[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] US Cellular Moto X 2nd Gen 5.0 Update

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any way I can get Lollipop running on my US Cellular Moto X (2nd Generation). As far as I know they haven't pushed out an update and they've been pretty quiet if they even will. If anyone knows, let me know! Thanks!

It's possible to get 5.0 on XT1093, but buggy and difficult. Not really worth it IMO. The Liquid Smooth, CM, Ressurection, etc custom ROMs will work for you though.
A little birdy whispered in my ear it won't be too much longer before Lollipop officially comes to USCC's Moto X 2014...

I agree they haven't been known for timely updates for most devices. However, they have done very well with Moto X and Nexus 6 so far, and considering Lollipop is currently running on LESS THAN 0.1% of all Android devices it's safe to say they're not exactly "behind" on the Moto X 2014 either. They got the original Moto X updates extremely quickly, faster than or on par with major carriers in fact.
I have heard that Lollipop soak testing is underway for our device. I'm not a soak tester myself, but this is what I have heard.

Now that soak is over, soak testing started 1/16, probably the reason you missed getting in. borxnx was right on the money! I'm pretty happy with how fast Motorola got the soak out and final firmware. I can tell you that Lollipop runs like a dream on the XT1093, and you are all in for a treat!

Before you accuse me of cheating, try reading my original post more thoroughly. I was part of the soak test! Also, if you looked at my original screenshot, the baseband alone would show you that it was developed for US Cellular (USC). I have posted the rest of the screenshot so there is no doubt in your feeble mind that I am running official firmware! Also, this firmware was the final soak version. I do not know if the OTA will be a different version from what I currently have, as I have not received the OTA myself. I hope this satisfies your pessimism.

I won't receive OTA because I am in different system. My phone is XT1097 and now is XT1085 (chinese). that's why I was asking about where you get the firmware because I want an american image to test the moto voice, chinese version is not working properly, but I see your post below that you are in soak program.
Just a comment, no matter if you are in chinese, american, european you can always have your original baseband with different system, even when is not meant to use it, that's why we asked about it.

so, you loose signal at all. is weird, because the OTA has patchs for every partition, even for the modems, in you case you have a problem with the modem, you need to flash your stock modem (NOH and fsg.mbn files) via fastboot
Hope this help you

Maybe he can help you. He has the stock firmware. You only need to ask.
By the way, if there is any system image of your phone out there you can use the modems, is indifferent if is kit Kat or Lollipop, they will work in both systems.
Good luck

Yes and that's because you are trying to flash and old stock recovery version, if you want to downgrade you have to use different steps here is the post

In your case you only need to flash the NOH and fsg files. By now I am not at my computer but here is my post check the steps to recover signal after an OTA update

Samsung Note 8 ROOT on Snapdragon update?

I know there's a root method out already, but I prefer to hold off given the potential limitations (especially the battery 80% issue).
Based on your experience, do you think there will be a better root method coming out soon?
Thanks!

What that means is no one has been able to find a workaround (engineering or otherwise) or not smart enough to figure it out yet and they're not clairvoyant enough to know if anyone can in the future. But I think it's a great question that I had actually been wondering myself.

Soon? absolutely not. I recommend backing up your stuff using samsung cloud and trying the root to see how it affects you. Exynos has a Unlocked BL HOWEVER it does not work on CDMA carriers.

thanks for all the responses. very much appreciated.
i'm on Tmobile, so maybe i should get the exynos version if that root works better?
also, which phone/brand is easy to root?

if you get exynos there's a chance you'll have the issue where you have to wait 7 days to unlock your bootloader, you can get the korean version which comes unlocked out of box.
If you're not looking to deal with this kind of risk then go for pixel line, one plus 5\5t when it comes out, not sure what else really, the essential phone should have unlocked bootloader and roms soon as they've promised to release the source code and image files.

Flash Android One (Project Fi) to regular Moto x4?

Hi guys,
Is there an option to flash Android One (Project Fi) to regular Moto x4?
Reef2009

Not now, but I really want it. Is very dificult to get a Moto X4 version Android One outside of USA... :crying:

No, but a guy in the custom roms thread was able to flash the retail Moto x4 ROM onto his Fi phone (as a last resort to recover his bricked device).

I really want this feature in moto... As I don't know the regular moto will get updates like Android one or not, as I know obviously the Android one get updates faster but the regular version will get same updates even if its late or if the Android one version will updated we can update the regular moto with root and custom recovery. Thanks in advance for your answers.

I don't think you'll ever be able to apply Android One Updates to a Retail model phone (even with root and/or custom recoveries). They are just too different in some basic /system features. In fact, right now; just rooting the phone screws up your ability to apply the updates for the Android One version TO the A1 phone. Even if you UNroot.
I just hope either the developers fix that or Motorola releases a true "factory image" that we can restore that will let us truly go "back to stock" (and begin receiving updates again). If Moto does that, you should be able to apply THAT to you Retail version (turning it into an A1 phone). That's your best hope.

This reminds me of older non-nexus phones- we would have to grab the OTA and use tools to construct the stock rom in a form that was flashable/modifiable. In the pre-lollipop? times, the patches were file based, so it was much easier to modify just specific files. The OTAs are now block based, so they just modify the atomic blocks that need changing, so you need an exact copy of the file system in order to apply the OTA.

Tmobile v40 Pie update in testing phase

Maybe T-Mobile give pie before Korea to users.

What’s the point..
The third beta for the Android 10 Q is now available, with the final release expected in August.

Just got the Pie update for T-Mobile last night. So far no problems.

Anyone else having a harder time swiping their notifications down? I notice a lot of the times it will drag down a bit then bounce back to the top so I have to try and swipe it slowly and deliberately to make sure it pulls down sometimes. Never had this issue before the Pie update. Not a huge bug but pretty annoying and it happens at least once or twice a day.
