This thread might help you with the resource, links and few information about upgrading to Lollipop 5.1 when the official OTA arrives.
BEFORE WE BEING, LETS SUM UP WITH THE THINGS WE KNOW TILL NOW.
After agers, Motoroal dropped Lollipop for our Xs
First the LP 5.0.2 came out as soak test
Finally LP 5.1 OTA hit the brazillian markets a couple of days back
We can expect to hit all other markets in couple to weeks.
Now things we need to know for successfully installing the OTAs when it finally arrives in our regions
** I'm expecting all of you(reading this) are rooted with locked or unlocked bootloader **
*If you are not rooted, you are set, stop reading and count clocks before it hits your region*
Now whether you are have locked or unlocked bootloader, I'm guessing you have Custom Recovery installed (TWRP,CWM, etc).
and might or might not be running a Custom ROM.
For both the cases, you can never successfully install OTA when it arrives cause it has a pre validation check, which will fail if it recognizes anything other than stock is installed.
For more info :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59524348&postcount=324
AND NEVER TRY TO DOWNGRADE CAUSE IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE OR SET IT UP FOR BRICKING LATER (IF IT DOESN'T BRICK, WHEN TRY TO INSTALL OTA IT SURELY WILL)
More Info
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/info-warning-risks-downgrading-impacts-t3058202 )
So, it narrows down to a particular question " What should be done if we want to install the OTA when it arrives.? "
This is what you need to do :
Flash Stock ROM (if you are using Custom ROM) and Stock Recovery and then download the OTA and give it go....
** its good if you install both Stock ROM & Recovery, cause you might knowing or unknowingly tampered your system partition by installing/experimenting with several modules and framworks (xposed for eg) **
which by the way raises the following follow up question :
Q : Where to find Stock ROM ZIP file and how to install it.?
A : For this, first you need to know which Model of Moto X are you using and download the same and the flash it.
For getting to know and downloading the your region specific ROM zip file please vist ;

and for the flashing guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
Please go through and read carefully to both the threads, and you will find yourself happy with LP 5.1 when it finally comes.
I have no hands in making the links mentioned, all this is done by spending hours of research time by these people.. *Say Thanks to Them*.. I just accumulated the data to provided a one thread solution.

I haven't posted this cause, its not the official OTA installation thing, its just restoring a TWRP backup. which in case has many bugs (eg speaker phone, Network selection etc.)
I also admit that there is no contribution from me, in creation of the links I've posted, I just accumulated the data for myself, in thought that, when the OTA hits my region, this would help me going back to stock.
I made this thread thinking that, if in some way I could also help others who are looking for a solution for this.
The tips posted in -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/faq-kit-kat-how-to-prepare-carriers-t2536735 still apply for Lollipop...
Some URLs have been captured, some have not. What you see is what we've got. If you do not see your region's URL here I don't have it, so please do not ask!!
Do not fill this thread with chat about the MM update. We have a thread for that already. This is only a repository for the URLs.
If you are in possession of an official URL link please post it here or PM it to me. That is the preferred method to share the OTA download. If that's not possible for one reason or another, any dropbox, google drive, mega, etc. link to the zip file will do just fine. Please do not rename, repack, or edit your OTA zip in any way. We don't want to break the signature...if you do stock recovery won't flash it.
Here is a guide to capture your URL should you get the notification. Please remember to start logcat BEFORE clicking download.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-how-to-url-ota-update-t3230597
If you are unable to capture the URL you can find the update .zip file in the /cache directory of your device. You must be rooted to get it, and being rooted will not stop you from being able to download the update. You just can't flash it from a rooted device.

guys, take it to the discussion thread!!! this is ONLY a link repository!
what the hell???? I specifically asked everyone to NOT turn this into a completely worthless discussion.
I'm deleting this thread and it's not coming back until a mod can lock it!! You people are absolutely ridiculous...like vultures!! you see a link and just click it without reading anything at all!!
Thank you to those who did stay on topic. Sorry it has to be this way...I've never seen a forum with so many users who can't follow one simple rule!!
I don't know if I will EVER post another update thread here again....every one I've made turns into the same thing....50 people all asking the same question or posting the same damn comment....no **** the link isn't working...everyone spammed it and it got overloaded. I saw the first post. I didn't need to be told 3 times.
You guys really know how to ruin a good thing.
Thread closed - it has become a joke. A rather sad joke at that.
Every post deleted to preserve some Forum dignity.
Duplicate thread exist with same issue.

