[E 2015 General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Do you have the Sprint compatible model (Sprint, Boost, Virgin, Republic, FredomPop, etc) or is yours the US Cellular xt1526? If yours is the Sprint compatible model, here is a thread to some TWRP flashable stock ROMs. You can choose from unmodified stock, or the rooted/deodexed stock. These ROMs are listed for the Boost Mobile xt1526, but are confirmed to work on virtually all Sprint MVNO & subsidiary networks. In addition, there are download links to some other useful files such as partition updaters, hotspot fix, etc.

https://androidforums.com/threads/boost-moto-e-2015-lte-stock-5-1-2-unmodified-deodexed.962555/

Be sure and give the dev thanks if you use his ROMs.
[E 2015 General] Czish:
Which is the one for the XT1527 unlocked ver?
[E 2015 General] q2n:
And thanks to you for posting. Had a hard time finding a stock-based ROM to update PRL/profile. Used the deodexed version by SuperR at your link, then wrote it up here, including APN info extraction after the update. Hope that makes it easier for others.

(Agreed everyone in the US needs to experience that drive through Morristown between I81 and I75 in Kentucky. Wow.)
[E 2015 General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Yes indeed. The Clinch Mountain Overlook -- where you see three states in one view -- is breathtaking. Nice work on the APN info extraction. That will undoubtedly help many other members. There are a couple of CyanogenMod ROMs that include a Carrier Provisioning setting which allows you to update your PRL and Profile. There is also a flashable mod called "MVNO_Slayer" -- an Aroma Installer that lists all Sprint subsidiaries -- that configures your device for telephony and cellular data. You choose your carrier from the menu and the mod injects the correct telephony configs into whichever ROM you are using. Upon reboot, your device is configured for data, voice and MMS.

Here is a direct link for the MVNO_Slayer mod. Install it from TWRP to configure your device for data, voice and MMS for your particular Sprint subsidiary network. Works on nearly all custom ROMs for Surnia.

I have a XT1521 (4G, Dual Sim, India) lying unused at home for past 2 years. From what I remember, I had installed Cyanogen/LineageOS ROM and after an update it got stuck in bootloop. I plugged it today and now it is stuck at Fastboot Flash Mode. TWRP is not flashing.

I have downloaded the latest firmware available i.e. XT1521_SURNIA_RETASIA_DS_6.0_MPI24.65-39_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml and extracted its files in the adb_tools folder. I have tried flashing Stock ROM many times following the guide on https://xdaforums.com/moto-e-2015/general/guide-restore-moto-e-2015-stock-firmware-t3044936 but it gets stuck at the 2nd step i.e. 'Preflash Validation Failed'. Can anyone guide?

PS- I also tried to flash the Stock ROM using https://xdaforums.com/poco-f1/how-to/tool-tool-one-driverstwrpfactory-t3866189 tool.. and it returns "flash-all.exe or flash-all.bat or flash_all.bat not found error" .

[E 2015 General] HeadUpEyesOpen-193:
I have a Moto E (2nd Gen) with 4G LTE running Android 5.1, an XT1527 with System Version 23.201.2.surnia_cc_tmo.CC.en.US cc, Build Number LPIS23.29-18.9-2, and Kernel version 3.10.49-gf2d7a94.

Probably because I bought the phone too late, I never received the automatic OTA firmware, and Motorola has long since removed the download link for the OTA Update Zip file.

I can't find stock Android 6.0 firmware in U. S. software-channel versions, so I'm interested in using firmware with software channels based on English (UK, Canada, perhaps other countries/regions).

I've not flashed a stock or custom ROM before, so can anyone here direct me to software sources that are reliable and safe (i. e., not likely to be infected with malicious content) for English-language software channels?

Here are Websites I've found with links for the kinds of firmware I seek; I'm just not sure if I can trust these sites, so if you've found any of these trustworthy, please let me know:

Sands207, you can try with this one: "XT1526_SURNIA_USC_5.1_LPI23.29-15_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip".

You can download it from here: h-t-t-p-:-/-/-w-w-w-.filefactory.com/file/3alc62me3hfl/XT1526_SURNIA_USC_5.1_LPI23.29-15_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

It is a slow download, they have bandwidth limitation for free users.

You've said that your phone is already rooted, than you can install original firmware using Official Motorola Firmware Utility aka "RSD Lite" (dowload it from here - h-t-t-p-:-/-/ xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59348530&postcount=6), update all, make a backup, and after that root it, install TWRP 2.8.7.0 and SuperSU. You can do that, because other updates for Moto E series phones will not be released by Motorola, so you don't need to worry about not recieving updates. Apps from Google will update anyway.

