EDIT: just read to the bottom of the responses :P

Well if you're rooted, it won't work. The build in Android encryption tool doesn't work on rooted devices.

There are some workarounds I've seen out there, so juts look up Android encryption root on Google and see what comes up :D
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
No. But if you read the OP, you'll see that the 1097 can be "converted" to a 1095. You have to do that before it'll take the OTA.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Please elaborate.
[X 2014 General] kcustom11:
Had some success.

1. After upgrade to .11 and root install with CF-Root (I have stock recovery. It could work with TWRP)

2. reboot into safe mode (hold power off icon)

3. adb shell

4. su

5. pkill -KILL daemonsu

6. go immediately into security and encrypt device

7. phone reboots and then you'll see the encryption progress screen
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Awesome! Glad it worked out :D
[X 2014 General] Atlas:
Usb debugging on, RSA ok. rebooted in fastboot, your fastboot was on the folder, with the 4.4.4 files. Opent cmd, wrote all the commands.

Then it rebooted, and lollipop was still there!
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
As I've said before, DON'T use the fastboot with the 4.4.4 files. That doesn't do anything; I'm not sure why Motorola put it there. Use the one from the fastboot folder for your OS.
[X 2014 General] Atlas:
But i used urs, deleted the old and placed your in the fasboot folder
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
OK, you're definitely doing something wrong because if you flashed one thing properly it wouldn't continue to boot into Lollipop and function. Were any of your flashes successful+what were the errors if they weren't?

You need to have the fastboot file for your OS in the same folder as all of the extracted 4.4.4 image files on your PC before you flash anything.
[X 2014 General] xnifex:
can I root on kitkat & still eventually upgrade to lollipop & root again?
[X 2014 General] motoxftw:
what's the latest version?

It isn't listed on the original post. Second question, I flashed the leak ota via factory recovery and I just got an actual ota to 22.21.11 .victara_tmo.tmo.en.US . I have been following this post, going to update the way you described, but did it just get given to me?
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Yeah if you got the actual OTA go ahead and take it! That's the same as what you'd flash from here :P
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Should work fine. I was rooted when I went to the first leaked version; you need to make sure you don't make any tweaks whatsoever though and put back the stock recovery when you flash the OTA.
[X 2014 General] xnifex:
good to know, thanks for the info.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Yup no prob
[X 2014 General] vamsi4u4me:
Will I get official future updates If I apply the lollipop update from this Post?

First of all thanks for the guide and update! I have question that will I be getting the future updates to my device from Motorola ?? Is this the original non modified android lollipop which is same as the one which is released by Motorola?:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[X 2014 General] motoxftw:
For some reason I thought I was stuck on the leaked soak test, after I manually downloaded and flashed, but I guess since nothing was altered they went ahead and updated me to current OTA. That's awesome. Saves me some time, I just wasn't sure the version it updated to was current.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Yup you'll be getting all future OTA updates if you're on an XT1095 pure edition ;)
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Nice! Glad that worked out :D
[X 2014 General] Kodiak1:
Does this comment about future updates hold true if I'm coming from an XT1097 converted to the XT1095 PE ROM?

If true, I'm assuming that once converted to XT1095, OTA updates will come directly from Moto servers instead of the carriers?

I've only flashed Nexus devices before, so this process seems a bit intimidating to me, but if this puts me on an entirely different upgrade path, then it's absolutely worth the switch imo.

Thanks for all of the hard work. I've read through all 28 pages.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
If you're converted then no. But it could. If you are using the Pure Edition modem it should be fine, but if you're using a Brazilian modem like many with 1097s are, you'll have to continually flash back to stock and then to your backup after the update.

Again, I don't have a 1097, but I'm pretty sure that if you flash the factory firmware for the 1095 you'll be good to go for 1095 OTAs. I'd try flashing to stock 4.4.4 and seeing if you get the Lollipop OTA alert. That would clear things up immediately.
[X 2014 General] Kodiak1:
Thanks for the advice... I'll try the stock 4.4.4 and see how it goes.

