I have XT1550 2 GB India retail version running Android 5.1.1
It is rooted and has TWRP. I want to upgrade it to MM, but I don't want to wipe the data. AFAIK, I can't use factory firware images without a reset. Is there a way to upgrade and keep all my apps and data?

No. You will face too many issues if you keep data from a rooted 5.1.1 to stock 6.0.1
You need to make a factory reset before flashing. I would even advise you to wipe system and internal memory as well before flashing the 6.0.1 factory image

Hi everyone, i get the official update for my moto g xt1033 asia retail, i updated from kk to lollipop, after that i tried to flash a custom recovery and the phone get crazy, restarting continously. I made a factory reset and i was able to start the phone, now it works, but it have many problems, the sim2 is not conected to internet...the ideea is i want to reflash this update. How can i do that? factory reset and wipe cache doesnt help me. How can i reflash with the same version of L 5.0.2 OTA. I have root and stock recovery. Thanks
Revert to stock 4.4.4
And then flash the 5.0.2 update zip through recovery.
how? i think i have 5.0 bootloader and i understand is too risky to downgrade to stock 4.4.4, if i know how, maybe i will, thanks
i have a 5.0 rooted n5. wanna move to 5.1 how do i do it without loosing data.
and yes i can move to 5.1 without loosing data by individually flashing the factory image(skipping the userdata). but how do i root without loosing data.
is there any other way of doing it ??

You can use the flash-all.bat in the factory 5.1 image as long as you remove the -w. The -w is what tells it to wipe. Once that is done, you will be on 5.1 and you can then re-root by booting into a custom recovery (fastboot boot recovery.img) and installing the root.zip from there. That will get your root back.
Since you are already rooted, I am assuming that your device is already unlocked.
Is there a way to downgrade to 4.4.4 without data wipe?
The energy use of the software I'm not happy about it.
Hello,
I have the Xt1562 Indian version running 5.1.1 - which I have rooted and also have TWRP as recovery.
The OTA upgrade gets downloaded but fails. I then reverted to stock recovery but still the OTA upgrade fails.
How can I upgrade to Marshmallow on this without losing my data or apps or contacts?
Thanks,
Padam
Ota fails since you're rooted. You can try TWRP flashable MM rom and dirty flash it without wiping /data
Ota is possible only if you are in stock firmware and stock recovery. Fast boot flash stock firmware and get ota or directly flash updated firmware. Githup has all stock firmware files.
Never use stock update via TWRP , you may brick your device.
During giving fast boot commands , skip fast boot erase user data will not wipe data , but while doing this I have some FC s. Otherwise backup all your files , apps data and flash firmware.
Hi,
I want to update to 6.0.1 Xtresolite but I wonder how can I keep my data? (I want to restore every apps & images on the updated version)...
When I update, should I make a factory reset? When Can I find a step by step from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 ?
What do you think about Smart Switch?
When you are coming from 5.1.1 stock you can't install a 6.0.1 rom. You first have to upgrade to stock 6.0.1. Keeping data when flashing a custom rom is unlikely since a full wipe is required before flashing when you don't want to run into any issues/FCs.
@XxM4tzexX So I can update to 6.0.1 stock without loosing any data? How?
Flashing a stock Firmware via Odin.
