I get this error while trying to attempt to update to the latest android 5.0 in twrp...
while installing the new zip file it says:
package expects build fingerprint of google/mantaray/manta: 4.4.4/ktu84p/1227136: user/release-keys or google/mantaray/manta:5.0/LRX21P/1570855:user/release-keys; this device has google/mantaray/manta:4.3/JWR66V/737497:user/release-keys
but my nexus 10 is already on 4.4.4
Your build.prop isn't standard, get the original one, or just use the factory image to update.

what i need to install to correct his to the correct build.prop of 4.4.4?
ps. my last 4.4.4 was updated directly OTA..
Just download the 5.0 factory image, remove -w from the flash-all script and it will update you. Less dicking around that way.

Exactly the same here when flashing OTA via TWRP.
The build.prop file hasn't been modified as far as I know.
Where/how to get the file please?

I found the best way around this is to install the factory nexus 10 lollipop version. It's actually quite easy or even easier than the OTA method. Just make sure you delete the -w from the .bat file to keep all your data. It worked perfectly for me.

Thanks inspiron41 - I'll give it a go at the weekend.
Which file is the -w in please?

Go to this website:

It has detail instruction and jump down to step 3 regarding to -w

I was having the same issue as the OP. So after reading this thread, I've performed the following:
Downloaded Android 5.0 factory image from: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Followed the instructions at this site, AND MADE SURE TO REMOVE '-w' AS INSTRUCTED, TO PRESERVE DATA: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...riants-of-nexus-7-2012-and-2013-and-nexus-10/
It was pretty easy. I've been waiting about 30 minutes looking at the boot graphic. Hope it turns out OK. But it is easier than playing with the OTA.
After being stuck in a bootloop, I had to factory reset and now all is well.

...i've been having the same issue since the 5.0.0 update.
I even had to perform a total wipe to get 5.0.0 onto my N10, and even after that I still have a bad signature on my tablet. Now the problem is back installing 5.0.2 OTA, and I do not want to wipe everything again. So please where is that build.prop file, and how do I fix it? or rather, what the eff has gone wrong here, why, and who's responsible for unbreaking it?

Yea, I flashed the 5.0.1 factory image later. Now, I tried to flash the 5.0.2 OTA and it said it saw a 5.0.1 signature and was expecting 5.0.1, or something of that sort. It's basically the same issue all over again... No issues flashing 5.0.2 to my kids' N7s that are 100% stock.
My N10 is unlocked and rooted. There must be something in the customizations that cause this issue.

Why not just update using the 5.1 factory image? I run unlocked stock/rooted on my N10, and that's the method I always use to update. Would also do it this way on my N5 and now N6. Just fastboot flash all the images from the factory image manually (READ: EXCEPT USERDATA). You can also skip flashing the recovery if you run a custom recovery. However, for the sake of completion, I include flashing the stock recovery. Then I let it boot up normally. Then I'll boot back into the bootloader and flash TWRP and flash SuperSU. Updating this way is easier for me since I don't have to worry about the OTA failing due to customizations I may have made to the system (especially now with the new way Android updates after 5.0).
I've already had to upgrade my tablet by flashing stock for the last three upgrades, and every single time I ended up havnig to wipe the tablet clean and install and configure everything from scratch. I'm still hoping that at some point I wouldn't have to do that anymore...

could this all be because my tablet is rooted and has CWM recovery installed?

That's weird. I can't remember the last time I had issues using the stock images, and most people seem to be okay doing it. How are you flashing it? I follow Method 2 from this OP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008. I just skip the command that flashes userdata, and it always works. I always flash the new cache image because when I would just erase it, it would be forever stuck in the bootanimation.
Before 5.0, being rooted didn't affect upgrading via OTA. Now, however, any little modification to the system (including being rooted) will cause the OTA to fail everytime. Also using a custom recovery like CWM will cause it to fail. So if you really want to go the OTA route, the least you would have to do is completely unroot (inside the SuperSU app itself) and flash the stock recovery. If you've uninstalled any system apps, you have to reinstall them or it will also fail.

My N10 is with stock ROM 5.0.1 and stock recovery but rooted with unlocked bootloader (and custom launcher). I have two questions:
1) I can unroot it through SuperSU. Do I have to switch back to the stock launcher before trying the OTA installation of 5.1?
2) I remember last time I could gain root by simply installing SuperSU. After flashing the 5.1 factory image, can I still get root this same way, or do I have to install, for example, TWRP and then flash SuperSU?
Thanks!

