I haven't paid much attention to the Moto X scene since I got my Nexus 6. What is the current ETA from Moto on the X getting Lollipop?

Read someone just got there design moto x from motorola last week and it still had 4.4 on it, can someone else confirm they are still coming from Motorola with 4.4? I am sending my standard 16 gig moto x i got from verizon last week back, it had 4.4.2 on it. Verizons upgrade website sends you to motos website to design your own moto x if you don't want the standard black/black 16 gig version. Was about to pull the trigger and order a 32 gig design my own from moto but would like to hear from others who have recently to confirm which version of kitkat is coming on them.
Thanks
Mine came with 4.4 and going crazy everyday asking for the 4.4.2 Ota. I had the phone replaced like 2 weeks ago

Thanks, did you root yours? I believe you can stop the OTA notifications with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
Not sure I've never used it. Read about it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/moto-x-verizon-dev-edition-twrp-boot-t2709189
got mine 2 days ago and it came with 4.4
I got mine here in Brazil yesterday and came with 4.4.2 already!

Why do you want 4.4? If its that important for you to be able to root and disable write protection that you would return a phone because it had 4.4.2, then consider getting the Developer Edition X for Verizon.
I realize there will be cost differences if you are "renewing" your contract, or using the subsidized pricing, compared to having to pay full price for the Dev Edition, but with the Retail and Moto Maker X and its locked, you'll be stuck on 4.4 from now on. As your actions indicate you are aware 4.4.2 Breaks the current root/WPDisable processes, so you have to understand the likelihood of Root/WPDisable for 4.4.2 and beyond at this point are slim to none on a locked bootloader.
While JCASE has a root exploit to use on 4.4.2, he said due to his job and other commitments, he wont release it until the fall. Who knows what ROM version will be out for the X by then (4.4.3 or above maybe?) and will it patch that exploit? And that still leaves the question of Disabling Write Protection, without which root isn't nearly as useful (many would say worthless because any changes you make while rooted would be lost the next time you power off/on). This "late" in the game, with Moto already saying they are working on an X replacement, will a WPDisable method come to 4.4.2 and beyond?
I understand rooting, disabling write protection on 4.4, and then using Safestrap to run 4.4.2 is still an option. But its not one I've really followed, so I don't know how stable it is compared to just running 4.4.2 by itself. And I don't know the possibilities of running future roms this way (with 4.4 as a base and something higher than 4.4.2 via SS).
Your actions (going through the hassle of returning a phone because it had 4.4.2 already installed and possibly paying a restock fee, then trying to find out if MotoMaker phones still ship with 4.4) would indicate that Rooting and Disabling write protection is extremely important. So I would say Developer Edition is your best option. You can always unlock the bootloader, which disables write protection, and root it, and doing so doesn't void the warranty (at least the hardware warranty)
Oh, and if you don't like the woven white back with black front on the Dev Edition, consider Dbrand skins or a case.

To Freeze the apps (and stop the OTA notification, you need to be rooted.
The 3C_OTA.APK resides in /system/app or /system/priv-app. It can be renamed using a root capable file explorer.
If you are not rooted, you can't stop the OTA or the OTA prompt.
4.4.2

Hi, Since i see no news about when the Nexus 6 will be released to the public sale, I need to get a phone since a relative is traveling between november 28 and december 6, so this would be my choice, I was wondering if this phone uses stock android, and if it's going to receive fast updates like Moto X, Moto G? I would appreciate your information, thanks!

Probably will, because Moto X and this phone are really similar phones, so don't worry about it.

Thanks for your comment! but this is more like an assumption right? I would not like to buy a phone that will end it up being like a Samsung where updates are not coming after some time :S

Motorola has the Droid Turbo on their list of phones to be updated to Lollipop but there is no ETA yet on when they will happen. Rumor has it that it will be sometime in December but that depends on Motorola/Verizon.
Well it finally happened, I dropped my X. Or more like someone whacked it out of my hands. It's fine, but there's a gouge in the metal frame that's already driving me nuts. So I wanna use my Moto Care to get a new one, but I want to make sure that the one I get will have KK, because it's a pain to downgrade. So, those of you who have recently gotten your Pure Editions- did they come with KK or are they already updated to Lollipop? TIA.
I received my MotoX 2014 pure edition on 2/13. It came with Lollipop. I did use the factory mage from here to downgrade to KitKat.
That's all you had to do was flash the factory image?

I don't need your help, tard. I just thought there were more steps involved... per you, actually. I'll show you the damage next time I see you, it's heartbreaking.

Ordered mine on 2/2 and received it on 2/13. It came with KitKat.
Hi All - So I want to get a new phone and love the Droid Turbo but I NEED root. I read all the warnings about taking the OTA 5.1.1 LP update because it prevents the root exploits. So I just went to a Verizon store to buy one with KitKat but they told me I was SOL because 99% of all new Turbos have the LP update.
So am I really SOL if I want to buy a new Droid Turbo and root it? Is there any way to flash a Turbo with LP back to KK after it is already updated?? If there truly is a way to go back to a former firmware can someone point me to a link?
Thanks and sorry if this was already discussed ad nausea.
Can't revert back. And Verizon is probably bsing you. How would most of them already be updated by now?

Would I have a better chance at buying it with kk online or in stores?

Hard to say, but if you get it in store make sure to tell them not to turn the phone on and activate it. That you want to do it yourself

Just called around and found a store with a 64gig Turbo that has KK and they're going to hold it for me until I come get it!! Very Excited!
Seems like the future for rooting our phones is getting bleaker and bleaker.
What the subject says...
Slim to none!
We'll get 5.1.1 maybe for Christmas! :silly:

Maybe in a year or so we will get Marshmellow, but I doubt 5.1.1 ROM will be released for SGS5 by AT&T...

Yeah 5.1.1 at this point stupid.
6.0 on my nexus 7 2013 has quadrupled the battery life.

I just got off the phone with ATT and they told me T-mobile should be getting the 5.1.1 update soon, and when they do, ATT and verizon should be getting the update a few weeks later, no one said the phone companies are smart....
