I had to flash stock system and recovery, then take the OTA. There is a link to a mediafire download in the thread I quoted. There are also links to a modified boot image for rooting with Supersu 2.52. You have to flash the 5.1.2 bootloader.img in order to use TWRP. All the instructions are in that thread, or the root thread, which is liked in the original thread. Read through it. You'll find it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi, if your GPS enabled, system will automatically enable Assisted Global Positioning System (A-GPS) which use WiFi and mobile data to help device to locate faster before GPS ready. That's why you can have coordinates and accuracy in your screenshot, GPS is still need time to sync with NTP server which defined in /system/etc/gps.conf to locate GPS satellites. My gps.conf has been modified to use nearest server in my country, maybe you need to modified it too. I can't upload my flashable zip because I can't get my phone now. You can search "android gps.conf" for more information and create your own, then replace file in my zip and flash it by SafeStrap/TWRP. It may help.

BTW, I can see GPS icon in your screenshot ( the one on the far left ), so your GPS may be up and connected. Give it some time to update latest satellite map and a tuned gps.conf may help.

-- Edit --

Upload flashable zip for gps.conf, just replace with your own file.

Man I got a plate of ravioli here and cannot even concentrate enough to eat it, but I will.

I got the Mediafire Blur_Version.23.21.18.clark_retus.retus.en.US.zip downloading. I cannot just flash this in TWRP? :(

What do you mean "I had to flash stock system and recovery, then take the OTA." Since I will have the zip, I don't have to do that then, yeah?

I don't remember how to flash img files. And I want this YESTERDAY. Okay, going to have dinner then read what I gotta do. Tips and info VERY WELCOME. Keep 'em coming. Thanks bra! :good:

OH! Did you make a TWRP backup of what you had before doing this? I would, what if something goes terribly wrong or you mean I would not be able to restore a previous TWRP backup? If you don't know, fine, I will figure it out. Thanks a lot man! :D

I will be sitting on this phone during dinner. If the update comes, can I take it or is there preparation to do first?

UPDATE:

The ravioli was fantastic! What is so wrong with me that I almost passed it up? :p

Alright man, I got the file: Blur_Version.23.21.18.clark_retus.retus.en.US.zip

Now what do you do with this thing? [MENTION=282835]jeffreycentex[/MENTION] says:

If you are stock, you can flash it from stock recovery.. I just finished doing that (I undid the Google Dialer with the revert cab).

Boot into stock recovery, Install Update from ADB, then sideload the zip.

Okay I sort of know what this stuff is, in bits and pieces, but to put this into a working procedure is where I get lost. I can use ADB over USB, done that before. I can use my bootloader to different modes, I remember we would flash stuff with AP Fastboot. But what is this "Update from ADB" and then "Sideload the zip" mean? He says he "undid the Google Dialer with the revert cab". Huh? What does that mean and is it necessary?

[MENTION=3305649]OldBaldy[/MENTION] I need your help with this unless you got lucky and just took the ota, then use WinDroid to root, unlock, and install recovery again. Is that what you did or do you understand this recovery flash and sideload?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
Yes, I made a nandroid. I always do before any install.

My how fast things move. All you'll need is this:

@Ohmster. If you don't want to flash the 511 bootloader for twrp, there's a new version 2.8.7.1 available that works with the 6.0 bootloader.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh my, thank you SO much!

So the MediaFire file I got, Blur_Version.23.21.18.clark_retus.retus.en.US.zip, is no good then?

Which file do I want?

XT1575 Stock 6.0 Odexed

XT1575 Stock 6.0 Deodexed

XT1575 Rooted 6.0 Deodexed

XT1575 Rooted 6.0 Deodexed Debloated

What is the difference and why so many files? Obviously I want root so that rules out 1 & 2. This Deodexed thing? Important? Backup started, reading up on deodexed vs odexed. Keeping this post open to discuss.

I am WAY too excited. Where the heck is that Diazepam? :p

Baldy, I *believe* in you and this phone will be mallowed out tonight for sure!

