Thanks sir for the quick reply, I have unlocked the bootloader of my phone (MOTO E Dual SIM).
I want to ask the following before flashing the ROMs in my phone; please help:
1. What does official and unofficial mean?
Does it mean that the OS is released from MOTOROLA and unofficial is the created ROM by members of XDA or others.
2. Do we have to root the phone first and then flash the CM11 before installing CM12 or CM12.1
and is CM12 a stable ROM like CM11?
3. What is the use of going from OS 5.1 released from MOTO to home made CM12.1?
4. And which CM12.1 should I install as there are lots of CM12.1 available online, pls give link....
regards

1. Official means that the ROM will be supported by the CyanogenMod Team so u will recieve daily OTA update contains with bugfixes and new features, custom ROMs not maintained by the Motorola or any device Manufacturers, custom ROMs like CM12.1 provided by CyanogenMod Team and The ROMs for the specific device's are maintained by our xda Devs, if u unlocked your bootloader and rooted your phone already yout warranty automatically void, so u lost the support from motorola, motorola only updates on stock rom that comes with your device out of the box, this custom ROMs nothing related to motorola
2.some phone bootloop when flashed cm12.1 directly above stock rom, so flashing cm11 first and flashing cm12.1 then solves it, CM12.1 is fully stable,
3. Going from stock rom to CM12.1 the use is u get more tons of features that stock rom not provide you,
You not need to download ota every day, download weekly or monthly, your wish
Don't forgot to flash gapps with the ROM

Sir,
Is it necessary to root the phone first before installing TWRP recovery and ROM.
Is there any step by step guide for installing TWRP recovery and then flashing CM11.

The problem with this guide is that the download "mfastboot-v2" after downloading does not show any file or is corrupted.
Secondly in step 4 it says "copy it into the root of your internal memory" Where does it want to copy the files on PC or on mobile's root.
Thirdly can't understand point 9.
"Press power button and do swipe to unlock to get your touch working again!
As Motorola released source code for the kernel, @cybojenix has fixed the touch issue, you can skip to step 10 directly!"
THen I tried using the below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2754358
But it is silent how to flash twrp recovery and super user through adb.
Then I tried this which helped me to unlock my phone but is silent about rooting the phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2753110
Lastly I am unable to find a time when do I have to backup my mobile OS, is it after flashing TWRP recovery and rooting the phone.
Also I am not sure how to flash TWRP recovery as there is a method saying that I have to install the TWRP manager and give root permissions for installing TWRP recovery but I still have to root the phone.

yes , I did.
I specifically checked the downloads again and it all says condor.
however, sometimes when i rebooted after flashing, it said that superuser is not installed.However, i already had it.
but that error only occured a few times.
are there some pre-requisites i need to meet before i flash the rom
Did you factory reset before flashing new rom? And after install just to be sure? Have you updated recovery to newest version? Did you make sure you downloaded the correct rom for your dual sim phone? Have you looked over the forum to see if anyone is having the same issue as you? Do you flash Google apps after rom? You should wait for after first boot to install Google apps. If you do these things then you shouldnt have a problem

get the latest twrp recovery. and follow the exact steps mentioned in the original rom thread. You should install it then successfully.
To root the phone again, just flash superuser zip after you install rom

Yeah, I had the same problem on my condor dual sim. After flashing *any* custom rom, I tried CM12.1, Euphoria, stock android 5.1.1 (for condor) and nothing would work. I wiped everything, did try to boot several times...
This thread helped because I was using old version of TWRP. I flashed the newest. But it would still hang on boot no matter what.
So I read in another thread a format of the internal memory was necessary before reporting bugs. And it ****ing worked.
this is done in TWRP from main menu WIPE > ADVANCED > type yes.
Now I'm part of this really great group of ppl running android on their devices independently on the mercy of carriers or makers.
Thanks for making this thread, I learned from here.

Need help downgrading Moto E

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.

root help kenzo

Hi guys
Ive just purchased the great kenzo last week
I just wanted to know how do i root my phone
It has 8.0.5.0
I wanted to know is there a way to do this so that i dont lose warranty
Also as i understand i will have to unlock bootloader to do this and for that i will have to place a request with xiaomi thus voiding my warranty
So is it possible to just root and not void warranty
Also if there are any options to install custom roms as well without losing warranty
Any help will be appreciated guys
I am from India
Anybody??
Requesting a bootloader unlock will not void your warranty
It is easiest done in this order:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP recovery
3. Flash SuperSU to root.

You DO NOT have to unlock your bootloader to flash twrp and then root your phone. Please see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/red...-to-flash-twrp-recovery-unlock-t3473294/page8

I think it will only work reliably on a Marshmallow based rom. So you will need to flash the latest global beta in edl mode.

I install this via edl using miui flash tool and changing the recovery to twrp in the package before installing
And then either i can root that rom or install any other rom
I do not have to unlock bootloader to do this right or install another rom following this?

I would just flash global rom, unlock bootloader and then you can flash recovery via adb. It's easier.
Just use standard TWRP or Alka.

I used Zcx twrp. It can read the encrypted data partition in Marshmallow and also disable dm-verity in the locked bootloader. You must boot into recovery immediately after flashing the ROM and before booting into MIUI or twrp will be over written.
I have not flashed other ROMs, but I did root MIUI by flashing SuperSU from twrp without any problems.

Zcx twrp has SuperSU included that you can flash. That worked for me on 6.9.29. I have since upgraded to 6.10.13. You should check out the Zcx twrp thread on the guides forum.

Hey buddy
Please help me with this
I tried reverting back to stable build from CM 13
I used edl to flash stable build but when i do it and boot the rom i don't have network.
But when i flash the dev build i do have network.
I remember restoring the modem in dev build from twrp backup got the network up and running earlier when i reverted back to dev build from cm
But i cannot do that for the stable build coz of locked bootloader and no twrp
Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong

From what I've read, that is a general problem when you revert from a MIUI mm based ROM to a lollipop ROM. There are several threads on how to solve the problem.

I think you'll have to search for the threads here or on the MIUI forums. I don't remember the full procedure, but I think it involves flashing an older version of the developer ROM before flashing the stable ROM. I have not done it myself. Xiaomi even warns in the MIUI forums that reverting to the stable Lollipop ROM from the LL developer ROM is difficult.
Good luck.

Hi sir. Thanks for the reply. That's exactly the supersu version I've tried which worked for kk but not for 5.1. The app supersu is installed but when I run it says that bin has not been installed or something like that.
The thread's steps are similar to mine steps: I install twrp-3.2.3-0 and stock 5.1 via fastboot, then install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01 under twrp.
