2013 Lollipop Megathread (When am I getting Lollipop?)

Post Body

I am creating this post in order to stop the flow of "When do I get Lollipop?" posts. I am going to add hopefully everything we know about its arrival and try to answer any questions in comments. Note: I do not work for Motorola, I'm just in the community.

What we know:

  • It will be 5.0.2, avoiding some bugs from earlier releases.

  • 2013 will get all new 2014 features except for hardware-limited things such as infrared sensors.

  • You need this app in order to get a notification for the 5.0 update. This is not an installer, quit complaining that you didn't get the update because you got this app from somewhere on the internet, this only enables the auto-update notification. Even without this app, you will still be able to get the update via Settings > System Update > Update Motorola software.

  • Testing has begun on the new Material Moto Apps (they have been leaked), but it appears that Moto Voice is broken. You have been warned. APK mirrors 404. If anybody has another download link for this, I will add it.

  • The 2013 Moto G has received Lollipop, so the X update is Coming SoonTM .

Official G posts:

  • This one from January 12 says "really soon" and "Updates of this nature take time." because of bugs etc.

  • Official comments from that post have been summarized by /u/andthatswhyyoualways.

Miscellaneous:

  • CyanogenMod12 (Lollipop) is available here officially or unofficially. Keep in mind you need an unlocked bootloader and you'll lose all special Motorola features until you come back to stock.

  • If you're rooted, make sure to flash stock before you update. Instructions are available but links to the files on droid-developers are dead. Stock firmware for GSM and VZW dev editions can be found on Moto's site and all but Sprint and EU can be found on this site.

  • I have FOUND an XT1056 stock image and magnet link is below and here for direct download. Any help with finding EU images would be appreciated.

TL;DR: "really soon" but not yet.

Edit March 19: Soak test has begun and Motorola Update Services is available in the Play Store!
