I'm still stuck in the bootloop. It keeps rebooting into recovery; how were you able to get into fastboot?
[X 2014 General] edwardgtxy:
It is very tricky, since it just keeps rebooting. Hold power and vol down for a long long time, then release power button and then release vol down.
[X 2014 General] nerotix:
Wouldnt the same be possible for the XT1092 version? Like extracting the modem from the stock kit kat and then upgrade with ur OTA? Or just remove the modems from the OTA file?
[X 2014 General] drowl87:
Just wanted to say thanks!!

Thanks OP for posting! It took me a few minutes to get my adb driver working properly, but after that, no issues and I'm running tasty Lollipop!

For others users, I have the Pure edition running on AT&T. My LTE did not connect right away, but seems to be working fine after rebooting without having to flash the OP's modem image.
[X 2014 General] knitler:
I have it as a toggle.
[X 2014 General] tebower:
I just factory reset my phone, and my auto rotate toggle has appeared. I think something was borked on the install process. And not just for me, it would seem.
[X 2014 General] waallace:
even through the modem kitkat he gets no network :( unfortunately it already happened to me in the first generation .

hey guys how I have a friend that a has stock rooted pure phone and we have tried the ways post in the thread to pull the stock radio but we keep getting permission denied can someone help and let us know what we are doing wrong or what the commands are again please
[X 2014 General] edwardgtxy:
You might want to factory reset before OTA to make things cleaner. I had to reset after OTA due to some weird issues.
[X 2014 General] fairct:
Oh yeah. I plan on wiping URRTHING before I even try booting again. I'm not used to bootloops with stock recovery :P
[X 2014 General] Shaul305:
glad it worked for you too! enjoy the lte life once again lol :good:
[X 2014 General] dmbfan13:
Not sure if this has been answered yet, but for those of us who are rooted, will we encounter a problem when the OTA officially drops? Just wondering if I should look in to methods for unrooting. What are others doing?
[X 2014 General] knitler:
As the IS the official OTA... then yes you will have problems.
[X 2014 General] edwardgtxy:
Yes, I doubt motorola would "fix" the OTA for rooted devices that were not unrooted properly by supersu
[X 2014 General] dmbfan13:
What is the proper way to unroot?

Yeah, i noticed the same when i tried to download Solid Explorer unlocker. But I guess the problem went away after a phone restart or something. I don't rememer exactly after what it got fixed.

---------- Post added at 03:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 AM ----------

You may not get the official OTA upon release, but you will be able to flash it manually without any issues. So no worries.
[X 2014 General] mrvirginia:
i'm also hoping you'll make a flashable zip that will actually do a clean unroot ie deletion of SuperSU and fixing of any tampered files caused by gaining root.
[X 2014 General] graffixnyc:
Anyone know of a tool that will break up the system img into pieces so it can be flashed in fastboot? (I need something in windows)
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Haven't seen anything that'll do it. I've always just use motofastboot to flash it.

Did anyone noticed the phone bug in Android 5 update??? when you get a call from somebody, the screen is still off while the phone is ringing... and u need to unlock the device and enter ur password to be able to answer the call... its really bothering me....
[X 2014 General] heytcass:
I seem to have lost LTE in the update, and am trying to grab the AT&T radio off of Graffix's website, but it says the object has moved. Can anyone else upload? Or does someone have a backup of the stock radio to share?

Thanks.
[X 2014 General] theone_s_me:
When u was updating, did u get any failed message in patching modem?

if u didnt, just factory reset ur phone and LTE will be back.... like i did
[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
So has anyone figured out how to get this working on a device that's unlocked and has been rooted? I unrooted via supersu, full unroot, and i restored the stock recovery to it. Is there anyway to clean up whatever is causing issues with the flash? I really want to get onto Lollipop. Will a hard reset with the stock recovery full wipe and prime my device for the update? Im game for starting clean as long as i wont end in a boot loop.
[X 2014 General] theone_s_me:
it depends on what failing message u r getting... let me know and i will guide u thru he process...
[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
I haven't tried flashing it yet, wanted to verify if I could expect hell or if it was worth trying. Should I do a hard reset now, then try flashing it? Or jump right in and flash it?
[X 2014 General] heytcass:
I didn't, but I did a factory reset immediately after applying the update. Would another one fix the issue, you think? Also, when you say factory reset, do you mean the one in the recovery?

