I believe there is a new thread that addresses this basic situation. Sorry I don't have a link to the thread but its basically a guide to taking 5.1 update, you should be able to find it here in the General Section. Not sure how it varies for verizon but the basic Idea is you have to download the full firmware and reflash your system partition, gravitybox/xposed/ and any other system modifications won't allow you to take the OTA, and trying to disable/undo each thing is still risky. So you need to be stock basically, before you take it. And stock recovery as well.
[Moto X General] superm1:
I wouldn't bother to prepare yet. 5.1's not even entered soak testing for VZW's build. When you do get ready to prepare you basically need to flash back to a stock unrooted rom to accept the OTA.
[Moto X General] DarthSudo:
The current OTA (212.166.3.en.US) on VZW appears to be just a minor bug fix (not 5.1). Probably this one: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Spec...-serious-problem-with-emergency-calls_id69001, but I haven't installed it yet.
[Moto X General] ban.codrut:
Firmware 212 ? Why am I on 213 since like forever ? Is that for 16gb (non-developer edition) ??
[Moto X General] bobdamnit:
That is exactly what it is. I just installed it.
[Moto X General] rocketsaucev2:
As far as Verizon 1st gen moto X, there's never been a system version beginning with 213

Since you got your unlock code from the China seller... The First thing you'll want to do is read -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/lollipop-warning-unlocked-via-sunshine-t3114428

Next, there is a pre-flash validation check that runs on EVERY OTA.. It checks certain parts/pieces of your phone. You can't deviate from what its looking for or the OTA will fail to install. Also, the only way the OTA will install is via STOCK recovery, if you have a 3rd party recovery (like TWRP) on your phone, you'll bootloop. Because of that you'll see suggestions to flash back to completely stock. While that is the easiest solution, it depends on your situation..

If all you did was Root, Xposed and Gravity box, no other changes to /system files, modems, etc... then you can disable Xposed (boot to TWRP and install /SDcard/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/files/Xposed-Disable-Recovery.zip ) and you might as well uninstall it too. I'm not sure about gravity box. Then flash the STOCK Recovery.img for your stock rom on your phone using moto's fastboot.

Finally, There is a newer version Xposed for Lollipop. The old one only worked in Dalvik mode. Lollipop needs Xposed that runs in ART. But since I haven't kept up on Xposed, I'm not sure if there is a final or just an experimental version available now.
[Moto X General] jamesino:
To confirm, I was able to flash it back to stock and accepted the OTA. However, like a previous user said, it was just a maintenance update and not the 5.1 Lollipop upgrade.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tirk82:
Hi All,

I know there have been related topics posted but in all honesty, hours of research and I'm completely lost.

I was not in the midst of flashing anything. My battery died and power shut off. Once I charged again, turned the phone on, the one+ logo shows, then the "cyanogen" boot animation shows up, and just stays there, stuck. The last thing I did on my phone in terms of a download, was installing Camera FV-5 app.

At any rate, I have previously unlocked my phone via fastboot. I understand unlocking it for the first time will erase all data, but not the case here as it's already unlocked. I do not have TWRP. All I have is fastboot (Volume Up + power) and Cynanogen Recovery (volume down +power). I do have fastboot unlocked and installed on my PC

Is there a way to fix this without losing my data? All I am really interested in, is recovering my photos, I could care less about my apps. Or is there a way for me to recover my files first and then implement a fix? I've already tried wiping cache partition in recovery, no dice.

I'm not that tech savvy so if you have any ideas, please spell it out step by step like a layman. Thanks amigos.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
If your bootloader is unlocked you can retrieve your data still. Just flash the stock images with fastboot and you'll get your phone up and running again. See section 8 of my guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2839471

Just don't flash the userdata because that'll wipe your internal storage (music, images, etc).

Good Afternoon!

Here's the story:

I encrypted my phone.

I installed TWRP 2.8.6.1 Official.

I (tried) unsuccessfully to dirty-flash a ROM to fix a systems partition problem.

My phone gave me an encryption error and told me to format my phone.

I formatted my phone using TWRP and installed OxygenOS again.

My phone is now bootlooping into TWRP.

I've tried downloading OxygenOS again.

I tried formatting my phone again.

I tried a different OxygenOS Rom.

I tried CyanogenMod 12 Nightly.

Everything bootloops back to recovery.

I'm currently trying to find a Factory Image for the O+O and go back to CyanogenMod 11S to (try) and get it to just boot.

