Hi guys!
i have a moto x with bt unlocked. i've updated my moto x to 4.4.4 few weeks ago when i received the OTA.
i'd like to flash to stock rom back with rsd lite to have a complete factory reset, but the 4.4.4 stock rom german version isn't already available.. so can i flash the original firmware my moto had before the OTA (german retail 4.4.2) with rsd lite and then update it again to 4.4.4?
i'm not sure i can flash 4.4.2 over a 4.4.4...
thanks a lot!
Since you took the 4.4.4 OTA if you try to downgrade you will BRICK! There are warnings all over this forum.

If you factory reset does it uninstall the OTA?

Hello. You have the Moto X XT1052? If you have the Moto X XT1052 with the bootloader unlock you can downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2. Download the firmware 4.4.4 Verizon and extract the files motoboot.img and gpt.bin and copy them to the firmware 4.4.2 Retail.en.DE and flesh with RSDLite. At the end you will have the Moto X with firmware 4.4.2 Retail.en.DE

My Moto X has no brick to move from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 and then upgrade to 4.4.4 via OTA file.

I do not doubt you, but please do not encourage others to risk a brick, when a newer ota comes, for what is of little gain.

You are not given a forum where freedom of speech. You have tried as I did? I tried and it works. Just because I did the downgrade and not an important person of XDA does not mean it does not work. I do not care what you think the guide works. I'm not going to argue with people who express opinions without trying and consider themselves smarter and more prepared than others.
@solocchi
So you did it! But what did you gain? You are unlocked.
Please do this:
Make your own thread for your exact X variant & carrier. Warn others of the risks for other phones. Then "have at it!"

Opinions are one thing, but you are recommending downgrading to people, just because it worked for you. Which can, and has bricked many Moto X's. It's all over this section, threads and posts from members who tried and bricked. Some never could fix their devices.
I REALLY hope you understand that you simply got lucky. Great! But now since you got lucky, you are advising people to downgrade as tho its perfectly safe. My friend, that is incredibly irresponsible. And how will you feel when they come back to you and say their phone is bricked? Will you have it repaired for them?
I hope you get my point. You got lucky, as have some others.... But far more people, on XDA anyway, did not get lucky. Google "moto x bricked xda" to see the stories.
I hope you will reconsider advising people to downgrade, and just count yourself lucky and keep it to yourself. Again.... Unless you want to compensate the people who try and fail. ?

Guys, don't listen to solocchi - I think he wants people to brick their devices.
You want freedom of speech solocchi? You got it. But you had better not expect people to not disagree with you. We have freedom of speech too.
Hey guys: I put my phone in the microwave for 60 seconds, then under water for 5 minutes. Then I dropped it and stepped on it.
It still works fine and it's totally safe!! Now who wants to try??
LOL
Disclaimer: don't actually do this.
Now see what I did? I followed the rules by adding a disclaimer as required by XDA.
P. S. No, it's not freedom of speech here. This is a website, ran by people... People who make and enforce rules . Passing out dangerous or malicious advice can get people in trouble. Trust me. ?
Don't worry guys, with the factory reset I'm happy
As the title suggests I have the Moto G 2014 XT1064 running system version 21.11.23.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US retus Build number KXB21 .85-23
I'm inquiring about not seeing an OTA on my phone or anywhere on the site. Have you guys any news on this matter?
i am having the same problem ... have you solved it yet ? aparently we have the oddballs lol
Same here just got mine from bestbuy and no ota yet.. Makes me sad but loving the phone so far!

There is a downgrade protection that does not let you flash previous firmware which is only bypassed by boot loader unlocked. There currently is no way to relock until newer firmware comes out.
My patience has wore thin day by day.
What's the heck wrong with Motorola?
I think they were working on the memory issue before re-releasing the OTA update. Still, I'm surprised it's taking them this long.

