Hi all! I have a wifi nexus 7 (unlocked and rooted with smoothrom installed) if I want to go to 4.3 do I have to update the bootloader to 4.23? If I do update the bootloader will I still be able to use a 4.2.2 rom before flashing to a 4.3 rom?
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I am new here, so be gentle .....
My Xperia T (LT30p) is running stock Android 4.3, build 9.2.A.205.
I wanted to update it to Android 4.4 KitKat Omni ROM firmware, but can not find out how to root this build.
Any idea please?
I considered using the one click method from android.gs but my build is not listed.
HELP!
Thanks
Chris

Hey Guys!
So i am on a rooted pure edition 4.4.4 Moto X Pure Edition (XT1095).
I do get the OTA update for 5.0 but I have not downloaded it because I have rooted the phone. So my question is , can I do a complete unroot using SuperSu and then continue with the OTA?
Is that safe? If not , what is the best way to get to 5.0
Thanks

Should work just fine from 4.4.4 to 5.x It did on my 2013 Nexus 7 which was stock rooted + unlocked bootloader. The only thing I ever had to do was re-root after and you'll have to do the same. The same root method and file works on 5.0.........I just used it a couple weeks ago on my X which was on 5.0 out of the box because I just got it.
Once you're on 5.0 though it's more work to get updates. Google changed what they're looking for when checking the partitions (can't remember exactly what offhand) and now if any modifications have been made (rooted, added/removed system apps, etc.) the OTA's will fail. On my N7 I had to wait for the factory image to be released and I just flashed the system.img in fastboot. I'm not sure what will be needed on the X since the only images I see so far are for 4.4.4

[APP] Simple Recovery Switcher
I'm just wondering.. I installed AMG Evo9 a while ago, and I want to install a stock based rom which has Android 5.0
My phone is rooted and with Recovery installed, However I can't unlock its bootloader since it won't allow me to, meaning I can't flash any custom Kernel.
Can I install a 5.0 Stock based rom which has a higher compilation version? I mean 14.4.A.0.2xx or something? Or it's gonna brick my phone?
If I can do so, could someone explain me how?
Thanks in advance.

If i remember correctly you need to be on stock 5.1 before flashing 6.0+ ROMs to avoid modem compatibility problem (like no signal or no wifi).
After you do it it's simple, just flashing from TWRP any ROM and gapps you want
