Droid Maxx 4.4 to latest

I have an unlocked rooted 4.4 and need to update to the latest os and modem drivers.
What is the best way and how do I get tethering and root back after I do it?

Pay for sunshine get boot loader unlock flash moto x ROM that is modded

I already have it unlocked.
Where can I get the latest 4.4.4 rooted and can I flash it directly over the current rooted 4.4?
Also where can I get the latest modem drivers?

If you are boot loader unlocked you are already good to go, you can root with a quick flash of a custom recovery

I have TWRP and rooted I need the latest modem drivers and os update

This site was down for a while, but it seems to be back in a limited fashion right now.
You will need to reinstall TWRP and flash Superuser/SuperSU to regain root after flashing the files most likely. As for tethering, if you plan to stay with a Droid Maxx ROM, you can take a look at this link.

Do I need to remove TWRP first?

You have to flash that image with RSDLite if I recall correctly. If you leave the xml file the way it is, I believe it will wipe your TWRP and flash the stock recovery in the process, not positive as I haven't done it for a few months. You can reinstall TWRP and root afterwards.

All done, just manually flashed everything but the bootloader.

What are the exact steps?
I have an unlocked boot loader on my Droid Maxx. Currently phone is on 4.4.
Now I am interested in updating it to the latest OTA without losing root.
I understand that if I first install TWRP, I would not be able to take OTA updates. In that case I have to download the update files from the link above and flash via RSD Iite. Is that correct?
Is it not simpler for me to take all the OTA's first (and lose root in the process.) Then, I can still install TWRP and then install SuperSU?

So, yesterday I took four OTA updates and moved from 19.xx to the latest 4.4.4.
I am still rooted and with BL unlocked.
No TWRP ever installed.

I think you need to have stock recovery.

i tried that many times, it doesnt work.

Stock recovery wont help. Dload just take anything.
you may have flashed any custom ROM I guess? How about trying with B360 version and see the behavior via dload. If you need the files for it, there is one in my signature, 1st link. capture couple of files from it and proceed with dload.

Do you have stock recovery or TWRP now? You may need to flash srock recovery, stock boot, stock cust.img and stock vendor.img via fastboot.

Update failed "Failed to mount '/system' "

Hi,
I just tried to update my P20 from EML-L29 8.1.0.106(C432) to EML-L29 8.1.0.110(C432)-FULL.
My Bootloader is unlocked, the phone is rooted and TWPR is installed.
After the phone has downloaded the update and is rebooting into the recovery I get the following error:

Is this error normal, beacuse I unlocked the Bootloader of the device and the updater will just be blocked by Huawei or am I doing something wrong?
Is the another methode to update the device?
Thanks for your help

Its because of twrp and root. You need flashable zip.

You need a zip prepared for twrp flash. I don't think there is any available

It might have changed since I did this the last time (a couple of years ago), but
When running stock firmware, and rooted, I never ever ever applied official updates.
It was doomed to fail. Then.
Today it might be different...?
- I recommend a Return To Stock, by flashing stock firmware. And yes, that will wipe all things on your device.
This is why one always uses backups such as Google Sync etc.
Best of luck m8
Peace ✌??

Going back to stock rom and Netflix has become incompatible with my device.

I tried using Arrow Os and xiaomi.eu
Arrow OS has not yet fix Screen cast so i tried xiaomi.eu, but i really dislike the built in icon pack and i dont know how to disable it. so i tried to go back to stock rom.
now i flash stock rom v12.04 via MiFlash but after going back to stock rom Netflix and some payment apps has become incompatible and doest show when i search it on play store. I also tried installing stock rom v12.07 using TWRP but same results.
I flashed Arrow OS via orangefox and xiaomi.eu via TWRP.
Edit: when i go back to arrowOS and xiaomi.eu, netflix becomes available again.

Why did you change your recovery form OFOX to TWRP to flash stock ROM?
Try to reflash latest OFOX and try to flash stock ROM 12.0.7 via OFOX, and please report here if it by any chance worked better than with TWRP, thanks...

Yes. I used that rom. I actually have tried fixing this last week. I tried downloading and flashing stock roms from the official site and the mirrors provided here. But all of them didnt work. I got tired clean flashing and settled for arrowOS. But I really need my screen casting now so here i am again trying to find a fix.

the only thing that I can think of here is to perform factory reset right after you reflash and boot the Global rom again and see if that will help you somehow with your problem, otherwise I got nothing, sorry

Question Do you have to unlock the bootloader again after each stock ROM update?

Hi, I have a Poco x3 pro with an old ArrowOS
i want to try an upgraded version of arrowOS or LineageOS but i have to upgrade to stock ROM first,
Will I have t unlock my phone again ?
will it work if i don't remember my old xiaomi/mi account ?
thx

No it will not lock bootloader unless you checked lock bootloader in the flash tool when you flash rom

Your bootloader is already unlocked:
You can use the TWRP/O.F to flash the firmware (recovery rom) or Miflash (choose flash_all.bat) or directly with a fastboot rom.

you're using expression I'm not sure I understand :
> "to flash the firmware (recovery rom)"
do you mean "to flash a Stock ROM" ?
because to me "recovery rom" can be confused with stock recovery / custom recovery
and so, I'm not sure what you want me to flash, the full stock ROM or just the stock recovery.img ?
I'm on android 11 and I want to install LineageOS 19.1 (android 12)
So I will need to install the Full stock ROM android 12 from Xiaomi : MIUI 13
Right ?
"Android 12 firmware" = Full stock ROM MIUI 13, Right ?

You can install the requested firmware if existing or the complete rom.
If only in recovery use the TWRp/O.F, firmware too, if Fastboot uses Miflash
Sometimes the firmware alone does not work, use the rom.
TWRP/O.F

Only if you use Miflash.
Please note that the clean all and lock box is checked by default
