Many people were asking for the TWRP backup of the unmodified system and boot partitions of the Indian stock lollipop 5.1 Motorola ROM. Here I uploaded the untouched system and boot partition backups of the stock ROM.
The backup was made using latest TWRP 2.8.7 for condor so the same recovery is recommended for restoring the backup.
How to restore:
Download the RAR file and extract it to your computer.
Copy the TWRP folder to the root of your internal storage.
Reboot into TWRP and tap "Restore".
Choose the backup and restore both system and boot.
Wipe cache, data and dalvik.
Reboot into system.
First boot takes a lot of time so be patient.

hello nilanko,
thanks for the ota.
could you plz elaborate the bugs you're facing on this rom.
i read that 1080p videos aren't working. any other bugs ?
i wish to make this 5.1 ota as my daily driver and im on a limited bandwidth,so i cannot download and test it myself.if any major bugs exist then i would stay on my current stock 4.4.4.
even i had got the email for 5.1 soak test and the email and the subsequent survey was like "this should be kept confidential.the ota update shouldn't be uploaded on public forums etc" . how about that ?
@nilanko
I ve restored the backup that jonaaa provided, i was on stock 5.0.2+13+7+Rooted when i restored the backup!
I wanted to restore the Indian fwll backup that u provided! So all i need to do is wipe all the partitions n then restore yr backup , right?

No slow downs for me actually, there are prblms like applocks don't work(temp fix only Clean master applock works), battery is better in CM, Other than that Animations like that stuff is fluid i mean the dialer part is great they have to fix that in CM( Mainly for Msim users) i'll go back to CM.... Does 1080p videos play on CM smoothly i don't so coz i tried some of them some files play smoothly and others don't...

4.4 you can downgrade i think, u talking about cm11 or stock kitkat?. If cm11 its fully safe as u are flashing by recovery, remember @nilanko @jonaaa you have upgraded so the bootloader may be upgraded as someone said it was, be carefull full now,,, [emoji14]

SIM related problems like vanishing of E and H symbols and vanishing of data enabling option (can only be fixed by rebooting but problem starts after a few minutes again), 1080p videos not supported by the kernel anymore (c'mon Moto, its not gonna burn the processor!), applocks not working (this indicates that there's something seriously wrong with this ROM because it indicates that problems can arise with apps which work in a similar way to applocks), etc.

Bugs elaborated above. Well, we waited enough. They have been soak testing lollipop for the past 6 months. This has been the longest test ever. It doesn't really take this much time. It hardly takes 2-3 weeks generally. But I guess Motorola developers are really lazy or I don't know what they are. For instance look at our custom ROM developers, they are fixing things day and night sacrificing their free time. They aren't getting anything in return yet they are so fast and I bet we will have Android Milkshake even before Motorola thinks of it for its products. It's high time and we are not going to keep anything "confidential". I mean its funny, are they putting their personal bedroom pics with their wives in the OTAs that we are supposed to "hide" them from the world?! Even if links are removed from here, I will still continue distributing it and you are free to PM me or contact me on social networks. My name is Nilanko Halder and I am the only one with that name on Earth so I can easily be found

I have tried high bitrate videos too. If they lag, I use BSPlayer. It has its own hardware decoding engine and it works better than stock decoder.

thanks for the reply.
i would request you to suggest a lollipop rom with ability to support gravitybox network mode selection (2g only, 3g only).
I use Bsnl in sim 1 and Aircel in sim 2 .
Aircel is mostly used for data and I use data on Bsnl only where Aircel network isn't available.
does KitKat and above don't support default 3g only/2g only settings or is it Motorola who hasn't modified the settings ?
i have used 2.3.6,4.1,4.0.4 and on these 3g only,2g only options are present, though the phones I used weren't moto.
during traveling and in my home the 3g only/2g only options are a must for me.
you had only told me about gravitybox network mode (by commenting on my thread in Q/A section a few months ago).
I tried aicp but after choosing options in gravitybox I got bootloop.
I tried pure aosp but before me installing xposed, that rom was buggy so left it.
so I'm on stock 4.4.4 from the beginning and like the material design of lollipop.
P.S :- I think that E and H vanishing issue even I was facing after installing soak 5.0.2 .
does this 5.1 soak shows sim name/number below each sms so as to differentiate to which sim the message arrived (pure aosp wasn't showing that).

swapping sim cards is also not a feasible solution every time.

