Hello,
I'm new here so I don't know If I posting this in right section. If not, sorry.
I have a Nexus 4 with Slimkat 4.4.4 and franko kernel. I just received the notification to download the new version of android lollipop by google.
It's not an update by slimkat but by google.
Is it normal? How is it possible? If I do transfer, what would happen?
Hope you can help me.
Thank you!
Hi,
It is very unusual you would get the Ota notice while running a custom rom and kernel, but no... Don't try to install it. If it somehow did manage to install without an error, guaranteed you would be stuck at boot or in a Bootloop after.
You need to either flash stock 4.4.4 to get the ota, or just wait for Lollipop roms and flash them like any other rom.
Good luck!
Thank you
Thanks for your response! I'm a little noob at this things. I can't dismiss the notification for the installation.
How do you think I should go from slimkat 4.4.4 to stock+root+franco kernel 5.0? I did my change on roms a long time ago and I really don?t remeber how I did it and if there are a better way now. I read that is dificult to root on 5.0.
I really appreciate if you could help me. Anyway, thanks for the previous reply.
Best regards

Here is a return to stock guide,
> Google Nexus 4 > Nexus 4 General > [HOW-TO] How to flash a factory image / return to stock / unlock / root #
You won't have custom kernel or root. You need to be completely stock. Then you should be able to do the OTA. As far as rooting on Lollipop, you can try asking here, or reading some others posts...
> Google Nexus 4 > Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Browse through all the Lollipop threads on rooting. Hopefully you'll find answers. And any future questions on your device can be asked there too.
Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.

I can't find anything linking to a download for a flashable (over adb or twrp) 4.4.4. I'm trying to get back to stock from CandyKat 4.4.4 Rom, and trying to flash the 4.4.2 stock OTA that I found gives me an error saying I cant flash an older version over a newer version!

Thanks for understanding, thread closed.
Hello I am using a HTC M8(At&t) . It is Rooted and using AT&T stock HTC Sense ROM. When I receive an update that AT&T pushes it downloads completely, restarts into Clockworkmod Recovery and attempts to install. I wasn't able to capture all of what it says but from what I briefly read it didn't complete the instillation. AT&T pushed out a update that updates from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 and I am assuming that is what the update is for. If that is the case it definitely did not update due to my Android version still being 4.4.2. I want this update to install because it will fix issues that I am having( Snapchat, and other odd glitches) If anyone can shed some light on my current issue that would be great. Maybe there is a way to manually flash an update? Ill be looking around and see what I can find..
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,
I'm here today to SEEK HELP. I have bought a variant of Wiko Slide 2 aka Cloudfone Excite Prime here in the Philippines. I wanted to make my personal back for this device that is flashable via SPFlashTool. Or make ".img" files for short. I already know how to that on my previous devices but that was KK having 3.4.6 kernel. This is my first LOLLIPOP device that is why I needed some advice and help.
My questions are:
1. How will I know if my bootloader is locked?
2. Is it necissary to unlocK the bootloader so that I could make full back up?
3. Can I directly back up this via MTKDroidTools(the most convenient back up method I ever tried for MTK)? Since it is using different kernel.
4. How do I make custom recovery or CWM for Lollipop(kernel 3.10.x) based?
That would be all for now. Please help me I really don't know stuffs for Android L since it is different from older versions. Thank you :good:

Not being one that still tinkers with my phone these days. I have no idea where to go on the forums. So i could use some help in the right direction. Please.
I'm having issues with my phone, getting nowhere with verizon. So i'm looking to flash my phone with the latest stock rom. And google isn't helping. Preferably with the latest update i just received and is installing at this very moment. So i don't know what marshmallow version it is yet.
I"m looking for a post somewhere on the internet. That has the stock rom and instructions to install it. I don't want to try a hard reset with the issues i'm having. I want to do a full wipe and reload. I'm not looking for root or anything either. I just want the genuine stock rom.
Help would be appreciated. THANK YOU.

Greetings and welcome to xda. The rom you want to install is this one yes ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note/development/rom-nightowl-preview-t3455847
The rom will be pre rooted so you will only need to install your custom recovery and then flash the rom. Most of the users on xda are really friendly and helpful so do not be frightened of asking any questions in the the threads and the experts will help you (if they don't just threaten them with me haha). Anything you are unsure of just ask in here

I can not find alpha 6 but alpha 7 is nougat the other 2 night owl threads are mm and kk which I can link. Please note though it is only the operating system you are changing so your hardware will be the same but will have new feature
As long as you have installed the correct recovery you can back up your current rom and then try any of the 3 and return to your current rom safely. If you ask in this thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note/help
the experts there will be able to assist you better as they have your device
Good Luck
