Here's the features listed for the XT1225 Motorola Marshmallow ROM, which just got officially released (after 4 soak tests).

MOTOROLA SUPPORT DOCUMENT (Brazilian Portuguese)

https://motorola-global-portal-pt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/110361

GOOGLE TRANSLATE (ENGLISH) VERSION:

https://goo.gl/keWihg

I find it funny Google Translate converts "Moto Maxx" in the Brazilian Portuguese original support document to "Droid Turbo" for the English translation.

ORIGINAL

GOOGLE TRANSLATE - ENGLISH

It should stay "Moto Maxx", no matter the language.

Thank You But ..

Thank you for this information .. but my device is Moto MAXX xt1250 , not xt1225 ..

I have the US version..

Anyway, do you know when will I get Marshmallow ? thank you again ..

PS : nougat android is coming very soon .. and we are still waiting for marshmallow ! that's really shame

Thank You XDA Team (Y)
[Moto Maxx General] Gand4lf23:
Excelent! All we have to do is... yes, keep waiting! LOL!

But as the fellow said... Nougat is around the corner. Shame indeed.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
You can have Marshmallow right now if you want. Custom ROMs with Marshmallow been available for all Quarks (including XT1250) since February 2016: CM13, Resurrection Remix, Mokee AOSP, even an "unofficial" CM13 which is a hybrid of CM13 and Resurrection Remix.

Depends on how bad you want Marshmallow.

Last time, XT1254 got official Motorola Lollipop in July 2015, 2.5 months after the XT1225 (April 2015). Then, the XT1250 then got Lollipop almost 9 MONTHS after the XT1254 (February/March 2016). Yeah, Marshmallow had been out for MONTHS before the XT1250 got Lollipop. And even then, it was the OLD version of Lollipop (5.0.2) given to the XT1225, not the updated 5.1 given to the XT1254.

Of course, the XT1225 had Lollipop via custom ROM in March 2015 -- a month before Motorola gave it to us.
[Moto Maxx General] deepss1:
xt 1225 Brasil & xt 1225 India

will updated version be same for both ?

I'm on xt 1225 India.

waiting since long for 6.0.1

very much excited to use layers theme ;)
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
[MENTION=7109882]iiWoodstocK[/MENTION] on XT1254 used XT1125 soak test #4 with [MENTION=5747496]baybutcher27[/MENTION] kernel and flashed XT1254 radio. He ran XT1225 Motorola Marshmallow ROM on his XT1254 Droid Turbo.

You can do the same with your XT1250. Just flash your radio and use the custom kernel.

The OTA final version is reportedly same code as soak test #4.

And there's a way to install it with TWRP, if you wish.
[Moto Maxx General] mirdones:
Is this final version any different than soak 4?

Finally the ota a river on my former Moto maxx Mexican xt1225

It weightsb956MB, and now I an regretting having switched to the Moto x force, the two selling points for ms were the unbreakable screen and the marsmalllow. But after 5 days came to learn that the unbreakable meant plastic that get scratches like crazy.. so ended adding a tempered glass protector from my stack of the Moto maxx just tp get it cracked the week later :(

The lack of updates of the Max wa a the only thing reassuring me it was not a bad id es a to give the maxx to my wife, but now that foolish excuse is gone too.

Anyway I am happy for you guys.

Update: The chop gesture to turn on thw light is not there, it says to come with May 2016 security patches, but still the stagefright detector reports 1 crítical, 13 High, and one moderate :(
[Moto Maxx General] guilleart:
Has anyone in Mexico with an unlocked XT1225 received the final OTA yet?
[Moto Maxx General] tekilux:
Guilleart i posted yesterday that i got it, it is Mexican xt1225 unlocked.

OTA message arrived yesterday morning and so far working fine, not hving the karate chop and seems many vulnerabilities were not patched but besides that it is good. I hace a feeling it is more responsive but could be placebo effect.
[Moto Maxx General] veccini:
Can you share us a screenshot from the "About the phone" Section? please ...

