Wow. These updates are coming fast.

congrats to tmo users. Still waiting for the at&t roll out.
Yep. Getting it on the GSM Dev Edition right now.
Getting mine too!

Not available to me, as I'm on the 4.4 leak.
I'd flash back to stock right now, but the USB cable I have with me has been flaking out all day.
I'm excited to see if the official release fixes some of the issues I've been having with video playback. I'm getting seg-faults from several players while trying to decode MKVs. (Various files, some h.264 and some webm.)
---
I'm super impressed with how Motorola has been handling the 4.4 rollout.
Just got the Update Available pop-up on T-mo, non-Dev edition.
OH EM GEE!
I JUST got my Moto X yesterday and spent all morning unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP and doing a full backup. I figured 4.4 was at least a few weeks out (like an idiot).
I just caused myself a lot of work. **sigh** time to start researching how to get back to stock to upgrade.

I guess this doesn't help, but it has the software version:

Actually that does help. It's a newer version than the leak. Which means all the time I spent setting up the leak is a waste since now I need to return to stock to get the OTA!

Exactly! Well, you probably have more work than me though as I'm on custom-recovery 4.2.2.
So, how can I save this update for us? Could we then flash?

I'm also curious about this as I am unlocke, rooted, and with a custom recovery but not on the leak.. would i just have to get the stock recovery?

That's what I am thinking. I backed up my stock recovery from another version of the Moto X I had (Mexico Nextel version) and I wonder if I could flash that right now, then unroot, then take the OTA.
Worth a try? Worst case is that I have to use RSDLite and start over.

I just installed it. It does feel faster than before. I dont have any lag on the unlock like some people were complaining about. New camera focus is nice

The lag doesn't seem to always occur. I only get it now and then, no idea when or if it will happen. It might take a day or two before you see it.
Well that came out of nowhere. Updating now.
Argh. No luck flashing the stock recovery, unrooting and then trying to take the OTA update. It booted into stock recovery, installed the update halfway, gave an "error" and then rebooted and said the update failed. Darn, I guess something must have changed in the system files to cause an error with the update
Guess I have to wipe it clean with RSDLite and do this the hard way.

Got an invite too. I will not be partaking of this test though. I will hold back and see how things go because I do not want to loose write ability.
Maybe when the soak test begins someone can get a dump. I'm not signed up so I didn't get a invite.

Invites usually go out a few days to a week before the SOAK is started then about 2-3 days after the SOAK the OTA starts rolling out to everyone. A few not signed up for the SOAK will also get updated at the same time.

It is the invite to the Soak Test for 4.4.2 rollout.
Should I be SBF'ing back to 4.4 stock if I want to do this, or will I be able to go with SuperSU Survival Mode activated and update to 4.4.2?

I think it will have the same problems downloading any other OTA while rooted will have.
From the [REF]The Complete Moto X Guides/Information Thread:

3) Xposed framework completely removed from your system, uninstalling will not work,you need to flash the xposed Disabler zip
4) Any mods to any system file must be reverted to stock
5) Running the stock odex ROM
6) Any system apps frozen must be unfrozen
If you have at any point of time flashed any 4.4.2 firmware along with the boot loader 30.B3 or 30.B4
DO NOT FLASH THE OTA, YOU WILL HAVE A HARD BRICKED MOTO

that will work but depending on what rom you are running you might not get the OTA download notification. If you are running eclipse you may but probably any other rom that is not stock based you won't receive the update. If you do receive it. download it. take it out of cache and move it to your computer. post it. and let nitro know you posted it so he has a source to build a new eclipse. Ive been waiting to put a newed version of eclipse rom on my phone until 4.4.2 came out.
also, every single OTA soak test that has come out for Vzw for the moto x has been released to the general public at the same time as anyone in the soak test. Vzw soak test for the x just seems to be a gimick at this point. Maybe they do it just so people will use moto forums or report problems to their forums.
Maybe this FW release will be different but every single one in the past was released to everyone whether in the soak test invite email or not. It just gets rolled out to user over a few days to not clog up their servers.

