Safe to upgrade from 4.4.4 to 5.1 by flashing AOSP 5.1

I have a moto e xt1021 (single sim) on kitkat 4.4.4 and I want to upgrade it to Lollipop AOSP 5.1.
So far, there have been no OTA updates to lollipop.
I've heard that lollipop has a different bootloader to kitkat, so i'm unsure if i can simply flash a lollipop rom.
Is there any way I can get lollipop on my phone?

If not, i'll just have to wait for the OTA update (if it ever happens).
Also, do rooted phones still get updates? Mine is rooted, but it's on stock rom with xposed framework.

Thanks.

Will huawei upgrade it to Marshmallow??

Was wondering if Huawei has announced that they will upgrade Honor 7 to marshmallow. I have never used any Huawei device and am interested in Honor 7 so want to know how is Huawei in terms of SW upgrades etc. Does anyone in here has any experience of previous Huawei devices. I am really keen to know this as ROM development and SW upgrades are probably the most important aspects of a device's future.

Upgrade to 5.1.1 with ODIN fails, BL and Modem already 5.1.1

Hi all

I thinks I've done a big mess. Following the xda guide to install modified ROM via ODIN, I've upgraded BL and Modem to 5.1.1
Now, the red string appears on the left top of the screen: INVALID MAGIC STRING
This is the guide

Do exactly step-by-step the following things:
- Unplug your Phone (IMPORTANT!)
- Turn your Phone completely off (This is IMPORTANT)
- Start your Phone in download mode on this way: Press Vol down + Home + Power buttons till the screen turns on, press Vol Up to continue (Only enter download mode on this way, otherwise it won't work!!)[/B]
- Open Odin 3.10.6 on your PC (Make sure you're using this version of Odin, other versions won't work correctly maybe!)
- Click on the 'BL' button, and load in your BOOTLOADER tar.md5 file for your model
- Click on the 'CP' button, and load in your MODEM tar.md5 file for your model
- DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE (you can brick your phone if you choose other settings in Odin)
- Now Connect your phone to your computer (DO NOT connect your phone before this step, otherwise it won't work!)
- Click on the Start button
- Wait till it finish flashing.
- Your phone reboots automatically after flashing.
- Always check after flashing: Settings -> About device -> Baseband; that should show the same modem build number noted as here.
And also check if the bootloader got flashed correctly by downloading an AndroidTerminal app, and enter this command: getprop ro.boot.bootloader

Unfortunately, after this procedure I can't rollback to 5.0.2, neither I can't install 5.1.1. stock firmwares (from sammobile) with ODIN. It goes always FAIL:

Please anyone of you can help me to unblock my device? Whatever firmware is good if device will work again.

Can I upgrade my rooted Asus ZF5 to Android L manually?

I couldn't root my zenfone 5 when it was lollipop . Then I downgraded to 4.4.2 and rooted successfully . When my phone was unrooted I upgraded from kitkat to lollipop by downloading zf5 official lollipop firmware from their website and pasting it into internal storage . Then it updated by itself. But now my phone is rooted kitkat . If I do the same process for upgrading I mean if I paste that lollipop firmware again into internal storage will it be upgraded? I want to upgrade and as well as root . What should I do? Thanks in advance .

Upgrade via stock or flash TWRP backup

Hi guys,

I have done a TRWP backup of the system partition after I upgraded to Android 5.1 (Brazil) but unfortunately I lost that backup stored on my OTG device so my question is how is simple or safer to do:

1. Take a someone backup (if somebody makes it) with Android 5.1 made by TWRP and restore it on my device.

2. Flash Android 5.0.2 without modems, GPT, motoboot and just the system partition and then upgrade via OTA.

So 1 or 2 ?

Thanks !

note 5 upgrade

Looking to upgrade to the NOTE 5. But not sure if it would be worth it yet. I do like the display and that is usually the biggest reason for me. NOTE 4 display still looks hot and roms for note 5 are starting to roll out. What do you think?

I cannot upgrade to lollipop on my shield

So, I have an Nvidia Shield Portable and tried to install the lollipop images (update 103 & 106) but when trying to flash system.img I get remote: insufficient memory and flash fails. Everything else flashes fine. I return to factory images manually and all flash fine (as system.img is 100mb less than lollipop) i even lock the bootloader. I then get every official update up until update 101 then I don't get anymore updates, checked for weeks. Can anyone help? Thanks

(Not my first Rodeo, but tried reformatting and repairing system partitions in twrp (which report plenty of space for update) but still fails)

Upgrade from 4.3 with root

So currently my note 3 is running android 4.3, has root, and I believe has an unlocked boot-loader. Otherwise stock Rom and Recovery.

My question is what can or can't I do to update my phone to a newer version of android while maintaining root.

On a side note anyone know if newer android versions improve BLE support? It's practically non-existent on 4.3

Thanks in advance.
