Omnirom and SGP311

Hi. When I try to install latest Omnirom Nightly I get an error. Im on stock 4.2.2 rooted and custom recovery. Latest TWRP reports an error that my tablet is a Pollux and that the software is for Pollux_Windy. But I have a Pollux_Windy. Can it have something to do with firmware I used when I rooted the device? Can I change it somwhere with a text editor? I had to go back to a US. 370 version to be able to root and then a Uk 4.2.2 version to get to stock 4.2.2 with root where I am right now. After factory reset it asked me If I want to use the phone? Strange.
You can only flash AOSP ROMs from stock 4.3 or higher in my experience on the pollux windy , likely due to a partition layout change

From 4.4.2 to lollipop?

Hello guys,
My Xperia z2 is currently running in 4.4.2 firmware.
I have got update notification ? for 4.4.4
But I am waiting for 5.0 , is it possible to directly update from 4.4.2 to lollipop through ota (without flashing ftf . )

Ok so since lollipop hasn't been released yet, I don't think anyone will me able to answer your question certain.
I would assume no. Ota updates I thought are updated system files and not a full rom. There may be a prerequisite to have some (or all) 4.4.4 system partition to be used as a base for 5.0.
I think you will have to do at least two updates. (first 4.4.4 -> phone updates and reboots -> new update notification for 5.0)

how to upgrade from rooted moto e 4.4.4 to official 5.1 lollipop (Solved)

I've Indian moto E 4.4.4 kitkat version.
I've rooted it and using TWRP 2.7.2.0 recovery.
Also, I've uninstalled many system apps and also using ext4 partition with Link2sd app and Xposed app.
Now could anybody please tell me what's the procedure to upgrade it to official stock lollipop 5.1 ROM?

I'm in the same boat. Indian Moto E 4.4.4 rooted with TWRP 2.7.1.0. I haven't removed system apps or installed xposed.
I've been unable to upgrade yet, because I haven't found any instructions that I can be sure apply to my case. From what I gather, I think we're supposed to flash stock rom. I don't know if we have to relock the bootloader though (or flash the stock bootloader?). Still confused
Dont worry guys, no need of upgrading hassels, just flash this zip in TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3167111
