New OTA is fully rootable via revolutionary

Just a heads up that there is no problem receiving the OTA I accepted it today because I needed a replacement anyway it works flawlessly. I turned s on and ruu'd prior to installing.

So if you use revolutionary to root 4.53, wouldn't your new bootloader be 6.16?

So, I should be able to download the OTA, don't install it and copy the image file to my PC in case I have to unroot?

Get SuperSU Pro from the Play Store, tick OTA Survival in the settings and update away. Did the same today and I kept root.

You still have to confirm you want to update, so don't worry about it downloading the OTA.
And yes, you must buy it. I'm not going to talk about illegal stuff here.
And I'm sure it works, because I just said I did the same today. From 10a to 10f with a D802 international, I kept the root.
Even if you did lose root, who cares? Just run IOroot again and you have it back.

You can use OTA rootkeeper

*edit (typo correction + more info)
By the way I just got the OTA and restored the root with the same app

I had this update too and now my phone is stuck in TWRP. :crying:
If anyone knows a solution, please help!!!
I Don't want to reinstall everything with sideload or other because then I probably loose all the data on it

NEVER take an OTA if you do not have stock recovery!!
I'm afraid this is a hard lesson for you. Maybe flashing a .kdz will fix your phone.

I don't see any difference at all, it was already blazing fast.
So far I can see it added "Do you know?" and it moved the settings cogwheel in the notification area a little more to the left instead of it being centered. Haven't noticed anything else.

Just make sure you have stock recovery, root doesn't matter.

Is it possible to install the stock recovery over trpw

Well, in my device it fails and it says that it wont update because it's rooted! :|
I don't fell like erasing everything with the stock rom, just to do a minor update... When LG releases kitkat, I'll do it.
Or, is there any quick unrooting method that doesn't involve to erase the whole device?

You can try installing SuperSU from the Play Store, let it remove other root apps if it asks you to. Then in the settings you can tick full unroot. Maybe that works?
Otherwise don't bother updating and do it when KitKat is released like you said, I don't think this update is worth flashing a kdz.

Android 5.0 Lollipop!

WTF??? Please tell me this isn't a hoax...
Edit: why would the nav bar be Lollipop style if it's upgrading from Kit Kat?

Good point... It would be hilarious if Motorola upgraded the X to Lollipop before any Nexus devices got it.

Estimated time between soak test and official ota?

Guess I must have answered something wrong in the surveys

I wouldn't be surprised if we got it before the nexus devices...

Post disappeared from the Moto site.. Looks like a mistake?

I dont think so, it maybe the soak test, but the moto g notes are still there

Sounds great. Thanks for keeping us posted. Ah i haven't posted here in awhile but i thought now would be a good time to sign back in

it looks like I might be rooting my motox for this if you guys get a zip posted on here....makes me wonder what I didn't do to not get to be the few who did get it.

If we get the OTA zip you will need to be stock, so don't root just yet.

Stock? There's nothing but stock atm? Also we can just unroot right? And we could still flash it all while a custom recovery is installed right? And just flash some files through fastboot.

I'm not sure because I haven't taken the 2nd update yet. If you are on PB5 you are can try downgrading to PB4 with the files here. It will either downgrade or not. I doubt it will hurt anything if it fails.

Thanks so much! I will give this a shot once I figure out the best way to back up my sms/mms. Do you know what firmware the phone shipped with?

No problem at all. I'm not sure what the phone was shipped with but PB4 was the 2nd update, my guess would be PB3. I use the Verizon messaging app because it's easy to make a backup.

Thanks again. The downgrade to PB4 worked. I'll post in the stock firmware thread for others who may want to do the same.

Tmo System Update

Anyone else getting a system update today? I've already got owacerts set as .bak and sys updates disabled, but for some reason I'm still getting the nag? Any thoughts on preventing this? Nothing to freeze in Titanium for FOTA, or System Update since it's a diff variant.

hmm i think it might be version 10p as i update a while ago
