Restoring a Data backup from a previous ROM

I'm having trouble with getting a data backup from the stock ROM to work with CM14. I have had this problem before and haven't figured out what to do to restore all my texts and apps. In the past I just redownloaded all the apps because otherwise I would consistently get errors saying that said app failed to start. So from what I'm understanding, the firmware is not working well with this backup. So my question is, how do I got about restoring my old data?

Replacing a G3 with the Style

I'm considerung getting the Style and have a few questions:

(a) Is it possible to downgrade system SW on a locked and unrooted style? Eg, I want to go back to Marshmallow from Nougat. This was fairly easy on the G3.

(b) Once rooted, applying OTAs will be complicated - apps such as flashfire may or may not help. Correct?

(c) Would you guys even bother, or would you stick with the G3?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
I can't speak to the Style directly, but I went from the G3 to the Moto X Pure Edition which is essentially the same thing as the Style... Both the G3 and X are both Moto 3rd Gen devices and are nearly identical as far upgrade/downgrade and OTA process after rooting. There are some decent devs that support the X but it's no where near as popular as the G3, I only point this out because I found it odd there were so few ROMs compared to the G when I switched, and most of them were a little buggier compared to mainstream G3 roms.

My main complaint is battery life, it's bad by comparison... Getting 3 hours of screen on time per charge/day is a chore, a far cry from the 5-6 hours I easily got with G3. An average work day for me will leave me under 20% battery with many days having to charge by late afternoon (which goes quick thanks to QC2.0), on the G3 at the end of the day I often had 50% or better remaining and could usually make it through 2 days if I had to, not happening with the X. Doze is over rated and doesn't help much at all either.

That screen is beautiful though, probably one of the best I've ever seen, even in direct sunlight, but we pay for it with it's battery draw...

Is it worth it to switch? I ask myself that every day... I tell myself a couple times a week I'm going to switch back for the battery life but I never do, not sure it's worth the effort... So really for me it's a toss up if it's really worth it, but I'm still using my MXPE as my daily driver, I just carry a charger and usually a mini portable battery pack with me every where I go.

Thanks - sorry, I have an LG G3 at the moment (my bad - did not even realize there was a Motorola G3 out there). Playing with system software on an unrooted LG is totally easy, in either direction. I'm wondering if the LG G3 is too close, spec-wise, to the Moto X pure/style to justify the upgrade ...
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Lol... Gotcha... The Moto "G3" is the common name we use for the Moto G 2015 model since its a 3rd generation device. I understand the confusion.

As for as upgrading from LG G3, it should be a decent update. It's a good device.

I think this thread might be what you want.

I'm not sure you'll get much battery life gain out of that. It is still a QHD screen, your GPU just doesn't have to work quite as hard to push as many pixels to it. There's a savings to be had there, but it is more modest than some people expect.

latest Security Update

I am Systemless Rooted and tried to take the update a few days ago. Bad idea. Boot loop. Good ideas here though. Wiped cache and all was well. Thanks guys.

Anyway, not to give up. When phone 1st booted when brand new, I ran TWRP from ADB and backed it up it before doing anything. If I TWRPed back to that would I be able to take updates?

If I did that and was able to take the Update could I then Restore Data only in TWRP to get the phone back up to speed or is it start from square one again?

Will there might be a flash-able version of the update here eventually?

Thanks in advance.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
There probably won't be a twrp flashable update.

Can you just restore data partition? Maybe, there is no real harm in trying, just don't restore system or boot. If it fails wipe data and reload manually.

BTW, you probably could have used TiBu or UltiBu to backup apps and data and then just restore them that way. That's what most people do.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schneid:
I have relied on TWRP for years but it is clunky and not always successful. I find myself most of time manually restoring the apps from the store and then their data via TiBu.

I own Pro of UltiBu but haven't used it for years. I just reinstalled it and will give it a try again. Thanks.

I hate that it that one must burn a phone to ground then rebuild it to make what should be simple changes.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
I have had no issues with TWRP, so I'm not sure what your issues are there...

OTA updates are intended for purely stock devices... TBH, the worst thing you can do is be stock and rooted these days, we see more long term problems with people doing this than anything else. A person is far better off staying stock or flashing a custom ROM, the updates for many of those are far less troublesome and they stay much more current.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
No, I meant if you are on Nougat it will not work no matter what because Xposed isn't working in Nougat. If you are on Marshmallow, you can install Xposed (at your own risk, I am very anti-Xposed) and use a SafetyNet blocker plug-in. I have read some threads on doing it, but never done it myself.

TBH, With all the apps switching to SafetyNet API and so few needs for root anymore (even GSAM doesn't need root companion anymore), I have given up and root and gone back to pure stock.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
I've been noticing the same thing in terms of root preventing apps from working. I too have avoided Xposed. I have been without root for a year now on my MXPE. I run DNS66 to block most ads so the only thing I really miss about root is gaining full functionality for Tasker in terms of controlling GPS, data connections, NFC etc. But this was more for convenience then anything else.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
I've been using titaniumbackup for years. Until it runs without requiring root, root it is. I'm not sure of any other way to backup an app an it's data (other than making an image of the whole system). There's no financial or banking apps on the phone. Just don't trust android enough.

