Haven't recieved Kitkat? Read this!

1. The Kitkat update is rolling out now across Europe.
2. Not everybody gets it at the same time, that's how it works.
3. No you can't see when you are going to get it.
4. No you can't do something, so it comes out faster
5. There isn't any OTA download links for retail units.
6. If you want OTA download links for branded units, SEARCH.
7. Show some patience.
Now go watch this, because this is clearly needed in here, with a lot of new XDA / android users:

The aim of this thread was to stop people asking the same questions over and over and to get them to use search. And to stop them posting things over and over.
It doesn't need cluttering up just because there may be a link to a download.
Have you seen the amount of duplicate posts and answers in the moto g forums due to lazy people not searching.

Yes i have and your post will not change this, some users don`t even read the last page of a thread. They post a question cause sometimes they`re too lazy or don`t want to spend time to look for an answer themselves

But if this thread had JUST the OP, then people *may* have read it and watched the video. As soon as it was cluttered with the second post they won't bother reading the first as you say.

I live in Mexico City and just received the OTA update, so I guess is safe to say the global version is getting updated now

I'm from México too, and I have press the upgrade option to download the actualization. My phone it's already upgrade at least.

actually you can do something, even without rooting your phone
-download the 4.4.2 update
-copy the archive onto your sd card (not in any subfolders)
-restart your phone and wait a moment
-a popup message will appear that there is a update available -> press copy
-then your phone will ask you, if you want to install the update, if not go to settings/about phone/system updates
-install the update
this worked for me and my german moto g

Well I will attempt to but I expect the same issues that we are having with F400S lollipop update. We haven't been able to get a port going yet

Would it be better to wait for a flashable ROM as if we do an OTA update we might not be able to get root back for a while... (different boot loader)?

exciting
I am excited. Of course I'm in Australia so thr chances of it rolling out to me in a hurry is slim, but as with all things phone related its a matter of time. This just means that LG is keen to keep some marketshare goodwill. It also means that it will be sooner rather than later that the awesome devs in XDA take it and bake it better.

So next rom would be based on 5.0?

Since Poland users gave d855, would any d855 user be able to flash manually, given access to appropriate files? If yes, would it then be able to be put into a custom rom accessible to all (similar to how CloudyG3 allows me, a d850 user, to run 10n (which alone would be unflashable, if i am not mistaken))?

In theory yes. However im not flashing until a custom ROM is made. Root i can just about live without (I guess the kernel will need bumping).

I am from poland... Yesterday i got ota information about update but i dont know what update it was because i am on AndroidNow hd 2.4 and have bump! So i disable ota because i am afraid i will stock in recovery... Is a way to go back all to stock to take this ota? And if i get this the bump! And root toll may not work?

you can download ota and if it tells you it's 5.0 you can provide us the zip without flashing it
edit: aaaaand for you all to know you can't port it to other devices without proper kernel... different carriers have different partitions and kernels are built differently for each version thats why we can't port the f400s to d855 even if was able to boot the kernel it goes panic because of the incorrect partitions and configurations.. we need sources

Hey, Honor 5X (KIW L24) Gets the Mashmellow Update in the US

Starting today, we are pleased to begin rolling out the highly anticipated Marshmallow update in the US. As part of this update, Honor 5X will also be receiving EMUI 4.0.

Is there anyway to force update it? Update is not showing up when I manually check in settings.
Super pumped to take marshmallow for a spin

I haven't been able to update either... I guess we just have to wait.

Update does not appear here too!

More: http://www.hihonor.com/us/blogs/honor-5x-gets-the-marshmallow-update/130547/

Forced update dial code *#*#2846579158#*#* does not work, fyi...

Between here, Honors' .com site and their US Facebook,
I don't see a Single user reporting the update.
Edit: I see one on Facebook, lol

If anyone gets the update or finds a download link please post here.

In the Facebook thread there's a guy named Mario who got it. The only confirmed one to get it so far if you guys want to try and teach him how to capture the OTA.

Will the update boot on a custom recovery?

I think you will end up stuck at boot logo. You'll probably want to return to stock first.
Has anyone received this update yet? Seems like a unicorn.

