Hi all
Ive been searching but cant find a definitive guide on hiw to get ota updates to work with my opo. I currently have the 25R version installed. Do i need to revert back to 22R and the do incrementals from then?
Are you saying that the update feature in Settings/About Phone isn't working?

Hi timmaaa yes exactly. It says up to date but obviously its not.
You're gonna have to update manually then.

Do you have the US Retail version XT1527?
I'm interested to know whether this works on other moto e lte variants.
I updated the fxz to exclude the bootloader to prevent any potential bricks; so anyone with an unlocked bootloader can flash this and still be able to flash back to any 5.0.2 build without any issues.
Just be sure to have the fxz for your device standing by before trying.
Also renamed the other files, adding the prefix "surnia" to the title to avoid any potential confusion...

my version is XT1524, europe retail LTE
Fastboot file now includes only logo, boot, and system.
Radio and bootloader can be installed using separate flashable zips.
It is recommended to flash radio and bootloader only on devices for which they were intended; logo, boot, and system are safe to flash on any unlocked hardware.
best rom is this stock 5.1 so far, more fluide and battery life
i like stock kernel, cpu is more able to stay at low frequencies, phone more able to stay cool.in CM/aosp it's not the case
Sadly, this phone doesn't have much development, but this is what I've been looking for, I think.
What I understand is that this works like any ROM, right? I can have a backup of my current ROM and flash this and if anything goes wrong I restore and that's it? This doesn't mess with the radio, recovery nor bootloader, so it doesn't matter that my phone is a Retla one with CID 12, as the ROM doesn't mess with that. I make several questions as I bricked my last phone by trying to flash 5.1 firmware with the bootloader unlocked, so I want to be careful. After all, if something goes really wrong, I'll always be able to flash stock firmware.
This is the best ROM I've used (XT1527) so far. I had to wipe the data and let google restore most of my apps to stop Gapps crashes, but it was worth it. I didn't install the radio, bootloader, or recovery zips and am having no problems at all. Re-rooting was easy and Xposed and its modules are working well. All the minor problems I had with AOSP are gone. This is my daily driver.

What's your phone model? What do you mean, when you say you let Google restore your apps?
My phone is the Moto E 2015 LTE Retail US (XT1527). I'm using the google backup/reset in settings and it appears that it backs up non-system apps and restores them on installation if you let it. The associated passwords with the apps, however, had to be re-entered manually. What is restored is:
Google Calendar settings
Wi-Fi networks & passwords
Home screen wallpapers
Gmail settings
Apps installed through Google Play (backed up on the Play Store app)
Display settings (Brightness & Sleep)
Language & Input settings
Date & Time
Third-party app settings & data (varies by app)
Will this work for the xt1511 variant? I have it unlocked, but i'm having trouble getting a custom recovery on it to begin with, and it's not receiving and OTA to 5.1 which is annoying me.

It's highly unlikely it will work and I wouldn't recommend trying it.
But if you're determined, make sure one of these works first so you can recover if necessary:
http://motofirmware.center/files/category/45-moto-e-2nd-generation/
Then flash only the main fastboot zip from the op which includes logo, boot, and system; do NOT flash bootloader, radio, or recovery zips.
on boost mobile version xt1526. flashed the main file but could not get data to work and the boost mobile file from the motofirmware page fails to install on twrp
Retail Fastboot from Carrier
Hi, I'd like to know if by getting this fastboot, being Retail and overriding what's currently installed (Carrier's) it would allow me to carrier unlocking it? Also; if I get this; would my updates come directly from Motorola instead of having to be approved and released by my carrier?
I do have a XT1527 that came directly from my carrier.
Thanks in advanced.

This fastboot requires an unlocked bootloader, and the carrier versions don't have unlockable bootloaders afaik.
Even if you are able to unlock your bootloader, flashing this fastboot will not remove carrier lock if it is present.
Ota is determined by sim, even on the retail version, afaik.
Works well on xt1524 eu.
So far the best voice quality, and the most stable firmware.
Just a heads up, I will be removing the op and the files soon.

