Well first off how did you upgrade to 5.0.1? Did you take the OTA? If you did then you can not down grade.

You will not be able to flash a recovery. Only people with the old MDK boot loader can.

My recommendation to you mate is that you root using the desktop version of king root, replace it with SuperSU, install flash fire beta, then install Strang5Litre ROM. Probably one of the best most stable Roms (and the only one out there at the moment) Everything you need is in the general section

Hi all, I have rooted my mothers lg p769 tmobile phone with the lgpwn.apk and removed some bloat and have no recovery yet. I want to install a custom recovery cwm twrp whichever is considered stable at this moment in time.
thanks in advance, I'm a little short on time right now is all. shes leaving on the second.
device info:
android version is 4.1.2
baseband version L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1305.00
kernel version 3.0.31
software version P76920h
You need to unlock the bootloader before installing twrp. And that's not easy.

why is it not easy? edited.. this phone . Happpy New year.
thanks in advance for a good guide to follow specifically for flashing twrp after bl unlock. the guides I found are probably good but I am not certain.
Currently on Jelly Beans 7 with MDK and using TWRP recovery on my Verizon S4. I've been using this for so long without much desire to update..
Starting to get the urge to update again.
What am I missing staying on mdk 4.2.2?
And if I do decide to upgrade, is TWRP still the recovery of choice?
What's my upgrade path from here? Flash back to stock mdk and take OTA, or move directly to a rooted 4.3 ROM?

I agree. I wouldn't take the OTA. There are 4.3 and 4.4 based ROMs that you can flash. Once you upgrade, you'll be stuck on whatever build Samsung issues (right now, that's 4.3).

You should just flash a 4.3 ROM. Search the android development thread. There's no need to loose your unlocked bootloader.

Just flash a 4.3 ROM like Hyperdrive RLS13... You will be very happy.

MDK doesn't have an unlocked bootloader... They just have an exploit that allows a workaround.
I agree with everyone above. Don't take the OTA. Since you have MDK you also have a custom recovery and can flash many ROMs. There are many flavors on 4.3 and 4.4 available currently. Read about them, the available features, and such. Then decide what you want.
OP: Should I upgrade from MDK??
XDA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Fyar4wJ3-Y
We know the bootloader isn't actually unlicked on mdk.... I think that's just lamans terms so people know what they have lol. Seriously no offense to the op at all.... Its just amazing how some people are running custom recoveries and ROMs on MDK s4's and then think of taking ota's

Just in case OP is confused I want to clarify that MDK is the bootloader. You want to preserve that because it allows the installation of custom recoveries. This is separate from the baseband which may also be labeled MDK. You can always update your Radio baseband without losing root, however you would not want to do this with an OTA. You would want to download this from xda as a flashable zip.
Hi,
When I first got my Verizon Galaxy Note 2, I joined the bandwagon and unlocked my phone.
Now I want to upgrade it to the latest firmware ROM, but I was wondering how I would go about doing this.
Currently, my android version says its 4.1.1. Do I just download a firmware for 4.3 or 4.4 and it would work? Or do I need to update the firmware first? And what's the best way to go about doing this?
Also, if someone could also recommend a ROM that is stable I would really appreciate it.
I'm sure these questions are asked millions of times, but reading them didn't really help me understand... Maybe I'm just too new at this stuff. Thanks again for all your help!
If you want stock and unlocked ...read this thread. It has all you need to know. It has the firmware and ROM you need and good instructions. If you want custom...there are many out there.......

Thanks for the reply!
Just one question to clarify.. I would need to install the firmware first using odin, then install the deodex using the TWRP?
Yes, the firmware is needed to have working Wifi. Good luck!!

Zv4 is kit Kat, not lollipop. Is that the build you are on, or is that the build in that post? Are you rooted?

Bump should still work for giving you custom recovery, but there is also a newer method for root and custom recovery.
There is a zv8 Rom that unlocks gsm for all carriers. Flashing the bone stock image may break your gsm unlock. I'm not sure what it would do since it won't be able to activate on Sprint.

I have the stock, rooted kdz H90120e installed on my unlocked LG V10 (H901).
Have been looking for a rooted version of T-Mobile's most recent OTA: H90120j...but, have only been able to find the original version that will restore root to my device.
Has anyone developed a rooted version?
Thanks, in advance!
