Haven't Done Anything Yet

Just received my Moto X 2014. It's the Pure Edition with the TMO SIM... from what I can gather that's XT-1095, although the Model Number doesn't use that terminology exactly. (Moto X (2nd Generation)).

Obviously this has never been rooted since I just opened it. A few noobish questions:

1. Can I do any of this on a Mac or do I need a PC? My Galaxy S4 used Odin, so I used to have to everything on an old PC that I got rid of recently. If I need a PC, I'm out of luck and will just wait for the OTA.

2. Assuming I can proceed, Is there a a post or resource for booting into stock recovery and steps to follow for adb sideloading? I've skimmed this thread but haven't seen anything yet.

3. Since I've never been rooted on this, is it fairly safe to give this a go? At this point, I'm feeling like if it's not really easy, I'll just sit back and wait for the OTA which sounds like it's coming very soon.

Thanks for any help in pointing the way...I rooted my S4 and got super flash happy for a while, but I'm going stock Android now with the light Moto touch on top.
[X 2014 General] lizaSB:
Never rooted, bootloader locked is currently the method that people are using with the least issues.

1. As long as you don't need to use fastboot, you should be able to do this on a mac because the only reason you would need a computer is to move the ota zip to your storage.

2. The various steps people have used are sprinkled throughout the thread. In a nutshell, shut down your device, press vol down for 3 seconds, then press the power button. This will get you into fastboot mode. From fastboot mode, follow the on screen instructions to boot into recovery. Once in recovery (No Command, sad android on his back) press volume up and then power to input commands. From there choose install from sdcard and choose the OTA zip. I would avoid sideloading if I were you as most of the commands people are using involve a PC (I believe)

3. Just copy the zip to the root of your sdcard, reboot into recovery and apply the update zip from sdcard. You should be good to go from that point. If you run into any oddities (auto rotate toggle missing, home button not working, etc) reboot back into recovery, factory data reset and everything should be great. If you receive any errors while installing the zip (unlikely given your fresh out of the box setup) you can find solutions by searching this thread, though just about all of them will involve fastboot

Now that you guys are a day or two in, can you comment on the stability, especially for the radio/modem? The OP mentions we may have to flash the older radio on his website to get LTE working after this Lollipop OTA is applied, suggesting the radio in the OTA image doesn't work flawlessly. I'm curious if people are seeing any issues with the new bundled radio (which appears to be MSM8974BP_4120.176.08.24R, VICTARA_TMO_CUST).

(As an aside, why is the older radio referred to as an "AT&T modem"? It has TMO in the filename! I mean, Christ, how complicated do we have to make things that we rename the modem arbitrarily after Moto has clearly called it a TMO radio.)
[X 2014 General] unremarked:
I have had no issues using the device on 5.0. I was rooted stock(using Jcase superboot) with only minor additions(Xposed and Adaway). I did restore using the Multitool, as well as factory wipe prior to installation.

No service issues. Full LTE connectivity on AT&T, expected call quality, full access. I did not have to reflash any modem after installing.
[X 2014 General] IGoDur6:
For those with a Pure Edition that was never rooted and locked bootloader but have updated to this lollipop soak, how does your screen look when the brightness slider is slide all the way down? For me, it takes on a red tint when I slide it down past about 15%. I was previously rooted before so I was wondering if that may be the problem.
[X 2014 General] unremarked:
Do you mean the Status & Navigation bars turn red when under 15%? If so, then that's a visual change when Battery Saver(if enabled) kicks in.
[X 2014 General] IGoDur6:
No, it's not that. My power saver mode is turned off. It happens when I slide the brightness slider down to 14% and below the whole screen takes on a red tint. Well, I guess a rose tint is more appropriate. Anyways, It's especially noticeable with Chrome as the address bar is gray and white. If it's above 15% everything looks normal so that's why I find it weird. I tried to take a screen shot but the coloring looks normal when viewed.
[X 2014 General] unremarked:
Ah, I gotcha. I turned my brightness down in an effort to replicate and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

I will say that in my phone owning history(as seen in my signature... I may have a problem), I have noticed that SAMOLED screens can vary greatly in their.. presentation, for lack of a better word.
[X 2014 General] IGoDur6:
Ah alright. Well thankfully the battery life is enough for a days worth of use (for me) so I guess it's a non-issue. It's mainly for nighttime browsing lol.

