So I have a Moto G XT1033 Asia Dual Sim. I was using Kitkat and was very happy with it. Then I updated to Lollipop via OTA and soon figured out I was better off on Kitkat. As I knew how to downgrade, I thought let's give this a try and via some tutorials online I managed to downgrade my phone to Kitkat using some automated .bat files and cmd..
The moment I shifted to Kitkat I came across this issue that the screen flickers while booting and there is no way we can solve that the only solution is lock/unlock the screen and the flicker will go away. After using it for 2 to 3 days I suddenly came across this issue that my phone is leaking battery like crazy. I have attached some screenshots below with wake locks. The phone is showing AWAKE a lot of times. I am now thinking of going back to Lollipop (At least the phone was working fine on 5.0).
Also my phone bootloader is unlocked with custom TWRP recovery and Rooted.
What help I need from XDA :
1. Can you guys tell me what's the issue with the battery leak?
2. How do I update now to 5.0 from this ROM? (As my phone is rooted so I am guessing I will have to flash the zip file) (Found this file in XDA Stock 5.0 collection Retail Asia 5.0.2 Stock ROM (Untouched) (519mb))
3. If I flash this 5.0 file do I have to flash the radio files?
4. After moving back to 5.0 I want to make the phone the way it was earlier (No Root No custom recovery and Bootloader locked) (Any links will help me)
5. My reason to create this thread was, if there is some major issue I can get it solved as my phone will be in warranty only till 30th May. So please help guys.

Since you upgraded your ROM the bootloader will automatically upgrade to lollipop version 41.05(Kitkat) to 41.18(Lollipop). It's better to use lollipop.

No ways then the best option is to just update it to Lollipop and keep the phone alive..
So in that case I should just flash the file mentioned?
Also can you give some links to unroot, remove TWRP and lock bootloader?
And are these battery issues cos of the lollipop bootloader on kitkat?

You know but I really want to know is the battery issues because of the bootloader? Hoping flashing the Lollipop will solve all these issues..
I am getting an error while flashing the Lollipop stock ROM
Solved this error.. Just reboot again in recovery and reflash it
Baseband version
I just used the stock file to update my Moto G XT 1033 Dual Sim to Lollipop. Checked the About phone section with few of my friends and figured that my baseband version is different from them? What is the issue? I also flashed Radio files of 5.0.2 for XT1033
My Baseband is MSM8626BP_1032.3105.93.00R. ROW_DSDS_CUST
All other friends baseband is MSM8626BP_1032.3105.93.00R. EMEA_DSDS_CUST
Also from the time I have downgraded my phone from Lollipop to kitkat and then updated to lollipop using these zip files I have no 3G or 2G data on my Relaince GSM card? Can anyone please help me with this? I am connecting with Reliance they are saying there is some issue in their network but I just want to be sure from my end if I am not doing anything wrong?
Also after flashing the 502 radio files my phone battery is going bonkers yesterday night from 77% it went to 0 on stand by. No phone usage at all. Checked the stats it's showing mobile radio used the battery for 7 hours.

Big Thanks to @bender_007!
He was nice enough to make Autorec compatible with the newest lollipop OTA 5.02 30F. I tested it for him and it works!
Check it out in the Play Store!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecd800&hl=en
Don't forget to give him some thanks and if you feel inclined to, some donation.
Just root your lollipop g2, here's an informative video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i22O9VHGi3k , then install Autorec from Playstore and then you'll get TWRP!

