[Q] When is Lollipop going to be pushed?

So I just bought my Moto G 2014 (unlocked) and I have it all activated and set up. I was wondering though when Lollipop will be pushed so I can update to it? All I see articles are saying "It will get it" and "you should be able to update to it now" but I can't and I really don't want to void my warranty a day after I bought the phone. I want to try vanilla* Lollipop. Does anybody know when exactly?
( * = without having to manually install it via unlocking bootloader and using fastboot)

Motorola knows.

If it is the XT1063/4 ones, you can already install it via OTA.

I have an Xt1064 and I still havent received the update. Is the update available here the same as the OTA? Im tempted to just install that one.

Download the proper ota zip for your version from xda. Reboot into your stock bootloader. Apply update from sdcard. Done. No need to root or use fastboot. This can only be done on a completely stock phone with a locked bootloader. Its the same as end result that you'd get if you wait for the ota to arrive normally. Do not do this if you have unlocked your bootloader at any time. And make sure you use the proper ota zip for your model, there are three different models, the single sim us model ends in 1064.

...from where can i download the proper ota zip????
mine is MOTO G2 (2nd GEN) XT1068 dual sim europe

You can't. Lollipop isn't released for the XT1068 yet. But be patient. I suspect it to be there in the first or the second quarter of 2015! (And with a little luck maybe even this year...).

i understood we will take directly :angel:Android 6.0 (M) Milky Bar.......:good:

Honestly, it should be there anytime now. But people keep asking the question over and over again: when is it coming? This is annoying, because no one really knows!

Follow the guide at ( http://www.droidviews.com/restore-moto-g-2014-to-stock-and-lock-the-bootloader/ ). However there's a couple of things you have to do differently.
Your first command after you enter fastboot mode is gonna have to be "mfastboot.exe oem lock begin".
Theres also gonna be four system.img that you have to flash so after the command "mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2" you have to enter the command "mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3". Follow the rest of the guide, including the "mfastboot.exe oem lock" command at the end.
So basically the commands would be...
mfastboot.exe oem lock begin
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot.exe erase cache
mfastboot.exe erase userdata
mfastboot.exe oem lock
My phone automatically rebooted after that last command and my boot loader was locked even though it still displays the "Bootloader Unlocked" screen, I was able to flash the zip in the OP through the stock recovery after that.

The xt1068 ota isnt available yet. There is a process to install another versions firmware on the xt1068 then upgrade to lollipop. But it looks buggy and super risky. I wouldn't recommend trying it. Id wait a little for the 1068 ota to be released. I know the other poster said it wont be available until 2015. But nobody knows for sure when itll be out. If i where to guess, id say itll be out fairly soon, sometime in the next 30 days. If I where you Id play it safe and wait it out.

The only otas out so far are for the 1064 & 1063.

Stock image for XT1097?

Hi,
I have a Brazilan version XT1097, bootloader unlocked but no root yet.
I cannot install anything from play store because I get an error that does not say much.
All I did was trying to root using a guide I found that tells you to use CF-Autoroot, but it just did not work.
Then I installed TWRP to see if there was any ROMs available since I came from the Nexus 5 and was used to see tons of ROMs on xda to grab and flash.
To my surprise, none is available so far.
Now I am trying to find the original 1097 images to flash on my device and go back to stock.
Might even give up on root, if necessary, but I need the phone back
Any ideas on how to proceed?

A different problem now
The user seco2004 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4946010) has provided me with his backup image.
I followed the steps on the motorola website to flash all the files but my phone is stuck at the bootloader warning message, that one that says that the bootloader is unlocked.
When I entered TWRP to wipe all over again, it says there is no system installed...
Any pointers are most welcome!

I'm not sure if this is what you tried before, but there's pretty much no chance of anything going wrong if you follow the commands:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img (maybe you missed this part? instead of the "system.img", you need to flash the system files one at a time, something like: mfastboot flash system systemfile_1.img, the mfastboot flash system systemfile_2.img, and then proceed with the commands below)
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem config carrier vzw
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
After all this the phone should boot normally into stock 4.4.4. Sorry for the delay, Tapatalk didn't notify me , hope you got it fixed already.

Greetings !

It was actually the KK 4.4.4 original images.
I had to update to lollipop right after via OTA.
IDK if secco2004 allows me to share it. Could you PM him, please?
He posted recently on the topic.

Yeah, it was actually the 4.4.4 Brazilian firmware, feel free to share it. For lollipop I have just the flasheable zip.

