Hello, in a latin american group, we capture the OTA for the XT1527, but we dont know hoy to convert in a adb flashable, help pls
[E 2015 General] Buzbee2:
So basically you did this:

http://ausdroid.net/howto/capture-ota-update/

How is the zip different from the rom zips available from the links on the first page?
[E 2015 General] JulianDerp:
http : // i . imgur . com / lNfe0Tn . png

This is that we have, and the firmware must look that this.

http: // i . imgur . com/ tBYuSkd .png
[E 2015 General] Buzbee2:
You have a Blur Over-The-Air (BOTA) zip file. Those require stock recovery (custom recovery will fail) and must be installed through the android system updates menu or by adb sideload. The files located here are Fastboot Xml Zip (FXZ) files. These require your phone to be in fastboot and may be installed via Motorola RSD Lite or a custom BAT file. They are intended for broken software and bricks to restore them to factory condition. BOTA files do not have a complete set of firmware like the FXZ files do. Did you notice your Blur file is around 400MB while the 6.0 FXZ files here are around 700MB?
[E 2015 General] JulianDerp:
But how we can capture the FXZ files, others people's are getting update too, maybe can we capture the FXZ?
[E 2015 General] Buzbee2:
You can't. I believe FXZ's are leaked from Motorola or its carriers. You may be able to contact a firmware team like the one below via twitter and see if they can create one from the BOTA.

[E 2015 General] tweakker15:
That's what I want too, XT1524 RETEU 6.0
[E 2015 General] tweakker15:
Hey guys it seems that Motorola reads this thread, today I got the OTA 6.0 for my XT1524.

1. How can I put this into a .zip file so everybody can flash it?

2. If I update to 6.0 and I want to go back to 5.1.1 I can't to that because the bootloader gets updated too, right?

3. Should I wait untill somebody uploads the .zip file online so I can flash it manually if something goes wrong with this OTA?
[E 2015 General] ale29-09:
First of all: CAPTURE THE OTA, PLEASE!

2. You have to unlock the bootloader in order to downgrade, but you have to keep the Marshmallow one.

3. If you never unlocked the bootloader and flashed a factory image that is not for your variant, I think you'll never find issues.
[E 2015 General] tweakker15:
That's what I am trying to do, I don't know how to capture it...
[E 2015 General] domenicogalati45:
You need root

Inviato dal mio MotoE2(4G-LTE) utilizzando Tapatalk
[E 2015 General] tweakker15:
I think there should be a metod to capture it without root. I downloaded the update, btw.

Edit: In order to root my device I need to unlock the bootloader right? Unlocking the bootloader is ok? I mean it won't affect the performance of the device or something like that? Now that I have the OTA downloaded into my phone, I found a guide here on XDA on how to copy the OTA file from the phone so I can share it or keep it for backup, and I need root to do that.

Edit 2: Wait a second, if I want to root the device first of all I need to unlock the bootloader, and by unlocking the bootloader everything that's on the phone is wiped including the OTA file. Am I right?
[E 2015 General] ale29-09:
I found this on a Polish forum. It seems to be the Marshmallow XT1524 RETEU factory image!

But...do you think it's safe?

I think that's it! :D I have found another link: http://www.filefactory.com/file/686..._MPI24.65-39_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

So yeah I guess we should flash this.
[E 2015 General] ale29-09:

Can confirm this XT1524_SURNIA_RETEU_6.0_MPI24.65-39_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip is legit and working. Flashed on two XT1524s without problems. It will take a while to boot up for the first time, but don't worry, let it do it's job and wait. :)
[E 2015 General] ale29-09:
Did you perform wipes?
[E 2015 General] furiouscat23:
Yes, prior to flashing I performed full wipe (data, cache, dalvik and system) through TWRP. I was on CM13.
[E 2015 General] tweakker15:
Man I was waiting some good 10 minutes at the boot screen and I was getting a little nervous thinking that is not working, but it works perfectly :D
[E 2015 General] fratellos:
Can I flash this fw on my phone ?

Thanks !
[E 2015 General] furiouscat23:
Yes, get the RETEU version for your XT1524 here, then follow this guide for flashing instructions.

But watch out for the command mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.x

The number of sparsechunk files may differ in every ROM. Although you can't brick your phone if you will flash 5 sparsechunk files instead of 4, it will just produce an error, but you will brick it if you flash less than you have to, e.g. 3 instead of 4 needed.

