I have a stock unrooted Motorola nexus6 that is currently running lollipop 5.1.1 build LZY28N. I am using the AT&T straight talk sim card. I cannot get it to update to marshmallow. ive been considering unlocking the bootloader and flashing it myself, but I don't know wich build to download. from what ive gathered the LZY28N build is tmobile build. I also seen somewhere that I need to download build MRA58K. I have downloaded this build but have not proceeded because I'm not sure if it is the correct build. I want to get an official build as to not screw up my new device. I recently had a one plus one running cyanogen 12.1 and it was crashing a lot and I'm trying to prevent this from happening to this phone. anyone out there have any info for me? I know how to unlock bootloader, root,install twrp, and flash. I just need some direction as to what build to flash and have everything go as smooth as possible

So I have a Boost Moto G(1031) that I unlocked the Bootloader on & put the stock Verizon Moto G(XT1028) firmware on so I can OTA on Page Plus & make Life easier later. I was wondering if any one has tried to put the Verizon CM on this device setup like this or any other Verizon Rom for that matter. If so did it work?, Brick it? Error Out? what was the result's & what Version of android were you on when you tried this? I would like to have the latest Cyanogenmod 11 for Moto G on my device but some places I see 1028 & others I see 1031 so just wondering the outcome before I try cause im sure someone has tried this already. Thanks for any info
Boost Moto G with Verizon rom
I have the Boost Moto G programmed for PagePlus also. I have installed several of the rom's, both cm and asop with no problems such as "brick" or looping as you are worried about. Each of the different rom's seem to have their own issues you probably have read about in the forums.
I'm no expert, but I think as long as you have adb and fastboot figured out and follow the guides you'll do alright.
Currently I'm using the Flashable ZIP Stock Motorola firmware in the development forum and it is working very well for me.
I'm using Android version 4.4.4
Good Luck!

Right on. Yea all custom roms seem to have their own issues whatever they may be. I'm as well on 4.4.4 stock I haven't rooted yet cause I wasn't sure if I would be able to use the Roms for a Verizon device & hadn't seen any info on it. Thanks for the info I'll get her rooted & start playing yay!!
Sorry for the noob question....
I have a Verizon M8, s-off, running CyanogenMod 11 rom. Been using it for about a month with no problems but would like to branch out and try other roms. I know I need to update to Verizon 4.4.3 firmware to avoid long boot times.
I did the sdcard firmware update method per the thread below and everything seemed to go fine but a don't know how to verify the firmware update is good on CM11. I dont know where to look. Any ideas? I cant post on that thread yet or I would ask there.

How do I restore my HTC One M8 to the latest stock everything. (OS, firmware, android version, everything)
I'm not a total newbie in rooting and recoveries, but I just can't seem to find the difference between ROMS and firmware.
Here's what happened:
I was running 4.4.3 rooted on my M8, and then I flashed the MaximusHD ROM (because it had 4.4.4) So I thought, why do the OTA update and then install a ROM when I can just simply install a ROM that already has 4.4.4 installed. What happened then was I lost the ability to turn on wifi, which confused me.
On their post someone wrote that you need to update the firmware or else the wifi wouldn't work. This all got me extremely confused, so I tried to switch on a different ROM to see if the problem would be solved.
I switched over to Android Revolution 21.0, which is what I'm currently stuck on. So I just want to go back to stock HTC firmware and os or whatever it's called.
Here's some info about my device:
HTC One M8, international europe edition, unlocked
Android version: 4.4.4
Software number: 3.28.401.7
I can also add Kernel version, baseband version and build number, but are these necessary?
Thank you to anyone who helps me out with this, I am extremely grateful.
Hi there,
I'd suggest reviewing and having a look at this thread: [GUIDE] Return your European M8 to 100% Stock
Thank you and thread closed!
I have a Verizon S3 unlocked, no root, totally stock android 4.4.2 with baseband yudne1 and build kot49h.i535vrudne1
Want to confirm if I can install CM13 nightly. Everything I read indicates I need to root and update recovery and all that good stuff but it is not possible on 4.4.2
Just want to confirm if anything has changed in the past year with a new process. Forums have a lot of old guides so I would appreciate a quick yes or no. if yes, any link to a stable procedure would really be appreciated.
Thank you in advance. XDA is awesome and the people on this forum are some of the best.
Thanks,

Hey!
As @ShapesBlue says, if you took the OTA to 4.2.2 then you are locked. HOWEVER, there is a method developed by the typical enterprising XDA member that "Downgrades" the firmware by flashing part of the boot loader/firmware but leaves the crucial bit intact that doesn't brick the phone. Sort of a hybrid firmware flash. I believe it's supposed to open the phone up to flashing TWRP and non-stock custom ROMs. I know someone who used it and it worked on CM12.1 last year, but he also had some trouble after awhile (don't know if that was related to this procedure or not) and made an error later that bricked his phone, permanently it seems.
What isn't mentioned in that OP, at least the last time I looked, was that after doing this procedure, if you flash the firmware recommended in the CM12 and CM13 thread OP's, you will overwrite the partition that is spared in his zip file. Then you will be dead! He does explain exactly what partitions are flashed by telling you how to make the zip file. The updater-script I expect is not touched. Looking at it or in the other files you'll need to do this process will show you what's written where, but they have the partitions names. You can go into the CM12.1 thread OP on XDA for our phone and by clicking on the "d2vzw ROM Extras" link you can find all kinds of stuff, plus a few different partition tables that tell you how your phone is setup. There is other info in the OP itself about this and other topics related to flashing CM as well. (I'm the OP )
WARNING! Don't go into this haphazardly though. I would read through that thread thoroughly and see what if any success people are reporting, and ask questions. You don't want to ruin your phone!
It's in the "Android Development" forum in the root forum for our phone.
Report back on what you end up doing.:good:
Howzit guys.
Firstly if this is not the correct place to post my questions please inform me or MOD can move it.
I am trying to get some information about this device:
LG G4 Stylus
Brand: lge
Model LG-H635
OS: Android 6.0 (32Bit)
what i require is some links or help or guides on:
How to root this device
How to install custom recovery
Where to get older stock/official versions of the ROM ie. KitKat or LiloPop or Marshmallow.
Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated as my knowledge on the LG phones are very limited.
EDIT: Uploaded some pictures.
Hey, I have the same phone (H635), but unfortunately, the bootloader is not unlockable, so no one has created a custom recovery for this phone. I did have a temporary root with KingRoot, but there was a system update released on Tuesday that broke even the temporary root, so as of now, there isn't anything that can be done to the phone to mod or customize it.
If you have the opportunity to buy an American T Mobile model, that version has an unlockable bootloader, as well as custom recovery and roms available for it.
The only firmware I found on the internet for the H635 model is here, a version of Marshmallow: http://lg-firmware-rom.com/download/lg-g-stylo-h635-stock-kdz-firmware-h63520a/
Hope this helps answer your questions...
Cheers
