[Q]Regarding Google s4 Safestrap - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to all of this. I have a question about this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2767026
I am currently rooted, and safestrap on version 4.4.2 of kitkat. When I flash this, I am going to flash version 4.4.2, but this rom also has downloads for 4.4.3 and 4.4.4. Do I need to start with 4.4.2 and flash my way up in order to get to 4.4.4?
Thanks!

[Q] KitKat Bootloader

After reading some posts in development forum, we need latest KitKat bootloader before installing the 4.4 ROM. Where could we find the KitKat bootloader ? I am using stock xt925 bootloader and running CM rom (4.3).
Thanks,

Just flash epinter builds, you don't need KK bootloader for that builds.

Did you update your phone to the official Kit Kat via the Motorola/Verizon KK OTA? Then you have it already. You just have to get the correct recovery (TWRP 2.7.1.0 or CWM 6.0.4.9)
He/She have the xt925 not xt926 so no official KK update yet, we have an KK leaked soak test but isn't recommended to install so stay with epinter's builds is the better choice for us.

I did not update my phone to official Kit Kat because my phone is GSM XT925 not CDMA XT926. So I am still at JB 4.3.
How do I update to the KitKat bootloader? I have been running Slimkat but I want to try ParanoidAndroid.
If I update to the KitKat bootloader will I be able to go back to the previous bootloader and restore my Slimkat backup if need be?

[Q] While OTA update to 4..4.4 work if I first restock on 4.4.2?

I need to flash my Moto G (currently on rooted stock 4.4.4) to stock 4.4.2 in order to solve some issues. I could not find any 4.4.4 stock Rom actually, only 4.4.2.
My 3 questions are:
- among the different versions of 44.2 Stock that are listed for my country, can I just select the highest version number?
- will the root stay after restocking to 4.4.2 as per the FAQ?
- once on 4.4.2, will the phone be updated over OTA again to 4.4.4?
Thanks

You can follow the instructions from the OTA help-desk thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217
Xposed ALPHA for Lollipop 5.0 is available. There's nothing to expect for Lollipop 5.1 in the coming weeks.

If the custom ROM itself did not come as Lollipop when you flashed it, it cannot be "updated" to Lollipop. Instead, look for a version of your custom ROM that specifically states that it comes as Android Lollipop, and then flash that in your custom recovery.

Rooted for over a year and need help upgrading

Hi, I'm on android version 4.4.4 NK4 and I was wondering what exactly I had to do to get stock rooted lollipop. I would really appreciate any help I could get.

I used this post to update to OK4, current lollipop version, and then rooted stock version (I used metalfan's 1/19 modified build). he has a pure stock version too.