1) No, you can keep whichever launcher you are using whether it be Trebuchet, Google Now Launcher, Nova, etc. since it's more of just an app and not a system mod.
2) As far as I know (or thought), you've always had to flash SuperSU using a custom recovery unless your ROM already came pre-rooted. In which case, all you would have to do is install SuperSU from the Play Store. But to answer your question, after flashing the factory image, you would have to flash a custom recovery like TWRP and then flash SuperSU using said custom recovery. However, that's not complicated at all. After flashing the factory image, it just takes like another 5 minutes to flash TWRP, boot into it, flash SuperSU, boot into the OS, verify root status, then power off, boot back into the bootloader and flash the stock recovery (if you don't want to keep the custom recovery). While you're at it, after flashing SuperSU, why not flash the Translucent Nav/Status Bar Mod found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2771708 provided by @hanspampel. He's done a great service for us. It's the easiest and best mod for the stock N10 right now that restores the translucent decor that Google decided to disable on our device. I flashed it on my N10 after upgrading to 5.1 and it works flawlessly. But that's just a suggestion.

Never mind
This is essentially the Nexus 7 2013 WiFi's factory stock image in flashable zip format, so you can flash the device back to factory stock using CWM or TWRP, without having to rely on fastboot. It is useful for people who broke their USB port, but still have custom recovery. Or messing with roms on the go and wanting to return to stock without having access to a computer.
Included are separate zip files that will flash specific partitions of the device. To have a complete stock form of the device and preventing any issues, make sure you flash all zip files. More advance users can choose to only flash specific partitions to suit their needs.
>>> DOWNLOAD: razor_lrx21p_stock_flashable_zips <<<
Flash instruction (Important):
0. (optional) Create a full nandroid backup before flashing is recommended.
1. To have a working and stable OS, make sure you flash all the zip files, unless you know what you're doing.
2. To prevent serious incompatibilities, do a factory reset if you are coming from KitKat or from a custom rom. I would only skip doing a factory reset if the device is already running stock Lollipop.
Note: If you do not want to erase your custom recovery, do not flash the "recovery.zip", this will return your custom recovery back to stock.
I have tested flashing these multiple times with my Nexus 7 WiFi 32gb with no issues. Before proceeding with flashing, each zip files will check to make sure if the device is a Nexus 7 2013 WiFi (flo), so it won't allow you to accidentally flash on a wrong device.
If you have any issues after flashing these, even after factory resetting, follow this guide to use fastboot instead to return the device to stock.

I am currently using Cleanrom. I have download the stock rooted Lolipop, and wish to flash that. It was said in that thread, that I need the latest bootloader. So from the zip file above, should I only flash the bootloader and then flash L? Or would it not make a difference if I flashed all the zips (besides the recovery)?
No, I do not want to get rid of my custom recovery. I am using the latest version of TWRP
Flashed with TWRP, works well. Thanks a lot!

No they should all work. The phone will boot correctly as long as you have all the proper kernel (boot), system (OS) and bootloader installed.

You should flash both the bootloader and DDR zip. Then flash the the rom, it should work. Also if you are coming from KitKat, you will need to factory reset or you will get lots of errors.

Would a factory reset delete the files I have on my device? If so, the ROM is in a folder on my device.

Which one of these zips controls user data? I want to try and dirty flash, as I dont want to lose any data if I dont have to. Any suggestions?
I have not done a factory reset yet; and add away tells me the device is not rooted.
Did the update remove root, or is this one of those issues related to not doing a factory reset?
All else seems to be working at the moment.

So the bootloader and DDR zips can be flashed through TWRP to update the bootloader only, and then a separate rooted ROM (ie scrosler's) can be flashed through TWRP with the help of the updated bootloader?
I did try to flash the bootloader only, but it failed. The need for the DDR would explain why.

Thanks this is what ive been looking for.
Bought my nexus 7 2013 3weeks ago it came with 4.4.2 and i towelrooted it n flashed twrp now on a custom rom but wish i didnt coz i wanted the updates 5.0 but i dont have a pc so this is what i needed.
So if i flash all zips does that mean il be stock 5.0 and ready for future updates?
Aslo my bootloader is already 4.04 so should i stil flash the one above?
Is it possable to flash jus system+boot zips as a second rom (multirom)?
I am not going to install 5.0 yet because some of the apps I use are not yet compatible. If I just flashed the boot loader but stayed with my current ROM , cleanrom, would that be a problem?

