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 tablets.
The new
Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update for the Moto G 2014 is currently available OTA
for owners for the 2nd Gen 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.
