I didn't like Lolipop so I reflashed Kit Kat. T-Mobile tried pushing me an update which I turned off the notifications for. I'm rooted. I'd like to update to the latest Kit Kat version (presumably 4.4.4).
I wouldn't mind flashing a T-Mobile 4.4.4 image, but I've had very little luck finding any Kit Kat firmware at all.
My question is: How would I go about this? Or Where might I find the right firmware? (I've found a whole lot of dead links)

Sup guys I have a nexus 5 on WiFi only and want to check out 5.0. I don't want to unlock and flash and all that. I'm on 4.4.2 and it says I have a update to 4.4.3. Its been a few days so I know I might not get the 5.0 for a little. But I never even got an update for 4.4.4. Do I need to upgrade to 4.4.3 to get 4.4.4. And then 5.0?

That's correct. Not sure if you'd get a notification for 5.0, but you'd get one for 4.4.4 for sure. Just go ahead and update to 4.4.3.

Thanks ?
The OTA's will come one at a time, in order. So if you're on 4.4.2, you will OTA to 4.4.3. From there to 4.4.4 and then finally to 5.0.
Basically, before 5.0 the way OTA's were done is it would check your /system files and match them up with what is supposed to be there. If it's good to go, the OTA will install. So the 4.4.3 update is looking specifically for 4.4.2 files. If it matches and you update the 4.4.4 will look for 4.4.3 files. @rootSU can explain in better depth how the process actually works and what's changed with 5.0.
Hey Guys -
I've looked all through the forums for an answer, but couldn't find a concrete one nor one I was 100% would work for my specific device so decided to post the 3 questions I have...
I've got a Shield Tablet (Wi-Fi USA) which I bought pretty much on day one. Once Lollipop came out, I upgraded to it and in turn re-rooted it afterwards. About a week ago, i got the notification for the 5.0.1 OTA upgrade. I tried applying it by downloading the update then restarting when prompted, but when it came back up it was still at 5.0.0. I'm positive this is due to it being rooted and would still want (need) for it to be after the 5.0.1 upgrade so...
1. What's the best / safest way to apply 5.0.1 (from 5.0.0) to my tablet currently?
2. Will OTA not work if rooted which is why there are so many zip file links in the forums? If not, which update file do I need for USA WiFi only?
3. Once upgraded, what's the best / safest method for re-rooting again? I saw a few posts for how the bootloader needed to be unlocked. Don't know if that's still the latest info. Long way from Towel, huh?
I'm not asking anyone to spell it all out for me, but if you know what to do if you could send me links or whatever to the correct steps / files, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks guys!
Its me again
My question is
Im going to use the 5.0 of Motorola when its officialy release
Im in CM12 actually
But i already have the 41.18 (5.0.1) bootloader
And i only can downgrade my xt1032 to 4.4.2, but i have to update to 4.4.4 first but i think i cant because of the GPT/Bootloader.
Is there any way to skip 4.4.4 or is there a 4.4.4 image for the xt1032 because i havent found anyone yet
Be very careful about what you do from this point. Some people have hard-bricked their phones by walking the road you are on. Their phones are useless until factory firmware images are available.
I suggest you wait until there is a full firmware image for Stock Lollipop. When available, it will be announced here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546251&page=11
Thank you mate ?
Hello. I have a following doubts. Sorry if I posted in the wrong place.
And that recently could not stand waiting for the official OTA motorola moto G 1st generation. Ai made a forced update to 5.0.2. Tired of Roma decided to install another rom. I made the conversion pro GPE, and installed the rom, I was a few days with her, but because of the 2 chip back to Stock kit kat. But I came across a soft brick, do not leave the boot animation after a while remade, and I could go back to 4.4.4 sotck retail.br. Today I received the OTA motorola, for lollipop 5.0. But is your problem, I have seen countless topics that update over the air, the cell will stay with hard brick. Because the bootloader.
You got a problem I install OTA lollipop?
Bootloader version: 41.18 (sha-99084d5, 10/29/2014 23:54:18 (using 4.4.4 Kit kat Stock reatil rom)
Sorry my English, there is no Brazilian session, I am using the translator
I have he TL-10 version (Gold) and I updated it to B313 5.1 lollipop a few days back but I'm not liking it very much, my phone becomes very laggy sometimes and I can't seem to find any way to downgrade it back to 4.4.2 Kitkat. I've searched online but can't find B300 transition firmware for the TL-10 although one does exist for the TL-09 version. Can someboy help me in downgrading it back to Kitkat. I've done a factory reset as well but that didn't help either.
same issue here !
