Is it possible downgrade from 6.x to 5.2? I got HDMI CEC related problem in 6.x and want to downgrade, but as some say downgrade from 5.x to 3.x will brick it and I am afraid it will also brick from 6.x to 5.x
If you had try downgrade from 6.x to 5.x please leave a message to let us know you are successful or not.

Hi, the safest way to do it is by NOT flashing blob.bin file that comes inside nvidia's recovery image .zip package as that's the bootloader and downgrading the bootloader is the one thing that can potentially hard brick your Shield TV.
Only flash:
boot.img, recovery.img, system.img and vendor.img
You're welcome!

Danger of hard brick
Mind you, the you that you have installed the version 5.1 and you please do downgrade.
If possible downgrade and works CORRECTLY, but does not drop the bootloader version. (Motorola apparently not contemplated back the bootloader)
Well, if after downgrade accept an OTA, OTA is flash the bootloader and, being superior version, fails, result: this just corrupt. The phone turns off and no more lights. If the computer connect this is recognized as QHUSB_BULK. That while you have battery, since neither charge.
There are many moto g afflicted with the same problem, and have been waiting to release the BLANKFLASHFILES files needed to revive the phone. Unfortunately it seems that Motorola only thing it does is send to the affected to a technical service, with subsequent payment of repair, as it seems to those files could change the IMEI, etc.
So you know, maybe not downgrade, but if ye do not accept any OTA, the cell dies.
I speak from experience,The announcement is made
I downgrade from 5.1 to 5.0.2 thanks for the info bro

i downgrade my moto e XT1524 and he's hard brick
moto G solution does not work for the moto e
is the a solution ???
can someone explain this with some better english?
In short, please never install any OTA update if you have downgraded from 5.1 stock rom to 5.0.2 stock rom. Otherwise your moto e will be dead permanently as motorola will never release the files to recover it.
If you have hardbricked in this way, only solution is to sell all parts individually except the motherboard like me. I have recovered 50% of its cost (Moto E 1st Gen).
Would flashing 5.0.2 bootloader along with downgrading prevent this issue ?

Excluding the flash bootloader probably would avoid the brick

LOL yeah no kidding..
I've done it but...
Like none of these guys mention.. Most use custom roms and god knows what else.
Most people here use CM and then assume everyone else does too
I have done it a few times and had no problems.

Sorry, I don't understand.
If I downgrade to be safe from brick I should:
a) Leave the the 5.1 bootloader
or
b) Flash the 5.0.2 bootloader and then flash Lollipop 5.0.2
?
Thanks in advance.

If you already have version 5.1 bootloader CAN NOT DOWNGRADE, that's what causes the brick.
The flash fails and nothing happens, do not touch it.
The OTA is that if it tries to update and how it can not be corrupted. No more lights.

Even if you would want, you couldn't downgrade INCLUDING bootloader )))
If the phone is unlocked, then any kernel, system, modem, and recovery can be flashed. Feel free to experiment, but don't receive any OTA after that. Receiving OTA on unlocked Motorola phone is prohibited, generally speaking. OTA mechanism isn't aware of every of your modification inside the phone, so kills what's not right to him.

Hi guys,
New to the forum here. I've flashed B170 a while back to get the most stable Lollipop edition, but I'd really like to try Marshmallow. The thing is, I can't figure out how to downgrade it back to B100/B121/B130 or to Upgrade it to B313. Is it possible to do either of those two things without an unlocked bootloader? There doesn't seem to be a way of flashing any packages on the phone, so I've sort of resigned myself to having to flash it via adb, but is this possible when I don't have an unlock code for the bootloader? Thanks for any help; I've really read through all the threads, but I couldn't come up with an answer.
Hi !
In order to upgrade to MM, you will have to downgrade to an upgradable version like B140. All the things you need are in the MM Upgrade topic of this forum.
In order to rollback from MM fo Lollipop, everything is explained in the same topic but you'll have to download a temporary system (B300) and then you'll be able to downgrade. Anyway, everything is in the MM Update topic.
I don't think you have to unlock bootloader to do all that but it would be easier because you would be able to use Honor 7 Multitool which is a software that does everything for you in no time
Good luck (MM version of the Honor 7 is awesome !)

