I am still in warranty period of my Zuk Z1. The current Cyanogen OS has so many bugs. And I read positive reviews on cyanogen mod 13. As I looked for how to's I find it that they unlock OEM to flash the latest version of cyanogen recovery. So my question is, can I download the CyanogenMod and Google gaps and install it from the build in cyanogen recovery so that I don't have to unlock OEM. And if I can do so am I still able to update after the official OTA update released.
Thank you

Hi,
So I just got my first smartphone ever yesterday and been pretty much tinkering with it the whole day long (I'm very slow/newbie with these things).
I unlocked the bootloader, got a recovery image TWRP and then rooted it with SuperSU.
Since then I've made a titanium backup and nanodroid backup through TWRP of everything.
And I've been checking out a few custom roms for Jelly Bean 4.2.2 the newest version I believe? And Android Revolution HD 11.0
seemed really nice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
But I found out that the OTA update Jelly Bean 4.2.2 for HTC One is coming out Really Really soon and I'm currently running 4.1.2. Is it possible for me to receive & install that update without any problems since I haven't flashed any custom roms?
Or will I need to unroot my phone, relock my bootloader and change my recovery image to the stock image? (And if so where can I get the stock image of HTC One?)
I've been on these forums like the whole day and it's very interesting and informative, but it's SO INCREDIBLY MUCH to take in. So I'm really sorry if these questions have been answered before. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
So far I love my phone though! superfast and supersmooth haha.
Well, I think you're one of the few people here who can read AND comprehend what's going on.
ARHD 11.5 is based on the official Taiwan release of Android 4.2.2; 2.24.709.1.
Decide whether you want official ROM release, which, as you meantioned, requires stock ROM and stock recovery to be able to receive and apply the OTA, or, custom ROMs, in which case, just flash the latest ARHD.
yes, inorder to get the OTA installed, need Stock recovery and stock rom.....
Thanks Guys!
Just one more question.
My current firmware is 1.29.707.16.
And the latest ARHD is based on 2.24.401.1.
Would there be any issues if I flashed it? Or is it recommended that I flash that firmware before flashing the rom?
Or do I need another firmware entirely (2.24.709.1), since I'm using the asian/taiwan firmware and not the european one.
My phone has S-off and SuperCID, if that makes any difference in the matter.
Once again thanks for all your help!
Here's the skinny...I'm on bootloader version 30.b4 I have tried out CM12.1 after installing CM11 and rebooting. CM12.1 is working great except for a few inconsistencies. I want to upgrade as far as I can and have a working device. I have not flashed any boot.img files or modem files or done any alterations to the partition tables except what the official CM12.1 (following their method of installing CM11, rebooting, then flashing 12.1.
Here are my thoughts.
Flash the stock 4.4.2 sbf and OTA as far as I can and be where I end up.
Flash the official .sbf for LP5.1.1 and update bootloader, then try to get CM 12.1 installed again and hope it works better.
Go back to stock rooted 4.4.2 with xPosed and love it,
?..... What should I do and why?
I don't want to end up stuck somewhere that sucks and I need your input.
Thanks.
Hi,
I own a Motorola Moto g2 (2014) Indian Version, 16 gb and i am running a stock firmware 5.0.2, rooted and bootloader unlocked. and i want to install a Custom ROM, So i went on to Youtube and find out how to unlock the bootloader and install Super SU.
After that i came to know about this site, and thought of flashing CM 13, and so in order to do that it was required to update bootloader, since it won't work on bootloader 4.4
So, i followed the instructions clearly and updated the bootloader and the TWRP Recovery , Both are successfull.
Now comes the problem part for me:
So when i browsed the xda developers site in the moto g 2014 thread , i came across this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/6-0official-indian-ota-zip-captured-t3299550
It said
So to everyone here. After updating to 6.0 I don't think it's a good idea to downgrade to 5.0.2 and update it with stagefright update over the air.
I made it and it hardbricked my phone.
5.0.2 bootloader version is 48.83
6.0 bootloader version is 48.86
So, don't downgrade your bootloader, it can cause hardbrick!
so, i got afraid, since i am going to install cm 13 nightly which is unstable and the bootloader already updated, will i be having problems when i restore it back to stock 5.0.2
and would it be safe if i installed cm 12.1 after updating the booloader or will it hard brick my phone. (since cm 12.1 is stable version compared to cm 13)
P.S Can someone post a link on how to backup before installing the Custom ROM, since i always see this step:
that is to make a backup using TWRP and then use advanced wipe to wipe the device, the only question is won't the adavanced wipe deletes the backup folder ?
And Is there any stable ROMS for moto g that runs marshmallow, + is it possible to install multi ROM twrp and Install CM 13 Along with the Stock Android
Hi all,
Just need some quick advice. I am no stranger to unlocking and rooting android devices but just to be safe I wanted to check. My I9305 is an Unlocked EE version currently running build number ktu84p.i9305xxufoc1 android version 4.4.4. All of the rooting guide I have looked at are for build number ktu84p.i9305xxufnl1 which I believe is the international firmware. Can I root my device on my build number or do I need to flash ktu84p.i9305xxufnl1. I wish to install a CM 13 on my device.
Many thanks

no need to root if you want to flash a custom rom. Just flash a custom recovery and boot into it as it will get overwritten by stock recovery upon first boot
Hi guys,
I flashed CM 12.1 almost a year ago and now I would like to give the phone to a relative and I would like for it to have stock rom and to be OTA update-able. I've read dozens of topics and still not sure what are the exact steps to doing this without any errors or softbricks. Some topics mention to skip fastboot of motoboot.img others don't.
The phone had European firmware and it's the dual sim version. I just want it to be as it came inside the box and to be able to update it to the latest version of android (6.0 I guess is the last for XT1068)
I know people got errors after downgrading and making any OTA update so.. that's why I'm asking.
Thanks!
LE: my bootloader is unlocked, it's version 4883 and I also installed TWRP recovery.
Also I skipped motoboot etc.... and after the Stock OTA Update my second Moto G2 is hard bricked very nice. So, please flash 6.0 directly
