Moto E got update to 23.26.8.en.03 - Moto E General

Hello friends today my Moto E got 10 MB update of version 23.26.8.en.03. Unfortunately they have not shown any change list. But I suspect, it could be Stage fright bug fix. You can see screen shots below.

How to install it on rooted + TWRP device
Even I got the update. As mine is rooted, after installing the update my phone was stuck in recovery boot loop. Clearing the Dalvik + cache in TWRP saved me.
How to install this update manually on a rooted device??

Captured the OTA
I've captured the OTA from the root/cache folder..
XDA isn't allowing me to post the link.
However, It's name is 23.26.2 instead of 23.26.8(don't know why? )
Cannot anyone guide me how to install the update.
Should i unroot and then flash it via TWRP?

try replacing the dots with (dot) or spaces like www(dot)google(dot)com or instead PM me. I ll try to post the link here. You need a minimum of 10 posts I think to posts links on xda.

Do NOT update to Lollipop on Moto E if you haven't yet. Moto E was super smooth and lag free on Kitkat. This phone is not meant to run Lollipop.

Here's the new OTA Link by @shubhamsrivastava3012: He sent the link via PM since he could not post links.

Seriously but material and LP animations have taken over my mind and I so much hate KK holo and its ****ty animations that its hard to move back. Otherwise there is not a single other reason I would like to stay on LP for.

I too received this update. A problem that I have with my Moto E is the very limited internal storage - which became even less after migrating to lollipop. With app updates coming frequently, the space gets less after each update. Is there anyway I can increase it? Can't I use a 32GB memory card and make it a part of internal storage or complement it either? What are the steps, if any? I'm a noob as far as rooting and all such stuff are concerned. I'm otherwise happy with the phone, but this low internal storage...
Thanks.

How to update?
Can anyone tell me how can I install the updates manually.

Lollipop is FAR smoother than kitkat, come on, and that is because of ART, the same that makes the apps takes more storage.

For those who updated to kitkat by side loading ; How it's the update behaving ? Few folks have reported couple of issues with kit Kat. That was one of the reasons I waited for the official update
The current jelly bean stock is quite stable ; though the battery drain with dual Sim and 3g is slightly on the higher side

So far no issues. I'm not using 3g.
Using Only WiFi which works flawless... I don't miss anything from JB coz I used only for half day before kk update

No issues so far. Hope you guys got a similar update file from Motorola.

Are you sure about this confirmation though? Confirming because I can confirm that the XDA confirmations are to be taken seriously confirmed.
Is it confirmed that following the confirmation that this update fixes SD card issues, that it's fixed…?
Would just like confirmation on that before I buy a 4G
I've updated today to 4.4.4 and I can confirm that the SD card bug is fixed. My class 10 card works now, before the update it didn't work. I bought my Moto G at Amazon France

Rooting when updated to 5.0.1

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.

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

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.

Moto E soak tests have begun.

I just got a message from MFN saying that I can get into the soak tests. Attached a pic as proof. If you need the OTA zip captured, sign up for the Motorola Feedback Network at their forums. I don't have access to my phone right now. That's to it.
For the benifit of the community, I request anyone who's got their XT1022 at the moment to capture the OTA zip. Ask questions here, don't worry of Motorola. They can't do much.
Noobs: A soak test is an initial update given to users to test whether it works. It won't harm your phone. (Yes, I know what you're thinking. You'll get the lollipop update. Yay!)
After you sign up on the forums, sign up for MFN. Instructions are given there. Then use this link. You'll get an updated version of the Update services. Download it, wait for it to download the update, then post it here. No excuses. If the link expires, (it will) just swap the G in w7oUG%3d with some other alphabet, except B.

Hi
Per the instructions you are supposed to keep MFN communications confidential. Furthermore, it is not an Android update/upgrade Feedback Opportunity. Start time for Motorola Feedback Network opportunities are always fluid. Rarely after we send out invites do selected users get an email that an opportunity is starting. The sharing of mis-information really hurts the masses.

Ota in europe?
I´m from Spain. All of you are from India, but is there any person who has recieved the ota from an EU country?
I'm also from Europe, Romania to be more precise and I did not receive any OTA notification. I spoke with an online assistant, asking when will we see an update for Europe versions. The answer was that there is no ETA for Europe but to check the update info page located here, which we probably already do on a regular basis with no success what so ever.
Is it same as the one recieved in soak test?
Hi,
I've updated my phone via a zip of soak test to android 5.0.2 and it says its up to date when I manually check for an update.
Also when I compared the uploaded screen shots to my phone, I didn't notice any change in the Kernel version or the System version. So in there anything extra they have patched in this version?
Please do tell if any one finds out.
Unlock Modes Unavailable :/
I Updated my Moto G 2nd Gen to Android 5.0.2 today . ( Via the official OTA update , i did not install during the soak test ) ... I am unable to find Face Unlock and Smart Unlock under the Security Options ... Can Anyone help me please ??

Here in the Netherlands still no sign of Lollipop :crying:. It takes too long and the RAM management bugs are killing me .
I bought a Motorola phone as they would provide good ROMs and fast updates. I've never been so wrong.
Here I also have a Samsung Galaxy S Plus with 400MB RAM running Lollipop CM12 5.0.2. It has no RAM issues.
Running Chrome? No problem m8. Running multiple apps opened in background like music, Play Store, Google Calendar, launcher. Not even a single app gets killed.
My S Plus from 2011 is more usable than my damned Moto G running KitKat (something dies inside me).
