I have this working on an XT1060 with unlocked bootloader.
I flashed Brazil firmware, then updated OTA, then flashed modems. why was the 1053 instructions removed?

yes, you need to be on stock brazil rom.
i RSD's brazil's 4.4.4 then did the update to 5.0.2, then manually flashed the modems. Then i flashed TWRP, so now i am sitting on a regular rooted xt1058 5.0.2 moto x. The warning people are giving is that once you do this, like previous updates, you cannot RSDlite back to a 4.4.4 build. This is not an issue for us, as we can just flash stuff within TWRP, like krypton, for example.

Need a little help please:
I'm now on cm12, flashed over stock KK rooted (twrp, unlocked BL). I have a nandroid backup of my 4.4.4 rooted made before flashing CM.
If i restore that and then go to the RSD process, will I have any problems "downgrading"?

The only "downgrade" people are talking about is bootloader version. OS version does not matter.
If you were stock KK, then you probably have the KK BL which is the most recent BL besides the 5.0.2 release. Flashing the 5.0.2 release just means you can no longer flassh the stock 4.4 SBF package because that attempts to install the older bootloader. you can still flash the rom associated with the SBF package though twrp, if that makes sense

Very risky flashing a different carriers boot loader and gpt.bin.I would just wait a little bit longer.
Again, please be aware that if you flash another carrier/model 4.4.4 and flash the brazilian OTA, DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT try to downgrade back to your original stock model/carrier 4.4.4 to take the OTA meant for your device
These instructions are fairly easy to follow and people assume it's just as easy to get back where they started but it's not, if you flash the brazilian OTA then be prepared to wait for a leaked 5.0.2 SBF for your model/carrier, there's no guarantee that it will be leaked and even if it is you have to hope that the gpt/bootloader version is the same or newer than the ones in the brazilian OTA
It does work fine but know the risks and don't expect XDA to be able to fix everything

For those of us who are rooted, don't want to update parts of the OS, who want to stay on an older versions of updated OS files, or just are on a custom ROM, here is a flashable of the firmware updates (which include bootloader).
This updates your bootloader to version 3.15.

Nice work!
Quick question for you, will the bootloader and firmware updates persist after custom ROM updates or will I need to reflash each time?
for example, I'm running CarbonRom at the moment which is based on JSS15Q - I've flashed this zip without any problems but will I need to reflash it when I install the next nightly?
Cheers

It will persist. No need to reflash.

I should be more clear, in the example you gave, it will persist, but if you do something that will flash the bootloader like factory restore or its updates, the bootloader could change

Yeah, I should have been clearer as well - I was basically checking that custom roms don't flash the bootloader (I'd assumed that a factory restore / ota update would)

Quick queastion , I was on JSS15J when stock, flashed ROM that says now JLS36C. If I flash this will it erase everything and do I even need to? Thanks for the help.
It won't erase any user data. Whether you want to flash is up to you. You'll get it automatically if you wait for jls36g ota.

Goto the Confirmed Android 5.1 thread, around page 16, there is a mega link of a nadroid backup of 5.1 Brazil for twrp. Download it, extract it to the TWRP/backup folder, boot to recovery, backup your present ROM. Then restore the downloaded nandroid, wipe data, cache, and davlik cache only, reboot into system, profit. This way gpt and boot partitions remained in touched, and no need to revert to Brazilian KitKat, then to 5.0.2, then to 5.1 painful process.

Please don't! Many people bricked the device when trying to roll back from 5.X... If you install the soak test, it is better to wait for the final OTA update...
How to update
Yesterday I found out why in some cases when you place the file in the internal memory it doesn't work, you need to follow the updates sequence to make it work.
So from 4.4.4 you update to 5.0.2 (AKA .31):
Blur_Version.221.41.31.ghost_row.Brasil.en.BR
Then you apply this small patch that still 5.0.2 (AKA .38):
Blur_Version.221.41.38.ghost_row.Brasil.en.BR
And finally you apply the update to 5.1 (AKA .2)
Blur_Version.222.21.2.ghost_row.Brasil.en.BR
Happy flashing.
Kind regards,
Johnny

Yes. All OTA's have been incremental so far, and have a pre-flash validation check to ensure your phone is on the correct level, and if your phone isn't, it wont flash.
It doesn't surprise me that this follows that pattern especially based on its size

Thanks a lot for the kind warning. After posting this comment I went through many other posts, especially the one by KidJoe. Chances are quite real that one can hard-brick his device by downgrading then upgrading through OTA again.

