Guys, I received the mail for the soak test which i guess is 5.1. Now, i have lollipop via flashable lollipop zip , rooted and unlocked bootloader. What do i need to do get the update of the soak test of 5.1 if at all it is 5.1 ? Do i need to lock the bootloader as well along with unrooting and flashing stock recovery ? And will the stock recovery of kitkat work if i flash it while on lollipop ? Please be detailed whoever kindly answers it. Thanks :)
[Moto E General] layman806:
Try cm12! Its great, at least for me I guess. Memory leak is also fixed, and I love the customizations available and the "optimus" kernel! Battery life has also improved tremendously over stock!

Well, you need to unroot your device( delete su and busybox binaries). Then check for updates.
[Moto E General] cooljazzy:
...........

will i receive invitation for new..? previously i was selected for soak test:..

:confused::confused::confused:
[Moto E General] -Adarsh-:
I know that but there isnt any qcom setting in lollipop..check yours and tell plz
[Moto E General] :
Actually I registered for mfn after 5.0.2 soak test.

Also the survey mentions about whether we r using lollipop build or kitkat. So its certainly for a new build of lollipop.

Have you registered?

[Moto E General] kirtybs12:
Thanks buddy ! Could u just put in the link to cm12 as there are many unofficial ones and i dont know which one to go for. And , doesn't complete unroot remove the binaries? I just have to complete unroot and flash the stock recovery , and thats it. Isn't it? And flash recover is same for kitkat and lollipop, right ?

On a different note, I am unable to flash official 4.4 kitkat as apparently my bootloader was upgraded too with the 5.0.2 soak test.

can anyone tell me how long after the release will Motorola make the lollipop firmware public so we can take our phone to lollipop stock?
[Moto E General] layman806:
Do you have a moto g or a moto e?

I have a moto g.

The stock recoveries for KitKat and lollipop are entirely different. If you have already flashed back to stock KitKat, you must have made sure not to flash motoboot.img, preventing bricking. Then, with stock KitKat, check for updates. It will get you to android 5.0.2. Then if you got the invitation for soak test, check for updates again.

If you want cyanogenmod 12, go to it's official website's download section, and select falcon( moto g first gen)
[Moto E General] kirtybs12:
Well, i have a moto e ! But i guess i cant get the lollipop stock recovery then, As i flashed 5.0.2 via a flashable zip someone genreously. Moreover, i was not a soak test member for the 5.0.2. So, if i move back to 4.4.4 ,then there is no way i can get to 5.0.2 by an official method. Either i have to go via flashing or by sideload. And i have to flash twrp for flashing the zip. So, what should be done now ? I can go back to 4.4.4 stock anytime but i dont know what good that wud do !
[Moto E General] layman806:
Look, if you flashed via a zip, you must have got stock lollipop. Well, another thing you can do to try again is going back to stock 4.4.4, then put the zip file for stock 5.0.2 on /sdcard and check for updates. It should be updated to 5.0.2. Then, get the zip file for 5.1. Simple, isn't it? Because I did the same thing not once, but twice on my moto g! ? peace!
[Moto E General] athujoshi:
Please tell how to come on 4.4.4

Will placing the flashable lollipop zip in the sdcard or internal work by checking for updates and installing ? Or is there a different non flashable lollipop zip that is supposed to do this task ?
[Moto E General] cooljazzy:
Got 1 more miner update . near by 13.4 mb..

I think its now stable and official will roll out soon..
[Moto E General] cooljazzy:
Sorry i was so exited about it, didn't see there is another form related to this..:(
[Moto E General] -Adarsh-:
Whats that!? What changed
[Moto E General] cooljazzy:
1. Internal Memory increased by 100-150 mb

2. Lags are now less

3. Ram improvement

4. Kernal version new "5th March"

5. On notification bar "H" or "E" data symbol is bigger like KitKat.

And may be many more..

[Moto E General] stockuser:
Those who had installed 5.0.2 soak test previously, can you guys please reboot into bootloader once and say what version of bootloader you're running? It doesn't matter whether you're running stock 5.0.2 or CM12 now because while installing the soak test your bootloader got upgraded. I hadn't installed soak test and was running stock 4.4.4 before flashing CM12. The reason I'm asking this is to check whether my bootloader got updated while installing CM12 so that I don't brick my phone while flashing stock 4.4.4 firmware later when official Lollipop OTA comes out. Would anyon on this forum would be kind enough to inform this fellow Moto E user what version of bootloader he has after installing the soak test? Thanks.
[Moto E General] chemicalrage:
Bootloader can only be upgraded by official OTA and official Lollipop OTA was released long back. In order to get it you have to update Motorola Update Services to 4.0 from playstore. Soak test and Official Lollipop update are the same.
[Moto E General] stockuser:
Did you read my post friend? I don't want soak test and will upgrade to Lollipop once OTA becomes available. I'll flash stock 4.4.4 then, update Moto Update Services from play Store and then update via Wi Fi. In the meantime i'm running CM12 flashed through TWRP on stock 4.4.4.

I just request you friend to reboot into bootloader once and tell me what version bootloader you're having? (Only if you had installed the Moto Lollipop please.)

Bootloader version, SHA1, version date and time are mentioned on top in the BL screen. Just boot once into your BL screen, notice carefully and post that info here friend. Thanks.
[Moto E General] chemicalrage:
Bootloader can only be upgraded by official OTA CM12 cannot update your bootloader .

