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
If that phone is S-off use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...zip-ruu-m8vzw-5-0-1-s-off-onlynewest-t3047103
Sounds like a bonestock rom @andybones

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.

Give @andybones a little time and he might just hook you up with a new bonestock

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.

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!

This is not necessary; somebody will almost certainly post a zip of it here you can flash.

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
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'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.

Oh ok,thanks. Anyway to go back stock or should i leave well enough alone?

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
I've been looking around, but I can't find anything to suggest root is available on the stock kernel. Does anyone know if there is? CF-Autoroot doesn't work for 6.0, and so far all I've found is root for custom kernels but I want all stock.
try this

Thanks for the link, I already looked there and they said "This is a stock kernel which provides root access along with some tweaks". It has tweaks in it, so to me that's modified which isn't stock IMO. Sorry I'm just a fussy person, I've tried custom ROMs and the rest before, but they tend to just screw stuff up for me, even the highly favorable CyanogenMod ROMs, they used to make my phone a furnace at idle! So I like the clean (almost) bug-free, vanilla stock experience on my daily driver device.

You could try Chainfire's modded boot image alone (i.e. without another custom kernel).
Perhaps it more "stock" than others. I just followed his instructions (flashed the boot.img and flashed the beta SuperSU zip in TWRP) and I appear to have root on stock Marshmallow.

I'd say, just flash the boot.img from the factory image.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If you rooted before, you'll lose root...

I'd recommend the same thing, and agreed, if you rooted using the method linked in this thread earlier, you definitely will lose root!
I'm on a CM13 based ROM and I hear you can't downgrade from it. So my stock lollipop backups are useless now, is that correct ?

CM 13 is android M based. You can freely try flashing other android M based ROMs without gong back to stock.

I see no reason why your backup would not work. You cannot trust everything people say on XDA.
