Location Fix Thanks to @oluwaponmile
Anyone having issue with their network location should flash the file in the link below to resolve the issue. Network location aware apps (e.g. Beautify Widgets) uses the network location API provided by Google Play Service to determine the current location even when you're indoor.
The flash will do the following:
1. Delete the NetworkLocation_Baidu.apk in /system/app
2. Set your phone to use Google network location as against baidu network location hard-coded into the framework.
Had to fix the framework to use "com.google.android.location" via the google play service API in the string.xml and in the array xml file as against "com.baidu.map.location" coded into the rom

Last Install Procedures Thanks @Walter.White​
@Walter.White Alright guys here is an update Flash it and report back https://mega.co.nz/#!VBQjFQYa!zxaXv9aMxt0ILh90jAQUOd_iNuk0jcWIUt3y8cFgC2w
EDIT: Right after You Install the Rom, Install the this NFCFIX.zip and then Install this ATT_Norma_Beta_Stable_Airplane_AutoSignal_HotspotTethering_Fix.zip To get data working
Also once one of you flashes the update can you please post a picture of your "Mobile Data Setting Page" (long pressing mobile data toggle will take you there directly)???
P.S. First you will have to flash NC2 kernel so that SS shows up and then once you are done flashing the rom, make sure to flash the 4.4.4 (NJ5 or NL1 kernel)[/QUOTE]

@sapps Install Steps Thanks!! (Post 95)
Here's where I came from....about a week ago i tried to use beta 3. So i did the whole root nj5 thing. It didnt work well for me so i did the full nc2 odin restore. Since then i had been running alliance rom on full nc2.
Tonight i rebooted to SS.
1. Wipe..adv wipe...check all but external sd card. x2
2. Advanced..file manager..
a. Delete all folders on my external sd card that i didnt create... (android.secure....lost.dir...etc)
b. Navigate to data/media/0 and delete the whole folder. (Be careful with this one because you can lose SS if you delete the wrong thing.
Sidenote.....do you have to do all that, i dont know. But i know im as clean as i can get doing it that way.
3. Flash rom and then fix
4. Back out to main SS screen and hit reboot.....download
5. start odin and put all three files in their proper place.
6. Connect phone to computer and wait till it shows the com connection.
7. Press start
Phone rebooted...took about 5 minutes on boot logo the lock screen (iirc)
8. Settings....wifi...login to home wifi
9. Accounts. Put in google account.
10. Open play store and down load app linked by walter
11. It found my sim and asked if i wantes to search for apn. I said yes and choose att phone when it came up.
12. Checked the settings (they were close to what walter typed but had a few more liated in the type part)
13. Add to apn (top button not the one with root.)
All done.

Using this you can taste the preview build of Android 6.0 Marshmallow on your Moto G 2014. This method is very simple as compared to other one which lengthy & involves converting your device model into XT1069 model & later on flashing appropriate modem files. This method just involves downloading the TWRP backup, placing it in your phone & restoring it. No need of PC.
As this is a preview or "test" build of 6.0 it may contain 6.0 specific or Motorola specific bugs present in this ROM. You may face occasional lags, stutters, incompatibilities, force-closes, reboots once in a while on your Moto G 2014 model. This TWRP Backup contains system files of Brazil XT1069 which were flashed on Global XT1068 model & later backed up using TWRP 2.8.6.0.
This backup works on all Moto G 2014 models.Tried & Tested On XT1063 : Global Single SIM, XT1064 : US/Canada Single SIM, XT1068 : Global Dual SIM & XT1069 : Brazil Dual SIM.

If you dont have it follow these below methods, only then proceed further.

