Android 5.0.2 Lollipop Update Starts To Moto G 2014 Users

Android 5.0.2 Lollipop Update Starts Seeding To Moto G 2014 Users In US

The Moto G 2014 was the first smartphone to receive the Android 5.0 Lollipop update last year, even before Google released the update for its Nexus line of smartphones and tablets. Motorola has now set the standard for other Android OEMs once again by being the first to roll out the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update for its Moto G 2014 smartphone. The 5.0.2 Lollipop update has so far been rolled out only for the Google Nexus 7 2012 Wi-Fi only tablet.

The new Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update for the Moto G 2014 is currently available OTA for owners for the 2ndGen Moto G in US. The update comes with software version 22.21.28 and brings bug-fixes and improvements. An official changelog hasn’t been spotted yet, so we can’t tell you yet if there are any new features that have been included with this new update for the Moto G 2014 model. Since the update has just begun rolling out for users, not every one of you can expect to see the update notification just yet. However, you can still check if the update is available for your device manually by going to Settings – About Phone – System Update. In case the update is available, you will need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network before you can download the update.

The OTA update is 39MB in size and can be installed on your device right away if you have rooted it and have a custom recovery installed. To get the firmware running on your 2nd Gen Moto G, you will need to download the ROM from this link for the Moto G XT1063 model. Do not install the firmware on any other model of Moto G as the modem firmware differs for each model. Once you have downloaded the firmware, transfer the 22.21.28 firmware ZIP file to the internal storage of your Moto G and boot into recovery. In recovery, wipe the cache, data, system and dalvik cache. Once you have wiped all, return to the main recovery menu and tap on ‘Install zip from SD card’. Now choose the downloaded ZIP file and flash it to install the firmware on your Moto G 2014. Once the flashing process is complete, reboot your device. When the device boots up, you should have the latest 22.21.28 Android 5.0.2 firmware running.