And skip these two commands because they're useless:

mfastboot erase customize

mfastboot oem config carrier vzw

The first one will produce an error because there's no need to erase that thing and the second one sets your carrier to Verizon. Why would you do that? If you want to know what commands each ROM needs, open the zip folder of your ROM and find flashfile.xml, there you have all commands that your ROM needs, so you can double check to be sure you're not typing anything wrong.
[E 2015 General] fratellos:
"you can't brick your phone if you will flash 5 sparsechunk files instead of 4, it will just produce an error, but you will brick it if you flash less than you have to, e.g. 3 instead of 4 neede"

How can I find the number of sparsechunk files I need ?!
[E 2015 General] furiouscat23:
Open the extracted ROM folder and check there how many sparsechunk files there is.

[E 2015 General] xpmule:
You are? is this a question?

Sorry i see a flag on your profile from India so i will assume English is not your first language.

That is a common question.

But i will answer it anyway.

Look around and download the radio only.

Or if it was me i would simply download the firmware package fro the Verizon version you want.

..then extract the radio files out.

Also this is the command and shows the files names you need from the Firmware archive.

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

Guys it would be a good plan to make an effort to stick to the topic.

It makes it easier for the next guy coming along searching for answers.

(those brave enough to use the search button or Google)

Why say that?

Each topic is not a tech-support topic..

Well they are actually but it shouldn't be that way. LOL

This topic is called " Stocks Firmwares Moto e 2015 (SURNIA)"

So to me it would see like a good idea would be to get your firmware and leave. LOL

Need help afterwards? Then search or post in the help section.

[E 2015 General] sm4tik:
Did you ever get back to re-flashing this? I looked into another zip also and there were 5 chunks (like in RETEU, 0 to 4) and file sizes are about the same so I see no reason why the zip would be missing something. I'd like to have a test run on the stock 6.0 and introduce it to my wife before updating her phone, but don't want to go and do something that in the end will only prove itself to be a dead end.

Anyone else tried RETEU?
[E 2015 General] hajj_3:
I went from CM13 today to en-EU 6.0 in order to remove my network unlock status so that i can use sim cards from any network. My phone is en-GB and came with 5.0.2, before flashing CM13 I upgraded to en-EU. Going back to en-EU 6.0 worked well but for you guys that went straight from 5.0.2 to CM13 you may possibly need to re-flash with 5.0.2 first as your bootloader and radios may be different. Instead of switching back to en-EU 6.0 i tried switching back to en-GB 5.0.2 first but that didn't work as i had these errors about the bootloader and partition:

It seems because 6.0 upgrades the bootloader that i couldn't re-flash 5.0.2. So those of you that have never flashed official 6.0 or manually upgraded your bootloader you should try flashing 5.0.2 first.
[E 2015 General] treypop:
Is someone going to alter a stock ROM to work on XT1526?
[E 2015 General] DPyro:
Rogers works with XT1526. Just need to flash squid kernel r16 so that it can boot.
[E 2015 General] xpmule:
So this DID work for you on the new 6.0 Telus / Rogers firmware then?

i have been poking around trying to learn what systemless even means LOL

but after wrecking my last Marshmallow install i don't want to go through it all again,

until i know i can for sure get it rooted otherwise forget it.

I am asking you because i seen you show up on the same handful of related topics

saying you were trying the same stuff as me and trying the same firmware etc

I wish i did more research before meddling with stuff before i tried 6.0

And wow people are irritating, for ages now i have hearing about Marshmallow Android 6.0...

Then every time i look some guy goes on about Cyanogen MOD v13

Talk about frustrating !

All these guys talk like Cyanogen Mod is the stock Android like they can't tell the difference etc.

BY the way people chainfire says when doing "Systemless" installs of SuperSU he said,

When prompted about read-only in TWRP... select the YES = READ-ONLY option !
[E 2015 General] DPyro:
Yes it works, doesn't mess with /system which means even if it didn't work all you need to do is reflash boot.img. Also, make a backup of working 6.0 so you have no problems if something goes wrong.
[E 2015 General] treypop:
Is this the Rogers ROM that you used http://www.filefactory.com/file/6r2...0_mpi24.65-39_cid14_subsidy-rgrca_cfc.xml.zip ?
[E 2015 General] DPyro:
Ya, except I downloaded it from Mega.
[E 2015 General] xpmule:
Thanks and yeah that was my plan (about the backup)

I should have known better LOL

I usually keep a full backup of Lollipop so i was just being dumb.

