Root [MetroPCS & T-Mobile] New Full v10J ROM Flashable *Updated 9/26/2015*

The problem here is that it seems you did a full wipe and deleted the system. You should have just followed the directions listed and would have been fine. I'm currently occupied so I'll be back later hopefully with a solution for you.
Ok thank you. And yes it is entirely my fault for following the directions as listed. I hope you can help me and thank you again.

the thing is
You didn't do a system back up? if so, just restore back to it. reboot. then try the updated again. if you didn't back up I can make a clean back up for you to restore from.

the thing is as far i understand he Wipe system meaning after Flashing the LP511_MS631_6-30-2015.zip should get that system back but update to 5.1.1 so there must be something else or maybe doing something wrong idk.

We had people do that with spirit and the Mega. I made them a clean backup of the system. had them flash it through restore and they were back up and running.

Does it have to be rooted for this update? My phone isn't rooted at all and is at software version 3110a

1- yes need to be Rooted so you'll be able to install TWRP
2- you can still do OTA but you'll be loosing your bootloader to be lock meaning can root but not install custom recovery and without TWRP custom recovery wont be able to Flash and try new roms.
3- updating with @GameTheory flashable zip file you will sustain Root + Custom Recovery + Unlock Bootloader

Ok i can get into twrp recovery but when i tried to flash it says no root

you'll be fine if it say that when Reboot

OK so I also did a clean back up of 5.1.1 for metro pcs. It would be used exactly as the above one. (when i say clean back up. That means a pretty much Stock but rooted ROM like you'd get out of the box.)

You shouldn't post that as that doesn't fully update to 5.1.1 since it will be missing the new modem.

He can use your 5.0.2 backup and then follow what's in the first post to update.

No, that wasn't for him. I was posting the 5.1.1 back for those who are on 5.1.1 that might mess something up and not have a back up for it.

Sorry for any confusion.