Thanks for the reply! However, you can't use the B300 rollback on B170 (which is a Lollipop rom), can you? I've read the Marshmallow topic, and I was none the wiser - I can't seem to figure out if there's any way to get back to an upgradable version without flashing with the Honor tool (which requires an unlocked bootloader, non?). Sorry for the n00b-factor!

so many treads around here described the solution to do! Please use the search engine too
read following from there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64673136&postcount=74
and...
try to flash the B313 Rollback file first!
Maybe it will stop with "not successful!" nearly ~93% but THIS DOESN’T MATTER! a reboot should bring you to interim B300. Then you should be able to flash the B121 Full update out of your dload folder from your internal SD. If this work, you should be able to update to B313. You do not lost your personal data, but make a backup to be sure!
I am planning to root my ZE551ML. I have .194 firmware.
Will it work fine to root using method 3 with my current firmware? And I can update OTA if ever there's an update right?
Another thing, will I be forced to reset my phone or wipe data? I hope not coz most of my accounts like steam, etc. are already linked.
Thanks for the replies. I appreciate all input as I am still learning.
I hope to receive any response..
If you don't want to unlock your bootloader or reset/wipe your phone's data(like me) then use method 2 from this link:

Guys, I want to know whether the Asus official bootunlocker tool can be used in the MM .111 beta build.
Also, can I move to cm 13 directly from MM beta build after unlocking bootloader??....or should I downgrade to lollipop to do so....??

There's no official asus bootloader unlocking tool for any MM rom coz there's no official MM rom for zf2. So you should to downgrade to official LP
and then you should unlock boorloader and then you can install whatever you want.
I have a Huawei VNS-L31 and got the update to Emui 5.0. I have now the Ver. NRD90M test-keys. Is it possible to root with the same method that I used before on Android Marshmallow? I also noted that some people say that they're stuck on this version. Is this one somehow bad?
Thanks!

I have nouget too you can easily downgrade if you do it right most people just get it wrong and you can root with a PC look in the guides section of the p9 lite fourms and you should find it there if not look.uo a guide on google it uses a pc but there is no way to do it on the device its self after you've flashed AND booted into nouget as twrp is not supported yet you had to flash nouget and then flash an elite kernel to get root after updating you'll have to either use a PC or wait.

No, I know how to root on MM, but I can't downgrade cause my NRD90M test-keys version is not official.
I did not use the classic TWPR.
I have the same version as you and I put on the recovery Revolution with the root revolution and everything works very well ...
You have to flash the recovery.img in fastboot and here you go!
If you can not root I think you can change Rom without problem

Hello everyone,
I am here to tell you guys. If you ever updated/flashed stock nougat soak test/ official updates on your moto x play. And if you reverted back to marshmallow. Then don't flash any ota updates you've recieved . Because it will result in a hardbrick (no fastboot/recovery mode).
As of now, there are no proper blank flash files to rescue device from hardbrick .blank flash files are present in leaked nougat soak test fastboot firmware. But they aren't working on these hardbricked devices
And I have seen almost 5-7 guys in past few days hard bricking their device by flashing ota updates
Motorola already mentioned that once updated you cannot rollback to previous android versions.
NOTE: You cannot downgrade to a previous software version after installing this update.

I applied a guy's Twrp recovery n now m on Sept. 1 security path along with 7.1.1 . Will it brick my phone if I flash 6.0.1 again through adb. ?? And please suggest a way to root Moto x play on 7.1.1 the old version of super su isn't working.
---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------
Plus suggest a Valid way to get back to 6.0.1 . Bettery life is terrible on 7.1.1 . It was bit better on 6.0.1...even after clearing dalvic cache n all the stuff from Twrp..device can be hard bricked??? ..
my devices is bricked ****
Once you have decided to use custom rom and unlocked your bootloader, you no longer use stock rom. even if you use stock rom, you shall not accept or install OTA updates.
Many guys got their devices hard bricked including me and there is no fix till date.. Gave to various service centers and all are saying to change Mother Board, which may cost around 8k approximately.. Emmc can be flashed via Jtag box.. But guys using Jtag box are very rare.. As of now my MXP is kinda paper weight !!!

There is no working blank flash files available.. You can get the MB Jtag Flashed or get the MB replaced.
Oh man, I wish I had this information before. Now my Moto X Play is also bricked
Well, I guess I'll wait to see if a method to unbrick comes along in the near future.