Hi,
I know I am late to the party to root this phone, but didn't want to spoil the warranty earlier then got busy with my work. But this phone is getting slow, so I think this is right time to root. As this thread says, I want to root my Asus Z010D. Frankly I never did rooting and there are so many articles when I did google. There are also multiple download links to download ADB, TWRP, SuperSu etc. I am not sure which are right files as some are just labeled as recovery. I created new thread so I can post updates how it goes and ask for help rather than hijacking any other threads.
Below is my phone details:
Model: ASUS_Z010D
Andriod version: 6.0.1
Baseband version: M3.3.11-ZC550KL_215421_8916
Kernel version: 3.10.49-perf-g99b6098
Build Number: MMB29P.WW_Phone-13.8.26.110-20180110
060020723_201603020037
I have already downloaded
1. ADB 1.4.3,
2. 8916_SIGNED_Android_M_UnlockTool_2016_0715.apk
3. TWRP-3.1.1-Z010DD-20171001-by-AudaHadi
4. PRO-SuperSU-v2.67
5. A file named recovery from some thread of xda forum of same Asus model
Do I need anything else other than above files?
Are there new ROMs available for this?
What are next steps?
Are the steps given in below link are sufficient?

Sorry to all as i was really busy with my work and now i got sometime to share some information and flashing tutorial with you all.
hope you all are fine.
Take a look at new tutorial about flashing the ALCATEL 5054W - i see there are very few people who are sharing firmware of this model, so i thought i have to make a video on it and share a firmware with you.
Please Download the firmware using link below:

My apologies if I accidently broke the rules with this post. I haven't posted for a long time and I'm a bit rusty on use of this forum.
I have a Galaxy Tab A that I have been trying to load TWRP on, without success. I am convinced the reason is that the TWRP files ae for the wrong hardware.
After calling Samsung tech support here is the info I can provide to identify the tablet.
Samsung SM-T350NZWAXAR gt58wifi-gt58wifixx-smt350 Build number NMF26XT350XXU1CQJ5
Now when I search for the TWRP tar file, the only thing close to a match for the hardware is codename a8hplte . I selected the most recent TWRP file.
Well, I've flashed that tar file using Odin several times but I still get the stock recovery when I boot into recovery .
Is it possible that Samsung has a device for which TWRP doesn't work? I'm hoping someone out there has the same model and can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Forgot to mention, I sent an email query to TWRP. They didn't respond. No help whatsoever.
No idea where you were looking, but the 1st page of the rom, kernel + recovery subforum for the Samsung tab already has a thread with TWRP for the SM-T350.
Now it's not my specific tablet so idk if it works, but you can just read the thread and ask there.

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. I had been trying to get a image/tar file from the official TWRP website. Now, I also saw the page you provided a link to. When I read it, I saw that the version (
twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-t350_18317.tar) that was recommended is in a category labeled "for Marshmallow only). What I have is Nougat, and in that category there is no SM-350 TWRP file. So if you would please help me one more time; Should I be using the file from the Marshmallow only category, or the Nougat for SM-355 (which doesn't match what I have)? Thank you again for your assistance.

Like I said - it's not MY device, so I suggest you ask in the linked thread as the users there will HAVE the device and know better
download ROM/firmware (lowest possible version) from https://www.sammobile.com according to your CSC, repair tablet with Odin3, and unlock bootloader first
