Here is what I did from stock 5.1.1 on a rooted verizon Note 4 (Using PaulPizz MMB29M.N910VVRS2CQB2):
Using Oden I installed:
VRS2CQB2_modems.tar.md5
VRS2CQB2_Bootloaders_NoAboot.tar.md5 and
VRS2CQB2_NoAboot.tar.md5
The phone boots into 6.0.1 (Kernel 3.10.40) and I have access to TWRP, ADB, ODIN, and root.
Paul suggested "You need to update your aboot partition to 6.0.1. the wifi driver is in the new aboot"
I am a noob and I don't understand what this means. Can anybody give me a list of steps to follow? I think I might be in over my head and returning to stock 6.0.1 might be acceptable.

dhplap, I appreciate the link to a different process but there seems to be too much assumed knowledge for me to try again (like what am I supposed to do with a .7z file). I am afraid I'm gonna brick the phone. I have flashed back to stock 5.1.1 (BPA1), verified the WiFi was working again and then flashed the stock CQC1 ROM from SamMobile. I really just wanted to get the latest security patches and have found a way to do that. My CID is still 150100523231384d4100657e54fc1200 which may be helpful in the future.
I am done for now with custom ROMs. I may take another swing at it when I have more time to educate myself. You may close this thread. My sincere thanks for your help.

You need to either flash the stock mm or lp rom you lost your WiFi do to the fact that your device while I'm certain it says 6.0.1 is in all reality 5.1.1 with the toolchain updated to mm . If you want a stock system with working radio Odin the stock firmware either api works

He did flash stock mm. It was the last thing he flashed according to his list. He needs to upgrade his bootloader to mm.

First of all your wasted. If he flashes stock mm he will lose root and lock his bootloader again and have to go back to bpa1 and start all over. Hence upgrade bootloader. Or he could stay on lollipop.

That's for sure. Read the second post buddy. That's what he needed to do to update his bootloader and keep root if he wanted too, or he could have just flashed a lollipop rom. Understand or no? Sorry, can't play with you anymore right now, gotta go to work. I'll be back later though if you have any questions.

First of all, apologies for such a question.
Im lost. Its been a long time since i browsed through this forum. I have my at&t m8 running slimkat 4.4.4 and twrp 2.8.1.0. Cant seem to update twrp, stuck on entering recovery. Right now i would like to update to lollipop but i dont knw where to start. Can someone please pin point me the procedures. What i need to do prior. Thanks in advance.
Update: I followed the guide to upgrade via fastboot. Successfully installed but every time I install a lollipop Rom I don't have signal. The only way I get signal back is if I revert with a nandroid backup sense. Under software info in settings my imei doesn't show up
Any help would be appreciated

Have you checked the at&t subforum here for the M8, did you check the stock backup and firmware thread in the general section ?
Get a official stock backup, preferably a lower based one than your software is numbered now and update via official HTC updates again.

Use ODIN and the OH1 TAR file from SAMMOBILE. That will bring you up to the most recent stock and baseband. Then Unikernel and TWRP and flash the ROM.

No I can't. But I see no reason to doubt what he says he's done himself. I do know the method he mentions was verified for several lollipop ROMs by multiple users.
OTH. Until I read the post above, IIRC, that's the first I've heard of it working on KitKat. TBH, I've not attempted this- "works on any ROM" concept but stayed close or with my bootloader. OB7 bootloader running OG5 being the biggest exception. But I've also made exceptions for kernels and modems but stayed close to revision of bootloader. I feel max compatibility is where they all match. When possible, that's what I run with.
KitKat may boot with your lollipop bootloader and lollipop 5.1.1 custom rooted kernel but how stable and compatible is it? For me, KitKat WiFi Calling was never stable. Not saying it's a total waste of time; use at your own risk.
I can't affirm with absolute certainty that Odin won't allow you to downgrade once your bootloader is greater than OB7 (because I never tried it, myself) but I can say MANY reported and posted failed Odin logs to confirm that. (That is confirmation). AND some had to use Philz CWM touch recovery for Note 4 to factory reset and flash in recovery after TWRP failed to flash afterwards and for a time; there were a few to confirm this. Don't try to "downgrade to KitKat with Odin" unless your bootloader is OB7 or less. If bootloader is greater than OB7, use recovery only plus the kernel mentioned for downgrade. It's a risk vs reward to consider yourself.

So I got bored today. I decided to give MM another go. BIG mistake. I can't get back to lollipop. I made a TWRP backup but restoring from it gets stuck on the Samsung screen. It just says Kernel is not seandroid enforcing. I installed MM via odin and it must of upgraded the boot loader because now when I try to flash 5.1.1 via odin I get sw rev check fail device 4 binary 3 on my phone. HELP! I can't even get MM past the "LTE Plus" boot screen on MM. Any advice would be wonderful! Otherwise my s6 is a nice paperweight and I'm stuck without a phone
AFAIK, if you are on one of the 3-4 latest MM builds, you CANNOT go back to 5.1.1 anymore.
Samsung added the anti-downgrade function to those builds already.
You cannot downgrade as yaibakt pointed out. After installing the latest MM version via Odin, boot to stock recovery and wipe all user data. It will boot then.

If you already did update to Nougat via OTA, flashing that Marshmallow stock image can/will brick your device.
There is a generic RETAIL Nougat Stock image for the April Security Updates flying around somewhere. But generally you should install the stock version you originally had on your device, and then update from there.

I have no idea in what channel a phone will end up with the generic RETAIL images. I just did a dump of every single partition on my phone before I installed custom stuff, so I can always get back to how it was originally, and OTA from there.

No problem... any time you change a phone I always suggest to really look at the Guides and Discussion section and get to know the phone well before jumping in and hacking it.. Plus Moto did not make this one as simple to flash and recover as some of their others.

Below is a link on how to properly downgrade and then be able to take OTA.
I can not say it enough... I really wish people would first learn how to correct their phones before they make the changes.
It really is simple, would you learn how to properly parachute before or after you jump from the plane?

You will have to reinstall to complete Stock (see link below). You can not OTA from a customer rom.

As far as I Moto has not released any signed firmware for the Addison.
Just flash this with RSD lite and you`ll have 7.1.1 with aug patch )

Flashing that on my reteu device resulted in a bootloop with the phone playing the "Hello Moto" sound over and over again.
I could flash LineageOS over it and it worked fine, but it did not give me a working stock OS.

You can try to do next:
1. Wipe everything (incl internal storage with TWRP)
2. Format (not wipe) data with TWRP
3. Go to fastboot and flash stock ROM with RSD lite
P.S. If you still have bootloop - just flash TWRP and SuperSU with it. But if you`ll do everything, what i wrote - You`ll have fully worked device.
Good luck )

Step 3 is what I did originally, including erasing userdata. With that exact stock ROM.
I only wanted to update the bootloader and radio firmware, so I don't overly care it does not boot by itself, as I'm using LaOS.
Just as a note for anyone trying to use that image.
