I was wondering if it's possible to downgrade back to kitkat. About to buy this phone and would prefer lp or kk to mm.
Anyone know of any anti rollback bricks, or q fuses for this device? Thanks. It's H631 Tmo varient.
Lollipop is the earliest Android OS for the original Stylo.
Is downgrading from 20c possible? I can't seem to find a link to a 5.1.1 kdz. They are all broken.

Ask Viperdink if he has the files. I think he does but not sure.

Hi All,
I have looked through the forums and searched the Google and I can't find the correct info for my situation so I appreciate any help.
I have a Moto G GPe that I ordered from Google Play, it came with Android 4.4.2 on it and I am wondering if I can downgrade it to 4.3.
I've unlocked the bootloader and it looks like I should be able to flash a custom recovery, the problem is that I cannot find an image for the stock Moto G GPe 4.3 firmware.
I want to downgrade because I have a need to test an Android app on 4.3.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

There is a regular Motorola 4.3 firmware available
you can get it here - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
just to let you know, it will try to force you to update to 4.4.2

Awesome, I wasn't sure if I could use the regular Motorola firmware on it. I had read that the partition tables are different and I've only seen threads where people flash from the Motorola firmware to the GPe version.
Do you think this would present any problems?
Thanks again.
Backup anything you want to keep because the phone will be completely wiped. There should be no problems. You can find out how to easily disable KitKat 'update' notifications, if you search this forum. It's worth considering there is an issue with the Moto G that should be patched in the next few weeks, but that will require you to update to 4.4.2/3.

did the 5.01 work on your phone? did you get service ie. able to make calls/texts?
Yes...the gpe and US Global retail are both 1032xt...hence no problems with radios

Has anyone else downgraded from 5.1.1 to 5.0.1 or 4.4.4 on the T-Mobile variant? I have done some searching and I have seen that some people feel it may brick the phone. I have seen some go from 5.0.1 to 4.4.4, but not from 5.1.1. When I received my Edge it was already on 5.1.1 but the battery life is pretty awful and I am hoping for better results on 5.0.1.
I have already tripped KNOX and am running RiverRom if it matters.
Somebody posted an 'unlocked' 4.4.4 bootloader here recently and with that you should be able to downgrade to kitkat as poster claims. Take it from there.
Respect!

Sorry to ask a question instead of answering yours but I thought custom 5.1.1 ROMs were supposed to be better for battery life? I assume Riverrom is a custom 5.1.1 ROM. Aren't those supposed to be better?
Hyperdrive is now out based on COK2. I don't think it's possible to downgrade, but if you figure it out, let me know.
Downgrade will also help to use the Gear2
With the lolipop 5.1.1, second version, I can not use the Gearmanager to manange apps
I have Galaxy 6s (920F) with android 5.1.1, i want to downgrade to 5.0.2, i can't find this firmware in google, somebody can send me a link please
You cant after flashing stock 5.1.1
I know this isn't a direct answer to your question, but why would you downgrade? Also, 6.0.1. is here, did you try it? I find it works more fluent than 5.1.1.
Because i can't move my apps to system/app, so i wanted try it in android 5.0.2
about android 6.0, in Israel the update doesn't work yet, still waiting, thanks anyone
Hello I have an LG V10 H900 (AT&T) and I want to downgrade my device to Lollipop (5.0) is there anyway possible?
I never backed up device when I was on Android 5.0. I have LGUP and ADB Fastboot, but I don't have the kdz or tot and dll file for android 5.0 for the LG V10 H900 (AT&T Version). Could someone please help me downgrade my Android smart phone to 5.0? I'd much appreciate.

What you're asking for cannot be done since it will brick your phone. Completely. Once any of us upgraded to MM, we were screwed. So, at this point, we're stuck on MM, with no development because of the locked bootloader, and it is very unlikely that att will upgrade us to Nougat.
Stick with very stock MM or go phone shopping in December.

I'm sorry for the delay in replying. I do not know why you're having the troubles that you're having. All of that works fine for me after the ota update.
I would contact Lg explaining the issues that you are having.
Thanks
Thanks for replying, I value it sir.
I am located at Pakistan, so, I wasn't entertained by OTA, so, I have to upgrade through manual procedure with the help of LGUP software. I was went good, but after restarting, I said troublig me with the said issues. I hope so that LG will reply you with due importance.
Thanks for the help.

I have the same proble, what did you do?
Does the rootedH900TOT or rootedsystemh900.tot not work if you're already on marshmallow? Both of the files are on xda. Also if I try to flash an earlier version of marshmallow will it brick the phone? Or does brick only happen if you try to flash a major OS? like 6.0 -> 5.1? Thanks
