I upgraded to LP by Odin flash G900TUVU1DOB1 and then installed [ROM]ViSiON-X US TMO[Android L 5.0][G900TUVU1DOB1] Phone is working fine.
I'd like to revert to my former 4.4.2 "Xtreme Dynamic Kat 1.1" It is a Safestrap AT&T rom that ran on 900T but is flashed without Safestrap and TWRP on 900T.
Would it be ok to just restore my 4.4.2 TWRP backup? Do I have to Odin back to 4.4.2 Firmware first? I don't want to do that and lose Internal Storage or the ability to easily go back and forth between roms .
My first thought is no. I can't restore a 4.4.2 rom over the LP bootloader but I really don't know.

Well, i'm new in this android/root stuff, but to have something to begin with:
I tried rooting my device(i9505) in 4.3(using that "knox-untouching" way) and, it not only didn't worked (can't use SuperSU), it also installed a custom recovery on my device (triggering everything it could) and know i can't OTA.
So I was thinking, can I just download the OTA and install it over ODIN, then wipe data? Or i have to download 4.3, flash it over, wipe, and than install 4.4.2? (For the record, i can't find my 4.3 ZTO version. Even in sam mobile)
Hi I have big problem. I backed up all my apps and data on 5.0.2 stock with stock Backup & Restore app and after updgrade to stock 5.1.1 I can't restore them. What should I do now? I have rooted 5.1.1 if it matters.
Flash the recovery Backup you made before flashing 5.1.1 and use another backup tool.
Or you can try your luck in the official Sony forums.
Maybe you could find the old backup.apk which Sony used in 5.0.2 and try to install this on 5.1.1 and then restore?
Hey, I successfully flashed CM 12.1 on my Moto E XT1022. Before doing that I ,using twrp, made a backup of unlocked+rooted stock rom 4.4.4.
Now I want to revert back to 4.4.4 Kitkat from CM 12.1. Will the following procedure brick my phone ?
1 - reboot into recovery TWRP
2 - wipe data,system,cache,dalvik, internal storage
3 - restore STOCK ROM BACKUP using TWRP
4 - reboot
Restoring won't brick your phone. You'll be just fine restoring a backup.

The best way to downgrade to 4.4.4 KitKat is flashing via Fastboot. This mode is universal and highly recommended. Most people do downgrade by him.
Care to downgrade the KitKat 4.4.2 and then upgrade to 4.4.3 KitKat, this action to update via OTA an earlier version of the factory (4.4.4) can bricked your device. In Brazil this action has 100% chance of bricked Moto E.
Just download the ZIP of Stock 4.4.4 of its model, within several files but you only need to open the file .bat that contains all installation codes. If you are not the file with the codes within just search here at XDA has.
I'm confused on a few things,
I once had Cyanogenmod with Marshmellow, after updating to an OTA Cyanogen version I got stuck into bootloop and for some reason I couldn't get back to Cyanogenmod in TWRP recovery and the only nandroid backup was B331 which is only Lollipop Stock which i'm currently on. Now I just want to start from scratch and get back to latest Cyanogenmod with Marshmellow. Where do I start? I have Current Build KIW-L24C567B331 that is currently Lollipop and I wiped my internal SD. When I try and look for Stock OTA updates it says no updates, the update client has NEVER worked on this phone. I have currently TWRP recovery on it. Do I have to go to a certain build to get back to Marshmellow? then go to Marshmellow Stock then to Cyanogenmod?
I tried following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/guide-kiw-l24-to-stock-t3318268 but I don't understand which stock I should go to and the instructions aren't very clear (maybe i'm just dumb)
Another question: for each Custom ROM I install do I go back to a certain stock build then flash the custom ROM?
Much help appreciated,
Thanks
Are you in stock Marshmallow before you flashed CM?

if you are saying that you have twrp, with lollipop emui on, due to twrp, you will never get any update,
since you want marshmallow, i think you need to be upgraded to marshmallow firmware,
to do so, you need to download the marshmallow build, generally the b331 firmware in the link you provided...(dated:10/07/2016)
go ahead and download that firmware and follow the procedure, in the end, you will be left with the marshmallow emui build with stock recovery on (eligible for ota and warranty )...
now, since your bootloader is still unlocked(i guess), you can reboot to bootloader and fastboot twrp recovery(latest twrp is recomended)..
and now, you are pretty much good to go.... download latest cm13 nightly and install... enjoy
please do perform the steps carefully:good:
AND NO, YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO BACK TO A STOCK BUILD TO FLASH CERTAIN CUSTOM ROMS
So I'm still on 6.0.1 and I want to update to nougat but I've heard lots and lots of complaints about it running bad on the s6 so I'm wondering if I update to nougat and don't like it can i go back to marshmallow? If it matters my phone model is an sm-g925w8.
Hi! Do you have a rooted phone with a recovery? Go to the recovery and make a backup. If you don't like Nougat you'll simply restore your backup using the recovery.
You can also downgrade by flashing a 4part firmware via Odin. I tried it myself.
What do you mean by 4 part firmware?
I am rooted and have twrp installed. Backing up everything in twrp and restoring it will downgrade back to nougat?
