I have googled and looked around all over XDA. I cannot find accurate data regarding updating to 5.1 from 4.4.4.
I've been a huge fan of XDA and the devs for years. I've always been able to find what I'm looking for within minutes. But this time.... I can't. The biggest issue is when I do find something, it's either missing details or missing working links. I'm not very good at this and don't know how to find the files needed on my own. Can I get some accurate help with working links on this issue? Thanks guys!
I have a Moto X 1st Gen, Dev eddition. 4.4.4 - rooted. TWRP (can't remember what version) I had Xposed installed, but uninstalled it recently (and the modules). Do I still need to do anything to further remove Xposed?
Is your first gen dev edition an XT1053/GSM model, or XT1060/Verizon model?
I ask because the 5.1 update for the Verizon model hasn't been released yet.
As for conditions to update, see the link in my signature, it explains it all.

First off I apologize if this has been answered. I have spent a great time searching but has not found an exact answer to my question.
I recently purchased a Verizon Moto X developers edition off Swappa that has the 4.4.4 update with the intention to root it. (For the wifi hotspot)
I know some of the updates have closed some opportunities to give it root, but is it still possible to give the device root with this latest update?
Thank you everyone for your time.

If it really is the Dev edition, all you need to do is unlock the bootloader and flash twrp which will root it. See the one stop shop rooting thread in general - it will point you in the right directions.
If it is not a Dev edition, there is currently no way to root.
Good luck
What did you search for? I find it odd that you weren't able to find any info on how to root a developer edition.
Lmao
No.
This is a stock XT1058 running 4.4.4 212.44.26.ghost_att.ATT.en.US (build KXA21.12-L1.26)
My parents have an older LG on 4.4.4 getting all sorts of Google play update errors. I'd like to give them this phone. I could use your help in confirming what I should put on it. I was hoping to get something 5.x on it, but I do see various threads with people having various issues with lollipop, even rolling back to 4.4.4. Hopefully the answer isn't to keep it at 4.4.4
If the answer is to keep it as is, are there any issues to note? Will it eventually have Google Play update errors since it is so old?
If the answer is to try a newer ROM, please link me. Especially if it is on Filefactory. I cannot seem to search on their site.... I would probably follow this thread:

Hey guys,
I am thinking of rooting my Motorola X 2nd Gen and so far I have found older and more outdated ways of rooting the phone.
I have never done anything like this with phones so I will need some guidance to make sure I don't mess anything up.
I have done some research and have watched many YouTube videos on how to root the phone but many of them show the phone with older versions of Android and in the comments it says that that way of rooting the phone will not work with 5.1. If it is useful, my phone is originally from AT&T and after I finished the two year contract with them I had them unlock it and I am not with Ting. Not sure if that info is necessary but might as well provide as much as I can.
Anyways, my question for you is if there are any guides to root my phone that are current and are proven to work.
I really appreciate your time and your help.
Let me know if I can provide any more information that will help you in helping me!

You need an unlocked bootloader for that.
Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNja2M6zc0
If you have an AT&T XT1097 and on the Android 5.1 08-01-2016 security patch, there currently is not a way to gain temproot in order to unlock the bootloader. We have to wait for tools like kingroot/kingoroot to be updated.

Hi all,
Im new to this website but not new to installing customs ROM's on phones. Its been a while but i did it years ago on my S3. Also, I know there are probably threads out there already for this so if this is just a redundant question please forward me to the right place b/c i haven't been able to find a clear answer on my own.
So here is my situation. I have a SM-G900A that I requested and unlock code from AT&T for and is now "unlocked" and I am running android 6.0.1. My girlfriend has a SM-G900V that is supposedly been unlocked by verizon and i moved over to my AT&T account and its working fine (with the exception of lack of LTE data). To my understanding it is not possible to flash a custom ROM on either of these if they are on anything post android 5.0 release. Is this true? I have not been able to find any custom ROM build that say they are made for these models and TWRP doesnt have a version specific to these either.
Has anyone successfully put customer ROM's/bootloaders on either of these 2 devices? I have really only used Cyanogenmod in the past and was very happy with it. But all i have seen is that people say that these 2 models are SOL if they have android v.6 on them.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Check the link below, the first 4 posts or so have the information on downgrading and rooting. I don't know about the Verizon version, the AT&T version bootloader is completely locked down so we can not flash a custom recovery like twrp. Flashfire works like a charm though. The custom roms are limited and pretty much lollipop variants. There is currently no root or custom Rom for marshmallow.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3516196
flashfire gives the error "Please update SuperSU to v.2.40 or newer" which I already have. I tried the older ones 1st and it gives the same error. I am not sure what to think about it except I got it to work before with the exact same files from what I recall. is there another proceedure perhaps?
Good evening for you all.
I'm an absolute newcomer to Huawei, as I had Motorola devices since 2014 :silly: I hope to adapt fast to this new device
For now, I want to start slowly. I found the device I bought is currently on Android 5.0.1, and found there is a way to update it to Android 6.0 officially. However, the tutorials what I could find on internet went into a death path, as the websites or files doesn't exist.
I'm currently using an ALE-L21, Compilation ALE-L21C40B181. I found there are differences between compilations and things like that, so... can someone bring me a hand with this? :victory:
Thanks in advance
Note: I found the phone is already Rooted. Curious thing.
