You're running Optipop, a custom rom, and Uber, a custom kernel. You're going to have to update manually. You're not tied to that rom/kernel but it's a good combo.

Thanks how do i update manually? Sorry for all the questions

You can`t if you have have a custom rom, recovery, kernel and changed the system. You have to be full stock and made no alteration in any way to the system.

You can always flash the full 5.0.1 factory image, but if you`re happy with your current rom just leave it as it is mate

Currently running miui with matrix kernel and I'm looking into flashing a stock gingerbread ROM to receive ics when it is released. I've flashed customs ROMs before but have never gone back to stock. How do I go about doing this? Will I need to reroot my phone? And will I be able to flash a kernel on the stock ROM? Thanks

I wouldn't worry about it. Someone kind will post it here in a zip file soon after release i would imagine!

If someone makes one, sure.
sorry for abusing you thread, mokflurry, but i also have a question regarding requirements for the upcoming ota-update.
i am running stock rom, rooted, with cwm and custom kernel.
regarding the recovery, i already read, that this shouldn't be a problem. can anybody confirm that?
and what about the kernel? will i have to return to complete stock for ota?
thanks in advance!

You can be rooted with another recovery, But need stock rom and kernel.
Until and unless you believe that you will be the first one to get the OTA, you need not worry about the OTA. It will be up on XDA as soon as OTA is rolled and you be flashing it even before the OTA is actually is pushed to you
Hello all,
A lurker's first post here.
As the thread title states, HTC has supposedly started pushing Sense 6 to the HTC One Mini in UK (assuming it is also pushing to other countries too). Has anyone have this installed? How does it compare to Sense 6 port ROMs such as InsertCoin?
Currently a Insertcoin user myself, I may backup my ROM and test out HTC's official Sense 6 and provide some user feedback.
Cheers!

Is this the update file that is downloaded prior to install? If so I can help with that, though I may be doing this tomorrow as have some plans today.
Do I flash the stock KK ROM then get the update file? Could possibly do this while watching the Italy/CR game.
Being a IC user, I'll gladly help in any way as thanks to all your work!
Edit - Actually, is it even possible to still receive HTC updates even if i flashed stock again?

Yes once its downloaded, dont reboot but find where the OTA.zip is and upload it and share here on XDA so us devs can use it... and you'd most likely have to flash a stock odex KK rom.... but once the download is finished dont install just share and within a few days i can release a fully working sense 6 IC rom updated with the latest tweaks.... if you can somehow get it today ill be very greatful and will push for a quick release just for you helping me.

It would seem i need to be on hboot 2.19 in order to flash the stock rom on the old partition layout..I really dont feel like subjecting myself through hboot and formatting again when I messed up the phone few weeks ago.
If anyone's on hboot 2.19 and on 4.4.2 stock, please could you provide the OTA.zip for miniwhooper!

Do you know how to edit update scripts? If not upload stocks and I'll edit it and then all you have to do is replace it and flash the rom , can't have superCID though you must revert it back to original too

I didnt know I had downloaded Triggers 4.4.2 stock rooted ROM for the new partition layout, how do I edit the CID again? I should really keep a note of all the edits I do, currently on supercid.
Once I change the CID I can attempt for the OTA file.
EDIT: NVM I found out about changing cid, this is the file I got from the software update:
OTA_M4_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_3.10.401.6-3.10.401.4_release_356961.zip
Doesnt seem to be sense 6...
Let me update and see what happens.
edit 2: tried installing the update file but gave an error on the recovery/installing screen then it rebooted saying system is modified so please revert..
Is this due to being s off? rooted? Any suggestions?
Just checked for updates on my generic UK One Mini, no update to Sense 6, still on 5.5
I'm guessing that since miniwhooper posted saying she is releasing a stock rom tonight that she has a copy of an update file?

I think for official updates you may need the stock recovery? Otherwise the OS will find that your phone software has been modified.

I don't think which version matters, think there is only 2-3 to select from anyways, I hope you don't receive the 'system is modified' message like I did as that will prevent receiving official updates.

Hi,
ATM I'm running KK4.4.2+Cataclysm. My question is, can I update safely or I need to do something?
Thanks
Update safely? Cataclysm didn't have an update to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4. You'll need to start from a different ROM or start from stock if you want to update.
Seeing a stupid comment on Google Play about an app you love and marking it as "spam". You've done it too.
Cataclysm is gone. You need a new rom. You'll like purity if you like Cataclysm

It really depends what you mean by "update"
If you mean "can I install the OTA?" then no. If you mean "Can I install a 4.4.4 full ROM?" then yes.

No need to sulk. Dirty flash Vomer's stock rooted 4.4.4 rom and see if everything works. If it doesn't only then do a clean wipe. Same goes for Purity if you want to try that out

Update the entire ROM. OTA is designed to patch existng system files in your rom 9adding new code to existing code), but you're using a modified rom so this code will cause problems and lead to an unstable device.
Just go into recovery and flash the rooted stock rom which you can find in the resources section in my signature. If you want a rom with more functionality than stock, just find one in the dev sections and do the same.

you will never be able to accept and install an OTA with a custom rom. this using roms 101 stuff.

Anyone have a link of a Verizon lollipop OTA update for the M8 that is rooted? It is for the wife's phone and she does not feel comfortable using a custom rom. It seemed like rooted 4.4.4 OTA came out pretty quick for the M8 last time but I have not been able to find lollipop yet.
Thank you

Yes that is the ROM that we used and was able to just update the phone without having to do a full wipe of her phone. I was hoping to find a lollipop update just like the one he did. I wish she would use a custom ROM as it would be so much easier bit I can not talk her into it.

i changed bonestock over to "fluent rom" now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...rom-fluent-rom-v1-0-rls1-4-16-1540-8-t3007173
@jpennin217 You do realize you have to flash the LP firmware before you can flash any LP-rom, right?
After that, just flash whatever you like and tell her that's what stock Lollipop looks like :cyclops:
Upgrading to LP you will at least have to wipe cache, Dalvik and data requiring you to install all your apps again.
Use HTC Backup to save apps and their data, access points etc - but that's never perfect. To some extent you will have to start fresh. This is more than a simple same version upgrade.

Hi everyone,
I know I am going to sound very annoying but I have googled various threads for hours and I still have not come close to an answer, so please be easy on me. I am a total noob!
So basically, Long story short, I bought this Moto G 2015 (4th Gen - Xt1072 the 5inch screen one) earlier this year, and it has been very slow ever since! So now, I am getting notifications that I cant update to 5.1!
The issue is, my phone is rooted, and I would like it to remain rooted! So, I am assuming i will not be able to install the update file.
The real question I have is, how do I go about this? How do i update to 5.1 (22.46.12.en.GB) without losing my root? I am happy with backing it all up on Titanium, and then updating but I don't know how to do it. Do I have to download the new android on my laptop and then re-install it or something? All this technical talk is literally racking my brain!
I know the solution is probably simple so I would really appreciate if someone can give me a simple answer!
Thanks so much

U can flash cm12.1 or can update your device then just root it back.
I doubt its a fourth gen, when the latest is 3rd.
Why can't you unroot, update, then reroot?

You can follow this link for a tool to restore back to stock firmware. This will wipe your phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...dows-tool-moto-g-2015-xt1072-restore-t3124915
Then update after that and root again.
I don't know much about removing root, I would look up how you did it then search for removing it. What did you use? Supersu?
