. I downgraded a galaxy S5 running on cm13 to cm5.1.1 without any issues. I just flashed it using CWM Recovery. I don't know if can be done on Moto g2nd gen without bricking. I think the bricking problem is only if you downgrade using the stock OTA firmware.

There is a downgrade protection that does not let you flash previous firmware which is only bypassed by boot loader unlocked. There currently is no way to relock until newer firmware comes out.
My patience has wore thin day by day.
What's the heck wrong with Motorola?
I think they were working on the memory issue before re-releasing the OTA update. Still, I'm surprised it's taking them this long.

did you install lollipop ? did you have the 21.11.23 version?

No i didn't, one of my 2 G stuck on the 21.11.23. However, I just have a chat with a motorola customer service. Giving them the IMEI, and he/she confirms me that the batch update for my specific phone will be delivered within next-week, which is not a so bad news.
So if you're out of patience. It's a good way to contact Motorola
Let's hope that s/he tells you the truth.
Please let us know on or before 1/19, which is Monday after next week.
All fingers crossed.
Makes me glad I did not wait. Been on 5.0.1 for 3 weeks now
I can't wait too, it's making me so frustrated, hope they release it soon...
LOL
How sick Motorola is!
Others do have 5.0.2 and a lot of us still stuck with 4.4.4.
Even the older version of XT1063 does have Lollipop but the new ones.
Beautiful!
Alright, there is a new, hopefully it's a good news.
I don't know when it was happening but this morning, I checked my dad's xt1063 (21.11.13) and bam, there is an update to 22.21.28. I have not updated it yet, will do after work.
Also, I haven't checked my mom's xt1063 (also running 21.11.13) so I don't know the update is only on Dads or both.
Will report later.
As I expect the unexpect, my Dad's is ready to go but my Mom's is still stuck with 21.11.23. LOL
Weird!
Hell, it's ugly.
I wouldn't do it on my Mom's even when update is available.
try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q8oTgd1G0s and let us know (read the video comments for updated info)
yeaah
hello i just got receive the update message on my xt1063 21.11.22 but i choosse "later" because i am root, should i have to unroot firt before update or not?

Not really. And Blur is just an OTA-update. It won't help you to restore the device if you flashed another ROM.
But here's the full ROM (flashable through fastboot).

Its KitKat.
But after you install the ROM, you should get the OTA for lollipop
I found a faster download (filefactory is like a snail):
https://mega.co.nz/#F!29RX1L6I!gfxcXgqkAhf5GDhr_aPGYg
And if you have TWRP as recovery, give The Titan Prime ROM a shot. Based on stock, better memory handling and debloated

I am currently running Titan Prime but for some reason it won't recognize my SIM card saying "Error while searching for Network"
also on my original Moto G I tried downgrading from a Brazillian Soak Test back to KITKAT and I PERMA BRICKED THE PHONE
so is this safe? Wanna try for me

There's always the chance of bricking the phone.
I went from kitkat to lollipop to kitkat to lollipop without problems ( I have a XT1068, flashed a XT1064 ROM, jumped to lollipop and went back to XT1068 kitkat. now running cm12.1.
I really tried hard but I couldn't brick the phone).
Once you are back to stock-kitkat and received the ota to lollipop, Titan Prime and every other lollirom should work like a charm.

[Q] Custom ROM + Fully Rooted.

Hey,
I would like some help from you guys.
It's been a while since I put a custom rom on my previous phone.
So if possible I would like a comprehensive explanation.
Right now I have Emui 3.1 installed on my P7 L10.
I would like to install a custom rom but I'm not sure I got my bootloader unlocked.
If possible I would like to know how to unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom with full root.
I did some research already on the internet but all the explanations are so short.
The rom I want to have installed on my P7 L10 is the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/development/rom-rom-v3-1-emui-3-0-t2977409
I hope someone want to help me with this.

I'm afraid you will not be able to install that rom, since it is meant for emui 3.0 not 3.1
The only working custom ROM for lollipop is the Miui rom and that's it. All the other Roms are based on kitkat.

Isn't it possible to downgrade from 3.1 to 3.0?
And even if my bootloader is locked to 2.3??

It is possible and there are many guides out there which tell you how to unlock your bootloader. Just don't try to flash that rom while on lollipop.

I know, but I think the guides are not detailed enough of the download links are not working.
Just ignore that it says b805, because it works with all of lollipop firmwares.

[HELP] Need root for Samsung S5 Active ATT in 5.0

There is no root meethod for the AT&T bootloader therefore no root. If you had used the search you would have found dozens of other people asking the same thing.
If anyone discovers a method how to root that phone you can be sure it will be published here and everybody will now. For now all I can refer you to is my thread on how to update the phone to the latest Marshmellow update (but that might prevent you from installing any root that is based on Lollipop in the future).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g870a-updates-ph4-t3494717
EDIT: Actually there is a root method https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...w-to-update-to-g870aof2-5-0-keeproot-t3161733 for very old firmware versions. Still there are no custom roms that I know of.

Thanks a lot for reply, after a looooong search I have found this: http://www.droidviews.com/update-att-galaxy-s5-active-to-lollipop-root-it-and-enable-wifi-tethering/
So, I do that and now, I'm in Android 5.0, with baseband G870AUCU2BOF3 and happily rooted. But I have a question, Can I update to Marshmallow following your thread?
Thanks a lot again.

You can but you will lose root. There is currently no root method for Marshmallow.
Hello.
I was just wondering how exactly you did this? You downgraded to 5.0, and rooted from there? Can you explain to me what you did to root the G870A?
