Has the Pure edition got the official OTA update to 5.0 yet? It seems At&t and Verizon have already gotten theirs 2 weeks ago, wasn't the pure edition supposed to be the first to get it? I thought that was the whole selling point of the pure edition...
It's just soke test.. Not the complete lollipop...

It has been at least 2 weeks since it has been released. I got it on my pure edition.

I have it on my pure edition. And I don't have it on my wifes AT&T Moto X. Not a big deal to sideload it or wait until it has less bugs. There is a simple solution...= SIDELOAD!!!

I'll be waiting on the OTA update to be delivered by .... OTA. I'm following this thread to try to find out when the updates start getting pushed out over air... By now, everyone must know there is a flashable version available but if you're like me you feel no need to root unlock and flash as this device works just fine as is. The Pure editions should be the first to receive the pushed updates, I'm waiting on them for two handsets...

i'm in the same situation as yours, i know, it's annoying, i want to get lollipop on my pure edition moto x, i live in colorado if that's gonna help.
i had many chats with motorola about the update and they told me that the update is being sent in patches, seems that you and me are not lucky enough to be in the first patches that receive lollipop
i just hope we'll be getting the update soon.
i check for the update more than once day in hope of getting it but there is nothing
but at least you're not the only one suffering from this, you and me are in the same boat buddy
I don't understand how at&t and Verizon have gotten the ota 5.0 update yet the pure edition hasn't how is that possible?

you dont need root to sideload the update
you just need to either copy the update file to the internal storage
power off your phone, and go into bootloader/fastboot mode (power and volume down)
then go to recovery, select apply update from sdcard
or follow the same steps except copying the files, you choose apply update from sideload
connect your moto x to the computer via micro usb
and use this command in command prompt/terminal window
adb sideload <update-file.zip>
and the update should install successfully (must be unrooted)
We shouldn't have to side load anything. The update should have been on our phones long before the At&t or Verizon one. That was the whole point of the pure edition wasn't it, to get updates much faster OTA then the carrier branded Moto X? Apparently not. Had I known that it's not the case I would have just gotten the carrier branded one...

I understand the idea of ADB side loading, and the device doesn't need to be rooted in order to do this. It shouldn't be necessary.... I see several messages per week from people who have soft bricked their phones, or worse. Usually people Flashing updates from risky sources, or the wrong versions.
The OTA update from T-Mobile is being delayed for some reason, whether it'd be to fix bugs or some other reason. Why would I flash some preliminary version only to have to flash back to 4.4.5 to get the OTA update.. Something is wrong with this picture....
What have I missed? Android 5.0 was or has been rolling out on pure edition for 2 weeks now:

[Q] Received OTA but cancelled and no OTA now
Hi, I have the Moto G XT1063. Some minutes ago I received the OTA for Lollipop 22.21.25.en.us version . I started to download it, but I wanted to grab the link using my PC as hotspot and using Wireshark but when I cancelled it I was told to go to System/Check updates to update it again later, and when I tried to update it again I got the message saying "Yout device is up to date". I tried different Wi-FI networks, USB update via Motorola Device Update but no update found.
Did this happened to any of you? Could you resolve it? How?
Thank you!
I got the OTA notification on my XT1064 earlier today at lunch. I am rooted (TWRP, Xposed, debloted) so I know it would fail anyhow, so I cancelled it...I am counting on the fact that we will have CM or slim for the phone soon.
I had the same thing happen to me for the last update when I was on vacation a few weeks ago. I had spotty hotel WiFi so I decided to cancel and try again later. Still haven't had a second chance.
Wow, WEEKS? I've already waited 6 weeks. I thought I would get the update in a day again but it doesn't look like I will.
I guess we will have to wait until the official version comes. I like how Motorola keeps their phones updated but their way of updating them is horrible and they have really dissapointed me. I hate the rollout being in phases and on top of that when I finally received the OTA after more than a month waiting and tried to update it later I cannot get it anymore! They must be joking! Besides, I don't know why they take so long! What's the mystery Motorola?
They keeping everything in secret god knows why or 2 russian engineers.
Even who is invited to soak test shouldnt talk about the update. I think they hate Europeans, because the difference between the two device (the EU version and the US one) is minimal.