Hi James,
You'll need to re-root your device after you flashed these images.
CF-Autoroot will help you here; click.
You'll need to reinstall your custom bootloader as well if the stock bootloader does not meet your requirements.

It depends, for normal Android devices, if you factory reset using stock recovery it will wipe everything in the device. For TWRP and CWM, if you factory reset it will leave your internal storage alone.

None of them control userdata, I excluded that partition image. If you want to dirty flash, just don't do a factory reset or wipe your /data folder.

Do not flash these zip as a secondary rom for multirom, this is meant to flash for the entire device only. This is factory images, not roms. You could download some type of stock based roms and use it with multirom instead. If you have the latest bootloader you don't need to flash it again, but it won't hurt if you do. Yes, flashing all the zips and factory resetting will return the device to stock.

Because this is Android 5, it have extra security to prevent rooting like in the past. I believe to get root you need try Chainfire's CF-AutoRoot method, or use a custom kernel and flash SuperSu.

This isn't an update. It is a factory image that return the device to stock form. You will lose root and every changes to the system partition in the process.

*NOTE: I tried to update my XT1575 Moto-X Pure Edition from a file on this page and it was a disaster! I now have the OTA visible on my phone, see screenshot, that keeps popping up. My phone is currently rooted, unlocked, and has TWRP installed, all courtesy of WinDroid tool. Windroid was painless, easy, and got the job done pretty quickly. Now that I can take the OTA update, is there an instruction page somewhere showing how to take the upgrade and keep root and recovery TWRP? That is the gist of what I really need.
I have a new Motorola Moto-X Pure Edition, rooted and TWRP with WinDroid app from Windows. This made it incredibly easy to unlock bootloader, install TWRPm and root. I am very happy with this system and some Xposed modules. I heard all the hoopla about the new Marshmallow rollout but did not have it offered to me on this phone. So, I did it manually from this page:
Stock/Rooted/Debloated X1575 6.0 MPH24.49-18
So much to choose from so I downloaded the moto_x_pure_edition_rooted_x1575_mph24.49-18_v1-deodexed.zip and flashed it in TWRP, after making a nandroid backup in TWRP. Everything seemed to work fine but I had problems after problems. My 32 GB ext-sdcard "vanished" and the system insisted that I reformat the card as "Portable" or "Permanent". I chose portable. I could not get Xposed working properly. My password manager would not work, when I updated from the play store, I got the message that all Android 6 apps now require a password at first run. Huh? What password? None of the passwords I have for the password managers would open the app.
Before losing 30+ GB of data on my ext-sdcard, I copied it to PC, then when complete I put it back in the phone, allowed the format as portable, then pulled the card and restored my stuff. Nothing was working right and it was pretty scary as this is my only phone. I restored the TWRP backup and had some settling in issues, but it worked, all but for WiFi. I could not turn it on! Like a spring on the switch, the moment you switched on WiFi, it snapped right back to the OFF position. No more WiFi. A friend sent me a stock recovery zip file, CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_SHAWN5162.zip.
This file, once unzipped, will flash the entire phone back to stock. He send me a small modem-flash.bat file because he thinks that I have an Android 6 radio in an Android 5 device. After running the flash-modem.bat, I got my WiFi back.
flash-modem.bat
Code:
@ECHO Off
@Echo Test
C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\platform-tools\adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
.fastboot reboot
Now I am really, really gun shy. I now have the dreaded update message on my phone, see screenshot. I found some good instructions here:
[GUIDE] Unlock/Root/Flash for Moto X Style/Pure
Are these instructions safe if I take the OTA update?
What preparations should be made prior to taking OTA aside from a TWRP backup?
Must I really format my ext-sdcard to use Marshmallow?
What other kind of weird things will happen?
Thank you so much, scared "sheetless in Florida"

