[Q] How to upgrade to android 4.4 kit kat? - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've read lot of posts about Flash ROMs for this phone, but none helped me enough.
Can someone explain how can i upgrade for andoid 4.4 kit kat? I know that there are a ROM for that and i can get it and the gapps for it, i don't know how i flash them. I read about Clockworkmod and Odin.
Can someone describe step by step how to flash ROMs to my device? My phone has andoid 4.1.3 and root done.
Best regards

trouble upgrading to 4.4.2

I'm currently on 4.3 and I am not rooted (anymore). I'm trying to upgrade to 4.4.2 but when I check for software updates in settings, it says that I am currently up to date and I can check again in 24 hours. I'm definitely on 4.3.. I'm at a complete loss. Any information would help, Thanks in advance!
Check out mazdamiata's thread in general section. Just a heads up too, you cant go back to 4.3 if you do the official ota.
If you want to update to the official kit Kat follow this guide. You won't have ability to root if you do.

If you want a custom rom install safestrap. There's guides in the general section.

[Q] [Stock ROM] moto X 1052 Retail EU 4.4.4

Hi,
i lost my all data and backup STOCK ROM, then is was trying to unroot using RSD lite it shows error i.e Downgrade Security reason error.
can any one post stock for my moto x 1052 Retail EU versions 4.4.4.
:crying:
Thanks

I'm not sure that the files have been released for manual flashing yet.
Can you be more specific on the current state of your device... It's wiped and unusable? What have you tried flashing exactly? Did you try to flash an older version of android?
And what All have you tried to do.
And what version were you on before all this?
And how were you rooted exactly?
Just trying to see the whole picture here. Need all this info to really help... Hopefully.
At this point, you may be waiting until the files are out for flashing.... Unless your answers to these questions change something. ?

I suggest you not do anything else until you've researched this a bit more.
No, you can't downgrade safely. You could brick your device trying, or later by taking an OTA.
I don't, and many others, ever suggest downgrading. It's very dangerous and has left many with serious problems, or even unusable devices.
That said. Why are you trying to unroot exactly?
Also... You can only flash the 4.4.4 files now. They probably aren't available yet so you will need to be patient. If CM is working for you now, that's great.... But you may be stuck like that until the SBF files are out for 4.4.4....then you can flash it with RSDLite or fastboot.
I don't see you have any other safe options.

There's only one cm rom in the development section. And unless there's been a recent change, it's been discontinued, and has bugs. ?

How many phones have you bricked? I'm sorry, but I remember many of your posts with big problems in the past. You seem to ignore most advice. No offense intended.... But it's true.
Cause this one will brick if you ever take an ota. Practically guaranteed.
Hope you realize that? ?
Also.... Everyone gets lucky occasionally.... But the X section is filled with threads from people who didn't get lucky.
So please never recommend anyone try it. You don't want to be responsible for them being unlucky and destroying their toy. Right? ?

i don t recommend it like we speak in another thread.
i just tell that this is possible.
i bricked the device for others reasons and not for downgrade.
but like u say if the people don t know how to do it or what s the risk to do it : DON T DOWNGRADE.

You have a fitting user name. ?
Seriously, with some people not knowing what they are doing... And with communication misunderstandings due to language barriers and what not...
If someone asks you can they safely downgrade.... Just say no. ?
Cause it's never safe. You're adventure isn't necessarily over either.... If you take an ota accidentally or on purpose... You might be phone shopping. ?
That's all I'll say on that.

To have Loolipop you need to install a custom ROM