I'm in Canada on Wind, so the PE modem might be ok, although I read someone earlier saying their data speeds were reduced after converting using the default modem. Worth a shot.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Yup worth a shot for sure. Let us know how it works out!
[X 2014 General] fallenturtle:
I'm option C if I have an unlocked bootloader, but the software is not rooted, right?

[GUIDE] Update XT1095 Pure Edition to Latest Android Lollipop

You should be fine if you're not rooted. Give it a go and if it doesn't work let us know.
[X 2014 General] scoliosis:
Got the phone today and updated to the latest Lollipop OTA. But made the mistake of rooting with the wrong methodology. Now the phone will try to boot and sits at the wavy Motorola logo. Followed the steps in the first post to the letter but still failed to boot again. The step to flash motoboot fails with the error "downgraded to tz" and I ignored it per the messages in this thread. I'm using the fastboot that came from the Onedrive link.

What am I missing?

EDIT : Never mind. Did it again and let it sit in that logo for 5 minutes and it started up. Looks like it was trying to clear the partitions.

just got the OTA to -11 FROM THE SOAK TEST version.

Hi all,

I just wanted to share this surprise that happened today in case it can help anyone... I manually upgraded to the soak test when this guide first came out, and haven't had time to downgrade and do whatever I need to do to get up to date with the OTA version. But today, on my way home, I got a notification that I had a new software update, and Iet it do its thing, and now I'm back up to date. I'm on the pure edition. 1095. I didn't see anyone else reporting this, but apparently they are updating from the soak test OTA now?

[X 2014 General] iNiREALiZED:
I was in the same boat and received the .11 update ota today while at work. Awesome surprise! Previously manually updated to the soak test as while and was stuck because I didn't want to go through the trouble of downgrading.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Actually, the -6 to -11 OTA was the first one to be leaked (by Graffix). I posted that file and the one for folks still on KitKat.

I'm surprised the -6 to -11 rollout took this long; Graffix posted the update on November 1st.
[X 2014 General] sbtm1337:
Hi

I converted my xt1092 to an xt1095 and flashed the .6 via sideload and flashed the xt1092 modem then.

So now I got the OTA for the .11

Now my question is if I can apply it and can flash the xt1092 modem afterwards again or do I have to flash it via sideload again? And do I lose any data in the manual progress? I know I lose data when flashing via fastboot but I forgot what it is like via sideload. Do I have to wipe when flashing modem?
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
1. Back up your modem.

2. Flash the pure edition .6 modem (on my site)

3. Install the OTA in any way you want. Doesn't need a wipe.

That should be it!
[X 2014 General] Axam:
I can confirm that. I've got OTA update from 22.11.5 to 22.21.11. XT1095, Pure edition with locked bootloader without root.
[X 2014 General] fallenturtle:
Actually before I could it got pushed to me! Quite nice as this whole time I've been wondering if I could actually receive OTA updates, especially since I got impatient and manually pushed .6.
[X 2014 General] Kodiak1:
Out of curiosity, why does he have to go back to the pure edition .6 modem before installing the OTA? Will the OTA not install if it recognizes a different modem version is currently installed?
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Yup you got it. It won't work if it recognizes a different modem.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Anyone have any ideas on when we'll get 5.0.1?
[X 2014 General] Ichiban Rei:
From what I read on G+, there will not be a 5.0.1 release for Moto X because they had incorporated the changes from 5.0.1 into their 5.0 final. I'll see if I can find a link.

Edit:

Bah, I can't find it. It might have been a reply by a moto rep or something. I don't remember.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Hmm interesting. It's not unheard of, LG's known to do that pretty often.

Although, one of the fixes of .1 made it so the "Mute Connected Phone" function of Android Wear would work again. It is currently broken.

I hope we hear some more soon, cuz this is kind of frustrating [emoji14]

"Praise Jah" YOU people.!
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Aha I gotcha :P

Yeah I've heard that 5.0.1 fixed the performance issues, and I have no problem doing some modifications to remove device encryption if it comes to that.

