Before spending (maybe, wasting) your data on downloading 400+ MB stock 4.4.4 factory firmware image, I think this is what you should try out (I'll do this too, when I get the update)-

1.) Capture the OTA using "OTA Snatcher" from Play Store, as you are already rooted. (This will save you from downloading the huge 350+ MB .zip again & again in case of failure in installation).

2.) Find Xposed Disabler.zip (don't remember the exact name & location) in your sdcard (Xposed creates it by default when you install Xposed Framework). Flash the zip using CWM/TWRP.

3.) If no other modifications to system apps (like ad-block hosts, changed/modded dialer or launcher or KeyGuard/lockscreen or messaging apps) have been done, go to SuperSU and in its settings, select Full Unroot.

4.) Flash stock recovery using fastboot/cmd. [Find the required recovery.img here- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50355724]

5.) Try flashing the OTA using stock recovery.
[Moto G General] ArjunKapoor:
wait ! As I said I don't recommend it. It's just too risky. Don't blame me if you hard-bricked your device my friend has bricked his phone and it's with repair guys...he bricked his phone by playing with qhs loader.

Going back to Stock

I have converted my XT1033 to GPE and flashed CM 12. If I just flash the stock rom, then there will be no problem. Right? My device won't get bricked?
[Moto G General] star-lord:
In your case.. its safe man.. you can revert to stock.. i tried it 4-5 times and i was safe in getting to stock each time.:D
[Moto G General] mad-extrem:
Anyone got ota update on XT1033 Indian version...?
[Moto G General] star-lord:
yeah.. some got but failed to capture OTA ... i have registered for soak test and if i get ill capture the ota and share it ... also others will... cheerss !! :D
[Moto G General] mad-extrem:
Is this official update to everyone or its just soak test..?

Just a soak test i think.. not sure
[Moto G General] Uzumaki:
OK we all didn't get the soak test OTA, now what? When it's released for public will we be the first one to be getting it? Or again we will have to beg for OTA capture from these people??!!!??
[Moto G General] damianx5:
I hope not. After all the waiting for the soak test, it was such a let down that prople who were willing to upload the soak didnt get it.

its not true, because its an OTA update, you can not uninstall that update unless you reflash the stock firmware. When the update is officially released, the release a patch update for that soak if there is a bug in that soak update.

Oh no.. The frog dude again.. You know what that means. Tomorrow this thread will be closed if this continues...

Please lets mantain this thread as clean as possible, its useful to have a place to talk about L... Dont ruin it!

Ive updated the Motorola OTA app and it has a description also in Spanish, Italian and Portuguese as far as I know... So that means that Moto is ready to roll L worldwide, but in batches. Expect L this month dudes!

Uh oh, he must really love that frog, Yeah everytime his post appears, the thread gets closed.

[Moto G General] MarckozZ:
Guys, a fellow from Mexico says in G+ that he has just receibed the OTA notification to update to Lollipop on a Moto G from Telcel.

Maybe its true, maybe not, but I'll keep you informed.

Would that be xt1032 or 33?

[Moto G General] kiranforu:
Dudes! That is fake. Just understand, how OTA works. There is no automatic remote to take it back to Android 4.4.4. There are lot of changes between the OS, it is not easy to do so. It was indeed by confirmed by Motorola OTA developer in G+. Go and search for the link, i do not have it now.
[Moto G General] salopes85:
Today i receive a notification in play store to update my app motorola mobility llc, in update said you need that for update to Android 5. Hope the lollipop comimg soon.

You're probably right, b/c I saw another thread where someone posted a screenshot but with a different link, which also didn't work.

I didn't sign up for mfn
[Moto G General] prakharkmr27:
The link dies after it has been used to complete the survey.

I tried to use my link twice. After fully completing the survey, in the 2nd attempt it just leads to the homepage of survey monkey.
[Moto G General] tzzeri:
If so many people are getting the soak test, will anyone be able to capture the link?
[Moto G General] notanoob:
I don't know but his screen shot seems suspicious. Either he did not upgrade to 4.4.4 or the screen shot is fake.

In 4.4.4 there's always two alarm icon on both sides of the screen one on the left and another next to the time and from when does moto g on 4.4.4 show two Sim icons !
[Moto G General] KapilFaujdar:
Moto G 4.4.4 never had alarm icons on two sides. It happens only when alarm is scheduled within upcoming 2 hours. So it may be possible to have icon on both sides or may not be. When it comes to sim icons, if you have no sim inserted in any slot then you will see two grey sim card icons in status bar.
[Moto G General] notanoob:
Thanks for correcting me
[Moto G General] nadeemabd:
In 4.4.4 if you have sim in just one sim slot only that icon is shown and not the empty or 'No Service' sim.
[Moto G General] KapilFaujdar:
Here is a screenshot.