Thanks for the quick reply.
[X 2014 General] elusive-one:
I'm getting a failed message about unexpected contents in system/Gmail2.apk. I had installed some stand-alone Android L apps before unrooting and doing a factory reset. Any way to completely revert the system folder? Would re-locking and unlocking the bootloader do the trick?
[X 2014 General] theone_s_me:
First thing to do... Boot to TWRP recovery 2.8.0.1 and take a full backup for ur phone (so if something wrong happens u can always go back to a working bootable condition). After u do that, try adb sideload the OTA thru stock recovery.... Let me know what happens with u...
[X 2014 General] rgao007:
Guys, I think I have a solution for those of us with modded systems. Would it be possible to flash the stock rooted image from the Moto X flash tool, enable survival mode in SuperSU, get stock recovery, and install from there?
[X 2014 General] theone_s_me:
Yes the one in the stock recovery.... i'm not sure if a second factory will do it but in my case the first one did it....
[X 2014 General] Nickcu13:
how do you get it to boot into recovery, mine keeps booting as normal no matter what combination of power and volume buttons i press
[X 2014 General] edwardgtxy:
Hold power and vol down or something like that.. it should stop the reboot and go into recovery.
[X 2014 General] micr0g:
Where i can find the unrooted stock system image?The only one i can find is rooted and the firmware from Motorola's site http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=37

Isnt ours xt1095 for the pure edition?
[X 2014 General] SurlyDuff:
So the Brazilian system image will work fine on XT1095?
[X 2014 General] nerotix:
Any idea how I can pull my modem from my phone? I flashed that brazillian stock once and then my SIM was read by my phone anymore. I'm pretty sure it must been the mode, so I wanna backup that first before I do something stupid.
[X 2014 General] dmbfan13:
Being that we're rooted now...will it make a difference once the actual OTA comes out?
[X 2014 General] nexus15:
I know toolkits are shamed around here but There is a toolkit floating around made by a dev on xda called MOTOX_2014_PURE_MULTI_TOOLV3 that will return your moto x 2014 to stock.

That should have a HUGE warning that its only for the Brazil model and not for xt1095 users in the USA.
[X 2014 General] edwardgtxy:
I doubt motorola would "fix" their ota for rooted devices..
[X 2014 General] thoth_19:
Dont use the ATT files. ours is xt1095

If you can get to the bootloader then your just soft bricked.

Pull down the toolkit on XDA to go back to stock., or pull the files out of the zip and use them
[X 2014 General] nakedninja42:
My pure is a lock stock build, I was able to update with out any problems. Thanks graffixnyc!
[X 2014 General] edwardgtxy:
now we need to find a ppl with stock system.img for xt1095 fast before they all used your ota...
[X 2014 General] THEindian:
Yeah, i have that. Tried to flash the system images in fastboot through mfastboot. Didn't work, now, its just on that bootloader unlocked screen and i can't get it to boot into fastboot. Looks like my moto x is completely ****ed.
[X 2014 General] graffixnyc:
He actually realized it was the wrong one.. haha He got over excited. :P

Derek Ross from Phandroid updated fine as well as a few other people. I'm asking Derek now if he was rooted prior. Maybe with all the new security crap they built into L it's not liking devices that were rooted before. I just don't get why it's working for some people and not others. Honestly this is why you ALWAYS take a nandroid BEFORE you root(when possible like it is on the moto x). I ALWAYS do this as a precaution. However, I deleted my stock back up when I sold my moto X yesterday. I'm getting another one in a few days though :P

Edit: Just confirmed Derek was fully stock. Bootloader was not unlocked and he was not rooted. So I really think it's failing on devices that have been rooted :-/
[X 2014 General] fairct:
Makes sense; I was unlocked and rooted. I used supersu unroot prior to attempting this.
[X 2014 General] Nickcu13:
finally got it to work and ADB can't find the device in recovery mode?
[X 2014 General] dmbfan13:
I still have a hard time understanding why it matters if you're rooted or not. I suppose maybe because it's trying to update you rather than install fresh.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
To those in a bootloop, could you try "fastboot erase cache" and see if that helps?

I'm starting to feel like not trying the ota or I may mess up my phone :/

[X 2014 General] fairct:
I can't stop the bootloop long enough to get to fastboot. The only thing I have available is sideload.

OP, just want to say thank you for sharing the update with us!

I was actually invited to do the soak test but had somehow missed the email. Saw it a few days later and by then the survey had expired.

Anyway, I was rooted and was able to successfully update to 5.0 by following prior directions.

Uninstalled Xposed modules, then uninstalled Xposed.

Did Survival Mode for SuperSU

Updated from stock recovery by placing the file in my SD Card directory.

First boot took a while. I have auto-rotate toggle. I initially only had HSPA but after a reboot got LTE.

That's pretty much it. All is good so far.
[X 2014 General] marcelotorres:

[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
So can we now simply flash the system.img, and boot.img in fastboot, rather than attempting the OTA? I'm still working on whether to take the plunge or not and try the OTA. I'm BL unlocked, and previously rooted, but i did full unroot with Supersu previously. I have stock recovery at the moment.

