Stock firmware response from Motorola - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how long it takes to get approved to download the stock firmware from Motorola's Google Drive? I would have figured it'd be pretty quick, but it's been a couple hours so far.

I'm pretty sure it's a manual process on their end, so I wouldn't expect anything until at least regular office hours in their hq time zone.

Yip, normally quite fast.

Sorry, but how can one download an official stock firmware from Motorola's Google drive?

One of the pages in the process of getting your unlock code has a link to the firmware downloads.
Also, my request was granted yesterday.

first request i didn't get anything from motorola.
then i requested again, after 15minutes i got email from motorola

VZW Halts OTA

I just got off the phone with VZW. Apparently, they've stopped rolling out the OTA because of "software issues," though he didn't specify beyond that. So, for all of you who have been waiting for the OTA over the past few days, off the top of his head, the tech guesstimated it'll be around a month before they begin rolling it out again. Lame.
Edit: You can still install the .217 leak...but if the update has been pulled for software issues, that obviously means .217 is no longer the official OTA.
What? thats BS! even though im on Eclipse ICS 1.2, its still BS for anyone still on GB!

Yeah, I've been mashing the "systems update" option habitually now for a couple days, but also avoided just manually updating to the .217 leak for this very reason. Either way, it is kind of disappointing.
honestly, if I were you, I would jump on either the 217 leak, or if you want a custom rom that's slightly themed and has extra features/no bloat, go with Eclipse
It wasn't supposed to be released for the general OTA, they did that on accident, only people who were signed up for the motorola feedback network test were supposed to get it, but for some reason they pushed it to all devices. It should be officially pushed in a week or so, because it appears the soak test isn't showing up any major issues.

EDIT: Did NOT work
I called VZW tech support earlier today because it was not working and they did not mention anything about it being halted, but it probably depends on which tech you speak with.
I am not sure if this works or not but the guy I spoke with did tell me that performing a factory reset can sometimes trigger the upgrade. I don't have anything on there that I can't live without or easily re-install so I am going to go ahead and give it a shot.
EDIT: Just tried above. Did NOT work

As mentioned above, there was no planned general release yet. Moto did a release for "a few thousand" phones, of which only a small portion are official MFN soak testers. The test will end soon, and it looks like no show-stopper issues have been found, so, if things go as usual, the general release will roll out, probably in groups, over the next several days.
Sounds like the OP spoke to someone in VZ who really didn't know why the release wasn't available and made something up. (And I bet you never thought a VzW rep would do that!)
Keep in mind, even if they had decided to halt it due to a showstopper bug, they've already released it to several thousand owners. Which means they're obligated to provide anyone on .217 with a way to get back onto the upgrade path, if they decide to release a newer update down the road.
All in all - if you're impatient, just install the current .217 files - you'll still be able to upgrade again later if you need to.
Btw: I'm on it now, and I ABSOLUTELY HATE the Dialer and Contacts being split apart into totally separate apps. I always hit the Dialer icon first, and then if I can't remember a person's phone number, I now have to back out of it and look up the contact first. Whereas on GB I just had to select the Contacts tab and go on. So from a human interface perspective, this new design sucks.

When your in at the dialer screen just push menu then search it goes to your contact list. So its a matter of hitting 2 buttons but you can get to it from dialer. I also miss the other way but im getting used to this and it doesnt bother me anymore

It's happened to me twice now in the last two days that I was unable to hear the people calling me. Switching to speaker mode or rebooting the phone fixed this. Actually only rebooting. Alternating between speaker and normal mode is just a temporary fix as long as I'm in speaker mode. Plug in the headset and it works. Take it out en again no sound... I think it happens after I use BT.
Maybe people who are on this update officially could raise a bit of fuss about this and ask to be put back onto Gingerbread?
As we all know this currently can't be done due to the highly restrictive bootloader, perhaps we could wangle a better bootloader out of this?

Well, we can certainly dream, but given a choice between unlocking the bootloader and shrugging apologetically and insisting nothing can be done, I'm dead sure Verizon will require Motorola to do the latter. :crying:

You didn't. .217 is .217 no matter how you got it. Anyone on the "leaked" .217 is on the official update path as that is what was pushed as OTA.

