[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Well, there's been a lot of confusion about over in the 5.0 OTA thread about how to get onto the latest build of Lollipop.

**********UPDATE********

Sorry guys, I no longer have a Moto X and as such have to discontinue support for the downloads in this thread; I can no longer keep up with a device I don't have :P

If you can get the files I mention elsewhere, most of these instructions should remain applicable.

Thanks :D

*****************************

So how does one get onto the latest OFFICIAL build of Android 5.0 on their Moto X 2014 Pure Edition (XT1095)? Here's how (and it most likely involves a data wipe)

Have an XT1092 or XT1097? Well fear not! It's easy to convert.

Follow this guide later in the thread (thanks to[MENTION=1257179]steff999[/MENTION] for this!):

And if you have cellular problems on your 1092 or 1097, follow this post by [MENTION=5017847]sbtm1337[/MENTION]:

****If you damage anything in the process, it's no one's fault but yours (it's hard to mess this up, though :P)****

Step 0:

Make sure you have basic fastboot and adb knowledge; have Motorola drivers on your computer.

Enable USB debugging on your phone if you haven't yet.

Then, go to the home screen. Plug in the USB cable into your computer, and then into your phone.

If you haven't done anything like this before, it should prompt you for RSA authorization. Check always allow, and then yes.

Step 1:

Determine where you are in the process.

You can be in one of 5 places:

A: On 4.4.4 KitKat, un-tampered

B: On 4.4.4 KitKat, tampered (root, /system mods, etc.)

C: On 5.0 Lollipop LXE22.39-6 un-tampered

D: On 5.0 Lollipop LXE22.39-6 tampered

E: On ANY other version

If option A, go to step 4 (no wipe!)

If option C, go to step Q (keep your data :P)

If option B, D, or E, go to step 2 (gonna have to wipe...)

******Unless you're on option A or C, you NEED an unlocked bootloader!******

Step 2:

Download the stock 4.4.4 firmware.

It's on Motorola's site, but you have to request access and wait a while. I've mirrored it in .zip form for easy access:

https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=227F163CB35629DA!20267&authkey=!AMWPTB3ICDtezYs&ithint=folder,

Extract the .zip on your PC. On OneDrive, open the Moto Fastboot folder and download the fastboot corresponding to your OS (Windows or Linux, no Moto Fastboot exists for Mac unfortunately).

***Take the fastboot file here and replace the one in whatever directory you have your current one***

***Move the files from the 4.4.4 Firmware to the same place you have the new fastboot.***

***There may be a file called fastboot in the 4.4.4 Firmware folder. Delete that, you only need the one from OneDrive***

Step 3:

Reboot your device to fastboot.

Enter these commands:

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot

Don't sign into any accounts, and skip all the setup.

Step 4:

Now, download the 4.4.4 to 5.0 OTA zip from here:

https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=227F163CB35629DA!20267&authkey=!AMWPTB3ICDtezYs&ithint=folder,

Put it in the download folder of your Moto X.

Step 5:

Reboot to stock recovery. Once you see the Android and a red triangle above it, press volume up for 3 sec and then lock right afterwards. Then let go immediately.

Select "apply update from sdcard".

Navigate to your download directory, and select the update zip.

Let it flash.

Reboot.

Step 6 **IMPORTANT**:

Now you've got L! But... Not so fast.

Skip through the setup, and go to factory reset in settings (enjoying the beauty along the way).

Here's why: Android L has 256-bit encryption (up from 128-bit on KitKat), however it only takes effect if you factory reset within L.

It's ultimately up to you whether you reset or not, but coming from a clean KitKat install like most this is a great benefit for little effort.

If you've made it this far without a wipe and don't want to re-set up your phone, it will work without it, but to ensure smooth operation and for security purposes I'd highly recommend the reset (many who haven't done this reset have reported numerous FCs and other issues as well).

Step Q:

All you have to do now is download the 5.0-6 to 5.0-11 OTA from my OneDrive and flash it in stock recovery. Not much to it!

*If you have an alternate modem, you'll be ineligible for this .6-.11 OTA. It's likely that you'll have to wipe, flash 4.4.4, and redo the steps it took to get you to -6 but with the -11 OTA file.*

And...

BAM!

LOLLIPOP!

YEAHHH BUDDY

Enjoy ;)
