Moto X - ATT - 4.4 Update Stuck

I setup my wifes phone yesterday and then thought to check for the 4.4 update. Right now nothing appears to be happening. When I check for the update manually it says that there is an update already downloading and that I will be notified when complete. However, there is nothing in the notification tray to suggest anything is happening. This morning I woke up to a message saying that the download will complete once on wifi (but the phone was on wifi and working properly). That notification is now gone and same problem persists.
I've tried the obvious so far: Restart phone, try update using the Moto software via USB.
Level 1 tech support wants me to do a factory reset. Hoping to avoid that and the hour+ of setting up the phone again. Any thoughts? My phone is not rooted nor do I have plans to do so...

Since nobody seems to have any thoughts on this I decided to go ahead and factory reset the phone. Same exact symptom as before. Phone tells me there is an update available, I click download, nothing happens. Check the status a bit later and it says that an update is already in progress.

I'm starting to think that it's a problem with Recovery. Is it possible that these things will function normally with a broken or no recovery present? Went into fastboot and selected recovery. Instead of getting a factory reset I got a 'no command' error. Can't imagine it's possible to flash stock recovery if it's not rooted.

That's stock recovery, I think you need to hold down the volume button and then the power button and release, it should boot into recovery.
Sent on my Moto X

Hello,
I FINALLY convinced my wife to go Android. Got Nexus 7 2013 in August and she's gotten used to it. She's been IOS forever. So, her new moto x arrived Friday and we setup yestersday. Since she is OK with Nexus, the moto X will be good for her to move to. All is good EXCEPT the updates didn't download for some reason on activation yesterday. It showed it was downloading but to re-activate wifi. But, it was on?!!! Anyhow, she comes home today from her first full day at work with Triangle in notification bar to turn on wifi to download update. It's been over an hour with no movement and no status bar showing it's begun the download. I keep clicking for "system update" but says it's downloading... Status bar shows nothing other than update is ready and turn-on wifi.
Sounds like same issue as original poster. So far, wife is not happy with Android and her battery meter jumps all over place from 5% to 100%. Tempted to do factory reset but not a good way to start off as OP mentioned.
Any ideas or updates? Thanks

It seems like a dodgy or slow internet connection to me. Since you're still in download phase of the update, I don't think the problem is related to Recovery.

Identical problem here. No update so far. I did the factory reset with same results. Going to try to flash stock firmware if I can figure it out.

Wifi is not the problem. The internet is cranking and when I did the factory update it chewed through 20+ app updates in no time at all. Motorola has no idea how to help me... they just want me to send it in for repair. Such crap. I would love to try flashing stock firmware but can't seem to find any links that work.

Found the firmware. It appears my phone has the oldest build listed 139.9.51. Would it be okay to flash new build of 139.12.54?

Or does it make more sense to go ahead and flash 4.4 stock firmware?

Here is the thread that I used to fix my problem. I downloaded the stock 4.4 firmware from the link and flashed it using that technique. Phone appears to be tip-top now running stock 4.4.

Hello. Seems you fixed the problem. I question as to whether future OTA updates will download and we should return or not. Hmm..
I don't know what firmware she has. I'll have to check tonight when she gets home. Can you re-post the link?... it seems it didn't post it on the thread.

Oops: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572249
I think this is likely a temporary fix. I figure there is bound to be at least one or two more OTA's well within the warranty period... so I'll found out then if there is some other problem that needs to be addressed. Right now when I check for an update it simply says that the phone is up-to-date.
4.4.2 should be around the corner I think...

You could flash the post-camera OTA SBF and see if OTAs to 4.4.

I did originally flash 4.2 (139.12.54) to test that very thing. The OTA had the same problem. Like I said, I think
this phone will eventually get sent back to Motorola... but during the holidays I'm just going to deal with it. Besides, the
phone is running great.

I'm using the tmobile version and I'm having the same problem. Says it needs to connect to wifi to update, but its already connected. After reboot it says update in progress, but nothing happens.

Maybe it's a problem with the Motorola update servers...

I'm thinking that's probably the case since the cyber Monday promotion probably slammed them.

Glad to hear it's not just two of us..but still.... Sorry to hear of your problem too. Keep us posted.
Update on my wife's moto X. Still no update has been downloaded. She came home last night from work turn on wifi with triangle in notification. It said I have to turn on wifi to start download. It was already on have been on for a long time. So after a while I started to hit the Check Update button and also cleared the popup message telling me that one was being downloaded. (It's not) Did that routine several times. It did look like some WiFi activity was occurring based on WiFi x in symbol..but nothing. The message in notification eventually changed to the download status bar but stayed a 0 %
So, same story since initial setup on Sunday. Bummer. Not going to fiddle with any hackery. It should just work like my X does which is why she wanted it in first place and left Apple.
Will keep all updated.

[Q] Bluetooth not working/Can't pair with anything

So I've had my R for a couple of months now, and it's been working fine, until after it was updated to 5.0.2. It stopped connecting to my Nexus 6, so I reset it. After that, the Android Wear app would never find it. I've wiped my phone, tried two other phones (Nexus 5 with Lollipop, Nexus 4 with KitKat) and nothing sees it. I haven't unlocked the bootloader or anything. It just sits at the "Install Android Wear on your phone" screen. Any ideas?

I am having the exact same issue. And lately google play services and contacts and other things began randomly crashing ALOT on my verizon note 4. Nothing rooted all stock on phone and watch. Did our bluetooth radios die or is this a widespread problem with an update noone has documented yet? I need my watch lol. Any one else?

Did anyone figure out a solution to this? Is it the watch or the phone (i'm using an s6 edge)?
All i get is "install android wear on your phone" on my moto 360, and on the android wear app it doesn't find my watch. I literally cannot do anything on my watch but stare at the "install android wear on your phone" message. I only tried to reset my watch because it was connecting and disconnecting rapidly every 5-10 seconds for hours and was my last resort.
Anyone please help?!

I am having same problem as op, why would you not root again and wipe dalvik if that was working before, i have been trying to root so i can do this but i cant got stuck on twrp and would not boot to start up so i flashed everything back to normal and bluetooth will not show at all on any device...

I believe it has to do with the latest version of android wear. Ever since the last update a lot of people have been reporting the same and similar problems in the play store. A fix for me even though it is inconvenient is resitting the watch and re installing android wear. Every since the update I have to do that every couple of days.

what I do is first I unpair the watch from the phones bluetooth settings, then I uninstall android wear from the phone. Then I take the watch and I go under settings and reset the watch, once the watch is finished resetting I re-install android wear on the phone and re-pair.

ANSWER: after resetting your watch, you must unpair the watch from your phone, then go to settings/apps/android wear "clear data" . then start the whole pairing process again.

I've done every steps above: Factory reset my GWR, then on my phone I clear data in setting - apps - android wear then pair again. My GWR connect successfully but after sync app it disconnect, then my phone can not find the watch anymore.
I've done all these steps 5-6 times and the result still the same!
I dont know whats wrong with my GWR?

I have same problem
Especially when the "install android wear on your phone" text appear on watch, below it is G watch R but is there 4 digit " name" of the watch did not showed, and adroid wear not see the watch to pair.
The watch is on 5.0.2
Pls help me.

This is what happened to mine. I tried all the things mentioned in this thread, but finally the only thing that worked was a hard factory reset (swipe from top left to bottom right over the LG logo when booting) and then leaving the watch on charger for like 3 hours and finally my phone could see and connect to it. I've heard this worked for others too.

[Q] No sensors - Stock 5.1

Hi all
So I flashed LMY47I onto my Google play Nexus 6, and now all the sensors (brightness, prox, gyro) are disabled. These were working fine before the flash and flash went well.
A few apps from Google play agree that my phone do not have any sensors. This makes me think its not some hardware issues since these are independent sensors.
I have tried clean flash, full wipe, but no changes.
Any ideas? Search in the forum only returns some Samsung stuff.
Thanks in advance
2015/04/25 Update:
Reflashed a few different unofficial roms, as well as official 5.1.0 one last time with full wipe and factory reset. Nothing worked.
Since I feel like I've already spent enough time on this, I just gave up and called google. Quick 5 minutes phone call and a replacement is on its way! At least the service is good :good:

I had the same issue originally with my pre-order unit, I ended up having to RMA it. No matter what I did, I could never get the sensors to start working again. I ended up taking a friends phone, grabbing his entire partition layout and stock dump and it still did not work.

I posted on here with what I think is the same issue. I noticed it with the accelerometer first because screen rotation stopped working, then I realized the compass wasn't working either. I hadn't noticed the light and proximity sensors, but after reading your post I checked and it seems those are broken too. I see the same thing that you are; apps seem to think my phone has no sensors at all. I checked the system logs and it seems that it throws some kind of access denied error when trying to use the sensor API. I haven't been able to fix it in 5.1, however, when I first noticed the issue I flashed the 5.0.1 image and they seemed to be working again (screen rotation worked at least) so I'm pretty sure the hardware is okay. I have just been using my phone with broken sensors, but it's really annoying.

Any luck? If yes, perhaps you could try a custom 5.1 or 5.1.1 rom and see if the sensors work.
You could play it safe by flashing one of the stock-based custom roms in the development forum.

My RMA process was handled through ATT since it was a pre-order item from them originally. I ended up trying CM12, stock and reflashing the PIT, nothing seemed to correct it so I just wanted to get a new unit as fast as possible.

Didn't work unfortunately.
I've updated the op. Basically I just called up Google and asked for replacement.

Sorry to bump and resurrect a dead thread -- my accelerometer stopped working after I accidentally dropped it on my hard wood floor.
I was able to get it working again by dropping it from 2.5 feet onto my carpet. I know it sounds crazy and dumb -- but that was my last resort before calling Google for a replacement.
All is working perfectly now.
It happened when I dropped my phone in my Carved case. I have dropped it accidentally with a spigen case (2 layers) never had a problem. Not blaming the case but pointing out the correlation.

What's wrong with my Note 4? Slowdowns galore and freezing

DOK2 all stock firmware here.
Got my phone back in december. My phone has been chugging alone fine until yesterday. not sure what happened but the lock screen takes minutes to come back. I tried doing a factory reset via software and when I did that the phone was still sluggish. Tried a stock recovery reset, and afterwards when i tried signing into my account and connecting to wifi at the initial setup the phone just rebooted back to the start screen again which i thought was real odd. It's currently restoring apps from the app store right now and it intermittently reboots itself while doing stuff. all while it's completely stuttering if i try to use it...
Is my phone starting to have internal memory failure? no SD card in the phone at the moment.
Should I try reflashing the DOK2 firmware via odin and then doing a reset again? Is that even possible with all the restrictions?

used it for about 30 minutes on my way to work and then it rebooted on me with the following error :
ddi: mmc_read failed

Check this thread for a workaround. I use an app to keep my phone from going into deep sleep.

Wouldn't hurt to reflash stock. Google usually restores apps when you check box at first boot for backup and restore. I'm wondering if you installed an app that doesn't agree with your phone... if so, you may continue seeing this issue so long as app is installed.

Did a factory reset and cleared cache, reflashed stock DOK2 from sammobile website using odin, cleared cache. things were going a little bit better at first but now just stuttering all over the place and randomly rebooting still. I only have very few apps downloaded, including facebook updates, instagram, all the samsung and google crap that forces updates...
Also want to add that booting into recovery takes a very long time, longer than i've ever noticed it taking... 7 min+ sometimes it will say "installing system updates" with the android guy chugging along, other times it will just have the android guy chugging....
Is there anything else I can try? Is there something I can test to verify that it's a hardware issue and not a software problem, like a flash memory checker?
This phone is out of warranty, and knox has been tripped so I have very limited options here. Would the Tmobile store let me do an exchange for a fee?

Well, fool me once.... Having spent $800 on a phone that broke in just over a year, hell would have to freeze over before I give Samsung any money again.

News? Maybe i Hope!

So new update, says security. Well it's 1125.5 MB that's some security anyone know what it is yet?
Of course now I can edit now that's it's too late.

Ok can't edit on app. It's updated and good news is it's 7.1.1. Trouble I had was didn't realize it wasted my straight talk apn settings. New clock font on lock screen. Launcher 3 is totally different check it out is nice. Drag to left for Google now feed :highfive:

This phone is getting no XDA love.

I guess without root XDA members don't give a screw.
Fir this phone the other forum is much more active.

What are your thoughts and experiences on the update so far? WiFi seems much faster battery seems just as good.

Just got the update yesterday myself. was excited to see that it was 7.1.1 but got annoyed fast that it broke my admittedly already broken Bluetooth. (wouldn't turn on) But after backing everything up and a little bit of stumbling through the "restore" part of a full reset everything is running great as far as i can tell. I like the new launcher but i don't like that I can't do away with the "most recent" apps thing at the top. i just don't use it and don't wan't it there if I'm not going to use it.

The update broke my phone. Hooray.
**edit** Ok, so updated the phone. I got an error saying Recovery was unreadable, booted in bootloader mode... Rebooted, same thing. Shut off the phone. It recommended to use Software repair from Verizon... So plug in the USB-C, fire up the phone... It boots up to the splash screen and freeezes... Then 10 minutes later, REBOOTS TO RECOVERY?!
So I try and do what I can in recovery, but to no avail. So I reboot it again... And let it go. It bootloops 4-5 times and eventually boots up! So I thought, cool. It's fixed. Nope! I reboot, and I'm back in phone limbo. Stupid POS. :\

So I factory reset... And now the phone is even more broken than before. YAY!!!! This is the worst update ever.

Is this the one you used

There is a old version for phones before 2013 and a newer that you can full erase and install fresh

It's not working with my Surface Book. I'll have to try it from another computer at home... I have a weird behavior when I leave my SIM card and SD card inside the phone on top of that: Once every 3 times I reboot, phone doesn't boot anymore. Getting annoyed with all of this.

Do you have a spare sd sounds like it's going bad or needs to be formatted. If you can I'd wipe everything internal external and fresh install

Remove your sim car tray before boot, guess the update doesn't like our CA network (had the same issue, but did it again when I plugged it to charge this after noon)

Other threads say it's an issue with Samsung SD cards (Which I have). Whenever I boot without it, everything is fine... Problem is I still can't restore from the Software assistant app, all I can do is factory reset from recovery.

Anyone here have a Moto Z force Droid and has 7.1.1 installed? Also will need knowledge of using adb shell and linux command to dump partitions (dd). My phone is in dire need of help. :\ Thanks!

Did it fix the Bluetooth issue (what was your annyway?)
Me 2 since start of July, I got nothing but trouble with wireless... A very bad 2,4gz reception, no more 5gz visible, and no Bluetooth...
As for Verizon assistant, did you manage to make it work ? I think I'll give it a try...

After reading on Verizon website, I just realized that it takes up to a week after an update before you can use the assistant...
I also paid a premium for that samsung micro SD 128gb Evo... But also hope it can fix our z force droid Bluetooth issues...
Can't wait to see if the assistant can fix it (do you think a re-install without the SD card can change something ?)

Long trip to go across the border for Verizon... (I don't have a Verizon account) and Moto is a last resort if the software assistant can't fix my issue.

Anyone else noticing improved battery life after the update? I did a full factory reset after the update because it broke my Bluetooth but its been running great for me. Today might just be a fluke so ill keep a close eye over the next few days but so far it seems to be doing better with idle drain and drain with light usage.(web browsing, music, pictures, ect.)

I didn't get your luck, since the first small update in beginning of July, nothing but trouble, phone overheat (huge drain) reboots often (more drain) and weird unused app battery usage... Since August update, no improvement same thing...
I used to be able to make 2 days or a little more if I'm lucky... Now barely a day... ?