So cool i will have to try that out :good:

If anyone wants to know where i got "BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip" from?

EXPERIMENT: Root without modifying /system #2: Automation

EDIT:

The Rogers + Telus v6.0 are almost identical.. i doubt it will matter which one you guys choose.

The only extra stuff i seen installed with the Telus version was 1 small app called "My Telus"

Which can be uninstalled fast easily.

But both should be the same feature / hardware-support wise i think.
[E 2015 General] treypop:
When I try installing Rogers ROM it just reboots TWRP. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?
[E 2015 General] DPyro:

Having trouble restoring the XT1528!

I keep getting a preflash validation error when flashing the phone back to stock. It keeps failing when I flash the gpt.bin. I am not trying to downgrade or anything, I am using the same version.

[E 2015 General] Buzbee2:
Use RSD Lite to reflash the version you upgraded to. Then to downgrade, Use the Minimal ADB and Fastboot program and do those commands above when your in fastboot mode.

---------- Post added at 02:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ----------

You have a XT1528? I assume its Verizon. They have a locked bootloader. You need a unlocked bootloader.
[E 2015 General] andrewwm:
I was told in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjbU72RH_Rk that the bootloader doesn't have to be unlocked. I tried using RSDLITE and it still fails at the gpt.bin. and if I remove the step in the flashfile, it fails at the system flashing.

The reason why I want to restore is because I got it hard rooted. (system partition is not write able) but I have elevated permissions and the system got messed up. (WiFi doesn't work, won't turn on)

You can't unlock the bootloader yet.
[E 2015 General] Buzbee2:
I don't think you can downgrade without an unlocked bootloader. Use RSD lite to go to back to the last version installed or later. You will lose your elevated permissions.
[E 2015 General] andrewwm:
What do you mean by last version installed? So there are two versions, 5.0.2 and 5.1. The phone is on 5.1 when I got it and it still is. When I tried the 5.1 file, it fails at the gpt.bin flashing step saying the version is downgraded. Same with the 5.0.2 file. When I remove that step (edited out from the flashfile) it fails on the system partition flashing saying it is downgraded. The only thing I can think of is the 5.1 file is fake or something. I would like to get this phone working :(

(ps, you are a fast replier!)
[E 2015 General] Buzbee2:

[E 2015 General] Buzbee2:
The .5 is probably just a security update. If you accepted a newer OTA with a later security than this one you are out of luck until that Fastboot Xml Zip (FXZ ) file comes out.

BTW...I have created a stock 5.1.1 and stock 6.0 update for the XT1528. I am just waiting to release it after their is a work around for the locked bootloader issue. I plan on releasing the XT1526 and XT1529 versions shortly. Maybe you'll be around to test the Xt1528 version.
[E 2015 General] xpmule:
I want to ask any of the guys who downloaded the 6.0 firmwares shared,

what BootLogo + Animation they have.

I had a couple of the packages but deleted them & only kept the Telus version.

Point being is i should have looked inside Logo.bin before i hit delete.

I had seen new logo's & animations across the web for Marshmallow for months now..

Which are VERY different than what Telus has.

The Logo.bin from any stock v5.1 is bit-exact identical to the new v6.0 from Telus.

And the new Telus 6.0 animation is some "Stitches" one with a white background + world style.

I also notice the Wallpaper was the same stock default and no new ones were added.

So what gives?

Can anyone shed some light on this for me so i can get my hands on the stock Marshmallow files?

There was style / branding changes we are not getting that others are!
[E 2015 General] Buzbee2:
The animation is the M symbol with dreadlocks? The stitches is only seen very briefly before boot up after the first time. I think its part of the animation because its not in the logo.bin. The logo is just the light blue M symbol that says Powered by Android at the bottom just like in all previous versions. The wallpaper is the same as 5.1 Lollipop. At least we got a new boot animation.

I have a Moto E2 XT1527 from Argentina and have a Stock Firmware 5.0.2.

I want to have the stock firmware 6.0 but i cant do it in my country yet... so I asked in a Post and they told me that i have to install another Stock Firmare and that way it will leave it to upgrade to 6.0 (I hope made myself understood, sorry for my english...)

The closet match for 6.0 is another Latin America rom:

XT1527_SURNIA_AMXLA_6.0_MPI24.65-39_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip.

If you can't wait for a closer match (i.e RETLA). I would not upgrade with RSD lite but use the command line or .BAT file (see post #305) and remove the following lines from it:
