It's the 3.0 alpha 4 installer with the v74 SDK 22 arm framework

Edit: feels weird to wake up without checking four links for news on this update. Been doing that for months it seems.
[Moto X General] AndrewNeo:
Are you using the correct version though? You should have -236 now, not -036.
[Moto X General] Dreamtrust:
Guys I need help!

Plz share boot.img file from 5.1 firmware, because when i was flashing recovery i flashed boot by mistake with twrp.img file T_T
[Moto X General] bigshotproducer:
Ah. Yeah, sounds right. Will d/l that version. Thanks!
[Moto X General] P!X3L:
I too was not able to get the OTA going since I flashed the latest factory image from Motorola (MOTO X, VZW Dev Edition: KK-4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26.1-1 (VZW)).

I saw the mismatched fingerprint error and set out to find VZW_XT1060_4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26_CFC_1FF.xml.zip. This is the one I used. I have fastboot and adb working perfectly, but for some reason (maybe win10) I wasn't able to get rsd to detect my device. Since it's really just a set of fastboot instructions I flashed them manually using the fastboot.exe within the latest image from moto. I should note I also skipped the erase userdata step as well.

mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
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
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.bin
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase customize
mfastboot erase clogo
mfastboot oem config carrier vzw
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear

Within minutes after optimizing apps I got the prompt to upgrade to the first OTA, and after completing that and rebooting and optimizing apps yet again, I got the second OTA update prompt.

Edit: Actually received 3 OTAs after flashing.
[Moto X General] pegb856:
I updated this morning and let it update my apps before it updated Google services and so far I've had no issues. I'm completely stock, no reset or cach wipe. Everything is running smoothly.
[Moto X General] fopoku2k2:
Good for you. I had to reset to fix Google app and services issues
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
If you're having fingerprint issues it's because you missed an update. There are a total of 3 updates needed from base 4.4.4 > 5.1

1. Pre update (a few months old)

2. Pre 5.1 update (the first file [MENTION=552429]imnuts[/MENTION] uploaded)

3. 5.1 update (second file [MENTION=552429]imnuts[/MENTION] uploaded).

You need to check for updates after flashing 4.4.4 prior to flashing the two uploaded files.
[Moto X General] imnuts:
Here is the first update (212.166.4)

Here is the second update (222.26.7)

These should install via custom recovery, but I haven't tested it, so I don't know what recovery(ies) may work to flash them. It still performs all of the file checks, so as long as you are on a stock /system partition, you should be ok. I just removed the device checks, since most, if not all custom recoveries seem to break that for our phone. Again, these are untested and you're flashing at your own risk, but they should work, assuming your recovery is ok. These are just the two OTA files that came out, so you'll need to be on the latest image that was pushed out ~1 month ago or so to flash.
[Moto X General] P!X3L:
The thing is, if you flashed the latest factory image from Motorola (KK-4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26.1-1 (VZW)), you won't get the first OTA "pre update", and subsequently the second OTA (pre 5.1 update) will fail due to the fingerprint mismatch.
[Moto X General] Skeetch79:
An upgrade should not require a factory reset, but one is recommended when upgrading between software versions (i.e. ice cream sandwich->jellybean, jellybean->kit kat, kit kat->lollipop). In this case, a factory reset would be highly recommended in order to reduce the amount of issues which can occur. Also you would be able to have a better sense of whether the issue arises from the "dirty" upgrade/flash out from the new "clean" system itself.
[Moto X General] dmbfan36_23:
Not true. I unrooted, removed Xposed, flashed the recovery and system img files from KK-4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26.1-1 via mfastboot this morning. I then checked for system updates a couple times and go the pre-update from a few months ago. After that, I was able to get both of the 5.1 updates.

I'm now looking for the stock recovery.img for 5.1 so that I can flash a custom recovery and re-root. I want to be able to revert back to stock if needed.

If you request access to that download, the link they send you is for this file: VZW_KXA21.12-L1.26_212.55.26.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US.tgz

I just did it yesterday.
[Moto X General] P!X3L:
The link I received is for this file: VZW_212.55.26.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US.tgz which actually leaves your system version at KXA21.12-L1.26.1. For whatever reason, I wasn't getting any OTA updates until I found the FXZ for KXA21.12-L1.26 and once that was done, I started getting the aforementioned updates. Just throwing it out there in case others have the same problem.

About to update to lollipop on my XT1060 developer edition Verizon. I'm just gonna flash back to latest 4.4.4 image from Motorola's g-drive, take that last 4.4.4 OTA, then just download the two lollipop updates and install.

1. surely my titanium backup backups will work?

2. does tether work? someone claims it does by just adding a line into build.prop, not what I'd done on 4.4.4

3. can I go back to 4.4.4 after the update if I need to or is this a one-way update?