For those were invited to the MFN Test or Soak, Moto has their IMEI, knows what is on their phone, and will push them the appropriate update to 5.1 final, hence this file's preflash check looking for a particular 5.02. Since we know of two different 5.02 versions (one for the Brazil xt1058 and one for the XT1053), there will be at least two different 5.1 versions that Moto will push to those on the MFN test/soak list.
For the those NOT invited, as in the past Moto will likely compile and push a 4.4.4 -> 5.1 OTA zip for each carrier/model which will have a preflash check looking for the 4.4.4 for the particular carrier/model.
For those that manually applied the 5.x leaks because they were NOT invited to the MFN test/soak, Moto will NOT have their IMEI to push a special version, they will be off stock 4.4.4, and so any 5.1 push from the carrier/moto will fail to install due to the preflash check. They'll either need to revert to 4.4.4 (where GPT.BIN/Motoboot.img have been the cause of many bricks in the past when downgrading, so its expected to continue to be risky going forward), or wait for a leak of the OTA zip they need, or wait for a leak of the 5.1 SBF for their carrier/model.
That is why some suggested if you're not part of the MFN invites, you should wait on installing the 5.x leaks.

[CANADIAN] Odin 5.1.1 Bootloader & TWRP Flashable Modem - SM-G925W8 BOI6 *UPDATED*
Thanks to @risx for grabbing the OTA zip to get the stuff we needed.
Prerequisit: You must be on a 5.1.1 compatible TWRP as well as a 5.1.1 rom when flashing these packages or your going to get stuck in a binary miss match. While there is a fix for this with out the W8 5.1.1 odin packages, it takes a lot of musical flashing. So be sure to be on a compatible 5.1.1 rom, Kernel and TWRP first.
As always, you flash at YOUR OWN RISK. I will of course try to provide support if I am online, If you appreciate how much the pain in my butt was, and you didn't have to do this your self. Click Donate.
The Bootloader MUST be flashed via ODIN 3.10.X or higher. in the BL slot. Hence why its a tar. Sorry no flashables, Samsung locks the boot loader areas to everything but their own signed recovery, from their own signed update.zip
BOH8 BL
BOI1 BL
BOI6 BL *LATEST*
The modem is TWRP flashable
BOH8 Modem
BOI1 Modem
BOI6 Modem *LATEST*
You can get ODIN 3.10.6 HERE

Thanks @risx for the update.zip file. You made our day!!

No, you must be on a 5.1.1 compatible TWRP as well as a 5.1.1 rom to flash this or your going ot get stuck in a binary miss match. and there will be no fix for this untill the ODIN package is released by samsung, this usually follows days to weeks after an OTA.

this separate bootloader and modem are not for people who wish to stay stock. for you, you should wait for the ota. This is for people who are already on 5.1.1 roms who wish to have the proper bootloader and modem. There would be no purpose for you to install this if you wish to stay on rogers 5.0.2 and then get their ota when its released.
I have been having problems with the BOH8 modem and XtreStoLite 2.3
There is a delay in receiving txt & my incoming calls randomly sometimes go straight to voicemail.

I was on the stock debloated rom which seemed fine but I couldn't get it to root with superuser or magisk.

Yes u need to flash through twrp... And I think its rootable
.67 is for the Indian G5+, but works on the US variant (RETUS). .35-5 is the most current firmware and .43 is for Verizon users (fixes call/VoLTE issues) of RETUS but is a March security patch instead of May like .35-5. The .67 has a different kernel source and March security patch. I'd go with .35-5. It's available here. But none of these are flashable through TWRP. You can fastboot though...

You lose recovery if you flash through fast boot though right? And so the one posted above you through retus isn't compatible with twrp?

I believe the one posted above linked via gdrive is flashable through TWRP and was created by @GtrCraft and is based off RETIN or RETUE. You loose TWRP, but fastboot it right back.
I was just trying to help answer your original question about the most up to date RETUS firmware. Moto has made it difficult to track with all the variants.

Thanks for all. What is the fasboot command to flash a zip?
My apologies if this isn't the right place to ask, but the discussion seems to be right in line with my issue. I'm running -35 (RETUS), rooted (SuperSU) and TWRP. I got the notification to update yesterday, and being partly distracted by screaming kids, I accepted.
It, of course, failed. But more importantly, now any power/boot cycle dumps me into TWRP every time. The only way back to the OS is to boot to bootloader and click "start". I honestly could care less about the security update (as I'm sure a TWRP friendly version is on the horizon). But having to go through the bootloader to simply power up/reboot the phone is a royal PITA.
Is there a quick fix to the hook that seems to redirect to the recovery? As bad as that is, I'd live with it if it means I don't have to wipe and start from scratch.

I'd start from scratch and make a backup of your current now, flash stock .35-5 that I linked above with RSDlite (update if on Verizon - your choice), fastboot TWRP again and restore. I accidentally did it with .35 and this was the process I did to get out of bootloop recovery hell. Hope that helps...
I posted the .43 update if you don't get the update and required it for Verizon.
