Thanks for your reply. Anything i need to know before installing the kitkat RUU? This is the first time i'm using an htc phone and i dont know much about it sorry. I was used to flash samsung roms but htc seems to be quite different. And by the way my phone is rooted. Should i unroot first?
Some more précisions about my phone. It is the htc d820u. And some people told me its the indian version. Will it still be ok?

Did you ever modify other files on your phone? Like modify sd card card permissions ect. I think i read somewhere that if your system files are modified you wont be able to update.

Warning!!!
Locked boot-loader, once you flash this update you cant downgrade (at Present)
Rom has no knox counter ( warranty Bit) or binary counter.
Rom used to downgrades was T310XXUAMF1_T310OXXAMF1_HOME.tar
Another safe way of trying this rom without fear, is flashing it with mobile odin,mobile odin does not flash boot-loaders so you are safe to downgrade etc.
you may find that you WiFi does not work when rom flashed with mobile odin, that means that the older boot loader is not compatible with the new rom.
Update 1
Once You flash the rom the device will reboot several times, because my previous rom was customized i had to perform a hard reset.
this rom has some kind of KNOX according to superuser
The rom also adds a new entry to download mode AP SWREV: A1
How to root?
download Cf-auto-root from here and flash it via odin then go to google play and install superuser from chainfire, launch it and update normally.
UPDATE 2...
Rom has a watered down version of knox but no common KNOX entrie in download mode.
Q:Can i install a custom recovery is this rom?
A: YES.
what we really want to know is does this update have the locked bootloader? If so, then you may possibly forever be stuck with touchwiz and stock based ROMs..

did you brick your device in the process or did it just fail flashing & error out, or did it work but only flash 4.2 system leaving new bootloader intact?
so with this finding, just to be clear on this, no custom roms can be used for those who upgraded with new bootloader?
would it be possible to restore 4.2 rom backup of only system.img in custom recovery or will it not boot?
sorry for lots of q's

Yes I got what is called a semi brick when trying to downgrade the rom when flashing the bootloader partition. This is easily remedied by going into download mode and flashing kit kat.
The good news is once you got the new bootloader installed, it will be virtually impossible to brick your device by conventional means.
Yes, locked bootloader means you can't have custom kernels, but you can have customs recoveries and roms.
In theory yes, but as far as I know only bootloader above 4.3 are compatible with kit kat rom, it may work but you may find that certain drivers will nor work, like loss of wi-Fi may occur. I Know this from my experiences with the note 2 and s4.

Yes I have just downloaded KITKAT 4.4.2 for my GALAXY Tab3 8.0 LTE SM-T315
Country: Baltic
PDA: T315XWUANA1
From sammobile
Link here
Sorry this link is still 4.2.2 jellybean link removed
UPDATE
@faria
ok, just restoring 4.2 system.img from twrp backup doesn't work, doesn't boot, blank screen after initial samsung logo, didn't try restoring 4.2 boot.img with it though, thought that had something to do with bootloader but reading up it doesn't appear to, so if i restored that as well maybe it would boot?
flashing custom roms like cm11.0 is still possible as you say & seems to work just fine using this new bootloader, even shows blackhawk kernel in settings/about, should this be possible as its custom kernel?
i didn't have to do anything at all different than when i was on 4.2, just flash custom rom through recovery as normal
no new entries in odin/download mode info screen, all lines still the same
now i don't feel so bad upgrading
@HavokbyName
Please download Device info from the playstore byjphilli85, run it and post your kernel version an boot-loader version.
I would not be suprised if we can also flash custom kernels to the tab as the Knox version the device have seems to be a watered down version.
Thanks for the feedback.

here, running latest cm build to date:
Hello
I run stock rom with twrp
I download the update and then i tap to install it
It reboot my phone into recovery mode without updating it
Then i reboot my phone and i realize that the update was lost
It says me that my phone is updated(thats not true)
What can i do?
Maybe i can flash the update because i downloaded it and probably it is somewhere in my device?
Please help me
Thanks
Assuming you are rooted (since you mentioned TWRP), you cannot install updates to Lollipop - because your system partition is modified. You will need to be completely stock if you want to take OTA.
P.S. The update is 5.0.1, not 5.1
I was in the same condition, I flashed a stock lollipo android 5 with is home kernel, no root and with unlocked bootloader but the result is not changing. When the 5.1 update pop appears I confirm dowbload, I confirm installation but when reboot in recovery a very fast fake installation runs on error and then stop on home twrp immage.
Please any flashable pure stock will probably be easier.
Thanks
Sorry jj14 I confirm update is 5.0.1

Backup your apps and other files on your phone and just flash the 5.0.1 factory image, reroot and restore your user apps and you`re done.
Could you please upload a stock .zip file 5.0.1 that I could flash from recovery??

Which TWRP is recommended for flashing this, 2.8.2.0 or higher? Or can I stay on 2.7.0.0?
Looks like a great ROM! Never minded stock. I am going to try this and LP Extreme.

