So is this latest release the soak? How soon could I expect to get it on my XT1053?

This one is for the XT1053

I didn't ask that mate. I'm using a build for the xt1058 on my xt1060. I'm just asking if this one maybe works better without that bug

Speakerphone is working normally for me, but I never have had a problem with it.
[Moto X General] athulele:
I think only the people who restored via TWRP had the bug.. I'll try out tomorrow morning.. But till then..can anyone who tried the US backup confirm?
[Moto X General] rodohmes:
Would this work on non-dev carrier versions? Is this a TWRP backup or a zip to wipe then flash?

(I'm on a non-dev Sprint version still on the firmware and stuff from the 4.4.4 but would love to try it if possible. I could never get data going with the other TWRP backups posted).
[Moto X General] r_diaz13:
Awesome... I'm unable to download for some odd reason. Going to try on my PC
[Moto X General] demifalcon:
Could you be a little more clear on how you achieved this? I want to know because I am on the 30.BC bootloader on 5.0.2 and I am trying to figure this out. What method did you use to downgrade your phone?
[Moto X General] Bigluc:
I tried this but I'm getting the errors "footer is wrong" and "signature verification failed". What did you use to edit the file?

I have an XT1053 and I'm on the US 5.0.2 Soak, bootloader 30.BC, stock recovery.
[Moto X General] demifalcon:
You have the stock recovery for the 5.0.2 soak test (XT1053)? Could you please follow these instructions to pull your recovery image? http://xdaforums.com//moto-x/genera...est-brazil-t3057509/post60027057#post60027057 I lost my stock recovery for the soak and I need it for the OTA
[Moto X General] Bigluc:
I'm not rooted, so according those those instructions I can't pull it? Here's the Soak file for 5.0.2 though: https://mega.co.nz/#!cRtxFa4K!TWxkB9...SGbFZePSDs7pc0
[Moto X General] demifalcon:
The recovery file in the soak test zip is not flashable. That's why you have to pull it from the system itself, but thanks for trying I just don't know what to do right now
[Moto X General] killerb777:
on an xt1053 (tmobile unlocked bootloader kitkat443) and It doesnt recognize my sim when i flash this from twrp. Anyone have any ideas? Wonder if I need to flash something else.

update: noticed it recognizes my sim but does not show any signal when wifi is off. when i turn on wifi, it connects to 4g and i can make calls. do i need to flash another kernel? still on the stock 443 one
[Moto X General] joemanbui:
Also having problems with data when wifi is off. Signal seems fine but I can't get 4g when wifi is off. Flashed with the twrp backup
[Moto X General] raycosm:
If you're having trouble, FLASH BACK TO FACTORY/STOCK 4.4.4 and DO IT AGAIN

Okay, so if it thinks you're on 4.4 13.11.1Q2.X-69-3/51 4.4 13.11.1Q2.X-69-3/51 even though you're on 4.4.4, you need to use stock recovery instead of TWRP. For some reason the TWRP recovery reports itself as 4.4. So flash stock recovery from Motorola's official 4.4.4 and try to apply the update.

Even if you use TWRP and edit out those 2 lines, you might fail the pre-update validation check in some other way. If stock recovery tells you "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh has unexpected contents" then try uninstalling Xposed. If you don't have Xposed installed but did, try uninstalling it anyway by downloading the Xposed installer, installing Xposed, and then running the uninstall zip that is in the /sdcard/Android/(xposed) folder. After that, flash the official 4.4.4 system.img using mfastboot. Reboot, then use ADB to go into the bootloader, load recovery, and hold both volume keys and power for 2-3 seconds so that you can flash the OTA.

That's how I finally got it to flash after coming from 5.1 Brazil leak with Xposed --> 4.4.4 stock --> 4.4.4 stock with TWRP --> 4.4.4 stock with official recovery. I'm not 100% sure if it's because I had Xposed or if it's because I accidentally rooted when I first installed TWRP but it's better to be as stock as possible anyway.

If you really want TWRP that badly, you can reflash it after you go back to stock and update. Don't comment out the 2 lines, because there's 1000+ lines of code afterward that might cause the OTA to fail.
[Moto X General] athulele:
I just restored it.

It still has the speaker bug in calls.

