Hi,
I have a moto g ext from consumer cellular, do they push updates?!?!? It is February and I still have not recieved an ota.
Sorry if this is a stupid question!
P.S. If they do not push updates, is there a way to manually do it? I want to keep my bootloader locked btw.
They do NOT push updates. I'm running 5.01 on mine that I flashed with TWRP but I am unlocked.

Hey guys so I searched the OTA questions posted in this forum but I didnt find what I was looking for.
I have an unlocked bootloader. I recently replaced my custom recovery with the stock one and then I flashed the ERD79 stock rom. Now, from what I read this procedure restores your phone to the original shipping image and therefore I should be good to receive OTAs, right ? But I didnt see anything pop-up for a day..system update said my phone is up to date. So I manually flashed the latest stock rom which I believe is FRG83. I dialed *#*#2432546#*#* and it said checkin succeeded. I did the same thing when I flashed ERD79 and I got the same response but I never received a notification for an update.
Im wondering if I will get an OTA for the latest gingerbread update or will I have to manually flash that too? Im wondering if unlocking the bootloader disables OTAs. Didnt google say people who unlock their phones will still receive OTAs? Do I have to do more to enable OTAs?
Thanks a bunch!
Nobody seems to get OTA's at the moment, no problem with doing it manually and having an unlocked bootloader has no baring on your ability to receive them.
Ok I just read somewhere that the servers are down Hopefully that is the reason why I didnt get anything. Thanks for the quick response
I have Rogers Moto X. I officially unlocked the bootloader and the rooted it on day 1.
I've read through two forum topics related to the update, but I'm still not sure what my options are.
Is there a way I get get the update installed now? Or, do I need to wait for Rogers to release to update and unroot and then update and then (hopefully, if it can be done right away) reroot?

I also have a Rogers Moto X with an unlocked Bootloader. I've flashed the T-Mobile Update that's floating around and it froze my phone, I had to factory reset using the stock images for my phone.
I'd just sit tight and wait.
Hi all,
I was just wondering about following:
I own a Canadian Version (Rogers) of Moto X. Rogers did not start rolling out KitKat upgrade to Moto X yet. However, there should be OTA upgrade roll-out some time soon. My Moto X is unlocked and I'm using it now on non Rogers network. Question is if my Moto X will receive KitKat OTA if I'm not on the Rogers network? If not how can I upgrade OS without losing all my apps and settings. P.S. phone is not rooted and would like to avoid that if possible.
Thank you all.
So nobody on this forum has any idea about my question?.....

I am rather newbish myself with the MotoX, but I have played around with a few ROMS on my old H0X and I assume the principals are usually the same.
When the stock Rogers OTA becomes available you will be prompted to download the OTA. If you choose to install this, it will most likely lock the bootloader.
Your best bet would be to root your phone, and get a custom recovery program on the phone (personally, I like twrp), and do a backup of the entire phone. This way, you can always revert back to that state afterwards.

It shouldn't matter that you aren't physically on the Rogers network. The Moto X should check back to Moto for the update, not a Rogers server. I also have an unlocked Rogers Moto X that I gave to my wife that is on TELUS.
The said thing is, the clueless Rogers reps who man the customer support Twitter don't even think they have an update. They are blaming Moto on not having sent it to them. Hopefully this is just the standard case of clueless CS...

If you do receive the ota and you are running any sort of custom recovery, do not install it, why? It will result in bootloops and it will not install. You must have an untouched system and running the stock recovery for the ota to flash correctly.
As for your boot loader, that will remain unlocked. Now what i suggest is neglect the ota and install the rogers KitKat sbf firmware zip instead.
I did accept the rogers camera ota and I could not flash twrp recovery afterwards, it some how prevents you from over riding the stock recovery. To get around this I flash the sbf firmware and I have no issue flashing twrp recovery. Yes my boot loader is unlocked

Guys,i have Retail 1058 Moto X with unlocked Bootloader,TWRP(latest and rooted) and i want to upgrade to 4.4.2!
Some guys already received the 4.4.2 brazilian update via OTA,and extracted the zip file,but,since im on custom recovery,the OTA doesnt reboot the phone into stock and go straight to TWRP,therefore,doesnt conclude the update,and keep restarting!
Since i need the phone,i did a factory reset via TWRP just to get things going!
But,i want to upgrade to 4.4.2!
Is there a way to do that?remove TWRP ou something else?
Thx in advance!

First thing is you have posted this in the wrong thread, should be in Q&A section. You need to flash both system and stock recovery to take an ota, I believe this has been mentioned more than a few times

Moved here, as this does not belong in the Dev Section...thanks. OP please read the Forum Rules on posting....
just got an OTA notice. Safe to install on a rooted phone?
If not, what is the method to install it safely?
Why did you get an OTA update for Verizon if you are using a TMobile G4 ?
actually, I dunno what the build is coz I haven't installed it. Just assumed it was the same based on the release date. Silly me.
In any case, I have the OTA update waiting on the phone and would like to install, if it's safe to do on a rooted G4.
