I flashed all the way back to stock using fastboot and mfastboot to the 1053 4.4.3 firmware. When I tried to install the 4.4.4 OTA, I received the EMMC error. I'm using a 1053 on AT&T. Could it be that I had flashed the AT&T 4.4.4 then going back to 4.4.3 that could be causing the error?

Yes. Downgrade is a no no. Post all details.
I was on stock 4.4.3 and flashed a pre-rooted 4.4.4 AT&T image in TWRP. I had read somewhere that the BL's were the same between the two versions. I didn't like the AT&T version, so I flashed back to 1053 4.4.3. The phone has been working just fine. Now, I can't upgrade to the 1053 4.4.4 OTA update. Should I just wait for the SBF file to become available?

A ROM flash doesn't equal a firmware downgrade. RSD going downward is the problem.
But once on a custom recovery you need to backup your virgin "rom" to save it for any future OTA!

Well, dooks. I'll just wait for the sbf.
Has anyone any idea how to return to stock unrooted kitkat on XT1095 Pure Edition? Stock firmwares?
Edit: Did anyone have any success backing up stock system? If so, could you share your BU?
Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out.

Hi, I'm still on a pre-rooted 5.0.2 stock rom based on this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/z3c-usa-variant-lollipop-pre-rooted-nut-t3071069
My question is: How would I go about updating to 5.1.1 without losing root? Would I have to flash the 5.1.1 firmware via Flashtool again? If so, does anyone have a stock pre-rooted US firmware? I also have a locked bootloader, and I'd prefer to keep it that way for the better camera. Thanks!
I have a Pure Edition xt1095 with unlocked bootloader and stock Android 6.0 OTA. I just installed TWRP 3.2.1 and took a nandroid. However if I ever wanted to go back to stock without using the nandroid backup, is there any reason I cannot flash the Motorola stock 5.1 image (found here) and then take the OTA again to get back to 6.0 ? I have searched and most of the posts say it can be done but the individual was coming from CM or some other non-stock ROM. My concern is that by taking the OTA stock 6.0 firmware I have somehow updated my bootloader version and it will no longer allow me to revert back to the 5.1 image. Can anyone confirm or deny?
