Thanks
you'll need to downgrade to a rootable firmware then use one of the pre-rooted zip files for 5.1.1
Is there a faster way to update the firmware without flashing KK, rooting and then reflashing the prerooted new firmware? Is this possible without loss of data?
Yes, just flash a lollipop FTF using flashtool.
If you want to keep root, just install recovery and flash a pre-rooted lollipop zip.
If you are currently not rooted and want root after update then you need to downgrade, root, install recovery and flash a pre-rooted lollipop zip
thanks!

Here: [GUIDE] Update stock rooted/modified rom to last 6.0 Marshmallow w/o losing your data
Additional: update stock OTA
Just dirty flash in the following order :
1. Flashable Zips of latest update (find it on forum).
2. SuperSu 2.66
Boot it completely.
3. Flash ElementalX Kernal 6.09
No wipes. You will be on the latest update.
Motorola has released new OTA update of 371.4 MB in India.
I read that since I am a rooted user I must not try to flash this update.
I would like the help from xda to install these updates. Should I install stock firmware 6.0.1 first?
Two ways to do it
1. Flash stock ROM 6.0from factory firmware link. Allow ota to download and phone should upgrade to 6.0.1
2. Flash the 6.0.1 stock ROM which is made available in factory firmware link. -Update: 6.0.1 is already the updated system with the new ota of 371mb.
Option 2 is more convenient.
While upgrading to mm 6.0 via ota, on my rooted phone I had tried flashing the stock recovery and cleaning the root. but it did not help and I landed with a soft bootloop. The ota checks for the original fingerprint of the stock system which is why you need to be on stock firmware for the ota update method.
You need stock recovery and stock firmware.