...well, it looks like I will choose candidate #3 because I need root and I really do not have any serious bloat issue with the stock XPE rom. I for sure want the Moto stuff, it is useful and I depend on my new friend, "Vicky", the Moto Voice Commander with female UK voice. Now if bloat means "Verizon Bloat", then yeah, that would be a big problem.

[MENTION=3305649]OldBaldy[/MENTION] are you with me and following along so far? This should not take long and it would really help if you stick with me on this. :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
I'd use the 6.0 rooted odexed. Odexed roms are typically a little larger, but more responsive.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yah, that is what I just decided. Oh thank God you are hanging in there with me. I owe you BIG for this my friend. Okay, next... (More reading, BRB)

There is no rooted odexed, see choices above. You mean #3 Rooted 6.0 Deodexed. 1.2 Gb, this will take a while. No need for the MediaFire file then. I am also grabbing the bootloader.img file. Probably won't need it but won't hurt to save the file.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rah_asia:
Agreed, i only install playstore, maps, streetview, tts , music and youtube.

i've downloaded pico gapps but haven't install it. i install Play Service and Playstore manually like normal apps (both with version xxxxx-034 --> for Kitkat, just google it) then convert it as system app with TB/LP or just put it in /sysem/app then reboot, the rest download from playstore :D

if i may ask moto x is global phone right? how many years does moto x have OS support update via OTA? is it 2 or 3 years?

thanx [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION]. may a lot of good thimgs come to you and to all razr dev :)

Upgrading my Moto-X Pure Edition to Marshmallow now with the help of OldBaldy. Not sure how long you get for OTA

support for the MXP but who cares? All of us root and rom our own phones anyway. But should be at least a couple of years. Yes, the Motorola Moto X Pure Edition is global and will work with any carrier, anywhere in the world. It is so popular that there are many "copies" of it, all watered down in features and what it can do. Verizon offers the Moto X 2nd Gen and they took out most of "the good stuff" like unlockable, cut the screen size by a half an inch, and took away the external sdcard. Go check it out.

Go see phone, see picture, then scroll down to specs and click the + sign for Full Specs. Amazon has it brand new for $400,. $450 for the 32 Gb internal storage version. I can multitask like crazy and voice command works so well I use it all the time! Go see!

The Moto X Pure Edition - Unlocked For Carrier Freedom‎

I am doing the Android 6 upgrade now so I cannot help with the GPS issue right now. I hope like hell I can get it done tonight. [MENTION=5057697]welder73[/MENTION] has not offered to help? Yeah, take the absolute smallest gapps package you can find, it will install easier, not use up all the system space, you get ALL of the Google core services with it, and you can then download the few Google apps that do not come with it that you want. Skip Chrome, for example, in the gapps package, but if you want and use Chrome, then download it at play store later on, after you get a good, solid, working phone. :D

OMG, the moto_x_pure_edition_rooted_x1575_mph24.49-18_v1-deodexed.zip is flashing in TWRP and it is a huge file, 1.2 GB. This will take forever. Wow, finished. Successful. Could that be all there is to it? What will I find when I hit the desktop, If I hit the desktop? The boot animation is different, some artistic sketchy lines, and the big M.

I don't know what this will be like. I am hoping it is not some alpha stuff with half of everything broken. Got the "Android is upgrading" box with accurate app count.

You know what I don't understand? What role does the Dalvik cache have on a Lollipop or Marshmallow device if the runtime is ART and not Dalvik. AFAIK, the dalvik cache is the virtual machine. And for years, always running Android on Dalvik, I have NEVER seen a thing in any sort of dalvik folder or directory, with more than one root file managers, plus the Safe Strap or TWRP File Manager itself. Always empty.