Yes...its a performance improvement issue....too much processor cycles were being used up for that animation
You can get that animation by dragging down the notification panel I think
Is there any RAM usage improvement after installing KitKat?
I installed 4.4.2 update last night. Given the news around KitKat being designed for low spec phones, I assumed that it will reduce the amount of used RAM on all phones.
I didn't notice any change: I've got 363MB Free (and am running Facebook->Most heavy!!, Whatsapp, Llama, Avast!)

Is anybody having issues with network connectivity after the update?
I did the update last night and my second SIM was disconnected when I woke up in the morning.
Today, the network went off in both SIM's for some time, and I had to toggle airplane mode on and off to restore connectivity.

I also has same issue actually after switching data or after connecting back too data from Wi-Fi. I think this is a known bug as can found in Motorola forum. As temporary fix just make airplane mode on then off.

I'm rooted and on TWRP recovery. Tried flashing stock recovery and installing the ota but the ota fails :S
Can anyone tell me how to extract the ota files from cache ? All I see there is a 4mb zip file which when I try to flash I get an error.
ota wont work with root, exposed and such. BL unlocked is ok. This ota has been problematic there are instructions on how to take it.
In my case I just flashed from scratch Lolipop 5.1 for moto x 1058 rogers, then took OTA . Then twrp ,root...
I'm kinda trying to avoid losing everything every time motorola pushes an update.
I wouldn't need to be rooted if they fixed their ****ty bugs like the cell services taking 40% of the battery...
I hear you man. You are on point, I noticed this Ota fixed my non ability to hang up calls

Flash service ROM native to your existing verison, but take only four partitions: system, kernel, recovery, modem (very important to have all 4 genuinly intact), and OTA will install easily. Use mfastboot to flash partition files.
AT&T XT1058? Search for XT1058_GHOST_ATT_5.1_LPA23.12-21.1_cid1_CFC.xml.zip on XDA, or google.
Canadian XT1058 has this one service ROM: XT1058_GHOST_RCICA_5.1_LPA23.12-15_cid14_CFC.xml.zip

But I wouldn't recommend to receive OTA. On unlocked bootloader you can install any custom ROM with vulnerability patched already.
Don't mix official, and non-official way to treat smartphone - kinda general advice. Latest OTA can break the security zone, and you'll loose ability to play with ROMs.
Advice on which ROM to try? Only thing I care about is the active display thing. So the must haves is active display or similar, and the ability to update without losing all my data. I'm not big on having to re-do everything, including my android wear settings/apps.