Is there anything I haven't tried? Any advice?

Thanks.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skunkie1234:
I flashed 11S via fastboot and then upgraded to a version of Cyanogenmod12.1 I found via the forums.

The stock CyanogenMod kept getting stuck in the middle. OxygenOS won't install, period.

My phone hates me. ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LakersDroid:
I went and update my tab s 8.4 wifi to lollipop using the OTA in Settings. Everything went smooth and I don't notice anything wrong with the tablet except for two things : 1. My Miscellanous Files space has gone up from around 150MB to almost 2GB. ( The total space of files that show when clicking on Miscellanous Files didn't add up. Reboot didn't change a thing.)

2. The game N.O.V.A. 3 space now says it's only around 58MB when it should be around 1.69GB. I'm guessing the rest of the space has gone into the Miscellaneous Files but won't show up when clicking on it.

Anyone else experiencing similar issues and is there any fix without factory reset?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doukeyakusha:
I'll have a look at my Tab S as well, gimme a few. EDIT: Okay I don't seem to have that same problem with mine. My Misc. storage is at 688MB. Sorry :/
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LakersDroid:
Thanks for checking! I had a similar issue a while ago when I was downloading a large app and the System ran low on storage. The download was canceled but the Miscellaneous Files space was increased by a lot, up to like 9GB. I did a reboot and most of the storage space went back into Available space.

I've noticed that also over time, the Miscellaneous Files will return some storage space to Available Space or move some of it to Cached data.

I'll live with it for now and see if it will eventually free storage space on its own and return them to Available Space. :)

I have a old Philips TV which has no HDMI input. It has a DVI input and i've gone around and purchased a HDMI to DVI converter. However, since DVI does not support audio, im basically stuck. Is there a way i can get the audio on the TV? any HDMI+audio splitters around (i'm from India)
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
You need a HDMI audio de-embedder, if your TV or audio system has SPDIF input. Most TVs with only DVI don't support audio over DVI anyway, so it should have some input. Otherwise you'll need a HDMI audio decoder too.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renold458:
So hey guys, I come to the wonderful forums of XDA yet again to (hopefully) be a source of help for those experiencing OnePlus specific issues with the app, Periscope. Now, if this is in the wrong section, please let me know/move it as I was not sure whether to put this into the Themes and Apps section or this section. Anyway, for those who don't know Periscope is essentially a live streaming app for mobile devices. It was an iOS exclusive for a few months but it has recently arrived on Android...with a few kinks. I, myself have been experiencing issues that I believe are OnePlus related as I, who is rooted and fitted with a custom ROM and kernel, as well as my friend, who has been stock since day 1, as well as many reviewers on Google Play have been seeing the same problems. The issues I have specifically are laggy video streams to my viewers, even on a strong WiFi connection and LTE connection as well as replays not being able to be played, instead showing black screens and playing two seconds of audio during the first two seconds of the replay. So, if anyone has any answers, or have the same issues, please drop them in the thread as this could help one another as well as hopefully push for updates on the One. I will be posting this in the OnePlus forums as well to get more eyes and voice on the issue, as I think its unfair that we would be left in the dust. Thank you!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashTestDroid:
WTF

So Twitter recently ported the app from iOS, it's getting terrible reviews, and you think it's OPO related? If it's not working for Sony, Samsung, OPO and HTC maybe it's not related to your phone brand.

"Needs more work Not working.is this compatible with Sony Xperia E4G? I have two devices with 4.4.4 android but both are not initializing camera."

"Great app Love the app,would be great to add support for other devices like HTC Re"

"when I try to stream no one sees my video. Can't wait to play! It's early on.. Just fix it please galaxy s4"

"Streaming freezes When I broadcast I can't go more than a few minutes before it freezes and eventually crashes back to the main screen. Galaxy Note 4 on both fast wifi and T-Mobile LTE"

Dude you really should read more before jumping to conclusions.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renold458:
I never said the issues of the app itself are only OnePlus related, YOU really need to read what I said more carefully.

Some links are probably outdated, like twrp, since I remember few threads asking about bootloader unlock and they were directed to this one but with info that some things are outdated
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
Even the ones with locked bootloaders (excepting Verizon's) are easily unlockable through HTCdev. If you luck out and get one with KitKat, you can skip that step and use Sunshine to S-off as well as unlock the bootloader.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATalkingRock:
Sorry, I've never heard of this. Other carrier HTC m8's can be unlock the booloader on the htc site without any issues? I've also never heard of S-off is that something which is mandatory if i plan on rooting/flashing roms?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
For most people who just want to run alternate ROMs, unlocking the bootloader is sufficient. However, HTCdev does respect carrier wishes, and not all carriers permit their phones to be unlocked. If you get a phone directly from HTC, or really from anyone other than a carrier, it will definitely be unlockable, though.