I'm on stock 4.4, but it's been modded a bit with xposed and a bunch of changed system apps. I have a nandroid of the original 4.4 with no changes that I will flash and then flash stock recovery.

you don't need to flash stock recovery. you will still receive the OTA prompt. you just won't want to install it is all. if you want to install it then you should flash back to stock FW. if you are just going to pull it then wait for a rom to come out from it then there is no need to flash back to stock at this time.
Does anyone have experience with using other carrier builds? I currently have the TMO 4.4.2 build on my Vzw Moto X. System Update check doesn't work; always says try again later. Guessing I'd need to go back to 4.4 to even get the OTA right? I was planning to save the update from /cache but not accept the update.

Why not just stay on TMO. Also how do you install the tmobile software on the Verizon phone and how do you find it runs?

It works well. I made some modifications to the build.prop prior to flashing and haven't had a single issue. I will probably end up staying on TMO unless there's something totally different in the VZW build. One thing is that bluetooth devices recognize the phone as XT1052 instead of XT1060.
I flashed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639724

yep. I opted in before but i've never been picked.
I just got off the phone with a guy from Motorola Brazil.
He clarified a lot of things. Some are good news, others not really.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any actions you take after reading this. If you try anything and it doesn't work, it's you to you to find a way out. You can always post it here and the community will try to help you. It's your phone. Your actions.
Release Date
He didn't give me a date, rather, he told me the roadmap to it. Motorola is scaling upwards.
G > X > G2 > X+1 > Maxx/Turbo
Reminder: Verizon says when Turbo gets it after Motorola ships it to Verizon.
They are testing the waters on smaller and cheaper devices. Apparently the "under-the-hood" changes are pretty complicated and giving them some headaches. I'd say it makes sense to what @Chainfire has been saying for quite a while now. Many security changes that are affecting how you can interact with the kernel and the init.d process, for example.
Bootloader Unlockability
Moto Maxx is unlockable. All you need is to go to their website and follow instructions. In KITKAT
Apparently, Motorola still hasn't confirmed if they'll allow their customers to unlock the bootloader once Lollipop hits.
Like I said, there's no confirmation. Motorola can always just be a good pal and keep on allowing it, it's all just speculations.
Recovery Firmware
It's the same firmware as the Moto X AND the Moto X 2014. It's up to you to try it out. I might try it next weekend if I got the time.
There are no devs working on Maxx/Turbo AFAIK. However, we can apparently use the firmwares from Moto X or the Moto X 2014.
This topic is the sole reason I added the disclaimer up there. Read it!
The guy told me this, but understand that even though its not a confidential thing, it certainly is extra official. For those who thought a Moto X 2014 TWRP or CWM would brick their devices. Well, apparently, it won't. I'll remove the apparently when I have confirmation on this. Anyone feeling lucky, post your results here or just PM me.
Root
Root is a complicated matter.
In Kitkat.
With the previous information, we might be able to root it following Moto X 2014's instructions. More news in the future.
In Lollipop.
For those who don't know, we should be able to use root, once we patch up the kernel to boot the device allowing root. @Chainfire got it to work without the patch on the Nexus line in SuperSU 2.27, but it's really simple for Google to patch it. Don't expect it to last. Considering the amount of work it takes, we might end up with the shorter stick here. Unless some cool dev decides make it work for us as well, or if the patch for the Nexus 6 somehow work with the Maxx.
Someone will have to try it.
That's it for now. I'll try to update this as new info comes out.
Please, leave a THANKS if you enjoyed it.
Surely these are quite good news. But officially, based on moto website, maxx is not unlockable by now. But these stuff being true is worth of not getting kitkat OTA, to keep the supposed unlockable state, using custom roms, if they someday become available.

So according to your source, we should be getting Lollipop after all the G's and X's were updated?, if this is the case, I think we should be getting Lollipop really soon, because most of the devices already have Android 5.

Nexus 6 have a same hardware, anyone think if works in maxx?
The recovery for the 6 is for LP and is markedly different than a KK recovery. Also be aware that Troy Dees (TWRP) is on record as saying the recoveries for LP are much more involved than KK and to expect a relatively slow roll out for them to a broader range of devices. He did not say it but the impression I have from reading his comments on this are that marginal devices in terms of number of owners may be waiting a long time or never see a TWRP recovery for LP.

if nexus 6 already has twrp recovery check if it works, thats the same hardware. just unlock moto maxx bootloader first.

I think we can all safely assume that now, 5 weeks after starting, the "soak test" is now long over and done with. After all, Motorola stated that Lollipop would be out on the Moto G *before* the end of 2014... and guess what? Only 12 days of that left. Unless they're into cutting it fine, this IS the final release, folks.

