Will this restore the Indian Version to stock as well?
If so can I use the all earliest firmware that you have provided or should I download one specific to my region?

A and B should work on ANY XT1068 as it's a Retail for ALL Dual sim, (it may or may not have certain languages) but if you can find your original firmware it's a easy job to add the automated script
My fone came with KXB21.85-23 installed. Noticed big battery drain. Should switch to ART instead of Dalvik?

I dont think so as you can still download OTA with modified Roms, but you need Stock recovery to install - but if it worries you edit the .bat script to remove the line with logo2.bin in it near end of script.
if we cant OTA install, but have a OTA zip of Lollipop we can modify it and just flash it via mfastboot method anyway

I don't know, I'm quite new to Motorola phones but I read in this forum more than once that for OTA updates (atleast for the lollipop one) you must have a completely stock rom, even a frozen system app would make the update fail to install.

I have run 4.4.4 versions .14 .23 and .27 on my xt1068 as well as modded xt1064 5.0 and modded xt1069 5.0.1 , so worst case is All I will be able to run is modded roms, but i'm 99.99% sure that if you have the correct OTA for you Android version on phone there will be a way to upgrade.

just a quickie as still setting up XT1068 Dual sim UK
1)flashed with a full wipe and had to force a reboot as had been stuck in bootloop for 10mins +
2) it then booted with the upgrading android 1 to 50 screen , installed and booted to setup screen
3) 1st check was dialler and it works! (sort of!) you can dial AND you have dual sim selection , no FC's as had before,
but i dialled home phone, it rang and i hung up- great I thought - until i was checking phone settings and my home phone rang again, It was my xt1068 again BUT i wasnt showing any thing on phone to say I was dialling out. WTf?!!!
Maybe It a one off as not able to repeat this - but just a little warning - you could be connected to a number with NO indication.
4) plan to set up , root , remove brazil apps , edit build.prop to xt1068 friendly and make a new TWRP backup
@noemi.abril & @reefuge pls specify which version of TWRP you used to restored?? i.e. 2.8.0.1 or ______??

How many times do OTA capturing how-to's have to be posted before people use them?

I used the No install TWRP
its 2.8.3.0. Fixed
Everything is OK
Everything works just fine
But upgrade path has problems with wifi.
Dual sim selector works fine, and data counters work fine.
what surprised me is that the old messages app, still exists and the new one Google Messenger is missing
Again, thanks for uploading
PS. It seems that it is a Brazilian rom. After factory reset, it starts with portuguese language and there is also a preintalled app "BR Apps" that says something for Brasil