Everything seemed to work fine but I had problems after problems. My 32 GB ext-sdcard "vanished" and the system insisted that I reformat the card as "Portable" or "Permanent". I chose portable. I could not get Xposed working properly. My password manager would not work, when I updated from the play store, I got the message that all Android 6 apps now require a password at first run. Huh? What password? None of the passwords I have for the password managers would open the app.
Before losing 30+ GB of data on my ext-sdcard, I copied it to PC, then when complete I put it back in the phone, allowed the format as portable, then pulled the card and restored my stuff. Nothing was working right and it was pretty scary as this is my only phone. I restored the TWRP backup and had some settling in issues, but it worked, all but for WiFi. I could not turn it on! Like a spring on the switch, the moment you switched on WiFi, it snapped right back to the OFF position. No more WiFi. A friend sent me a stock recovery zip file, CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_SHAWN5162.zip.
This file, once unzipped, will flash the entire phone back to stock. He send me a small modem-flash.bat file because he thinks that I have an Android 6 radio in an Android 5 device. After running the flash-modem.bat, I got my WiFi back.
flash-modem.bat
Code:
@ECHO Off
@Echo Test
C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\platform-tools\adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
.fastboot reboot
Now I am really, really gun shy. I now have the dreaded update message on my phone, see screenshot. I found some good instructions here:
[GUIDE] Unlock/Root/Flash for Moto X Style/Pure
Are these instructions safe if I take the OTA update?
What preparations should be made prior to taking OTA aside from a TWRP backup?
Must I really format my ext-sdcard to use Marshmallow?
What other kind of weird things will happen?
Thank you so much, scared "sheetless in Florida"

Two points:
1. You can never ever ever take any OTA with a custom recovery (TWRP) installed. You MUST flash stock recovery prior to taking the OTA.
2. The update will fail if you have made ANY modifications to /system. This includes using TWRP to flash SuperSu to your device.
So if you just do a complete FULL return to stock and have a working lollipop installation, DO NOT INSTALL TWRP OR INSTALL SUPERSU. Take the OTA update. Afterwards you are free to go ahead and flash TWRP. I recommend IMMEDIATELY making a nandroid backup once you have taken the OTA and flashed TWRP.
I also suggest using the new "systemless root" method instead of the traditional root method. If you use systemless root, you won't need to restore /system (as long as you didn't modify it by flashing Xposed, Adaway, or similar. If a future OTA comes out with systemless root, you simply flash the stock kernel (which will unroot you), then accept the new update, then modify the boot image again to re-gain root.
To sum it up: *IF* you are 100% stock on lollipop (no TWRP, no SuperSU), you can go ahead and take the OTA. Afterwards, you can do whatever you would like (flash TWRP, SuperSU, etc). Just keep in mind that if you don't use the new systemless root, you will have to do a full return to stock AGAIN the next time an OTA comes out.
Good Luck.
Hi Ohmster. Hope you are well. I experienced the exact same "mess" as you have. In fact, I had the identical setup (Lollipop, TWRP, Nova, etc.). I tried the FLASH-ALL approach multiple times as well as separate reflash of the modem included in the CLARK_RETUS zip (followed steps line by line). But I'm still stuck without wifi (slides back to "off" immediately). prior to all this, I did a factory wipe as well as subsequent "fastboot -w". Any ideas? I'm on day 3 without a phone Thanks in advance for your wisdom!!

Do you think it would work if I did a Full Unroot using SuperSU and then uninstalled it using TiBu. Then flashed stock recovery using the restore to stock tool. So at that point I would have unrooted, removed SuperSu, and flashed back the stock recovery image. Do you think this would do the trick, or is it just best to completely flash the entire device using the restore to stock tool in full. I can recover from a soft brick but don't want a complete brick. Do you think my method is worth a try and that it wouldn't cause a complete brick condition? I would like to not have to reset my phone completely, but will if that is the only best way to get onto MM. Thanks.

