This is a guide that is strictly for those who are as impatient as I am to get Lollipop on their Moto G (2014). I know there are several guides for folks in the US, and other countries as well, but currently there is no OTA for Canada yet. We are literally left out in the cold. So, I thought I would put a collaborative guide together so the Canadians can enjoy some 5.0, too!
First and foremost, if you F up your phone, that's on you. This will void your warranty, and I am in no way responsible for any stupidity you conjure up during the process.
I have only tested this on the XT1064, which is the single SIM US/Canada model.
The issue when trying to simply follow the upgrade guide for the XT1064 is that the OTA file looks for a 4.4.4 variant of Android that needs to be the same region as where the OTA came from. If you try to install it on the Canadian versions, you will get an error. So, here goes:
1. Unlock your bootloader. Follow this wonderful guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...wip-unlock-bootloader-moto-g-2nd-gen-t2875728
2. Download the US version of 4.4.4, it can be found here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/2ygnt0x45vcr/RETUAWS_XT1064_4.4.4_KXB21.85-17_cid9_CFC.xml.zip
3. Extract the above file to the same location you installed Minimal ADB in the first step (C:\Program Files(x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
4. Turn your phone off and disconnect it from the computer. Press and hold the volume down (-) button and power button to get into Fastboot mode. Connect your phone to the computer.
5. Run Minimal ADB and run these commands:
PHP:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
I removed the modem commands on purpose, and I will explain why later.
6. Once the phone has rebooted, plug it in to the computer and follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/lollipop-moto-g-2014-xt1064-t2937361
You should now have Lollipop on your Canadian XT1064!
If you have issues with the WiFi or cellular, you may have to flash the modem commands again from the old file. I had to download the original Canadian ROM (http://www.filefactory.com/file/78znv8hx0tvt/RETCA_XT1064_4.4.4_KXB21.85-16_cid14_CFC.xml.zip) and using Fastboot flash the following:
PHP:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
After that I had no issues and everything seems to be working as it should. You can relock your bootloader afterwards if you like as well.
Thanks to the other contributors above, I was simply trying to put a quick guide together for us Canadian folks who wish to get Lollipop, too!
Cheers!
This is great - although I think I'm still "out in the cold." I have 11.24 and couldn't flash the above due to "downgrading." Unless I'm missing something... Any ideas?
This worked for me! Thanks for the awesome tutorial!

At which part do you get an error? Are you trying to use a script to flash, or are you doing exactly step by step like mentioned above? I had the latest of the late on my Moto G 2014, so I know that these steps work on it.
Is your bootloader unlocked as mentioned above?

Yeah - I'm not sure what the problem was - originally it wouldn't take the US ROM due to a downgrade error. Tried it again, after a factory reset and for some reason it went through. Flashing Lollipop and the modem after was no issue at all - so good to go now. It's beautiful.
Thanks for the follow-up.
AKA: I should have just ignored downgrade error + HAB fail on phone, the first time around
I am getting hab check failed for boot when i use the command " fastboot flash boot boot.img "
please help

Disregard the error and move on to the next command. You are going to get a few errors. Don't worry.
installing update
verifying current system
/system/app/3c_main.apl has unexpected contents
installation aborted
this is after i run the commands and upload from sd card...
followed your commands and tried few fresh zips
can you please help, it won't let me install the lollipop file
Another way:
Go to this link, XT1064 > Lollipop, download the file and extract it.
And follow the same idea of OP but with few changes:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot

This one just avoid you to flash USA KitKat and then Lollipop. This one goes directly to Lollipop.
Doesn't flash Modem/Radio from USA Lollipop because doesn't work on Canadian models, at least didn't work with WIND Mobile model.
WIND canada moto G XT1064 lollipop
Thanks very much for posting this. and thanks for posting the link for 5.02 from MEGA which is a lot faster than filefactory!
I've attached a link to the original Wind 4.4 modem files in case someone's modem doesn't work afterwards, if they followed the top post original instructions and accidentally flashed the US KitKat 4.4 modems.. instead of downloading that huge file from filefactory.com (extremely slow site), the link has just the 2 files (22MB).
https://mega.co.nz/#!dk430ZBZ!diHa6V-rcidHFc3niGjshk-2A9ELbqZtCnb63pFK010
Also may be worth mentioning to ignore the "hab check failed" messages when flashing lollipop. (I was using mfastboot)

Just a super-dooper-uber Thanks To NexusChrist!
Who ever you are, I tried to follow your system. it didn't work for me, infact I lost wifi connection, but anyways what I did was I used another script for this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...dows-tool-moto-g-2014-xt1064-restore-t2957167) And this worked, but now I lost Cellular Service....Big problem eh? Well no more, thanks to you. I downloaded the Canadian rom, and just to be more specific (cause it was kinda vague in the tutorial, (Extract the files again to the Mininal ADB fastboot file location the whole c drive thing yenno?)) And I ran that php and BAM thank you so much I was worried out of my MIND that I f'ed up my phone somehow. Foreal, bless your soul....or your XT1064?
No XT1064s were hurt in the making of this post

That happened because you flash the modem from Lollipop... Just flash the modem in OP and you will be ok.