Plus, i just don't know if i have the right damn variant either, my build number is Kxe21.187-42, is that the Xt1095? Haven't been able to find where it's actually listed right.

Flashed the modem via fastboot and sideloaded the OTA.zip via adb. If anyone wants more instructions, I'll be happy to provide them (yes, I was rooted and modded). But first, I am not able to flash the boot.img thru fastboot. The device performs as it should but when I try to flash the boot.img it says the partition size is mismatched. Help?

I live in the US and purchased the Pure Edition Online the day of its release.
[X 2014 General] rgao007:
Definitely the XT1095 then.
[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
Ok as familiar as i am flashing and such, I'm having troubles here. I tried going into recovery, and using sideload, but it said that it could not read the zip for the OTA.

So alternatively i went to bootloader, and used mfastboot to try to flash the system.img file, and it says the header is too large or something, and refuses to flash it.

I did a hard reset earlier, so my phone is pristine. ADB is accessing fine, and my motorola drivers are up to date as far as I'm aware. Where am i getting caught up at? Suggestions? Thanks in advance.
[X 2014 General] martinezma99:
I'm on Android 5.0 with no issues.

The only question I have is how to silence the phone. Thanks.
[X 2014 General] karn101:
Negative, works just fine for me.
[X 2014 General] rgao007:
Yeah, I just factory reset it and it works now. Weird.
[X 2014 General] erikiksaz:
Hah, I suppose it's the oldschool way. Hell, I think the old stock recoveries used to only look for the update.zip in the root of the SD. Now there's a built in file browser, which is nuts :p

Anyways, once you get into the stock recovery (I just use adb reboot-bootlader, then choose recovery), there's the option to "flash update.zip" or something along those lines. You choose that, look for your file, and boom, it updates.
[X 2014 General] markwebb:
Exactly what I did. I didn't rename the ota file to update.zip though; left it as is.
[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
Mine comes up with the dead android dude, red triangle, and "No command" written under him.....
[X 2014 General] karn101:
I think pressing Power & Vol Up when you are at the stock recovery screen makes the options menu load.
[X 2014 General] erikiksaz:
Ahh, then hold down volume up, then hit the power button with volume up still held. BOOM.

0o0, beat me to it. The XDA folks are out of the woodworks today, haha.
[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
THERE we go, thank you! lol, Was driving me nuts....but now it failed cause build.prop...great..
[X 2014 General] karn101:
Yours is more correct actually since you're supposed to just tap the power button while holding the Volume Up button, so you win!
[X 2014 General] erikiksaz:
YES.

Haha. I used to remember for the nexus one when they would tell you to hold volume up and power at the same time. It would neverrr effing work. Then someone mentioned you could just do them sequentially and it changed my life...forever.

Does anybody have issue with radio just dropping out? I am on T Mobile. After the update i flashed the modem and my radio keeps dropping out. First I get service then 3g data and then LTE but it stayed on for few seconds and service drops out again. I did factory reset like someone suggested and seemed like very thing was working but ones in a while like every 20 mins the same thing happens. I've reflashed the ATT modem 3 times.

How do you go about backing up the basebands on the phone? I've never exclusively backed them up before, but I've got a stock Canadian T1097 and I'm going to give this update + restoring baseband a go (since apparently some AT&T XT1097 users have had success)
[X 2014 General] edwardgtxy:
I believe you need a custom recovery and root, in order to dump the content of the modem partition into a file that you can flash later to restore things.
[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
So i got the modem.00 error or whatever, trying to flash the modem from OP's website but i'm getting, Bootloader (permission Denied) failed (Remote failure)

Are you unlocked? (Going to guess yes.)

Are you using mfastboot instead of fastboot?

Yes indeed.

I used fastboot, Mfastboot was being picky about directories, whats the command for mfastboot to do it?
[X 2014 General] justblais:
No idea why I typed baseband when I 100% meant modem....been a long day

The people that have been flashing and having to do a fix for AT&T, are they running an XT1095 or the XT1097 AT&T model? That'll basically confirm whether I want to go ahead and try this or not
[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
Think i got it finally, woot, searched through the thread and someone had written it out. Stupidly i was not directing it to the modem partition, i feel like an idiot.

Backup EFS with TWRP from Kitkat

Install Pure edition with MOTOX_2014_PURE_MULTI_TOOLV3

Fastboot ATT modem

Fastboot TWRP

Unroot from SuperSU

Factory reset

Flash with TWRP MotoX(2014)_stock_install-recovery_sh

Fastboot stock recovery

Flash L update patch

But no signal/baseband/imei etc, so i restored from TWRP the EFS backup and everything is fine here,except i can't boot to TWRP,i need

to adb to bootloader and fastboot the recovery every time!
