are owned by AT&T. And like I said even my prepaid AT&T data only plan on my tab 4 hasn't gotten the OTA to 4.4.4. Hmm, wonder what's up with THAT. lol
Yes DM, I'm still on 4.4.2 on this S5 (insight program) my beloved Note 3 and my tab 4, all prepaid mvno thru AT&T.
I'm wondering how this will work when L comes around since I don't get them, but will need the firmware for any ROM. @muniz_ri will you be updating safestrap and make a 4 part flashable again? Or even a full ODIN?