I am talking about the official OTA. I already got it after updating Moto Update Services from playstore and I compared the zip hash to the soak test and its the same. Btw, I have the lollipop bootloader, its 50.0C
[Moto E General] stockuser:
I don't want to take any risks to brick my phone. CM12 is based on Moto kernel sources so who know's what Moto has done!

Ah, Thanks Sir.. Thanks a zillion! This was the info I was looking for. Sorry for the PM. Can you please post a little bit more info about your BL? Like the SHA value, BL date and time. It is just below the BL version no. Thanks again Sir. :good:
[Moto E General] chemicalrage:
50.0C (sha-2259fb8, 2014-11-06 07:06:52)

Dont try to downgrade to 4.4.2 from Stock Lollipop. Only that causes hard brick as far as I know.
[Moto E General] stockuser:
Mine is 50.09 (sha-ae00f8c, 2014-06-17 16:40:42)

I'm running CM12.

From the above BL info, I can safely assume that I haven't upgraded my BL? So when Lollipop OTa rollsout, can I flash back my stock 4.4.4 firmware from CM12 successfully without bricking my device? Thanks for your genuine help Sir. I'm indebted. :good:
[Moto E General] chemicalrage:
Yup your bootloader is not updated. Yup, you can flash stock 4.4.4 from CM12 without bricking your device. But after you install the official stock lollipop I recommend you to avoid downgrading to Kitkat. There is a tutorial to downgrade to Stock 4.4.4 from Stock 5.0.2 somewhere on this forum.
[Moto E General] stockuser:
No no, of course not. What's the need? The only time I'll need to flash 4.4.4 is when official OTA comes out. That will be the final time. Why use KK when we've got L?

Guyz this tym if any further update comes..dont capture it by rooting if u dnt want to do those long processes..just before hitting the download update btn connect ur device to pc and strt adb and strt logcat..and then hit download..it will get the http it is accessing to download the update..and share it..we will all download it at high speed...!

Hit thanks if helped!! ;)
[Moto E General] kirtybs12:
Does anybody know if the stock recovery of lollipop and kitkat are the same ? I heard someone saying he confirmed so !
[Moto E General] athujoshi:
Yep they are same!!!!
[Moto E General] kirtybs12:
U sure ? Means flashing the kitkat recovery over lollipop via fastboot won't go wrong in any way ?
[Moto E General] -Adarsh-:
Anymore updates? any more soak tests? 5.1?

from day 1 i stopped myself from unlocking bl and rooting so that there wont be any problem while updating..so is it time to unlock the beast? :p (unlock bl,root then custom roms and kernels...!!)
[Moto E General] athujoshi:
Yes

[Moto E General] kirtybs12:
No idea, patience has started to give out !
[Moto E General] amarjit_rsingh:
Way it is going i am sure that they will release 5.1 instead of 5.02 for moto e.
[Moto E General] Souroking:
But they put their hard work on the 5.0.2 then why not release it eventually?
[Moto E General] amarjit_rsingh:
since they have not released 5.0.2 and morever 5.1 is already released so they would do the same they did during kitakat i.e released directly 4.4.4
[Moto E General] -Adarsh-:
Ya i agree..and 5.1 isnt a large update to be tested upon..it can go along with the 5.0.2..maybe we soak test users will get a minor update and others will get an update around 400 mb
[Moto E General] zelendel:
5.1 was a bigger update then you would think. There was over 15000 code changes just in the frameworks it's self. Not to mention the code that was moved from one place to another. Some that was removed completely
[Moto E General] -Adarsh-:
Oo...i didnt know that..i thought thats a minor update like 4.4.4 over 4.4.2..

So will it support sd card think in that..i mean like in jellybean days..we could play games with cache in sd card..so will it be possible in 5.1 ?
[Moto E General] zelendel:
That depends on the OEM Google long ago removed the sdcard code from base android. Sd card were never meant to run apps from. They were storage only. This is due to the way android mounts and runs files from the sd card. This is part of the reason more and more OEM have removed sdcard.
[Moto E General] -Adarsh-:
Ooooo....thank you..i was thinking that its only a limitation of kitkat..lol..

that means i should move on to cm or blisspop now..there is no point to wait for updates from motorola as it doesn't seem that motorola is going to add the support anyway
[Moto E General] Dipteshmodak:
Please give the way of flashing new ROM in my rooted device.
[Moto E General] -Adarsh-:
get a custom recovery preferably cwm or twrp and flash any custom rom zip..DONE!!

[Moto E General] Souroking:
Well in that case i think i will do the same. Can anybody please tell me that is i unlock the boot loader and root the device now, will i get ota lollipop update whenever it releases? Or i have to flash it manually wiping all of my data? And what should i use after rooting to get rid of the low internal memory problem? (Sorry for off topic).
[Moto E General] -Adarsh-:
you will receive the ota but for that u have to flash the stock firmware and unroot it..done..

hit thanks if helped
[Moto E General] Rohitagni:
Can anyone provide me the CM 12 apps (like the launcher, file manager, audio fx etc)?
[Moto E General] AlbertBGeorge:
If you have never done rooting stuff, just wait for OTA. But if too impatient, just flash CM 12.1 :p
[Moto E General] Souroking:
Well i have done plenty of rooting stuffs on all my other phones. But none of them were supposed to receive any major update from the manufacturer ever. So i wanted to know just about that. And regarding internal memory issues i usually use link2sd or int2ext script or sd swap using void.initd etc but since this one has a emuluted sdcard support that is what is bugging me. As most of the above tweaks wont help me in case of this phone. Anyways thanks for your suggestion but i am not going to cm at the moment. Even if i root it i will still stick to stock. [emoji6]
