Hello.... I think my 4 hours research can help you guys! I have a moto X 1st gen(no lollipop still) and my cousin has a moto E(XT1022)...he pleaded me to give his phone lollipop taste as there is so many links in XDA developers forum!
so,my cousin's moto E(XT1022) have no root,bootloader locked and running kitkat 4.4.4.
I tried the method by prince.d.emperor (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/ultimate-guide-update-xt1022-to-5-0-2-t3029436 )but everytime during boot the system stop updating and showed error and rebooted saying update to your moto e wasn't successful!!!
now,the solution is -if like me you have also flashed your moto E using some guide(for me I used this awesome guide by Viraj-http://dev-viraj.blogspot.in/2014/11/flash-stock-rom-444-lock-bootloader-on.html )then you have to flash the stock recovery image of kitkat 4.4.4- just-search in xda ..there are lots of post about this..in my case I followed this- http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/stock-recovery-recovery-img-t3031437
after that you can follow the method by prince.d.emperor mentioned above. If never flashed(updated via ota only)then I guess u can directly follow prince.d.emperor's guide.
this way moto E boots and the upgrading of android was complete(took 20+ minutes!!!)
Have a good day ahead..... I will be happy if any moto E user has suceesfully upgraded to lollipop with the help of this post! ~pray for my moto X 1st gen
So this is embarrassing to admit but...
I upgraded to 5.1 on the Verizon Moto E (XTL528) and later realized you cannot get GSM working on the phone if you remove your sim.
Um.. My question is basically this: Does anyone know if there's a link to the stock rom for the Moto E (XTL1528) or otherwise think it's possible to use the XTL1527 stock rom without damaging the device?
Tried using google but couldn't find the answer. plus reddit doesn't seem to be much help.
From my understanding, since the boot loader is still locked there's no way for you to flash any rom regardless of whether it's the same model or not.

Hi,
I am also in same situation as you.
Found firmware link at http://motofirmware.center/files/file/78-vrz_xt1528_lxi2250-28_cfcxmlzip/
But I could not restore back to 5.0.2 using above link. Got error.
If you found howto downgrade, please tell me.
Friends...I've got few doubts regarding flashing my moto E first gen running on lollipop 5.1..I wish to root my phone...I've read on this site about flashing my phone..but few things are not clear..
1. I wish to maintain originality of android lollipop without any modifications but with root access...means I don't wish to flash my phone with ANY CFW after rooting..is this possible?
2. Is it possible to get genuine OTA updates from Motorola even after rooting my phone?
Please clear my doubts so that I can move ahead with rooting..thanking you...
hi I have a moto e xt1021, I recently successfully upgraded to lollipop Retail us 51 optimized v 1.0 zip geodexed, using bootloader, but wasn't too happy that the home button didn't send me back to home page . I decided to try using v_1.0a zip non geodexed to see if it made a difference unfortunately I just get a large white android sign on screen now cant get back into phone only teamwin options , should I get original rom and go back to 4.4.4 KitKat, sorry cant b more specific bit of a noob.
Hi guys, this is a hell of a story I have to tell and it's complicated as ****. So please if you think you can help me, take the time to read it I'll also add some screenshots.
So Monday I decided to root my Moto G3 and install the custom Android 7.0 Nougat rom (because it won't get it officialy). I did everything using a tutorial from the AndroidDoctor on YouTube.
So everything went well so far and I got my Android 7.0 custom rom. Tuesday I decided to get rid of the rom because I didn't really like it and I wanted my original software back and wanted to unroot.
So I did something insanely stupid, I deleted the files (Supersu, the rom and the GApss) from my phone using the device manager for my phone on my pc thinking this would get rid of the root and the rom on my phone.
So I decided to reboot my phone to get my old software back and I got in a bootloop. I had a lot of research but nothing can really fix my problem.
So I used the tutorial to fix it also by the AndroidDoctor.
So you guys are my only hope, what else can I do? The only screen that is working on my phone is the boot menu.
Any help is appreciated thanks !
Device:
Moto G3 (2015) XT1541 8GB
Software before rooting and installing my custom rom:
Android 6.0.1
