[Q] Stock Lollipop Update

Hello,
I can't find a thread on any information about a Motorola rom lollipop update for OG Moto X. Did I miss it, or is there really no news about it? Google really isn't helping here, it's a mix of Moto X 2014 information and news reports that say it's happening from the beginning of November.
Thanks :good:

I just asked an agent of Moto. He said that the update might be available within 10 days.
However, Moto hasnt officially given any information....

Who knows? So glad I forked out the extra cash for a "developer edition". Kinda thought timely updates would be included lol.

Lollipop source came out about a month and a half ago, the 2nd gen Moto X and G are still the only phone outside of Nexus and GPE that has a wide rollout of Lollipop. Given that the Droid Turbo is getting updated soon, I'd guess the 2013 phones will be getting updated at the end of December or sometime in January, still ahead of most other devices, and before anything else from last year. People need to learn WTF patience is.

Nope.
Developer Edition of the 2013 X doesn't get updates any faster.
See the discussion starting at Post #4 of this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/xt1058-to-xt1053-developper-t2967009

If anything, developer editions are LESS likely to receive updates in general (e.g. Samsung)

Which doesn't hold true with the Moto X or Motorola in general since the release of the Moto X.

Guess you didn't read http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/xt1058-to-xt1053-developper-t2967009 starting with Post #4 like I suggested to hlaalu. In particular Post #6 Otherwise you would know that statement doesn't apply to the 2013 Moto X Dev Editions.

Do you have stock or custom recovery? If custom you will want to flash your stock recovery before taking a OTA.

[Q] Why Moto X (2013) 16GB can't be bootloader unlocked?

I have search in XDA with no results. I have a Moto X (2012) XT1060 standar version 16GB [Carrier VZW]. I request for a bootloader unlock in motorola's webpage but this model is not listed. I tried using WinDroid and the page said that this device can't be unlocked.
Remember this is not a Developer Edition, it's a 16GB version unlocked band to any carrier, it was from VZW.
And is not only me, many users have the same problem, they can't unlock their devices.
Why? and is there a solution... How?
Thank you for you attention.

You can thank big "v" for that. They, along with att I believe, restrict Motorola from giving out the bootloader unlock codes. Mind you that's different from a phone being "carrier unlocked." With the China middleman mia, your only current option is to try and use sunshine 2.0. If that doesn't work then you will have to wait for sunshine 3.0 which is said to be released "soon" but don't ask what exactly that means. In the meantime, don't update to official lollipop should it be released before sunshine.

Don't forget Republic wireless... (The big 3 that can't unlock are Verizon, ATT and Republic Wireless)

And its not obvious, but its discussed in -> [One Stop Shop] How to root the Moto X - Let's end the confusion.

Hi, I have tried using Sunshine 3.0.3 and it Force Closes during 2nd compaibiltiy test. "unfortunately , SunShine had stopped"
XT1060 4.4.3 VZW - Rooted
Anyone have any ideas? Is their a link available for the 2.0 version somewhere, I don't see on their site.

4.4.3 on a Verizon XT1060? I think that is a typo.
THe Verizon XT1060 never had 4.4.3, only 4.4.4, 4.4.2, 4.4, and then the couple of 4.2.2 versions.
If you have 4.4.4 Sunshine likely wont work.
If you have 4.4.2 and have never upgraded to 4.4.4, then Sunshine should do the trick.

goto their page and live support, the dev fixed it for me and gave me a special version, he said it would be patched into 3.04 or 3.0.5 yesterday anyways, so you may want to goto the site and see if it's updated.

Not better than a $100 mint condition non-dev edition, which now has an unlocked bootloader thanks to the wonderful support from therootninja (as gchase23 suggested, they hooked me up with an older version that works with the Moto X with 4.2.2).

[Q] Moto x Verizon OTA 5.0.2 update

Hello everyone,
I have several Verizon variants of the Moto x (XT1096) all on stock 4.4.4. In all of them I am offered the OTA to 5.0.2 which is 678MB. I don't want to download sooo much times the same OTA for each one. Is there a way to capture the OTA to apply it to the rest of the cellphones?
Thanks in advance!

You can use Motorola Device Manager to update your phone from your PC or Mac. More info at the Motorola site: How do I update the software on my phone or tablet using a USB cable? There is a link on that page for the software download page.

I thought 5.02 was the current Verizon version. I just got my XT1096 a week ago from Asurion as a replacement for a dropped XT1060Dev. It had 5.02 installed when I got it. The fxz from which we have made our mofo images is 5.02. I had presumed that the 2nd gen MotoX (which I wasn't following closely until very recently) had gotten its 5.02 update a while ago and the OP of this thread had just not taken it.

Another thought here. Aren't OTA updates usually free, in other words they don't count against your data usage?

No, it is 5.0. Go to Settings, About Phone on your phone and what does it say? Mine says 5.0.

You're right, I stand corrected. I really thought when I got this phone last week that I looked and it said 5.0.2 With the previous 1st gen MotoX I was running cm 12.1 which was 5.1 Lollipop and had previously been 5.0.2 so that might be where my confusion come from as well.