Request for new download links.
Sir I am from India. Here the mega.co.nz website is not opening i tried several different ways but due to large size of the file I was unable to download. Please provide us with googledrive download link.
By now, with all the OTA's, unless you are brand new to the 2013 X, you know you have to have stock recovery on your phone for an OTA Update or Soak Test to install, and your system can't be modified too much or it will fail the pre-flash validation checks built into the OTA.zip. (i.e. there is a manifest file that checks for specific files and their check sums before it will flash the ota).
If you have an unlocked bootloader, and rooted by flashing a 3rd party recovery (like TWRP, CWM, Philz, etc) and installing SuperSU, you likely didn't put stock recovery back on your phone.
IF you are close enough to stock (like I am... stock, unlocked, rooted, with adfree, wifi tether for root, greenify, Quick boot, and a few other apps that require root), you can just flash stock recovery and take the OTA.
The steps in this post help you do that, or get ready to do that, in case you are not near your PC when an OTA comes, of if you just don't want to use your PC.
NOTE: If you have changed too much of stock that the OTA fails, please see -> [FAQ] How to prepare for and take an OTA update (All Carriers)
NOTE: the following worked when updating 4.4 to 4.4.2, and 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 on my VZW Dev Edition X. Since Lollipop has not yet been released for my phone, I can't test this yet.
Note: If you have flashed your phone with another carrier's ROM, or have only flashed "parts" of your phone, these steps may not work!! Or they may cause you to brick!
NOTE: If your Bootloader version does NOT match the one for your phone's software version, taking an OTA could brick your phone!
You must have an Unlocked Bootloader and be rooted for these steps to work:
Obtain the STOCK Moto Recovery image, and TWRP image, for your phone:
On you phone, go App Drawer -> Settings... Make note of what is listed under System Version, and Android Version.
Visit one of the sites listed in -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/info-tip-web-sites-official-leaked-roms-t2923347 and obtain the EXACT same ROM/SBF file that is currently on your phone. Download the ZIP to your PC.
Unzip or extract the RECOVERY.IMG file from the SBF ZIP file.
Download the latest TWRP Recovery from -> http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/234 (under the Download-Fastboot heading)
the latest SuperSU from -> http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu or the latest CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Flashing Recovery
Place your stock recovery.img, the latest TWRP img, and the latest SuperSU.zip in your phone's DOWNLOAD folder.
Install Rashr.
On your phone, launch Rashr.
Scroll down and select other from storage
Browse and select your stock recovery
When it completes, pick the option to reboot to stock recovery.
Your device should reboot and display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress (logo with Exclamation mark)
Press and hold the VOL UP key for 10-15 seconds. While still holding the VOL UP key tap and release the POWER key. You should be in Stock recovery now.
Reboot your phone as normal.
To reflash TWRP or other custom recovery, as long as you are still rooted, you can repeat the same steps, selecting your custom recovery in step 5.
How to SIDE LOAD an OTA.ZIP via this process
If your carrier has started the push of the OTA ZIP for your phone, but you haven't received it, and you've found the correct OTA ZIP posted online and would like to flash it, the following steps can be used...
Download the OTA ZIP file (usually named as BLUR_XXX.XXX.XXX.zip, where XXX.XXX.XXX is the build number the ZIP will update) to your phone's /SDCard
Perform steps 1-7 under Flashing Recovery above to flash STOCK recovery onto your phone, and reboot into Stock Recovery.
Use the Vol Down key to scroll to Apply Update From SDCard, and press the Power key to select.
Use Vol Down key to scroll to your OTA zip file, and press Power to select.
The install will begin by verifying the update package, then verifying files on your phone match.
If the install fails, it will be reported on the screen, along with why. (usually because you have modified system files, or are not on the correct ROM version). You need to fix these errors and try again.
If verifications are successful, the patching process steps will begin. This may take several minutes.
Your phone should report Script Succeeded and Install from sdcard Complete.
Ensure Reboot System Now is highlighted, and press the Power key to reboot the phone.
The initial reboot may take longer than a regular reboot.
Note: You will see Android Is Upgrading or Optimizing screen during the boot process, that is normal.
After the update install process is complete, use Rashr to flash TWRP (again, other from storage and pick your TWRP). When prompted, reboot into recovery (so twrp sticks). When in TWRP, select reboot to system.
If you lost root, reboot into TWRP recovery and install SuperSU.zip
How to Root with unlocked bootloader...
If you unlocked your bootload by getting the code from Moto, after taking the OTA you may root by following ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/how-to-how-to-root-5-1-unlocked-t3140217 NOTE: while the thread is titled for 5.1, it works on older Android versions as well.
Good work KidJoe :laugh::good:
I guess this will be more relevant as Soaks start heading out for the 2013 X...
Good post. Can I use the same process on MotoX 2014 pure? I have turned Moto OTA to get rid of constant "update available" notification, if I turn that back on, do you know where the OTA zip file is downloaded (i'm thinking cache )

Yes, the OTA zip is usually stored in /cache (at least is is on the 2013 X, and my past Moto phones). it is usually named for the rom it is upgrading, not what the upgrade takes you to.
I don't see why this wont work on the 2014 X, as it did on older motos too.

In TWRP you can make a nandroid backup. I've never done it. I haven't had need because I run stock. If I need to reflash, I just reflash the same SBF I've been running.
I followed the instructions in the OP to return to stock recovery, then applied the OTA update Blur_Version.213.44.1.ghost_row.Retail.en.US, but am failing with this message
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh has unexpected contents
I haven't knowingly modified any system files, although I am rooted. Any thoughts about what this error might mean and how to resolve it?

What ROM is on you phone to start with? On your phone go App Drawer -> Settings -> About.. tell me the Android Version, System Version and Build Number. Also what model X do you have?
213.44.1.ghost_row.Retail.en.US is an XT1053 4.4.4 update file for the XT1053 if I'm not mistaken. It is meant to be applied to a 4.4.3 stock rom, and it might apply to a 4.4.2 stock rom..
The OTA file will fail its pre-flash validation checks if you are not on the intended stock rom.

