If you made a backup of your kitkat including the efs yeah, if not then you're stuck on lollipop.

well you can go back to kitkat to fix your black list issue thats not a problem. But if you planning on keeping it kitkat, it won't be as stable as being on Lollipop. If you want to stay on lollipop though, you can easily go back to Kit Kat and fix your backlist issue however that works and then just KDZ back to Lollipop.

sorry for the miss information. Yes you can downgrade to kitkat(but you won't have any signal) and then after you have fixed your issue go back to lollipop ?

Lollipop downgrade

Hi there, I upgraded to the 20a lollipop build via kdz. But now with the custom builds out I'd like to go back to so I can use twrp.
My question is do i need to use a tot file to go back to Kk or can I use a kdz to return to Kk?
Then root, use flashify bump twrp and flash away

Kdz is fine.

I don't think we can downgrade from 20a to Kitkat and bump again. At least not yet. This is due to new bootloader installed from 20a KDZ.

You are wrong. Kdz overwrites the bootloader. There were reports of succesfull downgrades via kdz.

Awesome if this is the case. Can you please point me to that thread if possible? I also have one Lollipop G3 waiting for a downgrade.
Thanks!

This thread.
Plus a lot of people on 4pda forums downgraded via kdz, all went fine.
Btw, if you are afraid of .kdz bricking your phone, take .tot and .dll from here. I never saw a brick because someone used .kdz instead of .tot, and i don't believe that this is even possible, but still...
All done, kdz downgrade went all fine!

WTF v20E back to v10L using non TOT method. Bootloop
I think its because of the data partition?
Hey guys,
is there a general consensus that the L update (at least stock/OTA) is not ready yet? I've seen quite some negative feedback about people disliking 5.x.
Is this just people enjoying L doesn't really make voices or there is indeed a major flaw with it as of no

Well, opinions differ due to different usage scenarios and apps. Plus some may be blinded by "novelty" of 5.0.
I can't stand current 5.0. Sure, it's faster than 4.4.2, but it's also less smooth - and THAT is painful. Applications are way jerkier on 5.0 - G+, Vkontakte, Gplay, nova launcher, thousands of other apps - they all have animation problems on Lollipop.
20X firmwares are based on 5.0.0, which is full of holes - at least 1 confirmed memory leak, tons of bugs that were fixed in 5.0.1 and 5.0.2... Plus, some features were crippled in transition - native 5.0 "Do not disturb" sucks big time, no true "guest mode", "new" (Read - stock) "recents" are an epic fail, etc etc etc...
Battery is A LOT worse - during 4G browsing on Kitkat i'm easily able to reach 6.30-7 SOT. On 5.0 even 5.0 SOT is hard to reach...
I decided to wait for LG to fix Lollipop, since it's unusable in it's current state. Rebooting the phone every day (To avoid speed drops, memory leaks are strong with this one...), keeping up with bugs like "Screen turns off and on while on wireless charger" is simply too much for me.

Usually loss of imei is a bad or corrupted EFS partition.
The first thing I would do is flash the stock Firmware and see what happens

You won't be able to apply it while rooted. The upgrade will fail.
You can disable the app Motorola Updates with Titanium Backup to stop the annoying update screen all the time.

You are in doo doo land if you are rooted, use twrp and never backed up your virgin ROM.
There is a post, not long ago, in the Nougat Update thread showing all the fundamental steps.
I have not rooted since early KK.

Here's the firmware
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/addison/official/
I would say you're safe to flash a us firmware but only flash the 10 sparsechunks,recovery , boot img and OEM IMG if you flash and modem file or any other file you'll end up losing your IMEI.
But you're always taking a chance.

I think I'd tend to agree with this, but with no real experience with Moto to back it up.
WTF is ROW though?
