No, and LG doesn't help
ATT Note 4/5, VZ Moto X-2, VZ Moto E-2, and many other devices have locked bootloaders with no known exploits. The ATT Flex 2 (and maybe G4+V10) is included.

Will it be possible to turn my unlocked U.S GSM Moto G into a Google Play Edition with it being able to receive OTA updates from Google?
My Moto G is all stock atm.
Sent from my XT1034 using Tapatalk
it should be possible by soon, just as its possible for HTC one and GS4 to turn into their google edition roms.
I just hope it's possible for dual sim as well since the google edition one is only out in single sim version

you will likely need to unlock your bootloader but other than that, it should absolutely be possible.
And I'll need root, correct? I remember when I had my at&t HTC one that you couldn't just flash the GPe edition ROM for OTA updates you had to do something else for that..

Most likely not. But we will not know until they post the rom.

Why not? Some people may appreciate the Google Dialer or the pure Nexus experience.

New dialer, no bloatware, full list of system languages (like Russian for example)
I am waiting for such conversion guide. I did the same with my HTC One before.
UPD: As I am using Nexus 5 I want only stock Android on my other devices . Because 4.4.2 is awesome ) I really enjoy it.
Thanks for the replies, i wasn't asking it to sound rude,
just didnt know what the differences where.
I don't know about u guys but I have the Google dialer on my stock-non rooted US GSM moto g. On 4.4... It's the same one as my nexus 4...
So besides the camera software and no Motorola features/ apps (which I find cool/ useful like the battery saver) there's really no difference.... Yeah software updates... Whatever.

Faster Android updates and probably outlast Motorola's updates..as OEMs typically stop putting out updates once another device comes and steals the thunder.
As for the dailer I think that's still exclusive to the Nexus 5 where it shows a picture based on the number which it gets from a automatic Google search I think..possibly more features.

IMO we don't know yet if GPE versions will actually be faster.
Moto mostly just added a few Moto apps for their OEM version. That's why they had 4.4 ready so fast I think.
And the reality with GPE is that the OEM, Motorola, is actually responsible for the work.
So Moto could decide to release simultaneous or delay one or the other.
If they ship both OEM and GPE 4.5's shortly after Android 4.5 is announced, that will make them look good (and will be good), and I'd bet that's part of their plan.
An unlocked Moto X can have the bootloader unlocked and then have different firmwares flashed to it. For example, I had a Moto X from Mexico...sim unlocked. I unlocked the bootloader, of course voiding the warranty and I flashed the ATT firmware to it. So I basically converted it to a ATT Moto X. Which is similar to converting a ATT HTC One to a GPe HTC One etc.
Nevertheless, because our Moto G's bootloader can be unlocked and we can flash firmwares etc once it unlocked, I'm assuming we'll be able to flash the GPe Firmware to our Moto G..

I have the following question: Is it possible to install the android version of GPE on a regular Moto G? And if that is possible, i will can update via OTA in the next Android launches?
Judging from the s4 and HTC one. Yes you can probably flash it, but no ota's won't work.

If its like the HTC One., you will get OTA's.
If it's like the S4, you will not get OTA's.
Because our bootloader is unlockable, I'm hoping we will be able to easily convert just like it's easy to convert unlocked Moto X's over to different carriers / firmware. And if so, we will get OTA's as well.

Very much looking forward to the Google Play Edition ROM becoming available for the Moto G sold by Motorola. That will mean I could have both the GPE ROM plus the use of the 1700 / 2100 MHz (AWS) band that is used by T-Mobile for 3G HSPA+ / 4G in the USA.
hey guys
i tried to unlock bootloader via motorola web site but it says my device does not qualify for unlocking
tried flashing recoveries, root zips and updated to official kitkat, but still does not work
phoned motorola support and they said motorola doesn't guarantee bootloaded getting unlocked, it depends on luck
any suggestion?

I had this problem too, but I checked all individuals characters of my code and deleted some spaces between them... After that check up everything worked like a charm !

If problem persists go to Motorola Customer Forum.
Read this.
"I have some news with respect to our Android Marshmallow 6.0 upgrades.
This afternoon we have started to fully rollout Android Marshmallow 6.0 on 2015 Moto X Pure Edition (3rd Gen) with the following carriers; Verizon, Sprint and USC.
In addition, we have started the soak test period in Brazil and India retail for the 2015 Moto X Play and in Brazil retail for the 2015 Moto X Force.
We are continuing to work to rollout Android Marshmallow 6.0 to the previously announced devices as listed on the Official Motorola Blog.
Thanks and enjoy!"

I'm in the same boat, I'm on Cricket. Other sites stated At&t & T-Mobile (probably) to follow...
I'm reading other people are popping out their SIMs and getting the update : "Just installed my marshmallow update on my Moto x pure edition. I'm neither on any of the US carriers. I took out my sim, searched for updates and I got the OTA update notification and installed. Good luck guys! "
This has NOT worked for me
oops, pulled sim and updated. Hopefully, this will not effect the tmobile carrier update..

hopefully you wont have to do this but when i had my Nexus 6 i bought directly from moto with my verizon SIM in it, I had to do a factory reset with the SIM removed in order for it to get the OTAs that were pushed directly from google.:fingers-crossed:

Why is anyone waiting at this point anyway? We know the files are the same and the download is available for anyone to flash. There is no T-Mobile update coming other than this one.
What's the build number of the latest rollout?

In general I would agree, but if there technically is no difference, why didn't GSM users on ATT and TMo get the update? Band 12 certification is only a TMo issue, so shouldn't have impacted ATT.
I have this nagging feeling that Moto isn't telling us something, and with the absence of a true signed factory restore file, I'm a little gun shy about flashing something that may impact my ability to get a proper OTA a little down the line...

While I'm technically on ATT my just received replacement MXP has not seen a sim card yet and I get the OTA just fine.

I tried yesterday. I turned off my phone, removed my sim card and reboot it. No OTA. Well, I'm in Canada so maybe that didn't help much. [emoji14]

In Utah, removed sim card, waited a few minutes checked for update, no dice! Repeated the process multiple fine with no chance. Bought moto x through moto maker and rocking T-Mobile

Is your phone on a carrier contract? I've heard phones on carrier contracts take longer than stock unlocked phones to get updates. But you will surely get the update eventually

A little searching can go A LONG way.
After some testing I must admit that the GPS lock time (with this version N) is 3-6X the time needed by the previous version before update (MM). Have you noticed the same issue?