Opinions

Guys I need some help and opinions, I have the mexican XT1225 (bootloader unlocked, TWRP, rooted) and yesterday I've got the OTA notification to Marshmallow, but I don't know what is better:

Unroot, quit TWRP, lock bootloader and finally update.

Other options like FlashFire from Chainfire.

Give it a try to this.

If you can help me, I'll be grateful :D
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
You can flash the firmware from a file (links are in this forum) and not re-lock the bootloader.

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

You can turn the chop chop back on. It's just disabled not actually removed.

Method how is in the Soak Test thread. You need to change one build prop line.
[Moto Maxx General] Mario0550mg:
If I'm not wrong, soak4 is the same via OTA that I've got, so I can make this tutorial (http://xdaforums.com/moto-maxx/help/tutorial-moto-maxx-6-0-1-brazil-soak-t3340820)?
[Moto Maxx General] Steve-x:
How is it possible that after 4 soak tests they still didn't fix the mobile radio battery drain when Wi-Fi is active???

Boggles the mind, must be some first year interns writing the code.

Marshmallow upgrade official announcement for México

There is an official announcement for Marshmallow upgrade, I'm not able to post the link due to forum rules (less than 10 posts :( )

Up to this moment, my phone hasn't received the notification and I'd also tried the option to check if there were system upgrades available. Let's wait more hours.
[Moto Maxx General] veccini:
Send to me a private message with the link, please
[Moto Maxx General] ddaza:
8:48 pm CST and no update yet

well, almost 9 pm CST in México and no update on my phone yet. Still waiting...
[Moto Maxx General] ddaza:
no upgrade available yet

almost 10 am CST in México and waiting for Marshmallow upgrade. Anybody else in MX with upgrade notification or more lucky than I? :confused:
[Moto Maxx General] Gand4lf23:
Give it at least one more week.

Una semana más, por lo menos.
[Moto Maxx General] Quetzalfp:
So finally the mexican 6.0 OTA is out there, now I'm not sure if I need it, I already have Marshmallow with the Mokee ROM, and I really like its features. what you guys think?

thanks!
[Moto Maxx General] Gand4lf23:
Are all the Moto features usable? Like doble shake cam, notifications screen, Voice, on that ROM? Battery life? Signal reception?

I always choose stock ROMs because of the functionality, but just in case this MM doesn't work as expected.
[Moto Maxx General] Quetzalfp:
It has those feature plus some more, the main issue would be the battery. But I see your point, I'll try the stock ROM and see how it works and then I'll decide.

thanks!
[Moto Maxx General] ddaza:
finally, I got the message that system upgrade is available on my Moto Maxx, I will check it and test it

It seems that I'm not able to load my screen captures. Download messages said that it will take around 20 minutes to download the upgrade.
[Moto Maxx General] serch_mx:
Hi!

I got the upgrade in my phone (XT1225 Retail MX), but I'm wondering if there is a full firmware to flash with RSD?

[Moto Maxx General] ddaza:
Just launched the update 10 minutes ago, the upgrade screen mentioned 30 minutes to full upgrade, hoping that fast charge issue will be solved after upgrading to Android 6.0.1

My moto maxx updated to M. I am having Indian version of XT1225
[Moto Maxx General] mistaboerns:
Hi guys...I recently bought a used Moto Maxx XT1225. Currently on Android 5.0.2, but I keep receiving OTA notifications for 6.0.1. Downloading works, but upon installation (after reboot) I get an Error after approx 20% of the progress bar with a red exclamation mark for a second, then it automatically reboots with 5.0.2 and tells me there was a problem with the update and no changes have been applied.

My device is

-not rooted

-locked bootloader

So I read the whole thread here... Very entertaining and informative though! First of all thanks for everything I learned today.

