Background info:
Currently running LMY47I on Nexus 6 unlocked and rooted with TWRP recovery on TMO network. When I updated to 5.1, the process of manual install went without a problem. After a little while, LTE reception was really poor. After doing some research, I realized that LMY47M was the specific release for TMO users and updates access to the 700 MHz band which I think might resolve some of my problems.
The plan:
Downgrade to 5.0.1 LRX22C so I can manually update to 5.1 LMY47M.
The problem:
My Nexus 6 isn't recognized as an ABD device once the bootloader is rebooted (but it is when the device is on and normally booted). I've tried to uninstall and reinstall drivers manually as well as with Wug's Root Toolkit. Still no dice.
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

ADB is not used while in bootloader. You must use fastboot commands.

1) ADB commands are never recognized in fastboot. The correct command is "fastboot devices".
2) When you downgrade, do not downgrade your bootloader. Going from 5.1 bootloader to 5.0 bootloader then back to 5.1 bootloader could potentially lead to a brick.
3) The only files that the OTA looks at are system.img and boot.img, so these are all you need to fastboot flash.
Thanks all! User error confirmed.
I unlocked the bootloader on my XT1096 (verizon) Moto X 2014. Currently running stock 5.1 ROM.
What's the best way to get Marshmallow on? Can I use a ROM from another model? Do I need to flash a recovery? Thanks.

The only way to get Marshmallow on a verizon would be with a custom rom that supports CDMA. I know that CM13 supporta CDMA so that one would work.
And while yes you could flash the rom from another model like the xt1095, it would lose verizon signal since the other models are GSM instead of CDMA.

tomas1pit said in the bootloader unlock thread:
"if u want to convert your device dont forget about NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn. That is modem files. U should take them from official 5.1 image for xt1097 otherwise your network wont work"
Would I be able to flash the XT1095 stock MM image and then copy those files over, retaining Verizon signal?

tomas1pit is incorrect, if you look in other threads of people that have unlocked bootloaders with verizon, they lose signal completely if they convert to another model. He does not realize that xt1096 is CDMA, the NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn apply to GSM.
You can still get signal if you change to another model, but only if you put a sim chip in your phone for AT&T, T-Mobile, etc since those companies are GSM. The problem is that switching firmware makes it incompatible with verizon.
If you plan to stay with verizon, custom roms are your only choice. If you change to a GSM company then you can use the stock firmware from another model.

Roger. Thanks.
It took a few tries to get TWRP on... I had to use crpalmer's custom version, the regular version didn't work. I'll hunt around for a custom ROM. If anyone has any suggestions (as close to stock Android as possible) I'd appreciate it.

No problem. Your best bet would be to read the custom rom threads and see if any say they support cdma. Or post in the thread to ask the developer if it does.
The only one I know for sure works with verizon is CM13, since I have read that some verizon users have tried it and it worked for them. I assume that roms that are based off CM might work, but you know what they say about assuming... Anyway good luck finding a rom you like.

I unlocked the bootloader on Verizon xt1096 Android 5.1, installed latest twrp recovery and installed SuperSU and am rooted. Woot. Twrp is super useful! I'd just be careful with what you're flashing of course.
I couldn't get official TWRP to work, but this custom version worked for me:

Same situation. Just recently unlocked the bootloader on my XT1096 (Verizon Moto X 2). Trying to figure out how to get to Marshmallow (stock or rooted) but with Verizon radios. Can't seem to find XT1096/Verizon radios in a flashable zip.

Just a little humor. I have reached out to KidJoe here for some help. I also reached out to MotoCare and they are sending me a new MotoX (for me to tinker with some more).
I would suggest that we need to find a way to get the XT1096 to XT1095, while keeping factory bootloader to accept future OTAs. The VZW radios are out there, just will need to flash them via ADB if/when new OTAs come though.
So for right now, no other custom rom will work with the xt1096 unless somebody makes it specifically or customizes a different rom to suit it right?
CM13 and derived ROMS should work. There are other non-Marshmallow ROMs, I think.