Help with AT&T Modem Step

Hi there,

I followed the guide to a "T" and it worked perfectly. Only one issue after the update. As stated, I would lose my AT&T LTE, but the modem was provided. I downloaded it but can't get it to flash. It is an IMG file. I booted the phone into fastboot but can't get anything to work. I have downloaded the IMG file to a Fastboot download folder I created. Am I missing something? I'm new to Fastboot so I must be doing something wrong :( Ty.
[X 2014 General] obtained:
For everyone's information: This may help some or may not. After I updated I had absolutely no service, I had to manually select my APN in settings, as there was no APN selected at all for some reason.

When you have your phone at the bootloader and "fastboot devices" does it show any devices attached?

---------- Post added at 06:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 AM ----------

Mine actually has a red tint as well. Weird? I know red is supposed to be easier on your eyes in the dark so maybe it's like that on purpose?
[X 2014 General] markwebb:
Hmmm. Not occurring on my phone and I just tried various settings down to the lowest. Hardware anomaly?
[X 2014 General] lostsoul947:
Flashed soak test yesterday afternoon, had slight issue with gaining LTE, but flashed ATT modem and have no issues. This is a Pure being used on ATT.
[X 2014 General] kylepsp:
I get this on KK, but I have an xposed module installed which allows me to decrease the brightness further than usual
[X 2014 General] cbasse:
Is it safe to say if I'm having trouble flashing the OTA, then I'll likely have the same issues when the "official" release is out?
[X 2014 General] svenb352:
Actually I was able to figure it out :). All is good now! Woot lollipop and it's perfect :D
[X 2014 General] graffixnyc:
Just got my new pure edition. Also got a version of root to test for chainfire but had my buddy try and it didn't seem to work. Once my device is charged up my order of business is

1. unlock the bootloader

2. back up the unrooted system partition, boot, modem

3. flash the ota

4. see what's up with root..

5. report back to chainfire and hopefully get it sorted
[X 2014 General] matt99017d:
God bless you man!!!!

Do you think for those of us who flashed the 2013 moto x modem will have better connectivity with the radio that belongs with the pure edition? I have great LTE speeds. But my coverage is somewhat spotty.

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

Yes. Yes you will.
[X 2014 General] nexus15:
Maybe you should email motorola after pulling the image to offer to help upload it to their servers.

To everyone: When Chainfire gets root working for us find his donate button and send him a few bucks to buy a beer.

Someone did it in a xt1097 at&t? I saw replys with xt1097 and xt1092, but it was branded devices?

I have all tools ready to run, but i dont know if i will brick it or not.

[X 2014 General] graffixnyc:
ok, So I have uploaded the Pure edition 4.4.4 radio. The link is on my website (look for the 4.4.4 files under the 5.0 files) a non-rooted system image is there as well, but it's still uploading so I'd give it a while before you try to DL it. (should be done in like 15 min) Of course it will have to be split to use I bellieve (as is in the toolkit)

Still waiting on chainfire to fix root. He is eager to get it though :P
[X 2014 General] knepe:
Hello

Im thinking of flashing the OTA, I see it works on XT1092 if you Flash the modem. Only thing Im worried about is that my baseband version says "EMEA_CUST" instead of "TMO_CUST". Will that be a problem?
[X 2014 General] bitwiser:
Just got my Moto delivered...

Less than an hour after unwrapping...running Lollipop. All went smooth. On AT&T. Just removed the T-mobile sim that came with it and put my sim card in and was up and running fine. So far it is great. Very quick and fluid. I wish I could remove the Google search bar without installing another launcher though. How many ways do they think we need to get to google now? . Swipe up from the bottom of the screen, say "ok google", swipe to the far left home screen or click the google search bar...ok I get it. you want me to use Google. LOL

Does anyone have an idea on if the next OTA or final version will have to be side loaded or if it will update OTA now that I'm running the soak test version?
[X 2014 General] tebower:
It has been confirmed by others to me that the soak test is still considered part of the stock OTA upgrade path, and that we can expect to receive any future OTA from Moto. Unless, of course, we can't wait for Moto to send it to our phones and we choose to flash it manually again. LOL
[X 2014 General] IGoDur6:
So I signed up for the Motorola Feedback Network before I updated to lollipop yesterday and now they are trying to push the OTA to my phone. I'm guessing I can't get the update from then since I updated myself right? If that's the case, can I still provide them feedback?
[X 2014 General] MaKTaiL:
You are probably getting the final OTA. What is the build number?
[X 2014 General] tw1tch175:
If you didn't run the update, please pull the downloaded zip for us :fingers-crossed:
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Build number for the version posted here is LXE22.39-5, just in case anyone's wondering :D

