Sorry for the noob question...
I currently have root, clockworkmod and Nova Rom on my Optimus Black. If I run KDZ FW Updater and update the firmware with my stock firmware... Does it means that the root, Nova Rom and clockworkmod will be no longer there
Ps* idk the difference between roms and firmware
Thanks in advance!

I'm currently using MCR FR19 (Fear Kill) with NeoBlaze kernel which convert system partitions to EXT 4. and I have flashed baseband to latest with SmartFlash.
Now I wanna install latest stock rom using LGMobile update (with all stock basband, rom and kernel).
How do i do that ? Do i have to go back to EXT 3 and flash basband to old one ?

if you're Europe then you should flash Europe open. it's good stock firmware until wait for GB
On a custom rom, wouldnt update OTA, just use smartflash. You never know the outcome with FOTA on custom roms, i think FOTA should even be disabled on custom roms? At least on Cyanogen it is disabled.
I have LG-P999DW from Windmobile in Canada, can I use the Europe open P990 stock rom?

How to install this ROM and Kernel? Can anyone help me?
I have 2 tar files but I don't know how to install to Optimus 2X"
Tahnks Guys!
Hi everybody.
my HTC one has Viper 5.8 running with S-ON and i like it that way.
I never updated the Firmware since i moved from the 4.2.2 stock rom. (i have nandroid backup of the stock rom)
I am a bit scared doing S-OFF "just" to update firmware, hboot and radio, I know it should be easy to do, but i just don't want to.
So i thought that maybe i can flash back to the stock rom, then make the offical HTC update to 4.3 sense 6 (should also flash newest firmware right?) and then unlock the bootloader again, flash twrp and custom rom again.
Would that work? Is there something i have to pay attention to?
thx for any help!!!!

Since you don't want S-Off, that is your best option. I would follow closely @Mike1986 [GUIDE] Complete Flashing Guide | Rooting | Going Back To Stock it is for those who are S-On.
Thanks, I will follow the guide.
But I have one more question:
Can I do the official HTC update from the htc stock rom while I still have custom recovery and bootloader unlocked?
Can't find any any info if there is any risk involved not changing back first to stock recovery and bootloader relocked before doing the update.
I guess recovery will be overwritten by the official update?!?
You need stock recovery and locked bootloader to take updates

you don't need a locked bootloader to get an official ota update,however,you do need to flash a stock recovery !!.
I went through the ota update method to update my firmware as for some reason my htc one wouldn't s-off and I felt that it wasn't running as it should on custom roms with the old firmware.
I started off with a flashable zip -4.06.1540.2,developer edition then ota updates,always doing a nand backup of rom.
always pull the stock recovery image from the ota before updating...
i'm now running 5.11.1540.9 firmware and all custom roms are running good...
if you google 4.06.1540.2 dev edition flashable zip you should find it,if not,i can upload it too somewhere for you...
an official htc ota update changes your firmware and installs a stock recovery..
its a bit long winded this way,but,it was the only way for me !!

First thank you for sharing your experience.
When you say "zip -4.06.1540.2,developer edition" then you mean the rom, correct?
Why would you pull the stock recovery from the OTA before updating? What would be the consequence of leaving it in?
...
so i would download the odexed stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48111304
and afterwards flash the according recovery.img, correct?
i guess it is no problem that my phone (and their for the bootloader) was not a developer edition

yeah,it's a full flashable rom,that can be installed by custom recovery,when I say pull the stock recovery,i mean copy it to a folder on your pc,always best to have the matching recovery for your stock rom.
I have CyanogenMod 11 made for the D415 LG L90, but I want to go back to stock because of screen problems and video problems. Can I use the flashing KDZ method with, say, KDZ 10e to go back to Stock Kitkat? Is there any extra steps or precautions while flashing from Cyanogen to Stock? I do not have an SD card, so I cannot flash a ROM through recovery.

I know how to flash an offline KDZ, but is it possible to revert back to stock (10c/10e KDZ) through this method without bricking my device?
So since the firmware updates are not 'flashable' yet via TWRP, am I right in assuming that one can only update one's firmware if one goes back to stock?? I know this will change but trying to understand the current options for flashing/installing firmware updates for the P9Plus (rooted), thanks
just flash original recovery over twrp than update as normal, then flash twrp/root after that.
thanks, any idea where to get original recovery?
I found in twrp topic or you can find in Rayglobe tool
Hey Guys i wonder, i'm at NcX, but as it isn't supported any longer, i'm considering in go back to my Stock firmware backup.
If i do so, will the ROM update it self even though my recovery is TWRP? Or it need the stock recovery?
yes i am looking too