XT1052.
[Moto X General] funmerlin:
Anyone else having an issue where after upgrading (I manually applied the OTA in stock recovery) it wants to re-optimize all the apps every time you reboot? That means my reboots take 10 minutes :\ I suppose I should factory reset...
[Moto X General] athulele:
Not the OTA, but when I had restored the Brazil TWRP backup, it happened only once.. not on every reboot..

I've installed the US version backup right now and rebooted..but it didnt start optimizing..

1. XT 1053 on 5.0.2 with 30.BC bootloader.

2. Downgrade to 4.4.4 using sbf from motorola web (using mfastboot command or rsdlite), but skip flashing motoboot.img and gpt.bin (There are many thread on xda about how to downgrade without touching bootloader).

3. Booting on 4.4.4 and do setup till reach homescreen.

4. Put the ota capture file (which is attached on above post) on Internal Memory.

5. Reboot on fastboot mode and choose recovery (stock recovery).

6. In "green robot with exclamation" logo press and hold "vol up" 3sec and press power button and release it.

7. Choose update from sdcard and choose the ota capture file (the name must be "Blur_Version.213.44.1.ghost_row.Retail.en.US" which come in zip file)

8. Wait till it rebooted.

9. There I Go, My XT 1053 its on 5.1 retail.en.US now

Has anyone successfully loaded L on a xt1060 vzw developer edition? If so, link to rom and instructions? I am unlocked (obviously) and rooted, currently on stock 4.4.4. Build 213.46.1
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
I've said many times (in other threads), that there are EXCEPTIONS, but there are enough who have bricked, that it is suggested to NOT downgrade, even skipping motoboot.img and gpt.bin!

In fact, read -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/info-warning-risks-downgrading-impacts-t3058202 read items 11, 13 for examples of what I've said... And then check out the links at the bottom of that OP for a few example threads of those who have bricked when trying to revert to 4.4.4 after trying out Lollipop.
[Moto X General] dtg7:
The first time I did a restart it optimized only 6 apps, presumably some new non-lollipop ones I had installed since the update. I just tried it again right now, there was no optimizing done. in fact, it seemed like the boot up was faster than on KK. if this keeps happening I'd suggest doing a cache wipe once. it will probably do the optimizing once right after that, but it might stop the rest.
[Moto X General] s5610:
Yep. As an unbricking guide holder, I totally agree with this statement. There are deadly combinations that can't be brought to life (with backup or w/o it). You never know what Motorola will bring to you.

Do not play with different version shift, don't think yourself smarter ass that google devs, use phone for calls, get a real life, don't worry and be happy ))

Trust me, folks, I have 2 bricked motorolaz already )
[Moto X General] fahrul:
Yup! Totally agree with it.

Don't do it unless you know the risk.

Just do wait guys, next week..they said next week.

Maybe I'm just a lucky one.
[Moto X General] Kustaa:
I've tried the latest TWRP backup from Brazil. I own an xt 1058 from LatAm. It was totally bugged, from speakerphone bug to not recognizing some sd card folders and awful battery life. I hope it was due to bootloader incompatibilities...if not, I'm definitely staying on KK + xposed.
[Moto X General] NeatShot:
Did this bring your bootloader to 30.BE or are you still on 30.BC? There is no motoboot.img in the OTA, so I am concerned that the update will try to 'patch' my existing bootloader and give me something non-standard. Is that what boot.img.p does? This file is many times larger then motoboot.img, so maybe it is able to patch multiple versions of the bootloader?
[Moto X General] Slick52:
I have the twrp backup from a few pages back, the US retail build, running on my Verizon xt1060, and can confirm the speakerphone bug is still present.

Changed the build.prop lines for the CDMA network, same process as the Brazil twrp restore, to get voice calls working on Verizon's network.
[Moto X General] rdmrocha:
motoboot.img is the bootloader

boot.img is the boot partition (where the kernel and the partition mounting is stored)

It's interesting that only gpt.bin is present so I'm guessing that the bootloaders are not getting upgraded. It would be interesting if people that were on 5.02 and did the downgrade can confirm which bootloader they are now. I'm also guessing that people that legitimately received the OTA form 4.4.4 are also on the old bootloader.
[Moto X General] nbell13:
I did the downgrade, and I'm on 30.BE now.
[Moto X General] beefy1986:
5.0.2 (US Soak Test) -> 5.1 (US Soak Test)

I just wanted to add my experience here. I was running the 5.0.2 US soak test (not Brazil). The bootloader version had not been upgraded from the one used in 4.4.4 stock. Because the bootloader hadn't been upgraded, I felt relatively safe downgrading to 4.4.4 to apply the 5.1 soak test update.