am trying this method but when put in the last code its taken a while to do anything,so am wondering is it normal for it to take that long or am i doing something wrong?
When using one click ver 1.3 when it reaches 90% in download mode, wait a couple of mins then pull the usb cable out of phone while in download mode. You should reboot into Android upgrading SU !
Which rooting apps are u using?,is it for d800 variant?
yeah the OneClickRoot works. I was on KK 4.4.2, CloudyFlex 2.8 and decided to update to 5.0.2 just for the bootloader, modem and other stuff. So, I started backing up my "SD Card" to my laptop, using the TOT file method to flash via LG Flashtool to 20c, then rooting with TowelRoot, updating to 20y and finally, upgrading to 30f. But, just for testing, I factory reset my unit.
Then the quest to find a suitable root method began, tried towel, io and stomp but didn't work for me. Then I found this "OneClickRoot" that looked good. I d/l'ed v1.3 but it took forever in Download mode. Then, i decide to try v1.2 (Console version) and it worked PERFECTLY, highly recommended.
I just got this device (D800) with the intention of rooting and installing CM12. It came with the latest version of KK which I knew I had to downgrade to a version of JB with an unlocked boatloader. But my phone upgraded to Lollipop on its own before I had the chance to do anything. I assume the boatloader is still locked with the latest Lollipop firmware. It's nice there is a way to root Lollipop but will I be able to run CM12 and custom kernels somehow?
this is awesome, THANKS!
No go for me..

I'm guessing that you re referring rooting, right? In the console version, it says that you have to unplug the phone, turn it off and plug it again pressing Vol+ (Vol Up) to enter download mode.
After that, it will continue and eventually you'll get to something that says Special Command ENTER something,, then you have to press Ctrl-C to finish.
Hope this helps

Thanks for posting this guapinoy. I recently got a new AT&T G2 that I OTA updated to Lollipop (using an AT&T sim). I followed the picture tutorial linked to that youtube video (http://highonandroid.com/android-smartphones/how-to-root-lg-g-flex-2-g2-g3-on-lollipop/) and was able to root successfully. Installed TWRP afterwards using the autorec app.
I'm having problems with that recovery that this thing installed, it doesn't work for flashing, just for backups... Tried to install other recovery (philz and the official twrp) or rom (liquidsmooth) and i always get the message "error executing updater binary in zip "zip name" "....
Also installed the kitkat baseband, but the error was still there...
I got a boot loop now, at first the ROM worked without recovery, now the recovery works but the ROM won't boot. I can't flash anything due to the same erro .
Help!!!
Hi.. Everyone I'm new to the thread I flashed Blisspop 3.2 to my lg g2 and everytime I bootbit up I keep experience gapps error such as unfortunately google play services has stopped and I can't access anything without that error popping up my LG g2 is the AT&T model (D800) can someone please give me a copy of autorec d800 for lollipop so I can use to try flash twrp on the phone or will the old kit kat autorec work Please I'm in serious need
Just wondering if anyone has any insight on SU6-7.7 on the Droid line? Whether or not anyone know or hear anything about downgrading to a different SU version? I have the firmware file for the latest SU6-7.7 in case anyone wants it.

It would be nice if Motorola/Lenovo would let us do what we want with a phone they no longer "support".

OK, since you asked...
On a Motorola phones that still have their stock, factory install intact, they do this clever thing where they cycle between a few different boot logo's, with slightly different colors in the Motorola logo on each boot.
Is there any way to replicate that after you're unlocked?

I believe that you can replace the stock boot logo with an unlocked or locked bootloader. There are a quite a few logos to choose from. When you pick one, you fastboot the image.
Oh, to answer your original question, SU6-7.7 appears to be the "terminal" KitKat release for the Droid Ultra/MAXX.
If you go to the Motorola web site you can get an earlier 2014 4.4.4 build, SU4.21 I think. I think that was the first 4.4.4, before any OTA's. This is why I was happy when you posted the more recent one.

To my knowledge, I don't think you can install custom roms once you install the latest SU update. Beings that you're on SU6-7.7 like me, there's not much you can do until someone comes out with another exploit.
Can I revert to su6-7 after having su6-7.7 update? I could do that after su6-7.3 update though.

Did you try downgrading directly from SU6-7.7 to SU6-7 or you went like SU6-7.7 to 7.3 to 7.2 to SU6-7?
Because for SU6-7.3 I downgraded one by one.