Update Bootloader
By Flashing Latest Stock Firmware : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-5-0-2-lxb22-46-t3019612
By Flashing Latest Bootloader : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/bootloader-update-t3060007
Steps
Go in TWRP recovery > Tap on Backup > Select backup location from top bar > Select "System + Boot + PDS" > Swipe to Backup > Go Back > Reboot to system. This process will create TWRP directory inside Internal Storage or External SD card depending what you have selected.
Download the 6.0 TWRP backup file (615MB) zip from here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3k7qoMwi-L4d2RyRmIzNWQ0aFU/view
Extract the contents of the zip. You will see "marshmallow_titan" folder, open it & you will see "2015-11-22--20-17-22_MPB24.65-10" folder.
Using ES File Manager or a PC, go to your TWRP folder inside your Moto G2 where you have backed up your previous ROM.
Open TWRP Folder, inside it there should be a "BACKUPS" folder, inside it there should be a folder having your "Serial Number" as its name.
Open that "Serial Number" folder & copy the extracted "2015-11-22--20-17-22_MPB24.65-10" folder in this "Serial Number" folder.
Finally it should look like this : Internal Storage or External SD Card > TWRP > BACKUPS > *Serial Number* Folder > 2015-11-22--20-17-22_MPB24.65-10
Go in TWRP recovery > Wipe > Factory Reset > Go Back
Tap on Restore > Select the location of the copied "2015-11-22--20-17-22_MPB24.65-10" folder from top (Internal Storage / External SD Card) > Select 2015-11-22--20-17-22_MPB24.65-10 > Select System + Boot > Swipe to Restore > Go Back
After going back to Main Menu of TWRP > Reboot > System. It will prompt to install "SuperSU" > Select "Do Not Install"
Be patient, 1st boot will take a long time. Around 15-20 mins to boot into system.
Rooting
Do not flash SuperSU zip via TWRP to root this ROM. It will result in a Bootloop !
You need to boot into system first. This ROM needs a special boot image to be booted up previously & then any SuperSU 2.4x or higher zip can be flashed later on.

Flashed XT1069 Firmware & 6.0 OTA Zip then backed using TWRP on a XT1068, will perfectly work on XT1069 as the firmware backup is for XT1069.

Thanks for your wonderful effort and sharing 6.0 here. Because Sharing is Caring ....

Installed it on my Mexican XT1064 and it works flawlessly. I don't really ever use SMS so it's all good for me. SystemUI Tweaker is excellent for removing the annoying quick settings tile for the non existent second sim in my model.

TV APP
For now it's all working fine.
Thank you!!!

Good Work!

The SIM card is not working. It recognized but doesn't work.
I already did the step 4 of this guide, and already did a factory reset, and still not working.
Can you help me?
I'm using a XT1069 here.

Thank you for sharing, I will try soon. I suppose that I can download and unpack the zip also with PC and copy the folder to the phone... I will try this way

Did you flash XT1068 Modem files on your XT1069?

Working fine. Just needed a factory reset (xt-1068)

how to do it? my sim card doesn't work either.

Good, very good! 615MB hurts my ISP but I will try it for sure.

Nevermind, i just googled it. If your SIM Card doesn't work and you have XT1068 you just need to flash these modem files http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/xt1068-retaildsdsall-modem-files-xt1068-t2965146.

Hey there, sorry for asking this, but will I lose my data if I install this? I mean, is there a way to keep my data without having to go through the tedious Titanium Backup process? Thanks in advance.

Just Flashed
Flashing it on XT1068 Indian. I will comment about bugs after using. A very big thanks for this :good:

Turns out that the "firmwarefile.com" removed all the firmware files for this Device and Kept Only this :
http://www.mediafire.com/file/92o5xcu64gu7ta7/Lava_Pixel_V1_S111_20160224.zip
Do not know if it's for which variant , Kindly try and tell me.
I can't verify coz my White Variant latest Build No is : Lava_Pixel_V1_S045_20160106 : The update which came in FEB 17.
I am Guessing that this Might be for both variants with latest Updates. Remember, Do Not Blame Me IF Anything Bad Happens.
By the way , Thanks for notifying me. I appreciate that.

