Hey guys,
4.4.4 seems to be rolling out for Germany now. Would be nice if you could check if you already got it and save the update.zip before updating your system.

Does anybody knows if it will be released for the US Retail???
GPE or normal Version?
GPE doesnt show the provider name in the upper left corner, does it? If yes, it might also be a pic from GPE.
EDIT:// The guy just confirmed he has the normal Motorola version, no GPE.

Now only if Motorola would wake the **** up and release kernel sources. I'm not updating until faux kernel is compatible with 4.4.4.

US ROM did not show the carrier name either and since 4.4.3 all ROMs have the option to turn it off.

I dont have unlocked bootloader, and the only reason why i would ever unlock it is when the moto g doesnt receive updates from motorola anymore.

Hello everyone,
I'm thinking to buy a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition from the Play Store in the US; the thing is I'm going to use it in Europe (in Italy to be precise), so I was wondering whether or not it's fully "compatible" with the standards over here since I know that the US & EU versions are slightly different especially for what concerns LTE and the # of cores.
Will the battery be drained by the absence of the LTE network (like 3G does when the connectivity is low) or not?
Further and most important, does the S4 sold onto the Play Store have the SIM card or what?
Is it slower than then the EU edition (non GE, obviously) as it apparently has less cores?
Is there any other drawback that should prevent me from buying it?
Thank you!

Hardware wise is exactly the same, so no worries here. Just tell me how are you going to buy and ship it to Europe?. As far I know the play store is region locked.

Hi MaKTaiL
Will it be OK for me to flash a USA Google edition rom on my UK I9505, i.e.. what about the difference in basebands (radio part)? would my 4G still work?
Most of the Google edition roms on XDA seem to be experimental or pre release roms at present?
Thanks in advance bud.

Yes, it will work just fine. I'm currently using the 4.3 leak, everything is working perfectly, despite it being a leak.
I'll PM you in a few minutes with the download link for an untouched Google Edition ROM (no mods, no root, simply stock) and all the instructions.

Sorry for the late reply, I was at work. I'll PM you both in a few minutes.
I got it from a thread on Galaxy S4 AT&T forums. The guy made an untouched rom for both AT&T and i9505 versions.
The thread got really famous around the internet and Samsung found out about it and asked XDA to close it.
It was sad but I had the lastest version here with me already, so I uploaded for you guys. :good:
PS.: And no, you won't get updates directly. You will have to wait for the system dump and for someone to make a flashable zip of it.
I'm sure it won't take long for it when the update comes. Hahahahahaha. People on XDA are really fast.

aaaah oke, thanks mate. i think a little excited
Man, converting back from a GPE was a hassle! First my pc couldn't connect to my fastboot device (damn you windows 8.1!), So I had to use an old win7 laptop. Then the RUU wouldn't work. Figured I had to flash an older HBOOT. Didn't work because I have a locked bootloader (s-off though). Then I tried unlocking the bootloader through HTCdev. Didn't work, turn out the GPE edition just uses a different command to unlock. Didn't work either! I had to use some weird tool from XDA and it finally unlocked my bootloader.
Then the ruu zip I downloaded was corrupted! Now I need to download the entire 1.1 gig file of HTC's slow 20kb/s servers again :crying:
Yeah total re convertion to Sense was abit of a pain lol.. downgraded of hbot then run two ruu files to get back on 4.3 and then flash latest firmware and a custom rom. This time i will just wait for some dev to get a rom out instead of all the extra work to get back on stock.

It shouldn't, and I'm sure it probably won't this time, but many soak testers did brick on stock JB builds through the normal OTA last December (and, strangely, Verizon distributed to non-testers right away, so it affected quite a few people.)

You need to backup your apps and contacts, then flash back to factory image. Take the OTA, flash TWRP recovery, you will able to have root again.

We will find out soon, but David Schuster of Motorola said the icons were white about a month ago on Google+. He didn't say anything about the dialer. When somebody asked if it would be 4.4.2 or 4.4.3he said don't worry,we've got you covered. Implying, I guess, that it is 4.4.3 or that any bugs fixed in 4.4.3 for the nexus are already fixed in the update.

If you're referring to the dialer with search funtionality, I believe that is still exclusive to the Nexus 5 (natively, of course there's sideload options).

