Hi there, how you doing friends? I hope fine.
Well I'm new in this so I'll try not sounds like I'm dumb. Well, last week I rooted my device an Sony Xperia Z2, I was using android 5.1.1 the last version I could update via OTA, well to make the "root" I had to downgrade to kit kat 4.4.2 or something like that, but the sameway my device was rooted I keep receiving updates via OTA, and now I'm currently using Lollipop 5.0.2 and it's still rooted and I loved, my doubt is: The update via OTA appeared again to version 5.1.1 the version I had before I did all that process, if I update from 5.0.2 rooted (my actually version) to 5.1.1 my phone will be "unrooted"?
Thanks and sorry my bad English.

According to me , it shouldnt loss root access but im not 100% sure to be frank....
And in case u take the risk and it does loss root access i think so u can use kingroot to root ur phone back again.

I'm using an Stock Rom, but If I update it and lose my root access, I'll have to downgrade to Kit-Kat again, remake the root and then upgrade to 5.0.2 again, cause i can't find a rom 5.0.2 for my Device, not even here on XDA, i only found kit-kat :/
So, I rather wait till is possible to make root on 5.1.1. but thanks anyway.
Hi!
Here's a thread that should help in your device section,

Hi Guys, I have read some topics about downgrading, but im not fully understanding if this is only for people who is already rooted or if this will work for a non rooted device. In my case i have an At&t Lg G2 not rooted with 4.4.2 kitkat and wanted to revert to 4.2 so i can root and then flash a rooted stock 4.4.2 kitkat. Is it possible to do that, even if i was never rooted? I do understand there's no root for kitkat as of now.
Thanks guys.
Well since we use the lg flash tool I don't think it should be an issue so go ahead the last time I went back to stock was when the kk rom with root and recovery came out so I'm sure you should be able to

Yes you can flash back to 4.2 with Flash Tool. If you root 4.2 and then take the AT&T update to kitkat you will keep root. This is what I did.
How about a D802? its on the official vodafone kitkat rom, with the upgraded bootloader. Loki does not work on kitkat. Is it still downgradeable to any version of jelly bean?

I did it myself earlier due to bluetooth battery drain on kitkat. Just go to the thread Return to Stock LG G2 and follow the instructions listed. You'll have to download the tot file (ROM), the flash tools and flash dll. Just follow those instructions to the letter and you'll be on 4.2.2 in no time.

Alright thanks. I just wanted to know if there were problems with the bootloader as I also have an at&t s4, which prevents the bootloader from being downgraded and bricks the device if its done.

Hello everyone,
Since there is still no proper root and recovery for the M2 on KitKat, would someone who has upgraded from JB to KitKat be able to write their experience with KitKat so far? Are there enough KitKat advantages over JB 4.3 in order to upgrade while losing root? Is it maybe better to wait until a proper root and recovery is available?
Thanks and all best.
I have root with kitkat! It is much more better than JB!

how did you get root ,is your bootloader unlocked.i have root without it unlocked .this is weird i got a update telling me to update so i did it and now i have a d2306.which is not my model ,my model is d2303 .and still have root without bootloader unlocked .
According to the AOSP sources, KitKat finally fixes the A2DP bitpool being way too low (320kbps vs 229 on 4.3 and below), so if you want to use a BT headset, it's worth considering. On the other hand apps lose the right to write to SD card with KitKat, which you cannot fix without root, and root seems to be impossible with a locked bootloader.
yes it can be done .root can be done on kitkat .i had jb 4.3 uk,then i had kk rusian ,then decided to falsh back to 4.3 but i flashed wrong country and had brazil jb4.3 then used toewlroot then superuser then whent to about and checked for updates and got the brazil kk update,i was thinking it was uk ,so i let it run and when finished i had d2306,insead of d2303 which is my model and have still got root just need a cwm recovery and am ready to backup all .my story .
Is the camera really better on kitkat?
Please Share d2303 4.4.2 root

You can try install D2305 kernel with CWM, install ZIP package with root and then install stock original kernel.
It may not work.

I tried with CWM -> 2302, but after flash lack of access to the system r / w.
I think I'll wait until someone finally do the appropriate CWM and kernel for 2303
Please don't stray from the original topic. This was meant to discuss and compare JB 4.3 to KitKat 4.4.2. Not taking root into consideration, what are are the main advantages of KitKat 4.4.2 vs JB 4.3? Mostly concerning performance, RAM/CPU management, battery? Still thinking if I should upgrade, as I am very satisfied with the performance of a rooted/xposed JB 4.3 at the moment. Thanks for any input on making a decision.
Hi iam disappointed from 4.4.2 on my m2. Moved app to sd lost from home screen after restart and there is also problem with sound sync in games like death trigger 2 and others. For me was better 4.3 even without any changes

I see that 4.4 has better memory management. Battery is abt the same for me (=good). Functionally there is not too much difference. The transparent adaptable notification and navigation area are a joke.
Consider staying with 4.3 rooted / debloated, instead of 4.4 heavily bloated and no root.
Proper root can be done. You can follow the steps in the tutorial written by Naufai Sidik.