Changelog
Huawei designed EMUI 5.0 based on the newly released Android 7.0. The brand new EMUI 5.0 is inspired by the pure blues and whites of the Aegean Sea. The interface is simple and smart, and EMUI 5.0 comes with enhanced, powerful performance that allows mobile phones to operate more smoothly.
Recommendations
• A cleaner, more interactive interface A brand new UI and effects inspired by the blues and whites of the Aegean Sea. Simplified gestures, with most operations completed in 3 steps. EMUI 5.0 is more customizable, offering an optional Android App Drawer layout to users.
• Enhanced features System operations are more fluid, allowing you to view a massive amount of images, browse websites, and perform searches faster.
Find out more
• Notifications. An optimized design combines shortcuts with notifications to reduce the complexity of user actions. Touch and hold notifications to quickly block messages and notifications. Reminder cards are stacked to save space.
• Three dimensional task management Tasks are stacked three dimensionally on the UI. Smooth gestures allow users to scroll through tasks by sliding up and down or dismiss tasks by swiping left or right.
• Camera now supports plug-in management. Infrequently used modes, like document readjustment, are presented as plug-ins to save internal memory on your phone.
• Contacts Customization and sharing features added to name cards. The sharing feature allows quick sharing of contacts through Bluetooth, Facebook, and other methods. Added a scanner to the search box and lock screen, making it easier to add new contacts.
• Email Improved how unread emails are tagged in the inbox. Users can now quickly delete, star, and mark emails as read or unread from the left sliding menu.
• Settings Created a new suggested settings feature that recommends key settings based on the device's current status. Now, your phone is more capable of adjusting to your habits. Added a newly designed drawer feature. When this feature is enabled, it hides non-system preset apps in a drawer on the home screen, presenting you with a simple and tidy layout. Added a new drawer feature for settings. For settings that take two or more steps to set up, the user can now jump directly back to the main settings page with one gesture. Emergency information added. Users can add their names, blood type, and other information, so emergency services personnel can view this information from the lock screen. Added App twin, a feature that allows users to log in to two different accounts for third-party apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook.

Software intallation filed on 39% with dload method :crying:

I'm not sure why, but I had to use twrp-3.0.2-0-next.img version of TWRP (use the link in the OP but change "twrp-3.0.3.img" to "twrp-3.0.2-0-next.img"). The 3.0.3 version posted in the OP just caused my phone to hang when going into recovery.
With 3.0.2-0-next, it allowed me to complete the Zip installs. Really loving Nougat on this phone!

Dload still not working
There are files that can't be updated via dload that's why it fails.
Best is to install via HiSuite or TWRP!
As usual @sillanwali quick and on the target

These files that are missing, are they something that a user can insert to the .app folder, or is it something Huawei bakes into it?
Cheers.

no this is for L09 only.. just check other threads there are MANY MANY L29 threads

Yes I tried Hisuite and it said I'm on the latest official firmware too. But I'm on l09c636b170 so I think it's stuck in the past.

I've installed 3 updates, 2 were beta and now this B521 but its build numer always stay as NRD90M test-keys. HISuite says im already on last version. Quite confusing

