Was about to post it aswell! Its 'finaly' here

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.

What i fear about the incoming Lollipop

From all the leaked screenshots we can see, android 5.0 looks exactly like the kitkat LG UI. We are not getting the pure, stock lollipop(like white drawer etc). So, if we are going to loose unlocked bootloader, do we really need it?

Nobody is forcing you to upgrade. If you don't like the theme LG is using then stick with what you're using now.

If I understand you right there is two questions in what you wrote:
1. is LG keeping their signature UI design in the upcoming upgrade Android 5.0?
Answer: yes because this is always how it has been and will continue to be, valid not only for LG. Exception of course Play editions for some makes. Pure Google/AOSP UI look without LG launcher/apps will always be via custom roms.
2. Will I loose my Bumb/unlocked bootloader if I take the official upgrade?
Answer: not sure that will work either, but ya one could loose ability to bump bootloader after flashing official update. As soon as the upgrade is official some stock rooted roms will pop up ready to be flashed. There is even a leaked android 5.0 around now

Thank you for the answers, english is not my first language.
Also, will google now launcher from the store update to stock lollipop theme?

Nobody on this site should take the ota, be patient and wait for a ROM to be available..

Don't worry, that fear is experienced by TouchWiz users long time go.

There's more, MUCH more, to 5.0 than just the UI. To be honest, the visual changes are actually secondary to the system changes as far as I am concerned. I'm far more interested in the power management updates, camera enhancements, etc... Material design is basically window dressing.

Why did you think LG s going to release a AOSP looking L ?

Most of what you see in stock is just the Lollipop Now Launcher, which is limited and to my eyes ugly as sin. All that white is just horrible.
Most of the rest in the G3 is similar to the same as stock. Either way ill be using Nova, so its fine.

They will be changing it a bit
“The new features and improvements in Android 5.0 will bring a whole new user experience to the G3 and make it even better than it already is.”

[DEV][REF]How to add root support to LL boot.img
As long as you dont install the new bootloader, you can keep TWRP.
They figured out that the new boot.img could be bumped and flashed in the old bootloader.

but you can alwys return to an older (4.4) original kdz firmware (which contains the old bootloader) and one is back to save haven..r8? or am i missing something here?

This wasn't the case with the note 2. The update to 4.3 bootloader blocked going back to an earlier stock version of android.

Also, although @autoprime has confirmed the release of Android L for the D855 does not implement anti-rollback, this does not mean that other variants will not implement something to keep us from going back to previous software versions, then you may be stuck with Android L but no root or TWRP permanently

Thanks for the info
but:
There is already a sticky thread in "One General" for updates discussions.

Hi everyone my HTC one m7 was stock ROM sense 6 then I change it to cm11, Does google edition support on my phone or only HTC one m7 google edition? I want to have a taste of lollipop.

Just changing your Rom from sense to CM will not enable you to get the lollipop ota.... NOT even flashing a gpe Rom will do that... U have to actually do the full GPE conversion to be able to do that.

You have full instruction on how to do that?

There's a thread in Dev section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781

I might get gpe updates for this without manually changing it? Because I'm waiting for android Lollipop.

You won't get the update unless you're running stock gpe. I'm sure someone around here will make a rom of it for us tho.

Im currently running 'GPE and waiting for the OTA. If i can get my hands on it, i´ll upload it, but i think
somebody will be faster due the way of getting chosen for the update in the first days.

There will most likely be a rom built from source before the OTA is out. That has been the way this update has gone. The source is uploaded first before the OTA is pushed. HEck the nexus 4 had the source and img files uploaded for almost 2 days before the OTA was pushed out.

Yup! I'm sitting back, quietly, patiently waiting. I know the masters around here will make it happen for us. No need to go to extremes.

haha, yep i already got that, battery consumption seems to be a bit high though. However, Lollipop is awesome, totally worth it.
Can't wait to see Sinless Rom bump to Lollipop.

[Q] Flashing different model firmware?

Can you flash a D801 stock on the D800? If so, what would happen, if you can't, why?
Thanks!

Because I fear the D800 version of Lollipop will take years to come out, as they continually do with updates, this way they can force people to upgrade to new phones.
hell, they've had the AtriX HD KK update for months now and won't release it lol. So it's hard to believe they will update this version of the phone.

In the zip is as radio update, but also something else for the system.
But the patch notes are not saying anything about other Updates.
So I don't know.

This is not a blog, nor OP forums, nor a sales thread, nor reddit.
They a) didn't promise anything, be glad that you WILL recieve OOS 3, b) offer you to use a custom ROM and root without losing your warranty(!!!) on a high-end low price phone.

They promised that the update will be at the beginning of the year
But, you have right, sorry for typing opinion

They promised only that you will get it in Q2/2016, that is April - June, so they have 2 more full months if they want to...
