I want to upgrade my wife's phone to marshmallow. Her 915F is official but rooted with TWRP.
I want to be sure that I will be able to roll back in case won't like it.
Is it possible?
Besides security updates, is there a good reason to update it ?

I brought a galaxy nexus off internet from Hong Kong a few months back now. All is working good and pleased with phone. I haven't got software update yet and currently running 4.1.1
Does anybody know why ? And how can I get the android update please.
Thanks.

Well, in this particular case, Google is your friend.

Thanks. I've tried this but still no joy. Maybe I should just sit tight and wait it out.

Ever think about rooting? Update whenever you want to
You can do like me when I first root my gnex download nexus root toolkit unlock boot loader and download factory image from Google "just google nexus factory image" download the one you want. Flash it using factory reset tool from tool kit and root if you want you can even relock bootloader

ppl always confuse updating the software with rooting. You DO NOT need to root your device to update it. Not at all! I also always advise not to except you really need to usr some specific app. To update your GN you just need unlocked bootloader and fastboot.exe.
I cannot post links yet but just google for android factory images and go the the google site and get the one for yakju or takju/for google wallet/.

So lately I've been seeing sites that claim their method can get you from 4.3 stock back to 4.1.2 stock. But last I heard the bootloader made things impossible and it couldn't be done. So is there a recent exploit found or something that makes it possible to downgrade from 4.3? The reason why I ask is I have a Verizon s3 I want on T-Mobile USA so I kinda need to be able to flash that ROM it specifies in that thread.

Those are more than likely scammers. If a method had been found, rest assured, it would have been plastered all over XDA by now.

Is a OTA update on a Nexus 5 safe with root, or would it be safer just to flash the update?
Also, does anyone no the date of 4.4.3 in the EU?

I want to update my s3 to the new 4.4 that Verizon just released. I have the message about the new update but every time I try to update the phone gets the triangle and the message. Is there anyway that I can go back to stock with out using a computer?

Verizon has no update for the GS3 to 4.4. The version now is 4.3.

Yup your right nvm it is just a baseband update.

I know the nexus just got the 4.4.3. Waiting for when it's available for the moto G. But I've read the 4.4.3 has some difficulty or cause problems with root. If this is the case will I lose root if I update. Or should I go back to stock do the update and root again.
I appreciate any info...

4.4.3 and up is going to keep having root problems so i would wait and stick with 4.4.2 and Wait till its safe.
I intend to do that. Until I hear otherwise. Thanks for the reply.

thats a nexus device, that does not mean your Moto G will be safe.
True ! I'll wait to hear more.

yeah i just saw it myself, sadly i have the Verizon Variant of the moto x and only the T-mobile moto x got the update xD.
My concern is it safe to get the ota while I have root. Or if I gotta go back to stock and have to root again. I thought I had read that the 4.4.3 was gonna have difficulty with root.

not sure yet, since every model of the Moto G can have its boot-loader unlocked, im sure that 4.4.3 will be rooted very soon even with the difficulties if the OTA removes your root, i would just go with it.
