Have you upgraded to lollipop historically? Or is this the First Upgrade ?
I have not been able to upgrade my XT 1039 , I suspect is due to the bootloader being unlocked . According to Motorola the Upgrade will fail if bootloader is unlocked , see here

Having an unlocked bootloader, doesn't prevent you from upgrading via OTA.
But an OTA will fail to install of you modified your system in any way, like removing bloat, installing xposed framework, etc.
Sent from my XT1031
I formated , erased all , clean installed 4.4.4 LTE BRAZIL RETAIL Stock ROM, And do a clean data/cache ..
Ota works, but Calls don't work
"Please disable airplane mode"
Normal mode.. Airplane is OFF!
._.
Updated to Lollipop v.23.21.35.peregrine_retail.retbr.en.BR
Calls in same probkem
I see contacts in SIM
But Signal don't work
No root. Stuck ROM...
And bootloader UNLOCKED..
Imei is 00
And SV is 00 :/
I flashed stock rom Kitkat and immediately tried the OTA update ( OS left untouched ) , which starts then failed every time .
I posted about this elsewhere and was told this was likely due to the bootloader being unlocked

Hello. This thread is mainly for questioning/research/knowledge, as I don't have any major issue with my phone right now. I had retail ar firmware 4.4.4 with locked LB, converted to 4.4.4 Retail BR, tried to install the ota, it didn't (because locked bl) and when I tried to go back to retail AR i bricked (downgraded for boot) and I couldn't flash it properly due to preflash validation error (locked bl) so I unlocked BL and now everything works fine, and I sucessfully installed the XT1033 OTA on my XT1032, runs pretty good.
I've been reading on the incompatibility between bootloaders of 4.4 and 5.0.
For now I will wait to official update for XT1032 and flash that, but couldn't you just use the reflash bootloader tool that is around this forum and flash a 4.4.4 bootloader and all the stock firmware files? In case I for some reason wanna go back for 4.4.4.
If you install 5.0 on a 4.4 bootloader using cwm, does it work correctly? If it does, why do they update the bootloader in the first place?
Is there any working custom recovery for L? or in development? In case In the future when the OTA gets released I wanted to flash viper4audio (I'm priving myself of that beauty that I used on old phones just for the locked BL [warranty brah] but obviously not a problem now..) or I could just root and use one of those zip flashing apps? (I cant remember its name)
Thanks.

you mean the hard brick when your pc only detects it as qcom-something? that's bad for you
I only softbricked mine luckily, but I'll let you know anyway I felt damn stupid when I couldn't boot my phone because of my sudden impatience after waiting months from this update, just because didn't wait a little more
iirc there are some methods on the forum I think using that tool I mentioned to get it back, good luck with that

I suggest you not to downgrade to 4.4.4 as of now. you flashed OTA and you are in lollipop now.. Enjoy.... And wait for official release OTA for Xt1032 and firmware files. Once it released, Devs will surely create flashable zips... then you can reflash your version lollipop... People reporting bricks and many dspaly issue when they tried downgrading it..

Ok I had a notification on the Moto G that there was an official Lollipop update available , along with a prompt to download 23.21.17 ( see attachments )
I initially tried upgrading from a rooted stock version of UK tesco firmware/Rom .
The firmware update started and the phone booted into a boot-loader ( with android image laying down ) The firmware update started , However this firmware update failed around halfway and the phone simply booted back into kitkat firmware/Rom
I then suceeded in re-flashing a stock UK KitKat ( 4.4.4) retail rom , then unrooted the Moto G , so theoretically the phone is stock but boot-loader is still unlocked .
I suspect the phone recognizes the boot loader is unlocked and fails to complete the update process
IS there a possibility this is an incorrect update ? I have not seen officail confirmation of lollipop for UK peregrine XT1039 yet which makes me suspicious of the new lollipop update on phone . Could this be due to me using Hola VPN ?
Please advise
Bump
I guess this means I have to update the unofficial way ?

Reflash stock ROM, and stock recovery. Ota will not update if the phone is rooted (even unrooted), if the system files are changed (xposed) or if the recovery isn't stock. So, basically, you can't use twrp, Cwm, etc. You have to be COMPLETELY stock.

Does it matter that the phone has been unlocked ? I mean an unlock code was used so it could acccept any sim card . Does that mean I have to reflash Tesco Firmware Rom , or would retail firmware ROM be ok ?
Dear Friends,
I recently rooted my Moto G 1st Gen, Indian version and within 2 days itself I am able to receive update from 5.0.2 to 5.1.
When I download the update (208 MB) and install it , it reboots. I see the android boy logo of installing the update but suddenly it stops and reboots.
After reboot it tells that there was a problem in updating software and no change has been made.
What could be the problem? Pls help me friends.
Thank you.
bro you rooted the device it means you have changed system , try unrooting and reinstall the zip may be that works

What you do is flash 5.0.2 firmware images through fastboot then manually install 5.1(file you can get from other threads)
Just unrooting might not help. You'll then have to install stock 5.0.2 again if unrooting doesn't work...

I have reflashed(clean install= wiped data/cache/system) 5.0.2 Asian lollipop stock rom,which doesnt upgrade bootloader i.e im on kitkat bootloader. after flashing, i lost root access and i'm on stock recovery. And Now I got 5.1 OTA, can i install it or not? Because while turning on my device, i get custom image first and then motorola animation,i get this custom image because i have made it by moto g boot logo creator + flasher.
[TIA]

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