Check this topic, or you can try experimental ROM (baked by Crash][), version for TWRP install. Both variants are stock based, so incompatibility should be minimal.
Cache wipe can be done freely, but don't wipe data or internal storage - you'll loose your information. Make a full TWRP backup first, and save it on external media
First, what you do to your phone is your responsibility, etc., etc.
I am not a developer. The work is mostly not mine. A group of folks have been playing with this for a couple weeks over in the General section, and thanks to a great deal of help from others, it is ready to put out there. Hopefully, a developer can polish it and work out the few kinks there are. I will continue to explore and experiment. but this feels like a daily driver at this stage!
1. Gather the files needed as listed in the instructions.
2. I was on the BPA1 modem.
3. I wiped the phone completely. Everything but the micro sd.
4. Install Nameless Rom available at Er. Aditya's thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-nameless-mm-lightfastdeodexed-t3363547
5. Install Louforgiveno's Verizon data fix (attached).
6. Install AEL kernel available here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636001208
7. Reboot. It will take 15 minutes or so to finish the boot and may reboot during the process. Be patient. Once the phone boots completely, and you go through setup, it will take a few minutes to establish connection to the network, but it has been solid for me once it does. This occurs each time you boot.
8. Reboot into recovery and flash Chainfire's SU available here (the kernek will wipe it): https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
Alternative kernel posted by Kcnycity: H-Vitamin kernel found here http://sharewidget.org/forum_xda-developers/note-4/snapdragon-dev/kernel-h-vitamin-t3364213. I found that I lost brightness control with this kernel on my dev edition, but not my retail. Which raises another point raised by douger1957. I think we had assumed that the dev phones and retail are the same, but the experience has varied across a number of users, so it is a trial and error process for each phone to find the best combination for your device.
ALTERNATIVE ROM: Try Dr. Ketan S7 rom here (for 910G) : http://www.drketanrom.com/n910g.html
Use the H-Vitamn kernel. Looks flawless so far. Network access is faster. And theme engine!
I had forgotten how much fun this can be!
Thanks go to:
Louforgiveno, without whom this would not be happening
Er. Adiytya and his team, who allowed me to use his port
KeTuRr74, who pointed us in the right direction for the data fix
FYI, at least two other roms from the Snapdragon forum will work with this process.
Known issues with this version:
1. Verizon Message Plus works but does not complete the subscription process. (Update: After about 14 hours, Message + has synced).
2. Slow to connect to network
Did you have to install the bootloader/ modem like it's stated in the OP on the ROM page or just the ROM itself followed by the data fix, kernel, and submit update?

It should be noted that there seems to be differences in how the ROMs from the Snapdragon forum behave, depending on whether your phone is a Developer Edition or a converted Retail Edition. It's suspected that there are different bootloaders at play.
Also, try to make sure that you give thanks to louforgiveno and keturr74. Both have been a big help in bridging the gap between Verizon phones and the other Snapdragon variants.
Did you try installing mm s7 port ?

The BPA1 modem has been very successful on this port. I have clocked over 78 mps in a strong location. I have both the Dev edition and an unlocked retail and it has worked on both

Dr Ketan's? I'm going to install that this weekend.
I messed with this a bit last weekend with Keturr's ROM. louforgiveno's data fix came in too late in the weekend and I had to recover to Jasmine. Everything I got to try with Keturr's ROM worked, other than data.
For what it's worth... for those who feel married to TouchWiz because of S Note, it's now available in the Play Store.
I couldn't get data or signal to stay at all. And when I went to add my Google account, it would completely shut the phone off. Had to restore back to a previous twrp restore to fix anything. And that was on a clean install.

I tried the method in the OP but with the kernel the phone rebooted itself 3 times navigating the playstore and the nameless control panel so i wiped it and flashed H-Vitamin kernel and its been working flawlessly.
I got it working but does this not having theming? Are there any with theming and screen mirroring support?
I thought MM was coming to 910V but it wasn't what I expected XD
Title is kinda misleading

Marshmallow is coming to the N910V. But when? If you want Marshmallow now and not on Verizon's schedule, this is how you do it. I didn't see anything misleading. This is posted in the Development thread and not in General, where you'd expect to see an announcement about official Marshmallow.
The OP and others did quite a bit of work to bring TouchWiz Marshmallow options to our phones. To them, I extend my thanks.

Interesting I was getting a ton of reboots launching apps too I might have to try this.
Does anyone know what other MM roms work? I was looking for one with the theme engine.
So can we flash the kernel on any aosp based rom like cm13? I'm almost positive we can but want to make sure I didn't miss anything.

H-Vitamin kernel found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/kernel-h-vitamin-t3355879
---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------
Also as a side note after you flash the H-Vitamin kernel it will overwrite root access simply reboot into recovery after you go through the first boot up setup and flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 and you will have root back.