Another Google search before that found some hints that it might be connected with automatic date and time settings, but disabling them didn't help either. (I live in Austria, Europe if that's of any importance)

I'm not an expert, so I'm posting both, my "about phone" section and the announced OTA update. Both are for PR, but what bothers me a little is the "CUST"- part in the Baseband-Version, so doesn't that mean that at any point in time before somebody made modifications in software? Might that be the reason for the update to fail? And if yes, is there anything I can do to make it work? (except for rooting/flashing I mean)
[Moto Maxx General] immadeofpixels27:
Why don't you want to unlock your bootloader? We have Android N custom ROMs already... There's really no reason to use stock MM at this point.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
1) You can boot into recovery and try to clear the cache. Then let the OTA download again and try to install it.

2) If that doesn't work, then sorry you need to manually flash. That does NOT require rooting but does require a PC and some software.

You can manually flash the Marshmallow update. It arrived back in July and is available many places. You don't need install via OTA.

3) Or as the post above said, unlock your bootloader and join the world of XDA.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
The CUST part is probably for customer, not custom. No one has modified your baseband.

Even on custom ROMs and running custom kernels, on Quark we use stock radio/baseband. Nobody has made any custom basebands for this phone.

Here's a screenshot of someone's Moto Turbo XT1225 (India version) . See the baseband? It's stock India/Europe. Also has "cust" on the end, probably for customer.
[Moto Maxx General] mistaboerns:
Aah, ok. Thanks for clarification!

---------- Post added at 19:42 ---------- Previous post was at 19:34 ----------

That's the plan. But not yet. I rather want to get into all that before, know "how to" in case I mess something up. I had one older Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 years ago which I succesfully rooted in the end, but the way of getting there was really tough for me. And then another Moto X 2013, but that was rooted already, so it was easy installing CM then. Loved that and all the possibilities.

---------- Post added at 19:45 ---------- Previous post was at 19:42 ----------

@1: Yeah, tried that already. Dind't change anything though.

@2: Do you mean fastboot and sdk?

@3: That would be the goal anyway, but later.

How to Manually Official Firmware on any Motorola Device

Sorry, mail notification was hijacked by my spam filter.

So thanks a lot again, that'll be the next thing for me to try.
[Moto Maxx General] mistaboerns:
If you allow me one last question:

On that reference site you posted they refer to RSD Lite. Can't I just use that? Or is that not feasible for an upgrade from Lollipop to Marshmallow?
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
From the op of that thread:

To use RSDLite you have to make sure you are using the country-specific firmware for your country-specific Quark. If your phone is Puerto Rico Moto Maxx XT1225, then you have to use PR Marshmallow -- you can't use Brazil, India, or Mexico Marshmallow. But yes, you can use RSDLite if you follow those conditions.

Whereas with msfastboot, you can flash any country's XT1225 firmware over any XT1225. (As long as it's equal or higher OS version. There are ways to downgrade but that's another topic). Back when I got my Puerto Rico and Mexico XT1225 phones in late 2014, India XT1225 launched with Lollipop 5.0.2 in March 2015 and the other XT1225 were still stuck on Kitkat 4.4.4. I flashed India XT1225 Lollipop 5.0.2 over both my Kitkat 4.4.4 Puerto Rico and Mexico XT1225 phones with msfastboot. I could not have done that with RSDLite. Then over the next few months Lollipop 5.0.2 rolled out for the other XT1225, but Puerto Rico was almost last. I didn't care, I already had stock Lollipop. ;)

Then after that I decided to flash the 5.1.1 custom ROM from CM.
[Moto Maxx General] mistaboerns:
Yeah,worked! I'll include you in my prayers man!
[Moto Maxx General] Bobboman:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...en-source-kernel-files-for-the-droid-turbo-2/

maybe soon? but i'm not holding my breath (yes i know its the droid turbo 2...)
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
If not, then CM13 to the rescue. We received Lollipop 5.0.2 (March 2015) via CM12 (custom ROM based on Lollipop) a MONTH before Motorola released Lollipop to any Quark (April 2015 with Moto Turbo XT1225). Thanks to [MENTION=2228410]Skrilax_CZ[/MENTION].

