Hi, I've a first generation Motorola G, and when I go to the Update settings there is no updates, so I think to install Lollipop manually. I've tried with Cyanogenmod, but there isn't a version for my device, so... what would I do?!

Have you tried this? Are you rooted?

Hi,
when you get your update depends on your region and carrier, so maybe it just takes a bit patience If you don't want to wait and don't have a dual sim device you find the recent CM-version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/orig-development/rom-official-cyanogenmod-12-nightly-t2994749 and additionally you could think about flashing the OTA (there are various threads in the General-section).

Hi All,
I have looked through the forums and searched the Google and I can't find the correct info for my situation so I appreciate any help.
I have a Moto G GPe that I ordered from Google Play, it came with Android 4.4.2 on it and I am wondering if I can downgrade it to 4.3.
I've unlocked the bootloader and it looks like I should be able to flash a custom recovery, the problem is that I cannot find an image for the stock Moto G GPe 4.3 firmware.
I want to downgrade because I have a need to test an Android app on 4.3.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

There is a regular Motorola 4.3 firmware available
you can get it here - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
just to let you know, it will try to force you to update to 4.4.2

Awesome, I wasn't sure if I could use the regular Motorola firmware on it. I had read that the partition tables are different and I've only seen threads where people flash from the Motorola firmware to the GPe version.
Do you think this would present any problems?
Thanks again.
Backup anything you want to keep because the phone will be completely wiped. There should be no problems. You can find out how to easily disable KitKat 'update' notifications, if you search this forum. It's worth considering there is an issue with the Moto G that should be patched in the next few weeks, but that will require you to update to 4.4.2/3.

If you look at the software update news page of Motorola, and scroll down to where you purchased the device, the dual-sim Indian version of Moto G isn't listed.
We're probably not going to get an early update for our XT1033 devices.

don't worry. when you have a look at the other providers like t-mobile or verizon etc, the xt1032 (single sim) doesn't appear either. it is probably the case, that motorola just haven't added the devices in the provider list, but i am sure that everybody can still enjoy android lollipop when it gets released
its confirmed already dude you must go to country option in site and select india you can find the info . check out this link https://motorola-mobility-en-in.custhelp.com/app/software-upgrade-news/g_id/2014#gs=eyJndWlkZUlEIjoyMDE0LCJxdWVzdGlvbklEIjoxLCJyZXNwb25zZUlEIjoxOSwiZ3VpZGVTZXNzaW9uIjoiSHprV3R0NW0iLCJzZXNzaW9uSUQiOiJIemtXdHQ1bSJ9

when you select Retail from the dropdown menu,
you will get this message
"This device will be upgraded to the Android 5 Lollipop release of Android, pending partner support."
Soak tests for xt1033 have already started and we will get the update by the end of november or December first week.
sorry if this is a stupid question, but if i've already unlocked the bootloader, and installed root and recovery but i didnt change/modify the original ROM 4.4.4 from my moto G, to get the lolipop update, i just need to install the original "stock" recovery or i will need to flash everything (firmware/radio/originalrom, etc) again? thanks

If you're rooted, you changed your system.

i have the original moto g (xt1033) which is the dual sim variant.
but i have the xt1032 gpe image installed on it.
someone told me when the OTA comes out for lollipop and when i update my phone. the update might brick it. is there any chance of that happening?
Well your phone thinks that it's the xt1032, I wouldn't take the chance of flashing the XT1032 bootloader and bricking it. I'm in the same position as you right now, what I'm going to do is wait for the lollipop update to become a flashable .zip so i don't need to run OTA and flash the new bootloader which would make downgrading and unbricking impossible until it releases on XT1033... whereas a zip flashed in recovery would be pain-free and safe if you're already converted to xt1032, you know that atleast, I'm hoping, cause all single sim roms ontop of converted GPE xt1033 run the sim fine, but the OTA including bootloader is the bad part.
tl;dr: DONT install the OTA update, wait for a flashable zip and flash it over your converted setup or you risk bricking from new bootloader

Actually, being rooted can make the installation seem fine, when really it isn't.

Got an update for the Motorola Update-services app in the Play Store today.
It says in the release notes it is in preparation of the Lollipop update.
Hopefully it will also become available for the dual sim Moto G.
When I do the update check it still says my software is up-to-date..
So I flashed the brazillian lollipop OTA on my Indian XT033 and can someone explain to me step by step how I'll be able to flash the Indian Lollipop update when it releases publicly without losing my data?

Why you flashed Brazilian version. It could brick your phone. Motorola is gonna release official android L here in less than a week, i guess.
Anyway, download indian version of stock 4.4.4 and flash it with stock recovery. Relock the bootloader. Latest motorola adb and fastboot drivers should be there before starting this whole process.
Motorola has updated its OTA updater app a couple of days ago. So go to play store and update it to make your phone ready for android lollipop

And in this way you could end up messing your phone.
Once youre on lollipop there's no way as of now to downgrade to KK.
But once the india lollipop update is out someone will figure out a way to install that.Until then enjoy your phone o Brazilian 5.0.
And also I dont find some good reason to install Indian update ovr brazilian one coz there will be no major change.
I guess both are "Asia retail" firmwares?

nice just got a notification on my phone that an update is available.
I wonder if a rooted and custom kernel (experience) would interfere with a smooth upgrade?
- would I lose root?
- custom kernel problematic?
thanks merlin
