If I use my stock rom back-up to update the PRL, how can I use TWRP to backup the file, and overwrite the old one after I use TWRP to restore my CM12.1 backup?

I have a Boost Mobile Moto G running stock 4.4.2 rooted with CWM recovery. I would like to know how to upgrade it to 4.4.4 with root but I am not sure what to flash next or to make a nandroid backup. Should I install stock recovery and install the update or flash some zip for recovery.

Try an alternative rom?

If you want to remain with stock ROM, make a nandroid backup, flash stock recovery and do an update. Re-root and re-flash CWM after if you wish.
Alternatively, try an alternative ROM like CM11, Omni, PA etc. You can use CWM recovery to simply flash your new rom (after full wipe). Don't forget to take a nandroid backup AND a data backup of contacts, all app-data, sms/mms, bookmarks etc with apps like Titanium, MyBackup or Carbon/Helium.
This is what you can do
Step 1: download the update on your stock 4.4.2 rom.
Step 2: plug your phone into your computer and reboot to fastboot mode 3: pretend your flashing stock firmware (no u won't loose any data or have to reset)
Step 4: flash everything in order BUT*** exclude mfastboot erase userdata and mfastboot erase cache.
Step 5: after u exclude those 2 commands reboot your phone using mfastboot reboot
Step 6 your phone will reboot however any tweaks, modifications, and anything involving root will be disabled temporarily since u basically reverted back to stock without fully factory reseting.
Step 7: Go to settings and install your update (itll take about 10-15) minutes
Step 8: once its done go back to fastboot mode reflash your recovery and your root and reboot and your good to go ull be on 4.4.4 rooted and stock recovery
Side Note : Making a 4.4.2 back up is useless because after u upgrade you can't downgrade
Im on 4.4.4 XT1031 Boostmobile
Custom Recovery (TWRP) and rooted
Sent from my XT1031 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No M10 snapshot yet
I also might install CM11 but there is no M10 snapshot, so thats why i'm on stock until the latest M snapshot is released for it.
At the moment I am still at latest version of Lollipop with root permissions, but now I feel that MM is calling me.
I'd like to upgrade to Android 6.0.1 and root it, how do I do it?
Titanium backup app+data ==> Factory reset ==> Upgrade to 6.0.1 ==> root from 6.0.1 ==> Restore Titanium backup
Would it work? If not, any advice?
Furthermore, is there any full clear guide for rooting from Android 6.0.1?
Thank you,

Flash a MM rom via TWRP
Most of the roms are prerooted, only search and choose the rom that you are looking
Search it in Nexus 5 Android Development thread
After flash the rom via TWRP, install Titanium Backup and restore your important data

Flash SuperSU 2.66+ (WIP) from TWRP if you want to root with systemless. No custom boot image needed.
I rooted my OnePlus when it first came out and had a custom kernel on it, and since then I haven't updated it. I want to update to CM13 but am not familiar with the process that needs to be done without losing any data or risk bricking my phone. I believe it has TWRP recovery and Franco kernel (I don't have the phone with me so can't verify).
Do I simply unlock the bootloader, backup data and then flash the new custom ROM? Would I be able to flash a custom ROM without losing root? I want to keep the root but go back to stock kernel.
Thanks
When you unlock your bootloader you'll lose all your data. However if your bootloader is already unlocked, proceed to flash this TWRP version (unofficial TWRP 2.8.6.0.6 by kumajaya): www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952609056
Other versions of TWRP have bugs not updating the firmware properly.
You'll lose your root but CM13 nightlies have their own root in the developer settings. Or you can flash SuperSU 2.67 on top after you flash the ROM if you prefer SuperSU.
Oh and make a TWRP nandroid backup first before you do anything. Backup the firmware partition too if it's not checked by default.

How did you make your backup? If you used twrp, then restore it with twrp etc.