We then received 5.1.1 (CM12.1) when Motorola has still not released that to any Quark. Motorola released 5.1 for Droid Turbo XT1254 in July 2015, but XT1225 Moto Turbo/Moto Maxx is still on 5.0.2. XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx is on 4.4.4. Yet, all Quark custom ROMs have 5.1.1. ;)

And we may receive Marshmallow before Motorola gives it to any Quark. Sure Motorola releasing it would help our devs, but they've done it before without Motorola...
[Moto Maxx General] richii0207:
So are you saying that the maxx is getting marshmallow just as I've been saying in my previous two posts? I'm not sure if you're venting about how long the updates are taking or that you are not sure you are getting the marshmallow update. What exactly were you disagreeing with me about?

I was merely stating the fact that we, Droid Turbo owners, are getting the update as stated on the Motorola site. Now we can go back and forth about how we may like or dislike Motorola but that's not going to make the update come any faster.

Who knows, maybe some MFN testers already have it...[emoji6]
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Yes, from the very first post of this thread (Oct. 2, 2015) -- as I've said over and over, and did you even read the first post of this thread or the first two or three posts? -- Motorola has said we are getting Marshmallow.

WORDS, not actions. Shouldn't take 4 or more months, and lesser phones shouldn't get it first.

This Motorola Quark phone is 95% the same as the Moto Nexus 6. Same CPU/GPU/RAM/resolution. Same manufacturer. When did the Moto Nexus 6 get Marshmallow? October 5, 2015.

If Motorola wanted, this phone could have Marshmallow the day after the Moto Nexus 6 -- especially the ones straight from the factory with no carrier affiliation. Or the next week, or the next month.

Somebody in Motorola/Lenovo doesn't like this phone. It took FIVE months for any of the QUARKS to get Lollipop from Motorola, after an almost IDENTICAL phone (Moto Nexus 6) launched with Lollipop. Took 9 months for Droid Turbo to get Lollipop.

We're a little tired of paying this much money and being treated with disdain instead of valuable customers. Sure, giving updates doesn't make them money, but it sure helps loyalty. They should keep that in mind.
[Moto Maxx General] TerpU82:
I got the Puerto Rico version, HOOOOOOOOOOOOO last to get updated likely :)
[Moto Maxx General] christian5916:
Yeah, you ask LeMoto en Twitter and this is all they do ?
[Moto Maxx General] razzorchile:
:confused:

you know why isn't exist a version of Android MM for our devices? ( cm13 )

:rolleyes:
[Moto Maxx General] christian5916:
The devs need the kernel source for it to happen, haven't found anything about Motorola releasing it to the public, so I think thats a long way to go buddy.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Because we have one very hardworking dev [MENTION=2228410]Skrilax_CZ[/MENTION] who has a day job, besides being a part of the CM team. He gave us CM12 and 12.1 -- and all other ROMs (Resurrection Remix, Mokee, Nexus Experience, and even the "Chinese" ripoff ROMs with malware that were banned in this forum) use his kernel. Even [MENTION=6324546]BayB[/MENTION]uther27's excellent custom kernel is built on the CM Quark kernel [MENTION=2228410]Skrilax_CZ[/MENTION] made. If it weren't for him, and him alone, we would not have ANY custom ROMs or custom kernels for our Quarks.

[MENTION=2228410]Skrilax_CZ[/MENTION] even bought a 2nd Moto Maxx (Quark), he is using for CM13 (Marshmallow) development, while still using his daily phone for continuing CM12.1 dev work.

But he's only one guy. And I know he seems to travel a lot for his work. So, that's why. It's not like the whole CM team has a dozen Quark devices where they are sitting around testing and writing code and stuff for our phones. We have one guy who bought one phone with his own money, then bought a second phone with his own money. And he's doing all this for free, for us.

