This is only for devices currently on 4.4 or rooted 5.1 w/ moforoot. This upgrade path allows moforoot to continue to work, and retains the ability to downgrade to 4.4.
Note 12/2/2015:
Development on this has been discontinued with the release of the SunShine bootloader unlock.
To use SunShine without having to deal with KingRoot, you can flash the Rooted v3 system img and then use SunShine to unlock. This is the most stable method if you can use mofo.
After unlocking using SunShine, please flash the latest bootloader/radio images from here. This will bring your phone completely up to date and provide a more stable experience with custom ROMs.
These images are still flashable after unlocking your bootloader if you'd like a stable, closest-to-stock ROM possible.
Instead of using mofo to flash the system image, you can just use
Code:
fastboot flash system filename-goes-here.img
You can then flash your own tweaks like Xposed.
I'd recommend making a back up of the stock ROM in TWRP so you have a stable base to go back to if anything goes wrong.
Note 10/10/2015:
Updated all images to the latest OTA update (SU4TL-44) and included the latest official Xposed version (v75) in extras v5.
Follow the instructions with 5.1_images_v4.zip to flash the updated firmware images.
Note 9/5/2015:
Updated extras (v4) to include the latest official Xposed version (v73). Read the previous note for more information.
Note 8/31/2015:
Updated extras to the latest official Xposed version (v72). Reflashing all of the images is not required, only the extras system.img using mofo.
You can download the full extras image (1.5gb), or if you already have the rooted v2 image, use the extras v3 patch (8mb) with the instructions below.
Using the rooted v2 image + patch will allow you to update in the future without redownloading the entire image (as long as you keep the original after patching).
Note 7/23/2015:
Updated to the latest OTA (23.11.39). Make sure to follow instructions and reflash all images from the latest zip.
Unfortunately, I couldn't provide a patch to go from rooted image v1->v2, so a redownload is needed.
When applying the latest extras, make sure you're applying it to the rooted image v2.

Instructions
A data wipe is not required, but please back up any important data beforehand in case something goes wrong.
After extracting 5.1_images_v4.zip, reboot into bootloader and run the following commands to prepare your phone for the latest 5.1 system image:
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot flash mdm1m9kefs3 fsg.mbn
fastboot erase mdm1m9kefs1
fastboot erase mdm1m9kefs2
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then use mofo to flash the system image of your choice and reboot.
After flashing a system image, the first boot will stay on the Motorola logo for an extra 30 seconds to 1 minute. This is rebuilding the cache partition (erased by moforoot after every flash).
If your phone doesn't boot after 5 minutes (and isn't showing the "Upgrading apps" dialog), try formatting the cache in recovery by doing the following:
While phone is off, hold the volume down button and turn it on to boot into bootloader. Use the volume keys to find the recovery option and press power to confirm.
Once you see the dead Android (it may also say "No Command", this is normal), pull up the recovery menu by holding power and pressing volume up (5.1 recovery is different than 4.4) and use the wipe cache option.
If the screen is blank in recovery with a periodically flashing Android icon, try booting the phone normally and trying again. This happened to me a few times, and I theorize it's because of the cache partition not being formatted after erased.
Extras (updated 10/10/2015 w/ latest OTA & Xposed official v75)
Download patch (v5)
SHA1: 451be2eef3df509facf16b807c6fc665c8fac090
If you don't want to deal with patching the image using xdelta3, you can download the full extras image in the Files section above.
This will prevent you from updating without redownloading the whole image in the future, but is easier for less experienced users.
Current extras:
Xposed official v75 (download APK from here)
(optional) ad blocking
busybox/sqlite3
tethering enabled
To apply the patch, use the rooted v3 image (not an already patched image) as a base, and follow the patching instructions (using xdelta3) in this post.
After patching the system.img with the extras, you'll use mofo to flash the patched image.
To use ad blocking, download AdAway (available in F-Droid) and enable it. Make sure the "Target hosts file" is set to "/data/hosts" in settings.
shouldnt we also be updating the radio?

I haven't personally tested upgrading the radio, and whether that affects downgrading at all. If someone confirms it's without risk, I'll add the radio.img to the zip and instructions.

It looks like radio is just a collection of the modem images, so that should eliminate some of the commands. I'll update the OP.

