I'm on a CM13 based ROM and I hear you can't downgrade from it. So my stock lollipop backups are useless now, is that correct ?

CM 13 is android M based. You can freely try flashing other android M based ROMs without gong back to stock.

I see no reason why your backup would not work. You cannot trust everything people say on XDA.

ota updates you wont get with a custom kernel. you need to have everything(besides the root binaries) completely stock, no modifications at all.

actually deodexed might not receive an ota, since the odex files are "removed". but for that im unsure.

odexed version with stock recovery as well. but why do you need an ota? many times theres a custom rom or a stock aosp rom ready with the new code by the time the ota starts. maybe at lates a few days after there are rooted roms already out.

I did method 2, because method 1 didnt work...
I heard that the 4.4.3 fix some camera bugs, so I'm want to check it...
Thank you so much for the help!!! and thanks to Zepius for your Excellent Guide!!!

Hey,
Just one problem, after I installed the stock rom, some applications stopped to run, and when I connect it to the computer (With USB Debugging and MTP) it's just showing me a "Internal memory" and I cant copy anything...
Not sure where but I read that if anything under /system/app is modified it automatically disables Ota. If that's true that would mean you'd need an odexed ROM with no SuperSU and definitely stock kernel.

no you can get the OTA with SuperSu/Superuser.
the issue the missing odex files. the OTA performs a check and looks for those.

You're running Optipop, a custom rom, and Uber, a custom kernel. You're going to have to update manually. You're not tied to that rom/kernel but it's a good combo.

Thanks how do i update manually? Sorry for all the questions

You can`t if you have have a custom rom, recovery, kernel and changed the system. You have to be full stock and made no alteration in any way to the system.

Oh ok,thanks. Anyway to go back stock or should i leave well enough alone?

You can always flash the full 5.0.1 factory image, but if you`re happy with your current rom just leave it as it is mate
Anyone have a link of a Verizon lollipop OTA update for the M8 that is rooted? It is for the wife's phone and she does not feel comfortable using a custom rom. It seemed like rooted 4.4.4 OTA came out pretty quick for the M8 last time but I have not been able to find lollipop yet.
Thank you
If that phone is S-off use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...zip-ruu-m8vzw-5-0-1-s-off-onlynewest-t3047103

Yes that is the ROM that we used and was able to just update the phone without having to do a full wipe of her phone. I was hoping to find a lollipop update just like the one he did. I wish she would use a custom ROM as it would be so much easier bit I can not talk her into it.

Give @andybones a little time and he might just hook you up with a new bonestock

i changed bonestock over to "fluent rom" now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...rom-fluent-rom-v1-0-rls1-4-16-1540-8-t3007173
@jpennin217 You do realize you have to flash the LP firmware before you can flash any LP-rom, right?
After that, just flash whatever you like and tell her that's what stock Lollipop looks like :cyclops:
Upgrading to LP you will at least have to wipe cache, Dalvik and data requiring you to install all your apps again.
Use HTC Backup to save apps and their data, access points etc - but that's never perfect. To some extent you will have to start fresh. This is more than a simple same version upgrade.

Hello everyone,
I've been using CyanPop (Marshmallow 6.0) for the last week, and while it's an awesome ROM with no major flaws whatsoever I'd like to downgrade to Lollipop.
Is there some guide on how to do it? I've searched here, on Google and on Reddit but all the results are about downgrading from Lollipop to KitKat, and I don't know if it's safe to do the same things.
Thanks in advance!
I did it yesterday ,wiped everything using twrp copied 5.1 ROM using PC and installed it
Is it that easy? I was expecting something like that guide in the General forum where you need some Windows tools and so.
Well, I won't complain. Thanks!
Downgrading is only a concern when you downgrade stock firmware, not a custom ROM.
With custom ROM's you simply factory reset in recovery and flash the ROM.

I asked in the MOAR q&a thread but realized it's a generic question that does not generally pertain to the ROM. After the new stock update Odin is useless to flash any thing because it blocks any flashing at the bootloader. Is there any way to go stock if I haven't backed up anything? I'm currently running on the new update base and have MOAR speed racer flashed. Thank you for any help
Any fixes yet same thing I just ran into. I haven't used stock in so long I had no idea you couldn't go back

What version are you on now? As of PK1 firmware, you cannot flash back to a previous version, you would need PK1 or newer to go back to stock.
I have stock rom BPJ2, rooted. I found the PK1 rom, can I flash this via TWRP?

TWRP is for custom rom only.