S-off isn't a requirement to flash ROMs or root - it is only a requirement if you want to manually update firmware, change the CID/MID (change to a different carrier branded ROM), or revert to an older version of firmware/software. Depending on your carrier, and which ROM you want to run, it often becomes a practical requirement because the only way to update the firmware is typically through an OTA or RUU, both of which are carrier restricted unless you are S-off. Attempting to run a ROM designed for Lollipop firmware on a phone with KitKat firmware often results in problems like slow bootup, no WiFi, etc.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATalkingRock:
So i definitely want to run roms like on the original htc m8 android development threads which I would assume requires S-off because they aren't in respective carrier subforums. So assuming I buy a sprint/tmobile htc m8, the chances of being able to unlock bootlolader along with s-off are high?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ModestMouse1312:
Yeah I have the sprint HTC One m8 and it was running lollipop and I successfully unlocked my bootloader using HTCDev, then rooted and s-offed using sunshine and I couldn't be happier! Keep in mine sunshine costs 25 dollars but it is well worth it :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
Sprint and T-mobile are two different ball games. Sprint is CDMA, which means you really have to run a ROM designed for their network. Not all ROMs will run on a Sprint (and similarly, Verizon) device because of it. Also, a CDMA phone may support LTE data on a GSM network, but it will not have voice support. Going the other way isn't even an option, as Sprint only allows approved devices on its network, period. Keep that in mind.

T-mobile runs a GSM network, so as long as your firmware/radio supports all of the right frequencies, it will work just fine.

I will say that if you intend to do much carrier hopping, or plan on taking a device between carriers, you will want to S-off. Yes, it's $25, but that will save you a lot of aggravation in the long run. If you are S-off, you can alter the CID/MID of your phone, at which point you can update the firmware and radio to match the carrier you want to use. Then load a custom ROM on top of that.

Finally, S-off and bootloader unlock do not affect the SIM lock at all. That is controlled by the radio, so you will still need to deal with unlock codes. As far as I know, the T-mobile M8 still uses standard subsidy unlock codes, while the newer M9 uses their new "unlock app".
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATalkingRock:
So which do you feel would be wiser? Tmobile/sprint? I'm assuming the roms in the original android development subforum are compatible with these phones? For example blisspop.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I would advise to

stay far away

from the Sprint version unless you happen to be using Sprint as your carrier.

The reason being, is that the M8 versions that support CDMA (Sprint, Verizon) actually have different hardware from all other versions. Aside from Sprint, Verizon the dual SIM version, all other M8 versions are the same in hardware, and enjoy much more ROM support, as well as the fact that radio firmware is cross-compatible (with s-off).

The same can't be said for the Sprint version, you can only flash ROMs and radio meant for this version (or maybe Verizon also, but that still doesn't give you many more choices compared to the "GSM" M8).

To my knowledge, the US Developer's Edition is the only version that comes from the factory with an unlocked bootloader (which is a direct from HTC version, as you mentioned). And that version is not too common, and probably comes at a hefty price.

Unlocking the bootloader is a simple matter (for all variants except Verizon, which shouldn't be on the list for the above discussed reasons). So I wouldn't make that much of a consideration when making the purchase choice. I would focus more on SIM unlock. But even that can usually be done by using a paid online service for less than $10 US.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------

That would be an incorrect assumption. Development sections that are not carrier specific will usually be compatible with any "GSM" version of the M8 (but may also support Sprint/Verizon if explicitly noted in the thread).

S-off or s-on is not a requirement for any ROM. Your phone often needs to have updated firmware and/or hboot. But that can be done without s-off.

However, if you need to change the frequency band support (to match what you carrier is using) than you need s-off.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes, with s-on you can flash GPE based custom ROMs that support the GSM M8.

Some folks like to "fully convert" to GPE by RUU, which

does

require s-off. But the only reasons to do this are to get official GPE updates; and to get the GPE partition scheme (smaller system or "ROM" partition means you get more user-accessible storage). But aside from those aspects, just flashing a GPE ROM will get you the full GPE experience.
