[Final Q][Will Moto G running Lollipop be rootable or not?] - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Earlier Chainfire said that Android 5 is a lockdown and unrootable and then he/they (i really don't know) came up with the root for Nexus 9
So as the final question will Moto G running L be rootable or not?
And i know i shouldn't ask this but what could be the ETA
P.S. - Please correct me if i missed some part of the story

Updates?

Now that Google has sold off Motorola to Lenovo, are we still expecting regular updates or is this device doomed to the never to be updated category?
I have KK on already, is that going to be it?
There aren't any more updates for Android right now, it's at 4.4.2 and no one here can predict the future. Moto G was released with a planned update for 4.4.2, they didn't promise any others.
Depends on when android 4.5/ 5 get released
If its in next 5 to 6 months...Moto g would get
If not Atleast Gpe version would get it and we can port it from there
So All gud

[Q]

I currently have a Moto G 1st Gen UK. I am currently waiting for lollipop however I have seen that the GPE edition already has lollipop now. Because it appears that moto g gen 1 and moto g gpe has identical hardware, would i be able to flash a gpe rom on my stock 4.4.4 gen 1? That way I could have gpe lollipop on my device?
Another question if the above is possible, would it would in the UK as i'm currently on O2?

It's somehow a way to catch attention but at least in the future you should consider to give your threds more meaningful titles
Concerning your question: don't think this will work that easy since gpe and non-gpe use different file systems on the userdata partition (ext4 and f2fs). If you are willing to unlock your bootloader you can of course think about CM or some other custom ROM.
Is O2 your provider? As long as your rom correctly can address your sim-card (what should be the case if you flashed the right one) there shouldn't be problems with your provider.

[Completed] Moto x 2013 !

GUys i have unlocked bootloader on my moto x (2013) XT1052 ..Will i get future updates from google ? and what is the latest version of android ? :angel:
Usually after you root you lose OTA updates, because OTAs will unroot your phone or fail to update if you're on a custom recovery.
Latest version from what i can tell is 5.1 for your device

U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 any update is coming ?

Hello!
I am currently running Moto Maxx XT1250 on 4.4.4 android. And the device says that there is no any update for me by air.
Does anyone have any information about upcoming update for XT1250 from 4.4.4 to 5.x.x. or 6.x.x. ?
Thank you!
I don't think so. Motorola appears to have abandoned the XT1250 to 4.4.4 like the Moto Turbo got left out of the 6.0 update. I have the same issue on my XT1250, and I'm just going to be returning it and getting an XT1225 unless there's a way to flash XT1225 firmware on my XT1250. I tried it with the retail Brazil firmware and Wi-Fi got permanently broken as well as cellular, so I had to go back to the American XT1250 stock software.
OMG this is a very bad news for me.
Well
1) the Droid Turbo XT1254 Quark bootloader just got unlocked -- so when the devs flood to that with whatever ROMs, you can flash those too. The XT1250 and XT1254 have the same FCC ID. They are identical in every respect.
2) I know @Skrilax_CZ, the CM dev for Quark has been developing support for the XT1250 as well as @baybutcher27 the Resurrection Remix dev. For awhile they were handicapped because no one with an XT1250 would volunteer to help test stuff. Not sure what the current state is, you would have to ask them.
Good news everyone, 1250 just got the OTA update (still 5.0.2 however). 22.34.27.en.US version number.
Got my OTA today.

Last time the XT1250 was update 9 months after Droid Turbo XT1254 (same device) was updated. And now the Droid Turbo just got updated to Marshmallow beginning of December 2016. Hope it won't be as long this time?
Last time was July 2015 (Lollipop) for Droid Turbo XT1254, and then March 2016 (Lollipop) for XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx.
Maybe will be March 2017 for the XT1250... Otherwise if "9 months" (like last time) then you are looking at August 2017.