- I applied the 4.4.4 package from the Motorola support site (using the fastboot binary in the archive).

- Upon attempting to boot, it would briefly display the Moto boot logo and then go to a black screen. I could, however, still get to fastboot mode.

- After trying to reapply a few times, I decided to try to install CM 12.1 (a nightly build). That installed just fine and I was able to boot up correctly.

- I re-applied the 4.4.4 package and it also booted up correctly this time.

- I booted to fastboot mode again and used that to boot into the stock recovery.

- I used VOL-UP+POWER to display the recovery menu and used the "apply update from sideload (ADB)" option to sideload the 5.1 US Soak Test zip file.

- The phone then booted up to 5.1 correctly.
[Moto X General] demifalcon:
What bootloader version is the one in 4.4.4 stock?
[Moto X General] beefy1986:
I believe 30.B7 is 4.4.4. I just double checked and I'm running 30.BE on the US soak test.
[Moto X General] Bigluc:
I'm on the 5.0.2 soak and my bootloader is 30.BC, which matches to what others are saying. So warning to those trying to downgrade.
[Moto X General] raiderep:
Thank you, flashing 5.1 update right now but downgrade worked fine as described. All I can add is that if you boot loop after the downgrade you can erase cache and factory reset in stock recovery to get it to boot, at least that worked for me.

Edit: I was on the second us leak of 5.02 before...
[Moto X General] fahrul:
Yes its change my bootloader to 30.BE, OTA file doesnt include motoboot.img to change bootloader version its a patch file does it.

Are you also on 30.BC right now? Based on kidjoe's post, dont do downgrade if you cant afford failing. :)

---------- Post added at 07:56 ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 ----------

Dude, the problem that everybody fear its not bootlooped, but phone bricked..

Its nice to know you safe with the downgrade, enjoy the lollipop.

Been 2 days running with it and feel so much better than kitkat does, are you agree with me?
[Moto X General] raiderep:
Yes it is running really good, no complaints!

And I was posting the bootloop thing just in case it happens to someone else. I am well aware of the risks but as long as you stay away from those two files it usually works just fine. I've downgraded a few times...
[Moto X General] solteroluis35:
Can I use the TMO Retail 4.4.4 instead? I can't wait for moto to allow me access to the dev sbf, and I have not find it to be downloaded somewhere else, can anybody share the DE 4.4.4 sbf?
[Moto X General] imnuts:
Why is it that people think that updating to 5.1 is as simple as downloading and compiling some new code? If it were that easy, why does it often take CM a couple weeks to a month to get a new version all merged? And some people think CM is AOSP, and it takes even them time to merge, and that only covers a handful of devices. It takes months to get updates out to all devices for CM, and then it's often buggy as best, and rarely do non-Nexus devices get fully functional without any known issues.

Now imagine you're a huge company catering to millions (not a hundred to maybe a couple thousand) and having to support customers that have the device still. They need to almost ensure that updates are problem free to appease users and get past carrier certifications. Factor in that the phone is a previous generation, and updates are surely going to be slowed down. Add to it that the development behind it went from Qualcomm + Motorola to just Motorola, which is outside of their control and likely unexpected, and you add to the time.

Complain all you want, but the guarantee of timely updates never had a time frame listed on it, and to think that it would be forever is again, stupid at best. People need to be realistic, and it seems that some of the people here are, others are dumb. And the only thing I foresee is that some people here will never be happy, and a reason I stopped doing anything with phones, as the 2% of users that can't be pleased overwhelm the other 98% of satisfied people, and make it not worth it. I can't imagine working for an OEM support group.
[Moto X General] adm1jtg:
I think its mostly all been said before but here is what we got:

we have 5.1 aosp based roms from cm (not fully functional camera issues for one) and aicp (as good as a 5.1 aosp rom is at present)

we have a delay from moto (5.02 was a mess) and no solid timeframes at all on a 5.1 release

we have 2 moto x specific features I cannot live without touchless and active display (not found a good replacement for either)

so.....