Where did you get this? All the official TWRP builds throw a mismatched partition size error and won't install.
If I understand correctly, if I'm not using the phone on Verizon I can install any ROM?
crpalmer posted it in the CM12 thread.
I was able to get the latest TWRP installed. Took a few attempts.
i flashed mine with twrp it said the same thing when i fastbbot flashed it but it worked i just booted in recovery any ways and it worked
Thanks in advance for any information/guidance provided! Please bear w/ me, I am pretty new to all of this. I apologize for any incorrectly used terminology.
I have a Verizon Moto X 2014 (XT1096) that I have recently unlocked the bootloader and rooted via SuperSU and TWRP Recovery. When I opened SuperSU, I got an error message stating that I needed to update the binary, but it was unable to be done OTA. I used TWRP to sideload the binary zip file onto the phone's internal storage, which seemed to work fine.
Using the same method, I moved CM13 (01/14/16 nightly build) to the internal storage and followed the remaining steps in the process.
Jump ahead a few days (phone seems to be working great & am running on T-Mobile LTE perfectly) and now I have a few questions:
1. Is my phone for all intents and purposes, considered Pure Edition since I have unlocked BL and rooted the phone?
2. I can download nightly updates, but when I try to install them, the phone reboots/does not install the build.. How can I download and install the updates OTA?
3. Is it necessary for me to keep the TWRP recovery/backup zip file on my phone's internal storage? (wondering b/c phone is ony 16 gb and the backup used a large amount of available storage)
4. Is there any way for me to have stock Marshmallow on this phone instead of CM?
Thanks again and sorry for the likely horrible explanation.

1) No, you don't have a pure edition. The xt1095 is the pure edition. Nothing to do with the bootloader being unlocked or rooted. The xt1095 is called the pure edition because it is the only model that does NOT lose warranty after you unlock the bootloader. You have the xt1096, so when you unlocked it you voided the warranty.
2) The CM updates should work fine. Does it give an error?
3) What zip file are you talking about? Do you mean a backup of your system?
4) If you use verizon's service, no. If you use any other service such as tmobile or any other gsm company yes. If you don't use verizon service, you can flash the xt1095 marshmallow firmware. It will work 99%, the only thing that won't work is verizon service because verizon is CDMA.

2) No, it doesn't give an error. It shows a pop up message saying the phone will reboot into recovery mode to install the update. Note: this feature requires a compatible Recovery or the updates will need to be installed manually.
3) Where would I download the img apk for Android 6.0?

Since Droid Turbo XT1254 doesn't yet have stock Marshmallow from Verizon, I assume you are on a custom Marshmallow ROM or @iiWoodstocK Marshmallow Brazil ROM, based on the XT1225 stock Marshmallow ROM.
You flashed it with TWRP, which means your bootloader is unlocked.
You are still using Verizon's Lollipop radio and I assume you are still using Lollipop bootloader.
Just flash the Lollipop ROM of your choice.
If you want to go back to stock Lollipop, CF's ROM is very close or you can even flash stock image via adb or rsdlite.
IF for some reason you did flash the Marshmallow bootloader, then exclude GPT.bin from any flash commands. You can't downgrade bootloaders.
I flashed "aokp_quark_mm_unofficial_2016-10-02_0936"
I put this rom by TRWP from lollipop 5.1 verizon. I do not know if the bootloader was updated, I do not think.
Then I can go back to 5.1 verizon stock by Rsd
or fastboot?
Thank you for answers and sorry for the bad English ^^

Yes. You flashed AOKP ROM. You can go back to stock completely, but you would get stock recovery, not TWRP (until you reflashed TWRP).
You can also flash CF ROM (computerfreek274) which is tweaked stock-based Droid Turbo Lollipop. You wouldn't even lose TWRP.

