Title says it all. Before flashing the download, take a look in your /cache folder and see if you can save it.
EDIT: Can you tether with your non verizon sim card?

Or use adb and grab a logcat.
The update has already been posted as the soak. Now a full files are needed for mofo to be tested.
And I was happy to have that soak file, Shane!
No problem. Now I think if someone who has taken the update did a system pull of 5.1 I think that'd be helpful for the developers. You might need root for that though :/ I can't quite remember
We need the FXZ in order to get the full system.img to use with mofo. Right now the OTA only patches the existing one.
Why not just use the soak? Same build

Yes but our copies of MoFo won't work if you upgrade the bootloader on your device.

Yeah
My current plan is to flash everything except motoboot.img and gpt.bin from the new update and see if it boots in order to preserve the ability to root. I've been checking MDM (finally got it to work!) though and they haven't pushed it out yet.
I hope mofo gets working with 5.1
I'm dying to try it, but I need tether now that I have it.

Me too but I hope that the boot.img will flash with the 5.0 bootloader and partition table not upgraded.

Just be careful, because the minute MDM downloads and then uncompresses the files, it starts to install them on your device. If you disconnect your device from your computer during the download, I am pretty sure that MDM just stops.
The reason Im dying for root now, is that before when I had my ATT sim card, I could tether just fine, was enabled and everything, without root. As long as I didnt run a verizon sim I could tether. Now, it stops at communicating with server. I dont understand why they would now block other carriers tethering as well. This was the reason I didnt care much about root, was I figured I would be unaffected. Am I ever regretting buying a verizon device. Never again.

So when you put an AT&T SIM in a Verizon Moto X 2014 running 5.1 it won't tether on AT&T? But it would tether on AT&T on 5.0 with tethering enabled? What AT&T plan are you on?
Have you tried the app HotSpot Control?

Correct, it will not tether on other networks now. I have a Straight talk ATT sim. LTE / HSPA+ I have not tried it, but I will as long as I can without root

I think this is one of the issues with using Verizon devices on GSM carriers. The build.prop file is set up for Verizon, not the other carrier's system.
If the bootloader is unlocked then you can mess around with the Verizon settings.
With iPhones, Apple can control Verizon but with Androids, Verizon controls the phone manufacturers and gets them to do things Verizon's way. If you can unlock the bootloader, you can take control back. If not, then you are at the mercy of Verizon and their policies.

I did try chainfires hotspot control and still no luck. Such a bummer. Makes me want to go back to my moto g with cm12

Hopefully maiko1 will be able to crack the 5.1 bootloader.
I too have learned my lesson with these locked down tight phones. I bought my Moto X 2014 on Cyber Monday but it sat unused until April when we got MoFo. I can't live w/o tethering so I will never buy another Verizon phone until a root method exists that can give me free tether. The problem is that it is getting harder and harder for the devs to find ways to do that. I really want to stick with Motorola but if there is no Dev Ed for the MX15, then I won't get it. I worry that there won't be any other options though.

I still confused. So, if I have ATT phone (locked bootloader) on T-Mobile network, will tethering be working if I update to 5.1? I am on KK 4.4.4 now and tethering works with no issues.

I was able to tether an ATT sim on 5.0, updated to 5.1 OTA and now cannot.
Im on 5.1 and i could tether just fine! I have T-Mobile. Maybe if you disable as many Verizon apps as you can it could work? (and clear their data) That's what I did.
Now that we have root, is there a way to utilize the built-in hotspot? I use FoxFi currently, but it's a few extra steps, and it seems to disconnect after running for a few hours. I know on some phones you could change build.prop settings to enable it.
I used the module X Tether for Xposed on my S5, it worked on Kitkat and Lollipop. Not sure if it will work for Marshmallow though.
I'm wondering the same this would give me a legitimate reason to root.

I flashed the unlocked edition firmware, and I was able to enable the hotspot with no problems.
I am on Verizon, and i have the tethering option available w/o root.
Its been a while since I have used this site or rooted anything. I have a Version LG V20 but im using it on T-Mobile. I need to root to get hotspot working (or like foxfi which i have but its not updated for wifi with V20 Yet)
Anyway, regardless of alternative solutions I think I just want to root the device, can anyone point me in the right direction as to where to get started?

T mobile has it's own root. DO not do the dirty santa root. You will brick the device. Check the dev section for t mobile root.

He has a verizon device on tmobile service.
How did you get your Verizon v20 to work on T-Mobile? I can't get phone and data to work at the same time,When I do after a couple of minutes I lose all signal.Would love some info if available. I thought it wouldn't be a issue.My moto z and z force worked with no issue what so ever on T-Mobile.

Is your phone model VS995? Then you need Dirty Santa method.
Is your phone model h918? Then you need Dirty Cow.
The provider you are on doesn't matter. It is the phone model that matters.
Anyway to enable wifi hotspot on Sprint Galazy S7 without root? I have read several posts of rebooting and it only works for few seconds. All APN settings are locked down or disabled.

This works... Im using it right as I type this.. Working hotspot too...
XAA still on BL2 and rooted with SamFail long long time ago.
At this point I'm using root only to modify build.prop and skip subscription check on tethering since I have the old GUDP.
If I upgrade to G950U1UEU5DSC1, will I be able to use native hotspot?
I understand that I'll lose WiFi Calling. What else do I lose?
Thank you!
Bump