If you just have to have 5.1 load aicp its nice, lp 5.1 and shows improved battery in my testing probably about as good as you will get for aosp

if you are like me and want the active display and touchless controls that are proprietary to moto stock quit your *****ing and wait. OMG you act like moto is delaying on purpose or something. If its not released yet its cause there are still issues to be worked out. My god cm12.1 is only a few days old.

Personally I would rather wait months longer for a stable 5.1 rather then have had moto push a buggy 5.02 and go EOL on the phone, as we all know whatever they release is likely to be the last we will ever see for gen 1 moto x.

Lastly you have to realize this upgrade is not some simple 442 to 444, google has done a MAJOR redesign and in doing so until 5.1 made a less then stable os. Read some of the user feedback on the moto g 5.x upgrade or the s4 or dozens of other phones that got the "faster updates". Google seriously messed up on lp and 5.1 is the first version worth really looking at so stop *****ing we didnt get a fast update to an os version very few people were happy with anyway.

[Moto X General] mastarifla:
It's very odd, seeing how the build date for the kernel was so recent...

I am really surprised if this is the final version, as usually a soak test is done before a software push
[Moto X General] rockmen1:
But releasing without any small scale test is peculiar for motorola.
[Moto X General] Hitesh1802:
The main reason that we want 5.1 is battery life stand by time sucks. Even in airplane mode i lost upto 10% of battery over night all moto features off including active display. And no one is spoil brat here we want update as promised by motorola. If you dnt want update its ok for u but for us we want it badly.

We have no official 5.0.2
[Moto X General] s5610:

[Moto X General] St.Noigel:
It could be fake.. We have no confirmation from Moto or David Shuster
[Moto X General] VitaTaf:
There are multiple confirmations, some with screenshots, here and here. All of them appear to be on the 5.0.2 soak test before taking the 5.1 OTA.
[Moto X General] s5610:
Alright, seems to be true. Another Brazilian user tells, that people getting it in Brazil. But where are dumps... It's public final, or again OTA test under DNA..
[Moto X General] adity:
I don't think it's fake.

What could a person possibly gain from faking it.

Also it would require elaborate efforts to change the kernel build date
[Moto X General] ThunderBolt_BR:
I am from Brasil, my Moto X is the retail version, I also didn't subscribe for the Soak teste and I just checked if there was an update avaliable to my phone and the answer was no...

[Moto X General] s5610:
Don't take older OTA than your phone was installed already, or you are bricked. Update only manually.
[Moto X General] NeatShot:
So 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 (minus motoboot/gpt) to 5.1 OTA is fine, since 5.1 is newer then 5.0.2?
[Moto X General] btwin:
I have the same problem. Didn't manually applied the OTA, though, as I just come from a plain OTA. Do you have rooted already and installed xposed framework?
[Moto X General] Bigluc:
Could someone who successfully installed the 5.1 OTA by changing the updater-script explain their process? I've tried both deleting the getprop lines and also changing the lines to test for the 5.0.2 version (tricking it into returning a positive result), but I still get a error regarding the footer and it not loading.
[Moto X General] s5610:
Yes. Phone remembers all what you have done with it in the past. And if you push lower version OTA (consisting bootloader), things screw up. Higher - no problem.

---------- Post added at 04:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 AM ----------

Not needed, afaik. It should install easily, if conditions are met. If they are not (wrong target version), system will be corrupted, at least, or even BRICKED.
[Moto X General] Bigluc:
It is, because the OTA checks for 4.4.4 or 5.1. In theory upgrading from 5.0.2 to 5.1 should be completely fine, as 5.1 contains a newer bootloader and is a successive update. Those of us on the 5.0.2 soak unofficially just can't upgrade because there isn't access to the MFN official OTA or SBF for 5.1.
[Moto X General] solteroluis35:
Yep, I just tried it... and I even tried it with the XT1053 TMO 4.4.4 sbf (named like this: XT1053_TMO_RETAIL-US_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.29.1_2_cid9_CFC_1FF.xml.zip), not the developer edition from Motorola site.

Right now it is on "Android is upgrading".