Then there's the ability to customize various elements of the UI. Unless this ability is built into the rom, there's no way to change many things.

What is this aversion to xposed? Why so bad?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
I don't trust Xposed like you don't trust Android... TBH, Xposed is dying although we don't know when exactly, and it still isn't working with Nougat and may never be. Xposed hooks into the system UI and framework and messes with stuff, a mis-behaved plugin can crash an entire system. An experienced android hobbyist can handle this and deal with it, but too many inexperienced users break there device and don't know how to correct it. Currently stability is more important to me than flexibility.

Now, if your on a custom ROM and want to use Xposed, don't get me started... Xposed hooking into a customized framework is a nightmare, there is a reason not one single ROM developer will support Xposed.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
^^I hear you. Last few phones, the only xposed module installed was gravitybox. Too bad there's no easy way of providing similar functions by way of an app. It's my understanding such would have to be baked into the rom itself.

A friend gave me a 16GB Moto X pure a few months ago. I haven't been able to use it as a daily driver for a few reasons. First reason is the issue with expandable storage. After a reboot apps just disappear. It seems like this may be a known issue. The SD card is an official Samsung one so unless I try another one it looks like I have to deal with the 16GB and use SD for media storage. The hot spot does not work. I've read where it's worked for some people, but not for me. I know I can root, but then I can't watch DirecTV Now or use Google Pay because of root. I know there are ways to hide root.

Sideload new OTA/BT help

Hey I am curious what the process for sideloading the new OTA is? What are the commands for that? Do I need to be 100% stock in order to do that? I am currently running the stock rom rooted with the 11/15 patch. I just recently bought the phone.

My second question is in regards to bluetooth issues I am having. When I first got the phone I had no issues and in my desire to crack this beast open, I wiped the baseband and it would seem also the bluetooth modem or radio. I have tried to falsh the BTFM.bin via fastboot and mfastboot with no solution. Is there anything I am able to do to fix it?

I was able to restore the baseband by using mfastboot and flashing 100% stock firmware but it seems the BT part hasn't flashed. Thanks in advance!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
OTA's can only be applied to stock devices, regardless of how you do it. To apply an OTA manually you can place it on the root of the SD card and in factory recovery select Update from SD Card, to sideload in stock recovery select Update from ADB, then on computer use "adb sideload upgradeota.zip" and let it transfer and apply.

You need to flash the correct BT firmware, my guess is you are using the wrong version.

Moto X Pure only has one model number XT1575, the Style is XT1572.

XT1570 is the Chinese variant, avoid unless you live in China.

The other numbers like XT1578 or anything not listed above, or with a label of proprietary, property of Motorola, or engineering sample should be totally ignored since they do not have the same radio and cannot be flashed or upgraded because they were never released to public but there seems to be a ton of them floating around eBay and other end hand sellers for some reason.

Hello, I have a Moto X Style with custom Nougat-based Resurrection ROM. Obviously bootloader is unlocked and TWRP installed. I want to install stock Android 5 (I'm investigating into the issue with static background noise during calls, which supposedly appeared after MM upgrade but was not present on Lollipop). How do you go back to stock Android 5 from custom Nougat ROM? Does it work the usual way (get ZIP file, place on SD card, install from TWRP)? Or is it different with downgrading to stock ROMs? Thank you!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Stock Roms are flashed from fastboot, find the factory firmware zip and most have the instructions in the same thread.

I don't recommend doing this, this isn't a Nexus device, downgrading is not supported and you will have to skip the bootloader and gpt.bin (partition table) which leaves you in a mixed environment. Certainly never take an OTA update.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BringBackTheMammoth:
acejavelin, thank you for your advice, it has saved me a lot of potential problems! I'm not gonna try it then.

Does this apply to any downgrading or only downgrading to stock ROMs? In other words, can I install a custom Lollipop ROM with TWRP or is dangerous too?

Shall I stick to Nougat ROMs only once I have upgraded from MM to N?

Thanks again!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Only applies to stock... For the most part, Custom ROMs don't care about your bootloader or partition version, maybe the radios would have to be changed but that's only if you have issues.

You haven't really "upgrades" to Nougat, your device is still on its Marshmallow core, in custom Roms you can move back and forth with no issue.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BringBackTheMammoth:
acejavelin, thanks for help again! So, as custom ROMs should be safe to install even when based on a lower version of Android, I flashed the Lollipop-based SweetROM from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/moto-x-style/development/rom-sweet-rom-t3232087 I had Nougat-based ResurrectionRemix before. I followed the standard procedure: wipe system/data/cache/dalvik and install the ZIP from SD card. The installation went kinda too quickly, but it looked like it was complete, so I wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted. The phone caught a bootloop (the "unlocked bootloader" notice kept turning on and off). I went to recovery and installed Resurrection Remix again.

Everything's fine now, but I'm really curious what went wrong - is it, after all, impossible to install a custom ROM "downgrade"? Or have I done something wrong? Maybe there was something I could have done to get out of the bootloop and start SweetROM? Attached please find a photo from the installation process, maybe it helps. Sorry that one question leads to another, I got a lot to learn but this stuff is really interesting. Thanks in advance for you advice!

TWRP had to be patched to boot on the M bootloader. L based custom roms probably had to get fixed too. That rom you linked is from just before hashbang patched TWRP.
