[Q] is this official lollipop update?

Hello on turning my phone on this morning I am prompted with this (screenshot below) and I'm skeptical about installing it as I love 4.4.2 if I install and do not like can I come back to 4.4.2? Is this lollipop?

Yes that is a Lollipop update. The clue is at V20C.
I'm assuming yours is D838? From which country?
Are you using some mods for the data speed and temperature on notification bar?

Don't worry, you will still be able go back to 4.4.2 by using the KDZ or TOT method

Yes D838 TWN model there is a screenshot if you need anymore info, and yes network speed indicator, CPU temperatur and CPU voltage in the top left as I like seeing what's happening at any given moment, the phone is stock rooted and the mods are through exposed, if I update to lollipop will I loose root? And also my mods? I would like to update but I would really dis-like not having root or my mods as they make my phone just how I like it would feel very bare without them.

A few notices:
- The root will be lost if you upgrade to Lollipop.
- Currently, Xposed Framework does not work on Lollipop.

Thank you I've just had a read and should be fine returning to 4.4.2 if I'm unhappy.
Yes this is what I suspected I hoped I would be able to gain root but I did assume exposed would not work thank you anyway for your helpfulnes! I will install later on and give opinion on how it feels and runs, I will miss root and exposed.

You may get root on Lollipop by flashing zip files (rom and SuperSU) from 4.4 recovery, more information at: http://lgviet.com/forum/threads/rom-d83820c_twn_pure.37488/ . I did this way and got root on my D838 Lollipop device

So if I flashed the 20c rooted via 4.4 recovery and want to go back to stock 4.4 10b what should I do, just flash the .kdz?

[TWRP][surnia] Squid TWRP Recovery for Moto E LTE

This is my version of TWRP built for the 2015 Moto E LTE. It should work fine, but using it is a try at your own risk procedure. Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this recovery. Fastboot mode is used to flash or boot this recovery. To enter fastboot mode, turn off your device, hold PWR and VolDn for 3 seconds, then let go.
Differences between upstream TWRP and my fork:
My original green theme
No SuperSU
No TWRP app
No HTC Dumlock cruft
Updated pigz compressor (slightly faster and more tolerant of corruption)
To temporarily boot this recovery:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
To permanently flash it:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
The download is up on the downloads tab.

Yes, the recovery does not depend on your kernel or ROM.

Ok, thankz. Backup and restore works fine? I will test Port Walkman from Z3....

I've been working on a new Squid Kernel version for Android 5.1, but I haven't released it yet as a standalone kernel. PM me if you want to try a beta.

About camera on stock kernel
Hello there! I just ordered this phone and plan on rooting it, but with the camera breaking after rooting it and all guess I'll try one of your kernels, which version would you recommend?
Also, installing a stock kernel would fix the camera?

At this point, I'd say your best option is to install the 5.1 stock ROM and root that. The rooted camera issue only happens on 5.0, and not on 5.1. The 5.1 stock ROM is much smoother and more stable than the stock 5.0 ROM anyways.

Thanks for your reply. So in that case first I'd have to update the phone to Android 5.1 normally, right? Directly through the phone? After rooting in 5.1 would any custom kernels be necessary, to fix anything, or is it running all right with just 5.1 + root?

Yes, no custom kernels are required for things to work properly on 5.1. The easiest way to update is to flash the @Q9Nap 5.1 stock ROM zip with TWRP.

I see, I was worried I wouldn't be able to update this phone since I'm outside the U.S. and it seems the updates are restricted by the carriers. You said that I should update to 5.1 and root that, but to install the stock rom by @Q9Nap you mention wouldn't I have to root first?
Also, could you provide a link to the mentioned stock rom? or is this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/development/fxz-moto-e-lte-xt1527-recovery-t3135210

After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash whatever you want regardless of your carrier. The Q9Nap zip you linked is the correct one, provided your model is an XT1527 or XT1524 (other models won't work with his zip). You don't need to be rooted to upgrade, you just need TWRP installed to flash the zip.

I'm currently trying to get twrp onto my brothers Moto E, it's the xt1511 variant, i did get it unlocked, but every attempt to flash this recovery gives me back a image size exceed partition and it fails. Do i need to use mfastboot? I'm running the 2nd gen X and this moto E is a odd little bastard.
Edit: Got same "Image Size exceeds partition" error when attempting with Mfastboot.

Been using it since a few hours after it was released. I think you'll be fine.

Yeah, it is better than lollipop. It's like lollipop was the beta for marshmallow. Windows 8.1 to Windows 10...etc.

Some help with a spanish phone

I bought a XT1541 on Amazon, but the phone received had a Spanish 5.1.1 ROM while I live in France. So i have flashed the "XT1541 OSPREY RETEU 5.1.1" rom and now it didn't find the Marshmallow update ..
I have the 8Gb version, setting says "System version: 23.41.47.osprey_reteu.reteu.en.EU retes" and a friend with the same phone show the right version ("23.41.47.osprey_reteu.reteu.en.EU retfr")
Some help required to change retes to retfr
Thank you in advance

I haven't ever seen "retfr" in any Moto G3, but you should forget this, CM13 is very good and very stable. What image of RETEU did you install?
PS: I am spanish and I bought my Moto G in Orange and I have received the OTA.
