Yes. But there is way to install OTA from adb sideload.

If that's true I prefer staying on stock, since that phone has a lot of power into it. Thanks for your answer though !

I used TWRP to install Magisk, but I did not flash TWRP and got one OTA update for my reteu 8.0 device.

Firmware update...

Hi all,
Currently receiving an OTA alert about firmware 22.41.24.en.gb. Anyone know what this is? 5.1? Can't install as I am currently rooted with custom recovery and xposed framework. Is all I need to do to install change to the stock recovery?
I've got this update as well this morning. Also rooted with TWRP. I'm no expert but I would say we need to wait for someone to make an update we can flash from recovery.
What is your model?

Locally I have stock image + ota
I can upload ota but for apply it you have to use everything stock
I removed root via super su app menu and reflashed the stock recovery.img before accepting the upgrade.
Then once the update installed ok I put TWRP and root back on the device.

Now that you have ota installed, can you tell me your system version and build number? I have 22.21.28.thea_reteuall.en.EU retfr system version and LXB22.46-28 build number and I didn't receive any OTA upgrade notice. I have not done any mod (root, custom recovery...) to stock
OTA Fails
Damn, even after full unroot and flashing back the stock recovery the OTA fails... And I can't really read why.
Except for root, I installed system settings Tasker plugin and converted it into a system app as well as froze some CN bloatware apps with TB. I will now reflash twrp and reroot and first try to unfreeze and as a last step uninstall the Tasker plugin.
If anybody has some solid experience, please share and maybe save me some time.
Thanks!
UPDATE: Alright, that all didn't work. I realized that the tasker plugin does not copy anything to the system, but I had a Helper app from PinTasker there which I deleted. And I unfroze all the apps and did a full unroot, but still no luck. I don't know what to do anymore now except for going full back to stock (no gapps), but I would rather avoid that if possible.
Still, glad for any input on this matter!
Thanks

My phone was retgb so I flahsed retgb [emoji14]
Is there a way to flash the modem and bootloader from the OTA file through adb?

Hi, is it possible to flash the stock retgb firmware (on locked bootloader) if the phone came with the retde firmware? Since they are exactly the same model (xt1072) and both firmwares are digitally signed by motorola.
I ask cause the retde hasn't received this ota update yet, and if I switched it to the retgb i could get the ota update right away for the newer modem and bootloader before i unlocked and got cm.
Thx

[Q] How to update from 4.4 to 5.1 properly ?

Hi everyone,
I know there is a lot of answers on this forum but it's difficult to find exactly what I ask.
My (european) Moto X 2014 (XT1092) is still in Android 4.4 rooted, with unlocked bootloader and no recovery.
I would like to update to Lollipop 5.1, be rooted and with Xposed installed. I don't want to brick my phone, and I would like some advices on how to do that, what are the steps ?
Thanks
If you haven't already update to 5.0 you could flash 4.4.4/5.0 and then OTA to 5.1

Do I have to unroot my phone before flashing or something like that?
No,flashing will unroot your device.Backup before.

Ok thank's ! By backup you mean manually or use an app to entirely backup the system and data ?
Do I have to root the phone on 5.0 and then update to 5.1 ?
You can fastboot boot twrp and make a backup,just to be safe,it's not mandatory. Flash 5.0 and then check for update.

Ok ! But if I want to be rooted on 5.1 Do I have to root it on 5.0 and then update to 5.1 (will it keep the root ?) or root on 5.1 (if it's possible) ?

[Q] Should I root on android 4.4.4 or on 5.1?

Hey guys,
I have a Moto X 2013 (XT1052) and today I recived the notification for the OTA update to android 5.1 , I'm currently running stock android 4.4.4 with an unlocked bootloader. So my question is, should I root now on android 4.4.4 or install the update and root on android 5.1?

you will likely lose root taking the OTA update.
Since you have an unlocked bootloader, Take the 5.1 OTA, then after taking the OTA you may root by following -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/instructions-unlocking-rooting-dev-ed-t2649738 Please be sure to use the latest TWRP fastboot IMG file (Alternate Link) and Installable ZIP of SuperSU

I flashed TWRP-2.8.6.0-Ghost.img to my Moto X, but now I can't boot into recovery and everytime I restart my phone it needs to optimize apps and that takes ages. Do you have any idea's for how to solve this?
Edit: Never mind, I figured it out and successfully rooted my phone! Thankyou for your help.

OTA's with Unlocked Bootloader

Hello, I have a simple question:
My XT1068 has stock 5.0.2 with latest update, unrooted and stock recovery but with unlocked bootloader.
''When'' we receive android M or any OTA, will I receive it? If so, will I be able to update it normally? (no manual flash, etc)
Thanks

Some questions

I got my device on next week and I have some questions:
If I want root, I need to unlock bootloader?
I got OTA updates if my bootloader was unlocked? and what about TWRP?
I can install OTA update on TWRP without data loss?
If my phone is rooted I need to install OTA only with TWRP?
Thanks.

Ota still downloadable after unlocked BL and yes you can install ota on twrp without data loss (correct me if im wrong)
So doing adb sideload first to 4.0.2 and unlock my bootloader and install twrp with root?
I am afraid to brick my phone (many users here brick this phone)

Bricking your phone while rooting is actually a very rare thing.
So doing adb sideload to 4.0.2 or flash twrp on 3.5.4
And after that install 4.0.2 clean with this?