Yet, we always hear and believe that rebooting to revovery, wiping dalvik and cache, can fix issues especially with a new rom in development. But Android 5 & 6 both run on ART. So what role, if any, does the dalvik cache do? :confused:

Getting closer, and I am a nervous wreck! :eek:

Still waiting, this must be what a Odexed rom does. That is what I picked, right? No, I picked the moto_x_pure_edition_rooted_x1575_mph24.49-18_v1-deodexed one.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
Patience my young Padawan, patience.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
205 of 212 apps... :eek:

Oh, I am at the desktop already. Seems the same. Ack, Google Play services isn't responding, close it? Yeah, my gapps are just not right for this build. Will they update themselves properly or do I have to find new gapps? Google core services are really good about maintaining themselves so maybe leave it alone, do a few reboots, have patience.

Oh no, Xposed is not working! I cannot install it, says download latest zip from xda and flash it manually via recovery. Now what exact file do I need for this? Oh man Baldy if you are watching, what did you use?

Oh maybe here, [MENTION=3305649]OldBaldy[/MENTION]! Which one? Just flash the zip or install apk again too?

[OFFICIAL] Xposed for Lollipop/Marshmallow [Android 5.0/5.1/6.0, v78, 2015/11/15]

Oh crap, ext-sdcard not mounted. Says Sandisk SD card unsupported. Yeah, that might be a deal-breaker. :crying:

oh man I have to format the 64 Gb card to use it. See screenshot, what option would you take? Both require reformatting so I am pulling the card to a reader to get it over to the PC.

I was SO hoping this would not be difficult but if you want something enough, I guess it never is. Pulling card for copy to PC, will work on Xposed if I can find the right file to flash.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
Are we there yet daddy[emoji3]

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

By the way, just to keep you up all night, you can use layers manage from the play store to theme it, and the marshmallow version of Xposed and gravity box work.

---------- Post added at 12:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

Just the zip. Disable all installed modules first, then flash the zip. You'll need to get the MM version of gravity box.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
Here's a couple of screen shots
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION]

These are the modules I use. Gravity box also gives the power menu tasks.

Here's the modules I use and I'm having no problems.

As for the sd card, it's renamed to a funky number. See in ES file explorer.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thanks for the module tips. Ha hah, I see your ext-sdcard got whacked too, but at least you were smart enough to keep them separate. It took about an hour to move 40 Gb off the ext-sdcard on ExFat and now I am moving it all back. Done. Then I *hope* to see some "good things" about MM. So far, I noticed it was not sleeping so I told the phone by voice, "Goodnight" and the woman came back and told me all that has changed to "Do Not Disturb". Too late to mess wit it now, everything is good but it was a very long, wild, and a bit scary ride. Not like the 1-2-Done like I had imagined. As you find out cool things about MM, pass them along as I still have no idea of what this upgrade does other than add mega encryption enough to use it as a credit card. Just what I need, more ways to pay. Can't someone invent a "To hell with paying at all, let's do something fun instead?" app? :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
My sd card was fine. The mount point changed, so I had to update it in ES File Explorer, Root Explorer and Titanium Backup. The mount point is now

/storage/(some number). If you look under /storage, you'll find it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], your SD card is fine. In Marshmallow, one of the features introduced was the ability to set your SD card as the default internal storage. Select the first option in your screenshot to use your SD card as normal.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah I noticed that about the weird number but the phone worked. Today I tried to use my roboform password manager to check my bank. Would not work. I never updated it for like a year because it would not work if I did. So I updated it and now I get a playstore message that all Android 6 apps will ask for a password to run. Huh? I enter my password and it does not work. I got home through all the passwords I have, none work. Finally I reboot the phone. It won't boot. Stuck on the bluew M logo on white. Oh man this is no good, no way to use the phone and the only backup is right before the upgrade. And my entire ext-sdcard is now changed. I just tried a dalvik and cache wipe, nothing. Stuck. Won't boot. Not good. :(

Removed sdcard and tried again, black screen. I got no phone and have to bail, like right NOW! Trying to restore Lollopop in TWRP now and see how messed up my card is, if I can do it.

Edit 1:

Oh boy, what a mess! I did the pre-MM restore and saw my desktop, what a relief. Xposed was working, but I had no 4G! Tried to turn on WiFi, won't turn on! How bad does this get? Took out sdcard and installed the 16 Gb card from Razr, wiped dalvik and cache, rebooting. I have to dump these Xposed modules because they are not for Lollipop and, ...pray!