This is a Guide to install the Global ROM Flyme OS 6Global on the Meizu Pro 6 Plus Chinese version.
Note: This is also a way to install Any custom ROM made in the future. If someone wanna Customize the ROM( Integrate Xposed and other stuff) feell free to do it.
What does this mean:
Meizu released two versions of the Pro 6 Plus, a chineese version (A) for china and an International version (G) for the devices sold in other countries (International). If you bought your Pro 6 plus from official meizu store on your country, it will come with the G version, but if you bought it from Aliexpress or any other Chinese store, you will buy a Chinese version, some seller may send you the international version if you are lucky but the majoritynot.
Global / International version:
No bloatware, chinese apps..
Multilanguage ( all languages available)
Stock apps optimized for International use (Weather....)
seems to be smoother and faster than the chinese version.
​
Disclaimer
*** As always - Read everything carefully and Flash on our own risk! ***
I can and will not take any responsibility for bricked phones or lost data.​​What do we need:
Rooted Device
FlashFire app from playstore
Flyme 6.1.0.0G _Global_Stable_Pro 6 Plus for Flashfire
​
Instructions:
Its recomnended to back up your data (Titanium backup, your fotos etc)in case of disaster.
Update to a newer version:
Copy the new version to Internal storage
Open Flashfire, click on the + button and choose Flash Zip / OTA
Select the Downloaded ROM from the file explorer and select Mount system read write.
Now you will see a screen with all the actions that will be done, select the action called Reboot and un-thick the option Preserve recovery, leave Normal selected.
Finally click on FLASH and wait until the process ends.
Enjoy...
Note: In case of any problems and you want a clean installation, add the wipe action from the + button before flashing. But it should not be needed.
Note: it seems to be a problem with supersu if you don't wipe data before update. so to avoid problems, you should wipe before flash.
If you want to keep your apps and data, you should make a data (data partition only) backup from flashfire before updating. then wipe and update, follow instructions to root and to have super su. After that you can use flshfire to restore data backup (only data partition) .
also you can use kingroot but its not compatible with flashfire.
If you already updated, you can use titanium backup(give root permision from system root in settings, security root permissions)make a backup of your apps and then follow the guide below How to go back to stock chinese ROM in case of disaster, after that follow the instruction of new installation and when you have the that done, you can rstore your apps with titanium backup.

Older Versions:
Flyme OS 6.7.4.11_beta_Global_Pro 6 Plus for Flashfire

Thanks for this tutorial! It was very detailed and easy to follow.
In the future when I want to perform an update, do I need to go through FlashFire in order for it to work correctly on a Chinese version of the device? Also, where do you download the "G" versions of the beta firmware? I know their next release is a stable version and I know it comes out after the A version; just wondering where you go to download it. Cheers!

For future update you can download the stable from http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=46&type=1. Or the betas from flyme forum. You will have to edit the installation script to be able to flash through flashfire and don't get error and avoid firmware problems. Anyway i will upload the future updates modified for flashfire.

Thanks!!! I tried looking through the zip file to see what you changed, but didn't know which file to go into. I assume it's not as easy as opening up a file in notepad and changing some data on there.

Thanks dude! Looking forward to it.

im surprised at how small the response to this phone is....just stumbled upon it while looking for a new device.
this is rather off-topic but this seems to be the most active thread

thanks for that.
i have question,i can flash the Flyme 5.2.7.0G by this method?

@bihariel Hey I have a question for you. Have you ever experienced a sudden change in battery life out of nowhere? When I first installed this firmware, the battery was perfect. All of a sudden after charging my phone, the battery is draining at an unprecedented rate especially on standby. I charged the phone to 100%, disabled all notification/wifi/cellular network and left it on overnight to activate the battery calibration. The problem still exists however. It's draining about 1% every 2 minutes on standby which is ridiculous.
I'm just wondering if you ever encountered this issue before.

You can but you have to modify the script to avoid firmware files and recovery.img to be flashed, which would end in an installation abort,

Not really, the battery is surprising me on this ROM. Maybe you sould use a battery monitoring app and see whats draining it. If not, do a factory reset and see if it still prsists.

How To Install Flyme OS 6.7.4.11 Global on Chinese Pro 6 Plus
This is a Guide to install the Global ROM Flyme OS 6.7.4.11 on the Meizu Pro 6 Plus Chinese version.
Note: This is also a way to install Any custom ROM made in the future. If someone wanna Customize the ROM( Integrate Xposed and other stuff) feell free to do it.
What does this mean:
Meizu released two versions of the Pro 6 Plus, a chineese version (A) for china and an International version (G) for the devices sold in other countries (International). If you bought your Pro 6 plus from official meizu store on your country, it will come with the G version, but if you bought it from Aliexpress or any other Chinese store, you will buy a Chinese version, some seller may send you the international version if you are lucky but the majoritynot.
Global / International version:
No bloatware, chinese apps..
Multilanguage ( all languages available)
Stock apps optimized for International use (Weather....)
seems to be smoother and faster than the chinese version.

