5. Press the volume down button to highlight “Recovery”, and press the volume up button.
6. Hold down the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons, and press and release the Power button to enter recovery mode.
7. Select “apply update from SD Card”, and highlight the downloaded file ‘Blur_Version.210.12.40.falcon_umtsds.Brasil.en.BR.zip’. Press the Power button to update the phone to Lollipop.
(The filename of an update will include the current firmware version number. It is Motorola’s weird naming policy)
8. Wait for the phone to finish the update process and then reboot the device. It will take a while for the phone to build the system and app cache, which includes switching from Dalvik to ART.
Note: You can flash this update on any XT 1033, including the Indian version. But you will need to flash the Brazilian KitKat Firmware on your phone.
Motorola has published the release notes for the Android Lollipop update in their Indian website, but the OTA update file for the Indian Dual SIM version is not available as of yet. We will update you when it is available.
Update: An update for Android 5.0.1 has been leaked on XDA, it is a 10 mb file which should be applied once you flash the Brazilian 5.0 firmware. Download it from this page.
