Download Moto X2 Marshmallow update OTA and TWRP backup

If you are left waiting by Motorola for the Marshmallow OTA, here is a chance to redeem yourself — and we have the OTA, as well as a TWRP backup package.

Upon installing the OTA via recovery mode, or restoring this TWRP backup, your Moto X 2nd Gen will be running Marshmallow update, exactly as if you installed OTA (except that your own apps and data will be gone in case of TWRP backup, as it’s 100% pure).

Chances are that you already have TWRP recovery, but if not, then install that first. TWRP is an awesome tool that gets you the ability to install custom ROMs and take full-fledged backups.

How To: Well, make sure you have TWRP recovery installed. Then reboot into recovery mode to access TWRP, and then create a backup of your device. This is to create appropriate folders by TWRP on your device. You can take smaller backup, of recovery partition only for example, for this. Although full backup is good to have.

Now, download the Marshmallow backup from below, and then extract the zip file to any separate folder on your PC. Now, look for the folder Marshmallow Europe, which contains all files ending with like emmc, win, md5, etc.

Connect your Moto X2 to PC, and transfer the folder containing Marshmallow backup files to TWRP folder of your device. Disconnect the device now. And reboot into TWRP recovery.

Now, tap on Restore option, and then select the Marshmallow update folder. TWRP will recognize it, and then do the swipe action to start restoration process.
