If u found any way to lock it please post in future.. And any comment on battery life . i m on soak test version of lollipop it has lag and battery drain also

Edit: hey there although soak test version is same to official ota but i found that baseband version is different on ota(radio was draining the battery on soak test version lollipop)

I have unlocked the boot loader and updated the official lollipop.

But if u r trying it BEWARE: u can't relock ur bootloader on kitkat or lollipop again.

And if u want to remove that warning msg on startup just try to flash lollipop logo image from fastboot.
[Moto G General] kingsukpasari:
A minor difference between official and the soak test one

In the official version there is not brightness bug like if you have adaptive brightness and you are lowering the brightness to minimum, the screen wont go completely black which is happening in this soak test version.

2nd thing what i feel there are some problem in official google app, when i am searching calculator/ play store in home screen google's white bar it supposed to show the app installed rather than searching them in google. in the official version this bug is not present.

I have tested these thing on my friends moto g which got the official update. I have this version installed facing these problem.
[Moto G General] classless:
So everybody is saying they are the same, have same md5 and even motorola said soak is final version (for now). Only you say its not...

Based on what you are saying some people will unlock bootloader, flash kitkat just to get "latest" lollipop OTA...

Are you 100% sure they are not the same?
[Moto G General] MonoTheKing:
Same question. I also using soak version 5.0.2 and lazy to flash official 5.0.2. They are really different?

And the truth is: Even if we have 2 same phone, using same OS, same version, we still could meet different bug.
[Moto G General] rahulroyale:
If u r ok with battery performance then no need to flash..

Yes u can have different bugs while using same mobile with same software
[Moto G General] kingsukpasari:
both the versions are same, have the same name, have same MD5 but i found those bugs in the soak test version which i have installed using this post and those bugs are not present in official OTA. you can check if any of your friend got the official one.
[Moto G General] ficki yahya:
Its same, the bug display you talk about just happen when adaptive brightness is on. My friend got official ota, when adaptive brightness is on then he switxh display to the lowest, the flikering still happen
[Moto G General] brainscollector:
IT WILL ALWAYS HAPPEN ! It's sub value and it's hardware problem not software ! JESUS how many times it must be answered !? LCD displays backlit cannot be set under some value because it won't refresh correctly and it shows as "flickering" as you all call it. Is it so hard not to set to sub value ? Jesus, think for a while.
[Moto G General] bhishmar:
Post MD5 or SHA checksums of firmware files

Can somebody who have successfully updated the 5.0.2 firmware , please post the checksums (MD5 or SHA1) of the download file: "Blur_Version.220.21.28.falcon_umtsds.AsiaRetail.en.03.zip",

so that I can verify the data integrity before attempting an update.

It would be good if the author include this information in his 1st post.

Usually Google firmware download pages include this information, for their own downloads.

This can avoid so much unnecessary confusion with corrupted downloaded files.
[Moto G General] json30:
You do not need this update, there is a OTA available, just check for update from your plhone
[Moto G General] classless:
It seams you missed the point. It was about soak vs. official if they are the same or not and if same bugs (screen flickering was just an exemple) appear on both.

Please read 5-10 posts up. Plus it was not a qwestion, so why did you get mad!?
[Moto G General] bhishmar:
I know that.:)

Just I feel geeky & want to play with it.

Also I want the file in my PC, for future use, if I get soft/hard bricked while doing above.;)

Thanks Ca1v1n for the checksums.

It matched with the file I downloaded from the 1st link (mediafire) in the 1st post.

"Blur_Version.220.21.28.falcon_umtsds.AsiaRetail.e n.03.zip"

Request OP to place this chksum info in post 1.

I have seen some other users here also asking for the same, & some where crying about corrupted downloads.
[Moto G General] arshacl1994@gmail.com:
help me...

Please do help me..sorry for my ignorance...

I have installed the soak test captured file for my xt1033..will I get future updates??

Or I have any disadvantage by installing it..??

Please any one...enlighten me...please...
[Moto G General] bhishmar:
You have not given which version u have used, or which region, in your query.

Following info, is for ver-5.0.2, Asia Region, XT1033:

The version-5.0.2 Soak test OTA which started from Jan-13, was itself finalized for the final official public OTA rollout by Motorola, which started appearing from Jan 23.

So both ones are the same. Anyone installing this version by OTA (or OTA file side loading), is entitled to get (& will get) any future official OTA updates.

The OP has provided links in his 1st post for the captured 5.0.2 OTA file (described above) :

Your query does not indicate whether you have used this file, or a file from a different source.

So to answer your question, if you have used the same file, then YES, u will get future updates, & there is no disadvantage, other than some minor bugs reported here & there by users.

The major one (bug) being WiFi issues, if your WiFi router (which the phone connects to) is configured for a channel number >=12, or in auto mode & settles on >=12 channel-number.

I hope these minor issues will be resolved when the future 5.1 official OTA update rolls out, hopefully within a couple of months.

As OP pointed out, you can only apply this OTA on a stock KitKat 4.4.4. Please check that, and also check the data integrity of the OTA file you used. A few posts above ca1lv1n has provided the MD5/SHA1 checksums of the OTA file. (see post #677)

When I first tried to install from KitKat 4.4.4 to 5.1, I couldn't start the installation either, but after I installed 5.0.2 first, than I only copied the setup file to the internal memory. On the first update check in Settings - About Phone - System Updates it found it automatically, pressed agree and installed with no further issues.. Everything still works as it should since then. My device is a XT1033 (dual sim), with both sims working.

[Moto G General] karthik2211:
Brilliant! Thanks my fellow Moto lover!

You sir have given me the highlight of my day!

I installed the update from my sd card (recovery options - flash) and it has installed and booted up into ART runtime like a charm!

Thanks so much for capturing this OTA. The MEGA link is particularly fast! (To those with broadband / 4G - take note)

For those who are unsure of how to flash the update using recovery options, please get yourselves up to speed by watching videos or reading articles. It's a 2 step process that needs to be followed to the T.

The process:

Step 1:

1) Copy the file to your internal storage.

2) Power your phone down.

3) Press the power & the volume down button together for about five seconds and the let go.

4) You should now have the fast boot screen.

5) Scroll using the DOWN volume button and come to "Recovery"

6) Use the UP volume button to SELECT "Recovery. ------ Your device will now boot to a sleeping android.

Step 2:

1) Do NOT panic.

2) Press the volume UP & POWER buttons together for 5 seconds.

3) Let go.

4) Select Apply Update from SD Card.

5) Find the file & flash!

Bingo! You are good to go. Your device will take about 15 minutes to install the update, 10 minutes to power up, 10 minutes to convert your current applications to ART compatibility. And you have Android 5.0.2 up and running.

Thanks again mate! 5.0.2 is now on!

1. Download 4.4.4 from this link https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5uo5LCdnblrVlhsRmdyeDRYV1E and Extract it to a folder

2. Download mfastboot-v2 and Extract it into the same folder

3. Reboot the phone into Bootloader

4. Run Following commands from the Command Prompt after cd-ing to the folder, one by one

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

mfastboot flash logo logo.bin

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
