Have you upgraded to lollipop historically? Or is this the First Upgrade ?

I have not been able to upgrade my XT 1039 , I suspect is due to the bootloader being unlocked . According to Motorola the Upgrade will fail if bootloader is unlocked , see here

Having an unlocked bootloader, doesn't prevent you from upgrading via OTA.

But an OTA will fail to install of you modified your system in any way, like removing bloat, installing xposed framework, etc.

I flashed stock rom Kitkat and immediately tried the OTA update ( OS left untouched ) , which starts then failed every time .

I posted about this elsewhere and was told this was likely due to the bootloader being unlocked