Since secco2004 said it is ok to share, tell me if you want me to sent it somewhere...
It is the XT1097 4.4.4 brazilian original images.

hey, can I have XT1097 stock images please?

I also need it
I flashed NX CM12.1 v3.0 rom and lost gps.
Someone in the thread said that i have to go back to stock, verify gps is working properly... blah, blah, blah.....
So the thing is that i don´t know what stock image to use on my phone and where to get it.
It is a XT1097.
Can any of you guys help me?

Need help please
I've flashed ATT_XT1097_5.0.2_system_ ext4_ root.zip using Mofo.exe and followed directions to the T but soon as its done flashing I reboot back into fastboot mode to wipe the cache but gives me error hab check failed for recovery failed to validate recovery image boot up failed. Please any help would be a life savor i'm lost. Anyone know where to find recovery.img file for Moto X XT1097 stock image file maybe I can flash in fastboot mode? I just hope I Dont have a bricked device. I am stuck in bootloop mode and can't wipe cache.

Thanks!
I really thank you, it worked for me! :good:

Firmware/Rom downgrade XT1072 -No sound-

Hi All!
Here is my situation, I have a moto g xt1072 (Jan 2016) which came with a faulty problem, no sound after 5 seconds of been started. I checked everything (Factory reset via recovery), including both speakers, (both working at 7.5 ohms). Do you think a firmware change or a different ROM can help or it's time to let it go?

The guide I linked to is not about downgrading. Ignore references to Android 4.3 - it still applies to Android 6.0. It sounds like you have not installed the usb drivers for your phone in Windows. This is a prerequisite. These Moto G drivers will also work for your phone:
Moto G USB Drivers (WinXP/7/8/10 32Bit-64Bit)​
Test Fastboot is working by typing: fastboot devices
You may also be able to use RSD Lite - but this again will require you have installed USB drivers for your phone.

my opinion is use RSD lite first, unless there is not a specific firmware file for your carrier/region...
or there is a high rate of flashing failure with the firmware available.
if RSD lite fails, best to post errors from pc and phone here
before try again, if there's not an obvious fix
then try mfastboot.exe
fastboot.exe is generic android, mfastboot.exe is Motorola specific, for moto's unique system.img...
avoid usb 3.0 ports
make sure the firmware downloaded is correct size, verified MD5 is best.
verify drivers are correct when the device is in fastboot mode

i think the tip you gave to avoid usb 3.0 ports will really help, didnt realize i was using the usb 3.0 port

Ok, this is what I did so far: (I'm running Windows 7 64b).
1. RSD Lite 6.2.4: Installed
2. Motorola Mobile Drivers Installation 6.4.0: Installed
3. Motorola Device Manager: Installed
1. I started the mobile into the recovery mode
2. Connected the moto cable to the pc
3. Opened RSD Lite, loaded the new firmware and hit start boton
4. The process reached a "please reboot manually...."
5. The phone starts but with the old firmware in it.

More Updates: I ran mfastboot sequence and every command returned OKAY. The issue still remains intact, sound works for 5 seconds, and the firmware has not been updated.
Any thoughts?

It looks increasingly like your issue is hardware, not software related. The only remaining software option I can suggest is via PC, do the following wipe: (requires working ADB setup - google it)

Just a quick reminder. This moto g XT1702 Jan2016, is not rooted, bootloader is locked and has everything stock, it came with Android 6.0 installed.

In case you can't get someone to fix it for you...
You must have flashed an American firmware, which has an incompatible baseband/modem, and since all Victara firmwares are now at the same Android level (6.0 May 2016 patch), I suggest you reflash the full Canadian RETCA firmware (I think there's only one RETCA firmware that works with all Canadian carriers).
But first, put the phone in Bootloader mode, and type:
fastboot getvar all
Copy all the info into a Notepad file and keep it.
You can download the RETCA firmware from here:
https://firmware.center:8081/firmware/Motorola/Moto X (2nd gen-2014)/Stock/XT1097/
VICTARA_RETCA_XT1097_6.0_MPE24.49-18_cid14_CFC.xml.zip
You flash it in Bootloader mode like this:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Which carrier did you get the phone from, and which one is it going to be used with?

Install the Motorola USB drivers:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
Extract the firmware zip and the ADB-FastBoot zip, and put all the files in the same folder.
Shift+Right-Click inside that folder, Open command window here... Paste all the fastboot commands.

