Find a 4.4.4 factory image and flash it with mfastboot, I guess........But don't flash 4.4.2 factory image and update to 4.4.4 OTA........U'll brick the phone......

downgrade
i downgraded my moto g successfully from lollipop to kitkat....
i think same method will work for moto e...
just don't flash these three lines in fastboot mode(i think u all know the stock firmware flashing procedure via fastboot)......otherwise bootloader downgrading will fail and u will brick ur device...
"mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin"
flash all the other lines...and you will successfully downgrade to kitkat...
i can provide a batch file for flashing stock firmware...(u just have to double click on that file after putting it in the same folder u extracted firmware and mfastboot)
So were you able to lock the bootloader also?

okay
Downgrade
as lollipop update patched some files in it's OTA update such as: " gpt.img , motoboot.img , boot.img " downgrade might not be a use for these files and it's impossile also.. so u can flash 4.4.4 firmware files the old procedure via - M-Fastboot.. " Tested By Me.. No Brick At All "
U can back up lollipop and kitkat by cwm i m using 5.0 and 4.4 both..
so here is a bat file to flash..

This Is How to Downgrade Moto E From Android 5.0.2 to KITKAT 4.4.4

Hello,
I'm Yazan and I'm new to this developing stuff. I had an old Samsung that I used to play with and rooted it but moving to the Xperia z2 was a big upgrade. I have very low experience and would love to root my Xperia z2. I have updated it to the generic lollipop update and would like to know if there is a way to root it. And also could I downgrade to 4.4.4 KitKat root it and install a rooted 5.0 stock ROM?
Thanks for the help. I'll be waiting. :fingers-crossed:
You need to downgrade it to 4.4.2 Kitkat, root it, install Dualrecovery, and then flash a prerooted lollipop firmware via recovery.
Please search the forum for how to do it..

... So I could flash (downgrade) a stock 4.4.2 ROM directly from 5.0.2 using flashtool, then root it and install dual recovery then flash the 5.0 pre rooted rom using the recovery? And btw my bootloader is locked should I unlock it first.

No need to unlock bootloader... Just do as you said...
The intention of downgrading firmware is to gain root without unlocking bootloader.

Haha, thanks I'm sort of new... Thanks though. and which ROM should I choose... 17.1.2.A.0.314 or 17.1.1.A.0.402. My device is D6503
You may use 17.1.2.A.0.314 to downgrade.

Hardbrick only occures when u flash downgrade firmware via Fastboot, so if u dont want hardbrick. Flash the ROMs via TWRP recovery as its not flash Bootloader, download Flasheble ROMs and flash via recovery it wont hardback.

I restored after upgrading via TWRP Flashable ZIP (not via AdB fastboot) and restored my kk backup successfully.
In my thought the bootloader upgrade and downgrade only happnes when u flash ROM via Fastboot, so u can downgrade by flashing Stock LP flashable zip, but flash at ur own risk
Did u flashed the soak test ota zip, and then were u able to restore the nandroid backup [kitkat] successfully without any problem? Thats all I want to know..

Tried to find but there isn't any. The only way to upgrade I see is first flash the stock 4.4.4 firmware and then flash the soak test ota. In this way there could be some possibility of hard brick while downgrading or by any other method. Thats why I don't wanna upgrade in this way, I better stay with Kitkat and wait till someone come up with a flashable stock pure lollipop rom

You need to flash stock recovery ..flash rollback pkg and the have to flash desired firmware which ever number you want to flash....
For custom ROM you have to be on 350 or under firmware number..
You have Indian variant??

if you have twrp installed then OTA update will give bootloop.
if you have stock recovery it it will install without any error..

make a all partitions twrp backup of your stock rom first..all partitions
the then extract b350 which you have downloaded with huawei update extractor(its an app you can download from google)
then flash stock recovery which you have extracted from b350 and flash it via adb fastboot..
then downgrade to b350 by following the guide which i send you..
do some research when you feel its ok to do so then do it.