Probably have to format sdcard and restore it, although my stuff is there. Only thing I can think of that might have upset MM is that after formatting my external card, I put everything back. There were to folders on it from the MM format. .android_secure and Android. I overwrote them. Could that mess the phone up this bad?

I have to spend a LOT of time now trying to restore it back to Lollipop, put back modules, fix sdcard, and hope like hell I didn't break the phone so I have WiFi and 4G again. Man this is a really bad experience. Better do my homework next time. Oh wait a minute, these are the right modules. I got 4G but no WiFi, won't turn on. Dammit! Might have to do a factory reset and I sure hope that brings back WiFi. Back to the grind. :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
Looks like that app borked your phone. Did you encrypt it? I did not, cause I'll never use Android Pay.

From what I know of your procedure, you could try restoring your LP backup, as you never really flashed the cdt. If that doesn't work, then reinstall the rom.You installed yesterday.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
No I didn't encrypt it, Baldy. You mean reinstall MM all over again? And you chose not to leave your sdcard as portable and not internal? That is what I did, but the phone would not use the extsdcard until I agreed to format it. I did and everything was gone but for the two folders I mentioned. I restored everything back to my external card as I have backups, pictures, and a lot of stuff there, and when it got to the last two files, I allowed it to overwrite android_secure and Android.

Yeah I did restore LP and everything is working, some Google Play and Nova FC issues at first run, but now stable. Still, turn on WiFi switch, shuts right back off again. Even in safe mode WiFi will not turn on.

What do you mean by "flashed the cdt."?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
Cdt is the security. As for Wi-Fi, reflash the moderns from your recovery tool. Non-halos.bin files, and clear the modern cache (look in the flashall.bat file for the exact syntax. The modem caches will be fastboot erase commands. Just don't erase data.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=3305649]OldBaldy[/MENTION] I need your help BAD!

I found a post that speaks of a folder that comes with the phone, all your important stuff is there. It is in the root folder of the phone. Use a rooted file manager like ES File Explorer and go all the way up to the top of the file system, then find the persist folder. In there scroll down to look for a folder called wifi. I have an empty folder. There are supposed to be files in there that enable the wifi. Without them, the phone won't run. Can you look in your persist folder, wifi, and see what is in there?

If you have files, can you zip them and send to me right away and give me the permissions for them? A screenshot might capture the files and permissions but I still need the files.

I need this real bad, Baldy. Can you please, please do this for me now buddy? :fingers-crossed:

EDIT:

Yeah that is definitly it man. I lost the WiFi files. They are all the same, your files will fix my phone. I remember this from the Razr with these issues. On the razr, it was the pds folder. I didn't know about it with the Moto X but you have the exact same phone. You are the only one I know with the files I need to restore the wifi. Can you send them please?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
That folder is empty on my phone too, and my Wi-Fi works fine. I think your problem is that you have the 6.0 radios on a 5.0 system. That's why I said to reflash the moderns.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
How do I reflash the modems? Not sure of what you mean?

What recovery tool? I use TWRP for recovery and used WinDroid to unlock, root, and install TWRP. I am freaking out over here Baldy, help me man. Flash what? How, with TWRP? What tools?

You said flash the rom again that I did it yesterday. You mean the MM rom? From here?

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-style/development/rom-stock-rooted-debloated-x1575-6-0-t3262242

Then I am stuck with Marshmallow again! Not having my password manager working is bad enough but I could not reboot the phone. I got a bootloop and stuck with a white screen and a blue M on it. That is why I restored the Lollipop backup.

Did I pick the wrong MM file? This is what I used, same as you?

moto_x_pure_edition_rooted_x1575_mph24.49-18_v1-deodexed.zip

This is what you told me:

Cdt is the security. As for Wi-Fi, reflash the moderns from your recovery tool. Non-halos.bin files, and clear the modern cache (look in the flashall.bat file for the exact syntax. The modem caches will be fastboot erase commands. Just don't erase data.

Where are these "Non-halos.bin files"? Where is this "flashall.bat file"?