I'm in the moto feedback network too, so I assume I'll be getting that update sometime today. I'll upload the zip and let you guys know ;)

Oh, and where exactly does the update download to? If it's anywhere in root I'll have to go to TWRP and get it out.
[X 2014 General] IGoDur6:
No idea. Got 3 emails from them. The first describes what the soak test and tells me the update will be pushed later this afternoon. The second tells me "Access Denied" lol which I guess is for the feedback forums and the third tells me access corrected. Haven't received a system update notification yet tho so it may be the build on this thread may be the same build as the test.
[X 2014 General] markwebb:
Are you saying a newer, and perhaps final ota is on the way?
[X 2014 General] MaKTaiL:
I thought you were getting a system update notification. Nevermind.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Yup I got those same three emails. I'll be on the lookout for more!
[X 2014 General] holtenc:
On the way, yes. Eventually. Soonish.

But he's getting emails about the soak test OTA, which will be, in all likelihood, the exact version of what the OP of this thread posted. But shortly after the soak period (3-7 days maybe more), assuming there weren't any huge problems with the soak, moto will push out the final OTA meant for mass consumption. So, I'de wager final 5.0 OTA will most definitely go out well before the end of the month.
[X 2014 General] markwebb:
OK gotcha. Was a bit confused: long day at work. ;)
[X 2014 General] IGoDur6:
Did you already sideload the update on this thread like I did or are you still on KitKat waiting for the soak test to be pushed to you?
[X 2014 General] Tijmen:
40 pages back in the meantime, but I still feel like this has to be said:

If there's a troll / flamewar / exchange of insults in a thread report it, if stuff is reported we can get on it and prevent it from escalating instead of having the clean up a drama strung across ten pages.

Thread cleaned.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Yeah I side loaded the update.

Hoping I still receive it, but the private soak test forums are down right now for some reason.
[X 2014 General] THEindian:
Its definitely not down, i just reloaded my page. It doesn't look like my Moto X is getting the Soak Test OTA.
[X 2014 General] ddantzler:
Soak Tester

Not getting an OTA yet either. Could mean we have the same build.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Huh I haven't been able to load it. I'll try again.
[X 2014 General] THEindian:
Someone posted an image, it looks like they are on the next build. Looks like we need to wait until someone pulls that OTA so we can update to be on the same version.
[X 2014 General] ddantzler:
Confirmed.
[X 2014 General] sabbotage:
Wonder if the older 5.0 build will update to the newer one without issue or if we would have to go back to 4.4.4. My phone was never rooted or unlocked and I'd prefer not to brick it.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Nope the site still won't work. But then again, the issue for me is with sign-in, not necessarily the forums themselves.

New Soak Test Image

Well I side loaded the first soak test and was invited today. Motorola forum shows everyone else is getting the download message but not me so looks like im out in the cold until someone saves the second one. Damn....
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Yes... This has been asked a million times -_-
[X 2014 General] sabbotage:
No it hasn't. Did you even closely read what I said?
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Yeah I did. You can update from L to a newer version of L. As long as it has a newer build number, there's no issue ;)

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

So for whatever reason my Moto forums account got suspended XD

Tried to log on again and it told me that. Strange.
[X 2014 General] pasty81:
Offical soak OTA from Moto is going out now. Downloading as I type this.
[X 2014 General] ddantzler:
But were you on the leaked build?
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Please upload if you get a chance ;)
[X 2014 General] mowiemark:
Yes please were you on the leaked build?
[X 2014 General] slh7d:
Someone please post the OTA already :)
[X 2014 General] pasty81:
No. I returned to "stock" 4.4.4. Hopefully I was "stock" enough for the OTA to install. I doubt anyone on the leaked build will recieve the OTA. But that's just a hunch
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Are you able to upload it? I'll see if it installs on mine (currently running leaked L).
[X 2014 General] THEindian:
There was probably something in the OTA code where it only pushed updates to users running specific builds of KitKat. Once we update to the Soak, i am sure we will start to recieve updates as normal.
[X 2014 General] ddantzler:
This is what we get for being impatient.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
It may only be pushed to those on KK, but it should install for everyone if side loaded.
[X 2014 General] mowiemark:
Very True
[X 2014 General] tw1tch175:
Now we just have to be a bit more patient :confused:

They have to push the OTA for people on the first soak as some of them weren't people sideloading it.
[X 2014 General] slh7d:
Was there an actual first soak test, or was it just people side loading the leak?
[X 2014 General] mowiemark:
True statement. The forum they gave us access to just started up today. So if there was a first soak then it was a different forum.
[X 2014 General] pasty81:
been a while since i messed with OTAs. Can someone remind me where the downloaded file is stored?
[X 2014 General] ddantzler:
I think it was just a leak.
[X 2014 General] edwardgtxy:
Can you also double check if the ATT modem is exactly the same as the modem in pure edition?
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
The leak had to come from a soak test so if they are doing a new build (which is extremely rare but I can admit when I'm wrong) then something was definitely wrong with the first build. They will need to issue a small patch build for those on the first build, so, whoever's on that build and sees an update will hopefully be able to capture it. That means there will be two zip files for this new build eventually...one to update KK (which is the new soak build people are talking about) and that'll be a full update, and one to patch the existing build and will be a much smaller update. We will need both so that people who updated to the first build can update without having to try downgrading and installing a new soak build. Hopefully this makes sense and I didn't confuse people.
[X 2014 General] pasty81:
Ive got the offical OTA from moto downloaded. I just can't remember when the OS stored the update file. I don't have root since I wanted to return to total stock in order to retrieve the offical ota.

Can somone remind me where it's stored. I'll upload it when I get it off the phone.
[X 2014 General] slh7d:
It's definitely a new build. Well, the leaked version works well enough... won't sweat it if I have to wait a bit...

Is there a system image to go back to default moto-x 4.4.4?
[X 2014 General] tw1tch175:
IIRC It's in /cache/ you will probably need to boot twrp and use adb commands to pull the file as I don't think cache can be accessed in the OS without root.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Should be in the cache directory but you won't be able to access it without root. What you can do is download TWRP and use the:

fastboot boot twrp.img

command where twrp.img is the name of the twrp recovery img file. Then once it's booted open up a terminal and copy it to your sdcard.

[X 2014 General] rayfin:
By now you might have heard that the Moto X 2014 Pure Edition is getting a massive soak test which has a slightly different build number than the private soak test that was released on Friday.

How do you update to the latest version?

You have two options.

1) Wait for one of the members of the original private soak to get updated to the -6 build. Hope they post the OTA zip file. Download it. Flash it.

2) Factory images for KitKat have just been published. You can flash back to stock KitKat and wait for the update to hit your device. http://goo.gl/a3r1DF ﻿

(Confirmed via Moto myself.)
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Yup that's definitely newer. Leaked is 21.11.5.

Any way to upload?
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Oh HELLLL YEA! Nice!! Thank you Moto.
[X 2014 General] knepe:
Is it confirmed that it is a SOAK test? Or can it be the final build? As the release notes are up again: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/102640
[X 2014 General] pasty81:
give what rayfin just said. I'm not going to go through the hassel of uploading since anyone can get it now by using the factory images posted by moto. I'm having hell taking it off my SD card anyway. It's the only file I can't copy off. It's like it's protected somehow. weird.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
I ain't touching that question. Last time I said something you ended up with a new build. LMAO

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

Throw it on your dropbox and copy it that way.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Very strange. Problem is, the OTA is different than the factory image, and I don't think they've even posted the factory images yet.

Also, try copying the file to your plain downloads folder on the phone. Then try and bring it off/upload it from your phone ;)
[X 2014 General] tw1tch175:
The factory image isn't the same as the OTA :p
[X 2014 General] pasty81:
I attempted to install the official OTA. I guess I wasn't "stock" enough. Thank goodness they made official stock images available.
[X 2014 General] adsam3927:
You are absolutely right

THIS IS THE FINAL RELEASE

Towards the bottom of the release note it quite clearly states

"Your phone is now updated with 22.11.6" which is same as the 2nd OTA being sent out today !!:D
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
The fact that they're posting FXZ's again means that if they don't slack off they'll post the 5.0 image once it finishes OTA. (Note that means when it's finished rolling out not when it starts....meaning a few weeks from now at the earliest). So worse case people can stick with what they have then flash the FXZ when it's posted. Or downgrade to 4.4.4 and take the OTA. Whatever. Unlocked phones rock. :D
[X 2014 General] tjarvis:
Just got this notification... How many soak tests will there be?
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Can you link the images (and I'm not sure if you can get the OTA)? I can't find them on Google.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
For crying out loud, Moto what the hell are you doing to these new images being posted? No RSD script and these . files again? Didn't I just get through fixing the xt1053 4.4.4 FXZ for you guys? LMAO :D
