I have [email protected] from CC. Unlocked and rooted I have TWRP. I can't up date to a newer version. I am on 4.3 w/ EmotionUI 2.0 Lite.
What do I need to do to restore to factory specks so I can use Huawei's Emotionui 3.0?

If I remember correctly CC still didn't bring out the 5.1 update (allegedly they were), so you're gonna have to follow this thread.

I had to get a replacement One max and it came with 4.4.2. I have seen a lot of older post saying it cant be done. I managed to get Viper 2.0 to work but nothing else. I cannot even get back to 4.4.2 with out boot-loops. My phone is rooted but not S-Off. Rum Runner kept failing, so I decided to install the older stock rom, and try it from there, and that is when I got in trouble. Is there anyway to get Cynogen Lollipop on this phone, or anyway to get back to my Stock rooted 4.4.2? What I don't seem to understand is how my back ground picture from Viper 2.0 managed to survive installing and wiping all the listed roms below several times. When I finally gave up and went back to Viper 2.0 my back gound pic of my dog was still there...!?!?!? Thanks for any input. Does anyone know the magic combo? Best Regards!
I have tried every combination of:
TWRP 2.8.3 and a couple older versions
Super SU 2.46 and older versions
FLY Kernel 2.3.2
Unsecure kernel 1.16.651.4
Unsecure kernel 2.09.651.1
CM 12.1 ROM
Sprint Stock ROM 1.16.651.4
Sprint Stock 3.02.651.5
and Viper Max 2.0 (Only thing that works)
Hey guys
I've been running 4.4.2 for like a freaking year (yeah I have), and I see everyone upgrading to Lollipop on their Note 3. When I go and check for an update, it says I've already installed the latest version.
I am running stock 4.4.2 with 3.4.0-1955971 kernel.
I could always just wipe it and install a ROM, but I don't want to lose my files, apps, etc. I see plenty of people who got the update through OTA (like here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...ting-lollipop-ota-update-sprint-note-t3076813 ).
How do I get the OTA update on my Note 3, so I don't have to wipe everything?
Thanks!
Update: I installed a stock ROM going through this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/finally-official-5-0-firmware-galaxy-t3029557
I am now on 5.0 stock, and all my apps are intact
I need a bit of help with this one.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 on Verizon, Android 4.4.2 Build VRUFNK4 (I believe this is an intermediate build between the stock VRUFNK1 and Lollipop).
What I'd like to do is root, backup the current build and then revert back if possible to VRUFNK1.
I'm new to rooting a phone so I could use a bit of help and links. I've read many of the posts and tips, but most specifically don't mention my build, which makes me a bit nervous.
Will towelroot work with this ?
Should I use TWRP or Titanium for backup ?
And.........can I find and revert back to the official build VRUFNK1 (4.4.2)
I simply want to get out of this strange build, remove bloatware........ and have some control over not being pestered over OTA updates from Verizon/Samsung.
Possibly, in the future, I'll play around with some custom ROM's.
Any help and opinions would be appreciated.
For what it's worth...................
After digging around on the net for a few days, I found the following. Now, I can't be sure if this works, so consider the implications. If someone else here on XDA can verify it then it might work.
If you have a Verizon Galaxy S4 with the 4.4.2 build of VRUFNK4 this was part one of two updates to Lollipop. Many people like me had been deferring the update and then somehow pushed the wrong button and "wham" got stuck with VRUFNK4., but they were able to stop further installation to Lollipop.
So for people stuck on VRUFNK4 it's pretty much the same as the previous VRUFNK1 except mine seems to eat battery power. AND, from what I know VRUFNK4 is not directly rootable( list below).
i545vrugOC1 5.0.1 Lollipop
i545vrufnk4 4.4.2 (intermediate update to prepare for Lollipop, part one)
i545vrufnk1 4.4.2 Kitkat
i545vrufng6 4.4.2 Kitkat
i545vrufnc5 4.4.2 Kitkat
So, you basically have three choices:
-- Leave it on VRUFNK4 (which is part one of a two part update to Lollipop) and live with the issues.
-- Allow the update all the way to Lollipop and live with Lollipop (and possibly root there)
-- Use the following procedure (yet to be confirmed by someone here at XDA and hopefully help with details)
1. Use Odin 3.09 to flash back to VRUFNC5 (KitKat 4.4.2)
2. If the flash is successful, root with TowelRoot
3. Once rooted on NC5 you should be able to flash whatever build you want, backup and recovery using
Titanium Backup, etc.
Anyone that wants to chime in here, it would be appreciated.
Just thinking.........
Could someone with experience in flashing explain to me why a person can't flash directly to a certain build, in this case,
Android 4.4.2 VRUFNK1 from a newer one (reverting to an earlier build) ??
from what i understand, you should be able to flash anything from NC5 and above via odin with NK4. the Bootloader was changed in lollipop builds OC1 and OF1 so that you can no longer downgrade to older builds from those.
Thanks bangdosa for the info. You seem to be familiar with all this stuff.
So, just to clarify, would it be true that if you're on NK4, you could flash using Odin to NC5 ? And hopefully root.

Hey folks,

is there a zip to flash 5.x.x to my firehd?
Hi guys I have an AT&T HTC ONE M8 and it was rooted and running 4.4.4 and TWRP and then something happened to it which caused me to go RUU and restore the device and unroot it and everything. Then I was on 6.0 and rooted it with the HTC ONE M8 rootkit and flashed SuperSU and TWRP on it and currently its still running rooted 6.0 with TWRP, I don't like marshmallow and I want to downgrade to kitkat or lollipop. My bootloader is unlocked and I am S-ON! Please someone explain very thoroughly how I can downgrade as I am not 100% tech-savy as we speak.
Thank You Guys So Much!
You can simply TWRP flash a 5.0 based M8 ROM, or restore a 5.0 backup and it will work. I believe the same is also true for 4.4.4. But not 4.4.3, as it is not compatible with newer firmware (hboot, radio, etc.). And you need s-off to downgrade that firmware.
Be aware, whatever you think you are gaining from downgrading; you are losing by not having years of Android security updates (patches to vulnerabilities, etc.).
Thanks Mate! Can you redirect me to a 5.0 Rom?

Not specifically, no. You can search the ATT Dev section for 5.0 ROM as easily as I can. Or if you don't need or want an ATT based ROM, you can also look in the "international" Dev section: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development
Also, ROMs which have been updated (Android 6, 7) may or may not still have links to 5.0 versions.
Alternately (and probably easier to find) just restore a stock TWRP backup of a 5.0 ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
You don't need (or want) to restore the data partition, so it is essentially the same as flashing a ROM (although getting the files to the right location is a bit trickier). Also, no need to install stock recovery (as getting an OTA update is not what you want). Then root if desired.
