Hey everybody,
about a month ago I went through all the pain of updating to Lollipop and then root it with all the cluttered info I found. I was confused and scared. I got drunk. I threw some weird stuff at the thing. It worked.
Still don't know why.
Well as much as I like getting drunk again to update to 5.0.1 - is it worth going through the trouble again? I can't even install the updates that the tablet downloads again and again all the time.
I have 5.0, rooted.
Thank guys.

It is not super complicated to do. I would upgrade - you can find instructions in various places (including XDA).
When updating to 5.0 I did a complete wipe - and then installed all apps by hand one by one. That took quite a while
When going 5.0 to 5.01 I just flashed 5.01 (the full package) via CWM and then reinstalled root.
Took me about 30 - 45 minutes.

Thanks for the quick reply.
After watching some videos about 5.0.1. it still leaves me scratching my head about why I would like to go through the pain again.
Having said that, do you have a link to the process? I actually haven't found a nice one here, but that's maybe only me. Any help appreciated and thanks again Gadgetguy.
I'd suggest checking out this topic, which is similar (identical?) to this one in subject. You might have missed it, since it's a question posted in a non-question area.

Hey community,
after updating my 5.0 LTE 32 Shield Tablet some month ago and rooting it, I came to the conclusion that I don't really need root, but would like to continue receiving OTAs and have a device that just works.
Prio1:
Have a tablet with the latest updates installed.
Prio2:
As 1, but rooted.
I have made a apps+sysapps backup with Titanium.
What do you recommend as the next step?
Thank you very much.
All the best, Esshahn
Some additions:
1. I noticed I'm actually having 5.0 on my Shield. It's the 5.0.1 update plus the nVidia stuff that comes up all the time in the notification center.
I really just want to undo all root and whatnot actions and have a right out of the box experience on my Shield. I already did some stupid stuff (factory reset) and therefore lost my personal data anyway, so there's nothing to lose.
I noticed this forum isn't really active. If anyone doesn't know the answer, but could point me to the right forum for help that would be nice too.
Thank you
flash the full OTA through recovery: https://forums.geforce.com/default/...hread-released-2-17-15-/post/4464815/#4464815
then reinstall supersu through recovery, no factory reset needed
Thank you for replying.
I got annoyed by it all yesterday and flashed 2.1, now I don't have root or custom recovery anymore.
Now the fun part: When I want to update to 2.2 normally (since it's now supposed to be a standard device without any hacks), it just shows the error robot.
So now I'm stuck with 2.1 and can't move left or right.
After reading all those comments about messed up colors in 2.2 I'm wondering if its actually worth the effort to update?
Any idea on that Bogdacutu?
Thanks,
Esshahn

you can flash the full OTA through TWRP or CWM, no idea why it won't work with stock recovery though
the update supposedly fixes the graphics glitches that appear in various apps on update 2.1, that might be a good reason to update
Thank you!
Actually, since I didn't have CWM installed anymore, I just sideloaded the latest OTA, which worked nice.
Just saw this:
http://phandroid.com/2015/05/18/note-pro-12-2-lollipop/
I was planning on giving it a try. I don't have any files I need to save on the tablet.
I rooted the tablet recently and am running a rooted stock 4.4.2 ROM. I have titanium backup on there with a lot of stuff frozen, and xposed frame work.
I realizing flashing this lollipop ROM will unroot my tablet, but I'm wondering if I should do some kind of full wipe/dalvik clearing etc? Is there any other steps I need to take before installing a non rooted ROM on an already-rooted device?
I'm running the stock recovery at this time (but could flash something else if recommended.)
i checked out the link. it seems like the update is only for the LTE version (p905), unless im seeing it incorrectly, i wouldnt mind losing root whilst trying the new update
crap... you're right, the article itself refers to the "wifi only" version multiple times, but then the file is for the LTE... what a bummer. Erroneous article. Thanks for pointing it out before I flashed it.
Good catch !
Good catch there, I must admit I got quite excited seeing that lollipop was ready for the Note Pro 12.2!!!. I too have the WiFi version of the NotePRO 12.2'' P-900, and am chomping at the bit for Lollipop, more-so than for my main use phone (Note 3 SM-N9005).
I'm still on the stock firmware, enjoying the tablet as-is, but struggling to find many Apps where the UI has been crafted / coded / mod'd / re-written etc, with a tablet in mind!!
I've been patient to-date re: Lollpop, but will subscribe to this forum thread in case of news . Are there other sources I can / should be subscribed to, that you would suggest? .
Thank you, and cheers... :silly:

Just keep an eye on Sammobile. They're the ones with the firmware and the news. (The original article is from Sammobile.)

