Motorola is quite frisky in releasing the Android Lollipop updates to its devices but still Android 5.1 is not widely available for the Moto G devices. The Moto G XT1032 users have not yet received the Lollipop 5.1 update but the GPE counterpart of the device has already enjoying the official 5.1 update. Luckily, ronin790 of XDA developers has made the Android 5.1 GPE update available for all the Moto G users in the form of a one-click installer. In the bundle, you’ll also find the option to root your device, install TWRP recovery and few other options. Below you can find the complete feature set of the tool:
Contents of the One-Click Installer
- Moto G GPE Android 5.1 Lollipop
- 15 second ADB setup for ADB installation, Fastboot and Drivers
- TWRP recovery 2.8.6.0
- SuperSU 2.4.6
- Dark Moto Logo
- Restore to Default (stock recovery and boot logo tweak)
So, if you’re ready to install the official GPE Android 5.1 Lollipop on Moto G, grab the download package and follow the simple instructions to use the tool. But before you go, I’d recommend you to backup necessary files on your device, a full nandroid backup is preferable.

That seems to be a known problem, you have to flash your fsg.mbn file again, google for that and you will be able to make it work. That one is different depending on which model (intl, U.S. etc.) you have so that sometimes leads to problems.
