[Q] Moto x Verizon OTA 5.0.2 update - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I have several Verizon variants of the Moto x (XT1096) all on stock 4.4.4. In all of them I am offered the OTA to 5.0.2 which is 678MB. I don't want to download sooo much times the same OTA for each one. Is there a way to capture the OTA to apply it to the rest of the cellphones?
Thanks in advance!

You can use Motorola Device Manager to update your phone from your PC or Mac. More info at the Motorola site: How do I update the software on my phone or tablet using a USB cable? There is a link on that page for the software download page.

What do you mean Verizon variants of the Moto X XT1096? What network are you using your device on that you are being offered the OTA to 5.0.2?

Idk how he is being offered an OTA to 5.0.2 on Verizon. Is he using the phone on a different network?

I thought 5.02 was the current Verizon version. I just got my XT1096 a week ago from Asurion as a replacement for a dropped XT1060Dev. It had 5.02 installed when I got it. The fxz from which we have made our mofo images is 5.02. I had presumed that the 2nd gen MotoX (which I wasn't following closely until very recently) had gotten its 5.02 update a while ago and the OP of this thread had just not taken it.

Another thought here. Aren't OTA updates usually free, in other words they don't count against your data usage?

No, it is 5.0. Go to Settings, About Phone on your phone and what does it say? Mine says 5.0.

You're right, I stand corrected. I really thought when I got this phone last week that I looked and it said 5.0.2 With the previous 1st gen MotoX I was running cm 12.1 which was 5.1 Lollipop and had previously been 5.0.2 so that might be where my confusion come from as well.

The first generation Moto X (2013) are still on 4.4.4. They are getting 5.1 soon though, probably sooner than the MX14 b/c I suspect Verizon is not going to give the MX13 HD Calling so it will be a quicker process for Verizon to test the OTA for the MX13. It really sucks if the MX13 won't get HD Calling but Verizon is not giving the iP5s HD Calling so I doubt that the MX13 will get it either. Also, if you noticed the announcement of the 5.1 update for the MX14 did not include the Verizon XT1096, just TMobile, AT&T and PE. I am sure that is due to Verizon.
Anyhow, the reason I asked this is b/c if the OP is being offered a 5.0.2 update, I doubt he has a Verizon SIM card in his phone. If it is the 5.0 OTA, then yes, but 5.0.2 no. I don't know what would happen if he tried to take a 5.0.2 OTA on a Verizon MX14. I worry that he would brick but maybe it would check the model number and then abort the installation.

Yes, I'm watching that. Since the XT1096 is still a current Verizon phone, hopefully they won't hold it up too long!

[Q] 4.4.4 update on xt1053 on AT&T network?

[I have no idea how OTAs are staged, so I hope this isn't the worst question ever asked in these forums]
I have a Moto X GSM (xt1053) that I got through Motorola using motomaker. I'm on the AT&T network, and things are working fine.
Since AT&T Moto Xs are xt1058, will my phone get the 4.4.4 OTA correctly?
Thanks

Yes, you will receive the OTA just fine. The network that you are using won't affect it at all.

Republic Wireless is still on 4.4.2, so you're not the last....
Anyways, the only known difference between 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 is the ssl and a couple other patches. Extremely minimal difference. There most lilkely wouldn't have been a 4.4.4 if the ssl bug wasn't discovered - we all would have likely went straight to L (eventually).
From what I have read the system version in tmobile 4.4.3 is the same as the other 4.4.4 releases. So we don't need the 4.4.4 update since we are already patched.

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...

[Q] Stock Lollipop Update

Hello,
I can't find a thread on any information about a Motorola rom lollipop update for OG Moto X. Did I miss it, or is there really no news about it? Google really isn't helping here, it's a mix of Moto X 2014 information and news reports that say it's happening from the beginning of November.
Thanks :good:
I just asked an agent of Moto. He said that the update might be available within 10 days.
However, Moto hasnt officially given any information....
Who knows? So glad I forked out the extra cash for a "developer edition". Kinda thought timely updates would be included lol.
Lollipop source came out about a month and a half ago, the 2nd gen Moto X and G are still the only phone outside of Nexus and GPE that has a wide rollout of Lollipop. Given that the Droid Turbo is getting updated soon, I'd guess the 2013 phones will be getting updated at the end of December or sometime in January, still ahead of most other devices, and before anything else from last year. People need to learn WTF patience is.

Nope.
Developer Edition of the 2013 X doesn't get updates any faster.
See the discussion starting at Post #4 of this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/xt1058-to-xt1053-developper-t2967009
If anything, developer editions are LESS likely to receive updates in general (e.g. Samsung)

Which doesn't hold true with the Moto X or Motorola in general since the release of the Moto X.

Do you have stock or custom recovery? If custom you will want to flash your stock recovery before taking a OTA.

