People i know haven't even unlocked their bootloader

But can't update?

me too, have the same problem.
I'll just flash the 4.4.4 EU image for my XT1032...
and I'll do the same thing for when lollipop comes around

Its look like you must reset factory then direct updating your firmware..

have you unroot and relocked your bootloader?

Try restoring to stock: Flash 4.4.3, go to stock recovery and try to make the update search, if this is not working do a clean flash (wipe cache+userdata) and try to update, some time ago i noticed that cannot update the firmware of my 4.4.2 because the cmw recovery, then wiped cache and intalled stock recovery and everything went fine

To receive OTA updates device should be only on stock recovery no cmw, no twrp. Try to install stock recovery with fresh stock rom, and remember to enable any disabled system apps (if any) like Motorola services, Motorola OTA, then only you will able to receive and install updates....

You need the stock recovery

[Q] cant install android 5.1

Hello
I run stock rom with twrp
I download the update and then i tap to install it
It reboot my phone into recovery mode without updating it
Then i reboot my phone and i realize that the update was lost
It says me that my phone is updated(thats not true)
What can i do?
Maybe i can flash the update because i downloaded it and probably it is somewhere in my device?
Please help me
Thanks

Assuming you are rooted (since you mentioned TWRP), you cannot install updates to Lollipop - because your system partition is modified. You will need to be completely stock if you want to take OTA.
P.S. The update is 5.0.1, not 5.1

I was in the same condition, I flashed a stock lollipo android 5 with is home kernel, no root and with unlocked bootloader but the result is not changing. When the 5.1 update pop appears I confirm dowbload, I confirm installation but when reboot in recovery a very fast fake installation runs on error and then stop on home twrp immage.
Please any flashable pure stock will probably be easier.
Thanks

Sorry jj14 I confirm update is 5.0.1

Backup your apps and other files on your phone and just flash the 5.0.1 factory image, reroot and restore your user apps and you`re done.

Could you please upload a stock .zip file 5.0.1 that I could flash from recovery??

you will be able to download the OTA but not install it.
unrooting and uninstalling the xposed, and flashing stock recovery will not work.
I suggest you to back up the OTA zip file after it downloads to the computer (/cache/ folder - its outside the sdcard directory)
you will need root to backup the OTA zip file (use ES File Explorer with Root options)
now flash the stock 4.4.4 firmware (the one that got the OTA update) with fastboot
the Lollipop update checks if the system folder was modified in any way. if it has, the update will fail

Problem is once the bootloader is unlocked, it can't be relocked until stock firmware image is flashed. I was searching for relocking bootloader in non-gpe moto g but no gain. Relocking process in gpe moto g is working very well though.

I have a rather different scenario . . i have stock ROM, custom recovery, unlocked bootloader and root access . .i tried to get the official lollipop update, but it got rejected due to low internal memory . .then after clearing memory, when i check for system updates , it says my "software is up to date" while it is still in kitkat!! . .i have been then checkin for updates again and again for days but still no use . .plz what should i do to get the official update? . .i have seen lots of others asking the same thing in different sites.but no answer.

Yes you can flash the OTA update without any issues. Considering your bootloader is 41.18 you wont be having any trouble and obviously since you clean flashed 5.0.2 surely your bootloader must have updated itself automatically
