If the base is 5.0.2, 5.0.2 stock flash again smoothly
Only if you flash the stock 5.1 be careful

If you have stock recovery and on rooted or non rooted stock rom, you will be able to update to Lollipop.

most probably u need the stock package as the OTA will check each and every file and will patch them so an unmodified stock is needed...

[Q] How do I update to custom lollipop?

Hey guys I'm currently on Eclipse based on 4.4.2 (12b) after getting the phone about a month ago. I'm rooted and have twrp installed. Do I need to flash a stock lollipop or can I just dl skydragon/jasmine based on lollipop and flash directly from twrp? Thanks in advance!

#2, can just flash Jasmine directly. I haven't read SkyDragon's OP, so whatever it says, I haven't flashed SkyDragon but it's probably set up the same way as Jasmine.
great thanks! what's the best way to keep my apps?
LG stock ROMs for our phone have an LG Backup service in Settings / Backup & Reset. It works great and is even faster than Titanium Backup. When I run stock, I don't even use Titanium Backup any more but TB is still a lifesaver for non-stock.

Updating to 5.1. help needed!

Hey!
I'm currently on 4.4.4 with a custom recovery and rooted. I got the official Motorola 5.1 update yesterday. I want to know whether i need to flash the stock recovery and unroot before updating? Do i need to do anything else? like updating to 5.02 before updating to 5.1, cause i didn't get the 5.02 update, only the 5.1.
Thanks!
You don't need a 5.02 update, that's why Motorola announced they were skipping 5.0.2 official and going to 5.1
The soak test was 5.0.2 but only works on Indian retail versions (xt1022) of moto e and should not be flashed on other variants.
I think I've read that you need to be unrooted with stock recovery.......
Please don't take my work for it, its here on XDA that's where I read it.
You are lucky to get 5.1, UK is not getting the update at the moment, but I have 5.1 on my moto e via cm12.1.

From Lollipop to KK

My gt-p7510 is rather sluggish since flashing a lollipop rom. What is the best/safest way to get back to 4.4?
The same way you flashed lollipop.

Omni 5.1 IS a lollipop based ROM. So you haven't downgraded. You just went full custom instead. How's it running?

Ended with further downgrade to original rom

What bricks MOTO E ?

this might be a Question most Moto E users will have when they want to flash a new ROM.
i want to flash cm14/lineage OS. i want to know that can i directly flash the new ROM using TWRP? will it brick my phone?
i have a rooted Moto E xt1022 with stock ROM 4.4.4 with unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed.

so can i flash my stock 4.4.4 android to fully unroot, and then update to 5.1 lollipop with the OTA, and then root and directly flash the lineage rom? i heard that one needs to update to lollipop to update one's bootloader...
that would be the correct and safe process right?

Well for starters and device specific https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/warning-downgrading-information-moto-e-t3062859
But there can be other reasons like flashing unstable, wrong roms recoveries kernels scripts etc..

Do you mean we can't downgrade the ROMs, 7.1 to 5.0 directly, so do we have to go 7.1 to 7.0 to 6.0 and then 5.1 and then 5.0?
No we can downgrade directly. But be careful, we shouldn't go to 4.4.2 we can go to lollipop or 4.4.4. I have tried it myself and went back to lineage too
