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:

2) All root removed completely from your system
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
HOPE THIS HELPS

I received the email as well. Should I download the update and copy it to my computer...then return my dev edition to factory sbf. Then install? I read in the survey instructions that if you factory reset before applying, it might not let you download again.

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.

The Soak test has been approved http://www.droid-life.com/2014/02/2...zon-moto-x-as-164-55-2-here-is-the-changelog/

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
My edited build.prop is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50170290
Edit: I used Odex version cos ART is a must IMO.

Funny you mention that:
"We are moving directly to 4.4. I dont like to discuss timing. It just puts a lot of stress on the team, and there is always a chance we find something which delays us a bit.
Rest assured, we are on it. You have seen the speed with which we are moving as a Google company, that shall continue."

I'm just looking forward to all the awesome things we have in store; just got my MotoX yesterday and got it activated today; less than 12 hours with an activated and working phone, and I love everything it does already. Getting 4.4 is just icing on the cake for me.
Don't get me wrong.. I'm equally impatient lol... But then again, the Moto X runs amazingly on 4.2.2 already

The bootloader does not have to be relocked! just make sure that you flash back to stock format including your recovery. And you'll be able to take any and all updates. After you update to Kit Kat you should be able to flash superuser zip in CWM or TWRP. To gain Root.

OK that makes sense, I can always restore back to stock then.
I'm keeping my hopes high and my expectations low. I still remember the Atrix after all. New Motorola or not, even if they plan to ship out 4.4 quickly, there is still the carrier issue. I'll believe it when the soak invites go out.

I kept telling all you guys that Motorola was skipping 4.3 and going directly for kit Kat now its come to fruition. You're welcome
Hi,
I have my moto x with the last OTA, i kept root with a tuto that's here.
I want to flash the stock firmware with rsd, my question is if it will take it as downgrade.
I want to wait for KitKat un-rooted.
Thanks

Tmobile KitKat Rollout starts today 11-21

Wow. These updates are coming fast.

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.

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?

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.

I saw Motorola's blog post, but my device doesn't have anything available yet. As a matter of fact, I still don't even have the updated Google Calendar 5.0. I'd rather see the Play Store offer it than install the APK manually. Not sure when that will happen.
Keep checking. I have 2 on hand. One received it immediately, the other kept saying your device is up to date. Checked a short while later and it was there
Any word on if this official OTA will be pushed to those of us running the leaked .5 Lollipop build? Or will we still need to downgrade to stock 4.4.4 to receive the update? Thanks!

This is what I want to know too. I know it just started rolling out, but does anyone know yet?
You have no choice but to downgrade back to 4.4.4 using the images Moto released yesterday. Instructions are available throughout the threads here. There is not going to be a .5 lollipop to the final version. Nothing will come OTA to your device. I took the time last night to flash back.

Is that actually confirmed by Motorola? Seems odd they would offer a soak test and then tell all the testers to go back to 4.4.4 (which is far more challenging) to get the official update.

5.0.1 has begun to roll out to the Moto G 2014

Well it looks like 5.0.1 has started to roll out to the Moto G 1st and 2nd generation. I hope it fixes the freezing problem I have on my xt1064 running 5.0
Post here if you receive and/or install 5.0.1, and let us know how it works out for you. Such as improvements, bugs, problems with installation, etc. Please include what model you have.

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.

What does that matter, when it's all Lollipop, after all? Would you prefer they release 5.0 and not a more updated, polished release version instead? They'll release on time, believe me.

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.

To which question?
Are European buyers still being ignored? XT1068: no MFN, no update of any kind here. If I am interpreting Motorola forum correctly, they haven't released anything in the EU, not even a soak test.

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.

Correct, 5.0.2 has been released for Nexus 7 today.
And PLEASE, PLEASE before updating go here and try to capture the ota.

I think Motorola secretly hate us because we can unlock our devices and still make a warranty claim if the hardware fails.

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
