Android 5.0.1 Lollipop For Moto G GPE: Download Now For Manual Update [VIDEO]

Google has begun delivering its latest Android 5.0.1 Lollipop over-the-air (OTA), but not all phones are receiving the highly anticipated update at the same time. Now, Moto G GPE (Google Play Edition) users can simply download Android 5.0.1 manually and enjoy the update as soon as possible.

We've provided a download link below as well as a step-by-step instruction on how to perform the manual installation. That said, be sure that your own a Moto G Google Play Edition device that is running the latest stock Android 4.4.4 Kit Kat firmware with build number KTU84P. The Android 5.0.1 update may fail if the device does not meet the prerequisite.

Finally, before you perform the installation, be sure to back up important data before proceeding. Make sure the phone is also holding more than a 60 percent charge.