Thank you all for your input. I think I am going to stick with JB 4.3 for the moment, at least untill proper root/recovery is available for KitKat. I am not a big fan of the rooting process as it stands this moment.
Hi people i have some questions about Rooting and unlocking the bootloader of the moto g (1st Gen) is my first phone that's need to unlocking to root and flash rom's,let's go:

2..if I do root and unlock the bootloader in my current KitKat i will be able to upgrade to the lollipop?
3.Lollipop already have root? it supports the MultiROM?
4.if I root now be able to upgrade to the lollipop and then root again? but if there is an update after 5.0 will be able to use it (ex:5.1 minor fixes) with root?
Sorry for many questions

1. Unlocking the boot loader will wipe everything...yes... You need to take backup of everything before unlocking..
2. You need to flash custom recovery to root your phone... My sugesstion is don't flash anything as of now or root.
If you root your phone, you will get ota,but you can't install it... So once you installed lollipop,you root it..
3. Lollipop will support multirom..wait for some dev to develop it..
4. Rooting is easy.. There are plenty of guides there for rooting.. Wait for few days to get lollipop and root it..

5... You can't install any official update if you root it.. But you can flash the update if any one created a flashable zip

i was thinking using lg tool to reflash stock firmware then force OTA then root using one click from lg3 general section but if there is a quicker more effective way, please let me know.

You can only OTA with the D850 if you have an active AT&T sim in it. Otherwise there's no other way, besides just flashing a custom stock rom.

Yes i have active att sim
some follow up questions, hoping folks here can chime in with their experience/knowledge
1- is there any 5.0.1 stock ATT firmware that i can download and flash using LG tool utility?
2- if i reflash with 4.2.2 stock ATT firmware using the LG tool utility then OTA to the latest FW and rooted; am i stuck with 5.0.1?
3- can i fully unroot the phone afterward? If yes how? By reflashing 4.2.2 or some other method?
4- should i forget about flashing back to stock 4.2.2 and install TWRP then flash 5.0.1 ROM? What would be the benefits of doing this over flashing back to 4.2.2, OTA to 5.0.2 then root?
Thanks

Are you also saying that every now and then you're reflashing 4.2.2 FW from 5.0.1 or whatever ROM that you're on?

Hi guys, i wanted to have my phone on lastest Lp stock rom. so i went got a att go phone sim. up on puting att sim my phone got ota update of 85021d and updated smoothly. about 1 hour later 85021q ota updated was pushed to my phone, again installed smoothly. Now I'm waiting for the 85021r update but it's not coming through.. it's been about 13 hours since 85021q ota update . Is there anyway I can force push 85021r ota update to my phone??....Nevermind found the way.
For AT&T, the only official way to upgrade the ROM is to use LG tool to flash unrooted KK ROM, then OTA. Or you can just flash a custom L ROM based on stock.

Hey xda members,
I have H60-L04 with ROM build number H60-L04C900B521. I've read that Android 6 is released and of course before it some more updated builds of 5.1.1 ROMs. So my first couple of questions would be
What is the latest stable Marshmallow stock ROM released ? The one with no issues like battery drain and so.
What is the latest stable Android 5.1.1 stock ROM released ?
I kept my eyes on too many topics but I couldn't know if the ROMs are for my phone, latest, stable..etc or NOT. So forgive me if it's already answered, I'm not such expert.
Last question, is this one
Motion Control options going blank after factory reset. Is there anyway to fix this AFTER being gone or BEFORE the factory reset ? Luckly I have twrp backup so I rolled back to it and all was good but I can't seem to do factory reset because of this effect !

The latest firmware I was able to find was this.
Can't find a Marshmallow, sorry.
Thank you for replying. Updates from huawei are too slow. I guess I wont expect nougats any time soon, maybe ever !
You can get MM ROM here
It's the B820 build and there's also a B860 OTA update I think

Try wiping only system partition and restoring system partition of your TWRP backup. Might fix your settings > motion problem
hohoho..!! Nougat is still far away buddy, I think your device has Marshmallow as the latest version no?
Yup, is far a lot for now :/
I think MM is the last update for the Honor 6.
Latest update is 820 via Update and 860 via OTA.
Yeah latest is MM and not even via OTA. Anyway, thx for reply guys. @goldfinv I did exactly that and all fixed. Thank you.