Thanks
[Moto X General] Liamfm:
Hopeful someone can help - I'm on KXA21.12-L1.26.1

TWRP and stock 4.4.4 (rooted)

I'm confused as to my next step. I get "your device's software is up to date" on every check.

I just put my nandroid back ysterday to get me back to 4.4.4 from NX rom. I've been running that since late July.

Any help on what I need to flash? Prefer to keep my 4.4.4 and take the incremental updates, but having a lot of trouble getting it to tell me I am not up to date.

Thanks
[Moto X General] publicanimal:
I would flash the system.img for KXA21.12-L1.26.1 and then take the updates, then re-root once you get Lollipop installed.

You can get the factory images from Motorola:

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images

You might have to wait a day or so for them to give you access to the files.
[Moto X General] Liamfm:
Thats what I have on my phone now, and I also have those files from Moto (granted access yesterday). I haven't pushed any of them to my phone via fastboot yet. I was hopeful I only needed to push recovery to take the update.

Should I start with recovery, then see if the OTA is available?

Is the version number in the file name the version it is going FROM or the version you will flash TO?
[Moto X General] speedye1:
Was running stock 4.4.4, ran two upgrades this morning to 5.1 and did a wipe then fresh setup. After reinstalling a few apps, I see no shortcuts on my home page or the apps/widgets screen. Anyone else seeing this?
[Moto X General] Fly135s:
You need the stock recovery. It will not work with TWRP.
[Moto X General] JMB1:
I am also on build 26.1, and can tell you on that build the OTA won't be available. If anyone has the June 2015 minor update, that is evidently required to bring this build back to OTA availability, that would really help. I have searched, not easy to find!
[Moto X General] Liamfm:
:( So I need to flash my phone with the June 2015 minor update per the post above, then uninstall TWRP? (in that order?)

Anyone have the June update? And after I do that, what version should show on my system screen? (and do I flash that via twrp?)
[Moto X General] donslade:
This is the update I used in June. I believe I had to re-install the stock recovery to install then installed TWRP.
[Moto X General] JMB1:
thanks! do you remeber if you had to rename it update.zip to flash from sd card in stock recovery?
[Moto X General] Liamfm:
EDIT:

I think I've got the stock recovery.img back on my phone now.

Next steps to install the update you used in June?

I see the following - what am I flashing via recovery?

file_contexts

fsg.mbn

gpt.bin

META-INF

metadata.gpb

metadata.json

patch

recovery
[Moto X General] JMB1:
:( Just tried to install. Recovery said this update is for build ending in 26, user build ends in 26.1. Fingerprint doesn't match (or something along that point) and aborted.
[Moto X General] donslade:
No, did not have to rename but I did go the manual selection route. You can search on here on how to manually apply an update after sideloading.

With this installed I get the asked to take the 1st OTA.

I'll wait a while to see how 5.1 works for others before taking the updates. Don't really want to return my phone to stock (bunch of apps disabled, Exposed, GravityBox, etc. installed) to take the update and find out it has bugs I can't live with or horrible battery life. I have a Dev Ed and I'd rather wait for a full ROM file from Moto anyway.

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

Don't know why. I used this on my phone on the latest 4.4.4 up to June. I had to return it to stock by reflashing stock recovery and stock system.img after removing Xposed and modules. After that I manually installed this update then reflashed TWRP.
[Moto X General] JMB1:
I think it has to do with what stock image you flashed. If you got your stock image from XDA or somewhere other than Motorola (which I went to instinctively because I have the Developer Edition), than its probably the one ending in 26 (the correct OTA build). Motorola's ends in 26.1 for some reason.
[Moto X General] SR3TLAW:
So it sounds really the EASY way to get official 5.1 for VZW is to wait for a ZiP to be posted then flash it..
[Moto X General] s5610:
Was it posted already clean non-rooted TWRP backup of kernel and system? Anybody with 1060DE?
[Moto X General] fopoku2k2:
OK so now that I have Lollipop working on my phone does anyone know how I can root it?
[Moto X General] crakedparrot:
My thoughts exactly.
[Moto X General] SR3TLAW:
Flash the image via mfastboot

---------- Post added at 06:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 AM ----------

Same way you obtained root the first time. There's an mfastboot command (something like "oemunlock") that you bind to the unlock code received from Motorola. May be wrong but the code is device specific; so the original one should still work
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
If you have an unlocked bootloader, you flash TWRP Recovery and root like before.

If you have a LOCKED bootloader, you don't root.
[Moto X General] fopoku2k2:
I've never been rooted. Kindly give me detailed instructions

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

[Moto X General] Liamfm:
I think this is the problem as well. I flashed all the files I downloaded from motorola's site (google doc) for my Dev Ed. It changed my build to 26 and I then was able to quickly install three updates and am now on 5.1!!!

Sweet!
[Moto X General] JMB1:
How did you get the 26 build from Motorola? I just re-downloaded yesterday, and was 26.1.

