Thank you very much for this.
It would be great if you would clarify this for me and the rest of the users who look at this in your Original Post:
- Do you keep root after this?
- Any way to keep my data and apps?
- Is battery life better on 5.1 than it is on 5.0.2?
- What is the meaning of life?

 

[KidJoe]

So the point of this thread is to restore a back up of someone's Lollipop 5.1 install

Does this backup only include system? Does it include radios? Or anything else?

You can install SuperSU after restore this backup.
Best way is wipe data and cache.
For me battery life is little better.
I google'd for you meaning of life, there was no results and browser get fc when I search this.

 

[pinhead97]

Is this 5.1 meant for xt1052? If so, what version? (E.g. Asia, gb retail etc)

In using it on xt1052 and should work with most moto x variants.

It is only system and boot, not more. (Like cyanogenmod)
