Lollipop Update for 1st Gen Moto X

[Robbie13]

Will there ever be an update to Lollipop on the Moto X 1st Generation? If so, are there any official release dates for Lollipop on the 1st Gen Moto X?

MOTO X

This device will be upgraded to the Android 5 Lollipop release of Android, pending partner support.

[Robbie13]

What does "pending partner support" mean though?

[Snn5]

It means, "As soon as Verizon clears it for Verizon's network."  That's the basic idea.

[Robbie13]

So essentially Verizon has to give the "Ok" before any update happens. I see, thanks! Snn5

Well, most Google-Manufacturer-Carrier relationships are 3 part relationships.  This one is almost all inclusive since Google was handling Motorola at one time and Verizon was selling exclusive Motorola devices at one time.  (still do)

There is a small update http://www.droid-life.com/2015/05/29/verizons-moto-x-1st-gen-has-a-soak-test-incoming-lollipop/ available now. While not Lollipop, it might be an update that paves the way for the full update later when it is finally released.
