Okay, thank you in advance to anyone that can help me with this matter. I've spent the last 4-5 hours reading and I can't seem to figure out what I need to find. Here it goes.
I have a Nexus 6p and a Oneplus 3T. Both are rooted and Rom'd with no problems. I just bought an Honor 5X for my son and I unlocked it, put on TWRP 3.0 and rooted it. The Honor 5x is on the EMUI 3.1/ Android 5.1.1 I downloaded the beanstalk ROM and it failed. Am I missing a step somewhere? Should I be somehow on MM 6.0? or can I just go ahead and flash the beanstalk ROM?
Any help you guys can give me I would greatly appreciate it.

Yeah you need to be on marshmallow firmware, most roms have that listed in the op (beanstalk 7.1 does not though so you get a free pass haha)
My next question is which MM update do I use? I see all kinds available. Does anyone have a link to the right one please? Also will I need to root again after updating to MM?
Thanks.

Update depends on the device. What model do you have?
Generally you will need to return to the stock recovery to take the OTA. Then root again after updating to marshmallow firmware. But again, there are a couple ways to do it properly depending on what you are looking for
I have the L24.

Since you are on stock, you need to flash the OTA. However, I'm pretty sure you need to be in Stock recovery so flash that first and then take the OTA, most likely though the dload method. Odds are the OTA won't show up by itself but it's not a problem, just download the OTA and use the dload method described in @clsA thread

You have a Developer Edition S4, you can flash just about any ROM you want on it...it has an unlocked bootloader. Not sure what recovery you have, but you'll need a custom recovery like TWRP (I recommend 2.5.0.2) or PhilZ. Either one of those can be found in this forum. The one thing you don't want to do is take an Over The Air Update from Verizon...or anywhere else for that matter. Your in good shape for flashing just about anything as long as you don't change/replace your bootloader. I haven't seen any ROMs on this forum that touches the bootloader. There are a number of good ROMs available. Just follow the Developer's installation instructions. If you're looking for a really good TW ROM I recommend trying Eclipse 3.0.

Here is a good thread for you to read. It probably answers a lot of your questions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578569
Just keep in mind there is no factory image for the dev edition Gs4, (each developer edition device supposedly has a slightly different aboot) this is why no ota updates from big red.
I dont know how to do it but get some advice on how to back up your factory firmware before going to far. If this is even possible without a custom recovery????
Don't make the mistake I made and get a soft brick and have to flash a consumer version of mdk. My bootloader is now locked but at least I am still mdk with custom recovery and flashing capability.

I'm a veteran of the HTC phones (and at least used to Samsung devices), but my friend wants his G3 to have a custom ROM on it. So I start looking around threads, and I didn't find any straightforward instructions on someone starting out.
Do I need to be S-Off or unlock a bootloader or anything like that? Or do I just grab the custom recovery and ROM, adb the recovery, and install the ROM? Everything I see just says to install the ROM from TWRP and go, but that's not very helpful unfortunately. He's on the latest LP ROM and firmware from Verizon, and I did at least see that this won't be a problem (unlike other devices where newer firmware can sometimes cause unlock issues. I'm probably going to install the Jasmine ROM on his phone to keep it relatively stock for him.
I'll take directions or even just a link if somebody has one handy. Thanks ahead of time for the help

Best/easiest option,
Downgrade to 12b using kdz
Root w/new root method
Flash twrp (adb, flashify, or dd)
Flash jasmine L Rom base
Flash jasmine L small upgrade builds if available
Profit!
Most links can be found in op 2 of my Reference sticky in the Verizon general forum.

Thanks, somehow missed that thread. Glad to see its relatively straightforward with LG, considering it's not my phone and I haven't had an LG to work on (until I get the G4 ).

I picked up a Huawei GR5 when my current phone went belly up. Was going to flash CM13 on it, but I noticed that my (Canadian) phone is model kii-l05, and I can't find any info on whether I can install CM13 on this model. Will be very sad if I'm stuck with the Huawei SW....

