Will it ever be possible to flash flashcast and or the Eureka rom to a chromecast that has been updated? I have a rootable serial number but updated before knowing about any of this and it sucks.

Sorry, not at this time.
If/when a method to flash units with firmware newer than 12072, it should apply to all units, as it's really the firmware build that matters. The serial number just gives a reasonably good indicator of whether it comes with the original 12072 firmware build.

Two days ago I purchased the Z1 from a local retailer (Tel Aviv, Israel), not realizing that it was the C6902.
The problem is that its customization version is 1278-3595_R1A (software: 1272-6084_13.1.G.2.257.)
I hadn't realized that .257 cannot be rooted prior to updating to it because the OS prompted me to shortly after I first booted it up, so I was hoping to downgrade to .535, root, and update it to 4.3, and then install a custom ROM.
However, I gather from the thread with all the FTF collections (here) that no customization versions of 1278-3595_R1A exists. Does this meant that I can neither root nor install a custom OS?
(why I figured this is important: here.)
In conclusion, I assume that C9603 will get better and quicker dev support, so should I return my current C9602 and purchase the C9603 online (Ebay) while I still can?
Bonus question: why the hell does the C6902 even exists if it's just the C6903 without the LTE? Better to have it and not use it -- no?
(Note: LTE, or any form of 4G networks, including WiMix, is and will be unavailable here in Israel for the foreseeable future - at least to the general public.)
Thank you.
Just noticed that the title should be "C6903 vs. C6902 + Customization Version". I mistakenly misplaced the two digits in C6903.
Even ordering online has some problems. but any replacement to your phone is better!

That's what I'm unsure of - hence the pilgrimage for confirmation of my as of yet unverified findings thus far.

You can flash ANY C6902 firmware.
I thought that there is something wrong preventing you from flashing another firmware ftf on your phone.

Ah, then it seems I misunderstood where the different variations stand in terms of compatibility. I'll be installing the IN version soon and see how things go.
Thank you for the clarification.
I have an unlocked MOTO x and im on 4.4.2?? isnt 4.4.4 out now?
No, the last version is 4.4.3 and if you really need to update (there is no reason to do) first install a retail version firmware for your X model. (If there)
Here's the complete firmware list.

First, the person who answered you should have asked which device you are using (model number), and who your carrier is.
Second, the majority of us here don't recommend that you flash another carrier's firmware to your phone. Many things can go wrong, and if you ever revert back to the correct firmware, you have to use extreme caution to make sure you don't flash an OLDER firmware version to the phone, which can brick it!!! If you choose to flash a different firmware to your phone, do it at your own risk. You could end up with a paperweight.
Third, both the 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 updates are very MINOR updates. It isn't worth bricking just because you aren't patient, simply to (possibly) get another hour or two of battery life or a few small bug fixes.
I highly recommend that you simply be patient. Your carrier WILL release 4.4.4 eventually, and at that time you can simply take the over-the-air update assuming you haven't modified your /system or flashed custom recovery.
the update won't be noticeable to the users. it is bug fixes and a few tweaks. better to wait for 5.0 to come out

Slight correction... that is NOT the complete firmware list.
That site contains a copy of any SBF found or leaked... Sometimes it takes weeks after an OTA is pushed before a leaked SBF of that version is found and posted (think ATT 4.4.2)
They are "leaks" in the fact that they are not meant to be released to the public. As for how they "make it out" to end up on that site, well that is a different discussion that I don't want to get into.
That site is neither owned, operated, nor supported by Motorola.

also if you have had a locked phone PREVIOUSLY but unlocked it later, and you are using a carrier thats not the orginal one, I think that could also factor in as to why you are not getting updates. For example, if you had a moto x for ATT and you unlocked it to use for TMOBILE, you might have a delayed update or in some cases no update at all. Just my 2 cents.

It does not matter that your phone is unlocked. This is totally unrelated to receiving updates. Just FYI, NO ONE with a Moto X has received 4.4.4 yet (except MAYBE soak-testers). Only a handful of carriers are on 4.4.3.
The 4.4.3 upgrade was CANCELLED do to a bug being found, and instead, all the variants that hadn't released 4.4.3 are going to be upgraded STRAIGHT to 4.4.4 (skipping 4.4.3 entirely).
I don't think you understand just how much testing has to go into these upgrades before they are released.
Here is an EXCELLENT article that should explain it for you. The part you are interested in is called "The Big Hold-Up"
http://gizmodo.com/5987508/why-android-updates-are-so-slow
I am an unhappy user of the 5.0.2 ROM and I am planning to downgrade to the original 4.4.4. Which ROM is the right form my phone?
My current 5.0.2 config is:
My Baseband version is:
MSM8626BP_1032.3105.93.00R EMEA_DSDS_CUST
My kernel version is:
3.4.42-g48d3b85
My system version is
22.21.28.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03 reteu
Build number
LXB22.46-28
I bought the phone in Greece.
It would be great if we collect info to build a map of what stock ROMs are out there, and for what regions.

I checked the link but found no reference for reteu. I see many posts of how to downgrade but very few of them actually mention the region. I have seen so far at least three regional labels: retin for India, retus for US and reteu for EU.
What I am hoping for is to revert my phone to the EXACT state it was when I bought it, which means it hsould also be able to receive OTA updates if needed. I am wondering if this is possible.

There is no reteu. At least not for download. Since your baseband is dsds, just go with the dsdsall version.

I know I can't use the OTA update, so how do I update?
This totally depends on what your build number is.
If your ROM version is G925VVRU1AOC3 then follow this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...nt/trailblazer101-lightlycleaned-rom-t3128758
If your ROM version is G925VVRU1AOE2 and you desire the latest build (which breaks root), I recomend you manually update after you follow this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
Let me know if you had any issues

Does any one know a way to root with current update in place? To be honest I don't much care about the Knox trip. I want to install new roms and I never want to see samsung music player

As far as I am aware, there is no way to root the latest build, and likely never will be. If you read many of the threads, they all say the same thing, namely the OF1 build breaks root, has a kernel date that patches the exploit used in PingPong root, and makes it impossible to downgrade the firmware. There are plenty of ways to trip knox, yet none of them will root the latest build of the Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge. On the plus side, the latest build does have radio improvements.
Will there be any rooted ROMs after OE2?

If I use Odin to install One UI, will it root my phone and is the lastest update already available to install because I'm finding ways to install it and it says install an early build, and will it go to the lastest build or will it be in the early build?

Ok. You're new here, so I'll help you out. But next time, search for your answers before starting a new thread. We already have at least two threads on how to install the One UI Beta, and another thread that's is a discussion of the beta and I cludes instructions on how to get it.
Main thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/note-9-pie-alpha-t3849980
And these two are threads other people started stating how they installed it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/how-one-ui-beta-verizon-note-9-t3877076
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/how-to-beta-update-note-9-u1-t3875949
You need to read those threads to understand what you're doing, the pros and cons, and how to downgrade if needed. And please for the love of God, if you install it and have some bugs, don't start a new thread. Post those issues in the main discussion. One. We've probably already discussed it and maybe even found a solution. Two, it makes it easier to track.
Ok, so you have an ATT Note 9. You have two options for Pie. One, you can flash the leaked C builds and keep all your carrier features and bloat. Such as WiFi calling, VoLTE, RCS messaging, and all those lovely ATT apps, and that gorgeous ATT boot animation and jingle.
Or, you can use the modified ODIN to flash the U1 firmware and get on the official BETA Z builds. This will be a clean OS with no carrier bloat, apps, or boot animations. But it will mean no WiFi calling or VoLTE, etc.
If you go the C build route to keep carrier features, you will have to use ODIN to downgrade to Oreo each time you want to sideload the newest leak.
If you go the official Beta route and don't care about those carrier features, then you will use ODIN once to flash the U1 firmware and then you can update via OTA each time an update is pushed.
Which one do you want to do?