I use an iPhone 6 Plus as my secondary phone, and due to the fact that I have large hands, the bigger footprint of the Nexus 6 just seems like it'll be a better fit for me (I used one too, and liked it a lot).

Regardless, I'll likely swap whatever I have for the Galaxy S6 or One M9, and the Nexus 6 will likely hold a lot more of its value than a 16GB Moto X (those are already going for very little—everyone wants the 32GB).

I'm sure you'll enjoy it though! Really nothing wrong with it; it's a beast of a phone!
[X 2014 General] nomar116:
Picked up a 16GB Pure Moto-X2 off craigslist. It is currently running 5.0-6. It is failing OTA for 5.0-11. As far as I can tell it was untampered so I have no idea why...

I just enabled developer mode and was going to attempt to download the update and flash it but I must be missing something . I open SolarTrans' OneDrive and there is no 5.0-6 to 5.0-11.

Any idea why it won't take it OTA, failed twice?

(Edit: Found it here. I'll give this one a try)
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
The .6 to .11 OTA is on my OneDrive actually: Moto X Downloads->5.0-6->5.0-6 to 5.0-11 OTA :P

Regardless, did you get it working?
[X 2014 General] nomar116:
I have not gotten it working. I actually did a factory reset to try and set it up from scratch and it still won't take the OTA. It says failed while trying to run the android install after restarting. Then it boots normally and says "a problem occured while updating your Moto X. No changes were made." Is there anyway to know if this phone was rooted before?

I'm also very discouraged because I'm getting very poor T-Mobile data coverage. I'm getting HSPA+ when a Galaxy S3 is getting UMTS right next to it. Less than 1 mbps download speeds. I'll cross that bridge next....
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
[GUIDE] Update XT1095 Pure Edition to Latest Android Lollipop

What you'll want to do is follow the instructions in the OP to flash the factory 4.4.4 firmware and then do the 4.4.4 to 5.0-11 update from there ;)

Oh, and when downgrading, 4.4.4 motoboot may not flash. That's fine, as it's your bootloader version, and it doesn't make a difference. You should be able to flash every other thing on there just fine, and that should fix your data speeds as well :D

Lastly, UMTS (3G) is significantly worse than HSPA+ (essentially 3.5G), just so you know.
[X 2014 General] nomar116:
Thanks man.

Any good resource / thread you recommend to troubleshoot the APN and signal strength for this phone on T-Mobile?
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Well if you flash the whole stock firmware (including modem) and take the 5.0 update, you should have no issues with LTE. The Pure Edition ships with a TMO SIM, so the automatic APN is the best option. It's been fine for me on AT&T and TMO ;)
[X 2014 General] IrishLad:
Hi All,

This seems like the right place to ask.

I got a Moto X XT1907 (Non-US) version which unfortunately does not support LTE Band 20.

The XT1902 does support this, can the phone and modem be converted to be an XT1902 or would that be a hardware limitation? I'd like to convert to XT1902 anyway to remove the Brasil based configuration on the phone, and ideally the modem as well???

Many thanks in advance.
[X 2014 General] booyashakas:
Hey Solar, great thread

I'm waiting for a US Cellular version to arrive in the mail (XT1093), do you know if your process outlined in the OP would work for that one as well? The Pure version seems to cover the same bands that I'd be using here in Canada. I'm hoping that means I don't have to bother with any modem weirdness.

Thanks!
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Yup, if you can unlock the bootloader I don't see why it wouldn't :D
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
I'm pretty sure it is just a software thing.

You're gonna want to flash the modem of a local carrier version (or any version that supports band 20) and see if that helps.

ATT Locked XT1097 bricked

Hi everyone.

I tried to update my moto X XT1097 AT&T locked phone to lollipop and the process failed. Sorry for this but I followed a forum and missed some warnings. The phone is in fastboot and can not initiated, not using sideload to charge a rom nor repeting the process. What I have identified is as follow:

1. In the flashing process, once the boot process was reched, it failed due to it is a locked phone.

2. The things before this step were done and files like gpt.bin were flashed.

3. I can not use other rom due, as I said before, it is locked.

4. The structure of the gpt file differs from that of Kikat version so It failed to the process to go back to 4.4.4. An error is generated and no more actions can be done

I was wondering if any of you have had experience on this issue and can give me some help. Maybe with some kikat gpt.bin file which can run from the bootloader

Hope not to have to wait until AT&T release the official update.

