Hey guys I have a random stupid question. My phone is rooted and I have safestrap recovery installed but I haven't messed with it in a while. I have a few roms on it but I for some reason I can't remember I have just been using the stock rom. I've been getting prompted for system update for a long time now but it errors out when I install it (probably because of being rooted). How can I manually install the latest "stock rom". What is the actual name for the stock rom? Right now I'm running 9.16.6.XT926.Verizon.en.US which is android version 4.1.2. Since I haven't messed with it in over a year I would imagine there's quite a few updates to the one I'm running. So basically my question is what is the official name for the stock rom (I keep wanting to call it firmware but I'm pretty sure thats not it) and where can I get the latest and greatest. Thanks!

Yeah, the update is probably failing because of something you did with root access. However, before you decide to update, I would unlock your bootloader. You're still on a system version that can be unlocked. Once you're unlocked, you can FXZ to the newest update, flash an aftermarket recovery, and then flash a SU.zip to gain root.

So if you haven't already done so, you should unlock first. Here's a screenshot showing the current software version. Also included link to the zip.

Q&A for [ ROM ][ Oct 7 ] Stock Rooted 4.4.4 XNPH38R
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:

I was having issues flashing the 38R OTA binary, but this stock ROM solution circumvented that :good:.
Used TWRP custom recovery, root maintained, no issues.
Thanks @Calkulin et al
So I flashed Calkulin's awesome stock ROM I see that here in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
There is version 2.13 update for superSU. If I just flash the zip from there would the rom still be OTA safe? Is this essentially what Calkulin did with version 2.02 superSU in the first place? Thanks in advance.
Is this ROM OTA Safe?? I mean can i update via OTA if i flashed this ROM????

not able to update to 38R on rooted 33R
i have rooted my Oneplus One 33R version.
can anyone help me to update to 38R without loosing my apps & data.
step by step illustration would be very helpful (with images & links if possible).
Thnx man, downloading!
Srry, wrong thread I noticed :x
I am already in CM11s 25R. Can I use the current CM11 recovery and run your zip directly from recovery?
Another question,
would my oneplus still allow me to flash from recovery to stock 25R version after installing this XNPH38R version? I am reading some bad reviews about 38R and I would like to ensure that I can go back to 25R if I won't like 38R.
Calkulins stock rooted safe?
Hi,
My operator closed my data with warnings that is been hacked and abuse by criminals... I used Calkulins R38 v1.0 to update from R33 to R38 (had franco in already then). So how to check if there is no backdoor of something in this zip... I have root rights only for FKU beta, GSam, TWRP and MyProfiles.
I already started monitorin IP traffic, have not noticed anything weird ip's that device is connecting via wifi, ofc cant use mobile data anymore cos its been shut down (for real). So its the rooted stock or some of those applications... nothing else is new from my previous phone app-vise.
Ah, been running this compo for few days without updated only from play store... latest was Francos FKU beta updater... hmmm.?
Any ideas how to check more, tried even those lame virus scanners available...
Cheers!
Can someone give instructions how to flash it? Take into account that i have problem booting into custom recovery. I opened a thread into one plus forum for this (it is called " how to root opo with 38r") but i can't put the link here because i have less than 10 posts.
how can i install if i am not root?
Switching around ROMs last few days, this one works flawlessly. Came from an other ROM which had several bugs. TWRP is the recovery I am using. No problems at all installing it. Thanks to the author of this
Can I just download this straight to my phone?

You r great man
Hi there man,
I Thought my OPO was dead because I made a complete (I mean complete) erase of all kind of data. However I installed TWRP before making that thing, but I tried a lot of ROMs (including Offical ROM) and most of them showed the message (MD5 not found). However your version was great, and worked properly.
Thanks Man. You saved me some bucks. Thanks a lot.

Waiting for Calkulin to apply his magic on the latest OTA release!
Does this wipe device data?

Does it come with gapps?
Hi all
I just received my OPO last friday.
As soon as i booted up, the OTA update came up, i accepted and installed the update. My phone booted to TWRP recovery (which i had just flashed minutes before) and applied the .zip, but it never rebooted.
Now my phone just have a black screen and there is no way to turn it on. I can feel the vibrate when i hold in the power button, like if it started, but the screen stays dark.
When i plug the phone into the charger, it only vibrates and nothing happens. The screen is all black.
When i plug it into my PC, it's not even recognized.
What the hell did i do wrong, and how do i fix it?!
I'm kinda desperate as i received my OPO last friday, and I really want it up and running!!
Thank you
Maybe u didn't unlock ur bootloader.

Hello, someting really weird (for me) happened on my nexus 5. I was running stock 4.4.4 rooted with elementalx kernel, and i decided to return to stock and flash android lolipop. (I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701)
I firstly flashed 4.4.4 stock just to be sure there wont be any complication with the kernel change.
after that, i flashed lollipop according to the guide above.
after i locked the bootloader and opened the phone i saw something strange, an icon in the app drawer named ''SuperSU installer'' . it was a system app and i couldnt even uninstall it, but i could only disable it.
Also, in the past, i had used the ''simcardchanger.apk'' (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/app-sim-changer-change-registered-sim-t2106490), to put my phone number in the ''about'' section of my phone because it was marked as ''unknown''. my phone number was still there after the flash of the new ROM (!)
How could these 2 survive the flash of 2 ROMS?
Is there anything i can do to return my phone to complete stock without even ''simcardchanger'' marking my phone number in the about section of the settings??
[PS: i am now running lollipop stock, unrooted and locked bootloader.]
i would appreciate if any of you is bored enough to solve this question. Thank you.
About 3 weeks i installed the Kitkat rom stock on my N5.
Today i tried to see something about the OTA update to Lollipop, and surprisingly i saw isn't it arrived to me.
I just tried to Clear Data from the Google Services Framework- still the same.
Somebody know how can i get it ?
Thanks for answering,
Tal.
Are you rooted? If so, you'll need to unroot to take the OTA.
Sideload this via ADB: clickity-click.
Wait. I think you'll need to sideload the 5.0 update first, and then do the one I linked for 5.0.1. Can somebody confirm this?
First of all don't clear Google services framework data that messes up stuff pretty bad. Second d, this should be in q and a section. Third just flash the 5.0.1 factory images or there is a flash able zip out if you're rooted with custom recovery.

So isn't it only on my device. OK.
Thanks !!
It never was your device. The OTA is rolling out in phases (not sure it's true that it got pulled but I could be wrong)... Just flash the factory images or lollipop stock ROM flashable zip. There are plenty of threads about this in the stickies...
Hi, after looking on google and the xda forum I didn´t find a similar question to my problem.
I am on 4.4.4, currently rooted and bootloader unlocked, and I am receiving the OTA update. The first time I tried to update, I got an error because I was on a custom recovery; installed stock recovery and tried again (downloading again OTA). This second time the progress bar started moving and suddenly the phone rebooted to normal and said that something happened and the phone was not updated.
My question is: do I need to be completely stock, even withouht root, to update? I mean, I can´t find a post that says the requirement to update to Lollipop in specific (non english speaker here, sorry).
Hi there! I'm from Brasil. Owner of a Moto G music edition XT1033. I had the same problem with my phone here. Except that I did not use any custom recovery. I think that when I rooted my phone, the proccess I followed has changed the recovery in some way. Even after removing the root access by the option on SuperSU I was unable to install the OTA. I think that if you flash only the recovery of an stock ROM, you might receive the update via OTA. But the solution I used was to flash the entire stock 4.4.4 ROM. After the flashing process I received the OTA again and using 5.0.2 since then... And loving It!
I hope this reply helps you in any way!
Good luck!
