to clarify :
"Motorola E" has (too) many sub types: :mad:


- first generation. "moto e 1. gen" of 2014 --- Condor

- second generation "moto e 2. gen" of 2015 --- Surnia (earlier known as "Styx")

-- then among 2. gen :
- GSM, CDMA, LTE (having different processor types as well)


our guy: :good::good: XT 1527 surnia :good::good: or XT 1524 globally ?

Moto E with 4G LTE - US GSM ------ XT1527 -------- -- sold in Europe and Germany sth. like €120 --
CPU: 4x 1.20GHz Cortex-A53 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 410, 64bit) • GPU: Adreno 306 • RAM: 1GB •

board name: surnia

GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz) " third generation stuff "
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 1700 (AWS), 1900 MHz)
4G LTE (2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17) " fourth generation stuff "
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Moto E XT1527, XT1511 - for USA
Moto E XT1505, XT1524 - Global models

two other 2. gen -- Moto E variants:


Moto E - US GSM (XT1511):
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 1700 (AWS), 1900 MHz)

Moto E - Global GSM (XT1505):
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)



I want a cheap Android with good open source support. Here the XT1527 and SONY Xperia E3 seem best, both cost ~120 €. But the E3 seems better officialy supported by SONY.

Hello,
I have an XT1527, running 5.1, baseband says **SURNIA_TMO_CUST, system version says **surnia_retus.retus.en.US.retus.

I'm a T-Moble customer, and trying to go back to 5.0.2

I've tried this rom: XT1527_SURNIA_CC_TMO_5.0.2_LXI22.50-32_ cid9_ subsidy-CCAWS_CFC.xml.zip ------ T - mobile, and this one: XT1527_SURNIA_RETUS_5.0.2_LXI22.50-24.1_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip.

I get to the point where I try to flash the partition and it fails. I've also continued and tried to do the next command which is mfastboot bootloader bootoader.img and that fails too.

Any guesses what I'm doing wrong? Or should I just continue down the lines of commands and keep trying? I'm using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/moto-e-2015/general/guide-restore-moto-e-2015-stock-firmware-t3044936

I'll ask on that thread too, but just thought I'd ask here.
TIA

@mai77 here is a mirror for the firmware SURNIA_RETUS_5.0.2_LXI22.50-24.1_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

Baidu

Mega mirror comes soon, sorry but filefactory mirror is a joke not resumable and no highspeed

i'll also mirror the 5.1 firmware *or a deodex version if not already deodexed* and motofirmware woun't let me download it keeps failing, so i hope mirrors is appreciated

might be irreversible boot-loader? this is known to be "locked" for downgrade, because of reasons as we don't want downgrades? also try use the bat file, it will execute the commands for you once you CD into the directory with the files and the bat in same folder

Moto E 2015
LG Leon
hi, i have a moto e (xt1527) with 64bit processor (cortex a53). The problem is that in several applications it shows me that it is 32 bits, I have used lineage os (currently), resurrection remix and mokee, but none use 64 bits. Do you know any rom that uses 64 bits? If they have the same model and have the 64 bits "activated", it would be very much a screenshot with the 64bits and the rom used.
