I have a moto E dual Sim !! my phone is rooted with Cynaogen mod 11 installed!! now i cant install motoral service update from playstore to install Lollipop updates!
Rooted phones cannot survive the OTA's.
Don't even try to go for an OTA you would end bricking you phone.

You need to be on stock ROM to install stock updates. As simple as that.
You need to be on pure stock rom (no optimized or debloated) and you can recieve OTA (after ota update u cant downgrade to kitkat) so if u want easy just flah the flashable 5.0.2 update search in forum (this way you can downgrade)
P.S : why not u just flash CM12 as that has more features then Stock ROM and bug free now...

Either flash twrp via fastboot and flash CM12.
Or flash your stock KitKat and wait for LP OTA.
Its totally your choice if you want to remain on stock or continue with custom ROM.

Hey guys,
Can I still use the easy root tool to root after updating to the 4.4.4 firmware?
Thanks
Nope
I tried but it is getting stuck on CREATING VM (JAVASUCKS)
Same here... +1 Stuck on "Creating VM... "
No, the known flaws in 4.4.2 are all patched for latest fw, only current way around it is to downgrade, root install dual recovery and flash a pre-rooted zip from CWM.
In other words;
Go back to .314 (4.4.2) firmware,
Root,
Install a recovery,
And flash the new 4.4.4 firmware via recovery.

There are new rumors that you can root 314 - select preserve mode in SuperSU - and go OTA... and root will remain...

Yeah I've heard that aswell. It's most likely working. Shall I try it? Just spent a few hours getting 4.4.4 work on my phone with root...
Ah right - Fuuuun...
I think i'll just carry on stock until someone sorts out a rooting method for 4.4.4 that doesn't involve so much faffing about lol.
Thanks for all the replies
Just keep a eye in Z3 Section too
4.4.4 firmrare is a near direct port
Hi folks,
I have a new 4.4.4 Z2, should I root it now or wait after the Lollipop version is installed?
Will I be able to install the Lollipop when rooted?

Now struggling for a night with unlocking the bootloader, sooms that W7x64 has a prob with it so he can't find the driver.
I'm becoming a nerd
Someone has the xt1023 successfully installed lollipop? Could you tell me which thread you used?
the ROM that is installed in my phone is the RETUAWS_XT1023_4.4.2_KXC20.82-15_cid9_CFC.xml.zip
Is that ROM the stock ROM?
I'm stuck on 4.4.2 and would like to upgrade to this new android please
I had to flash the new twrp or only flash the stock recovery?
:highfive:
Thank you guys for the support

The more secury way is apply stock 4.4.4 to your phone via fastboot, and after this, apply the lollipop ota zip file.
I also am stuck on 4.4.2. What could be the reason I never got the update to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4? I didn't do anything to the phone at first when I got it. I checked for updates and it always said its up to date. It came brand new with boot loader unlocked and a custom recovery. How did my carrier block updates?

I tried it, and didn't realize I had to hold buttons in order for options to show up. Lol Do you think its just the recovery holding back updates?

you have 4.4.4 recovery and 4.4.2 rom in your phone? if so, you need to to apply entirely 4.4.4 rom via fastboot and after this you copy the lollipop soak test zip file in root internal memory.
To apply lollipop soak test you need to stock recovery and rom 4.4.4, bootloader unlocked is no problem.
How are you from? you need to download 4.4.4 rom and lollipop soak test from your country.

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

Well, I think I've found what I was looking for. Thank you!
I am running 'Resurrection remix' rom on my Mot E xt-1022. I want to install a kitkat 'custom rom'. Do I need to go through the downgrading process posted here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/safely-restore-to-stock-t3165344
or
I just need to flash the kitkat custom rom as we do normally?
The tutorial is for downgrading to stock Kitkat once you has updated to stock Lollipop. With custom ROM that only flash the boot and system partitions there is no need to follow that guide.
PS: I can hardly write in english.

to my knowledge yes you can flash your custom rom normally that is if it dosen't have any bugs .
but the link you posted is to downgrade to stock rom. if you want stock rom then yes you have to go though that process.
if you just need rom to flash and not bootloader download rom from http://motorola-condor.blogspot.in/p/xt-1022motorola-stock-firmware-romxt.html and flash it normally do this at your own risk i am not responsible for consequences

Thank you and @GSebas for the replies. Will try it to soon. The phone becomes so slow on lollipop and marshmallow. Kitkat is probably the best rom for low-end phones. But the inbuilt 4G ROM makes to look at custom ROMs.