Motorola does the same stage rollout update methods as Google, although personally I find Google to be much worse.
They do this to steady the flow of updates (to save their servers some stress), and to catch early bugs that are noticed by the first or second 'pool' of users.
Apple does this right in my opinion. Once an update is pushed, every single supported iOS device can update immediately.
Patience. We just need patience
It's only software...
Found a solution!
The same thing happened with me when we get the first sw update (stock launcher - Google Now launcher) I tried a lot but I was not able to update it. After 2 months I did a factory reset & then tried to do a system update & it worked I again got an option to do software update!

Sorry but I don't find what you've said as a solution. I definately don't believe that waiting 2 months after you received the update is a solution. I think that you got the OTA for a second time.
I will not do any factory reset: doing a factory reset DOES NOT do anything. In fact it changes an unique Google ID that Motorola uses to update their mobiles phones and could actually reduce your chances to receive the OTA. This was explained by a Google engineer- So for anyone reading this DO NOT FACTORY RESET your phone. Let's just wait; we are already in the batch-
You all can force OTA.
Go to settings => Apps => All => Find google service framework.
Clear cache and data of it, stop the service & then reboot the phone. Then again try to check for update.
Do it couple of times if did not work on 1st try.

NO! That's actually the same as doing a factory reset or even worse. It's a myth proved wrong. Just google "google engineer OTA" and you'll see how the rollout is done. I can't post links because I'm new here.

Thanks for letting me know, that was an interesting read.
Finally I got it today. It didn't show up as a notification but I checked for updates and Lollipop 5.0.2 was there! Jumped from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 (412.3 MB). It's very nice. I believe Motorola is rolling it out officially since it showed up in the System updates check.

Wait... So you're saying since I rooted my phone with TWRP I have to then not accept the update and THEN wait even MORE? How can I use it now? i.e. is there anyway of reverting it to where I can use the update.
i have LMY48M build number , anyone get it yet or am i better off flashing a stock image
I have a Nexus 6 on AT&T with the same build number as you. I haven't received the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update yet either. I'm new to Nexus, so I'm not sure how long it takes for AT&T accept the update. I would probably wait for about one more week and if it hasn't come to you by then, then yes, I would flash it.

I was notified that the OTA was downloaded and ready to be installed this afternoon about 4:30 PM EDT. I haven't installed it yet, I'm still waiting to see how gaining root access plays out.

same as always. if you havd root, you can not apply an ota, it wint work. if you don't have root, you can take it, then root your n6 just like any other nexus ever. 1 unlock your bootloader, 2. fastboot flash twrp recovery, 3. flash supersu in your new recovery. that never changes on any nexus, since google makes it easy for us to root.
After further reading it looks like the update I have is to LMY48W, not MRA58K.
My dad has AT&T and is still waiting for the 6.0 update on his Nexus 5. He's still on LMY48M and it says his phone is up to date. He won't let me flash the factory image for him either....
I got my Nexus 6 from Amazon but I have AT&T. Do you guys have HD Voice/VOLTE enabled? I did a live chat with them yesterday and said because I don't get my updates from them, I can't use it even though it's in my area. I have the apn nextgenphone showing up, just not getting hd voice.
I am on LMY48M as well. I bought mine unlocked from Google but am running it on Cricket Wireless. Does carrier matter on how long it will take to get pushed out?
I'm on Cricket, got a new Nexus 6, it is still on Build number: LRX22C , 5.0.1
How on earth do I make it OTA update to something newer?

Not sure why they said that...the Nexus 6 isn't listed as one of their HD Voice capable phones. Until they get their act together with that, no one on AT&T will have HD Voice on the Nexus.
I got the MRA5BK update on my Nexus 5 on 10/8 on AT&T but am still waiting for it on my T-Mobile N6 and my N9.
Mine automatically updated to 5.1.1 when I first set it up.
I just made mine update by removing the Cricket (AIO) SIM.
Stopping the google framework, clearing the data.
Performing the CHECKIN.
Then is started to 5.1 and then to 5.1.1
Seems strange why it didn't start by itself.
And then to marshmallow? If so, could you elaborate on the ?
No, sorry, it stopped at a few variations of 5.1.1
Shucks
I to have a Nexus 6 on Cricket running 5.1.1 build number LMY48T. I got mine to update by pulling sim card and leaving WiFi on through the night. Update to 5.1.1 was ready that morning

