[Q] Steps to be able to get the Lollipop update on rooted devices? - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys!!
I have a Motorola Moto E (XT1022) device which I have rooted and have xposed framework installed. Since the Lollipop update is just around the corner, I was wondering what would the steps be to be able to download it and update the device. This may be a problem for many other users too. So please tell how to do this and what all do we have to do (like unroot, flashing etc.).
THANK YOU!!!

You can go back to stock and locked bootloader and wait to OTA, or you can stay with your current rom and wait untill someone uploads a flasheable zip of 5.0

So I have to uninstall the xposed framework, then full unroot via SuperSu and then flash stock firmware?

from what i've heard are ... no root, no edited apks, no disabled apks, full stock without removing anything was installed first
i think better flash stock firmware first beside uninstalling any apks which can edit your system, to prevent any leftover from those apk

No, that steps not needed,u can continue to reflash as it is,but u will lose all installed apps after flashing,

you just have to revert back to your stock rom..nothing more i guess..whn the ota arrives it will automatically break your root..so just try to get back to your stock rom asap..those who are expcting soaks to arrive..lyk me al d bst

The thing is after we update it to lollipop. the xposed framework wont work in Lollipop cause the runtime were using is ART. and root may still be in test.

To take OTA Update
Restore unrooted stock rom backup(if you have) or Go to stock rom, uninstall Xposed framework and it's modules, uninstall su app(may be not necessary)
Then flash stock recovery and take ota update. That's how I updated from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4.

Don't flash the stock rom!!

Hey harsh I went through same problem when moto e got updated to 4.4.4. I had rooted 4.4.3 stock rom on my phone on which I removed all the bloatwares. I decided to reflash stock rom on it... And when I did it I got OTA but it refused to install because the bootloader won't lock again. Then I waited for somebody to upload 4.4.4 stock rom on XDA (which usually come after a week or so after OTA) and I flashed that rom. And It went Smoothly... So just wait for people to upload Lollipop ? roms!! Good luck

Have anyone know when will soak test come out ??

have patience my boy:angel:....the wait is about end very soon, and i mean it //

You need to revert to stock recovery and ROM. It is not essential for you to use the "oem lock" command to relock your bootloader as it will enable you to obtain root after the update. Cheers

Don't bother with re flashing your ROM and backup and restore just wait for a while you will sure get an flashable lollipop right after its on air...

Hey guys, i am on the stock rom. I just unlocked the bootloader , rooted the phone. What steps exactly do i need to follow to get the ota update ? As far as i know, i need to be on the stock recovery. How do i know which recovery i am on ? I have the stock recovery image. I guess, i dont need to flash the stock rom again as i didn't flash any custom rom. I need to unroot, and then flash stock recovery to get the ota, right ?? Do i need to lock the bootloader ? Please give me a detailed answer, i have been looking for an answer for so long but haven't found one.
Thanks. Appreciate any help

U said u have simply rooted yr cell, so u havent flashed any custom recovery. So u are having stock recovery.
Now simply unroot yr device and wait for ota.
It doesn't matter if yr bootloader is locked or unlocked, its fine even if u have unlocked bootloader.

you dont need to unroot to change roms you should be able to flash any rom (as long as you have the right recovery and what not)
If your talking about just stock ROM rooted and wanting to get the 4.3 OTA then im 99% sure that once you root which (means you unlocked the bootloader) you cant receive the OTA anymore. im not sure if its worth the hastle of relocking the bootloader to maybe see if youll get the ota. just flash a 4.3 rom and youll be good.

cool thx im gonna try to flash a 4.3 rom
so i flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499452 and now super user says there is no SU binary installed , if you upgraded to android 4.3 , you need to manually re-root-consult the relevant forums for your divece . could anyone help me out here i dont know what to do, do i need to re root the phone?
All you have to do is download chainfire latest superuser zip and reboot into recovery and choose it and install it .
You don't need to reroot if you already flashed a Rom..that means you was able to flash it cause u was rooted .
You just need to install superuser zip.

How to install
Roms only wipes caches and formats system . I would recommend wiping data too
1. Download Rom to internal or external storage
2. Boot to Recovery
3. Make a backup
4. (Wipe all) Flash Rom (I would not recommend trying to flash this over JB)
5. Reboot system
Thanks Dsixda for Android Kitchen
Thanks Trickdroid for parts of the script
Thanks to Pradeep/Andhrl/Farazhassan for dumps/various files/backups
To Other Devs, feel free to use this as a base for your own ROMs.
I have no intentions of adding any mods to this ROM. This is merely a base for other devs to customize for their own builds. I do not plan on doing any firmware update zips/write-ups, so please don't ask.

You can go to stock completely but it's de-odexed so OTA's would not install
so i could flash this rom
install stock recovery
remove root from this rom after flashing
remove tampered banner
lock bootloader again
then its stock without ota support right ?
or does the thread owner has the stock not rooted secure boot and not deodexed laying around somewhere too ??
would you upload it ?

You should find the RUU for your specific device. If you are unlocked and S-OFF you can RUU back to what ever version you can find then take the OTA's.

This a custom recovery flashable rom zip. You need to RUU back to stock in order to get any HTC updates. No custom recovery rom will allow you to get factory updates. You must have stock recovery.

this is the stock rom with stock kernal but superuser is there
The rom has been Deodexed by me.. so far everything works fine.
here are the instructions...
1 download this file https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_C-OhmCtZWAZE9PUlFSdWtWaXc/view?usp=sharing
2 place on to sd card
3 boot into twrp..
4 make backup of exiting rom
5 to a typiclal wipe (personally i did full wipe including internal memory to make sure of no conflicts)
6 install rom
7 reboot
8 open superuser app download app and install through twrp
9 reboot and bingo Bobs your Uncle
thanks to Prucho for his original work
I will be following this upin a few days with the rooted jmz version of this rom also deodexed...

with a deodexed rom it makes it much easier for removing of apps for instance i was able to get rid of nearly all the htc apps, twitter and facebook... when i originally tried to do it with rom toolbox before it would only uninstall the updates and still leave the original app... also with this it should conceivably be easier to start porting roms to our phone...

I dont know truth be told.. there are some differences between the at&t model and the eu model... so i wouldn't advise trying it but.. i do know that some people who have the eu model have flash the at&t rom successfully... as always I can't take any responsibility for any problems occur from flashing it..

[Q] Is unrooting via stock recovery back up possible?

Now i am in stock Lollipop(Stock recovery also).I have a made a back up using stock recovery .
If i root my phone now and when 5.1 OTA comes then by restoring the back up will unroot the phone or not??
And by doing this shall i be able to download and install OTA ?
Or can anyone running soak test lollipop upload the lollipop recovery by extracting using flashify??

It's really simple, and as you already have TWRP, you don't need anything extra. But still, make a backup of your current rom.
