I updated via OTA but I've recently rooted and installed a custom rom. Is it necessary to go back to stock 5.1 to downgrade?

No need, as long as your custom rom/kernel didn't mess with the fs of the partitions.
Sorry but how can i do that? I tried with root explorer but i can't replace the 3 of 4 files, it says that i don't have permission and i'm with root access. (I can't see .bt_nv.bin).
I did it but nothing changed... any ideas?
(I deleted system/wifi folder, and now i don't have it... maybe someone could give it to me.)

You may have some hardware issue, can't say.
SUCCESS
Thank U so much liveroy!!!!
Obviously u know more about this phone than any human being in xda, and on earth!!
Followed ur instructions, worked absolutely perfectly on 1053, bootloader only unlocked!!
So good to be back to 4.44.
All apps working as should.
Normal wifi, cell, you tube, play store loads quickly w/o the frikkin white blank screen, turn on battery saver and look at that ignorant orange highlites, don't have to open and then close you tube upteen times, battery life returned to excellent!!!
Sound is normal, again.
Fast and responsive, not the ART lag azz baloney.
Really appreciate your sharing this tutorial.
Should be a sticky.
So happy lollipop is gone from my 1053!!!!!!!
Finally, android is not optimizing apps for every re-boot when charging, a 25 minute process now history.
Dumb turdz at google/android with no remorse, throwing lollipop out knowing the flaws, could care less.....likely iPhone in the future.
Now to perform this for several friends phones, they are selling the moto/android and going iPhone

Never used one, can't say for sure, but afaik, they are the same thing as those images leaking, so my guess would be that they are good for downgrade.
I don't understand what you're asking exactly...
Can you please define your question a bit better please?
My son's phone is an AT&T Moto X 2013 with the OTA 5.1 update. We want to downgrade it back to Kit Kat 4.4.4 due to battery problems, charging problems, static noise when playing music, and the 30 minute boot up for optimizing apps (regardless if it is plugged into the charger or not). Tried the Moto webpage for unlocking the Bootloader but it says "your device does not qualify". Are we just out of luck? No way around the AT&T block?
Yea, you're out of luck on this. As I explained in the op, the bootloader won't allow downgrade, unfortunately.
If you got Motorola service centre in your area, it doesn't hurt to go ask them about it, but the chances are slim.
Also maybe your should check Sunshine, although I don't think it supports anything beyond 4.4.4.
Sorry , I'll try to clarify.
To perform the downgrade from 5.1 to 4.44, the bootloader had to be unlocked.
Following successful downgrade to 4.44, is the bootloader still unlocked?
Prior to performing the downgrade, phone would be with a warning screen "bootloader is unlocked".
Following the downgrade, that screen no longer appears.
Thus, I was wondering if the bootloader is still unlocked following the downgrade?
I'm not very tech savvy.
Thanx
The bootloader remains unlocked after the downgrade, basically you can relock it if you so desire, but that won't return it to factory state.The warning message will stay at startup. This message can be changed tho if you flash a modified logo.bin
Thank you, liveroy.
Appreciate your patience and knowledge.
That answered my question.
Try this for the optimizing apps bug...
Go into settings, applications, all... Search for 'System UI' and clear its cache...

Thanks for the tip. His phone has been going thru the optimization every time it reboots ever since getting the 5.1 OTA at the end of July. But a few days ago when I tried to unlock the bootloader using the Moto website and found it could not be unlocked, it now boots normally. Only thing I did was put the Moto X into fastboot mode to get the device ID.
Can any body post a video performing the whole procedure
Video guide showing the whole procedure will b much more useful for the users of moto x

I want to know whether moto x 2013 will get offical android 6.0 update or not bcause most of the websites doesnt include moto x 1st gen in the list of devices expected to get android 6.0

Hello, I'm planing to downgrade to 4.4.4 too. On other How2s I found some more mfastboot instructions:
Futhermore I'm not sure about the Bootloader: Must I have an unlocked one to downgrade or not? Mine is still locked!
Edit: Sorry, missed to read the prerequisites ... Unlocked BL ist neccessary!
don't I need these?

You don't need to flash modem or erase it's stage props, nor flashing fsg.
Bootloader needs to be unlocked.