Could you help me out? I have a Note 12.2 that I tried to root when I first got it a year ago. It tripped Knox but still did not get root. I would love to get to where you're at: KK 4.4.2 with TiBu, xposed, etc. Can you point me to some instructions that work?

Sorry for the late reply! If I remember correctly, I used the "near stock untouched" version found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t/rom-original-stock-debloated-stock-t2860069
But I forget! I do know that I have the stock recovery. I rooted/Flashed ROM with ODIN. But didn't install custom Recovery.
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 have to unroot before doing update .. Or wait for flashable zip of updated rom
Sent from my falcon using Tapatalk
Ok, how do I find if there is flashable zip of updated rom? will I lose my files? I have backed them up in titanium anyway
i tried to update my firmware, and now the phone goes to recovery. when i try to start the phone normally, it works for maybe 30 seconds and then restarts back to recovery. Please help anyone, need this urgently sorted!!
Hey guys,
So I went from B145>B148 and now I'm stuck. Can't root or go >B304>B312>B327...what I'm saying is, I'd rather go back to B145. I was very much fine with that version (rooted w/ KingUser then removed and installed w/ SuperSu). Everything else fine. Just wanted to see if there was any difference on B148, not too excited to go LP.
Any ideas how to go back down B145??
thanks!! :good::good:
Anything, anyone?
Downgrade firmware? Something?
Solved!
Alright, so with only a bunch of page views and no real help from anyone here on the forum...I was able to finally figure everything out on my own.
I was originally at C00B145 (and rooted, loved it), got curious with everyone talking bout the many other upgrades so >C00B148 (lost root, hated it. Stuck on firmware, couldn't root and for some reason could't go further), probably just me. Decided and risked on V100R001C900B308 rollback (success) but stuck again on temp transition, couldn't go anywhere. Failed on B137, B137SP03, B141, B145, and B148.
Solved: Re-flashed V100R001C900B308>C900B300 (rollback)>MT7-L09C900B324, backup recovery, system restore>kingroot, then installed SuperSU (deleting kingroot).
Rooted MT7-L09C900B324 5.1. Now, the only thing I'm missing so far is the Motion Control, which I only deal with the slider (not a big deal to me). I really like the double-window, knuckle/screenshot, and the few other interesting new features. Lots of ppl saying they don't have 4g available, but mine's fine...can switch between 3G/4G.
I did use two different region's firmware for the solve. No lags, and actually has good fluid response. Gonna keep on 5.1 for at least a week and see what's good on battery life, response and features...if I like it'll stay, otherwise I had no problem on B145 and might just go back down to KK.
Cheers!

I have been on a plain rooted 4.1.2 rom for years. I now need to update for a couple apps I use to work. Can someone give me some brief feedback and point me in the right direction so I can update my phone without locking the bootloader?
I like the plain set up I have now, so maybe I just need to update to the highest version without locking BL. Thanks.
I thought about trying this---> File: cm-10.1-20130315-NIGHTLY-d2vzw.zip, but all links that I've found are dead. Anyone know where I might find this file? Thanks
CM is dead. The leftovers rose from the ashes as Lineage OS.
Look them up. Pretty stable.
Jump straight into Marshmallow or Nougat. I'm still on CM12.1 Lollipop, but the newer stuff should work fine. There are threads for all of it, so do good reading before you start.
Thanks for answering my thread. I haven't messed around with my phone in years. I guess what you're saying is since I've never took the OTA 4.3, I can load an advanced CM without locking my bootloader.
phonetool....thanks for the input. I tried Nougat but I had issues with my 3G data and a couple other little things.
I decided to go with 12.1 Lollypop and it is great. All my apps work and 3G fires right up.