Thank you. I'm embarrassed that I didn't perform sufficient due diligence. I am already on the same system version as the update (213.44.1.ghost_row.Retail.en.US ), which I mistakenly thought was to get to Lollipop from 4.4.4.
there any way to make a dump the stock recovery in Lollipop, without the need root?

Yeah, OTA Update files are often named including the version the phone must be on, not the version it takes the phone to.

It's ABSOLUTELY BEST you avoid the update............but....
If you can't, it is highly recommended that you clean flash it...kind of the only choice. Flash the 4.4.4 Brazilian stock ROM. And install the update from recovery. You can reroot after adding TWRP back.
I am also on stock rom 4.4.4. But i dont have this rom on my pc for reflashing. Please provide link for download or some info related to it

As explained elsewhere... Xposed makes changes to /system which cause OTA updates to fail their pre-flash validation checks.
It is recommended to boot to TWRP and install /SDcard/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/files/Xposed-Disable-Recovery.zip then uninstall XPosed.
You will also need to undo any changes to /system or other parts the the OTA tries to validate before installing, or else it will fail.
You are correct that a newer version of Xposed is needed.
You may also want to wait on trying the 5.0.2 Leaks because if they are an early limited early test version, rather than a soak which is nearly ready to be pushed to all, you could be stuck on this version until an SBF leaks.
Update
Does anyone know how to return to stock recovery for lollipop? New update came up today but I have TWRP.
upload the stock recovery lollipop please!!!!
Good work, love your detailed explanations always .
Strangely in the initial update prompt (which I don't have a screenshot of unfortunately, so if someone has an XT1092 and can corroborate it would be much appreciated) it says Android 6.0.1 and not security update, but the Android version remains at 6.0 and by all accounts remains 6.0. The new emoji aren't supported either. Back in Lollipop I also got an update that says Android 5.0.2 but the version stayed at 5.0 after the update. Anyways, this update is 15MB and takes around 20 minutes to install, contrary to what Motorola says.
Also, really Motorola? MAY?! I'd be expecting you to roll out the QuadRooter (August/September) patch by now.

I think these official updates fail if you are rooted.... but if it succeeds i don't know if you retain root.
Again the RetGB variant being overlooked apparently. Spanish version got it and British version nothing...
Do anyone have some changelog for this security update? Does it fix Bluetooth issues (sometimes not routing audio via BT when connected to Nokia car kit)?

Strangely in the initial update prompt (which I don't have a screenshot of unfortunately, so if someone has an XT1092 and can corroborate it would be much appreciated) it says Android 6.0.1 and not security update, but the Android version remains at 6.0 and by all accounts remains 6.0.

I was surprised and exited that there was an update to 6.0.1 for my XT1092, which would fix the bluetooth BLE issue. No screenshot unfortunately, but I clearly remember it stating "6.0.1", not just a security upgrade.
I've contacted Motorola UK support though their email (sic) contact form with below message:
Hello
This weekend I got a prompt on my phone (model XT1092) to upgrade to android 6.0.1.
I was happy about this upgrade because it solves a bug that prevented me from using bluetooth tracking devices [1].
However, after the upgrade the android version mentioned in the phone settings is still 6.0 and not "6.0.1" as expected. The only change I notice is that the "security patch" level is now May 1 2016.
Please confirm which version is actually is and/or if the specific bluetooth low-energy fix mentioned in link [1] is included.
Thanks

[1] URL can't link to in this forum, but search for "tileapp 6.0.1" in google
No OTA when rooted.
My MOTOX is rooted and has TWRP, so no OTA possible.
Any chance of this upgrade being downloadable somewhere alreadY?

I can confirm that notification says "New version: 24.201.3.en.EU" and "Android 6.0.1, Marshmallow".
OK, in OP there is a screenshot with 6.0 still. So no go for BT patch I think...
Screenshot Android 6.0.1 promt
They instead labeled this as the 6.0.1 update.
I tried to inform Motorola (lenovo) about it but it seems that it didn't came through, it was pretty hilarious:
Initial mail:
Subject: Software update labeled wrong
Dear Motorola,
This morning I received an software update saying that it would update my phone to Android 6.0.1 . This was not the case, it was merely the may security update (those are important to, don't get me wrong).
Response:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Motorola.
It is an official update form the Motorola end.So please update your device.
Me:
I did perform the update on my device, that was not my question/problem.
I meant to say that the update said it was 6.0.1 but it isn't. It updates the device to a new security patch, not form 6.0 to 6.0.1. This was probably not the intention (to say that it would update to 6.0.1) and I tried to attend you on this mistake.
Second response:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Motorola.
After updating the security patch update you will receive the official update of 6.0.1
And then I gave up on the matter, it would have been pointless to go on.

