When I upgraded from a rooted 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 i followed this recipe: forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155
Now I'm at 4.4.4 (23.0.1.A.0.167) and rooted and I want to update to 5.0.2. Is it possible to follow the proceedure I followed last time in the link above, or do I have to downgrade to 4.4.2 somehow and then upgrade to 5.0.2?
Any helpful answers appreaciated

Hi, sorry for my bad english, I'm from Mexico
Yes, you can do it (I made myself with the 23.1.A.0.726 Lollipop, the HK and US) and is working really fine
Just 2 thing in mind:
1.- You need root and working recovery (in your last rom, for example 4.4.4)
2.- The correct files to make the preroot: the supersu, the ftf and the dual recovery(this works with lollipop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606)

Hello all.
I have a 4.3 mk2 ROOTED -using Oden 1 year ago and not sure if locked or unlocked bootloader.
I am running stock touchWiz ROM, bootloader I545VRUEMK2, Kernal 3.4.0 Build JSS15J
Every morning it asks me to update OTA 4.4
I don't mind wiping all of my data.
What are the steps to update to 4.4.x?
I did a search and found this link to going from 4.3 mk2 to nc5, BUT IS THERE A NEWER VERSION OR WAY TO DO THIS?
IE 4.4.4 ???
Thanks in advance!

As per the thread title, I have a new Rogers Sgp621 on 23.0.1.A.30 (4.4.4) As it's Rogers device, the bootloader is not unlockable.
I understand the lollipop method - flash z3 system, root, etc, as per guides here. My question is, is all that necessary or is this stock KK firmware vulnerable to towelroot or other simple methods, and if so would it be easier to root this firmware, install recovery, then flash a prescription rooted lollipop? Or should I just upgrade normally and follow the instructions for rooting the latest firmware?
Hi All,
How to know if firmware can be downgraded or not. For example if am on firmware/Baseband G925IDVU1BOE3; is there a way to know if it can be downgradable to "G925IDVU1AOD1" or "G925IDVU1AOE2" before hand.
FYI: I downgraded from G925IDVU1BOE3 to G925IDVU1AOE2 only after doing it practically via odin. So the question is: Is there a way to know if we can downgrade firmware without doing it practically. I asked this question in other post and people are not much aware of it. So thought of starting a new thread.
Also how to know that we can't downgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.0.2?
Thanks ,
Richa

Hi,
The downgrade patch/exploit is fixed in 5.1.1 and there is no way to downgrade it. (As I read in few posts including Ping Pong root OP). If u are in 5.0.2 then u can downgrade to any firmware within 5.0.2.

How to upgrade to lollipop from my rooted ls990 running 4.4.2 kitkat on zv4 software..please help.
Easiest way is probably to flash the pre-rooted ZVB ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/barebum-zvb-t3212465
Or, if you want absolutely, completely stock rooted, check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...990-zvb-root-method-zvb-rooted-stock-t3211878
my baseband version is : G7102DDUBNK1
build number is: KOT49H.G7102DDUBOB1
i am from bangladesh.
can i just follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/general/how-to-downgrade-galaxy-grand-2-sm-t2857767
or should i flash with other KK firmware before downgrading? please confirm me about the full process of downgrading from NK1 . i've been suffering with KK
can't play any game smoothly.
this kitkat firmware is a pile of sh*t.