Hello everyone, thanks a lot bihariel for this guide.
I have successfully installed the beta with flashfire and it's all ok!
Some people say flashfy is not a very safe method, what do you think? I'm not an expert.
However, I did not go to the flymex account synchronization, now I've installed the closed beta apps yesterday and it works perfectly well!
We wait for the stable then!
Can you explain how you modified the update for the future? Thanks so much.
Are Alternative Methods to Flashfire? Type ADB?
In Italy a seller on his blog posted this guide, but I could not install it:
"The tutorial for installing firmware G in the Asian Meizu Pro 6 Plus smartphone is really very simple and does not require solid modding basics, you just have to be careful about installing ADB drivers correctly.
Load the battery completely before you begin the procedure and save all your important data
On your PC or on a Cloud as you will need to make the full factory reset.
Prerequisites Preinstalling Firmware G in Meizu Pro 6 Plus:
1-Smartphone fully charged
2-Any antivirus and / or firewalls disabled
3-Driver ADB properly installed, restart your PC after installation!
4-Enabled Root permissions through Flyme account (Fingerprint and Security Menu)
5-USB Debug Mode Enabled in Developer Options (Accessibility Menu)
G Firmware Installation in Meizu Pro 6 Plus:
Decompress the Meizu_Pro6plus_Flyme 5.2.7.0G.zip archive and copy it to the root folder
Of Meizu Pro 6 Plus the file system-i.img
Decompress the archive adb_tool.zip and in the folder obtained we select the file
Cmd.exe to open the command window
Write in the command window:
Adb shell
We give Send and permission to ADB through the pop-up that will appear on the Meizu Pro 6 Plus display
We will read in the shell @ Pro6Plus command window
WARNING: If the pop-up display does not appear, ADB drivers have not been installed correctly!
Write in the command window:
su
We give Send and permission of ADB SHELL root permissions through
The pop-up that will appear on the Meizu Pro 6 Plus display
We will read in the command window the symbol #
WARNING: If the pop-up display does not appear, root permissions are disabled!
Write in the command window:
Dd if = / sdcard / system-i.img of / dev / block / platform / 155a0000.ufs / by-name / system
We give Enter, we will see the cursor blink, we do not touch anything until the flash procedure
The system will not be completed and the screenshot message below will appear
Meizu pro 6 plus 01
Disconnect the usb cable from the Meizu Pro 6 Plus and restart it by holding down the button
Power for a few seconds, the startup process will take a few minutes, do not alarm and we start booting.
When the terminal is started we go in
Settings> About phone> Storage> Factory data reset>
We see Factory reset and Format internal storage>
Select START RESET"
I put into google translate, if you want the original in italian language let me know.

I can tell you that for now the safest method is flashfire because it install the ROM in same way that the Recovery does, that is: it wipes the system partition and installs the ROM with correct permissions.
The method you mention is more risky( to get a bootloop) because it overwrites the ROM files directly over the System partition with the OS still running on phone. This drives into a system hang freeze. of course you have to turn it of by holding power button until it restarts. Then you have to go recovery and do a factory reset if you get bootloop.
I tried this method before Flasfire but it gave me bootloop so then i used Flashfire because it do the same job that Recovery does.
About the modifications, its really simple. Just open \META-INF\com\google\androidupdater-script and delete all the lines in red in this picture (these lines check if your phone is Chinese version or global and update the firmware files.)
Also you can delete the files related to those lines just for safety (boot.img, recovery.img, logo.bin, ldfw, bootloader..)

Salam,
The camera bug is weird, i don't have that bug, i open the camera ( front and back) many times and it works perfectly, maybe you changed something in camera setting ( erasing camera app data should help)
Anyway, the script is exactly the same as mine, its just you are using and editor with Arabic orientation.
Just use the app Notepad++( google it) and open it in English lang.
If not, just upload the script for me and i will edit it.