In case this helps anyone: I recently updated to SU6-7.7 from SU4.21 following the guidance in this thread and referenced resources on a XT1030 (Moto Mini). Initially I tried to get cute and only flashed the system image and modem upgrades; was rewarded with a bootloader loop that did not resolve after a full TWRP restore of the previous build. Next take including everything in the zip except boot.img and recovery.img as my device is unlocked and wasn't sure if flashing boot.img would relock the bootloader. Also wanted to maintain a true recovery. Everything worked fine except the WiFi radio which refused to engage (Bluetooth was ok). After a bit of fiddling dropped back to fastboot and flashed boot.img. Device restarted just fine with bootloader remaining unlocked. Whohoo! I should also note the all of the above was a 'dirty flash'. Never erased the userdata partition; all apps came back just fine. Oh yeah, had to reflash SuperSU but that's pretty standard after a system wipe.
Thanks to all the key contributors in this thread and elsewhere in the forum. After some miserable bootloops a couple years back (foolishly accepted VZW OTA) I froze the rom and vowed never to update it. It's nice to be running the terminal release of KitKat for this device which as several stability/usability features baked in along with the usual security updates (now dated but better than 2014!). I had considered CM 12.1 and CM 13 but needed fully hardware functionality that only seems to come with stock builds.

Dear i have successfully rooted mine droid mini su6-7.7 with kingo root (not global) v3.4 successfully now i have superuser app in system directory
---------- Post added at 05:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 AM ----------
Dear friends i have successfully root mini droid mini su6-7.7 with kingo root v3.4 (not kingo root global). actually i was trying to flash su4.21 over su6-7.7 with RSD lite v6.1 but failed with max get var and after that tried to flash with RSD lite 5.1 again failed without any error. after all of there method i thought of giving a try to kingo root. i downloaded 2 apps kingo root globalv4.9.7 and kingo root v3.4, kingo root global failed to root but.... kingo root v3.4 succeeded to roo. now i have superuser app in system driectory.
but problem is that after removing system app (amazon) when i restarted the phone all the apps came back and superuser app gone. i don't know why so my request to look into this method .
i have tested this method and worked 100% and i have no intention of making fun of me. i have both the apps but don't know how to upload here
Thanks
So basically, after I rooted, I was stuck in a bootloop at the "warning: bootloader unlocked" screen when I tried to boot, so I tried "factory reset" with the same result. Then I DL'd the stock xt1250 firmware and the update back to 5.0.2 (which the phone had before I F'd it up), but TWRP won't install either of them.
I can access the bootloader, and TWRP recovery, but any other option from the bootloader, or restarting results back in the "warning: bootleader unlocked" screen loop
I've seen a few places on here that there is a Brazilian version of 6.0.1 that it TWRP-able, but living in the U.S.of.A. and not being able to speak Portuguese, I was wondering if that would work for me?
thanks,
N.K.
Actually, I just tried copying the Brazilian 6.0.1 onto the phone and I got an error that "the file is larger than the device limit", so I guess that option's out!
I feel horrible right now! I just got this awesome phone, and broke it within 2 days
I really hope someone can help!
Status Update:
-I downloaded a bunch of zips... American xt1250 4.4.4 and conversion to 5.0.2 (which the phone is), Brazilian xt1225 5.0.2 and 6.0.1
-I tried RSD because twrp was obviously doing nothing.
-I ended up getting one to work, which was the Brazilian 5.0.2 with some files from another one (I forgot which, but I think the American 5.0.2 conversion) because is was lacking some key components (which it seems they all were).
-none of the others worked at all
-I have yet to test my sim card in it, but...
Problem:
-I got my phone up and running, but now the wifi wont turn on. It says "turning on wifi..." but nothing ever happens. I looked it up and found lots of stuff about wifi and bluetooth not turning on, but my bluetooth seems to turn on as it should.
Aright... I installed Bliss Rom, and it all works! The camera sucks compared to the stock camera, but I can live with that. Thanks for the help everyone! :good: :good: :good:

I've seen a few places on here that there is a Brazilian version of 6.0.1 that it TWRP-able, but living in the U.S.of.A. and not being able to speak Portuguese, I was wondering if that would work for me?

