[TWRP][Surnia] Moto E 2015 Recovery - E 2015 Original Android Development

I'll keep this short because I'm leaving the computer.. pretty much now.
disclaimer: I didn't break it. Don't blame me.
This is NOT for the 3g model
what works:
display, touch, mounting everything (including sd-ext), adb. charging, temperature, rooting
untested:
flashing, formatting, backup, mounting otg, formatting data to ext4 (I think it will fail though).
looks iffy:
timezone data seems a bit off (by 1 hour, 5 mins), but who cares about that.
I provide you the recovery image. If someone wants to do some instructions, (Please only RC's with the device) then drop me a pm and I'll add you as a contributor.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
# or
fastboot boot recovery.img
This is tested on the GB version of the Moto E 2015. I understand that there is a 3g version of the moto e 2015. I will NOT be supporting this device, and I recommend you do NOT flash this recovery.
recovery images are distributed via the XDA Download system

I'll add it to the first post when I'm at the pc, but rooting the device breaks camera when in SeLinux enforcing mode.

@cybojenix Any plans of an updated TWRP for the 1st Gen Moto E users? We've been abandoned for long. A last official build from you will suffice for our Lollipop ROMs on Condor.
PS: We've just got official CM, if only you could please provide us a latest official TWRP build now. Just a humble request.

Thanks for your update on the situation.. Considering you're from UK, lollipop will sure take some time to roll out to Moto E. We aren't in a hurry or wanna ask for ETAs, just a humble request that in the future we'll get an official TWRP build updated on TWRP sources. There are some unofficial builds lurking around in the forum with numerous bugs. An official update in the future would ensure hitch free Lollipop custom ROM goodness for our E. We're eternally grateful to you for your work and would hope that one day you would provide an updated build. Thanks, won't be spamming any more this thread and post off topic.

when i tried to use lollipop xposed it slowed my device down and gave me low storage space errors. am i the only one with camera issues when rooted? kinda seems that way. ive since unrooted until a fix comes.
You must have a arm7 model. That's what xposed currently only works on, mine is a gsm LTE arm53.

Yeah you must have the 3g model only? Surprised this recovery works for you. And I tried that app and even some scripts, doesn't work on mine unless I unroot. Must be an issue with my model and SuperSU. Waiting to see if the devs can fix this.
