Can I use a KDZ file to flash back to stock? - LG Optimus L90

I am currently running CyanogenMod 11 on my LG L90 D415, and I would like to go to stock Lollipop, but I don't have an SD Card on me to use recovery back to stock and then flash to stock Lollipop, but can I directly flash, say, 10e kdz and then go to the Lollipop kdz flash?

Yes you can. You can even flash Lollipop 20B kdz instead of KitKat 10E.
You will lose all your data, ROOT, and custom recovery.
If you have approximately 1GB of free memory on internal storage you can download FlashableSTOCK created by me and flash a clean stock Lollipop from your recovery. You will still have unlocked bootloader and custom recovery and you can obtain ROOT from TWRP. You will also need a Lollipop BOOTSTACK.
All the files you can find here:

developer edition & twrp flashing

I want to flash back to stock 4.2.2 while still keeping twrp. Is this possible with the stock images provided with Motorola? Can I flash those .zips with twrp or is there another method required?

[Q] Updating firmware without USB

I want to update to the latest firmware on my M7, but one of the USB data pins is broken so I'm not able to use fastboot.
What's the best procedure to update it?
I was thinking of using a Guru Reset rom to flash a stock OS and stock recovery, and then OTA update all the way up to Lollipop, which will update my firmware along the way. The only problem with that is that I'll be stuck on stock forever because I won't be able to flash TWRP through terminal without root.
I know that OTA updates use stock recovery to flash the firmware.zip inside the OTA. Is it possible to modify the OTA.zip to just flash the firmware?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can root any htc firmware using the root tool that therootninja provides on his website
Once you do that you can flash the stock recovery img or twrp using flashify and use the terminal functions within twrp

[Q] OTA softbrick

Hello i have a Motorola XT1068 unlocked, rooted etc. 4.4.4. I decided to upgrade it to 5 OTA, so I unrooted it and installed the official android 5 rom. Now it's stuck on bootloop. What do I do?
Did you install a custom recovery? You have to be on stock recovery to upgrade.
Also systemchanges (deleted/frozen systemapps,adaway host) have to be reverted. Install full stock rom again,there is a tool by @reefuge (look in his signature) to do so and then try to update again.
Sent from my XT1068 using XDA Free mobile app
If I restore to stock do I erase custom recovery as well?
Check this out,you can install 5.0.2 directly or 4.4.4:

From the description:
You will recieve all future OTA updates.
So everything will be stock again incl. recovery.
In other cases:You can extract the stock recovery.img from the original firmware and flash it, it will overwrite the custom recovery.

VS980 Stock Recovery

Is it possible to flash a stock recovery img via Flashify or do you have to do a total stock restore via TOT or KDZ method to get stock recovery back?Ive googled so much im getting the looks like automated traffic message from google and i still cant find the answer.I rooted stock 27A via stump root and installed twrp via AutoRec.Ive successfully flashed several Roms and am currently back on my rooted stock nand.
What I'm trying to do is flash stock 27A recovery back so i can OTA to lollipop.Ive modified no other system files in my stock nand other than root and obviously TWRP.Theoretically i should be able to restore stock recovery and thus gaining the ability to take the OTA.
Im aware of the various other methods to do this ,I'm only interested in whether i can flash a stock recovery img via flashify and if so does anyone have a copy they'd be willing to share?Im not a noob by any means but LG is a new area for me.Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

How do I get to 20o from rooted stock 20i?

Obviously I can't do it OTA, and all the ROMs that are 20o say you have to already be on it.
Solution?
Thanks
from 20i.. download KDZ LGUP use refurbished option. the do the same for root. and recovery. use adb commands to install twrp then install twrp image. then download flshable superUS zip. and your done. search for KDZ.
Will that work if I'm on 20i but on a aosp rom?
yes
