Steps to Install 5.1.1
Well,
You can install a custom rom....for me worked perfectly a Google AOSP 5.1.1 because is the same Nexus Device Rom.
1st step is unlock your device and is mandatory - We know this process unlock Bootloader-
You can get your unlock code from motorola , there are steps explained in the moto web page
2nd step is flash recovery
This process is put a little Software to reset cache and flash rom from zip file... for me worked fine TWRP
You need copy your rom to the device to be flashed
And the last is flash a logo to remove ugly wearning screen and install Gapps -Software from Google , chrome, maps, drive,andoid play etc....-
That`s all man...

I have the Motorola e 2nd and need to update my operation system/

I have Republic Wireless and it says my operating system is up to date but im in Lolipop 5.0 and want to upgrade to Marshmallow 6.0 without having to buy a new phone. How can i do this. Please and thank you.
Tony
You can unlock the bootloader, flash the twrp 3.0.2 and install an custom operating system like cyanogenmod 13.
Search an guide on the general section of the moto e 2nd generation.
This threads is for moto e 1st generation
Can you post a link to where i would go? I am new here and still learning to navigate the site.
I also have no idea what bootloader, twrp 3.0.2, and cyanogenmod 13 are? I am trying to install marshmallow 6.0.1.

[Advice Needed] Moto Z China Handset with NO Google Play Services

Hi all, need advice on a Moto Z [XT1650-05 Griffin] China version. I recently purchased this phone and it does not comes with Google Play Services and unfortunately the device prevent me from manually install them into the phone (the services stopped automatically) even with downloaded APK from apkmirror.
Have anyone trying to install Google Play Services into the phone ? or is there a way to install it ? Need advice from all gurus. Appreciated.
Thanks.
flash other regions' firmware, like EU's or US's, there are some choices on this forum. and boot img and system img from all variants of moto z's firmware can be inter-flashed, even other imgs (exclude the bootloader and gpt img). remember there always are risks when flashing or fastbooting anything unofficial.
I'm using the Chinese version with Euro firmware because I'm a google service user and I like the stock Android. It is suggested to flash Euro firmware to the Chinese model for the two models has the same hardware(except the dual sim slot).
For the latest version XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_RETEU-EMEA_6.0.1_MPL24.246-17_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-03_CFC_EMEA.xml, just unlock the BL and completely flash it with RSD Lite(Erase command should be included, remember to backup), and all the function will be alright, the dual SIM card work fine, too. But if you live in China and use vpn for google play service, the battery life will be a little shorter than normal.
By the way, you can also flash open Gapps to the Chinese firmware with TWRP recovery if you like Lenovo's UI.

if you don't mind me asking, can I flash this rom with RSD for the chinese XT1650-05 version?

I flashed @JackyGreen rooted rom on my 1650-05 and have no problem at all
Going from experience with earlier Moto cross-flashes: They work fine with no side effects but one.
You'll most likely but cut off from future OTAs so any update will have to be installed manually. But that's easily done if you follow this forum.

This should be a gold rule for every rooted/twrp provided phone anyway...

True, but the beauty of Moto cross-flashes was, that they could be performed without a custom bootloader and even without bootloader unlock. Not sure if that's still the case with the Z series (I see no reason why it wouldn't, tbh) but it was true for the previous X series.

I've never had a Moto with android before (I come from LG mainly, with some experiment with different brands...) but... more I know them, more I like them!
The impression I had is that they are really hard to brick... quite every error can be recovered eventually.... :fingers-crossed:

Hello, I haven't tested that rom, but as the instructions by JackyGreen, it could be flashed by either RSD or adb commands.

Upgrading CM9.1 on my i9100

Hi all,
Its time to upgrade Android 4.0.4 to a newer version.
Whats-app isn't working anymore and some other apps.
I would like to run it smoothly with all functions working correctly, especially GPS. So the latest android isn't needed i think.
I am thinking of CM12.1 (5.1) to start with. I know i have to resize my system partition and flash a compatible recovery.
But i can't find a step by step guide as this is a pretty old version. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
thanks
As far as I remember, you don't have to repartition until Android 6.
Also, Android 5 ROMs are quite outdated, and might contain several security vulnerabilities. I would recommend going for LineageOS 11 ROM (Android 4.4.4) by grzwolf here on XDA. It contains latest Android Security Patches. Here's a KitKat compatible recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79196916&postcount=230

Thanks for your advice. I should get this working.
However I see Gapps from 2016 have to be used. Will GMaps and the Play store update themselves to a new version after installation or will i get stuck with the old ones?

It seems like you need to flash ROM, boot into it, then reboot to recovery and flash latest OpenGApps, reboot again and then you should be able to sign in to the play store:

Edit- I just figured out the models listed in this thread are not the one I have.
I may be a little slow, but does this mean we can root and run Android on our Idol 4s? Also, I'm not sure what my model number is. It's an unlocked idol 4s in the United States.
Thanks!

Correct, you have the Windows version of the Idol 4. There was work being done to convert it to an android device but I don't think it's being worked on anymore. Last I knew there was a bootloader unlock available for it
unlock
Thanks for the app, i have a question, is it possible to unlock without having to pay, i already went to a local shop but they couldnt do it because i had it rooted With an old versión of TWRP

the AIO Toolkit isn't for you because we have no firehose programmer file. You can try the 6055k firehose if you want. Los16 should work fine for you
@PizzaG sorry for bothering you again, i have follow all steps but it appear this message in the moment to push the button download: " Download Fail:Sahara FailSahara Fail ", should I try to root the phone separately? and then continue with the steps of treble & gsi?.
really thanks for your kind attention and effort.

Hello!
I did all the steps, rooted and installed OrangeFox recovery, and next thing I know, it says there is no OS installed on my Idol 4 6055k. My mistake, I thought it would install a custom ROM as well, since it says up there:

I can't find the ROMs anywhere. I tried to go back to stock, but recovery won't recognize SDcard (other phones do recognize it). I tried to sideload the stock zip file, fail.
Sorry to bother you man, I'm out of my depth. Please, leave me some instructions how to go back to stock or how to install native LOS and where to download it from. Thanks!

Come to our group and we'll get you fixed up. You are correct, No roms are flashed unless you flash them. The toolkit only gets you setup for GSI roms, which you have to get. Native Android 9 works very well, so you have a couple differents choices.

Question Installing OxygenOS 13 DN2101 ROM on DN2103 model

Hi,
I found full stable Oxygen OS 13 ROM version F22 for DN2101. When I try local update on DN2103 I always get verification failed message.
Is there any way to install it without unlocking bootloader?
I dont wanna mess to much with the phone as I know there is no much support for Mediatek devices if I get hard brick.
Link for the ROM is in the video description on yt:
Hello, I have the same problem, I have dn2101 android 12.1 and it also fails in local installation, but when I want to unlock the bootloader and I enter recovery, I don't see the advanced option....

You cant unlock bootloader because oneplus blocked it for some reason on latest 12.1 update. I tried to roolback to Android 11 so I can flash EvoX Rom but also getting verification failed message.

Hello, yes, I went down to android 11 and unlocked the bootloader, but I closed it again, later I'll try maybe to install twrp and some gsi rom, well I just bought it and I don't want to bother her.
