I have a Xt1095 PE Moto X. Can anyone clarify that if I have an unlocked bootloader and have rooted my phone if I will indeed receive the OTA for Lollipop and if it will install without issue? I haven't received any system update notifications nor when I check through the settings page, it states that I am up to date with KitKat. I don't mind waiting if I know I will receive it but I am not, I will manually flash it via the guide in the other thread.

Won't work. You have to be on stock. Reflash the factory images. Then sideload the ota. There are a bunch of guides.

Thank you very much sir. I figured this was the case but couldn't find any definitive post.
I think I'm in the same boat. Mine came with the boot loader already unlocked and system rooted. My recovery is stock.
Will this prevent the ota update?

I have a Nexus 7 (2013) running Kit Kat (4.4.4) and recently got the the OTA update to 5.0.1, but haven't installed it yet. I rooted it using the WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit sometime some the last OTA update.
So how do I update to Lollipop? Do I need to unroot with the toolkit first? Will I need to backup my apps first and restore after the update?
Also, for some unknown reason, I no longer have the OTA update although I was notified that it had been downloaded. Odd! Guess I'll have to manually download it and side load it.
Thanks in advance...

Hello. I have a Galaxy S5 from AT&T, but it's unlocked and I'm using it with another carrier (I'm in Argentina). Will I get the update? I didn't get it so far and when I try to manually update from System Update and Kies. I'm worried that I won't get it because it's an unlocked phone.
Do I just have to wait or there is a different procedure for unlocked devices? Thanks in advance!
Same here I have carrier unlocked s5 active g870a at&t and no at&t support here in India .....still on 4.4.2 Stock and didn't get OTA update 4.4.4 and I am sure will not get 5.0 lollipop either. ..kies is not updating my device.....so where can I download 5.0 official at&t update flashable ZIP folder....wherever it's available. .....because I couldn't find 4.4.4 official at&t flashable ZIP folder update till now....thanks in advance

Either way, the 5.0 update is not out yet for the S5 Active....we're still waiting.
I don't know what is S5 Active. My phone is SM-G900A and I've read that it got the update this week (sorry, I can't add a link because I'm a new user).
If I won't get the update because I'm not using AT&T, what can I do? I don't want to root and flash a rom.

Using an unlocked AT&T S5 in Canada.
Can't get 4.4.4 or 5.0 OTA (says no update available). Been using stock firmware ever since I got it.
Any Odin useable firmware I can use?
(is the firmware here safe to use with Odin? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/ota-update-5-0-t3076449)
Edit: Also, why doesn't SAMMOBILE have the 4.4.4 update? : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900A/
Attached proof that Kies is complete BS.
(screenshot taken today... two official firmwares after the "latest" one in Kies)
Search for OA1 & OC4 stock zips, there are both on a thread. You can flash them via stock recovery.
where can i download official 4.4.4. Updated (zip and flashable) for samsung s5 active g870a ....it's not available on sammobile.....no at&t OTA Support here in India. ...because before getting 5.0 I should be on 4.4.4 . please help...

Does anyone knows if you keep "the sim unlocked" thing after you have updated? because in this link (reddit dot com) /galaxys5/comments/3qgvom/android_511_lollipop_g900aucu4coi5_firmware/ this guy provides the update file for 5.1.1 to install it from the SD via the recovery, but I haven't done it because I don't know if I will keep my "sim unlock" status...

Hey guys!
I'm in Russia, have an unlocked G900A, I was on 5.0 OC4 and now I'm on 5.1.1. Just flashed ZIP-files through stock recovery. But after update it was factory reset, but it doesn't matter for me. And, I'm unlocked! It doesn't lock to AT&T again!
Just flash zip files from here
RENAME FILE TO UPDATE.ZIP AND PLACE IT TO EXTERNAL STORAGE!

Do you know if the same happens if you downgrade to KitKat (4.4.2 or 4.4.4) because I've found a tutorial to downgrade (mine is in 5.0) to get better battery life and root capabilities.
thanks in advance:good:
No, you can't downgrade anyway. I'm afraid, you can get a brick. So, I highly don't recommend you to try downgrade. Or wait for the guide, how-to downgrade.
I'm on 5.1.1 and I don't like it, because it works slower then 5.0. But I don't want to get a brick if I try to downgrade.
I'm on T-Mobile and side loaded the LMY47D OTA zip when it was first released. How do I go about loading LMY47M? I bought my N6 through Google and want to stay stock (unrooted).

You'll have to unlock your bootloader and use this:

I received an OTA and was going to install it. Am using Wug's tool kit to install factory image and unroot/unlock so I could install. Wug's is failing. It could not auto identify my device build number and failed to install factory image. When I checked online, it appears that LYZ28M is a T-mobile image. How can I get it back to factory to update the OTA or get my phone back to a build for Verizon. I have no idea how I manged to install a T-Mobile build on a Verizon device, is that even possible?
Downloading 5.1.1. LVY48i now to see if that will work.