This worked on my XT1058, will try in the next few days with an actual XT1053 but I expect no flaws.
[Moto X General] NeatShot:
Thanks. I proceeded with the downgrade to 4.4.4 and then installed the 5.1 OTA on my XT1053. Bootloader was updated to 30.BE and everything seems to be working fine.

I am happy I took a chance with 5.0.2 and got to enjoy Lollipop for almost 3 months before it was officially released.
[Moto X General] funmerlin:
Yes, I have xposed installed and softboot has saved the day!

Just to update anyone else who is in this situation...Recap: Every time I reboot in 5.1.1, Android optimizes all 150+ apps (which takes roughly 10 to 15 minutes or so, so it is a pain). Every full reboot does this.

I've tried all kinds of cache clears and factory resets (both stock recovery, and on TWRP).

I've even flashed back to stock 4.4.4 (except I didn't flash the motoboot.img or gpt.bin to avoid bricking the phone... ) and tried re-flashing the OTA zip using the stock recovery. Multiple times.

After a day of futzing with it all day on Sunday, I figure the only way to fully address this is to wait for Motorola to post the full firmware image.

But XPOSED and Gravitybox have saved the day. The soft boot option bypasses the app optimization. So it reboots in just a few seconds, as soft boot is meant to do.

Plus since Gravitybox is working well on Lollipop, and it's added the "soft boot" option to my reboot menu. So I'm happy enough for now. Everything is running great otherwise ;)
[Moto X General] cocoralladoo:
Hi friend, can u tell me how u flash 5.1 TMo XT1053? Do u flash by stock recovery?
[Moto X General] XDarnek:
Could I do this on TWRP recovery?

Thanks
[Moto X General] wally509:
I guess it's ok. I didn't do a factory reset, just updated over what I had, so I don't know if any issues is because of not having a fully clean system. Here's my thoughts from using it over the weekend.

Good:

- I'm finding everything smoother, quicker.

- notification bar quick settings are quick. Useful toggles for wifi, flashlight, etc.

Not so good:

- Moto Assist doesn't work for me. Three "Moto has stopped" upon startup. So I'm not getting the Driving, Sleeping, etc. modes anymore.

- I've had several lockups. Not sure if it's Lollipop, or my launcher (z launcher), or both. I'm trying Aviate now, and i'll try stock later if it recurs. Seems to trigger when i force close apps (swiping away from the app list). it's not 100% frozen, but the launcher is gone. so basically useless.

- I'm not fond of all the white color cards/tiles used in notifications. Too bright for my eyes.

- battery settings missing the time duration zoom in to see what's using your data.

- Lock screen seems to not have widget support anymore.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
No. You can't flash the SBF via TWRP, and the OTA zip will only install via Stock Recovery, Not TWRP.
[Moto X General] XDarnek:
Ok, I'll have to wait then.

Thank you for the reply.
[Moto X General] TheWhiteChallenger:
Are fxz files expected soon? I can't OTA
[Moto X General] NeatShot:
Yes, after you downgrade to 4.4.4 (skipping motoboot/gpt), you will have the stock recovery in place to flash the OTA.

I followed the instructions posted by fahrul and had zero problems.
[Moto X General] wally509:
Well the lockups seem unrelated to launcher. Happened with Aviate and stock. Might be my app (final fantasy record keepers). I cleared it's cache, uninstalled, reinstalled. So far it hasn't recurred.
[Moto X General] osiris355:
Would those of you that have gotten the retail US soak test consider it a success? I am hoping Motorola goes full deployment later this week.
[Moto X General] gabo_10:
Hi, I'm a little confused my device is currently running 5.1.1 with CM12, but my bootloader version is 30.BC because upgrade the 5.0.2 soak when was released, so I'm able to downgrade to 4.4.4 and with this downgrade bootloader version? Or should I wait to the full update of lollipop?
[Moto X General] mroneeyedboh:
So once this is out, I'd assume people are going to root it then for us that are on 4.4, we can just upgrade and not have to disable out mods etc etc like some have to to accept the OTA, right
[Moto X General] lolcopter:
Shoulda done a clean install
[Moto X General] NeatShot:
This worked for me and several others so far. Updated my bootloader to 30.BE. I was previously on the 5.0.2 soak. Just flash the stock 4.4.4 and skip motoboot.img and gpt.bin.
