That is amazing news! Can't wait.

And its so nice of Motorola to put all its card on the table right exactly after the release of L rather than making us wait for even longer for any official news about the updates.

Helll yeahhh man!!! Cant wait for it to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On november!!!

How big is the difference going to be? How soon (or sooner) will the GPE moto g get the android l update compared to the stock android of the moto g?
Is the difference below 5 days, or does it usually take more then 5 days?
Based on the previous update times ofcourse.

awesome...
here is motorola plan for update on moto G, E & X

It stands for Google Play Edition of a phone, running pure Android.. You can buy one on Play Store on the US. And there is an Google Play Edition of Moto G and it will have Lollipop as well.. so that is GPE :good:

So happy that I made the switch from Samsung to Motorola...Samsung will release a statement about Android L updates as soon as 2023, and only updating the latest Galaxy probably. lol

Now what are you rooted people gonna do? Should i unroot or what?! I'm kinda puzzled...

Nandroid for now until L is released. It won't take too long anyways they always finish it up quickly at XDA.

So guys it finally ehre, Im proud to have such a great device like this... And, taking into account that Moto G GPE will get this update faster, what do you suggest? Switch to GPE firmware? or not and stay waitimg for nonGPE Gs to be updated?

The best idea is to wait. Stock is so clean that it wont take too much time to arrive anyway.

[DOWNLOAD] Updates for MotorolaOTA and other Moto Apps (Jan 19)

Just got a little surprise when I woke up today. Checked my notifications and Pushbullet had advised about some new apps posted in APKMirror. The most important of all is an update for MotorolaOTA, which probably means they're going to do a major rollout of Lollipop soon. Hopefully.
Here are the the links for downloading the apps. The website is safe, by the way. I'm installing everything right now, it's all working as it should.
Motorola Gallery 304100
Motorola Camera 5.0.7.1
Motorola Help 1.4.32
Motorola Update Services 7.0.1
Motorola Contextual Services 5.18.063
Motorola Migrate 1.6.0.30
Moto 2.2.8 (NOT INSTALLING)

I'm using a XT1063 on Brazil. No updates so far as of 11am local time. I can't even wait anymore.

I'm using a XT1068, Brazil também.
I installed the Camera, Contextual Services and the Motorola Update Services, no update yet. =/
Hopefully we'll get it still this week.
Crossing fingers here

What is the purpose of Contextual Services?

I believe its something about OTAs, because they updated the same service before rolling the first soak test for 5.0
Just so you know, if you don´t mind having your bootloader unlocked, you can have the oficial OTA right now.

Moto app is not installing because it's only for Moto X.
Hopefully these updates mean that there'll be a major rollout in the next few days.

I see they've updated camera apk.
Maybe camera api v2?

Is it the same version as the twrp backups? I'm on 5.0.2 restored from a twrp backup...

No. The link i posted is for the oficial OTA, requires stock firmware and stock recovery.
Its not a twrp backup.
Been using it for almost 2 days now and só far so good.
Battery is lasting a lot longer than it was in the 5.0 twrp backup i was using before.

Does anyone received the updates through Play Store?

I received update to Motorola migrate in Google play store. I'm from Poland
Send by Moto G2 xt1068

I also received, but only for Motorola Migrate. I am from Germany. The other apps haven't received an update yet.

I don't think so,, they have updated it for compatibility isusses and little bit graphics change ,its all due for global moto Lolipop release .,, as far as Moto G camera 2 api ,, it doesn't and willnot support many features of camera 2 API,, there other application like L Camera and Manual camera don't support Moto G even with 5.0.2

Soak Test Invites going on for Lollipop (5.1 - NEW)

5.1 soak test going on in brazil
http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_be..._lollipop_for_moto_x_first_gen-news-11982.php

Yea, I can confirm this...

Confirmed. I got it too

Damn, where's mine? Someone please post this img ASAP.

How long until the images start rolling out usually?

