Hi mates, thank you!
Briefly the story is that I bought an import S5 G900P with LL 5.0, I updated bootloader to MM and flashed MM, works without baseband, flashed stock 5.0 OK4 (G900PVPU3BOK4_G900PSPT3BOK4_G900PVPU3BOK4_HOME.ta r.md5) and baseband (network signal call+data+sms) worked, then I flashed over it the Ressurection Remix 5.8.5, baseband worked but after 3-4 hours I got a hard brick with black screen. Somehow I booted in download mode and flashed again succesfully the Stock LL5.0 but screen keeps black.
I'm with a new phone (under warranty, next day after bought, they kindly replaceded it) with LL5.0, I'm afraid to flash over it the TWRP+RR5.8.5 and get a new brick, can someone expert please suggest me a bootloader which can be considered safe?
Thank you!

Hey guys
Been reading about the new 4.4.4, but no clear info on it
Picked up a Boost Mobile Moto G to use with Page Plus
unlocked the bootloader
installed CFC-fastboot_falcon_verizon_user_4.3
installed recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-falcon.img
rooted
I'm up to CFC-fastboot_falcon_verizon_user_4.4.2
my question is do I flash to CFC-fastboot_falcon_verizon_user_4.4.4
are there problems with the new 4.4.4
right now I have 3G data, and everything works.
anyone flash 4.4.4 to Page Plus, any issues ?
Thanks

I just flashed 2 of the Boost phones last week... immediately after flashing the Verizon firmware, it updated to 4.4.4 and I let it go. This before I even flashed the NV stuff to get data & 3G. It has been flawless for me. I came to this phone from a Rezound which was much harder to get onto PP properly. I have already rooted my phone and put on TWRP 2.7.1.0... I am trying to make myself wait a while before I really get into flashing different ROMs because this stock variant is working so smoothly. Hope this helps a bit.
No Issues Here
I had flashed my device when it was on 4.3 as well and on July 30th it updated to 4.4.4 & everything works as it should so just let it do the update no need to do it manually unless you are rooted I guess would be the only reason
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.

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...

Hi guys a bit of help please. I'm about to fully flash my device back to stock.
I have a o2 UK variant s6. I have downloaded the correct 5.1.1 rom via sammobile. However the worry I have is about the bootloader, do I have to do anything with it.
Thanks in advance.

You shouldnt have to if you have any concerns just do it though smart switch on your pc once the program opens up click over to emergencey recovery and punch in your device name eg. SM-G92xx and your serial number make sure its all capitals it will download the correct software for your device and flash it for you. If this dosent work then you shouldn't have problems with odin as long as your not downgrading from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1
That's the wierd thing. Smart switch will not recognise my phone. Windows dose and Odin just not smart switch. Is it because I'm rooted running a custom rom.
I was on 6.0.1 but reverted back to a 5.1.1 custom rom. Dose that make a difference.
Thanks

Im rooted on custom rom and it sees my phone hmmm well aslong as u flash a 5.1.1 bootloader when u came back you should be fine
I am trying to root and unlock bootloader of my S5 (G900V + EMMC 15). I have followed this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71202995&postcount=3
but i cant get past the first step. I am on stock MM firmware. After flashing first file via odin the phone reboots but shows no display but black screen. I thought maybe its because of my MM firmware version so i tried to downgrade and flashed 5.1 firmware but...get this... the thing got stuck at verizon logo.
Now i am just frustrated if i am ever going to be able to root this thing and unlock BL
Any help for me or someone else has faced same situation before...
