Just download the respective firmware and flash it via Flashtool.
You won't lose the drm keys.

1. So no problem if 4.4.4 (.93) is rooted?
2. If it's OK. Any chance to root Lollipop like i rooted
.93? (Giefroot method)
Thanks
No you can't root 5.0.2 with that method.
If you want to retain root, the only way is to flash pre-rooted zip via NUT's dual recovery.
I must unlock the bootloader to do that?
No you do not.
But you must ask questions in the question and answer section.

Hey guys,
I have the Moto G and i unlocked te bootloader, did an custom recovery and rooted the device and i had a custom rom. But i got back to stock with this GUIDE and i got no rooted device and no custom recovery but i still have the unlocked bootloader, i also have a other stock image of the moto then normally! (I have the 210.12.32.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US version) and i need the global gsm version xt1032 if i am right. But my question is, can i get ota updates now? because i want android L!
Thanks already.

Sorry for bad english
Your warranty is just invalid but you'll be able to perform an ota update. If you have doubts flash a stock 4.4.2 firmware and update it via ota, I'm sure you'll be able to do it. You'll enjoy Andoid L, don't worry

Having an unlocked bootloader has no adverse effect on the ability to update via OTA. You can even be rooted, although, you will more than likely lose root upon updating, which shouldn't be too difficult to get back. The only things that would affect updating via OTA is if you have a custom recovery, or if you've modified/deleted any system files/apps.

I think that the best solution is to flash stock images, see Development forum to keep the istructions
does that mean it will lock the bootloader and also let me do the official lollipop update????
if yes then please give the links....
You don't need to lock the bootloader, just flash the stock image and you will get the OTA (when it is available).
can you please please please send me the links to flash stock images..
if i just unroot the device using the unroot option in super su...........................will i receive the lollipop update OTA.(keeping the bootloader unlocked)
no matter ur bootloader is locked or unlocked YOU WILL receive OTAs from motorola do not worry about that
since you have an indian xt1033 ( same as mine ) and if you are curious to get OFFICIAL LOLLIPOP update
you can try the following guide all you need is a UNLOCKED bootloader to do this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/install-brazil-5-0-ota-xt1033-t2963800
all the best !
PS: I am currently running on this OTA there is NO bugs , lags or any sort of probs ( both sims are working fine )

You can use anything for a locked bootloader on an unlocked bootlader
Hi
I want to unlock my bootloader and root my M2. So i should do that in this order?
1. Downgrade to 4.4.4 from 5.1.1
2. Unlock the bootloader
3. Update of bootloader (?)
4. Flash 5.1.1
5. Root 5.1.
Is that right or i should do something more or less?
You don't need to unlock the bootloader just for root. If your gonna downgrade to KK just flash a pre-rooted zip via recovery on rooted KK
But i want 5.1.1 with root so if i downgrade and root i will not be able to update to 5.1.1 (cause when you have root - you can make update and if you flash the newest firmware root will disappear).
I thought that downgrade is necessary for unlocking bootloader thats why i mentioned about downgrade.
I just want to have rooted 5.1.1 because i need to delete lot of garbages from the apps and other personalisations.
So flash a pre-rooted 5.1 zip via recovery on rooted KK(this is what I've done to get rooted 18.6.A.0.182 5.1on LB ). Or update to 18.6.A.0.182 then use the dodgy kingroot app to root then change kinguser to supersu. Unless you want to use cm or omni custom roms it's pointless unlocking the bootloader when root is available on locked bootloader
I think this thread about PhilZ recovery is perfect for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/development/d2303-philz-touch-recovery-6-t3047492
Thank you for help!
Yes it's a good working recovery. Used to use it myself
Hi,
I´m on 6.0 rooted with TWRP and would like to update to Nougat without setting up my phone from scratch.
Does this work?:
Flash Stock Bootloader. (Does it have to be the exact same one from the Stock rom version i have?)
Unroot with Supersu
Receive Ota Updates?
Or how would you do it?
Thanks in advance

Hi mate
I am assuming you have a root stock firmware....
Check this thread , it explains how to update stock firmware without losing anything..... BUT you will have to install TWRP and root afterwards
