Would be nice to see this ported to other variants so we VS985 users don't have to wait for Verizon.

Well I will attempt to but I expect the same issues that we are having with F400S lollipop update. We haven't been able to get a port going yet

Would it be better to wait for a flashable ROM as if we do an OTA update we might not be able to get root back for a while... (different boot loader)?

exciting
I am excited. Of course I'm in Australia so thr chances of it rolling out to me in a hurry is slim, but as with all things phone related its a matter of time. This just means that LG is keen to keep some marketshare goodwill. It also means that it will be sooner rather than later that the awesome devs in XDA take it and bake it better.

So next rom would be based on 5.0?

Since Poland users gave d855, would any d855 user be able to flash manually, given access to appropriate files? If yes, would it then be able to be put into a custom rom accessible to all (similar to how CloudyG3 allows me, a d850 user, to run 10n (which alone would be unflashable, if i am not mistaken))?

In theory yes. However im not flashing until a custom ROM is made. Root i can just about live without (I guess the kernel will need bumping).

I am from poland... Yesterday i got ota information about update but i dont know what update it was because i am on AndroidNow hd 2.4 and have bump! So i disable ota because i am afraid i will stock in recovery... Is a way to go back all to stock to take this ota? And if i get this the bump! And root toll may not work?

you can download ota and if it tells you it's 5.0 you can provide us the zip without flashing it
edit: aaaaand for you all to know you can't port it to other devices without proper kernel... different carriers have different partitions and kernels are built differently for each version thats why we can't port the f400s to d855 even if was able to boot the kernel it goes panic because of the incorrect partitions and configurations.. we need sources

[OTA] Moto G 2014 XT1064 v22.21.16.en.us (5.0)

New 22.21.25 update posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/ota-moto-g-2014-xt1064-v22-21-25-en-5-0-t2978653
Just got another OTA update. No change log on the update screen. New kernel compiled on November 27.
I don't have root to pull the update from cache since my display has issues that I plan on getting a warranty replacement for
Still need someone to use ADB and grab the OTA for this. My wife's phone is not an option right now...

I just received a system update to 5.0 Lollipop bringing the version to 22.21.16 as well, don't know what it did yet but hopefully it fixes some of the bugs I've noticed since moving up to lollipop.

it seems to have fixed the horrible memory management of the previous 5.0 rom
now to root it

I agree. Memory management is significantly better than it was. No more Chromecast apps getting closed while running in the background. Still running it through the paced, but it looks much better.

Did any of you have TWRP installed prior to updating? If so, what did you do to get back to stock recovery? I received the update this morning, but can't install it because I have TWRP installed on my XT1063 variant.

Can someone extract and post the boot.img?

Thanks for the reply! But is there a simpler way? Maybe a way to flash it via fastboot? Because root doesn't seem to play too well with my device. Keeps getting bootlooped and i know it's supposed to bootloop with the recent versions of SuperSU but it just doesn't wanna boot up.

Assuming the modified boot image for Root on 22.11.6 will not work with the update, and also assuming the boot.img will be overwritten with the update..loosing Root..
So we will be at the mercy of someone compiling a new boot.img.?

I found that flashing SuperSU caused a bootloop as well and was about to give up. But then I did it one last time and wiped cache in TWRP after flashing it. That time it worked!
The method I linked to get stock recovery back requires root.
If you can find a download of stock recovery from some random website, you can flash stock recovery through fastboot with fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img

Tried applying update via recovery but failed with signature verification
Any suggestions? This is Consumer Cellular version XT1064 which had retail lollipop version flashed earlier

The hosted version by Neko is 22.11.6, not 22.21.6

[MoFo] XT1096 and AT&T XT1097 - Do NOT take the 5.1 OTA if you want to keep root

We can stay on the 5.0/5.0.2 bootloader (motoboot.img) and partition table (gpt.bin) and flash rooted 5.1 images using MoFo as well as the 5.1 kernel and radios using fastboot. Details for the XT1096 are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61685122&postcount=46
Do not take the 5.1 OTA - flash manually!!!
If you upgrade to the 5.1 bootloader and partition table - YOUR COPY OF MOFO.EXE WILL NO LONGER WORK FOR YOUR DEVICE!!!!

There was a little bit of weirdness when I flashed the rooted image and tried to go into recovery to wipe cache - the dead android kept flashing at me and I couldn't get into the recovery menu. So then I flashed the 5.1 recovery. It is working fine now. I think I will flash back to 5.0 and then reflash it to see if that happens again.

