OTA UPDATES after downgrading Lollipop to Kitkat - Moto X Q&A

Hi Guys,
I managed to downgrade from Lollipop 5.1.1 to kitkat 4.4.4 asia retail version via rsd lite(excluding gpt.bin and motoboot.img). However if i try to update the software to official stock lollipop, it says the device is already up to date. Can you'll tel me if il ever get the OTA updates now?
Thanks !!

Hi ... this is purely an opinion which I think will be helpful, followed by a question.
1. I do not believe further OTA should be of an issue to you because I do not believe Moto X 2013 will be getting anymore!
Could I be misunderstanding something?
On a separate note I am trying to downgrade my own Moto X to 4.4.4 from 5.1.1. Have you noticed any issues as a result of leaving out gpt.bin and motoboot.img?
Ta.

Hi mate,
Well to answer your query, i did not have any issues downgrading to kitkat from lollipop. and i also got the ota update for 5.1. Smooth as butter, having no issues thus far. Why are you downgrading anyways? i happened to install the custom rom, so wanted the original one.

Do not take the ota, wait for the sbf firmware and flash with rsdlite, I have seen and read more problems due to accepting an ota, patience my friend. No guarantee that you will have an issue but its better to be safe than sorry

SAme here, but what If I unroot via toolkit? Dangerous?
If you have deleted system apps, flashed a custom recovery or things like that then either SBF back to the original 4.2.2 firmware or 4.4 when available. If its only root you can just take the OTA. It will kill root during the process.

You will probably we waiting for a bit. The full FXZ/SBF files are usually leaked days, weeks, or sometimes even months after the OTA rollout completes.
I can't give you an ETA (no one knows), but I can tell you there is no leaked 4.4.4 SBF/FXZ for you yet...

Its because the 5.0.1 and 5.0 updates were for an earlier version of kitkat. No way to manually update or no ota yet. Must wait it out because there is not a great was to downgrade firmware

The version is Consumer Cellular Version 21.11.23.titan_retuavs.retuavs.en.US reus Build: KXB21.85-23, which is a upgraded version that from what i have read in these threads is NOT getting Lollipop ?. I use the first link to flash but downloaded loaded Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US or Retail version someone uploaded because Moto link has not worked since 12/12/14, from the second link .

Moto x 2014 xt1097 lollipop

Hi there,
Quick questions for you geeks out there. I have a Moto X with Brazilian lollipop image on it (final soak test image) which i installed based on another thread here.
Since i wasn't on the Soak test list and since this is the same version as the official roll out which started few days ago, will i now get updates OTA ? or do i need to downgrade again to KitKat and upgrade through OTA again? i also read somewhere that i can not downgrade back to Kitkat since i don't have an unlocked bootloader.......help is much appreciated.
thanks

[Q] how to rollback to KitKat? (on lollipop)

Hi, i received the Motorola update and let it update officially to lollipop 22.21.19.
battery life is terrible, could you please kindky tell me if there is a way to revert back to kitkat without rooting?
The idea Is that i would still like to use official updates in the future to update to lollipop, 6 months down the line when hopefully bugs are sorted.