At&T/Cricket,verizon doesn't allow bootloader to be unlocked, which is really sad and there should be a law passed that prohibits them from doing that. Us consumers that pay good money for these phones should not have to be locked or prevented from doing what we want with them. I don't understand why it hasn't been illegal yet.
The sprint,Boost, and consumer cellular Models should have unlockable bootloaders and the Moto dev site should provide the codes
Hi. Could anyone point me at a working download link for this stock retail rom? OTA for 5.1 isn't yet available in Spain (xt1524) but i can't seem to find any copy of the ROM around XDA or anywhere else...I Know Q9Nap deleted it, but i hope someone uploaded it somewhere else.
Thanks

Hey Mates!
I've been looking for a solution but cant find any helpful advices.
I have rooted my Motorola G; 2 days ago, no problem. As soon as I rebooted it, it wont boot.
these are the errors that occur when I try to boot it
-hab check failed for boot
-failed to verify hab image boot
-failed to validate boot image
Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode
When I try to go to recovery, it says "no command".
It also says that my device is locked.
Meanwhile I've connected it with my PC and I tried to run the desktop version, but no changes so far.
I'd really need your help
Have you tried to reflash the stock kernel?

No I did not. Do you recommend it?
This "how to" is for Samsung Galaxy, I know, but I guess it would be a similiar way to reflash the stock kernel of the Moto G?
Thanks in advance.

How do you rooted?

It seems like the link between your pc and phone was lost during data transfer. Ensure to have the link between the mobile and pc secured. Try replacing the drivers and the usb cable with a good quality one. Loose connections can also cause this type of problem. Something similar happened to me too...
After above flash factory firmware to revive your device first. You can root it subsequently.
You can get all the information in the forum under the Factory Firmware thread. Be careful to download the firmware compatible for your mobile model only.

When I rooted my phone I never connected it with my Moto G; after I couldnt boot it, I tried if it would work somehow. I rooted my device with RootKing which was an app on my device.

It is not clear if your phone's bootloader has been unlocked or not. Rooting apps have been known to create issues with Moto G3. I tried to root my phone (which has its bootloader unlocked) with the Kingroot app. Although I could succeed and boot the device, the signals vanished. Hence I adapted the traditional way of rooting using the fastboot mode.
If you have still issues of not being able to boot your phone, then please flash stock firmware available in Factory Firmware thread of this forum (you can flash even though your bootloader is unlocked) as per details given there in. You can root your phone later. If you have an unlocked bootloader, there are other posts to guide you how to ulock the bootloader first. Please note you cannot modify software if your bootloader is locked.
Hello evebody!
So , I own a HTC one m9 Sprint, and last friday suddenlty restarts and after it reboots, my signal (carrier/network) was gone!
Everything else is working (Blutooth, Wifi, etc).
At that moment, the phone was stock rom Android Nougat
The actual state of the phone is:
*Unlock
*Custom recovery twrp
*Custom rom Nougat
So, my question is: Can I just install a rom based on Marshmallow directly to a Nougat (via Custom recovery twrp) phone in order to downgrade it?
I already check:
✓ IMEI is correct
✓ Sim (work in other cellphones)
✓ Carrier/network do not have a lock in to my number
Hope someone can take a lookor have any tip in order to recover the signal in my mobile .
Thank you very much in advance guys!:laugh:

Unless you're running official Nougat, I don't think it will be an issue to downgrade to a custom marshmallow via TWRP.
You, however, can't downgrade to official Marshmallow from TWRP. You'll need stock recovery for that.
In case you're downgrading to a custom marshmallow rom i.e LOS 13/CM13, it's better to check the corresponding thread for installation instructions.

Glad it worked!
I am on a 10.3.0 oxygen , I have rooted my device, unlocked bootloader etc.
My phone is currently very unstable, I get FC and phone freezes often.
There is a new firmware update which is over 1 gb.
Is there any way I can install latest update / oxygen firmware, without losing data and without losing root?
I can't wipe / format the phone as I have few work related apps which simply can't be reinstalled.
Kindly assist.
