Hi, i received the Motorola update and let it update officially to lollipop 22.21.19.
battery life is terrible, could you please kindky tell me if there is a way to revert back to kitkat without rooting?
The idea Is that i would still like to use official updates in the future to update to lollipop, 6 months down the line when hopefully bugs are sorted.

i know our Verizon XT060 has not gotten the 4.4.3 update yet would anyone know when? (only sprint and t-mobile) but since we dont even have root for 4.4.2 ,should i update it to 4.4.3 with promises of root eventually? or should i stay on 4.4.2 and wait for that root. we all heard that 4.4.3 and up will have root problems so is it even worth it?

The new root exploit for 4.4.2 has been released. You'll find info in the "original android development" section. The exploit is PATCHED in 4.4.3
If you update, you will not be able to use the new root exploit. There is no promise that there will EVER be another exploit. If possible, you should pursue a bootloader unlock.
The "root problems" for 4.4.3 have been fixed by the latest version of SuperSU....so long as the developer of the root apps you are using has implemented the new methods. But you will ONLY achieve root on 4.4.3 with unlocked BL.
Good Luck.
P.S. Sprint Moto X users have NOT received an update yet....not even a SOAK test. Only the T-Mobile variant has received it, and you shouldn't consider it a final release. As with all "soak" tests, the idea is to identify any issues so they can be fixed, BEFORE the official OTA is released.
The official OTA will likely have updates not yet included in the current SOAK test 4.4.3.
Well, only Nexus and GPE devices even have 4.4.3 right now, and the T-Mo update is only in testing, so I don't know why you didn't wait at least until the T-Mo version got the OTA, and then probably another week or two before asking when the update may come. Do people really have that little patience that they can't wait 2 weeks after it goes to AOSP and Nexus phones before asking about when an update will come? It'll be released when Moto, Google, Lenovo, and VZW deem it to be ready and not a moment sooner.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-4-4-3-rolling-out-to-moto-x-e-and-g-starting-today/ :/ i have it on my moto g already, i have plenty of Patience, you cant blame people for being excited.
I was wondering if there was a way to change my moto x xt1058 (currently with 4.4.2 Movistar Argentina) to an international or carrier free firmware?
I looked up in the firmware link from motorola and there seems it doesnt exist a 4.4.4 update, yet for the moto G it doesnt either but my brother currently have his on 4.4.4
Thanks in advance guys
AFAIK there's no international or carrier-free firmware per-se. You may want an AOSP-based ROM like SlimROM, DirtyUnicorns, etc.
You can flash a bloatware free version, though, but it will still be based on some carrer's ROM.
As of today, only Verizon has released its official 4.4.4 and will be full of bloatware also.
fortunately my phone came bloatware-free.
So the only 4.4.4 update out there is Verizon's?
My idea was to flash a firmware from which i would be able to get the earliest OTAs

Not only is this very risky (flashing another carrier's ROM), but also it doesn't mean that you'll get updates quickly at all!
In the case of the Moto X, Motorola has staggered the updates across all carriers. The camera update came first for 1 carrier. Then the 4.4 update came first for a different carrier. The 4.4.2 update was first for yet another carrier. The 4.4.3 update came first for the XT1053, and the 4.4.4 update came first for Verizon. There is nothing you can do to make sure you receive updates "earliest" - unless you switch carrier ROMS each time a new update is released. Not only is this ill-advised, but it could leave you with an expensive paperweight.
My advise is be patient. Your carrier WILL get it soon.
Hi there,
Quick questions for you geeks out there. I have a Moto X with Brazilian lollipop image on it (final soak test image) which i installed based on another thread here.
Since i wasn't on the Soak test list and since this is the same version as the official roll out which started few days ago, will i now get updates OTA ? or do i need to downgrade again to KitKat and upgrade through OTA again? i also read somewhere that i can not downgrade back to Kitkat since i don't have an unlocked bootloader.......help is much appreciated.
thanks
With the lollipop update taking time, I'm growing restless and I'm sure a lot of us are! just wanted to know if someone has captured the ROM for the OTA update lollipop 5.1 recently released in Brazil for the 2013 Moto X. also, is it fine to flash it on a Moto X 2013 from another country (I'm from India) if I could get my hands on it?
Hi Guys,
I managed to downgrade from Lollipop 5.1.1 to kitkat 4.4.4 asia retail version via rsd lite(excluding gpt.bin and motoboot.img). However if i try to update the software to official stock lollipop, it says the device is already up to date. Can you'll tel me if il ever get the OTA updates now?
Thanks !!
Hi ... this is purely an opinion which I think will be helpful, followed by a question.
1. I do not believe further OTA should be of an issue to you because I do not believe Moto X 2013 will be getting anymore!
Could I be misunderstanding something?
On a separate note I am trying to downgrade my own Moto X to 4.4.4 from 5.1.1. Have you noticed any issues as a result of leaving out gpt.bin and motoboot.img?
Ta.

Hi mate,
Well to answer your query, i did not have any issues downgrading to kitkat from lollipop. and i also got the ota update for 5.1. Smooth as butter, having no issues thus far. Why are you downgrading anyways? i happened to install the custom rom, so wanted the original one.