The TWRP-flashable 6.0.1 ROM was made by a Verizon user who lives in the U.S. It works for ALL Quarks. It doesn't matter what language you speak, you choose the language you want at the bootup screen. Just like every other version of Android.

Tons of people are using that TWRP-flashable ROM. You have 64GB storage space unless you've used it all up. So, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to transfer that file and flash it.

Glad you got it running! However, in the future don't just download and flash anything. Brazilian 5.0.2 won't work because it's not made for your phone (U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250), and the radio/modem won't work. The Brazilian TWRP flashable 6.0.1 file works in part because @iiWoodstocK used custom @bhb27 kernel to make it compatible. It's stock Motorola Marshmallow ROM otherwise. So, that one was OK, but just flashing XT1225 firmware for your XT1250 is not wise.
Also, you can't downgrade bootloaders, so be careful when flashing different versions of software. You can downgrade from MM to Lollipop or even Kitkat, but you have to leave out gpt.bin.
It seemed you were just flashing a lot of stuff, so be careful.

You can change the camera. There's stock Moto Camera files in this forum you can flash. This is from the Bliss ROM thread:
kitcostantino said:
^^ agreed. great ROM. as far as camera quality, that is just the stock CM camera. idk why. i never use it for that reason. there are a few "moto canera and gallery" flash able zip files on androidfilehost.com and mega. or you can try to install them from Play store. the moto ones are better in that aspect. the htc 10 camera works okay as do several others. find a replacement that works for you.

Try reflashing the modem/radio in ADB. Not restoring in TWRP, but actually flashing the XT1254 radio again.

Hi. I'm finally can root my SM-G920R6. I use the KingRoot.apk the v4.80 and root the phone. But it's not full root. Them I use the SuperSuMe.exe on my PC to remove all the KingRoot app and install the official SuperSu.apk The program install it's self. And now we can install the correct binary and reboot the device and don't lose root... ohh and my Knox still 0x0... =) XD:laugh: :victory: :highfive:
Links:
●KingRoot v4.80
●SuperSuMe. for PC
Sincerely I don't know if full root or not. But for me is working. And other things I don't know is full knox disabled. The SuperSuMe block the knox in one of the process but I don't know if is disabled at all or not.
I wish this can't help all the SM-G920R6 user. And don't want to avoid the knox warranty.
The only thing you can see is every time you BootUp your phone it say Custom.
The next thing I'm going to do is make a full backup with FlashFire app because mi firmware not appear in SamMoblie. If one Dev can make something with this backup for make custom roms or something good for this devices model.
my phone info:
Android Version : 5.0.2
Baseband : G920R6WWU1AOE4
Build Number : LRX22G.G920R6WWU1AOE4
Hardware Version : G920R6.02
I'm not a good English speaker so I apologize my errors..
P.S.
Sorry I'm not a Dev. this is my first Thread and I do this for helping.
This is a little off topic for the op but I really need help right now.. I rooted with CF autoroot for G920F no problem then installed TWRP 3.0.2-1 zeroflteusc also built for G920F model and in the process of trying to find a better rom as soon as I had a custom recovery, me (being a dumba**) accidentally wiped my internal storage to do a clean flash of a rom therefore deleting the only backup I had. I've only been able to find the factory binary for this device which I flashed but it had literally nothing exept for basic testing software and a simple ui to run it. It was also stuck on Android 5.0.2 but I found a compatible rom with AllianceROM v1 with update v2 flashed for the G920F but I can't find any way to update past 5.0.2!! I've been trying to find a way to update somehow for weeks but nothing is compatible with my device and I'm stuck. Would someone that has my model running on Android 5.1.1 or 6.0/.1 please install the TWRP I mentioned before and make a backup of the system, modem, efs, and boot and post it online or send it to me it would be a lot of help.
Reasons I hate you I guess ?
You are a real piece of **** and a cancer to those with A ACTUAL SAMSUNG-SMG920V.
I don't even know why you posted this here you don't even have a SM G920R6.
Seriously you just made me give up hope once again on getting root on my SAMSUNG-SMG920 on android 6.0.1 :crying:
Sincerely yours ( Another piece of **** with this **** tastic phone that dies in 3 hours and you can do jack **** with)
P.s. It also dies in 3 hours no matter what I install on it no matter on many resource manager apps I use, it just ****ing dies.
P.s.s. Sorry for swearing so much...