Excellent news! Thanks @JulesJam!
We all learned a lot with our prior MoFo experience, so here's hoping the features are added to the 5.1 ROM with less troubleshooting this time.

Where is the rooted copy you used?

Can the mofo crew just update the binary to read the new gpt?

I am not sure what you are talking about.
MoFo.exe relies on an exploit to trick the bootloader to allow you to flash an unsigned system image. According to maiko1, the exploit was patched in the 5.1 bootloader. Supposedly he is working on trying to find an exploit in the 5.1 bootloader that he can use to do the same thing but only time will tell if he can find one.

I didn't post it anywhere yet b/c of the issues I was having. @mikeoswego has a rooted image that he baked useful features into. When he posts his, I will just flash that and see how it works. He has a thread in the Android Development section of this forum where he posts his images.

I thought it was that it could not verify your device because of the way it read your info on the device. I assumed he used a zero day he had to attack the verification step of fastboot. I had thought about attacking in this manner. I mean, without busybox, can we try normal Linux shell privilege escalation attacks for this kernel version just like a desktop Linux machine? Are there any previous root methods and how they were obtained? I still say at this point, it would be great to be told what the exploit was, even without code.

So it was specific to the bootloader, do we know at which version it became patched?

Its worked on all versions from 4.4.4 on up but according to maiko1, not on 5.1.

I think if the exploit has been patched, he should release what the exploit was as there is no harm at this point in releasing that information. Someone should ask him to do that.

The exploit was posted awhile ago according to jcase. What maiko didn't do was post his code for mofo because he owns that. If you want more info pm or tweet jcase.

Yes, use DOWNGRADE script

I tested the downgrade script yesterday. It does his job, but after that there are no OTA's possible because of the missing modem downgrade.
I fixed it for a fully downgrade: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B134drJ4-Ed0MHQ5aE1wUmp5eFk/view?usp=drivesdk
Use that file only with a unlocked Bootloader!!!!!

I donwngrade and install again firm and ota and perfect no problem

Can we get this to work on the normal moto z?

Thanks so much, works fine. Don't like nugat, too much battery drain and memory use compare to MM, so I'm back to 6.0.1 now

Did this work even if the bootloader is already on Nougat? Or does this only work on MM bootloaders?

It now restarts over and over again and displays "Erasing" with the green Android icon.

I have a Koodo (which is owned by Telus, and on the same tkpca software channel) Moto Z Play, and I've recently sideloaded the Nougat OTA from this thread here. Everything works just fine, but I've realized this might affect me getting future OTAs from my carrier. If I were to download the last Marshmallow firmware from Telus and downgrade using this script, would I run into any issues with this script? Would I run into any issues with OTA updates as well? I'm considering downgrading so I can obtain future OTAs through my carrier again.
Edit: Downgrade to Marshmallow using the included DOWNGRADE FIRMWARE.bat was successful. Thank you very much for writing this script.

This worked for me perfectly, I used @-=MoRpH=-'s version from the comments

Will this work from a stable LOS install? Is it possible to then sideload OTAs?
EDIT: Nevermind, I should learn to read.

It does work for moto z 1650-03?

[Discussion] OTAs on Rooted Huawei/Honor phones- Confirmed

Saw many post from new users and senior members as well and most of the time there are lot of confusion on the OTA part, especially for the rooted phone. Few says it gets (I am one of them) and few says it doesn’t as rooting capabilities modifies the system boot.img and also we have unlocked bootloader so device wont get the OTAs. I have been using the Huawei/Honor phones for 2 years now and have been getting all the OTAs on rooted phone and confirmed the same many time but still there are lot of confusion and users thinks they wont get OTA on rooted phone.
Just confirming here that you will receive OTAs on rooted phone without any issues. This is 2nd update on my phone since rooted in past 2 months.

Note- I am not using any firmware finder or other things for this as I dont trust on FF as it messed my Honor 5C in February and I given up on it.
Instructions-
If you are rooted but then rolled back to stock recovery, just download the OTA and update.
If you are rooted with TWRP recovery, flash the stock recovery first and then download the OTA to update. (TWRP wont be able to update OTA)

My phone is with modified boot.img by magisk. It was just updated to B388 sucessfully without swithing back to stock boot.

It will remain intact. No data loss. Well Chris, i can confirm on the OTA part but you never know the unforeseen consequences. I mean can run into trouble sometimes as Huawei/Honor phones are prone to brick in seconds. I would say to not update in such scenarios.