Actually my XT1575 is running and is in good shape now. I was lucky, @OldBaldy got on Hangouts with me and walked me through it. He sent me a large file which I believe to be the original stock rom for the Moto-X with a flash.bat file in so as long as you have your Windows drivers installed with ADB and Fastboot working. It took me the entire night to get that working with the correct drivers because Baldy had to go to bed.
The file I really needed for this is a 1.27 GB file, CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_SHAWN5162.zip. He told me NOT to run the FLASH-ALL.bat inside because all he wanted to do was reset the WiFi radio from an Android 6 radio to an Android 5 radio. Baldy was really smart and edited the restore system bat file to a tiny little "StockROM_FlashModem.txt" and it worked! WiFi came right back!
After that, I had to use adb over USB to flash the system back to original lollipop with no root, take the OTA update, then flash the boot.image file, update done, then flash the boot.img before installing SuperSU and most of this we did with ADB over USB. You cannot flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip until you flash that boot.img file.
If I was smart, I would have copy/pasted all the adb stuff we did into a text file, but of course, I didn't. But yes it is all working quite well now.
BEWARE:
Xposed does work in MM but not everything. I had to go back to TWRP, remove Xposed, and then enable only a couple of them that I know are safe like AdBlocker and Greenify.
I cannot give you anymore details since I screwed it up myself a couple of times and ended up redoing it on my own and again with Baldy's help.
NOTE:
Baldy did want something out of all this help he was giving me, he wanted the very first nandroid TWRP backup system files that I made immediately as soon as I got the update done because that is a perfectly clean backup and if you ever wanted to put your phone back to stock, that backup would do it.
Before giving up on Xposed and being sure that this was lousing up my phone; self boots, black screen, would not boot, bootloop, etc., I finally realized that this phone actually WORKS, man. It has to be the Xposed files,and modules that are causing the problems. And after removing all but the 2 I mentioned, the phone works great now. I will add more modules, very, very slowly and test each one for a couple of days before I clear it and dare add another one.

Hi Ohmster. Thanks again. So are you on Marshmallow? I got back with your info above and back to 5.1.1 (CLETUS). I tried to take the OTA and it downloaded, went to install, and I watched it just say "error" while on the installation screen. I'm going to try again. Let me know if you all set or in the same boat Thanks again!

Did you get back to stock using CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_SHAWN5162.zip? I have still not gone through the process yet as I am concerned about messing up the process. I want to ask a few questions here. I am well accustomed to fastboot flashing but want to be exactly sure of what to flash and the reason for doing it. I am on stock 5.1.1 LP with bootloader unlocked and rooted with SuperSU. So first I need to use Shawn5162's zip to restore me back to complete stock without root, then I need to go in and setup the phone to at least get the MM OTA, then install the OTA and hope all goes well. Lastly, to root again I need to use Shawn5162's zip to flash boot.img only, then flash TWRP, and finally flash SuperSU again. Is all this correct? Thank you.

That is the correct firmware. You don't need to remove anything. All you need to do is flash recovery and system, reboot and take the OTA. Make sure you have the new TWRP ( 2.8.7.1 ) downloaded, the 2.8.7.0 won't work with the new bootloader. I used the modified boot image and supersu 2.52 because I did not care about modifying the system partition. You can use Supersu 2.62 for systemless root if you wish. If you're planning to use Xposed, then systemless gives you no added benefits.
Always, before starting something like this, make a nandroid!

So, I couldn't wait and already did it. I flashed Shawn5162's file in full. Then I took the OTA and updated perfectly. I have already installed TWRP 2.8.7.1 and made a nandroid of my Stock unrooted MM ROM. Now I want to root but want to make sure I understand this step perfectly. Which boot.img do I use? The ones in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/root-moto-x-style-xt1572-br-marshmallow-t3259380? The boot.img in that thread is way smaller than the one in Shawn5162's LL zip tool. Just want to be sure I am doing this correctly. Lastly am I using the SU file in that thread as well and following those exact directions? Thanks.

That boot img is for style only, not for pure. There is another called boot_root_mm_clark_retus.zip
Search for that file, it's the one you need for Supersu 2.5.2
You can use either supersu 252 of 256. I used 252 and have had no problems. If you have flashed TWRP, just put the supersu of your choice and the boot_root.zip files on you phone and flash with TWRP.

Hi OldBaldy. Sorry I'm still having a tough time. As mentioned, I got back to 5.1.1 per the above process. I read your latest note and flashed the latest twrp (2.8.7.1) and took the MM OTA. It's now flashing the "teamwin" screen over and over. Should I be patient or bail? Thanks again for your patience and help!!!

You have to take the OTA BEFORE you flash TWRP. What you need to do now is get back into fastboot and flash the stock recovery img from the 5.1.1 factory image. Then reboot into system and take the OTA. After it installs, then follow the above instructions.

No, that is the wrong root img to flash prior to installing SuperSU 2.52.

Yup, I realized that plus someone else informed me that wasn't the one. I got her all taken care of and she is up and running smooth as can be. The battery on MM is really good. I'm impressed. I also wrote up a huge how to on the whole process and posted it. Should contain all the necessary steps in one place now. It gets a bit crazy having to dig all over the place to gather all that is needed. These threads get quite large and finding stuff gets more difficult as the days go by.

