[Q] (Q) Bootloader and update - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I have my brand new Moto X XT1097 here in Mexico, as far I know no matters if Motorola sold me or a carrier, the only Pure Edition is the XT1095, so having this in mind, I decided to flash the Official Lollipop version XT1097, here in Mexico is already rolling. But my phone has locked bootloader and I already check at Motorola page and is suitable for unlock, but I dont want to unlocked, not just yet. Well, my question is, if I update my phone to Lollipop will I be able to unlock the bootloader after that or I have to unlock BEFORE the update?
Thanks in advance.

Doesn't matter at all. You can install the 5.0 OTA and unlock your bootloader later.

well, is not OTA, but the zip, I will install using ADBsideload. Some others mexicans users having the same firmware version are receiving the OTA others dont. But anyway, thanks my friend.

I updated with the zip file that was uploaded for México. And then unlocked the bootloader on lollipop

The file is only for pure edition. I tried and failed. There are a couple of post on General section of how to convert you phone to pure edition, including my own tutorial. Regards

Are you unlocked and/or rooted?
What version are you on now?
What version are you trying to upgrade to?
Have you previously upgraded and then downgraded?
Are you using RSDLite or just mfastboot?
Xt1028 is the Verizon Moto G, correct?
This is an xt1028 that is for claro Puerto Rico I believe its the same as the att version, now I'm on custom rom liquid smooth 4.4.4 but I've been able to install custom 4.4.3 versions

Well when I do a google search of Moto XT1028, it says it is the model number for Verizon Moto G.
The Moto X for Claro Puerto Rico is the XT1058, which is the same model as for ATT.
So your bootloader is unlocked. What version of the bootloader are you on? You can tell this by booting into the bootloader mode - it will tell you what version of the bootloader you are running.
Sorry you are wright about the model, well I believe the boot loader is 30.b7 sha-bae5e20

Did you check and that is it for sure - 30:B7?
30:B7 is the 4.4.4 bootloader so you have already upgraded your bootloader and your partition table to 4.4.4- you cannot downgrade those and that is why you are getting the error - you are trying to downgrade your partition table to 4.4.3. You cannot do that.
Gpt is the partition table.
What are you using, RSDLite or are you flashing manually using fastboot/mfastboot?
Yes i did upgrade to 4.4.4 after that I unlock the boot loader and flash customs 4.4.3 actually I install one 4.4.3 base room and work fine. Now what I'm trying to do is install stock 4.4.4 for my carrier

I've used rsd and recovery by the way the 4.4.3 I used I installed by RSD

Try installing 4.4.4 stock sbf using RSDLite then.
Excuse my ignorance but what is sbf?

I hate to barge in but it sounds to me that this phone was updated to 4.4.4 and then downgraded to 4.4.3. Isn't upgrading back to 4.4.4 in these situations what causes a brick?
I'm not smart enough to say this with conviction but I don't want to see him brick his phone.

No. He didn't downgrade. He installed a custom rom which is based on 4.4.3. He is fine.

Unfortunately, there is no 4.4.4 for claro Puerto Rico.
What are you using as your custom recovery? Did you make a nandroid of your 4.4.4 system before you flashed the custom ROM?

Makes sense. I just interpreted this to mean that he downgraded rather than custom recovery flashed:

I just want to be clear here, you flashed the 4.4.4 firmware for the XT1050 to your XT1058 and this resulted in you having the 4.4.4 bootloader version 30:B7.
You were then able to return to stock 4.4.3 by flashing a 4.4.3 nandroid that you created using TWRP prior to flashing the 4.4.4 firmware for the XT1050, correct?
Correct now I'm able to install custom ROMs 4.4.3 and 4.4.4

Gtk. I was able to do the same thing - i.e., upgrade to 4.4.4 so my bootloader was 30:B7 and then go back to a 4.4.2 nandroid. My bootloader stays at 30:B7 but no problems with going back to a 4.4.2 nandroid.
So it seems that as long as you have a nandroid of an earlier android system, you can downgrade the system without bricking.
Seems to be at least I've been able to install stock base and aosp 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 but using rsd only 4.4.4

Moto G (2014) doesn't detect the lollipop update?

So I've had the moto G (2014) for a month now and for some reason I can't detect the latest build version or the lollipop update. My sister has a slightly newer build but she didn't get lollipop either.
Thanks in advance peeps!

Which model do you have? I don't think XT1068 has gotten the Lollipop OTA yet. If you're on XT1064, you can side-load the OTA via ADB.

I just snooped the forums for a quick bit. Sadly Lollipop has not come to the XT1063 yet.
Just in case; I don't recommend you sideload the XT1064 OTA. There have been people complaining in the XT1064 OTA post that functionality was lost since they have a different model.
However, according to this post; Lollipop works. If you decide to use this method, be aware you are flashing a XT1064 OTA on a XT1063 phone. "I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT TO FLASH STOCK LOLLIPOP ROM OF DIFFERENT MOTO G VARIANT. " -AD9295
I suggest you just wait it out; as painful as it may be.

Oh i wasnt planning to flash it anyway, I am too much of a phone noob that i fear i might brick the phone, I was just worried that it might be my device's fault.
I can't get mine to find the update either. XT1064, locked bootloader, completely stock on 21.11.17 in the U.S. Phone just says software is up to date.

Is it a retail, simlock free, device? Or did you buy it with a provider contract? In the last case you'll have to wait for your provider...

Looked it up in the Amazon store: they're selling 2 variants: the US version and the international version. The US version should have the update by now. The International version has to wait.
What version do you have?
XT1063 Global GSM Single SIM
XT1064 US/Canada GSM Single SIM
XT1068 Global GSM Dual-SIM
XT1069 GSM+GSM+DTV Dual-SIM, Brazil model supporting DTV
As far as I know only the XT1064 has the official Lollipop update by now!
If you bought the "global" version, you probably have the XT1063...
Mine (I'm from Europe) is the XT1068. So i'll have to wait too...

ATT Bootloader is locked down and sunshine had no plans of trying to unlock it anytime soon, so you'll have to wait until ATT pushes out 5.0. But this being my favorite device I've ever owned I decided to go ahead and drop $600 on the pure version with no regrets. But hopefully they will unlock the ATT version someday as I hope everyone can experience the best Motorola out to date imho
This will go to my favorites, that's for sure!
Thank you very much!
is 5.0 or 5.0.1?
Thanks!

Did someone with 21.11.14 got the Lollipop update?

Hi guys, i see that many people got the update but most of them are with 21.11.23... Did someone with 21.11.14 got the Lollipop update?
I also have 21.11.14 but i didn't receive the update yet.

I was on 21.11.14 european retail and I already switched to 5.0.2 manually last Sunday.
Well, I have to say that the main difference is the memory managment. On Lollipop is way better, I absolutely confirm that :victory:
Not the same thing and my method is completely different

Sorry to say but the soak test, indian OTA capture , official Full firmware and currently rolling out OTA of lollipop 5.0.2 for XT1068 IS the same firmware.. LXB22.46-28 build date Jan 6th
Its just delivered by different ways and installed by different methods.
even the regional versions of XT1068 i.e retgb , retde and retbr etc will most probably have been based on this 5.0.2 RETAIL ALL firmware if they follow the same structure as 4.4.4 firmwares
HINT MOTOROLA i'm still waiting FOR UK (GB) version.
I'm currently looking at the Brazilian 5.0.2 xt1068 firmware to see what regional changes are applied compared to the RETAIL ALL 5.0.2 xt1068 firmware.