Because my device is G920R6 originally and i want it back the 920F rom is barely compatible with my device as is and i want a stable rom made for my build and also to enlighten others of how i rooted this phone and what custom recovery is working for me. Even on 5.0.2 and an unstable rom my battery lasts 6+ hours of constant use so root is working fine for me.
So much hate.
yeah i see now this model phone is the ugly duck....
But some one have the factory firmware of this model flashable with odin. Thanks a lot.

yeap.. but when I install the recovery the phone gave a glitch.. its flipping the touch response inverted.. and the only fix is with root. and use the app. phone info.apk for Samsung and use the secret code with root because it is blocked on the dialer.

Okay thanks you too
This guide is to help out the people who are rooted to know exactly what to do if you get an OTA notification so that there are no errors.
This guide will only work for the Systemless rooting. Guide here
The basic things for achieving OTA after rooting can be found here
Basic things to keep in mind if:
1. Still on soak - Follow this guide and come back to marshmallow and then you should be able to take the OTA.
2. If you are on Stock and rooted - Make a nandroid backup and then the next step is pretty simple, go to SuperSU app and click on the option Full Unroot and click on yes and then again yes and wait for the Phone to reboot. Once it starts back wait for the optimization of the Apps and then download the OTA and then install it. Make sure it is the Stock recovery through which you flash the OTA.
It should go through Smoothly. I have done it twice. Since Nougat doesn't support any known root method yet, so keeping a titanium backup before unrooting is preferred so that as soon as it supports root u can restore all of it back.
Happy updating!
I personally won't install N until we have a rooting method. Because there is no "coming back" if root doesn't materialize.

I know that works perfectly right now, the only reason i made the tutorial on how to downgrade is because we had the same scenario for Moto g 1st gen. People got used to downgrading using the normal method, what they didnt realize was that the bootloader and gpt were not being flashed and they showed failed when you did that for the official firmware. But after a month tons of Moto g 1st gens got hard bricked because of that. Anyone who tried to downgrade from modified stock or custom rom based on Lollipop (At that time) Got their phone hard bricked. It's the same for Nougat also and is same for All cross android versions after Kitkat.
With every new update they release a new partition table and a new bootloader . The new bootloader doesnt allow you to flash the previous bootloaders over it and same for partition but for some varients of the phone the warning is not there and the older bootloader is flashed resulting in a hard brick. This is also true for Custom roms based on the official firmware (which will come) and devices in which a custom kernel has been flashed.
I am not saying trust me, i am just saying be careful .
^ That's what I meant when I said "no coming back". You are stuck with a N bootloader and a MM firmware. Might work fine, might not.
Quick question
I have a XT1643
On stock rooted rom with elemental kernel.
Got an update notification yesterday.
I flashed the stock boot.img I found on the forum but the wifi is not working after flashing that.
what do I need to do in order to get it working and get the update?
Thanks

I agree with you on this. I am stuck with an N Bootloader and and MM firmware.
I can upgrade to an N ROM but I get FP issues (cosmetic, but still not desirable)
I cannot take an official OTA anymore because even if I downgrade to stock, I still have an N Bootloader which prevents me from taking OTA.
Unless we get a stock N rom, I guess we are stuck with this setup.

Everything needs to be on stock! Stock boot, recovery, logo, kernel etc. then it works ! any modifications will lead to an error!