On stock or stock-based ROM like CF, the light only comes on if you have a very low battery. It's not a message/email notification light on stock.
On the Quark, the "notification" light only works on a few CM-based custom ROMs. @bhb27 experimented and enabled it in Resurrection Remix and Bliss and AOKP maintainer uses his coding.
If you want that, and also Lollipop, then you would have to go to the Lollipop version of Resurrection Remix, which is not being updated anymore. It still works, and you can find it over in the other forum if you scroll down into the development threads -- but @bhb27 is focusing all his attention on current software.
This question is as close to mine as I can find so I hope posting here is OK.
I got the VZ OTA update (Before unlock and root) to marsh and it literally broke a few of the programs I use. Some of them will never get updates so that is out. So I would like to go back to 5. Because I did get the OTA to 6 is it possible to go back to 5? Yes I am unlocked and rooted. OR would trying one of the 7's be better?

If you are unlocked and rooted right now (I bolded that statement), yes you can downgrade firmware. But you have to omit gpt.bin in the commands. It's up to you if you wish to try Nougat custom ROMs but your question concerns older programs (apps) that need Lollipop, I thought.
Are there any comparable apps you can use? I don't know what functions these apps do, but if it's related to how the phone functions custom ROMs have many, many built in tweaks/options/enhancements.
I've seen lots of threads on stock latest Marshmallow MCG24.251-5 but when I look for radios, I seem to only find the latest lollipop radios. I'm running RR and have one of those flashed (MDM9625_104651.11.05.16.03R QUARK_CUST), but my wife is running stock Turbo and got Marshmallow OTA and has baseband version MDM9625_41.51.07.22.02R QUARK_CUST. Has anyone got this to flash? Is this a significant update? Is this something that would allow VoLTE? I'm surprised I'm not seeing it mentioned around, and sort of confused, so I suspect I might have something wrong? Please advise.

Yes. It's posted in latest Computerfreek274 Marshmallow thread. In the op.
The new Verizon Marshmallow radio for the Droid Turbo XT1254 only allows VoLTE the same way the Verizon Lollipop radio for the Droid Turbo XT1254 allows VoLTE -- to Verizon customers. And you have to be on stock Motorola firmware or a ROM based on stock firmware.
It also allows Wi-Fi calling, but again the same restrictions.
Won't give VoLTE nor Wi-Fi calling on CM-based custom ROMs and/or to non-Verizon users.
Won't do you any harm to flash it (you'll have the latest Verizon radio), but unless you are on stock or a ROM based on stock (like CF) and are also a Verizon customer you won't get VoLTE or Wi-Fi calling, at least until the CM ROM devs figure out the magic code.

If you are on a locked bootloader Droid Turbo, you don't need it.
@Sparksys, this file is the 6.0.1 Verizon Marshmallow radio + bootloader for the Droid Turbo XT1254.
If you have a locked or unlocked bootloader and have taken the 6.0.1 OTA for Droid Turbo XT1254, then you should already have this Verizon Marshmallow radio + bootloader. From previous posts, I see you took or somehow installed that OTA:

So, you should already have this radio & bootloader -- as does anyone else who took the 6.0.1 OTA. If the 6.0.1 OTA is not yet available for download to someone, they can install it through file found here on XDA.
NOTE: For people who haven't taken the Marshmallow OTA, PLEASE unlock your bootloader while you can on Lollipop. Grab your freedom! THEN, you can install the OTA.
The only reason you would need this 6.0.1 Verizon Marshmallow Droid Turbo radio + bootloader file is if you have an UNLOCKED bootloader Droid Turbo XT1254, were on a custom ROM, and did not take the Verizon Marshmallow OTA. You can still have the latest Verizon Droid Turbo 6.0.1 radio by flashing this file in TWRP.
That is why @RoboCuz was asking for the file. His wife is still on stock and got it through the OTA -- like you did. He has unlocked bootloader, was on a custom ROM and also wanted it.
And for people who don't like the performance or battery useage of the stock Verizon Marshmallow OTA, there's a debloated, tweaked, optimized version available:

One of the devs can answer this better, but as far as I know to reinstall any separate element on a locked bootloader Motorola phone you have to use RSD or ADB. With RSD, you need official entire firmware. ADB/fastboot you can install separate elements.
Possibly you can take the TWRP zipped file, unzip them and flash them in ADB? From what I read in one of the threads, on the Moto XT1225 the 6.0.1 radio comes in three separate files... so probably the same on the Droid Turbo XT1254?
