Are you sure you want to deal with Lollipop bugs ?!? Instead, I suggest that you could go to rooted 4.5.4 with fully working GAPPS :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-4-5-4-twrp-root-t3141648

If I install it and I don't like it then can I not just reinstall the lollipop image?

I have an official lollipop upgrade rom downloaded and installed on my huafung-bungding-giggling mobile and it works great
I have now found an official marshmallow upgrade but it says
"there’s no official rollback available right now, so you’ll have to stay on Marshmallow for a while."
If I install it and I don't like it then can I not just reinstall the lollipop image?
Please be clear with your words,
Now what ROM you are using and also let me know with andriod ver.???
Originally running Android 4.4
Recently found Android 5.1 rom official upgrade
installed and working peachy
Now I have found the official Android 6.0 rom online update for my phone
My question is if I install the marshmallow rom and I don't like it. If I have the lollipop rom what is to stop me installing it back?
I'd there something that I'm not getting, that would prevent me rolling back?
Actually I'll just go for it

I am also thinking in flashing CM13 rom based on android 6.0.1 on my Moto-E (1st Generation) XT1021...
I am currently using the following 5.1 ROM:
Retail US 5.1 ROM (Optimized) v1.0a (311mb)Non-Deodexed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=14437
That I Found in the following post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3167111
So, I would like to know if I can safely flash directly the CM13 ROM, on top of my current v5.1 ?
And if anyone here could give me the correct link to download the CM13 ROM that works best on the Moto-E XT-1021 ?
Thanks in advance for helping me !

Yes you can directly clean flash cm13 .. make sure you use gapps 6.0 .. and flash cm13 and gapps in a single session
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=condor
Here is the link to official nightlies

ABSathe, 1000 Thanks for the quick reply, for letting me know that I can directly clean flash cm13 over 5.1 and for the link to official nightlies !
Please confirm if this is the correct method to flash the CM13 ROM:
1) Boot into latest TWRP and Format Data: Wipe > Format DATA > Yes
2) Transfer ROM to SDCARD or Internal Storage: CM13 ROM + gapps 6.0
3) TWRP > Wipe > Factory reset and flash CM13 ROM, and then Flash gapps 6.0 (flash cm13 and gapps in a single session)
4) Reboot.
However, since I have already installed in my Moto-T, the version 2.8.7 of TWRP ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...recovery-twrp-2-8-6-0-touch-recovery-t3100879 ), I would like to know if is better and also you recommended me to install first ( using fastboot flash recovery) the cm-13.0-20160810-NIGHTLY-condor-recovery.img (instead of TWRP 2.8.7) ? :
CyanogenMod Recovery:
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/173585/cm-13.0-20160810-NIGHTLY-condor-recovery.img
And then the:
CyanogenMod Build
cm-13.0-20160810-NIGHTLY-condor.zip (322.76 MB)
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/173585/cm-13.0-20160810-NIGHTLY-condor.zip
And Finally - Flash gapps 6.0:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/gapps-gapps-6-0-1-minimal-t3276606
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24533103863139560
One last question, since I know that the CM13 is not based in an official Motorola release, I would like to know what is working flawlessly, and what is not working with in the Moto-E if I use this CM13 ROM ?
Please excuse all the questions, but I will like to be fully sure of the method and the correct files, that I have to use to successfully flash my Moto-E to CM13, to avoid future problems.
Thanks again for all your help !!
@ulises.rodriguez
I would recommend following steps
1)Download latest twrp (3.0.2) from twrp official website
2) Reboot into recovery and choose downloaded recovery image and then select recovery partition
(Twrp updated .. u can reboot for file transfer)
3)Transfer rom and gapps6.0 to sd card
4)Reboot into twrp and wipe /system,/data,/cache,/dalvikcache partitions (internal storage is optional )
5)choose rom zip (latest from cm downloads)
6)after rom zip is flashed successfully .. choose gapps zip (use open gapps Pico)
7)After successfully flashing both files .. reboot into system and enjoy new rom on moto e
Cm13 today's nightly working flawless for me
(And regarding your first sentence of post(1000 thanks ) .. I can't see them on my profile XD (Just joking .. hit thanks only if u want ))

ABSathe, thanks again for your fast response and also valuable help !
Is this the open gapps6.0 Pico that you have installed in your Moto-E ? :
open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160810.zip
http://opengapps.org/?download=true&arch=arm&api=6.0&variant=pico
With regard to my question about how well it is currently working the CM13 in the Moto-E, and what is not working yet...
I was asking because I've heard that as the CM13 was not based on a official version of Motorola, some features of the Moto-E did not work very well...
So, I would like to know, if the proximity sensor, Phone Signal Bluetooth, Camera, Gyroscope and all other sensors, if all of them are working well, or if any have some limitations ?
Are there any features that you have found that work best with the CM13, than with the official ROMs from Motorola for the Moto-E ?
Thanks again for helping me and always answer all my requests !

And latest nightly of cm13 is working perfectly for me.. so go for it