I will leave you in peace, just help me get through this man.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
The Pure recovery tools here :https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_OYdZXdfmnbVnluVXhDVVYyTDg/view?usp=sharing

Here is a bat file for flashing the modems only. Download both, extract to the same directory and run the modem-flash.bat
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Both files on the way down. Are there any instructions in here somewhere? I got the flash modem file. The other one must be on an FTP server, not done yet, no information as to time left. The page said Google could not scan the file, download anyway? Yes. At 135 Mb and still coming. Man I hope you are right, sounds like you know your stuff, man. :fingers-crossed:

If this phone goes back to a working Lollipop I will be so happy. They can keep Marshmallow for now. At least until I am really sure of what to do and what will happen because of it. That was a very rude awakening!

The bat file looks good, I think this will be run on Windows with USB cable. I have the sdk platform tools with ADB so that should be good. This tool zip file must be HUGE! Coming in at 30 Mbps and at 400 Mb so far. What is this thing, another rom?

Oh this is a 2.8 Gb file and will take a while. Okay, run to the store for me. Baldy please hang around, I for sure will need you!

There will be more questions, please stay with me for a while?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
I'll be around. I'm used to doing remote support. Did it for 47 years at AT&T and NCR.

There are instructions in the tools zip, but you shouldn't need them. There are the universal adb drivers there too, but if you've been copying files back and forth to your computer, you probably won't need those either. Like I said, just extract everything to the same folder on you're computer, connect your phone and run the modem-flash.bat. If it fails, then go to the drivers directory and install the drivers. Any problems, I'll be here. http://forum-lw-3.xda-cdn.com/images/smilies/good.gif
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh cool man! This phone is like 99% alright again, but with no WiFi, there goes my data plan. Plus I do a lot of wifi file copying with ES File Explorer.

I don't get this whole "Marshmallow" thing. New android version, must be cool, right? But it comes so soon after LP how can it be a major release? So far all I see is now it is a total PITA to use your sdcard, my password manager won't work anymore, I update it, and the play store tells me I need a master password to open it. I use my passwrod, not happening. Tried to reboot, stuck at big M. What is the purpose of M, so you can now pay for stuff using your phone? Why not take away the phone completely and just hand out our bank account numbers instead? A lot less hassle then making a whole new OS, yeah? Is there *anything* good AT ALL about Marshmallow?

I reformatted my ext-sdcard with ExtFat and copied all of my files back to it for Lollipop.

I must have flashed the wrong file, if you get a min, can you check which file you flashed because you do not seem to have these problems. I got the file from here:

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-style/development/rom-stock-rooted-debloated-x1575-6-0-t3262242

And flashed this file:

moto_x_pure_edition_rooted_x1575_mph24.49-18_v1-deodexed.zip

Is that the same file you flashed? If not, which one?

There are supposed to be 4 LP files available and there are now 6 of them, some appear to be duplicates. Files are here, wish me luck. And if you feel a bit chatty, can you give me your mm flash file name? Thnx.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
I got it OTA. Since I never got a soak test message, I assumed it was the final release. Now I see that it WAS a soak, just got pushed to me in error. You're probably better off staying on LP till the real release comes out.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
ADB not working

[MENTION=3305649]OldBaldy[/MENTION]

ADB is not working right. Been having issues with the motorla drivers and connecting USB to the phone. The command "adb devices" shows nothing and the script waits for an available device. Let me see if the Razr connects with ADB.

Man I cannot get ADB to connect to the phone and in developer options, USB debugging is turned on.

Do this with phone on and screen unlocked, right? What gives?

I plugged in the Razr, Windows installed the XT912 driver, and now "adb devices" works with the razr.

Only MTP shows the X in Computer as a small portable media player, you can click it to access both cards. PTP does nothing. I cannot get ADB to recognize this phone. What kind of drivers or settings are you using to get ADB to work on the Moto X?

Yeah, my phone is showing in the device manager as "portable device". See screenshot. Where did you get your Motorola Pure drivers for Windows 7 from?
