Need lgnpst for the Optimus g.
If you can't take OTA over air you may need this to update your RPM/TZ
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230994
Without updating RPM/TZ you won't be able use a lot of the newer roms. If you have no wish to use anything beside stock ics and jb 4.1.2 you may be able to get away with just following this

You need to download LGNPST and the Bins for Creating those partitions required and installing TWRP recovery.
Now after that , simply mount this zip flashable on sd card , and flash it using recovery. If it works , then you'll be left with a rooted phone with unlocked bootloader.
If you flash the stock firmware through LGNPST , most likely you will loose rot access and unlocked bootloader.
now wat??
Okay so now I will be rooting my phone with framaroot...then Wat??? Any simple! war of upgrading the android version??
help here
I came through this app called ROM installer in play store...can I just install the stock official jelly bean through this??

If you are only trying to update to official jb and do not need root or custom recovery you would use the file linked in your first post with lgnpst program.

No if you unzip that file it is a tot file. Are you rooted with custom recovery installed? Also please link to the installer so I can see how it works.

You will need to unzip the file from g33k3r and rename from tot to bin for use with lgnpst.

You need to be rooted to use the installer, personally I stay away from those kind of apps. You could use the file from g33k3r with lgnpst which will be stock jb with no root and locked bootloader which means you cannot modify or delete bloatware without getting security error softbrick. Or you can use the teenybin with lgnpst then flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067871&highlight=snowleopardjb which will be stock jb with root and unlocked bootloader, if you want to delete bloat or try custom ROMs in the future you will be all set.

Doing it this way you still need to root and unlock. Using teenybin and rooted zip accomplishes all of that.

Teeny unlocks boot loader and installs twrp, but will not give root. Any ROM you would flash with twrp will come prerooted.
Android 4.4.2
HTC Sense Version 5.5
Software Version 2.61.401.3
Rooted with SuperSU
Unsecure Kernel
Deodexed
MD5: f21e16a4fea92b514d7b20ad44d07607
Stock_Rooted_GSM_2.61.401.3.zip
How to install
Roms only wipes caches and formats system . I would recommend wiping data too
1. Download Rom to internal or external storage
2. Boot to Recovery
3. Make a backup
4. (Wipe all) Flash Rom (I would not recommend trying to flash this over JB)
5. Reboot system
Thanks Dsixda for Android Kitchen
Thanks Trickdroid for parts of the script
Thanks to Pradeep/Andhrl/Farazhassan for dumps/various files/backups
To Other Devs, feel free to use this as a base for your own ROMs.
I have no intentions of adding any mods to this ROM. This is merely a base for other devs to customize for their own builds. I do not plan on doing any firmware update zips/write-ups, so please don't ask.

You can go to stock completely but it's de-odexed so OTA's would not install
so i could flash this rom
install stock recovery
remove root from this rom after flashing
remove tampered banner
lock bootloader again
then its stock without ota support right ?
or does the thread owner has the stock not rooted secure boot and not deodexed laying around somewhere too ??
would you upload it ?

You should find the RUU for your specific device. If you are unlocked and S-OFF you can RUU back to what ever version you can find then take the OTA's.

This a custom recovery flashable rom zip. You need to RUU back to stock in order to get any HTC updates. No custom recovery rom will allow you to get factory updates. You must have stock recovery.

There's currently no way to root KK on this device without CWM. If you don't have it, only way is to revert to JB, root your device and install CWM. Then flash KK via CWM.
And you really shouldn't post your question in 3 different threads. No need to swamp this forum.

If we, the P715 users, flash KK via CWM, are we going to lose root permissions and the access to CWM recovery? Do you have any links for a rom.zip file where in we can flash it via CWM? if you dont know any, well thankyou at least.

The procedure should be the following:
- Install CWM
- Flash the ROM zip via CWM
- Flash SuperSu zip via CWM
- Reboot
Then you'll get the rooted ROM. No harm to CWM this way.
Regarding ROM for your device + SuperSu zip, you can find both in this post.

Well, I can say that the KK ROM is a bit less stable comparing to the JB one and a little more buggy (led not working is really annoying). If you don't want any specific KK feature, I'd suggest you wait for a more stable ROM.

Don't see a reason why not. However, once you have CWM installed, before upgrading to KK, make a nandroid backup from CWM, so you'll be able to revert if you encounter any issues with KK.

