[Q] Android 5.0 Lollipop for Moto X 1st - Moto X Q&A

Hello!
Is possible to get Android 5.0 for a Moto X 1st Generation? XT1058 for example?
I have my phone rooted and unlocked, how I get the new android?
Thanks!

Yes but you have to wait on Motorola to push the ota.
root, roms, and themes.. oh my!

There's this but doesn't look like anyone is doing anything but chatting and debating.

[Q] Android L OTA on Unlocked/Rooted

Got a notification for a system update a few hours ago, it's the Android L update. Running 4.4.4 unlocked & rooted on XT1095 Pure. Does anyone know if this update removes root/unlock, or will I be the first victim?
Also, on an unrelated note, does GravityBox for KK still work in L?

As far I know every OTA breaks the root, you will need to root again using the brand new CF method for Lollipop.
Xposed is not supported on Lollipop, so, Gravity Box will not work on it.

[Q] Moto X Pure Edition Rooted on 4.4.4 update to 5.0

Hey Guys!
So i am on a rooted pure edition 4.4.4 Moto X Pure Edition (XT1095).
I do get the OTA update for 5.0 but I have not downloaded it because I have rooted the phone. So my question is , can I do a complete unroot using SuperSu and then continue with the OTA?
Is that safe? If not , what is the best way to get to 5.0
Thanks

Should work just fine from 4.4.4 to 5.x It did on my 2013 Nexus 7 which was stock rooted + unlocked bootloader. The only thing I ever had to do was re-root after and you'll have to do the same. The same root method and file works on 5.0.........I just used it a couple weeks ago on my X which was on 5.0 out of the box because I just got it.
Once you're on 5.0 though it's more work to get updates. Google changed what they're looking for when checking the partitions (can't remember exactly what offhand) and now if any modifications have been made (rooted, added/removed system apps, etc.) the OTA's will fail. On my N7 I had to wait for the factory image to be released and I just flashed the system.img in fastboot. I'm not sure what will be needed on the X since the only images I see so far are for 4.4.4

Why do I keep seeing people talk about stock 5.1.1 on the XT1096?

Am I completely missing something? Last I knew 5.1 was the latest OTA on XT1096, not 5.1.1.
5.1.1 would be a custom rom. 5.1 is the latest official.

Exactly, but when the word "stock" is stuck in front of "5.1.1" I'm left like
As far as I know, the fixes from android 5.1.1 were included in the 5.1 update moto provided..
So in a matter of speaking, the moto 5.1 ís android 5.1.1

And you think that because?
It seems to me that if that were the case they wouldn't have called it 5.1.
I think I read it in a thread here, or at another forum.. Don't recall.
I concur, it isn't logical to name it 5.1 instead of 5.1.1... But then again, the combo "Moto" and "making good decisions" isn't really happening at the moment

Well I unlocked my XT1096 Bootloader now what?

About to root, but I'd like to go up to Marshmallow. Does CM13 work on the 96? Have people started porting the Pure 2014 Marshmallow ROM over to the 96?
Thanks!
Mods, if you wouldn't mind deleting this thread, it's a bit redundant. Thanks!
Yes CM13 works. You have a few ROMs to choose from for the XT1096. Development is somewhat limited, but most I have seen support vzw network.

Pókemon Go on (rooted) Moto X Pure

Hello,
my friend has a Moto X Pure, running on Android 7.0 currently, not rooted yet.
He wants to root the phone now, Carrier is Straight Talk.
Which of the current available Roms are working with Straight Talk and Pókemon Go? Does he need a code from Motorola to unlock the bootloader?
Is there anything else he needs additionally, like Magisk?
Looking forward to your suggestions, thanks
