You have Root and TWRP, you can't take the OTA with TWRP. SEe -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/faq-how-to-prepare-ota-update-carriers-t3126425
And as for downgrading to Kit Kat, if those who installed the leaked 5.x test versions is any indication, No, you can't downgrade to KK after you install the OTA update to 5.1. See -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/info-warning-risks-downgrading-impacts-t3058202

Thanks, i receive the ora in the stock kk wife's device, not on my unlock and rooted moto x. They are the same en. DE from amazon germany

Is moto gen 2
Getting lollipop 5.1 update ???

My question isn't about the update but the notifications. Will one be presented with OTA update when using custom ROM/RECOVERY? I do understand you couldn't actually take it though

Custom Recovery doesn't impact being notified.
Custom ROM, It depends... CM11/CM12 or AOSP based custom roms will not get any notification. But roms based on the stock moto rom, with customizations, debloat, etc... yes you'll get notified.
The OTA will fail if you attempt to install on a custom rom, or if you have a custom recovery installed.

after update can i flash the twrp recovery?
and then can i flash a kk custom rom?

yes. you can also use twrp backup of KK

Are you sure that it works? Kk with different bootloader?
I can't believe it

[Q] 4.4 root OTA

I know from previous phones if I rooted and installed a custom recovery that I wouldn't be able to take an OTA update.
Would still I be able to receive a new OTA update (say 4.4.2) if my Moto X (4.4) is Rooted without write protection?

I'm pretty sure that you won't be able to install the OTA with a custom recovery.

With the new root method (wp off) you keep the stock recovery. The only real way to know is too try. I guess its feasible..... But I've seen rooted devices boot loop in OTA's too....time will tell!

it is not something i would do when the next OTA comes out i would revert to stock and take the OTA or i would wait for a root and go from there. i do know for a fact with a custom recovery if you take a OTA your device will bootloop. with WP off i am not sure what would happen but again i would not recommend trying because it could case some major issues.

4.4.3

I read that 4.4.3 will be coming any day for Sprint Moto X (already out for T-Mobile.)
I've rooted my phone, deleted some bloatware, installed Xposed, etc.
Will I need to re-flash the stock ROM before updating to 4.4.3?
Or will there be a pre-rooted 4.4.3 on this forum which I can flash right over my phone as it is (like there were for my older devices)?
Sorry, new to Moto X.
You'll need the bloat back, that's why you should only disable and not delete it. OTAs do file checks on the system partition and if any are missing or modified the OTA will fail. You'll also need to disable Xposed as well.

I was just going to ask the exactly same question. I am also on Sprint, and had gone through the official bootloader unlock but not changed the stock rom. I imagine I will still get the OTA update, and taking it will not make me lose root?
I have the OTA update reminder frozen with Titanium Backup right now and am currently running 4.4 out of paranoia. Reading some of the other posts, it seems that I might be OK and OTA updates may only affect those on ATT/Verizon that had to go through other means to get get root?
Always best to freeze...not delete. Takes very little space up and no problem with ota's.
You can always download the official 4.4.2 from Moto and flash system.img and recovery.img. Those will get you back to stock. Then you can take the OTA, flash TWRP, root and reinstall Xposed (all your modules and Xposed/gravity box settings will still be there).
That is what I did going from 4.4 to 4.4.2. Worked like a charm.
You have to flash system.img with mfastboot though not just fastboot. Just Google instructions. They are on xda as well.

What I'm curious about....is if you will be able to downgrade from 4.4.3 to 4.4.2? If its the same bootloader, which I'm sure it is....should be fine. If it isn't....I see many brick threads in the coming days. ?

Thanks all
No OTA notification yet. My girlfriend got one for her Telus Moto G tho.
Hi
I got the 4.4.4 from OTA Rogers, but cannot find the stock recovery for it.
From your links I see 4.2.2 etc. and this one ROGERS-CA_GHOST_KXA20.16-1.26_cid14_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
Would that maybe be for 4.4.4?
Thanks

[Q] Inquiries about rooting Moto X Lollipop 5.0

Hi
Is it good to root 5.0? or shall I wait to 5.1?
what will happen if I rooted on Lollipop 5.0 the upgraded to 5.1 using OTA update? will it harm my device?
Is there a trusted/tested root for Moto X 2014 Lollipop 5.0?
If you are rooted you will need to do a clean install of 5.0 before accepting an OTA to 5.1 or the OTA will fail. The way I use to root is to flash a custom recovery and then flash SuperSU.

what do you mean by "good"? in what aspects? the answer will depend on how you want to use after root features.
AFAIK, you have to stock recovery installed before getting any OTA, they wont even downloaded if you have a custom recovery, so you have to use fastboot to install stock "recovery.img" before getting OTA.
I used CF-Auto root method, its safe and easy, but beware, you have to unlock bootloader first.

Firmware update...

Hi all,
Currently receiving an OTA alert about firmware 22.41.24.en.gb. Anyone know what this is? 5.1? Can't install as I am currently rooted with custom recovery and xposed framework. Is all I need to do to install change to the stock recovery?
I've got this update as well this morning. Also rooted with TWRP. I'm no expert but I would say we need to wait for someone to make an update we can flash from recovery.
What is your model?

Locally I have stock image + ota
I can upload ota but for apply it you have to use everything stock
I removed root via super su app menu and reflashed the stock recovery.img before accepting the upgrade.
Then once the update installed ok I put TWRP and root back on the device.

Now that you have ota installed, can you tell me your system version and build number? I have 22.21.28.thea_reteuall.en.EU retfr system version and LXB22.46-28 build number and I didn't receive any OTA upgrade notice. I have not done any mod (root, custom recovery...) to stock
OTA Fails
Damn, even after full unroot and flashing back the stock recovery the OTA fails... And I can't really read why.
Except for root, I installed system settings Tasker plugin and converted it into a system app as well as froze some CN bloatware apps with TB. I will now reflash twrp and reroot and first try to unfreeze and as a last step uninstall the Tasker plugin.
If anybody has some solid experience, please share and maybe save me some time.
Thanks!
UPDATE: Alright, that all didn't work. I realized that the tasker plugin does not copy anything to the system, but I had a Helper app from PinTasker there which I deleted. And I unfroze all the apps and did a full unroot, but still no luck. I don't know what to do anymore now except for going full back to stock (no gapps), but I would rather avoid that if possible.
Still, glad for any input on this matter!
Thanks

Hi, is it possible to flash the stock retgb firmware (on locked bootloader) if the phone came with the retde firmware? Since they are exactly the same model (xt1072) and both firmwares are digitally signed by motorola.
I ask cause the retde hasn't received this ota update yet, and if I switched it to the retgb i could get the ota update right away for the newer modem and bootloader before i unlocked and got cm.
Thx
