Dear!
I use XT 1681 more than 1 year. It was updated automatically up to patch from 1 june 2018 (...137....14). Patch downloaded many many times but after reboot I have error of updating (android symbol with "!") and rollback. I reset settings to factory - not results. How I can fix it? Thank you!
I still have this problem. Any solutions? Thank you!

Asking the obvious: Have you ever been rooted? Custom recovery installed?
Which region?

My region Russia. Phone was full reseted to factory. Phone not rooted
I fixed this bug! Problem was in standard flashing for XT 1681-1683. Lenovo produced other flashing for Brazil from 1/11/18. I found this update and flashed my phone with adb. I not understand: why Lenovo not changed rom for my phone from air? Why I must to search solution three months? It very bad practice for Lenovo! Motorola was serviced customers many better!

Hi all. I am getting my new Moto G today (XT1068) and want to have lolipop but also need root. I was wondering how I would do this? Also if I do manage to get root while on 5.0.1 can I use OTA to 5.0.2 or would I need to un-root first? I am new to rooting so I'd like the easiest way possible, thanks for your time!
Hello,
I'd like to say hello to everyone and BIG thanks for the community as a whole. This place is pure awesomeness.
I've got similiar question to OP. Got the retaildsdsall xt1068, haven't unlocked or rooted before and I'm currently on 5.0.2, 22.21.28.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03 reteu
I've been on retaildsdsall and upgraded using to newly captured OTA zip from SOAK for the xt1068, by copying it to the root of sd and upgrading using normal ota updater.
Everything went fine!
My question is, what is the most reliable way to root my device?
Is there any possibility to root without having to unlock? Will Chainfire's autoroot[dot]chainfire[dot]eu work for me? I read that there is a version which is ok for Lollipop, updated by Chainfire, but I can't seem to find it or confirm that it'll work.
Please shed some light on to that. Any experiences?
Hi @Reizoko & @Silent_Infiltrator
1. You have to unlock Bootloader to Root.
2. Install TWRP Recovery
3. Download and Flash latest BETA of SuperSU v2.44
Thats all
Note: You can't use OTA to update while rooted. You have to do a full unroot.

Right, seems easy enough. I guess I'll wait with stock unrooted until a bug-free version of 5.0 is out, will be good to make sure phone is all right aswell...

Well, the Brazil Soak Test version of Lollipop is really smooth and Bug Free, the Indian version.. Not so much! If you want to try Lollipop, I would recommend the Brazil Soak Test.
Hey
Just wanted to give quick heads-up on to the matter of rooting 5.0.2. Thanks for the tips, I did it as follows:
1. Got my European Moto G xt1068 (dual-sim version) updated to 5.0.2 using captured OTA zip here.
2. Unlocked my bootloader by following official Motorola guide.
3. Downloaded newest TWRP 2.8.4.0 from Original Development.
4. Used Fastboot to only boot TWRP by executing: fastboot boot twrp.img
5. Flashed newest SuperSU 2.44.
6. Enjoying root.
Thanks!

Why the hell are you telling him to install a xt1069 over xt1068? Tell me onde thing, but are you on drugs or dont have a clue about you are talking about? Never, but never install a version that is not designed for your phone version. Before you post such thing, please do some research or dont say anything.

Krishna is not wrong as the XT1068 and 69 are pretty much the same. Only difference is the modems and radios I believe.

So they are different... Custom ROMs can work on both, but not original ROMs.

I speak out of experience. I installed the XT1069 Lolipop 5.0,5.0.1 and no probs at all. I followed the methods posted in this forum.
I was not giving a vague advice.

Hello
Today the Moto G 2014 (XT1064) for Nextel (now AT&T) Mexico, received the long-awaited Marshmallow 6.0 OTA update. So far, it's running well, and the upgrade process goes from 30-45 minutes, depending your installed apps.
I have captured the OTA, in case you need it or you haven't received it yet. I also have successfully tested it by sideload, so it's the real thing: v24.41.34 for NIIMX, though, should work on any LATAM carrier.
Hope some of you find it useful. File's here.
Enjoy!
Hello
Thank you very much friend.
You comets that works for any carrier , right?

Since it's an OTA you need to be unrooted, in case you are. You need to sideload it via ADB on stock recovery (method 2 on guide).
So I found in this forum like two months ago a method to root my phone without flashing a custom recovery (I can't leave the link due to my new account "[GUIDE][HOW-TO] Root Moto G 2014 WITHOUT flash a custom recovery"). In fact, my device is rooted and has its stock recovery. My question would be, should I use method 2 without unrooting my phone first? I'm asking you because I could easily try method 2 while being rooted but I fear that some error might come in.
By the way, If anyone wants another OTA.zip I have downloaded the official OTA I got for my unlock device. Blur_Version.22.56.3.titan_retmx.retmx.en.MX. Just send me a message.
Thank you.

Firmwares with the ending 92-x are for India and Brazil, ending on 93-x for Europe, US and Asia Pacific.
For Europe/US the latest firmware is 93-10 (April security patch).
The latest one I found uploaded is 93-4. The same for India, 92-4 is uploaded.

Maybe that's why my device got screwed? Because I flashed EU firmware 93-4 on an Indian Variant? I think NOT

A lot of people did. Maybe that's causing problems, I only know that you can't receive OTA's anymore.
The devices should work as expected but what happens if you flash a custom ROM and go back to stock (maybe another build?)I don't know but it's possible that all this voLTE and IMEI losing stuff is related to it.

That's what happens when there's multiple variants of the same phone and no one properly labels the firmware or provides specifications. I've done it, got back to stock with a locked bootloader and recovered IMEI. OTA updates installed with no issues but left with stuck with IMEI 0 again. Anyone in this situation who failed to make an initial backup with EFS or lost that backup is screwed. At this point you're best option is to stick with a stable Oreo ROM. We're getting better support from devs while Lenovo leaves us in the dark.

Tried numerous times and mine will not update from -13 to -17. Sees the update but fails on the installation. Have done hard reset to see if an app was causing the problem. Stops with dead android and "ERROR" in red.

Ended up flashing updated stock rom with Oct security patch. Don't know why the -13 OTA would not update.
Has the OTA 28.85-17 full ROM (not the TWRP version) leaked yet?

I'm having network issue on my Moto G5 Plus. Sometimes there is network and sometimes there is no network. Even when there is network, data service is not working. When there is network sometimes I can make or receive calls but sometimes I can't. A service centre representative said that it might be a software issue. If that's so, is there any fix for this problem? or is it a hardware problem?

You're giving absolutely no information.
Firmware version? Android version? Stock or custom ROM? Unlocked BL or not? Rooted and if yes how (which magisk version?)
Without information nobody is able to help you.

In this case the only option would be reflashing your firmware (you didn't post your version, if you took all OTA updates it should be 8.1.0_OPS28.85-17-6-2).
If that doesn't help it is most probably a hardware issue.

The service centre guy did flash firmware however, it didn't solve the issue. He said, then, it's a hardware issue. Tried changing network IC but it didn't work either. The problem was that even after reflashing firmware, LTE network was available but it was not working, like no calls or internet. After changing network IC there was no LTE network at all.