Just a tad bit curious I also have a Wind Mobile Moto G2 and i'm just wondering how you unlocked the bootloader in the first place. If you could please share the process on how you did it that would be great.
Anyone know how we can get the LP bootloader on the Canadian version?
I'd like to be able to update my CM12.
Thanks!
Awesome
I'm on Bell &
everything is working 100% radio/wifi/bluetooth all good
Thanks
This is a great guide. But I'm wondering if we've been given any explanation on why Canadian Moto G's aren't getting OTA updates? It's April and my Moto G is saying up to date with 4.4.4. It's from wind if that matters.
I understand we can do this work around. I'm just trying to understand why we're not getting updates.

Your carrier is most likely the reason since they have the final say on updates.

But what about the people that bought their phones from Staples. It's unlocked and not associated to any carrier. They are directly under Motorola and still no update at all. Phone are getting 5.1 update already, but we're still at 4.4.4
What's so different in the Canadian market from the US one that the update can't come fast? Specially if the phone is not associated to a carrier and the update should come directly from Motorola
Haven't seen it around here, so I thought sharing is caring:
Image of Lollipop 5.0 RETEUALL for XT1092 version LXE22.46-19
DOWNLOAD http://motofirmware.com/files/file/1055-reteuall-xt1092-50-lxe2246-19-cid7-cfcxmlzip/
Enjoy!
How to flash (taken from https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images and modified)
After downloading the image for your device:
Unzip the image.
Put your device in fastboot mode. [e.g. by using "$ fastboot reboot"]
NOTE: You must use the Motorola fastboot utility to flash (included in the Darwin/, Linux/ or Windows/ directory). Please do NOT use the Android fastboot utility [better known as "mfastboot.exe" - so you probably change the command "fastboot" to "mfastboot"]
Follow the flashing steps in the .xml file that was included in the package.
A typical flashing sequence includes all these partitions, but might vary depending on your product - so please use the sequence in the .xml file in your package:
$ fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
$ fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
$ fastboot reboot-bootloader
$ fastboot flash logo logo.bin
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
$ fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
$ fastboot erase modemst1
$ fastboot erase modemst2
$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
$ fastboot erase customize [leave that out if you have special customization from motomaker]
$ fastboot erase clogo [leave that out if you have special customization from motomaker]
$ fastboot reboot
You also have the option to erase all the data on your device with
$ fastboot erase userdata
$ fastboot erase cache

What would be the use for this? For devices without an unlockable bootloader? Just curious why this wouldn't suffice.
It will be useful when you want to lock the bootloader back again.
I'm sure you'll want it if you were from a country like mine.

Once you request for the unlock code and unlock the bootloader of your device its done, relocking won't help you to claim warranty if the service center guy looks it up.

Hi, thanks for the upload.
I have a question, as my device is XT1092, the european version. But my carrier, Orange Spain, sells the Moto X unlocked, or they say so, and my phone version goes by 21.21.45.victara_oraeu.oraeuall.en.EU oraes. Should I be able to flash the ROM? I have experience doing so, so my question is just this one.
Thanks.
Yes, you can flash this image.
I myself flashed it on my French Orange Moto X (orafr).

I have that too, but since i flashed the retail modem (modem and fsg files) i think the "orafr" is related to the efs partition (something we don't "touch" during the flash process.

remember, it's a "rar" package, so you've to unpack it & then flash it via fastboot flash commands.
It can't be flashed via custom recovery like TWRP, you should be on stock ROM & recovery to flash this.

As you have flashed a TWRP you must have your bootloader unlocked. You need the firmware that your device was on when you did that.
Downgrading i.e. flashing an older firmware can brick your device.
The newer firmwares for reteu/retus are ending on 93-x, like
POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-4 (january security patch)
POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-8 (march security patch)
POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-10 (april security patch)
Earlier ones had another number scheme.
Firmware for India, Brazil and Asia Pacific is ending on 92-x.
I don´t know the Prime exclusive edition but I don´t think that it uses another firmware. But I heard of a Amazon version with ads and an unlockable bootloader?
How did you unlock then? Or are there different versions?
@Wolfcity I really don't know how to respond, but I can't figure this out. I don't know what firmware version to install, I don't know where I can find the firmware version, and whenever I try to run a fastboot command through adb I get stuck on an infinite "waiting for device" message. Can you please help me with step-by-step instructions on how to fix this?

Here are some firmware sources:
https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=171014
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/RETAIL/
http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=25&page=1
I can´t tell you on which firmware you were when you unlocked your bootloader. And the next problem is that you can´t run any fastboot commands, you need fastboot to flash the stock firmware with the commands I posted above.
Have you the latest Motorola drivers and something like Minmal ADB & Fastboot installed?
1) from TWRP run "Bootloader reboot"
2) send the command "fastboot devices" receive the serial number of the phone. Once you have obtained the serial download "POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.info.txt" and execute the commands as suggested.