I've assumed that you already have installed Motorola Device Manager, Minimal ADB and Fastboot and mfastboot, because your phone is rooted.
[E 2015 General] Sands207:
Thank you :) I'll give it a try. And yes I have all of the prerequisites done and I don't plan on staying stock for long. What I am doing is updating my VM ROM so I can pull my LTE settings from my apns-conf.xml ,eri.XML & build prop and get prop so I can help make LTE work with our CM based ROMs. I plan on comparing the build.props side by side and making changes as I go so they match doing the same with the other files so VM users and hopefully sprint users will have LTE and texts working fully. Will this ROM know I am using a Virgin phone?
[E 2015 General] Kimaly:
Hi Sands207,

This is a pristine firmware from Motorola, not for a specific carrier, so I think not. Almost all firmwares for Moto E series can be downloaded from here: h-t-t-p-:-/-/-w-w-w-.filefactory.com/folder/752fdb49361c7f62/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=2. As I've said, download is slow, but worth waiting, if you really need a specific firmware.
[E 2015 General] madvxha:
I have xt1514. I can install some 5.1 Surnia, since mine is Surnia too?
[E 2015 General] Kimaly:
Hi, madvxha.

You can try AOSP. See here: - AOSP for the moto E 2015 LTE UNIFIED. Go here: - AOSP, and download this image "AOSP-5.1.1-20150921-surnia-jenkins-dual-28.zip".

There is now an CM 12.1 official version for Surnia. You can download it from here: - CyanogemMod 12.1 for Surnia.

CM 12.1 is preferable, but try both, AOSP and CM 12.1, to see which one works better with your dual sim phone.
[E 2015 General] xpmule:
Thanks for posting OP :)

I was wondering if someone can help me with a few questions.

To start off i am using a Telus brand XT1527 and i rooted it with Squid's TWRP (build r5)

I have it rooted using the default / stock Rom that came with me phone from Telus (5.0.2)

I installed a custom kernel and a custom boot logo and everything is working fine.

But..

I highly doubt Telus is going to be rolling out 5.1 to it's customers and i think i want the update.

One of the reasons i want this update installed is Squid's kernel i am using is up to build 10 now

and older users like me can only use versions up to build 5 and Squid has made many code improvements

but unless i get 5.1 installed i can't use his newest Kernels .

What i would like to do is have my phone rooted with Squid's *newest custom kernel.

With a stock rom with TWRP installed (with the ability to restore a stock rom)

What concerns me is flashing firmware from the OP's post here and then losing my connection to Telus for calls/txt's.

I think i have a phone using CID=14 but that doesn't match any of the advised firmwares to upgrade to.

In case things go wrong i grabbed = XT1527_SURNIA_RETCA_5.0.2_LXI22.50-24.1_cid14_subsidy-TELUS_CFC.xml.zip

MD5: 04f658169a5bc35c295973054ba85b67

Which seems to be an older build version than i am running of 5.0.2

But i want to use RSD Lite to flash = SURNIA_RETUS_5.1_LPI23.29-15_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

MD5: 623419f42075a9b8b74c2d833bc4fa2d

I think ? is that the best one for me ?

I would hopefully like to have the same default APP's installed that my phone came with (it was almost stock Android)

Will flashing that cut off my signal from my carrier for calls and txt's ? (i have a single sim card from Telus)

My LTE phone is not the dual sim version.

So i am paranoid about pulling the trigger on it and have been scouring the web for a week trying to get as much info a i can.

I have seen guys talking about losing carrier connections and having to download "radio's" for some reason.

Thank you lots if you all can help me fill in the blanks (thanks for reading my speel LOL)

So i tried a lot of stuff and gave up :(

Luckily i had a TWRP backup i made before trying to flash.

I was able to restore that fine except one hitch..

I got a message on first start (after restoring) that said the following..

So off to Google i went..

99% of people said they ignored it and rebooted a couple times to get rid of the nag msg.

The guy that works on that code at Motorola replied back saying do what it says basically...

https://forums.motorola.com/posts/41e00de8ca

So i did and it seems to be working just fine contrary to the interweb saying ignore it or it will wreck your phone.

So anyway i tried hard and i did a lot of research and tried v5.1 USC (advised) and v5.1 USA

What happens is the install works but i can't seem to get my connection back to the phone company.

Tried all kinds of crazy stuff.. different radio packages.. restoring pds files.. i REALLY tried.

But i failed :(

It just sucks so much that Moto rolled out the v5.1 update to only some oem's and not others :(

All i wanted to do was run the stock rom.. it was working great and fast too.

A reminder i am on Telus with an XT1527 Moto E rev 2 (2015)

I went back to Squid's Kernel r5 (higher ver 's need 5.1) and Squid's TWRP (twrp-surnia-2.8.7-r4)

Backup guys.. B A C K U P ahahaha

Hi, madvxha.

