[Q] my moto G

Just wondering, in new to using Motorola's as I always normally use Sony, ppl are saying this phone should be a 4.4.3 or less but mine is a 4.4.4 is this normal? How do I unlock it as its telus? Any suggestions? Also off topic, there is a Roui launcher I used to love waiting for the bata test, has it ever came out?

4.4.4 is normal.

My Nexus 5 doesn't get Lollipop!

I bought my Nexus 5 a month ago, I got an update from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 right away, but since then.. No Lollipop. Doesn't matter what I try.
It's stock, brand new. I sold it to my dad because I'm an HTC guy and I got cold feet, and now he's all like "You sold me a ****ed up device, I don't think I'd get updates anymore".
I don't want to manually flash it, I just want to get the OTA like I'm supposed to. Why the hell don't I get the OTA after a month?! My friend bought it 2 days before me and got the OTA right away.
Please help guys.

Don't worry. Lollipop is a bugged mess

The very same thread pops up multiple times a day.
Its a rollout. It could come today, or it could come in a month. Flash/sideload it or stop complaining and wait.

ATT phones require an authorized SIM to access their OTA server. Without one you're out of luck unless someone captures the file from the update, and uploads it. Based on other posts Big Blue hasn't published the tot file publicly for their users on their site yet.
If someone roots after downloading the OTA the file might remain, then they can pull it from /cache or whichever directory LG stores updates on this model.
(A similar method was used to help G2 users that didn't have an ATT card for their D800. )

I already did... like 2 week ago.... and I sent the file and the guide to some people here but I have received no answer about if that works

I just ordered the phone from the Ebay sale and it would really suck if i can't update the phone since i'm on T-mobile

...because waiting to receive the phone

Yep, I'm waiting for mine to arrive too. I am more than willing to try this method when it arrives though. Of course those even braver than I can always try first and let us know how it goes!

Didn't see your guide yet, but hopefully those people will post their results soon. I would like to get this phone maybe next year when the price drops further, and having access to updates is important b/c development is basically dead & LG has no plans to unlock the loader.

So from snooping around in anticipation of getting my flex 2 and knowing that an update from ATT is probably not gonna happen using the phone up here in Canada I came across this idea.

@Sj12345 I take it that this is the procedure you were talking about trying to for the OTA update you captured?
It seems quite straightforward to me! Definitely got me more excited. I want to have that 5.1.1 goodness to bask in like the rest of you here in our little curved community. [emoji2]

Yes, it is basically that we need to do but I was trying to copy the files using download mode, unfortunately the system deleted the files when you reboot, so you need root and update with root is dangerous XD who wanna be the tester

I didn't see anything posted or i may have missed it, but can you use someone's sim card that is with ATT just to get the update and then swap back to TMobile cell? Or does it have to be used for a certain amount of time with ATT?
thank you,

You should be able to pop in an active AT&T sim, turn on your phone, and check for an update, and then swap back to your Tmo sim no problem.
There's in no time limit, but the problem you might run into is updates don't get automatically pushed out even if available and even if you check. They get rolled out by region or some other formula, so sometimes you have to call ATT support and ask them to push it to your phone, which you can't do since you'd be borrowing a friends ATT sim.
The other problem is you can only check for an update once every 24 hours, so you kind of only get one shot with a friends ATT sim. People get around this by manually setting the date forward and re-checking. Lastly, the most recent ATT update was just released September 3rd. They roll out slowly, so you often can't pull them when manually checking for an update right after a release because they are still rolling out per whatever formula ATT uses.
The more time that passes after ATT releases new software update-- say at least a few weeks -- the more likelihood you'll have success checking for an update with a friend's ATT sim because they've already rolled out and, hopefully, they are just available on demand.
(Disclaimer: This is all my best guess/understanding. I'm no authority and certainly welcome anybody correcting me).

Thanks for the answer. I get my phone next friday so will see if it picks it up.
Thanks

I'm on cricket wireless so I got tired of doing all these tricks for the update and lost my patience. I flashed to the Puerto Rico version of 5.1.1 and it worked. Got rid of all AT&T crap and updated me from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1. As always beware that there are risks involved and you may end up with a brick. Here's the thread where you'll find instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3180847

Marshmallow 6.0.1 for LG G Stylo

Do you think that the LG G Stylo will receive Android 6.0 and Android 6.0.1? I know the variant from T-mobile will get the updates, they have confirmed that, but will the Stylo's on Metro PCS get them too? Its exactly the same phone. Metro PCS fb reps won't comment on this.

chances are yes and with the record so far you guys are the only ones that will get the KDZ as well

most likely, Metro pcs is owned by T-mobile.

yep, they bought it about what two years ago or so now.

http://www.cnet.com/news/what-t-mobiles-merger-with-metropcs-means-to-you-faq/

So now the question is.... How long do we wait.. Any ideas?

Their comments on it. I don't think the customer reps know much anyways though...

Well I think I need to switch to metro then. No word on boost love. There's nothing to lose. And I'll gain an extra gb of ram

Boost and sprint are getting the marshmallow update zv7. Don't know about T-Mobile and metro

Just grabbed a Boost Stylo today for a decent price, installed the rooted system image from 6th_Hokage and have it working fairly well after freezing out a lot of stuff but even so the RAM usage seems pretty excessive with not much going on - this is with no apps running after a reboot and at about 1 min I started up System Monitor Lite to take a peek:
I mean, I've gutted it of most everything I can that could interfere with the startup and suck out the RAM en mass so, I suppose it'll work itself out. Not bad performance I suppose but of course the Boost/Sprint variants of the Stylo are handicapped for no good reason with 1GB of RAM and when I had a MetroPCS variant a few weeks ago it was very noticeable in terms of overall performance.
Anyway, I just noticed this Marshmallow info over at another site so it's pretty cool to see it being pushed from Boost just before the end of the year, pretty cool indeed. I don't know if I'll bother with it at this point since root is a must and I'm not sure if or when we'll see it for Android 6.0.1 on this device (LS770). Will be nice to see if there's any improvement in this after-boot RAM usage as well, especially after some removal of some bloatware whenever it happens.
Will be interesting to see how things progress now that it's finally here, definitely.

according to T-Mobile's software update tracking site the Stylo is confirmed for getting a 6.0 update, although they haven't really given a timeframe for it. It's currently listed as "Manufacturer Development" which means that they most likely haven't started their own testing on it just yet. My best guess is that we'll see it come before Q2 of next year on T-Mobile, and possibly a similar timeframe for MetroPCS as well (since they're a child company of T-Mobile).
Can't really say for the Boost/Virgin/Cricket models though. Sprint already has 6.0 pushed to the Stylo in some markets and is supposedly rolling them out across more now. And since Boost and Virgin are child companies of Sprint, they'll probably also see an update soon.

It will probably be soon. They can't roll out updates to everyone all at once. They usually do it by region.

Ehh....warned my bro that has my rooted Stylo not to except any system updates....hopefully we can crack that update soon

If it's rooted it shouldn't accept any updates, at least that's how most every phone running Android is these days: any tampering or changes to the system partition (which obviously flashing your rooted system img does) should prevent the OTA check from being successful. At least that's how it is on some other devices I've owned in the past 1.5 years - if the device ain't pure 100% bone stock with no mods done at all the OTA's usually just don't even happen but, this could be different, I don't know but I suppose we'll find out soon enough.

So is that 6.0.1 marshmallow or just 6.0. What variant do you have (boost)? Just curious