It is kinda connected though, as it looks like it depends which SIM you have inserted to whether an update happens.
The guy I was referring to said his was stuck on 5.0.1.
Hello all, I have a Nexus 6 and I'm using it on Verizon's network. I have yet to receive the Android 7.0 OTA update. Should I have gotten this already or is there something possibly wrong with my situation? I've searched online and it seems like I should have gotten the update already. I appreciate any help.
You should have had it by now (unless you have modified your phone in any way that might interfere with the OTA process)
Your best bet would be to sideload the OTA from https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Yeah, it's a bone stock Nexus 6. I got it from Amazon around this time last year, and I received the 6.0.1 OTA update and I receive the android security patch updates. Just no update to 7.0.
When my Australian carrier delays updates I used to change my SIM to a foreign one (cambodia, vietnam, thailand, or whatever) and the update used to immediately appear. The SIM doesn't even need to be active.
Now that Google publish the OTA files, it's easier just to sideload it.
Anyway, try a different SIM (t-mobile or whatever you can find locally) and see if it appears (you need to reboot). Otherwise, Verizon only just approved the update a few days ago so might take a while to roll out to you.
I think that there are a lot of N6 (mine is on T-mobile) out there that have not seen an OTA. I got the 6.01 November secuity patch last week. Was expecting 7.0.
I went ahead and did a sideload of the OTA 7.0. This won't break any future OTA updates, will it?

Ah.. I'm kind out of the loop these days, but I thought the Nexus devices got their updates straight from the Google. So I figured the carrier had nothing to do with how or when you got your updates.

The updates come from Google, but some carriers in some countries require an approval process (it's the same for Apple iphone, but is done more seamlessly and under NDA). Here in Australia, any devices sold by a carrier must go thru an approval process to make sure the software doesn't violate any compliance regulations (such as ability for emergency calling when no sim is present). Once Google get the go-ahead, they push the update to the phone with the relevant sim card in (or in some cases the IMEI). This can sometimes (dependant on current software version) be bypassed by changing the sim to one that doesnt require approval or has already been approved. Bear in mind however, you may get a software build not intended for your carrier.

Hey, thanks! I guess I just needed to wait a little while longer haha. I just finished the sideload and everything seems to be working well. Do you know if the sideload process somehow breaks future OTA updates?

Nope, the sideload doesn't break future OTA updates (however it theoretically could if you flashed a build not intended for your carrier, however usually Google just send a 'Full OTA' which a large download to your device to get it back on the correct build).
Enjoy.
I was offered 7.0 and it took rooted

I always lose root when flashing an image or installing an OTA update. It is normal for that to happen. You just need to root your phone again by installing SuperSU . The latest version is SuperSU v2.78 SR5 and can be found here.
I joined (then left) the Beta program so i can get a stable release of 7.0 Nougat a little over a month ago. Good so far but what I'm concerned about is security patches. Ever since I got on Nougat, my N6 no longer gets OTA security patches. I'm still on the October security patch. Anyone know what's going on?
Regardless, even with a mod'd phone, I got the 7.0 nag 2 weeks ago - which spurred me to wipe everything and flash it with NRT.

Thanks as soon as i have some time i will reinstall and flas..
I just got the update msg and i am afraid to update because if i do i may lose the Root and ect ha?!
I'm pretty sure you don't have the OneUI 2.5 update. Maybe the OneUI 2.1 but definitely not the 2.5 one. Even the S10/Note10 don't have it yet and we're after them. Also if you're rooted you shouldn't receive OTA updates at all. Can you attach a screenshot so it's clearer what you got?
This is what i got. May be it is or some security + software update
That was last months update.
The August update is ETH1
Ohh!!! Ok i thought it's the new one ??* if i update this i will lost root and may be boot loop?
I still think that if you're rooted you shouldn't have received this though. You sure you're rooted? Check with this app please just in case: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck
Yes. Rooted and using all rooted apps in here