I restored after upgrading via TWRP Flashable ZIP (not via AdB fastboot) and restored my kk backup successfully.
In my thought the bootloader upgrade and downgrade only happnes when u flash ROM via Fastboot, so u can downgrade by flashing Stock LP flashable zip, but flash at ur own risk
Did u flashed the soak test ota zip, and then were u able to restore the nandroid backup [kitkat] successfully without any problem? Thats all I want to know..

Tried to find but there isn't any. The only way to upgrade I see is first flash the stock 4.4.4 firmware and then flash the soak test ota. In this way there could be some possibility of hard brick while downgrading or by any other method. Thats why I don't wanna upgrade in this way, I better stay with Kitkat and wait till someone come up with a flashable stock pure lollipop rom

Ive been trying to figure out how to go about rooting my tablet but since I am new at this stuff I just want to make sure I dont **** up
My questions are:
1. My tablet is 5.0.2 atm, as far as I know I have to downgrade to be able to root?
2. If I need to downgrade I believe I need a FTF file, I have a LTE version which is bought in sweden. Do I need a specifik FTF file for my country or can I use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741233to downgrade my tablet?
3. Can i still use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792056 to root my device after I downgraded the firmware or is it outdated? If its outdated is there any updated guide I can use?
Any help is appreciated!

1. There is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461. But it ain´t give proper root and there is also some security concerns with it but your decision.
2. Yes. You need FTF file which is 4.4.2 firmware for you device. Latest rootable is 17.1.2.A.0.314. Here is download link for SGP 521 if you want. https://mega.co.nz/#!cN5ykLrL!0w38j4lWIHFm1rZdwexScG9Cpz2BghrSZPpLRkyTcL8 . However your link should work also. If you only use it for rooting it don´t have to be for your region.
3. Your link would work for rooting properly. However there is other methods too.
4. After you achieved root just install custom recovery for you device and flash latest prerooted firmware for your device with it and you are good.

There is no need to unlock bootloader if you just want to root your device. Bootloader unlocking is needed if you want to try custom kernels or roms that use custom kernels. And yes this work for your device also.

OK so with a locked bootloader I can downgrade to 4.4.2 for my region model root using kingroot..? Then install a custom recovery without having an unlocked bootloader then flash Pre rooted ftf lollipop ROM build. Is the updated kernel and firmware in the Pre rooted stock ROMs? Thanks.

Yes you can downgrade to 4.4.2 firmware with locked bootloader. After that you don´t need kingroot to root your device because @[NUT]´s dualrecovery pc installer can root your device before it install custom recovery. After that you can flash prerooted firmware (= .zip file) with custom recovery. Usually prerooted stock roms has whole firmware including kernel. Their also include SuperSu and custom recovery. And there is no need to unlock your bootloader in any step for this unless you want to do that.
OK so I flashed a ftf file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3061431 I don't think its right as its for HK etc. A 4.4.2 ftf. 17.1.a.2.402 HK/sa/as/kw.
I was on 23.1.A.1.28 in the UK as O2 UK being the 4g network. But according to that thread the 23.1.a.1.28 I was on is generic HK so I'm confused. How can I get back to my original then? Thanks

I have tried both ways. Including ta partition and excluding it. Both works just fine for me.

OK thanks I did it without the ta partition like suggested but wasn't sure if it was 100% correct. Should all be fine though. I'm currently now rooted and all fine but what I want to do is have a Pre rooted flashable zip of my ftf I've made so it is my actual stock ROM I'm running. I've looked into the prfcreator but don't wanna do it and run the risk of bricking my z2 tab. Have you used prfcreator? I guess all I need is my ftf file to use. The most update supersu zip I want. And then I need to somehow have the xzdualrecovery.zip but not sure if that's all I need or if I need the current Sony signed kernel or what. Thanks

Must admit reading up more looks pretty straight forward as I just use NUTz xzdualrecovery flashable zip as the recovery zip. I'm just unsure on whether I would need to check kernel otakernel modem and ltalabel for our device. Thanks

Depending what you want but if you include everything else but signing you end up to fully functional prerooted firmware.

Sorry mate if I use my ftf and super su.zip and xzdualrecovery.flashable.zip then add all checks do I also have to get it signed? Or I can do all checks and not need signing and it will be fine...? Sorry mate first time and all just trying to work out different things thank you.

No need to be sorry. You don't need to sign your zip because TWRP can handle unsigned zip files just fine. There is nothing wrong to sign your zip file but some times it can cause problems. Your choice.