A little backgroud:Like most of the users of Redmi Note 3,I have been at wits end to get volte working on the recent versions of global developer rom.Post 6.9.22 I wasn't able to use volte and since the feature was essential to me,I would revert back to 6.9.22 global developer rom.
Soultion:Here is an easy way that would help you guys to get volte up and running on the recent versions of MIUI.I backed up my 6.9.22 rom using TWRP ZCX,since I had volte working on it.I installed the version 6.10.27(since it was on my laptop,tested on 6.11.3 as well..screenshot enclosed)using TWRP ZCX,then restored the modem and efs from 6.9.22 that I had backed up.Volte is up and running.No issues so far.Will update this if I face any issues.
Result so far:Volte is working flawlessly on 6.11.3.In fact it is better than in 6.9.22,where you had to delete the APN to get volte.Also no issue of data being on at the time of volte,like it was in some earlier builds.Posting a screenshot as well.
Anyway to install 6.11.3 using twrp ??
i havnt faced any volte issue, m always on latest beta.

I will recommend TWRP ZCX as I have tried it multiple times.Most recently I flashed 6.11.3 yesterday.On TWRP alka I got a soft brick.So I can't say if TWRP will work properly.

There is a minority of people on MIUI forums also who say what you are saying.I have even tried clean flashing on my device,but it doesn't work.As I said you are the lucky few.For the rest of us it has been 6.9.22 all the way.At least till yesterday.Hopefully the developers will find a permanent fix.I am not complaining as the fix I posted yesterday is working flawlessly.

anyways i barely use miui forum so no idea about it, and builds are perfectly fine because we all downlods frm same servers, issue may be device specific or may b large batch of devices are affected frm it, btw global beta releases for RN3 qualcom were suspended after 6.10.13 bcoz few major bugs have been reported on few of the devices, may be you r one of them.

I myself suspect the same.Maybe some differences in device hardware.Global dev 6.11.3 has been released yesterday for Redmi Note 3 after being suspended for a few weeks.I was on 6.9.22 and initially downloaded the ota zip and dirty flashed it.Lost volte.Then reverted to 6.9.22 and decided to do something.lol.Can you tell me which version you last used fast boot ROM of?Just curious.I just yesterday saw a mod telling a poster that volte is working fine on beta 6.9.22 and global stable 8.0.6(haven't tried that..tried 8.0.5 but volte wasn't working).They are well aware of the issue.That confirms that there is one.
PS:Also if you dirty flash to 6.11.3,please do post your experience here.Whether volte works normally.

as i can see in screenshot above, you are using 2 gb variant, and i use 3gb variant, we are on different soc so it quite obivous that we will have different experiences. i still wonder wat kind of problem you are talking about because i never suspected anything like that.. i flashed 6.8.x as a last fastboot rom, afterwards i do dirty flashes, i used boot image patcher previously but nw i do it with zcx twrp. and 6.9.22 was quite stable build for me.. i didnt noticed any bug in anything. i hv jst flashed 6.11.3, its booted up, and seems fine to me as well.
Edit: Everytime i flash beta builds, i need to flash super su, xposed, few mod zips as well... and i have toremove bloatwares and few xiaomi core apps too everytime.. after all these efforts the rom becomes so smooth and fast to play with.

I didn't know you have a 3Gb variant.One thing is clear to me now that there is a definite issue with certain devices and I own one of them.As is evident we have a slightly different hardware configuration.But thankfully not a big deal now as I have it working flawlessly and xiaomi can take its own sweet time.Enjoy the new update.
I have still not got the software update which was released a week ago or maybe some more days

I emailed the customer care regarding this. They said it could take some time as the software is released according to the imei numbers of the smartphones.

Ready to but dont know how and i am not rooted because there are too many unsolved questions regarding rooting methods for me. Like which recovery to use and why there is need of custom boot what happens if we dont flash custom boot. Along with some users reporting wifi not working even after flashing wlan fix. Whay there is no proper common rooting method where user can flash any type of su they want
