This is my first post so my humble apologies for the lack of forum prowess. I have an unlocked ATT LG D950G to T-Mobile running a LG Flashed Stock 4.2.2 D950G10a version. It's rooted with Towelroot1. I have looked everywhere on pretty much all of the threads for either the .dll/.tot files for an LG Flash procedure or another procedure to force the update to 4.4.2. Has anyone successfully upgraded this phone from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 and if they have do they have the process in which they did it? Thank you for any help you can give.

How do I restore my HTC One M8 to the latest stock everything. (OS, firmware, android version, everything)
I'm not a total newbie in rooting and recoveries, but I just can't seem to find the difference between ROMS and firmware.
Here's what happened:
I was running 4.4.3 rooted on my M8, and then I flashed the MaximusHD ROM (because it had 4.4.4) So I thought, why do the OTA update and then install a ROM when I can just simply install a ROM that already has 4.4.4 installed. What happened then was I lost the ability to turn on wifi, which confused me.
On their post someone wrote that you need to update the firmware or else the wifi wouldn't work. This all got me extremely confused, so I tried to switch on a different ROM to see if the problem would be solved.
I switched over to Android Revolution 21.0, which is what I'm currently stuck on. So I just want to go back to stock HTC firmware and os or whatever it's called.
Here's some info about my device:
HTC One M8, international europe edition, unlocked
Android version: 4.4.4
Software number: 3.28.401.7
I can also add Kernel version, baseband version and build number, but are these necessary?
Thank you to anyone who helps me out with this, I am extremely grateful.
Hi there,
I'd suggest reviewing and having a look at this thread: [GUIDE] Return your European M8 to 100% Stock
Thank you and thread closed!
After update it's impossible to root.
Android 4.4.2
Kernel 4.3.0
Build KOT491.D6050d
Soft D60520d-EUR-XX
Towelroot, Stump, VRoot... nothing works now..
If anyone knows how to root it or downgrade it please tell, life is boring without rooted phone

Good luck!
I think i got it
I had to downgrade firmware using LG Flash Tool and stock .kdz file.
I followed this and it worked fine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
And i downloaded firmware from here http://www.smartphenom.com/2014/07/lg-optimus-l9-ii-d605-firmware.html version D60520A solved my problem, i never tried 20B version and version 10A gave me bootloop.. Be careful
Now towelroot works and i'm happy again!
I am currently having an issue trying to upgrade my phone from (Android OS 4.0.4 Ice cream Sandwich), I cant quite figure out how to do it or if it's even possible but I am trying to upgrade the phone from (4.0.4) to (5.0 Lollipop). As I said before i'm not even sure if its possible to do it but I would like all the help I can get. Also I have already rooted my phone assuming that I would most likely need to in order to upgrade but I have stopped there and don't know what to do now.
These are the phones specifications:
*Phone: Samsung Galaxy S2
*Model: SPH-D710
*Rooted: YES
*Purchase date: 2011-2012
*Provider: Unlocked phone
*Service: I'm using virgin mobile on an unlocked phone.
Those are all the specifications if any more are needed please just request in a reply.
So I'm trying to upgrade the version of the OS to 5.0, any help with this would be great if its not possible what is the latest OS I can upgrade it to and how would I do that?
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
Ok, if you are on 4.0.4 then there are a few extra steps you need to go through before you actually get to where you can flash a custom ROM.
You are already rooted, next you will need to flash a custom recovery(CWM/TWRP/Philz), then you will have to flash a custom 4.3 ROM and an Ice Cream Sandwich modem, then you will flash a custom 4.4 ROM, then you can flash a 5.0 ROM, at least that's the steps i had to go through way back when i first rooted the one i have and flashed up to Kit Kat from 2.3.6(AFAIK there are no custom 5.0+ ROMs for the Epic 4G Touch but there are plenty of nice Kit Kat 4.4.4), I have one also and I've been looking for 5.0 for a while and haven't found one yet but i haven't dug deep to find one. If you find one please send me a PM with a link to where it is, I would appreciate it.

I have a stock unrooted Motorola nexus6 that is currently running lollipop 5.1.1 build LZY28N. I am using the AT&T straight talk sim card. I cannot get it to update to marshmallow. ive been considering unlocking the bootloader and flashing it myself, but I don't know wich build to download. from what ive gathered the LZY28N build is tmobile build. I also seen somewhere that I need to download build MRA58K. I have downloaded this build but have not proceeded because I'm not sure if it is the correct build. I want to get an official build as to not screw up my new device. I recently had a one plus one running cyanogen 12.1 and it was crashing a lot and I'm trying to prevent this from happening to this phone. anyone out there have any info for me? I know how to unlock bootloader, root,install twrp, and flash. I just need some direction as to what build to flash and have everything go as smooth as possible