Leave this off-topic discussion now.
[Moto G General] OrionBG:
Yes! This is the correct representation in 4.4.4. It is the same on my stock Moto G XT1033.

BTW ins't there an Indian OTA file already uploaded somewhere???

I remember times when the files were pooping on XDA before being officially released.... Ehhh good old times....
[Moto G General] karthikmlore:
This is the benchmark report on stock moto g running 4.4.4 kitkat with both sim enabled...
[Moto G General] admax99:
Well rumours said soak will be only for a day and then rollback to 4.4.4.. any feedback from those who got the soak OTA
[Moto G General] Chandresh204:
there is no official way to roll back from the soak test or lollipop in general without causing harm to the device..... the boot loader is changed in lollipop.... so there is absolutely no chance that motorola will give you the software for one day and take it..... they'll just give another separate update to soak testers to match their software with the rest of the masses when it is officially released
[Moto G General] Lemagex:
In regards to the stupid rumour that your phone will "downgrade automatically" no. it doesn't. I've had BR lollipop installed for over 30 hours now and it's fine. no downgrade nothing.

For people curious about battery life, 3 hours more for me.

First Review.

Hello guys.

after getting Android 5.0 saok test(Many of u not happy with me becoz of didn't tried to get ota in ZIP. but sorry for that). m writing my first review. This is based on my usage. so its may be different for others.

after using android 5.0 now 2-3 days.

Pros:

1. Animation wise its good.

2.Setting menu design changed.

3. Dialer changed.

4.Search functionality in setting menu.

5.Running application list animation is utterly smooth.

6.Quick setting shortcuts in notification panel is also good.

7. One i like is pining application and user switching.

8. Safe place, safe device is really good function.

cons:

1. due to heavy animation sometimes it becomes slower.

2. opening dialer and history page takes time due to animation.

3. widgets on lock screen takes time to load rather then kitkat (like power toggles and battery widget ).

4. With Google now launcher it becomes slower compares to kitkat.

5. on screen call coming notification becomes slower.

didn't found any bugs still.(may be didn't tried to find).

Again. m saying this all points as per my usage as m using dual sim with 24 hour internet and GPS and Bluetooth headset(single ear piece).

and from perspective battery didn't found any issue . its lasts up to 14-16 hours.

its completely random and based on registering for soak test. and don't worry you will get official very soon as per seen post here.

8.) What is "Safe Place, Safe Device" ??

3.) Lockscreen widgets were for Android 4.2 to 4.4.4, only. So, how did you get them on Lollipop??
[Moto G General] tzzeri:
Lollipop by default runs on ART which requires much more space than dalvik. But my Moto G only has 8gb. Now, in KitKat, the Moto G has an option in developer options to select which runtime you want, dalvik or ART. Does this option still exist in lollipop?

I believe the Lollipop that we are getting is still with the same launcher that we got Kitkat. Different from the GEL on moto g 2.
[Moto G General] rootr:
Yes that's exactly the case. Even on nexus 4 my friend got default launcher rather than Google Now. Kinda sucks.
[Moto G General] ankitsuthar:
1.here is the about phone SS.

2.safe place and safe device is functionality like if u set places in safe list then when u are in that area your phone will not ask for any pin or password if u fixed. and in safe device case if u set Bluetooth device in that then when u activate that device that time also phone will not ask for credential to unlock device.

3. and what i mean is if u have power toogles like panel in notification then it will also on lock screen so when u press power button to light up device .sometimes it becomes slower. (Its in mine. for others it may go smooth.)

Hope this helps.

If someone has genuinely got an OTA update for xt033, please inform here...clearly stating that its a GODDAMN OFFICIAL OTA UPDATE FOR XT 1033, and no MFN and Soak test bulls**t
[Moto G General] Adesh Atole:
This post is fooling many people

According to me, the above post is totally fake. Following are the points which clarify my statement.

1. It is not stock XT1033 KitKat ROM. In Motorola's Stock Kitkat ROM, if only one SIM card is inserted and another slot is empty, the SIM icon is not shown at all for empty slot in the status bar. But it is clearly visible in the posted screenshots.

2. The build number for the Lollipop Update doesn't have 'AsiaRetail' specified in it. This clearly specifies that the ROM is not the ROM which came pre installed with the handset. I guess, the user might have flashed the Brazilian ROM.

How can tech media be such a fool. Many leading tech websites are referring to this post. Such a foolish tech media.
