thank you, would u prefer rooted over Custom firmware ?

I prefer custom firmwares.... They just have more functionality integrated and I prefer that....Though rooted with xposed and a bunch of cool modules is pretty good too

yes it will lose warranty but there's always the possibility of the service center not knowing you've rooted and unlocked bootloader if you flash back stock rom.

No way bro if u have unlocked ur bootloader u will recive ota update. After rooting ur phone it will modify system so we can't receive ota update . we have to flash stock ROM again to get ota update or wait some developers will make flashable ota update that we can flash

Rooted Moto G Successfully
Hi,
This is excellent.
I was facing problem with me Moto G KK 4.4.4 that loosing signal in both SIM card some times and delay in getting Signal. After reading this nice guide I have rooted Moto G, to see whether the problem solved or not. Currently its working fine.
I have installed greenify- Battery backup increased automatically
Will try Gravity Box
Now my question is- Will my device upgrade to Lolipop when Motorola will release it for Indian dual version phone?
Suggest few more application which will keep phone healthy...
I need the following with full version
1. Poweramp player (patch not working)
2. call recorder (record should be from both side)

[Completed] Update rooted android [HEEEELP!]

Hi there, how you doing friends? I hope fine.
Well I'm new in this so I'll try not sounds like I'm dumb. Well, last week I rooted my device an Sony Xperia Z2, I was using android 5.1.1 the last version I could update via OTA, well to make the "root" I had to downgrade to kit kat 4.4.2 or something like that, but the sameway my device was rooted I keep receiving updates via OTA, and now I'm currently using Lollipop 5.0.2 and it's still rooted and I loved, my doubt is: The update via OTA appeared again to version 5.1.1 the version I had before I did all that process, if I update from 5.0.2 rooted (my actually version) to 5.1.1 my phone will be "unrooted"?
Thanks and sorry my bad English.

According to me , it shouldnt loss root access but im not 100% sure to be frank....
And in case u take the risk and it does loss root access i think so u can use kingroot to root ur phone back again.

R you using a custom rom or stock rom?

I'm using an Stock Rom, but If I update it and lose my root access, I'll have to downgrade to Kit-Kat again, remake the root and then upgrade to 5.0.2 again, cause i can't find a rom 5.0.2 for my Device, not even here on XDA, i only found kit-kat :/
So, I rather wait till is possible to make root on 5.1.1. but thanks anyway.

Downgrading From MM to Lollipop

Hey guys .... Good Morning
I have a question for you or i want to have ur Advise on " DOWNGRADING FROM MM (JAN SECURITY UPDATES)>LOLLIPOP
Is it Possible to DO ? I have Moto G3 XT 1550 2gb/16gb... I'm Asking This question CZ i think battery backup and overall performance of Moto G3 with Lollipop was brilliant . But i have read so many thread of many user saying that they had bricked their device while downgrading from MM to Lollipop . So I'm Stopping myself to do so at this moment friends is it possible to do and what I need to do to make it happen waiting for Reply frnzz
Thnx in advance :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

I have done it.
Offcourse you can downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop. I did that 2 to 3 times, haven' faced any issues. What I want to let you know is be careful with each and every step when proceeding further.
I think you aren't rooted, so no TWRP. I have the same device, what I usually do is get the TWRP backup to an external sd card before messing up, so in case anything goes wrong you can directly roll back to the point where you started.
2 things I want you to know before starting :
1. If you are too much concerned that your device may get bricked, I think you must unlock the bootloader, root the device, flash TWRP and get a full backup and then proceed further with downgrading.
2. Usually if you are careful, you can directly downgrade without doing step 1.
Starting off
1. Download the stock firmware from this Link
2. After downloading follow this Link for flashing the Lollipop Rom.
I hope this helps.

U have done it before the security patches or after the security patches cz security patches upgraded the Bootloader and In order to downgrade i think i need to skip motoboot and gpt files am i right bro or correct me if im wrong

I never updated anything on lollipop, though it was rooted and had TWRP installed. I don't remember everything but I received the security patch updates, i tried installing but each time when the device rebooted the installation failed. (I think because of unlocked bootloader)
When Jio came up, I was having VOLTE issues on Lollipop so I wanted to update to Marshmallow but I couldn't do it over OTA update. I backed up the lollipop rom via TWRP and then manually flashed the marshmallow rom myself. Everything was good but I didn't like the vertical app drawer, so again I backed up marshmallow rom and then rolled back to lollipop rom with minutes. After some days I had to restore to marshmallow again. And after months, today I am on AOSP Extended rom based on Nougat. Excellent Rom.
So regarding you questions, I suggest you to go through the comments section of How to flash factory images page.
I already told you, if you are concerned then unlock the bootloader, root, TWRP. :good:

Sir the boot file is before the motoboot.IMG (bootloader) and gpt file
Is the boot file required to be removed as with the bootloader and gpt file.please correct me.
My name is Anshuman and I am from Rohtak ,Haryana
I have a moto g3 osprey xt1550 Indian model with viper os on it (viper os is a great ROM).Please reply as soon as possible.
Finally I tells you that you are 85% right. I tried by removing the gpt and bootloader file.

Do want to restore it to back stock 6.0.1

downgrade to 5.1.1
I downgraded to 5.1.1 using 6.1 stock reckovery for reset before flashing.
Flashed factory image without flashing gpt.bin and bootloader.img
After reboot i got a notification to completely deinstall motorola sensor-firmware in order to went back to a previous version.
Not knowing if this will brick my device, i only disabled the notification by longpressing it/ question mark/.. a screen opened where i could block this notification.
Till now i could not see battery life improvement compared to MM or N Roms

Yes you can downgrade by using stock recovery with having Motorola update notification but you can not do it with twrp recovery as it may be dangerous for your phone.I had done it successfully with stock recovery of 5.1

Sorry bro Motorola hasn't released the firmware and also it is not available on XDA also there are chance that we will receive them late but I'm not sure about that and bro first thing to relock the bootloader u need to have the same firmware on which u unlocked the Bootloader. So to relock the bootloader again u need the firmware latest with oct/jan/april security patches .

I cant seem to downgrade from 7.1.1 to Marshmallow
You gotta help me
I spent 2 days fixing this

Flashtool worked for me with the "journalist" rom to downgrade to MM F8331. I followed guide, backed up TA first, used adb/fastboot to flash Androplus v4 kernel and recovery. Androplus kernel (v4) worked for MM, then used v26 for 7.1.1 stock rom (Ger cust). Have TA_poc modified kernel now.

Also, I need a ROM with Android Oreo(8.0) or at least 7.1.1 or 7.1.2. Please help!
