I was eager to update my Oneplus one to lollipop 5.1.1, so I found a download to what I thought was simple update to 5.1.1.I am new to all this so did not have a clue what I was doing if I'm honest. I downloaded 5.1.1 download then i ran it on my phone. Afta which my phone bricked!! I managed to unbrick my phone. N now in my settings in about phone it's says I'm running 5.1.1. So did I actually flash my phone?? The phone was also displaying all the correct attributes of 5.11. But then due to something silly I did a factory reset by first wiping is it cash partition? Afta reset the phone not displaying the things it should do running 5.1.1 but in about phone it clearly States phones software is lollipop 5.1.1. So what do I do now do I have to root phone to get further updates by installing ROMs or is my phone already rooted bcoz I managed to manually update to 5.1.1????Also my Oneplus one is a bit confused with itself as it keeps telling me to do system update to guess what?? Yes lollipop 5.1.1!! So i am totally confused as I'm a total noob and confused as what my next step should be???
if you want to fix your device back to normal then root and unlock it (learn how to do it its really simple and wont void warranty on the one ) flash stock image of COS 12.1 unrooted .if you want to continue using root then do the same procedure again and it would be fine otherwise run it with cos 12.1 without root if you arent all that tech savvy.
Read Heseinberg's thread, it will teach you what to do and not do.

I have not updated. As I mentioned I am rooted and unlocked. Not sure what to do hence posted my question in the forum.

1. You don't have to worry about lock bootloader
2. Which Software version are you running? v10e, v10i or v10j?
3. If you update there is a way to downgrade cuz we have previews KDZ's
I am running version 10i,
I am guessing tmobile wants to upgrade me to v10j. Is there a flash able version for 10j that I can use?
Thanks

dummy you can't update that way you must remove all traces of root which the app can't do use the KDZ
If you are rooted and it says system update DO NOT INSTALL IT... it will brick your phone

Okay, so I recently bought a used Moto G LTE, seller said it would be on Lollipop 5.1. When I received it, it had been rolled back to 4.4.4. Hence the screen ripple at every boot up (which persists until the phone is locked and then unlocked) that almost gave me a heart attack the first time. A little googling later I learn this happens because while you can downgrade android the upgraded version's bootloader remains. So last night I finally got around to rooting since I just can't go from a rooted phone to living with a non rooted one, feels like my phone has a noose around it. Anyway I wanted to know if it's safe to flash CM on my phone now or should I reupgrade to 5.1 first? And if I should is there a way to get it to update OTA again? If not any suggestions where to find the firmware? I just want to feel free to flash roms without bricking my phone. Here is a screenshot of my About Phone, in case someone needs it to help, imgur.com /v8iLOU7

Hi.
In my xt1040, i can flash CM 12 lollipop or a stock rom based from kitkat 4.4.4 without problems (I have a updated bootloader), to get OTA updates again, its necessary flash the stock rom (KK or LP), without root, PURE stock (with all "bloatware").
Now im using a optimized rom from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816
No bugs, amazing battery life, and a pure stock, no "bloatware", great ram management.
Sorry for bad english.

