So somehow I got banned for asking this on androidfourms for so I'll try here...
I have a Moto X (2013) that is on its last official Android version of 5.1. I'd like to update it to something newer for fun, but also for experience (I have some devices that I actually care about and would like some practice so I don't brick them). So could someone please provide me with some instructions to update this phone to the newest possible version? Thank you in advance!
Edit: XT1060

As far as I understand (which isn't very much, to be honest), you probably can't flash the ATT version to your phone. But if you're interested in rooting your phone and all that, you can probably flash different ROMs that will keep you up to date with the newest Android releases, like CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, AOKP, OmniROM, etc. I don't have all the technical know-how, and I won't tell you which ROMs are "best" or even which are available; you can always check out the Android Development section for that stuff.

can anyone give me some information about that
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.
Stock bootloader

To start off I have a brand new unlocked Moto G 2014 (US Version). I am looking to update to Lollipop but am rather confused about its current status. I have yet to recieve an OTA for Lollipop as of currently. Is Lollipop out to the public for XT1064 devices? I do not care for OTA versions, so if it has been released for it is there a flashable version? I have basic experience with flashing and have flashed Lollipop to my Nexus 7 succesfully. I see version numbers thrown around, for instance: "21.21.25" followed by other device info. My Moto G is currently running "21.11.23.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US retus". As a final question is Lollipop currently rootable for the XT1064 devices and how is it done? I see programs like SuperSU thrown around aswell but don't understand how these are used (I do understand what SU and SUDO are though).
Thanks in advance.
Nvm I have found it.
Nice
I have googled and looked around all over XDA. I cannot find accurate data regarding updating to 5.1 from 4.4.4.
I've been a huge fan of XDA and the devs for years. I've always been able to find what I'm looking for within minutes. But this time.... I can't. The biggest issue is when I do find something, it's either missing details or missing working links. I'm not very good at this and don't know how to find the files needed on my own. Can I get some accurate help with working links on this issue? Thanks guys!
I have a Moto X 1st Gen, Dev eddition. 4.4.4 - rooted. TWRP (can't remember what version) I had Xposed installed, but uninstalled it recently (and the modules). Do I still need to do anything to further remove Xposed?
Is your first gen dev edition an XT1053/GSM model, or XT1060/Verizon model?
I ask because the 5.1 update for the Verizon model hasn't been released yet.
As for conditions to update, see the link in my signature, it explains it all.
Hey guys,
I am thinking of rooting my Motorola X 2nd Gen and so far I have found older and more outdated ways of rooting the phone.
I have never done anything like this with phones so I will need some guidance to make sure I don't mess anything up.
I have done some research and have watched many YouTube videos on how to root the phone but many of them show the phone with older versions of Android and in the comments it says that that way of rooting the phone will not work with 5.1. If it is useful, my phone is originally from AT&T and after I finished the two year contract with them I had them unlock it and I am not with Ting. Not sure if that info is necessary but might as well provide as much as I can.
Anyways, my question for you is if there are any guides to root my phone that are current and are proven to work.
I really appreciate your time and your help.
Let me know if I can provide any more information that will help you in helping me!

You need an unlocked bootloader for that.

If you have an AT&T XT1097 and on the Android 5.1 08-01-2016 security patch, there currently is not a way to gain temproot in order to unlock the bootloader. We have to wait for tools like kingroot/kingoroot to be updated.