Hey. I had rooted 5.1.1 Moto X Style and did a return to stock 5.1.1. eu version (relocked bootloader). After booted up, I received update to Marshmallow, I installed it. It worked. Later I wanted to root it, so I unlocked bootloader again and also did flash custom recovery - TWRP (twrp-2.8.7.1-clark). Later I restarted device and its was stuck on logo of Motorola. Nothing boots up.
Cant find solution for this. Thanks.
UPDATE:
Solved my issue here.
UPDATE2:
If there is problems upgrading your device to Marshmallow, I would suggest install custom ROM TruPureXMM with custom KERNEL Frankenclark. I am using this combo for long period of time and now I can suggest to others too!
Mine is having a similar issue. Mine took forever to boot at your stage because it formatted itself. Once I flashed SuperSU is where mine refused to boot. I have no idea what's going on either.
I am having the exact same issue. I updated to Marshmallow, installed TWRP (twrp-2.8.7.1-clark), flashed SuperSU and the phone hung on the Motorolla Logo at boot. I was still able to access the boot loader (holidng down the volume and the power button) and attempted to restore using http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...ndows-tool-moto-x-style-pure-edition-t3199905. I was able to restore however now my wifi does not work and therefore I cannot update to Marshmallow OTA.

You need to reflash the LP radio from the restore all file ( NON-HLOS.bin ). That should do it.
I'm having the exact same issue. I'm so glad you posted. I gave up and used the restore-to-stock tool as well, but my Wi-Fi isn't working either. What is LP radio and how do I flash it? Now that I've restored to stock, I no longer have TWRP, and because I don't have WiFi, I can't update to Marshmallow.

If you want WIFI on stock 5.1.1 you need to flash right modem for you.
You should download .zip file that contains all stock files, unzip it, and find "NON-HLOS.bin", thats modem file that you need.
Now boot into fastboot mode (power+volume down), and from PC use "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin"
Restart device, you should be okey now.
For XT1572 "STYLE" EU you can download this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3gPYUZ4nRLwTUU4cUVmcUtBTEU/view;
But for XT1575 "PURE" US use this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3gPYUZ4nRLwTl9Wd1JQX0hFejg/view.
If you are using other device, use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/firmware-moto-x-style-pure-stock-t3272486 to find your device, but this threads links are very slow.

Looks like you flashed SuperSU but didn't flash the boot_root.img , or you can use the systemless root.

Nop, could find solution, so I did full wipe, and restored my backup file with 5.1.1. Also flashed stock logo, boot and modem, so it can boot my old 5.1.1. Moto.
Will wait for some kind of european ROM with Marshmallow, or TWRP update. Maybe later will try again to go fully stock and upgrade to Marshmallow, maybe will find something that will work, right now I just need my "phone" back so I can use it as daily driver.
I just finished flashing TruPureXMM. I'm in the middle of restoring all my apps, and I still need to re-fix the WiFi, but otherwise my experience is working well. You might want to check that out.

For wifi you should flash modem from his thread: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087017262
Its Pure modem with band 12 fix.
I was using his Rom for some hours and didnt like it, my personal opinion:
Good: easy to install; twrp, supersu, xposed is working.
Bad: modified kernel (had more problems with it, it was draining battery so fast - 4 little cores was always online for ~900-1440MHz, and 1 big core always online for same frequancy as little cores, only one big core was going idle), so I didnt like all this modifications to stock kernel, also I didnt like that mine EU version now is listed as US version XT1575, and last that I noticed after some hours of usage is that on secret menu, mine 3G network was listed as WCDMA, but on EU of mine Style same 3G is using GSM auto method. I suppose that there can be some difficulties in EU countries - after changing settings to 4G, I loosed signal, and only after restart I got it back.
Thats the main reasons why I want european rom, or to modifie stock eu MM with xposed.

I think in that case I did flash SuperSU the old way for Stock Moto Marshmallow. I then did a TWRP backup to go back to full stock and tried rooting using systemless, but something isn't right. It's showing up, apps are asking for permission, but its acting odd. The apps can't get permission and Viper for example just crashes and other apps just keep saying something is wrong. My TWRP is messed up to. It was pushed correctly, but it seems very unstable. I can't flash any ROMs and if I plug it into my computer to send a file, when I reboot it no longer shows it in my directory to install. Sometimes if I hit reboot device, it only reboots recovery or just ignores the command entirely. I think I will revert it back to moto standard and try again, but this has been a little weird.

