[Q] Will I get OTA? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I know there's a lot of update posts and what not but Id rather not fudge up my phone.
I bought the US GSM variant from Moto, I converted it into a GPE awhile ago. Will I get the OTA like a normal GPE or am I gonna have to do it manually? Also am I still a XT1032?
Thank you for any info or help....much appreciated

Also I am NOT rooted but do have unlocked bootloader

[Q] Verizon HTC One Kitakat update without OTA

Hi,
I have bought an Verizon HTC One(4G LTE) when I was in US. But now I moved to India and I use a different carrier. The Phone works fine. But my phone shows its LOCKED and S-ON.
Now I want to update my phone to Kitkat 4.4.2. I cant get the OTA of software as I don't use Verizon anymore.
Can anyone please help me to update my software to kitkat.
Thanks,
Sid.

T-mobile Lollipop Update?

Hi all,
I've tried googling around and searching the forums here for this question but I can't seem to find the exact scenario I'm looking for. Sorry if it's a bit of a noob question.
I recently bought an unlocked Moto G 4G from Amazon (Moto's edition, not GPE) and I'm currently using it on T-mobile. When Lollipop is eventually released, will I receive an OTA update from Google? Or will I receive it at all? I ask because I know T-mobile doesn't actually offer the Moto G so I can't imagine the update coming from them. I'm just wondering if I'll have to do some work myself to get it on the device or if I'll get something automatically.
Thanks for any help.

The first part of your question Iv answered in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56290476&postcount=274
The second half of your question is if you bought it from a retailer sim free you will get an update direct from Motorola
In about phone if it says peregrine_ret then your country then it's the retail version
You can also check the Motorola website as it will list release date when they announce it

You will get it directly from Motorola, at the same time as all the other retail moto Gs in your part of the world.

My phone does say peregrine_ret under about phone. So that would mean I'll get an update from Motorola when they release their Lollipop version for the G, right? Thanks for your help!

You should do long as you are on stock rom and don't have any xposed modules which break otas installed but you can always flash a fresh stock rom if that is the case in order to upgrade

Flashing question?

Only reason im posting this is because i saw some mixed things. So basically my buddy has a moto g. Cricket, locked bootloader his device cannot be unlocked. Now his device is on 4.4.2 and hes gomma be a long way from lollipop. So im wondering if he can flash the moto g to thr gpe 4.4.4 edition then be able to update to lollipop?
I'm waiting for a little bit until lollipop is stable on moto g.
I saw many guys who are stucking on downgrade from lollipop to KK.
The gpe version on my phone is running flawlesssly.
How would he flash GPE (or any other ROM) with a locked bootloader?
Unlock it ?!

His phone cannot be unlocked according to motorola? I thought you could flash stock roms

[Q] Request Lollipop 5.1.x original from AT&T

Hi, I bought last month a LG G3 D850 from AT&T, I'm from Argentina.
I must say that I'm very disappointed about this phone by the way, the extraction of the FM chip is really anoying.
But I have it, and for a year maybe I must use it.
The problem is that AT&T only update Android if you have a SIM Card from AT&T, and in Argentina AT&T doesn't exist.
I rooted the phone and try Cyanogem (the graphics are really poor and the performance is poorer) and Cloudy G3 (that has A LOT of bugs and problems with the system).
So I ask you, if you can help me, the official AT&T Room of Lollipop. I prefer a lot of AT&T programs (that can be uninstalled) that have a rom that crash every 5 minutes.
I apreciate your help a lot.

You can follow my LG G3 back to stock guide and use the tot method. But there's no lollipop. You'd be stuck with kitkat, as OTA doesn't work. There's no official D850 lollipop tot and probably never will be. You'd have to flash KitKat. And hope OTA might some how work or try manually downloading the OTA after rooting the fresh install of kitkat.

That's a shame.
But anyway, it's secure to come back to kitkat? Or there's a chance of broke the phone without a chance of recoverying it?
Can you put the link of the guide?
Thank you!

There will always be a way. . Just like ever since it first came out. It's just very doubtful that a stock lollipop will come out.
It's not easy to link when mobile but here you go. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53452990
Also just googling LG G3 back to stock that guide is the first one.

If you are OK with keeping root and TWRP, there are in fact stock ATT lollipop roms that you can use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-lg-d850-20f-lollipop-5-0-1-extras-t3052041 - Stock ATT 5.0.1 ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-20f-stock-rom-debloated-t3059610 - Same stock ATT 5.0.1 ROM but with most ATT apps removed
Thank you very much!!!!!

Need some advice about flashing a firmware

Hi! I bought my S8+ some days ago from AT&T Mexico, just got it unlocked. I want to stay stock, no don't really want to root my device and I want to receive OTA updates as if I had an unlocked international version.
I've been reading quite a bit on the forum but I'm just more confused about how to achieve that. First of all, I don't really care about CSC here, at&t Mexico doesn't offer anything special or something that I want to keep and updates from them usually take ages to be available. So, I want my device to be as if I just bough an international unlocked version if possible and receive OTA updates normaly so I can have the latest firmware.
Hope I'm being clear with this, I'm a little confused about what to do. Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I already have ODIN and I know how to use it but I don't know what to do now.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I have the Exynos version. G955F