You'll have to wipe the system anyway, updating it will be a waste of time...
Moto G 3rd Generation OTA update pending as rooted
Update Pending: 23.51.65.en.03
Current Build Number: LPI23.72-47
Hardware: XT 1550
Model: Moto G 3rd Generation
Purchased on flip kart three months back and unlocked and rooted.
I have been reading numerous threads but so much scared and confused as to how to get this update which is flashing from last 6 weeks I guess.
Pls could someone explain step by step how to manually update this OTA WITHOUT wiping data pls. Also how to root again after this update.
For first time rooting I followed some YouTube video but not finding any video for above activity.
Kindly help as I have really tried my best but cannot find a way.
Guys Kindly respond Pls. Need urgent Help. Looking forward to ur help.
what exactly u want to do now?
To unroot, simply open your supersu app, go to settings, scroll down and select Full unroot.
To re-root, just re-install twrp and then re-flash supersu
edit:
Be sure to re-lock your bootloader after un-rooting
an then unlock your bootloader before reinstalling twrp.
You're going to spend a whole lot of time getting your phone back to 100% stock. It will be far quicker to just flash a factory image and be done with it.
Not sure whether your answer really answers my question
But will this not reset all data and wipe...also can we do factory reset on unlocked bootloader and rooted device?
Senior members pls guide. Kindly help.
I've been on mm 6.0 and back to 5.1 .
I restored a twrp 5.1 recovery directly back from 6.0 using twrp . My boot loader
Is unlocked and I've used my own rooting
Method and flashifyed my twrp on both lp and mm. Since i'm on 5.1j with my bootloader still unlocked indicated on my
Splash screen can i safely flash the skinny rom on my metro g stylo with out a boot loop or a soft brick
Why did you go back to 5.1 if you wanted to flash the Skinny ROM?
I am going to try this Skinny debloated ROM soon. I have rooted T-Mobile Marshmallow on my MetroPCS Stylo and am missing some features that didn't flash correctly on my T-Mobile marshmallow.
I am always building stuff. I was working on a complete one click unlock Bl, Root and twrp and then another mm Rom build or two.
I always go back to my own builds cause I personalize them just for me but ran across the skinny while surfing and it caught my attention. I've been around for years and been doing this as a hobby since i retired and keeping myself busy.

Makes sense now.
Let me know how it goes when you (if) flash that Skinny debloated MM ROM.
I am curious if it works and if all the features like advanced text msgng and video calling and all the MM stuff is on it.
This rom works great so far. With the metro update and this it shouldn't take much to get both versons 6.0 mm. Sure would get custom roms going.
Thanks for your enlightenment.
Skinny Rom works great. The new MS63120B_00_0429.KDZ IS OUT. My Metropcs version phone can be set back to stock and I was wondering If using the new LG UP flasher will care that My Bootloader is UnLocked. I don"t know if it will Interfer and check its status.

thats a good question...i sure hope it doesnt matter to that tool that the bootloader is unlocked...if for some reason it did, maybe you could use lg flash tool 2014 and flash the lollipop kdz?
I went from t--mo mm to metro Loli..to get the metro mm...
I noticed that the bootloader was still unlocked after the Loli flash and kinda got concerned...
But, it never caused any probs...updated to mm metro and rooted smoothly....
I was kinda wondering if i could just wipe and flash skinny without extra caution and precautions...and then if i thought it was ( in my own opinion I'm entitled to) kinda not what i want..flash my mm metro back up...
Doesn't seem like it's been done..i could be wrong..
The drive to dev for this phone isn't as strong as i was hoping...
But, being the first android I've kept vanilla rooted with few tricks...it's not disappointing.
@Cyconumnum
Does the splashscreen still show
" unlocked bootloader "
And did you take the ota or
Flashed metro mm with lg up or the 2014 tool
I don't know what was debloated. The "Skinny" ROM itself is fine but what was taken out?

I used the flash tool to flash metro lollipop..
After that I went into fastboot to unlock the bootloader ...and it reported to be already unlocked...
It still showed "bootloader unlocked" at the top of the LG splash on the initial metro lollipop boot...
And reported it again booting the metro mm update