Couple of questions (sorry, new to LG devices):
If this is the official T-MObile OTA we are supposed to receive soon... will we have any trouble receiving that annoying OTA update request, and the wakelocks that occur if I disable the PlayServicesUpdate services associated to them? (I don't disable them)
When you say to flash "30b bootstack", how to if I don't have a custom recovery in the first place? Get TWRP first, and then flash it?
Is there no need to unlock bootloader on these LG phones like with my Nexus 5?
I thought 5.1 was going to be the OTA from LG :s
Thanks for all your work

I was on jellybean baseband also .The 30 b bootstack will change your bootloader and base into lollypop so that is neccessary to work flashing the 30 b lollypop.It also flashes the latest recovery but you will loose the jellybean base and the download mode .Maybe then if we flash the kit kat bootstack we will bring download mode again .Didnt try that yet Also to get the download mode back maybe d801 lollypop autorec can do that .either didnt try that .:good:

30b Freedom tool is for those on stock 30b Lollipop. You say your on 20g. Not sure if it will work with 20g. Don't have device anymore to test .
Does this rom has any issue or bug?
Works great as long as you don't flash a backup of a rom or xposed for lollipop. Flashing a backup pops up a message saying "Secure Booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify". Then it goes to a black screen. I had to go to download mode and put stock on my phone to fix it. When flashing xposed for lollipop a stock app keeps on crashing. I forgot which app it was but when it crashes you can click ok then instantly the message pops up again. Other than those two things this works great.

I didn't know I had to freeze those apps. How about if I'm flashing a Cyanogenmod 12 backup. Would I still have to flash the 20g bootstack?
hi, so i flashed the brasilian 5.0.2 version, its possible to install another 5.0.2 version without making a downgrade and unlocking the bootloader, i want to flash my original firmware (which is the mexican one) when lollipop comes out
If it was the flashable zip from @lost101, then yes, you are free to do so. Lost101 made flashable zips that do not mess with the bootloader and you can install anything you want afterwards.
If you flashed the entire brazilian firmware via fastboot then I believe your boot loader may be a lollipop one, and I'm not sure if you could go back to kit Kat stock (which would not enable you for being print for the update)
so you mean i have to make a downgrade in order to install a new firmware? its not possible to directly install the lollipop update from another region?
Well... Long story short
If you want to update the official update for your phone, you'll have to flash the full stock firmware in order to be prompted for a lollipop update.
If that happens, your boot loader will update to lollipop and the downgrading is impossible
If you use the flashable zips you can flash anytime, from any ROM, from any version
---------- Post added at 11:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 PM ----------
The Brazilian and all other flashable zips here on the android Dev section from @lost101 have updating disabled, because they don't recommend boot loader update (if you want to continue using root or flash roms efficiently)
yes i know that, i flashed the entire brazilian firmware amd updated to 5.0.2, the thing i want to do, is to intall the mexican lollipop firmware when it comes out, without making a downgrade to KitKat

In your case, there should be no problem with flashing the Mexican Lollipop firmware when it is available.

tried CF-Auto Root but Odin messed it up somehow, phone got stuck on the emergency mode option and smart switch or kies could not help. I also tripped the knox flag but no luck with rooting still. Can someone please help with procedure to root G920I
I have the same problem, need help with this
I think cf autoroot doesn't work with that version of firmware. I read somewhere that you have to flash both modem and bootloader from older fw version.
There's is a thread talking about bootloader of g920i

I had the same problem with the 920i dol5 firmware, here is the fix I did
I downloaded an older firmware from Sam mobiles. I believe I got the doj6 firmware which was just before dol5
Then I flashed that firmware through odin and I was able to flash twrp without getting stuck in boot loop and I was able to flash roms and kernels without any problem
I have tried many methods but this is the only one which works the best

So you flashed TWRP directly after DOJ6 using odin? How did you achieve root access then? Need help mate. If you can provide links as well it will be a great help!

I downloaded twrp 3.0.0 from from the official twrp site: https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys6.html
And yes flash TWRP through through odin after getting DOJ6 firmware and then flashed XtreStoLite rom(through twrp fyi)which gave instant root. You can also twrp flashable uni-kernel to get root access on stock firmware
Unikernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/samsung-galaxy-s-6--s-6-edge-unified-development/kernel-stockmod-kernel-t3100395
Flashing CF-autoroot may most probbably work after flashing DOJ6 firmware but I didn't try it.However flashing cf-root or anything with dol5 firmware is certainly going to result in a boot loop, so that is why I recommend to flash older DOJ6 firmware or waiting for the latest MM firmware(this is what I planned to do but MM is still not available after waiting for almost 3 months)
920i roms ???

Do not try CF-Autoroot, it doesn't work, so solution, please head over to sammobile and download rom which has a baseband version of "G920IDVU3DOK9", at sammobile you can see this (PDA), download this rom and install it using ODIN, once you are done, again come back to XDA forum and download unikernel "S6_UniKernel_v8-0002-ODIN" (link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...d-development/kernel-stockmod-kernel-t3100395), download the one which says ODIN flashable, now once you are done, go back to download mode and flash it using ODIN, once it finishes the installation, you are good to go, while booting the device, one the top left corner you would see a message saying kernel is not seandroid enforcing, no worries, your device will boot up, this is it, your S6 is rooted, please be noted that this works for Indian version phone (SM-G920I), I am not sure with other models, hope this helps, feel free to question if any help needed.
i was on dol5 firmware and followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/galaxy-s6-root-5-1-1-variants-t3147074