[Q] Why Moto X (2013) 16GB can't be bootloader unlocked?

I have search in XDA with no results. I have a Moto X (2012) XT1060 standar version 16GB [Carrier VZW]. I request for a bootloader unlock in motorola's webpage but this model is not listed. I tried using WinDroid and the page said that this device can't be unlocked.
Remember this is not a Developer Edition, it's a 16GB version unlocked band to any carrier, it was from VZW.
And is not only me, many users have the same problem, they can't unlock their devices.
Why? and is there a solution... How?
Thank you for you attention.
You can thank big "v" for that. They, along with att I believe, restrict Motorola from giving out the bootloader unlock codes. Mind you that's different from a phone being "carrier unlocked." With the China middleman mia, your only current option is to try and use sunshine 2.0. If that doesn't work then you will have to wait for sunshine 3.0 which is said to be released "soon" but don't ask what exactly that means. In the meantime, don't update to official lollipop should it be released before sunshine.
Don't forget Republic wireless... (The big 3 that can't unlock are Verizon, ATT and Republic Wireless)

Hi, I have tried using Sunshine 3.0.3 and it Force Closes during 2nd compaibiltiy test. "unfortunately , SunShine had stopped"
XT1060 4.4.3 VZW - Rooted
Anyone have any ideas? Is their a link available for the 2.0 version somewhere, I don't see on their site.

4.4.3 on a Verizon XT1060? I think that is a typo.
THe Verizon XT1060 never had 4.4.3, only 4.4.4, 4.4.2, 4.4, and then the couple of 4.2.2 versions.
If you have 4.4.4 Sunshine likely wont work.
If you have 4.4.2 and have never upgraded to 4.4.4, then Sunshine should do the trick.

goto their page and live support, the dev fixed it for me and gave me a special version, he said it would be patched into 3.04 or 3.0.5 yesterday anyways, so you may want to goto the site and see if it's updated.

Not better than a $100 mint condition non-dev edition, which now has an unlocked bootloader thanks to the wonderful support from therootninja (as gchase23 suggested, they hooked me up with an older version that works with the Moto X with 4.2.2).

Where to check firmware?

Okay, complete noob question here. I cannot seem to find the .44 listed anywhere.
Is 4.4.4 the newest firmware?
I noticed my bootloader lists 2014 as the date. I did run a upgrade to get last months security patch, from what it seems.

Settings->about phone->build number. SU4TL-49 is the newest. If you're interested in unlocking your bootloader, you must be on SU4TL-44 or lower.

So, let's back up. First, what version of Android are you on Kitkat 4.4.4 or Lollipop 5.1? Any Verizon version firmware numbers mentioned in this thread only apply to Lollipop.
SU4TL-49 is the newest version of Lollipop 5.1 for the Droid Turbo XT1254.
SU4TL-44 is the previous version of Lollipop 5.1 which allows the Sunshine bootloader exploit.
IF you are on Kitkat, you have to upgrade to Lollipop, but do not take the SU4TL-49 OTA.
There is a SU4TL-44 file you can flash here in this forum.
mine come with SU4TL-49
but well i desactivated all bloatware , still a very fast phone, 75 000 in antutu, 5;30 to 6:30 hours of screen
im surprised with this phone
Okay... I guess this is a droid ultra, even though it says MAXX, and the frame says MAXX. Ignore this thread!

Kind of unrelated but, I have a Droid Turbo XT1254 that I accidentally upgraded to 5.1 SU4TL-49 and I'm super bummed out because I wanted to try out CyanogenMod.
Do you think Sunshine will ever release a patch that will work on that newer build? Or maybe will release a new version for when Android 6.0 rolls out on XT1254 devices?
Also, first post :3

Can't be predicted. First exploit took a year to find. Sunshine team says they are not actively looking for another.
You can always sell your phone, buy an SUTL-44 Droid Turbo on Swappa or buy an XT1250 (Another Quark which is a Droid Turbo clone that runs on Verizon, with easily unlocked bootloader).
Thanks for the advice, from what I've seen the XT1250 is a bit more pricey.

Not the XT1225, but the XT1250. It's on eBay for $189, with free shipping.
If you buy an SUTL-44 Droid Turbo, make sure it is actually 44. And then you have to pay for Sunshine with the Droid Turbo, so factor that in.

Right. If I buy an XT1254 and it comes with Kitkat (not sure which build exactly...) is it possible to get the SUTL-44 OTA and not update all the way to SUTL-49 ??

Oh actually I found this thread (that I think you made) http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/help/xt1254-vs-xt1250-t3395747
It answers my questions I think I'll be getting another XT1254. Thanks for your help I really appreciate it.
I'll probably be around asking more noob questions in the Marshmallow thread or somewhere else, so it's nice to know there are some super knowledgeable and helpful members on here