When I downloaded MOTXT1060DEV_VZW_4.4.4-212.55.26.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US.tgz and flashed system.img it brought me to 26
[Moto X General] jco23:
it usually is. however, check to see if it is keeping your device awake - if so, then you probably need to update the app as the current one is searching for that update.
[Moto X General] JMB1:
Only options I see for download is 26.1
[Moto X General] Liamfm:
I can post the file later today
[Moto X General] P!X3L:
It looks like people are getting access to two different files when they request the XT1060 4.4.4 image from moto. The file I received access to is: VZW_212.55.26.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US.tgz which brings your system to 26.1. If you're stuck on 26.1, check out my post #518.
[Moto X General] JMB1:
thanks I'll try that tonight. Was hoping Motorola would just post the 5.1 image file by now. They've got to have and overwhelming number of requests for access to the updated ROM. ANyone have any idea how long it usually takes them...weeks/months to post developer images?

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

Also, have read some rumblings about TWRP/root on the new 5.1. Once on 5.1 (via OTA), can we still just install the latest TWRP and latest Supersu through fastboot? Then can we install the Xposed framework for Lollipop? Anyone see issues with this plan?
[Moto X General] SR3TLAW:
Ideally I hope so
[Moto X General] bigshotproducer:
That's what I did. Flashed Twrp/SU. Xposed/gravity box.

[Moto X General] P!X3L:
No idea on when they'll post the image. However, I'm fairly confident it will be within the next couple weeks. Once on 5.1 via OTA, I installed twrp-2.8.6.0-ghost.img as I read that twrp-2.8.7.0-ghost.img wasn't recognizing internal storage. I used the latest download of SuperSU and didn't have any problems. I'm not sure about xposed, but if all you're after is tethering, you can add the following line to your build.prop and reboot and you should be good to go.

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
[Moto X General] JMB1:
Thanks, hate to ask (and know I could research), but can you tell me where to add that line in the build.prop, and do you have to change permissions, etc?

Device XT1060 DE

Been reading through the thread since yesterday. I have not been successful on updating my phone. I had xposed installed and TWRP. I uninstalled xposed and flashed stock recovery from MOTXT1060DEV_VZW_4.4.4-212.55.26 yesterday. I had 2 updates before doing the last big update for Lollipop. I got the fingerprint error. I recently flashed system.img from the same xml file through rashr. Im not sure if that would do the trick. any help would be great.

Unlock before or after updating to 5.1?

I've got the Dev Ed XT1060. I have an unlock code, but my phone is still locked because I've been waiting patiently for 5.1 to drop. Should I unlock/wipe before I install the 5.1 updates or after? Or does it not matter? Thanks.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Understand that doing the fastboot oem unlock command will wipe your device... BACKUP FIRST... copy all your pix, videos, music, downloads, etc.. to your PC (or upload them to google drive, dropbox or the like). And make note of the apps you use for later.

So for a smooth update.. you might want to unlock (which will wipe), finish minimal initial setup (i.e. setup your google account, but don't install apps, configure home screens, etc), take the OTA's... After you are on 5.1, then fully setup and customize your phone and install your apps.
[Moto X General] P!X3L:
You don't have to change permissions unless you delete and replace the file. If you just edit the file with something like ES Explorer, add that line to the bottom, save, reboot and you're good to go.
[Moto X General] Meticode:
I updated to 5.1 on Verizon through OTA. So far, so good. Battery life is about the same, getting about 4-ish hours of on sceen time. I wake up at 2:45am in the morning for work and go to bed between 8-9pm and my batter is usually around 25-35% by then.

The only thing I don't like about the update is how they changed the proximity sensor to wake the phone. You have to hold your hand over it for 5-ish seconds and remove it away to wake it vs. the old "wave your hand in front of it" to wake it. Also I wish the recent apps that are shown open had a "Kill All" button.
[Moto X General] Verdnan:
I didn't know the proximity sensor worked without the bug.

There is semi-root (read only) on 4.4.4 (and 5.1 too, available soon) in this forum section. It is working on 100%, and trouble free on 95%. Trustworthy, or not, you choose :cowboy:

If you want the ability to flash different roms you need to be able to unlock your bootloader.

Since you are on 4.4.4 and don't have the dev edition XT1060, you can't unlock your bootloader.

What does the above link mean? Sorry if this is old, but seems like 5.x is available already? I'm confused
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Yes, this is old. The release notes for 5.1 were posted before the first pushes of the OTA's started.

So far, the OTA started with the Retail XT1053, and BR XT1058.. it has slowly been made available for others, and MFN sent out invites for an ATT Soak Test. Verizon, Sprint, and some other models of the 2013 X (or 1st Gen Moto X) are still waiting..

Everything is working great here. I am glad motorola and Verizon waited until Lollipop was mature enough to roll out to our phones. Until this exact version it was pretty buggy on pretty much everything. Kit Kat was much more stable.