Yeah, Motorola might just as well be Chinese now.
maybe this helps someone
I got this OTA update although I had root and TWRP. But to do a successful update I had to fully unroot in SuperSU and flash the stock recovery.img and the stock boot.img.
But before unrooting I copied the automatically downloaded update file from the /cache directory to my normal download directory, so I could reach it from the stock recovery menu. Therefore you need a root file explorer.
I than flashed the OTA update manually from the stock recovery using this instructions from reddit (but had to also flash boot.img as mentioned before):
4. Reboot into the bootloader, and then reflash stock recovery (download mentioned in step 1) with the command
"fastboot flash recovery 6.0_recovery.img"
5. Then reboot into recovery. From here, it will say "no command". Hold the power button and press the volume up key, then select apply patch from SD and choose the OTA you put on your internal memory. If all your system files are stock then this should run smoothly, if not, you might get a status error 7 and it will tell you which files are not stock. If you can, try to change them, but otherwise, you would need to download the stock files for 6.0 (you can also get them on the same link I suggested to get the stock recovery in step 1) and reflash everything to stock

After updating and checking that everything is fine I rooted again with TRWP, SuperSU-beta and this "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu" command.
As I cannot post links, you find the original instruction I used when you click on the first link after you googled "How To Root Moto G4 on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow androidcustomrom1"
The normal SuperSu without this SYSTEMLESS command did not work in my case.
Hope I could help somebody

As I'm new to this forum I cannot post links directly:
amazon.
de/clouddrive/share/dGQUmD6a5DvQrxlmSocfHr0Pm2XgIS9gBZ9b6lZAlla
(if the link is not working, you have to add https and www)
The file is called Blur_Version.24.11.18.victara_retde.retdeall.en.DE.zip so I think It's made for an update from 24.11.18 to 24.201.3

May you tell the name of the post after searching "How To Root Moto G4 on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow androidcustomrom1" ?
or some clues,
smthg plz ?
I suppose this is for rooting again
I'm looking for the stock recovery.img and the stock boot.img.
May you tell what to search to obtain them plz ?
Thx
You can find the recovery.img and boot.img in any stock firmware.
I used one from this site because it had the same version as mine:
androidsage.com/2016/02/09/install-official-marshmallow-ota-for-moto-x-android-6-0-ota-capture/
When you google for "blur_version.24.11.18" (or the version you need) you will find a lot of firmwares to download.
You are right, the other post is just for rooting again, after you updated
OK, thx :good:
Don't know why it took so long for you guys in Europe, but here in Brazil we've been using the may security patch since, errr... may! Hahahaha

Official site does not have fastboot ROM, those zips are meant to be flashed via stock recovery.

Is there a technical reason why you can rollback to the last month's ROM from the Asus website with the stock recovery? Has the filesystem changed or something?

-- Flash stock recovery
-- Put downloaded zip file into external SD
-- Boot into stock recovery
-- Apply update from external storage and locate file
-- done

Dear simply visit any Asus service center they will downgrade it to Oreo, I visited today, and one interesting thing is they don't have any stable update for now . Soon a newer fota update will release.

First flash twrp then wipe everything except sd card and then flash stock recovery and try again
I posted here about the issues I had. I know that at first the problem is the old firmware can't be installed over newer firmware, when I fix that problem the zip package is no longer signed correctly.
Please could you explain why the method you suggest will work.
Yes it's work i done with 2 max pro m2

In case of system update failure the zip file you are trying to flash will be corrupted. (Happened with me many times as i renamed the oreo stock rom to above the build number of the pie update so my phone would treat the downloaded oreo rom to be new .but during the system update after reaching aroung 25 % it displayed an error and the next thing i remember is the zip file getting corrupted) so always keep a backup!
On 25th of april new pie update was released which fixed screen blinking issue.