Over in the Droid Turbo forum when their bootloader became unlocked, a dev over there said he was going to try to get CM13 working for the XT1254. If he ever did that, then any work he did could easily be adapted for all Quarks. This exchange was late November 2015...

I then asked [MENTION=2228410]Skrilax_CZ[/MENTION] about it...

That was two months ago and now more devices do have CM13, but that dev has not posted any work for CM13. So, it must be very hard to get CM13 working for our Quarks. No disrespect to any devs! [MENTION=6076132]computerfreek274[/MENTION] has done TONS of work to help Droid Turbo owners!

But, yeah any help for [MENTION=2228410]Skrilax_CZ[/MENTION] would be appreciated, I'm sure. Otherwise it's just him, and he's doing this for free in his spare time besides having a full time job.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
CM dev was able to give us Lollipop without Lollipop kernel source -- he used Kitkat kernel inside CM12 (Lollipop) until Motorola released Lollipop kernel source for Quark.

Later he gave us CM12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1) while using 5.02 kernel source, until Motorola released 5.1 kernel source.

So, while MM kernel source would be very helpful, it's been done before without.
[Moto Maxx General] razzorchile:
Any news? :(
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Not since October 2, 2015...
[Moto Maxx General] Nitefire77:
There was news today on the update. Dunno on the reliability of the source but they seem to know what's going on

http://www.lawyerherald.com/article...-turbo-android-6-0-marshmallow-ota-update.htm

The update should be ready for deployment in march
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
It just shouldn't take 5 months when the Moto Nexus 6 got Marshmallow in November and the hardware is so similar. It just shouldn't.

1) It's NOT hard for Motorola, as they have full teams devoted to this. They have access to Marshmallow early as a Nexus manufacturer. They could have given the Quark a Marshmallow update the week after Moto Nexus 6, the month after, two months after...

2) the Quark is the most expensive/highest spec phone Motorola sold in 2014, most of 2015. They should treat premium customers better than that.

3) doesn't take carrier support for the "factory" (basically pure edition) Quarks.
[Moto Maxx General] IonAphis:
I have from a reliable source that Motorola is doing a test drive of 6.0 on the Moto Maxx XT1225. He can't talk about it (confidenciality and everything) but at least it looks like something is happening...

You could re-flash stock image and maybe remove TWRP.

It is taking too long, Droid turbo 2 got the update faster.
[Moto Maxx General] koftheworld:
I would have bet that the soak would have leaked by now (not advocating but it does typically happen). Everything I've read shows that they haven't rolled it out yet.
[Moto Maxx General] koftheworld:
As an aside, there are people complaining in the Moto forums about the lack of a soak. David s sent out the initial announcement weeks ago, but apparently they haven't released the soak yet. This is very unusual in that software usually comes out close to an announcement like that, but that wasn't an actual soak invite.
[Moto Maxx General] richii0207:
You're not allowed to share information like that when you're in MFN. It's an easy way to get kicked out, and you'd be surprised how they can find you.

Maybe nobody took the wink in my post from Jan as a hint.
[Moto Maxx General] koftheworld:
Of course not. You are not even supposed to admit you have ever been in a soak lol. I am hoping for a release soon though. It's already March and Lenovo has already established itself and one of the slowest to update their lineup (funny considering the lack of customization).

[Moto Maxx General] Semseddin:
Hi everyone, i chime in here with little hopes to see Moto Maxx get updated eventually but this is real sad. I have a question to Maxx owners. Will you consider buying anything motorola branded again in future ?

A device-specific Lollipop 5.0.2 (LRX22G) version was released for the first-generation Nexus 7 on December 19, 2014. Android 5.1, an updated version of Lollipop, was unveiled in February 2015 as part of the Indonesian launch of Android One, and is preloaded on Android One devices sold in Indonesia and the Philippines.