Waiting for 4.4.4
I don't think we will receive the update 4/5 weeks before as other sites stated that .But it is clear that no 4.4.3 ,direct 4.4.4.
Hopefully this explains the delayed roll-out of 4.4.3. The question is now; will 4.4.4 be subject to another staged roll-out? Considering the changes are apparently minimal (only security fixes) - 4.4.4 could roll-out in more than one country at once.
Wow. That article is so poorly written, I don't see how anyone could base anything off what it says.
now iam on xt1033 dualsim 8 gb and still on 4.4.2 and no get update to 4.4.3
and i hope get update 4.4.4 later
Directly 4.4 not before of 1 month for europe i think. Probably more. Hoping to be wrong for me lol
Hope it gets europe soon. *fingers crossed*

Of course the post on that forum totally misrepresents what the Motorola employee said. In fact, the Motorola rep didn't even mention the Moto G specifically. And he certainly didn't say the rollout stopped.

I read all that carefully, not only the moto g isn't specified, but also it clearly says they are referring to the "droid" line of devices, not the moto line...
But I seriously doubt we won't get any Android L* sometime in the future, this is a gpe device, when Google took it in, we got a 2+ year (or until Qualcomm goes bankrupt) software warranty.

No, 4.4.4 fix the CVE-2014-0224 bug (OpenSSL)
Hi all. I am getting my new Moto G today (XT1068) and want to have lolipop but also need root. I was wondering how I would do this? Also if I do manage to get root while on 5.0.1 can I use OTA to 5.0.2 or would I need to un-root first? I am new to rooting so I'd like the easiest way possible, thanks for your time!
Hello,
I'd like to say hello to everyone and BIG thanks for the community as a whole. This place is pure awesomeness.
I've got similiar question to OP. Got the retaildsdsall xt1068, haven't unlocked or rooted before and I'm currently on 5.0.2, 22.21.28.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03 reteu
I've been on retaildsdsall and upgraded using to newly captured OTA zip from SOAK for the xt1068, by copying it to the root of sd and upgrading using normal ota updater.
Everything went fine!
My question is, what is the most reliable way to root my device?
Is there any possibility to root without having to unlock? Will Chainfire's autoroot[dot]chainfire[dot]eu work for me? I read that there is a version which is ok for Lollipop, updated by Chainfire, but I can't seem to find it or confirm that it'll work.
Please shed some light on to that. Any experiences?
Hi @Reizoko & @Silent_Infiltrator
1. You have to unlock Bootloader to Root.
2. Install TWRP Recovery
3. Download and Flash latest BETA of SuperSU v2.44
Thats all
Note: You can't use OTA to update while rooted. You have to do a full unroot.

Right, seems easy enough. I guess I'll wait with stock unrooted until a bug-free version of 5.0 is out, will be good to make sure phone is all right aswell...

Well, the Brazil Soak Test version of Lollipop is really smooth and Bug Free, the Indian version.. Not so much! If you want to try Lollipop, I would recommend the Brazil Soak Test.
Hey
Just wanted to give quick heads-up on to the matter of rooting 5.0.2. Thanks for the tips, I did it as follows:
1. Got my European Moto G xt1068 (dual-sim version) updated to 5.0.2 using captured OTA zip here.
2. Unlocked my bootloader by following official Motorola guide.
3. Downloaded newest TWRP 2.8.4.0 from Original Development.
4. Used Fastboot to only boot TWRP by executing: fastboot boot twrp.img
5. Flashed newest SuperSU 2.44.
6. Enjoying root.
Thanks!

Why the hell are you telling him to install a xt1069 over xt1068? Tell me onde thing, but are you on drugs or dont have a clue about you are talking about? Never, but never install a version that is not designed for your phone version. Before you post such thing, please do some research or dont say anything.

You do your research. Did you even go through the Moto G 2014 forums??? Read through and then post.

Krishna is not wrong as the XT1068 and 69 are pretty much the same. Only difference is the modems and radios I believe.

So they are different... Custom ROMs can work on both, but not original ROMs.

I speak out of experience. I installed the XT1069 Lolipop 5.0,5.0.1 and no probs at all. I followed the methods posted in this forum.
I was not giving a vague advice.

The most notable difference is the digital tv support for the XT1069