Yes, it's running MM. This phone was sold by Rogers locked, and has since been unlocked. From what I can tell the difference between this and a KII-L21 is that the L05 is not listed as dual sim, despite appearing to have the same HW. It must be firmware limited to only use the usim.

I've read here that it works. You will need to do some build.prop editing because your device is single-sim.

Thanks. This is a bit scary since the only time I've flashed CM onto a device it was a Nexus and was super easy. I think I need to make sure I know how to get back to normal MM if I mess this up before I try.

Yeah, in general it's not recommended to flash firmware that's not specifically supported for your device. Luckily, someone else has already taken the risk for you

Well, I decided to try this today on my KII-L05, but started with just the plain CM13 download. Surprised a bit, but it worked fine on my device without me changing anything, calls, LTE, Wifi, Bluetooth, camera all appear to be fully functional. Only thing is my device doesn't know its device model anymore in the settings, which seems of no importance.

Can you point me to the procedure you used to root?

It was ok until today. I tried to do an OTA update, and it hung on the boot screen. From what I'm seeing in the forum, this looks like a known issue with not using CM13 recovery.
I didn't root, I just unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, did a full backup onto an external SD card, and then flashed the new ROMs onto it. The backup on the SD made life much easier today when it hung, I was easily able to revert to the original OS, make sure everything was ok, and now I've swapped to Resurrection remix.
I flashed CM13 last night on my KII-L05, boy what a difference. Very snappy!
One hiccup did occur when I installed the latest nightly via TWRP. I received an Error 7 when installing. It stated that the package was for kiwi where my device was "."
Googled around and learned that the update_script in the CM13 install package is validating the device model / variant.
Essentially I had to remove the "assert" lines validating the model in the update_script.
After that, install was successful.
By any chance do you still have your backup? I can't seem to get mine to work.

For CM and LineageOS there is no need to do an edit of build.prop. Init will detect the variant just fine and set the props by itself. Currently the variant is not supported on CM13, will include it at least tomorrow, just got the necessary info today. After that, updates won't require editing the install script anymore because model will be set as well. Next time please inform us in the thread, we were not aware of that model at all.
i think, lineage 14.1 is now available for canadian version, check out guys..there is an announcement in the thread

Yes and if you would read the thread before posting, you would have seen
a) I answered them already
b) This thread is about CM13, not CM/LineageOS 14.1 and i have not yet added support to CM13...
Which specific Lineage 14.1 should I use for KII-L95? is it the honor 5x? does it requires additional steps to do?

I rooted my I605 three years ago (through CASUAL, if memory serves, and that's the last time I've played with rooting and related topics) and I'd like to upgrade to the highest OS possible (that's 4.4.2, right?) but still keep root. I have TWRP installed. My Note II is nagging me to upgrade with an OTA (not sure what it is specifically) but I keep deferring it. What steps do I need to take to upgrade to 4.4.2 and keep root (stock ROM), and is that even possible? If someone can point me in the right direction thread-wise that would be greatly appreciated (there's a lot of info on this site but I'm having a hard time trying to find one specific to my situation.)

The best option to use is Beanstown rom for the 4.4.2, once you take the OTA to upgrade to 4.4.2 you can still root but you will not have an unlocked bootloader. Beanstown has pulled files/firmware and radio to have the most recent upgrades but still leaves the 4.1.2 bootloader on your device to be fully unlocked.

Happy to provide more detailed guidance (several have taken a similar leap) but will be traveling the next few days with limited XDA access. You can find everything you need in the HDX forum (several threads dedicated to the topic) or just hang tight until I return.

Sorry but now I can't remember precisely what I did.
None of the steps works? I remember that the first step (generate the unlock code) was flawless.
If even the first step doesn't work maybe you have adb drivers problem, so check the prerequisites section here https://forum.xda-developers.com/ki...r-firmware-t3463982/post70881555#post70881555