If you want WIFI on stock 5.1.1 you need to flash right modem for you.
You should download .zip file that contains all stock files, unzip it, and find "NON-HLOS.bin", thats modem file that you need.
Now boot into fastboot mode (power+volume down), and from PC use "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin"
Restart device, you should be okey now.
For XT1572 "STYLE" EU you can download this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3gPYUZ4nRLwTUU4cUVmcUtBTEU/view;
But for XT1575 "PURE" US use this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3gPYUZ4nRLwTl9Wd1JQX0hFejg/view.
If you are using other device, use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/firmware-moto-x-style-pure-stock-t3272486 to find your device, but this threads links are very slow.

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
Where and how do I type this? I have everything else done.
Hi,
I followed this instructions and I have two problems:
It only boots using flashboot boot boot.img (in fact I can't do the fastboot reboot-bootloader command because the previous command just boots the phone)
There's no wifi, I tried flashing the modem linked before but I think that's for 5.1.1 so it didn't work

For this you need adb files on your PC.
You should read this thread, for how to get this files on your PC.
Then:
Basically, open terminal within adb driver folder, connect phone via USB to PC with USB Debugging ON, and you are ready to go - boot your phone into fastboot mode (shut down phone first, and then power+volume down) and now your are ready to use this command: fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin, but remember to put this "NON-HLOS.bin" file into folder where you opened terminal from.
But if you experience problems, I suggest just install TruPureXMM ROM. It whould be much easier!
Good luck!

Hello!
Have you read my other thread?
I have explained all my steps there, my device is Moto X Style (XT1572).
But I can suggest also use TruPureXMM ROM. Right now I am using this rom for about month, you could try it!
Good luck!
No luck with reflashing NON-HLOS.bin
I tried systemless root on my moto x pure marshamallow. Now the wifi is not working at all. I tried reflashing the NON-HLOS.bin but no luck there. Is there any way to solve this issue? Or should i revert back to lollipop seems like it is working just fine for others on lollipop.

Lets start from beginning.
What is your device codename (region)?
This morning I my phone pesented itself in TWRP.
Maybe this is because over the past days I repeatedly got notifications that a system upgrade wanted to install itself (I have a modified 26s X720 from Tora33).
I rejected those notifications.
Now I am stuck in TWRP and I cannot get around it. What I tried:
Reinstalling previous firmware (Tora33 26s) still on the phone
Restoring a TWRP backup from 6 months ago (TWRP didn't see it, maybe it's from a previous TWRP version, I now have v. 3.1)
Flash via fastbood factory image using Mauro's Tool All In One (error message "can't find file mke2fs.conf")
Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system; then install Mauro_V2.2 cleansed 23s firmware which I transferred to the phone
Every time it boots up in TWRP.
Your bricked you never flash ota with twrp you should read before doing anything.
The only thing that can help is ofil.
I suggest you study well before trying it.

Oh boy. Thanks anyway. OTA flashed itself, couldn't stop it. Maybe I made it worse by trying to fix.
The bootloader is not locked according to the AIO tool. I can flash succesfully any firmware, only after flashing the phone will still boot in TWRP. It is strange it still boots in TWRP. Is there no simpler trick like flashing the standard recovery and then flashing OFW?
You mention Ofil; do you think the guide described here work?

Yes, that QFIL guide is for the x720.
In my opinion, the best way to return stock is to push update.zip into phones main folder, then install stock recovery, then in this one install update zip then check that OS is working. If it is, then go into twrp and wipe. Can't do it?
I'll mention myself;

If he was just going back stock that would work he flash 28s ota with twrp so this will not work.

No brick after OFW push 28s
The pushed (unvoluntary) update didn't brick my phone after all. This may be important for those that have modified stock ROMs with TWRP.
Not being able to restore OFW was a bug in Mauro's All-in-One tool which he fixed last night. After I could easily flash 20S or 26S stock from his repository. I would also recommend this as safest/easiest procedure. Afterwards you can just flash TWRP from the same tool and move from there.
By the way, immediately after flashing 20s the FW notified it wanted to update itself, again!