No i didn't, one of my 2 G stuck on the 21.11.23. However, I just have a chat with a motorola customer service. Giving them the IMEI, and he/she confirms me that the batch update for my specific phone will be delivered within next-week, which is not a so bad news.
So if you're out of patience. It's a good way to contact Motorola
Let's hope that s/he tells you the truth.
Please let us know on or before 1/19, which is Monday after next week.
All fingers crossed.
Makes me glad I did not wait. Been on 5.0.1 for 3 weeks now
I can't wait too, it's making me so frustrated, hope they release it soon...
LOL
How sick Motorola is!
Others do have 5.0.2 and a lot of us still stuck with 4.4.4.
Even the older version of XT1063 does have Lollipop but the new ones.
Beautiful!
Alright, there is a new, hopefully it's a good news.
I don't know when it was happening but this morning, I checked my dad's xt1063 (21.11.13) and bam, there is an update to 22.21.28. I have not updated it yet, will do after work.
Also, I haven't checked my mom's xt1063 (also running 21.11.13) so I don't know the update is only on Dads or both.
Will report later.
As I expect the unexpect, my Dad's is ready to go but my Mom's is still stuck with 21.11.23. LOL
Weird!
Hell, it's ugly.
I wouldn't do it on my Mom's even when update is available.
try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q8oTgd1G0s and let us know (read the video comments for updated info)
yeaah
hello i just got receive the update message on my xt1063 21.11.22 but i choosse "later" because i am root, should i have to unroot firt before update or not?
I'm getting very little and conflicting information on the matter. I'm starting to wonder if something is wrong with my phone. This is because I get the sense that the European user base for this model is incredibly small and I fear Motorola may have just forgotten about us.
I would need someone who has a XT1068 (that's the dual-sim version) and who brought it in Europe to confirm whether he/she has received any lollipop update through regular OTA.
I understand Indian users have gotten lollipop for at least a few weeks now, and that you can flash lollipop on XT1068 whether European version or not.
Also if you're someone who has kept track of different OTA's for the different models/regions, please let me know if I should start being impatient or if you have educated guesses about when European dual-sim users should expect an OTA. Thanks.
If you read post #71 and #83 here you´ll see ,that there still is no release date for the european XT1068 Dual-Sim:

Til now there is no OTA for this phone, no soak,no official. Motorola just says that they are working on it and it´ll be soon,whatever that means. I´m on 21.11.23 titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03.reteu,Build Nr. KXB 21.85-23, bought by Amazon germany and getting kind of imapatient....

I was a nexus 5 user 2 weeks back and among the first to run android 5.0 lollipop (obviously i flashed factory image , prior to that i used dev preview )
I never had the memory leak but yes the battery life became awful....wifi battery drain was also present and pretty random in nature... So exchanged it wid my not to geeky bro as i needed a dual sim phone.
If moto fixes those issues...then i guess the wait for the update is worth...
I'm convinced it will be a worthy update! ?

Thanks for everybody giving his own perspective. It's nice to see there are others running "reteu" who are all waiting for lollipop.
No update in Portugal yet.
I'm also with "reteu" and KitKat - XT1068. See there: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/edc7501cc4?page=21
I think that is good news. Also today I receive a few updates from Google Play and right now the launcher app drawer and folder is like Lolipop launcher. Maybe Lolipop is near.
I'm in Spain, I opted-in to become a tester in MFN, but I haven't recieved any updates.
Guess we are going to wait a little longer here in Europe...

Hi guys, i see that many people got the update but most of them are with 21.11.23... Did someone with 21.11.14 got the Lollipop update?
I also have 21.11.14 but i didn't receive the update yet.
One more 21.11.14 retde and still no update here.
Same here, German version. I'm actually considering to unlock and flash the official ROM. But I guess I'll just wait in a couple of days.

I was on 21.11.14 european retail and I already switched to 5.0.2 manually last Sunday.
Well, I have to say that the main difference is the memory managment. On Lollipop is way better, I absolutely confirm that :victory:
Not the same thing and my method is completely different

Sorry to say but the soak test, indian OTA capture , official Full firmware and currently rolling out OTA of lollipop 5.0.2 for XT1068 IS the same firmware.. LXB22.46-28 build date Jan 6th
Its just delivered by different ways and installed by different methods.
even the regional versions of XT1068 i.e retgb , retde and retbr etc will most probably have been based on this 5.0.2 RETAIL ALL firmware if they follow the same structure as 4.4.4 firmwares
HINT MOTOROLA i'm still waiting FOR UK (GB) version.
I'm currently looking at the Brazilian 5.0.2 xt1068 firmware to see what regional changes are applied compared to the RETAIL ALL 5.0.2 xt1068 firmware.