RAZR M - Debug Build

The last debug build that was released (As far as I am aware).
WARNING: This is be a full debug version and logs everything. I am scripting up a way to disable debug logs and remove the developer crap. Will not upload until I have that, you don't want this if it's all on, it's barely useable and I dont' want this on since it can be traced back to the origin.
Build= userdebug-4.0.4-7.7.1Q-144_SMQ_S1-25-27-test-keys-Verizon-US
Version also released to devs: userdebug-4.0.4-7.7.1Q-144_SMQ_S1-30-32-test-keys-Verizon-US
Full RSDLite flash version is COMING SOON. PM me if you want a crack at the files before I drop them or want to help me strip these down, I need to remove the developer ID code so that the "originator" is not identifiable.
I can strip the specific .IMG files out - Has unlocked bootloader.
TBH has some considerable experience with test keys builds for other Motorola devices and we would love a chance to take a look at these files.
We also have a number of OTA updates for various test keys builds that we cant use unless we have a full XML zip build to start from.
I am still waiting for my dev edition M to be shipped by Motorola. It was supposed to arrive today but has been delayed till the 24th for unknown reasons.

I Know my bad I read deeper into it after posting this sorry. But for $550 and no contract? You can be my guest lol. Plenty of phones have done well without an unlocked boot loader. Even if root cannot be accomplished for a while, I'm almost positive were gonna get cm10 soon its just a matter of time. I'm happy with the phone as is anyway. I guess time will tell.

Developers familiar with the Moto Builds are using the files. Since it's pre-release files don't expect miracles but they might help them to understand a few things. It's a small step but a step nontheless.

[Q] Can't update to JB through Cheesecake

Hi guys. I did something a little dumb. I was on a marching band trip, and on the bus ride, I thought, "Oh, while I'm in the middle of no where, why don't I OTA to Jelly Bean? That'll give me something to do." So I figure out PCA and get it all set up, and when I reboot and check for updates it says Heck yeah theres an update. So I select to do it over 4G, thinking sweet, I don't even need wifi.
Well, it doesn't ever download, because it wants to wait for non peak hours. Sure, thats fine, I can wait till I get home I guess.
When I get home, it connects to wifi and sits there. It doesn't do anything. Its not even peak hours, might I add, its like, 2 in the morning. Me being a very impatient person, I think "Im sure rebooting will fix this" (because you know, when your semi legit phone hacks dont work its a great idea to kill power). When I turn it back on the notification is gone. I go back to Check for Updates and it tells me Currently downloading update.
Well, I go to bed, it sits on the plug all night supposedly downloading this update, but when I wake up, nothings happened, and it still says Downloading update. Keep reading, it gets worse.
I think to myself, Oh snap, I messed it up by rebooting. Whatever, I'll just run PCA again, factory reset, and check again. So I do that, and when it finally settles down I check for updates and it straight up says "Check for update is not available at this time. Try again later."
And that's it. No matter what I do, I can't get off this message. Does anyone have any idea what I can do?
Thanks,
Peter.
The update was taken down after just a couple of hours. A link to it is in the cheesecake thread.

It could have been deleted from the server while you were reaching home. You can go to general section and there's a thread title "cheesecake". Someone has shared the zip which you can easily apply it via stock recovery.

Stuck on 4.4

Anyone else still stuck on 4.4?
I have decided not to root my phone or flash any rom that has not been directly issued to my phone by Google. I'm still too happy with my device to mess around with that.
Therefore, I decided to create a thread for the people who are still using 4.4 because they haven't got the update yet. I'm in Malta... Anyone else?
What's better than the mutual anticipation for something new, right?
Sidenote: will the update fix Google Now not working on some devices?

Because it hasn't rolled out to everyone yet. Give it time if you don't want to sideload it.
I am on 4.4 and I could have done sideloading, but I don't care much. Been doing enough nightlies with i777 (ATT SGS2) until last month when it died. I like the pure G experience more than I thought (I thought I would go for CM11 immediately after I get N5 then Omni) and I see not much issue with 4.4. I don't use my phone to take a pic much - I have Fuji XE-1 and Canon 5D for that.
I will get it when I get it. Who knows.. Google might have really started nightlies and 4.4.3 is around the corner.
Edit: Well, it looks like they have decided to give it to me just now.
I just got my 4.4.2 ota update yesterday. Chose not to sideload like I did for the 4.4.1 update. My N4 got the ota update on Mon night (it's stock, not rooted). To some degree, it's all just a crap shoot.