Radios won't be compatible across ROM versions. You would flash the 4.4.4 radio if downgrading to a 4.4.4 image, not while running 5.1.
Ummmmm. Is this a dream? Someone pinch me...... There's no one around....... Can this really be true!? I'm afraid to try it and bork everything.

No, it's completely stock with SuperSU installed.

I do
logo
boot
recovery
radios
But I do that b/c that is the way they are usually written in the scripts that come with the images. I think the only 2 where the order really matters is the bootloader and partition table and you aren't flashing those.

I went ahead and made one too just in case there were any issues with FirstEncounter's since I already have a device set up to do this anyhow.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rmuev8agm5wl2lh/XT1254_5.1_root_system_ext4.zip?dl=0
PLMK if there are any issues with my image. I will take it down once people have started to modify the images, test them and are sure there are no issues.
It should be easy for someone to modify the buildprop so you can have free tether.

Bootloader acted a little weird, got a couple screen flickers... not sure if related or not. It worked itself out after one or two reboots. Thanks for the awesome instructions!
Just updated the OP with a patch for Xposed, ad blocking, busybox and tethering. Let me know if it works for everyone.

Thank you! You are working mighty quickly I must say. We all really appreciate it!
I can not seem to boot it to recovery after doing the steps in OP. Little man blinks and says "no command" under him. Wanted to do a factory reset after the steps in OP. Any ideas? I am letting it boot into LP for the first time and then will try to get into recovery to do the reset.
After I let LP boot up, I could enter into recovery and factory reset without a problem.
Just as title says I am searching but cannnot locat a img or zip for the stock recovery anyone got a copy for RETUS so i can flash this ota? for magisk you just have to open it scroll down tap uninstall tap restore images, to get your stock boot, but if you flashed twrp it will fail also must be on wifi so I have the full firmware for RETUS but none of them seem to be recovery or its named something else, all the commands to return to stock stay nothing about flash recovery either any help or upload would be very appreciated so i can take this ota until i decide what rom to go with.

Recovery is part of boot.img now.

Ahh okay found one with a script and all gonna see if it works once you go to the latest firmware page sort by latest modified and go to this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-power/how-to/update-retail-moto-g7-power-manually-to-t3946233 and up to you choose either update with or without erase bat file open cmd as admin reboot fastboot while the script is already open waiting for fastboot, but u do have to completly remove magisk for this to work then just go back to fastboot boot into twrp reflash no verity if you like and latest magisk again and should be all gravy for now id suggest not flashing twrp as your recovery.
Hi all so I am planning to install a Havoc OS on my phone with TWRP and Magisk
So my question is in the event that the install doesnt work out for me or that I dont like the rom (no rearson why I shouldnt) how do I get back to the original A10 rom?
I have downloaded the OxygenOS 10.0.6 [EU] OnePlus 7 Pro 5G.zip file from here already. Would I be able to go ahead boot into TWRP and flash this ifneeded?
TIA Bart

Hi Bart,
Make sure you keep TWRP recovery after flashing custom Rom.
Then if you want to go back, flash official Rom zip on both slots after formatting data otherwise it won't boot.
Thanks for that.
Only thing I'm not sure is what you mean by flashing to both slots?
If for example you get a boot loop can you still get into TWRP?
I assume this is a yes as this is before it boots into the phones OS?

When returning to stock,
format data
Flash stock zip
Flash TWRP
Reboot into recovery which is TWRP
Follow the same steps again and reboot...
If you end up in boot loop, don't stress. You can always flash TWRP recovery again via fastboot.
Hi guys,
I think i bricked my oneplus 7 pro. Installed twrp then tried to change to stock boot image. there is no service center here in my region. how can i flash back the stock rom using fastboot.
If your BL is unlocked you can use the fastboot ROM. Or just boot TWRP and Flash the stock rom zip.
Provide more info so we can help

This works for me
Fastboot boot into TWRP,, ( TWRP nebrassy edition)
install trwp via advance settings
reboot into recovery
send a copy of your ota oos over to your phone ,
flash oss ,
reboot into oss recovery
Format data in oss stock recovery
Reboot
just find a way to relock your bootloader, it will revert you to stock completely.
