So I just updated from basically 4.4 to 5.1.1. I was on cyanogem mod.
I updated using official zips with TWRP flashing super su each time. This kept the initial boot from installing stock recovery, so I'm unsure if it updated the radio/firmware.
What is the current and how do you check your firmware/radio version?
Thanks!

I have a rooted and unlocked RAZR HD running CM11, and I'm having trouble installing updates. The update manager will
FInd new updates (snapshots and nightlies)
Download updates
Reboot into recovery
Try to install the update
before failing. TWRP says that the update file needs a 4.4 bootloader, so I presume that my version of TWRP is out of date. Is there a 4.4 bootloader for the RAZR HD, and if so how can I install it over TWRP?
Thanks in advance,
John

you can flash the kitkat stock rom, not the latest using rsd light, root and flash the recovery again. you must be unlocked im assuming so it will be safe for you.
Hi there,
yesterday I updated my XT925 Stock 4.1.2 to the 4.4.2 update. That worked great but removed root.
I then opened the bootloader, flashed TWRP, flashed SuperSU and installed SlimKat.
It's OK, but I really would like to get the stock ROM back, I'm missing many features.
Unfortunately the Recovery-Backup didn't survive the process
Can I flash the 4.1.2 stock-ROM although I got the new bootloader by updating to 4.4.2 in the first time?
Where can I get the 4.2.1-ROM?
9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQUL-1601_USERSIGNED_S7_USAVANQUO2DE02C.0R_LSAVNQJBO2DE_P014_A004_CFC.xml.zip

sbf.droid-developers.com seems offline and I can't find any mirror.
Or is there a KitKat-Stock-ROM out there? Can I install a canadian/... Firmware instead?
Thank you very much in advance!
I got it!
I'm back to the nice updated stock ROM and I also have root access.
Here's what I did:
Flashed the stock ROM via RSDLite (with the three lines getvar, tz and partition deleted from the xml).
(Rooted it via Motochopper to test some things, but it will be unrooted anyway by the following update)
Did the update to stock ROM 4.4.2 (no root anymore).
Since my bootloader is open I then flashed TWRP via Fastboot.
Then I installed SuperSU via TWRP and gained root again.
I've never had issues barging into a development community and going out to the horizon of customization until this cellphone. It's been 12 hours of flashing and downloading and flushing and flashing...
I have S-off and unlocked through SunShine
I use the 0P6BIMG.zip to flash RUU back to the stock verizon rom android 4.4.2
I use 3.28.605.4-firmware.zip from the same RUU thread to update the firmware (???)
I want to install CM12 or liquidsmooth ROM, but I'm getting a hunch at this point I need to start with the stock verizon 5.0.1 installed before that because TWRP wants to patch the system file... But then why am I wiping my system before installing?
I also tried flashing FluentRom_v7.5.zip but I got stuck on the HTC initial screen, I don't even make it over to a boot animation.
What do?

I'm prettly sure you're on an older firmware. You need to be on 5.01 to flash the ROMs you have tried to flash. Use the pre-rooted RUU from this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...zw-m8-master-ruu-firmware-collection-t2946473
Also make sure you have the latest version of TWRP.
Edit: The firmware you flashed was 4.4.4

Thanks for the link that thread and your advice was exactly what I needed.
For whatever reason after using the app/exe to flash 5.0.1 stock-rooted, Liquid Rom failed to install in TWRP. I reflashed the stock-rooted rom and CM-12.1 worked flawlessly. So I'm on CM right now :good: but I'll take another look into Liquid rom. Thanks so much!
Since you like AOSP, I recommend visiting the main m8 thread some other Roms. They are unified builds.
Hey everyone,
So for the past couple of days I've been getting the notification that 5.1.1 has been downloaded and is ready to install, but I'm running a rooted stock ROM with CWM and ElementalX kernel, so I wasn't sure what would happen if I accepted the update. So my question to you all is just that; what will happen if I OTA update? I would imagine I'll lose root access and have to re-root, but would the OTA also flash a stock kernel and get rid of CWM? Or will the update create a load of problems since I'm not completely stock?
Thanks in advance for your help.
The OTA update will fail.
As of Lollipop, you have to have everything completely stock (including the recovery) to take an OTA update. You're better off just flashing another pre-rooted ROM or custom ROM which has been updated to 5.1.1.

Hey,
i have a rooted opo and want to update with OTA.
But it just gets me into the TWRP Recovery and doesnt proceed.
I have Version:
cynogen os
12.1..1- Y0G8DAS2K1
5.1.1
what would be the easiest version?
You can't ota with modified system and you need stock recovery, quickest way would be to backup, flash the latest cyan build, otherwise unroot, flash stock recovery and try ota again.
Where can i get the newest cyan? Searched a bit but i could only find a non flashable rom.
Full wipe is ok for me.
You can get the latest version here https://cyngn.com/support you have to flash it via fastboot then reinstall TWRP and also will have to install SuperSU for root again.
