Steps

Go in TWRP recovery > Tap on Backup > Select backup location from top bar > Select "System + Boot + PDS" > Swipe to Backup > Go Back > Reboot to system. This process will create TWRP directory inside Internal Storage or External SD card depending what you have selected.

Download the 6.0 TWRP backup file (615MB) zip from here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3k7qoMwi-L4d2RyRmIzNWQ0aFU/view

Extract the contents of the zip. You will see "marshmallow_titan" folder, open it & you will see "2015-11-22--20-17-22_MPB24.65-10" folder.

Using ES File Manager or a PC, go to your TWRP folder inside your Moto G2 where you have backed up your previous ROM.

Open TWRP Folder, inside it there should be a "BACKUPS" folder, inside it there should be a folder having your "Serial Number" as its name.

Open that "Serial Number" folder & copy the extracted "2015-11-22--20-17-22_MPB24.65-10" folder in this "Serial Number" folder.

Finally it should look like this : Internal Storage or External SD Card > TWRP > BACKUPS > *Serial Number* Folder > 2015-11-22--20-17-22_MPB24.65-10

Go in TWRP recovery > Wipe > Factory Reset > Go Back

Tap on Restore > Select the location of the copied "2015-11-22--20-17-22_MPB24.65-10" folder from top (Internal Storage / External SD Card) > Select 2015-11-22--20-17-22_MPB24.65-10 > Select System + Boot > Swipe to Restore > Go Back

After going back to Main Menu of TWRP > Reboot > System. It will prompt to install "SuperSU" > Select "Do Not Install"

Be patient, 1st boot will take a long time. Around 15-20 mins to boot into system.


Rooting

Do not flash SuperSU zip via TWRP to root this ROM. It will result in a Bootloop !

You need to boot into system first. This ROM needs a special boot image to be booted up previously & then any SuperSU 2.4x or higher zip can be flashed later on.

This was backed up by a xt1069 or 68, works in xt1069 normally?

Flashed XT1069 Firmware & 6.0 OTA Zip then backed using TWRP on a XT1068, will perfectly work on XT1069 as the firmware backup is for XT1069.

 

[satishgoli]

Thanks for your wonderful effort and sharing 6.0 here. Because Sharing is Caring ....

 

[FreedFromDeath]

Installed it on my Mexican XT1064 and it works flawlessly. I don't really ever use SMS so it's all good for me. SystemUI Tweaker is excellent for removing the annoying quick settings tile for the non existent second sim in my model.

For now it's all working fine.

Thank you!!!

 

[lord-overwrite]

Good Work!

 

[gabrielgarioli]

The SIM card is not working. It recognized but doesn't work.

I already did the step 4 of this guide, and already did a factory reset, and still not working.

Can you help me?
I'm using a XT1069 here.

 

[jackcicci]

Thank you for sharing, I will try soon. I suppose that I can download and unpack the zip also with PC and copy the folder to the phone... I will try this way

Did you flash XT1068 Modem files on your XT1069?

 

[gvala]

Working fine. Just needed a factory reset (xt-1068)

 

[fr3d0x]

Is this compatible with xt1063?

 

[walidham]

Did you flash XT1068 Modem files on your XT1069?

i think no need, i flashed backup without flash XT1068 Moddem files, and work fine (sim, call, sms, camera...)

 

[prathameshsd]

Is this compatible with xt1063?

it should be, users flashed this on XT1064 without any issues. Go give it a try so that I can update it in the OP

how to do it? my sim card doesn't work either.

 

[vaporwavie]

Good, very good! 615MB hurts my ISP but I will try it for sure.

 

[Ngineer11]

Nevermind, i just googled it. If your SIM Card doesn't work and you have XT1068 you just need to flash these modem files http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/xt1068-retaildsdsall-modem-files-xt1068-t2965146.

 

[G.I. Jew]

Hey there, sorry for asking this, but will I lose my data if I install this? I mean, is there a way to keep my data without having to go through the tedious Titanium Backup process? Thanks in advance.

 

[shahid221]

Just Flashed

Flashing it on XT1068 Indian. I will comment about bugs after using. A very big thanks for this :good:
