I'm rooting and running Dirty Unicorn 4.4.4 ROM.
If I flash a ROM that's using Android 5.0 and use it for a while can I then just flash a ROM using 4.4.4 and not have any issues? I guess i'm asking if it's possible to just flash any working ROM running on either 4.4.4 or 5.0 (swapping between them) and it work?
You'll need to wipe going between 4.4 and 5.0 custom ROM. Once you've set up new ROM once, and have Nandroid backups of both, you can go back and forth

I just recently rooted, flashed recovery, made it brickproof with nvflash and put my first rom(cromi x) on my tf300t.(woohoo) Im on 4.2 jelly bean and was wondering (1)can I flash 4.4 roms straight from 4.2 or do I have to offical update then do everything over again? (2) If I flash a 4.4 rom and did not like go back by a simple flash of a 4.2 rom?
My dad's phone has a custom recovery and has a ROM of the version of KitKat before the OTA. Have ROMs been updated to support the official release yet? How do I know which ones are on the new or old drivers? Would it simply be to flash the ROM through the recovery, or do I have to go back and install the OTA, then flash a new recovery and ROM?
Thanks.
Hi everyone
I have a nexus 5 running on stock rom (5.0.1) & I want to install the latest nightly CM12 ROM.
I just wanna know if, after that, I'll be able to restore my apps & data from a backup I already did with TWRP custom recovery?
Thanks
It should work as far as I know. You just have to restore the data partition
I am currently on EuphoriaOS May 3 with TWRP 2.8.6.0 and want to revert back to Final Mahdi 4.4.4. What is the procedure to do this?
Your going to need to flash the KitKat firmware before flashing the ROM. You can flash the last cyanogenmod snapshot CM11 build. It has the firmware built in. Then wipe again and flash mahdi/4.4.4 gapps. You can find those on android file host.
so i got my mate7 over a year ago and right from the start i installed cm11. i only had the stock rom for a week. its been so long that i forgot this phone has a fingerprint scanner. i have decided to flash the latest huawei rom and then shortly after flash KangVIP. the problem is that i dont know where to begin.
im currently running CM11 from this thread. i installed TWRP using acbka's tool (thanks!). so, where do i go from here? im guessing i go to stock recovery and then do a serious of stock firmware upgrades. the problem is i dont know which ones.
my phone model is an MT7-L09 (im in the US if that matters). im hoping i can get LP installed before the spring semester. any and all help is appreciated. thanks and happy new year.
For coming back to huawei stock rom from CM11 I usually:
(Wipe /data and /system from recovery)
Flash from recovery this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/development/rom-erykinemt7-v1-0-0-mt7-l09-b137sp03-t3044695 or any kitkat rom that comes with flashable zip
Flash the stock kitkat recovery (Option 1 from acbka's tools)
Flash a stock kitkat rom (this for example --- I didn't try flashing Lollipop stock rom here, you can just try it or install kitkat stock then lollipop stock) using huawei update tool (you have to put the stock rom in /dload folder, then go to settings, update and start a local update). It's important that you have flashed the stock recovery in the previous step because a non-official recovery won't let you install huawei software.
Now you can receive OTA updates
(I use cwm recovery but I think that it's just the same with twrp)