Thanks in advance

[GUIDE] Update XT1095 Pure Edition to Latest Android Lollipop

Unlock the bootloader then, that's rthe only thing I could say. The KitKat firmware on my OneDrive may be able to help, although it's 1095.

But really, just unlock the phone through Motorola's site. It'll just take a few minutes, it's all done from fastboot, and there's not really a reason not to.
[X 2014 General] Figaritto:
What if the phone is not elegible for unlock the bootloader? There is a way out of this fastboot loop? Maybe there is a way to make the phone brick and start from other point. Any idea could be really helpful. Thanks

I honestly have no idea... The only variants that I'm aware of that you can't unlock the bootloader are the Verizon ones so I'd at least give it a try

Go to Moto's unlock bootloader site, put in the correct info, you will see if your device is eligible to unlock, there is also a list that Moto has, one can check the list also..

Whether the device is locked (or) unlocked doesn't matter, with the stock firmware..one can flash the "stock" firmware to either..

When I backed up my Telus XT1097 modem files I got:

Does this seem correct? I notice in the OP instructions we are to flash fsg.mnb; should I rename mine or just flash as fsg.bin? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I just opened the 4.4.4 zip OP provided and noticed there is an fsg.mnb so it makes sense to flash that file when installing stock 4.4.4. So now my questions is, once I have installed 4.4.4, and then the 5.0 OTA and reboot to bootloader before system boot to flash my Telus modem back, can I flash my NON-HLOS.bin and then fsg.bin backup? No need to rename my fsg.bin to fsg.mnb?

As others stated, I rebooted directly to bootloader after flashing the 5.0 OTA, flashed my backed up modem files, rebooted, MONEY. CF root .IMG worked perfect via fastboot.

NOTE: After fastboot stock TMO 4.4.4 and booting system, I skipped all setup, I was prompted with the 5.0 via OTA. I didn't attempt it for fear of soft brick, but wonder if I could have instead of recovery method.

[MENTION=5713057]SolarTrans[/MENTION] will you be providing further OTA's as they roll out in the future? And thanks again for the guide and support!
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Very nice! Glad everything worked out :D

And I'm not sure for how long I'll continue posting updates. Likely for a little while, but definitely not forever. GraffixNYC has a great thread where he keeps all the update files (he updates extremely quickly), and if you know how to flash them, that's a good way to go.

The initial purpose for this guide was to sort out all the issues with the spam tests, and I expect its relevance will decrease now that updates are becoming much more straightforward.

So in short, I'll likely support it for a little while, but I can't say how long.
[X 2014 General] nomar116:
Solar, thanks for your help. You mentioned when I flashed I would be flashing the modem which should solve my problems. I used the NON-HLOS.bin file for the modem.

So now that the Telus build of Lollipop is out and it is based off of 5.0.1 are any XT1095 users going to flash to it? Is there anything important enough in the 5.0.0 to 5.0.1 update to make it worth while?
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
As has been said before and confirmed by a Motorola engineer, the 5.0.1 update files were integrated into the normal 5.0 update for the pure edition.

So no, no one's gonna change :P
[X 2014 General] Steve-x:
Clearly not all of the changes were integrated or Motorola wouldn't have specifically delayed the Canadian version until a 5.0.1 release was ready. Of course all of the changes they considered critical may have been integrated other then the language bug which delayed the Cdn release.
[X 2014 General] blyndfyre:
Strange they wouldn't just call it 5.0.1 then. Seems counterintuitive!
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Yeah it kinda is haha.

But strangely, many manufacturers do it. LG, for example, left their G3 on 4.4.2 forever while they continued adding files from the new updates.

Yeah that's possible. I'm guessing it's a lot easier for OEMs to push out non-version changing updates because lots of OEMs do it.