The AOSP is verry clean and simple, just the basic set of apps. If you want some extra, you have to install Google Apps or use a free apps store like F-Droid.

Hi elcapo0709,

You can flash a 5.0.2 firmware from here: - Surnia firmware on Mega.nz, or use a 5.02 firmware and sparsechunk's from the 5.1 firmware (XT1529_SURNIA_LRA-Open-Mobile_5.1_LPI23.29-23_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip). Worth a try.
[E 2015 General] xpmule:
So i have been wondering how did these images get posted on the internet ?

Did some digging and it seems Motorola only posts publicly firmware for a few devices (not the moto-e)

So i wonder how did someone get their hands on them ?
[E 2015 General] Kimaly:
xpmule,

You can find some informations here: - XDA Original Stock ROM backup before root;

and about ClockWorkMod Recovery here: - Backup and restore your Android device using ClockWorkMod Recovery.
[E 2015 General] xpmule:
thanks but that just raises more questions..

have people used a stock recovery to make backups ?

i got my phone and did nothing to it until i installed TWRP (to backup)

so.. does the phone come with a stock recovery you can make a xml.zip package ?

like the kind that are being posted here on this topic on page 1 ?

I wondering where THOSE came from.

I am aware you can back up with various methods but what made those files on post #1 ?
[E 2015 General] Kimaly:
xpmule,

To make a full backup, in my opinion, root access is recommended.

Use ADB to backup your device. See instructions here:

- XDA - Full Phone Backup without Unlock or Root;

- Lifehacker - The most useful things you can do with ADB and Fastboot on Android;

- TechRepublic - How to create a full backup of your Android device without root.
[E 2015 General] xpmule:
So i tried that myself recently and it didn't work properly :(

What i ended up with is a lot of errors and a broken wifi (no list and no connection)

Also i ended up having to re-cache all the app's on every boot and various major bug's. I then went and tried mixing and matching and restoring etc and nothing worked right. So i ended up restoring my backup and left it that way.

I am tempted to give it another go though LOL

I am a glutton for punishment ahahha

It should work i guess everyone else seems to be able to do it except me.

I just wondered too are you guys that update from 5.0 to 5.1 deleting any partitions etc ? (before flashing)

The best advice i got was vague.. some guy on this forum with my exact phone said he did it by not flashing the modem so i have tried that lots and i ended up with no carrier connection (all else ok)

i dunno lol

EDIT:

I wanted to grab, XT1527_SURNIA_RETCA_5.0.2_LXI22.50-53_cid14_subsidy-TELUS_CFC.xml.zip

But FileFactory says unavailable and it's not on Mega or the other hoster.

Actually many of these are not on Mega etc

It seems the OP is putting them all on FF

In the event that you update the bootloader it would rise to 80.0F and up no problem. But if you go up, then you will have problems if you download the 5.0.2.

ENRIQUEMM,

CyanogenMOD 12.1 is now available for Surnia XT1524 and XT1527 here. Probably, will be soon available also the new CM 13. Why bother to install and run stock firmwares.

For CM 12.1 users - Do not install CM12.1 from 2015-november-11 for Surnia, it has a bug, keeps message led always on. Stay with nightly form 2015-november-10 until next update. I've reverted my XT1524 this morning to previous CM12.1 nightly, and I'm also waiting for the update that will fix this issue.
[E 2015 General] xpmule:
[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] Thank you VERY much for the TELUS link.

I already found it somewhere else though (i forgot where) i just want what ever is updated / newest ;)

But it's nice to see -your- Firmware repository updated.

I also checked and you DID add both both FF and Mega links.. nice !

I prefer Mega.. FF for free users are fairly slow speeds and max's my connection.

And i have FF links die off sometimes incomplete which is very dangerous.

Which is why we really -should- be posting a hash for these files.

I advise Windows users grab something like HashSlash (GUI/Free/Clean/Easy)

With that all you do is drag & drop and click the button.. has some extra features but not too many lol

Although there is millions of them out there take your pick ;)

Seriously though one incomplete download could seriously hose a guys phone really bad.

All it takes is a brief interruption in your download and then when you flash it anything could happen.

You could end up with a corrupted file flashed partially.

Also..

OP i trust you well enough but let's be real here we don't all know each other.

Trading cell phone operating system images with no hash for verification is just plain nuts !

No one would do that with a PC so why are we doing that with our cell phones ?

See what i am saying ?

Also, i take it that last link you posted was the US Retail 5.1 Firmware with the recent Stage-Fright update ?

Downloading THANK YOU.. again lol