The first generation Moto X (2013) are still on 4.4.4. They are getting 5.1 soon though, probably sooner than the MX14 b/c I suspect Verizon is not going to give the MX13 HD Calling so it will be a quicker process for Verizon to test the OTA for the MX13. It really sucks if the MX13 won't get HD Calling but Verizon is not giving the iP5s HD Calling so I doubt that the MX13 will get it either. Also, if you noticed the announcement of the 5.1 update for the MX14 did not include the Verizon XT1096, just TMobile, AT&T and PE. I am sure that is due to Verizon.
Anyhow, the reason I asked this is b/c if the OP is being offered a 5.0.2 update, I doubt he has a Verizon SIM card in his phone. If it is the 5.0 OTA, then yes, but 5.0.2 no. I don't know what would happen if he tried to take a 5.0.2 OTA on a Verizon MX14. I worry that he would brick but maybe it would check the model number and then abort the installation.

Yes, I'm watching that. Since the XT1096 is still a current Verizon phone, hopefully they won't hold it up too long!

Can I upgrade to Marshmallow with an unlocked bootloader?

I have the droid turbo xt1254 and it is bootloader unlocked with sunshine, but it is saying that there is no update available. So can I upgrade to marshmallow being bootloader unlocked? Sorry if I sound stupid.

You can once its released and someone makes a twrp backup of it but as of now we are still waiting. Sounds like it just got released for the Brazil moto maxx so hopefully we are not far behind. Although if you don't care about and official release and want to run a marshmallow ROM there are two over in the moto maxx forum that are both stable you can go check those out.

Can't be done. Unlocked bootloader is necessary for this phone to write to system. Right now (on Verizon/Motorola Marshmallow update) you couldn't unlock the bootloader, even if you wanted to.
Whereas BEFORE the Marshmallow update you could have easily rooted the phone after unlocking the bootloader.
THEN, you could have fearlessly updated to Marshmallow and still retained the unlocked bootloader and all rooting rights.
We told everyone to unlock before updating, if they ever wanted root.

Why didn't you unlock before updating to Marshmallow? You've had since November 2015, when Sunshine team cracked the Droid Turbo bootloader. Marshmallow was released early December 2016. And everyone was warned to stop procrastinating and unlock the bootloader, before taking that update.
If you only bought the phone in the past month and it was already on Marshmallow, then your fault for not researching prior to buying -- IF that is so important to you. It's been discussed over and over and over in this forum.

Haha I think my youtube responses made him mad. I guess they were kinda dickish. In my defense though, when people keep asking the same question over and over again, I have to do something to keep it interesting.

I was already unlocked before the mm update and lost root ....I'm STILL unlocked (bootloader) how do I get root back?

Flash the older beta SuperSu 2.72 for initial root. After you reboot and confirm root, then you can update to the latest SuperSu. It's mentioned in all the 6.0.1 update threads.
You can find it here:

Yes. You download and install via TWRP. How did you get root before?
Do you have TWRP custom recovery? And if not, why not?
Your bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is amazing, even just for being able to go back in time to undo any mistakes (restore backup). But also lets you flash zipped files like SuperSu.

You'll need a computer to get TWRP on there. After that, you won't need one anymore. You need to download the TWRP image you want, copy it into the same folder as fastboot.exe and flash it using the command fastboot flash recovery [twrp image file name].

Since someone dug up this old thread, let me reply to my own post from several months ago, as it's now outdated. As of right now, Sunshine CAN unlock any Droid Turbo bootloader from the past two years. And if you have firmware before that (older), just update to more recent.

Don't ask how you got it? OK, I won't, but you are implying less than honest effort.
However, you managed to get the ONE Quark with a Verizon locked-down bootloader. Why didn't you get a better one? Better for your purposes which is to avoid paying anything.
You live in Latin America, and somehow ended up with the U.S. Verizon Droid Turbo XT1254. Whereas, the Moto Maxx XT1225 is the Latin America Quark with the FREE bootloader unlock code. (Moto Turbo XT1225 was sold in India, but is the exact same phone as the Moto Maxx XT1225)
The Moto Maxx XT1225 was sold in at least Chile, Brazil, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. I bought THREE of these "Latin America" phones and I live in the U.S. Sort of the opposite of you! But I bought the "Latin America" Quark because it was the better phone for me -- unlocked bootloader and has all the AT&T LTE bands. (I wouldn't mind paying for bootloader unlock if I had to, what was important for me was the AT&T carrier bands.)
Venezuela is right next to Brazil, and the same continent as Chile. Why are you getting a United States Droid Turbo, when don't need CDMA bands and the Latin America Moto Maxx XT1225 is a much better phone for you with free bootloader unlock? (Yes, all the Quarks have the popular Latin America LTE bands 3 & 7. But the XT1225 is also "better" because of more HSPA bands, and 64GB storage. Most of the used Droid Turbos popping up in other countries seem to be 32GB.)
Next time, if you care about free bootloader unlock, don't get a Verizon phone. There's other Quarks, and even other phones. You're lucky there's any bootloader unlock at all for the Droid Turbo -- and that's only thanks to Sunshine. Many people are grateful to the Sunshine team.
But no one forced you to "buy" (steal?) this phone in South America. So, no -- no one is going to pay for your Sunshine bootloader unlock.
