I restored after upgrading via TWRP Flashable ZIP (not via AdB fastboot) and restored my kk backup successfully.
In my thought the bootloader upgrade and downgrade only happnes when u flash ROM via Fastboot, so u can downgrade by flashing Stock LP flashable zip, but flash at ur own risk
Did u flashed the soak test ota zip, and then were u able to restore the nandroid backup [kitkat] successfully without any problem? Thats all I want to know..

Yes I got it what u said. But I don't wanna upgrade to Stock Lollipop by either of this two methods. Isn't there a flashable rom zip of Stock Lollipop that would be easily flashable like other custom roms ??

Tried to find but there isn't any. The only way to upgrade I see is first flash the stock 4.4.4 firmware and then flash the soak test ota. In this way there could be some possibility of hard brick while downgrading or by any other method. Thats why I don't wanna upgrade in this way, I better stay with Kitkat and wait till someone come up with a flashable stock pure lollipop rom

Well, I think I've found what I was looking for. Thank you!

Hi all, i'm pleased to share my work with you.
Here you have the latest official lollipop firmware for D855 ( v. 20A - LRX21M) packed in a zip flashable file.
I made this because all of us want to keep the old bootloader that is - at the moment - the only one who accept the bumped TWRP provided us by team Codefire.
I made also a step further and found a way to root this ROM.
Here you go:
First of all i suggest you to install the TWRP modded by me to allow the backup of the modem.
Be sure you select also the modem partition before taking the backup. ( If you want to restore the backup then restore also the modem )
1- download the two files and put them into the sdcard;
2- reboot in recovery and do a factory reset;
3- install the ROM and the supersu ZIP;
4- reboot the device and enjoy your rooted Lollipop ROM.
If you come from an earlier lollipop firmware you can dirty flash, it might work.
I spend a lot of time developing this so if you think i deserve you can donate ( look at my sign )
DOWNLOAD
SUPERSU flashable ZIP
ROM
MIRROR
KK MODEM ( you need this only if you downgrade from lollipop to kitkat and you don't need if you backed up before with the modded TWRP recovery)
DONATORS:( really tnx guys)

Changelog:
- 13.11.2014 - updated to the official LRX21M - 20A ( poland FW )
Q&A
What this ROM include?
In the ROM zip you can find only the system, modem and kernel (bumped) image
What do i need to flash this?
You need only to have the TWRP recovery installed
If i flash this i will lose the bumped recovery?
Nope. The bootloader will not be changed.
If i want go back to KK roms ( stock or AOSP) what i have to do?
Just flash your ROM or restore a previous nandroid backup. But, after that, flash the zip with the KK modem you can find in the 1st post.
I really need to flash the root files?
Must i answer????
Cannot write to internal SD?
With adb or a terminal emulator do:
Code:
su
restorecon -v -R /data/media
Your statusbar and navbar are gone?
This is a issue reported from some user.
Try to format manually data in TWRP before install the rom.
If this doesn't work try flashing the kdz of the H firmware ---> root ----> twrp ----> install this rom ( sperimental).
Doesn't have the option to enable LTE?
Go with a root browser to system/app/Lteconfigs/, click and install the apk, then reboot and you will have the option for LTE.
Wwooiootttttt?????

Like i said in the other post really tnx. My wife and my childs are gonna kill me for the time spent on the PC!
Now this is the stuff. Maybe this G3 wasn't a bad choice after all. Beer (or some wine to keep the wife happy) incoming when I'm not at work
beast.
thank you! could you possibly link to the tot/kdz you used to downgrade from lollipop to kitkat?
What kernel do you use for rooting? 4.4 or custom?
Wait wut? So this is all done in the stock recovery? No root, no custom recovery needed? Just bang it all on the sd card and go?

Sweet, great news!
Sorry for this question but after flashing this rom via bump twrp can we go back to KK Aosp by flashing it back? Or do we need to connect to a PC to restore back to stock fw?

The D855 is the international version.

I have a moto E dual Sim !! my phone is rooted with Cynaogen mod 11 installed!! now i cant install motoral service update from playstore to install Lollipop updates!
Rooted phones cannot survive the OTA's.
Don't even try to go for an OTA you would end bricking you phone.

You need to be on stock ROM to install stock updates. As simple as that.
You need to be on pure stock rom (no optimized or debloated) and you can recieve OTA (after ota update u cant downgrade to kitkat) so if u want easy just flah the flashable 5.0.2 update search in forum (this way you can downgrade)
P.S : why not u just flash CM12 as that has more features then Stock ROM and bug free now...

Either flash twrp via fastboot and flash CM12.
Or flash your stock KitKat and wait for LP OTA.
Its totally your choice if you want to remain on stock or continue with custom ROM.
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??

Hardbrick only occures when u flash downgrade firmware via Fastboot, so if u dont want hardbrick. Flash the ROMs via TWRP recovery as its not flash Bootloader, download Flasheble ROMs and flash via recovery it wont hardback.

you can get it from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/index-moto-e-original-android-dev-roms-t3000181
. if for any reason the download link doesnt work then search in the general forum for 4.4.4 firmware.
I am running 'Resurrection remix' rom on my Mot E xt-1022. I want to install a kitkat 'custom rom'. Do I need to go through the downgrading process posted here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/safely-restore-to-stock-t3165344
or
I just need to flash the kitkat custom rom as we do normally?
The tutorial is for downgrading to stock Kitkat once you has updated to stock Lollipop. With custom ROM that only flash the boot and system partitions there is no need to follow that guide.
PS: I can hardly write in english.

to my knowledge yes you can flash your custom rom normally that is if it dosen't have any bugs .
but the link you posted is to downgrade to stock rom. if you want stock rom then yes you have to go though that process.
if you just need rom to flash and not bootloader download rom from http://motorola-condor.blogspot.in/p/xt-1022motorola-stock-firmware-romxt.html and flash it normally do this at your own risk i am not responsible for consequences

Thank you and @GSebas for the replies. Will try it to soon. The phone becomes so slow on lollipop and marshmallow. Kitkat is probably the best rom for low-end phones. But the inbuilt 4G ROM makes to look at custom ROMs.