Sorry..the LG flash tool
I'm back on my personal juicy lp. I gotta get some new fast sd cards. I am working on another twrp for a friend in my spare time and have to hold up on roms and the total one click project. I would like to do the kdz 6.0 but i need parts .
Update; Found 16gb class 10 and worked skinny Rom, metro ota, and lg up flash tool. They both, metro ota and Lg Flash Kdz never showed skinny rom id'd. It said unknown device firmware. So bye bye skinny Rom. They both left the bootloader unlocked when finished flashing metro updates. As i stated before adb pkg and SuperSu needed updating and reinstalling for root and recovery was required. Splash screen still indicated an unlocked bootloader and loading the kdz from 5.0 kept data partition and required all out of date apps to be updated. Namely goggle playservices, adaway 311 needed (thanks guys) and xposed modules i uninstalled till I get time. Advance messageing was an Lg update not inclued in metro updates. Plenty of bloatware to lighten the load but still seemed less than skinnys bloatware. Good to be back on metro software and all the advance messaging and video calls worked. Now i DO gotta get more new sd's. Really out of parts to work with . Going to best buy to hold me over..
CHEERS ALL hope it helps you guys.
Edit; Forgot to add "Quickboot.apk" works 100% take you into all available modes.
i'm actually really content with it being on a stock rooted with various mods.....wish i could get the soft buttons to theme..that's nothing bad thou lol..
MM is a nice environment ..i wish i could install themes from cm13 .....but, as much i do ..i'm not gonna brick my phone with themes...did it before just changing the font on my F6...ha
but, it's great....makes enough sense....
my guess about the bootloader not getting changed with the ROM would be a bios type thing...i'm not toooo android savy..

I like the Stock ROM. There are several options for themes.
Layers in the Play Store
G4 Tweaksbox (requires root)
LG Apps Theme Engine (requires root)
LG SmartWorld (no root required but only available on Marshmallow T-Mobile Stylo ROM)
Hi All,
The short of a long story is that I just changed carriers and found out way late that I couldn't bring my Sprint phone to MetroPCS. So now I'm using the budget PCS On5 that came with the deal when we signed up.
I successfully loaded TRWP and then rooted however, I didn't know about FRP until it smacked me in the face. The root went fine but later SU prompted me to update the binary and when it did, it tripped factory reset protection and soft bricked my phone.
I want to reinstall stock OS on this phone but it appears that I have a software version that I haven't been able to find on the web yet. I found the stock rom for the MetroPCS On5 easily enough but it's Revision 0.0 and the box I have for the phone says REV0.4.
When I try to Odin Flash the REV0.0 version, I get SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2, BINARY 1 fail. So I guess I had the latest software on my phone and the phone thinks I'm trying to roll back using the 0.0 revsion.
My question is this, does anyone here have the stock rom for G550T1 REV0.4? Help!
If nobody does, maybe I can still fix this phone. I have a TRWP backup from the sister phone (same model same revision 0.4) that I'm using right now but I can't get back into TRWP on the soft bricked phone to recover that way to use the backup file.
Next I thought I might take the backup files and turn it into a rom and just flash that. However, with the tutorials I followed I kept running into problems. When I went to unpack the files per the tutorial, my rar software said that the file was corrupt. Maybe it is. but maybe not. It was my first time attempting to make a rom. If I can't find the software I need, could any of you Android geniuses help me get this backup into a flashable format?
I have to admit I'm daunted by the FRS in 5.0 and above. Is it defeatable? How do you root newer Android versions?
Thanks!
I did the same thing to my phone. did you get yours fixed?> if so could you provide me with the rom?
I haven't found the fix yet. Hopefully somebody will come through with a helping hand!
I finally got it figured out! So here is what i did and hopefully it will work for you.
1. I Odin flashed a good BL from the ROM REV0.0 floating around on the net. So at least I could now get into download mode.
2. Then I used Kies3 > Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation. It will ask you for your model number and then when you click ok it will ask you for a SN.
3. The trick is that Samsung doesn't put the SN that you need on the phone or the box. (personally, I couldn't find it on the phone either once I got it up and running) so go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-samsung-galaxy-on5-t3435457/page46 and get a SN from post #454 and use that. (don't forget to say thanks)
4. Click Ok. Let it work, and max and relax.
Mine took about 10 minutes. Hopefully this will work for you too! Thanks XDA!
Help!
What is BL from the ROM REV0.0? I need your help, I have the MetroPCS On5 and I installed Reborn ON5 I want to go back to the MetroPCS ROM because the camera and the audio do not work and I tried to install the original ROM through Odin but it does not work I get an error. What I can do? I would like to use this method but I do not have very clear files needed.
You could help me bro, I'll thank you