I've already filled the SurveyMonkey's survey, and I'm waiting for further steps.. How long did it take them to send you the email with the installation details?

Seems it takes a couple of days for them to collect data and devices from the survey, and then they send it.

I'm wondering how long it will take VZW to roll out the official update when it hits. They were pretty good about 5.0 on the 2nd gen though, they were one of the first to get it if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, my model is the XT1053 of T-Mobile, although I live in Mexico. but I am subscribed to the program of Motorola as tester. And continuously participated in its official support forum.

I live in Mexico too, do you know if I'll need to unlock the BL in order to flash a stock ROM whenever it becomes available?

Note: if you flash this and you don't have the Brazil variant of this phone, you're gonna have a bad time.
You will have a bricked phone.

And why can´t you post that in the Firmware thread ?
This has nothing really to do with development ?
I guess you are not an Motorola official right, or in any case related to Motorola, to bring us fixes or tell them what´s not working and so on ?
If every country get its OTA and you make for every OTA an own thread... how pointless is that ?
No offense but this section is for custom ROM development mainly and not just for simple firmware updates without active support, IMO ^=^

It's better than talking about this in CM12 thread like they were. I find that extremely disrespectful. You get somebody willing to put that much work into our device and then people like this were posting in his thread with instructions on stock 5.1, which will be crap regardless. You can upgrade a turd all you want, it will still be a stock turd.

You won't have a bricked device (The firmwares, between the XT1039, XT1040 etc. seem to be interchangable), the modem of the device won't work however. Meaning that whatever variant of the peregrine (aside from the XT1040) you flash this on, you'll only have WiFi functional

Ok thank you

Is it possible to install it on XT1033 (Brazilian 3G version)?
5.0.2 is pretty bad on mine.

Not rushing, just asking!

I appreciate all the hard work developers put into making ROMs. I am not trying to be rude, rushy, or impatient by asking this. It is just a crucial piece of information for this shopper (me):
Will there be any ROMs out for the Verizon Turbo 2? If so, will any come out in the next 3 months?
I'm not saying developers need to do more or work faster! I'm just wondering if anything is in the works at all... I'd love to get this phone, but I won't settle for stock. If there's no ROMs in the phone's near future, I'll take a pass. If there are ROMs in development, I'll save my upgrade and use it on the Turbo 2 the day the first one becomes available!
THANKS and NO OFFENSE )))

well, considering there hasn't been anything on unlocking the bootloader, I would think probably not. There may be root within 3 months, but I doubt that Verizon would help us unlock and someone could put together a ROM all within 3 months. Not saying it is impossible, but I wouldn't expect it

Force has better chance to get custom rom. Of course, at least one developer has to get it.

As a Quark owner (Moto Maxx, Droid Turbo, Moto Turbo), we were lucky a CM dev team member bought a Moto Maxx. We got CM, and because of the kernel he developed for the ROM, then several other ROMs became available using that kernel.
All the Quarks except the Droid Turbo have unlock-able bootloader via Motorola website. Verizon makes Motorola keep the bootloader locked on their phones, even though the U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 is the EXACT same phone (even same FCC ID) as the XT1254 Droid Turbo, and the U.S Moto Maxx has a bootloader that will be unlocked via Motorola website! A Verizon SIM card in a U.S. Moto Maxx works on Verizon just like a non-Verizon Moto Nexus 6.
Only the Verizon Droid Turbo XT1254 was not able to participate in custom ROMs, custom kernel, TWRP until a year after release finally an exploit was found to unlock the bootloader. Now ALL the Quarks have CM, Resurrection Remix, Xperia, Mokee, etc.
So, I see the same happening here with Kinzie.
Moto X Force bootloader can easily be unlocked, phone rooted. It will get a dev or two, hopefully to work on ROMs. (I see an unofficial CM port right now.)
However, the Droid Turbo 2 will be out of luck unless exploit is found.