Holy!! This did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was flashing a Telus stock recovery because that was the provider and it wasn't working!!!
But this worked amazing thank you so much!!!
I NO LONGER NEED HELP HAHA!!

Installation error rom XT1078

hello all right with you, I hope so, I am Brazilian, and I would take a doubt on the bike variant g2 xt1078 of my region (Brazil).
Accidentally I Flashed the ROM xt1068 on my mobile xt1078, and now the first command "mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin" shows the error "GPT Version Downgrade". And then camndo "mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0" It also shows the error "Image is too large" with this system partition has been reduced or changed, I wonder if this has repair, and that any suggestion and welcome.

The issue appears to be that you have flashed the XT1068 Bootloader and this cannot be simply undone by flashing the motoboot.img via mfastboot.
This thread describes the process for unbricking an XT1068, but may also be applicable for your handset. You will need another user with an XT1078 to provide you with the partition backups:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-lte/help/moto-g-xt1068-aka-moto-g-2nd-generation-t3435052​
There is a risk that this won't work and your phone will never turn on again.
If you prefer, you could just flash a custom Stock MM ROM (if available) or CM/AOSP ROM via TWRP.

It seems to be a very risky method, but not hurt to try.

You already almost completely destroyed your handset by flashing the wrong bootloader. You don't exactly have many options here.

I've tried this method.
After a backup of all partitions on another default XT1078, the restore process on my phone finished with error only on /system or /data (I don't remember well).
Then I've tried to boot, but it had boot loop, just blinking very fast the Warning screen of unlocked bootloader.
It didn't work. :/
The only working method was merging XT1068 and XT1078 ROMs. Now Wifi and Mobile Data are working.
Now I can't change this ROM. Lineage or the whole XT1078 stock can't be installed.
The problem was that I didn't realize I was applying a XT1068 ROM on a XT1078 phone.
As all partitions were changed by flashing gpt.bin, the correct gpt.bin of XT1078 can't be applied.

Any solution????

I am afraid that there is no solution right now. You already permanently ****ed up your machine by flashing a wrong motoboot.img and GPT, that is, by not using a correct ROM file. You were careless, because mfastboot is a DANGEROUS tool that requires CARE and a wrong use of this tool can turn your Moto device into a fancy black paperweight. It has no security measures that prevent you from flashing a stock ROM for a wrong device, which is what you did by not making sure that you were using a correct (or at least compatible) firmware.
I am afraid that your device is now crippled for life unless you somehow can force the correct motoboot and GPT in your phone (impossible AFAIK) or you get a new Thea motherboard and replace the current one. You are very lucky that you can still boot it, because most people in your situation are left with a permanent hard brick. Can you get into fastboot and is your bad bootloader unlocked? If so, you can try installing TWRP and LineageOS for Titan (then the worst you risk is a soft brick) or leave the "stock" franken-ROM that "works".
IMO you should get a spare XT1078 motherboard, unlock it's bootloader (AND NEVER TOUCH IT AGAIN UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED), flash TWRP and IMMEDIATELY flash LineageOS+GApps so you never have to deal with stock ROMs and the dangers they carry when handled carelessly. With custom AOSP based ROMs and recoveries the worst thing you risk is a soft brick, which you can fix by reflashing a proper custom ROM in TWRP and/or wiping partitions. No recovery? You still have a working fastboot to flash another TWRP. Messing with /system is MUCH SAFER than messing with your bootloader.
I hope you have learned a lesson about the real risk of flashing smartphone firmwares without doing enough research first. It's no game, a wrong step and no more phone for you.

Nice answer, benjausen.
I've done a lot of things on more than 10 different mobile phone models, but for the first time I think there is no complete solution.
My only solution was using a mix of XT1068 and XT1078 Stock ROMs, flashing one component per time. The only bug is on screen rotation that is rotating to the wrong side. The rest is fine.
I'd like to install LineageOS, but flashing isn't being possible. It is giving error.
Only the way I mentioned was successful. Is there any manual way to flash components separated instead of using a .zip file?

I don't have a lot of advice for you, as a previous post states your options are pretty much limited. Try flashing individual .img files from a LineageOS ROM. Try downloading one for Titan and patching the images inside it.

I don't have now a LineageOS ROM to check, but if I'm not wrong, it doesn't have each separated file as Stock ROM. Am I wrong?
I've flashed many Stock ROMs manually file by file, but never with custom ROMs.
Can you please provide any link teaching this with custom ROMs? I really want to try this.
Maybe this can be a solution, and if it works we will help many people here.
