To be able to flash into a Kitkat Stock-based ROM or KatKiss 5.0.1? I need to stick with stock based so my flashed touch firmware will stay.
If someone could link me to the proper tutorials/guides that would be great.

In order to use the new KitKat ROMs, you actually have to upgrade to the latest stock firmware (JB 4.2). The new TWRP and ROMs require the newer bootloader. I'm not that familiar with the touch firmware and how that works, but I'm not sure if that is upgradable too?
First OTA to 4.2, then install any recovery (see Question and answer section) and then flash ROM.

MAKE SURE YOU FLASH THE CORRECT RECOVERY VERSION CORRESPONDING TO THE 4.1.1 BOOTLOADER.
Sorry to all caps, but so many people have been bricking because they ignored that.
Will it be possible to bring it back to 4.2.1 stock rom?

Yes, I have been between 4.1 and 4.2 and back five times without a problem. You need to use stock rom to downgrade from 4.2 or at least that is my experience.
Downgrading you will loose apps and data. Upgrading you don't loose anything.
Hi!
I need some help with understanding of flashing custom roms e.t.c.
If I have 4.3 ( latest official update ), is it possible that I upgrade to CM11 4.4? Or I just can flash roms wich are based on 4.3?
Dont get it!
Thank you for responding!

whatever version of android your phone started with you are able to flash any of those roms, but you gotta be careful if your phone was at gingerbread and was updated to jelly bean, they had bootloader changes and will soft brick if you try to downgrade like that, its not for all phones but some and you should still ask.
My dad has a Droid Razr Maxx HD and I currently have the bootloader unlocked and a custom Recovery and Rom on there.
He keeps having problems with whatever ROM I put on (forgot by now) and I'd like to put him back to stock or a ROM that based on stock system.
What version of Android is stock on now? I read that they will be rolling out a 4.4 upgrade sometime soon.
Any advice on which ROM to use or how to restore to stock?
Thanks

You should use RSD Lite and go back to this version: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=5&file=75

Ah, that's a useful site. Thanks.
If you had to choose a 4.4.2 ROM, which would you choose?
Also, what version of RSDLite?

I am partial to CyanogenMod myself. I think CM 11 is at a point now you could use it daily. They have an "M" build out there for it currently which they consider as stable as can be at the time and they allow bug reports on it.
One thing to take into consideration about these roms is they are all using the drivers from the 4.1.2 build thats official for the phone. All of them are waiting on the 4.4.2 update being released to have current Android 4.4 drivers tested to work for the device.
In a nutshell expect some sort of buggyness on roms but especially with custom roms on devices that are using old 4.1 based drivers.
Thanks again. I'll stick with Stock for my dad. I told him to get the HTC One M8 since he can't get the Nexus 5 for Verizon.
He'll be happy soon enough!
Hi guys, I'm searching for a stock 4.4.4 rom or a closer to stock one, can you provide me with a link if its available?
And if not, can I flash a custom rom like BinDroid and remove some of the customization??
thanks a lot

The phone hasn't been updated to 4.4.4 and will not be. The closest you can get not is the stock 4.4.2 which the phone already runs. Or wait for the Lollipop update.
okay and what about removing the themes and costomizations from BinDroid ROM?

I'm really not sure about the process as I'm sticking to being unrooted for the time being. You should rather ask the developer of the BinDroid ROM about your queries regarding his ROM. I'm pretty sure he'll help you out.
And yes, I suppose you can root the device without flashing custom ROM.

yes you can.
I just want to get this straight before I do anything rash. In order to install a custom rom ie MOAR on my sm-900p if the rom says 5.0.2 does my android version have to be the same or can it be 5.0 and still work without bricking? Along these same lines, is it possible to downgrade to 4.4.4 via the stock room and will there be any issues? I have also read about leaked stuff like I am running 5.0 and if I wanted to somehow get a leaked 5.0.2 rom how does this work?
Thanks in advance.

If you want to install MOAR, check the MOAR FAQ and it should answer all you questions. Post#2 is a step by step on installing. Recommend you stay away from leaked versions until you're more comfortable about how to get out of a problem. MOAR 6.0 is based on the official Lollipop release. If you have any MOAR questions after you've read the instructions, feel free to post on that thread.

Ty for the response, but, I already realize that there is a rom for 5.0 it was just an example. I really wanted to know about the android versions and if they have to be the same ie can I flash a rom that is for 5.0.2 even though my android version is 5.0?

Yes you can. You can also go back to 4.4.x but it requires flashing firmware back for Kitkat.