To be frank, Motorola likely shifted from 5.0 to 5.0.1 midway the soak test. And 5.0.2 is pretty near as well, who knows if they won't shift development for it before this rollout ends.

It would also be nice if people would also make note of the baseband version associated with each release. There already been enough tears from fools flashing baseband firmware willy-nilly.
Okay, I had upgraded to 22.21.16 via TWRP using KennyWuLee's packaged tool. This morning I received a notice that I had an update available for 22.21.25 which I assume is 5.0.1. So like a dummy I went ahead and accepted. Now all it does is boot into TWRP. When I restart to system from TWRP it boots up just fine then after about 15 seconds reboots to TWRP.
I assume it is looking for the stock recovery which will then allow me to install the update? So will I be safe to go ahead and reflash the stock recovery, reboot and go from there? Or should I go all the way back to stock everything?
I have an XT1063.

You could be right.
I got this phone happy in the knowledge I'll always be running (nearly) the latest clean version of Android, instead I have a phone with a memory management issue running at least a month behind other continents.
Tongue in cheek aside, I do have some suspicions.
It stands to reason that the people most likely to join the MFN are those who like to tinker and who are eager to receive updates. These people are also the most like to unlock the bootloader. If something goes awry during an OTA roll-out test and the user cannot resolve the issue, support from Motorola can be requested, potentially resulting in a warranty claim, unless the device has been unlocked and was purchased outside of the EU... It therefore seems logical that Motorola would not do soak tests in the EU, where possible: It reduces the blowback in the unlikely event that there is a serious bug in the update.

That sounds like the most plausible reason they may have, if they have one. To be honest, I've got better things to think about than when a frivolous software update arrives for a non-cricital device, but your thoughts certainly are rational ones
Well I was part of the xt1069 Brazilian soak test and I have to say it's a bad joke. A lot of users didn't get the update, there was almost no support or even feedback from Motorola in the forum. And to finish it off, they had an issue with their forum software that got all comments deleted. I don't think EU users are missing much

Better would be flash stock firmware or revert the changes and update the phone as written in the post by androidpolice

I flashed lolipop in my xt1068, then i reverted back to stock. In this process my unlocked bootloader warning is gone but bootloader is still unlocked. I don't want to flash the stock back right away If i get ota update its good butt if i won't there is xda always for me right?
Thanks for your help though
If you're on stock rom+recovery and you're not rooted, you can have your bootloader unlocked, you will still get the official update.

yeah thanks
Thanks a lot
I am carrying a XT1063, right out of the box, unmodified, as virgin as it could be and still NO Lolipop update 'til now and I keep patiently waiting.
The executive team should have cared for us more than worrying about rooted ones.
As usual chat support doesn't know diddly, because I received all the lollipop OTAs while being rooted.
You just can't install them while rooted though. So revert to your pre-root backup (YOU BACKED UP YOUR /SYSTEM BEFORE ROOTING, RIGHT??!??) and then install the OTA.

HA HA HA! Great LAME joke by historical JOKERS! I have longtime rage on this company due to past bad experiences with this company. They did good by allowing easy and official unlock procedure.
But here you missed the GOLDEN CHANCE TO HUMILIATE them! I would have typed this, >>>> "LIKE WE DO CARE? HA HA HA! Look MotoJokers, if update comes to one UnRooted/Locked phone, it will be on all Rooted/UnLocked Phones within few hours! Go ahead and prove yourself loser. BTW I am on Brazil Lollipop 5.0.1"
LITERALLY! I would have literally said that. You really missed This happened in past and still no one worried.

Thats not always true. The update installer can easily trace the status of UNLOCKED bootloader and may refuse to install. Thats mostly possible. So dont just under-estimate. Update procedures can also recognize the rooted phone status and reject to install.
Does not matter if one unlocked/rooted phone gets next update, most people here on xda will have within few hours.
Lol seems like I missed for sure. Anyways I was only trying to gather info so....

In this case it's true, but if you don't beleive me, you can go to motorola owner's forum and ask them.
If people got the OTA's, then some of them will upload it so rooted and/or impatient users can flash them manually right?

I feel the exact same way! I've got a straight from Motorola retail XT1064 no changes and nothing....
I can't believe anyone would call that chat support an "executive"
What would you say then??