Hopefully someone will make a twrp flasheable zip right away. If not I will try by flashing stock recovery and see what happens. ?

ok champ before you get all wired,
1. I know the phone does not come with an NFC chip in it.
2. I know this thread is for the MM update that Honor USA is lying about releasing.
3. I have already search about this in other threads, obviously to no avail.
4. Do you have input/ or are looking to bust somebodies chops on the internet.

Defensive much?
Let me answer your question about the NFC Sim, probably not. Probably not for all the tea in China. And this thread is about capturing the MM update which did come out because people on FB are confirming they got it.

user on XDA got the update through hisuite >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/guide-kiw-l24-to-stock-t3318268/page10

Maybe, the person who got it through HiSuite, can check the app data folder on Windows to see if the update is still there. (it's a hidden folder)

Not sure if you know about it, but your phone is basically showpiece from showrooms or shops, that's the X in your version number. This kind of phones are not intended to be sold for customers.
You will never got more updates as you already have, so your only option is to flash it manually.
Bootloop problem is not dependant on software version. It doesn't matter if you have 5.1 or 6.0.

Do you have an accurate source to backup your wild claims?
My EU (UK) H815 v20d-EUR-XX is currently downloading the update.
No need for a manual flash and my device certainly was not a store demo model.

Hello,
My G4 is unlocked and ROOTED and the update is available and in downloading atm.
There are something I should to know about the fact that my smartphone ROOTED evening before applying the update?
Could this affect my G4?

Sure,
We are not talking about the same thing.
Look again, and maybe twice at his version number: It's is VX10c-EUR-XX
I'm not talking about XX, but about the first "X"... see?
Sure, your device is the same as mine v20d-EUR-XX which is a retail model, but this is not the case for VX10C-EUR-XX which is unfortunately a demo model

Ok, finally, it seems that I can't update automatically with a G4 ROOTED.

Then boot directly on TWRP... (>_<)

Off you can't. You have another recovery. Use LG UP and flash it. Easier can't be. Note you will lose root and the recovery.

Go to thread about the Portugal update and download the KDZ from there. Any link from that thread is the international H815 update. Don't worry about countries and shenanigans is the same firmware for all. V20g-EUR-XX. Install LG UP on your PC. First the DLL then the program. Place the KDZ in your LG UP install directory (Crogram Files (x86)/LG Electronics/LGUP/model/8994). Put your phone in download mode. (With phone turned off press Volume UP and with it press plug in the USB cable). Click refurbished option for a complete wipe and clean flash. Before all this make a backup. You can also select upgrade option to avoid wipe but I always recommend a clean flash. Read the according threads in XDA for further information if you need.

It seems the h818p will not be updated(yet)?

@src151 thanks for the info. I didn't knew that demo phones can have the GSM module. At least I got it at a very good price
I will upgrade manually then.

UPDATE: Axon 7 A2017U Build 27

According to this post on the ZTE forums, the OTA should be available in 24-72 hours for the US variant.

"adb logcat" on a computer while checking for the update on the phone. It will always list the update URL. It's a pretty big patch -- 376 MB. Boot and recovery are modified but no separate fastboot. So either that's been added into the normal partition commands, or it's still going to be an OTA to enable bootloader unlocking.

Can't wait to hear from the brave souls who update first have to say. I'm goign to keep my root/twrp for now

"B27" Downloaded and installed. Not all of what everyone/most where asking for, but substantial enough to make a believer out of me. Security patch level at September 1, 'Backup account' no longer greyed out, tweeked signal strength indicator, audio no longer drops out when starting camera and probably a host of other tweeks under the hood.

No announcement about stock images, not good.

I have OTA

Strangely enough, I have dropbox installed after the update.
Unless I butt installed it just before (I do not use dropbox).

I'm fairly sure that the last update for the EU model installed an app as well (though not Dropbox).

How do we make a twrp flashbacks zip out of this that won't take away twrp?

Anyone that rooted without unlocking the bootloader tried this update?

I'm currently on stock B20, locked and unrooted.
I posted the same in @DrakenFX's thread, but I'm happy to try out whatever folks think would be best:
1.) Unlock via the thread instructions and then update to B27
2.) Update to B27, then try to unlock via the thread instructions
3.) Other?