There are just different roll-out schedules. Let me put it this way, I was on custom recovery and rooted, and saw I had 4.4.2 update (was on 4.4). So not wanting to mess anything up I went complete stock, though when I rebooted I saw I no longer had it regardless of pressing the update button a million times. So I just ended up side loading it. The reason why it probably was not there, is probably this:
Why is clearing Google Services Framework data is a bad idea?:
There is a myth that has been around for a few years that clearing data in Google Services Framework will get you the OTA faster. Android Engineer Dan Morrill has taken to reddit to explain why NOT to do this and why the method I've described in this thread is the best way to get your update quickly.
Quote:
Doing this changes the primary ID by which Google knows your device. As far as the servers are concerned, the device was basically factory reset. There are many downstream effects of this, but a big one is that this invalidates the tokens used by any app that uses GCM (which is nearly all the Google apps, and a ton of third-party apps.)
How apps react to GCM IDs changing varies by app. With Play Store you have to log out and log back in, I think Gmail usually handles it transparently eventually but won't get new mail notifications for a while, etc. Some apps you may have to clear data on to recover. All apps will simply stop getting GCM push-messages, until they get a new GCM ID; some do this frequently, others rarely, and some apps use the GCM ID as an ID on their own servers (as it is opaque and basically random), so other things besides push messages may not work.
Nothing bursts into flames, but it makes a ton of nuisances on the device, including some that can look pretty mysterious. Your mileage will vary depending on what apps you use.
All of this can be avoided by just doing an 'adb sideload' if you are impatient. -Dan Morrill

I am assuming it was no longer valid for me because my ID changed when I wiped my phone. So with that being said, your choices are to either wait, or side load.
4.4 as well ..I'll get the update eventually. No rush here.

common miss-conception.
sideload is just a different channel to put the damn OTA zip on your phone. there is no higher / lower rate of issues than getting the actual OTA, you will be in the same boat.
Got tired of waiting in Dallas yesterday. I know...patience is a virtue but no a strong point of mine. Wanted to check the camera out so I side loaded both updates early last night.

There are no problems with sideloading if one hasn't messed with their phone. Issues arise when one tries to sideload the OTA and they have modified files in /system.

And tell you it's TBD. My old co-worker who now works at Rogers looked into it and apparently Samsung isn't releasing that information. As he said it's policy it classify devices that don't get support as TBD as to not piss off customers. Aka it's a coin toss if they are going to release it.
AT&T isn't the same as our devices. The closest we can get is T-Mobile. If and when TMO gets the update we won't be far behind. At least we shouldn't.
Yeah, I know of that link and they have pointed me there before. I've had a dialog going with them actually. I would like to rattle their cages "in public" as much as possible and Twitter is a good way to do that. I really was surprised to just get the Note 4 about 2 weeks ago, thinking it was the current flagship phone and then find out they have no idea when they are going to release Lollipop on it. Just bizarre.
A coin toss? How can a phone that hasn't been out for even 5 months yet not get Lollipop?

I was referring to the 5.0.1 update. It's very possible they will just lazily skip it and go for 5.1
If thats the case we most likely won't see a LP update this year. Remember Samsung had the oportunity to start LP in June and it has taken them 9 months just to get to this point. Considering no Canadian Carriers have been informed of the update even arriving, meaning they have not tested them and that in turn could create another month or two of testing. It's also been disclosed that Samsung has no plans on working on 5.1 at the moment. Let's assume that they wait to give us 5.1 instead of pushing 5.0.1 out. Since they have not even started 5.1 we can assume they might start in two months (Highly doubt it would be that quick). Then if we take the first time frame we add another 9 months plus the fact they wait a month after they build (check the build logs) we are at a total time frame of 12 months out for a single update. Skipping 5.0.1 would mean a total of 21 months of development time before the first actual LP update.
Of course remember this is all assumptions and theory based on what we have seen so far and I could be totally off. At least I hope I am.

Sure hope you're wrong. LOL. I would be pretty pissed off if they don't send out a Lollipop update this year.

Yeah, I know of that link and they have pointed me there before. I've had a dialog going with them actually. I would like to rattle their cages "in public" as much as possible and Twitter is a good way to do that. I really was surprised to just get the Note 4 about 2 weeks ago, thinking it was the current flagship phone and then find out they have no idea when they are going to release Lollipop on it. Just bizarre.
A coin toss? How can a phone that hasn't been out for even 5 months yet not get Lollipop?

You'd think that right
How can one of the newest flagships not be on a higher priority?

Are more bloatwares included in this update?

Oh I know. It's OK though. I was at work with no wifi anyways (and I dont work a desk job either). I have the update downloading now though.

Just the usual AT&T crap... Google Service needs to be updated after Lollipop installs, GS took multiple attempts to finally install, otherwise you keep getting a notice that the update is required.. Not sure if was just me but I had to reboot a few times to finally get the Install option to pop up..
So far I'm liking Lollipop, Visually much more appealing..

Just updated to lollipop and I am experiencing memory leak. I performed a factory reset and is doing much better now.
