I'm currently running 4.4.2 and have a notification ota for 4.4.3 but I don't know how to update to it as I am rooted with Franco and xposed.i don't know what to do. So my question is how can I upgrade to 4.4.4 do I have to do 4.4.3 first? What do I have to do about xposed and being rooted.
Thanks

Make a nandroid if possible, and go into Development section and flash a flashable .zip of 4.4.4 that's pre rooted (I recommend Bigxies but Vomers should also do), and reflash Franco Kernel. Should work just fine. You should not need to clear data, dirty flash will suffice. Don't forget to reinstall the framework for Xposed after updating to 4.4.4

I'm running a faux kernel, I'm rooted and have TWRP recovery.
I was on 4.4 and got the notice about 4.4.2 and I accepted. I then got distracted with something and when I came back, my phone was in TWRP recovery. I reset back to system but I see I'm still on 4.4.
So did it fail because I have a custom recovery? or a custom kernel? or root? or something else?
And basically, do I have to go back to full stock to be able to do OTA updates? Or is one of the 3 above I listed messing it up?
Never did OTA updates before so I'm new to this.
Thanks!

Since you have a custom kernel you should fastboot flash the system and boot images from 4.4 before the ota. Of you don't it won't work.

So it is the custom kernel that broke it?
Once I fix that, how do I get the OTA again? Right now I'm on 4.4 and when I check, it says I have the latest
depends... for the recent updates yes, there are patches for certain things so they need those files to be as stock to be able to patch them without issues. if n update comes in the future with a full set of images, then it may not require stock files.

Quick question. I am on 4.4.2 and want to flash Lollipop. Just got my phone, rooted it, installed TWRP, downloaded AICP LP, GAPPS 5.0.x.... On my G2 I had to be on a specific modem. Can I just go in and wipe and flash or do I need to do something special?

Went ahead and tried it and everything worked just fine. Made a backup of course, just in case.
Yeah. It's pretty easy. No need to change modem.
If I want to flash a custom ROM that works with android 5.0.2 will this custom ROM also install 5.0.2 or do I first have to flash 5.0.2 and then flash the custom rom?
thanks.

If you flash a custom ROM, let's say 5.0.2, it will have been built from 5.0.2 source code. Therefore it is 5.0.2, although modified to some degree. Each custom ROM generally has instructions on what to do before flashing it, which is usually just wiping system, data, dalvik and cache partitions in recovery.

Ok, so it doesn't really matter if I'm running KK right now, If I flash a custom 5.0.2 it will also put my phone on 5.0.2?
Sorry I know quite a few things, but I know almost nothing at all about all this stuff.

No, only if youre in GPE there is an additional step to be done , or else youre good to go..
i quoted the answer for your question from the thread -
Do I need to downgrade to 4.4.4 before flashing these ROMs?
No. However an additional step is required if you are currently running a GPE ROM; see next question.
Can I flash this ROM if I'm GPE?
Stock Motorola ROMs require a F2FS 'userdata' partition. If you are GPE, or have ever been; you may need to convert to Stock. More info in FAQ here.

Hi!
I want to try battery on kk.
Can I install kk and how, are there any dangers?
Off course I will do a nandroid backup first from twrp, can I restore it later again from kk to 5.1.1?

I would prefer if there is some stock 4.4.4 rom, debloated, rooted, in a flashable zip file. Anyone knows of it?

No, you don't.
You prefer to take backups of your /sdcard/, flash 4.4.4 factory image, reflash TWRP, and THEN flash your 4.4.4 zip flashable, rooted ROM.

Anyone can suggest what upgrade I should choose and which one is more stable? I want to root my phone as well so if anyone with the official Marshmallow update can give me a good reason to upgrade from 5.0.2 I'd really appreciate it.
Besides sense 7 is there anything else to look forward to in Marshmallow for HTC?
Also anyone with the Marshmallow GPE Rom or Viper M8 please share your experiences with the roms.
For the first time I'm having trouble deciding what to flash on my E8 thanks to all the devs!
I tried everything, and - offical 6.0.1 is better choise. There is best camera. They really updated drivers or libs, i don't know. Stock ROM + custom kernel it's always good. All custom ROM's here is based on older firmwares.

How did you Root and get the custom kernel (without the system write protection) on Marshmallow? Same as how you'd do it on 5.0.x?
Yes, my 6.0.1 rooted, but custom kernel not exist this time. We waiting.

Would you please explain how to root your E8 6.0.1? I prefer to get just root without installing custom recovery, so I can backup stock recovery using flashify just in case for future OTA.
i dont know about way like this. In future u can extract stock recovery from OTA package, that u gonna receive. This always works.
I've flashed supersu 2.67 via recovery.

I received OTA and installed it directly. I forgot to backup the OTA file first so I don't have a chance anymore to extract the stock recovery. I tried to downgrade to 5.02 but always failed.

Downgrading is easy. You need to flash TWRP recovery via fastboot. Do not need full root. ERASE everying. The flash lollipop RUU via external SD.

I have M8SW and it is S-ON, it currently running BinDroid ONE V1.3.0 Android 4.4.4. I'm thinking about trying marshmallow ROM but I've read that is hard to downgrade to Kitkat once the firmware has been upgraded to higher version. But you said above it is easy to downgrade, can you please provide me with the steps to downgrade from marshmallow to kitkat rom. Thanks
