How to update android ?

Hello guys, im newbie in roms and all the phones stuff so please dont criticise I have a HTC Desire Z with Android 2.2. My question here is how to update it to newer? 4.4.4 would be awesome, i want newest i can. I found some posts on couple of forums about this but every was like "format, flash, update, boooom done". Can anyone tell me how to do it from begining? I mean how to format it the way it should be, how to flash, what do i need etc.
Also i found this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374927
Is it good? I know i shouldnt ask what rom should i pick, im just asking is it good to use on this phone.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
The second post in this thread will help you understand the initial process
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348266
You need to use gfree to exploit and root if you want radio s-off which is the only way you should root this phone. And be sure to read through all those links to understand fully first, I know it may be overwhelming but it is important.
As for best ROM, we don't make suggestions in xda but the third and forth post will link you to every to available. Gingerbread runs the best overall but there are many ICS and jb ROMs that work almost as well (some will say better) and KitKat has come a long way where many will find that it suffice for daily use.
You'll have to try a few, make backups, try a few more to see what works best for you
If you get stuck somewhere just ask in that thread and many are there to jump in and help
Best of luck!

Kay so i downgraded my phone with fre3vo and rebooted, everything was fine. Now the guide says i should head back to official rooting guide on wiki but the problem is i cant root it now. At downgrading it worked with no problems but now i just cant do it. Can anyone help please?

You will have to be more specific

Okay i did it and it works now i just misunderstood few things there

updating lollipop help

Greetings. My name is Pedro, i am peruvian and have recently bought an lg v500 (non google play) wich i rooted to use some programs, like battery repair.
Now what i want to know is about upgrading to lollipop, since it seems that lg will NEVER update the plataform. Of course if i do so, i will need to know exactly what to do, specially since this is my only access to the internet.
Can you help me? I dunno much about flashing but i just wanna learn.

Maybe you should read a it more the forum before answering a question. (in the wrong forum).
Your answer is right below your question: [Tutorial][KDZ][LP][V500]Korean v30A How to Flash KDZ

Do NOT use that method/tutorial if you want to keep root; you will loose root when you flash the KDZ.
Instead, install a custom recovery ( read into what that is first) and then flash the rooted flashable zip of v30a.

AT&T Note 5 Marshmallow update

Hi there,
First of all, this is an awesome knowledge base. Congrats.
Secondly: I'm new in XDA town - so please have some indulgence if I make any mistakes. In addition, English is not my first language.
Back to topic. A couple of days ago, I bought an AT&T branded Note 5 N920A with Lollipop 5.1.1.
I would like to flash it to Nougat. As far as I understand, I have to flash it to Marshmallow first. The recent software version on the phone is N920AUCS2APE3.
From my understanding, I need a dedicated update package from N920AUCS2APE3 to N920AUCU2BPE6. Everything is nicely described in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...ow-to-manually-update-to-marshmallow-t3380624
but unfortunately the links are dead.
What is still not clear to me is, whether or not any (=any AT&T) other update package would work too. I found a download for the Marshmallow N920AUCU2BPE6 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/at.../n920a-mm-odin-package-n920aucu2bpe6-t3415938) but I don't want to spend hours to try this out and then have to roll back to N920AUCS2APE3 because of a soft bricked phone.
I couldn't find any dedicated N920AUCS2APE3-to-N920AUCU2BPE6-file. Is there still any possibility to get this update done?
Cheers

No you don't have to flash Marshmallows first if you want to go to Nougat. You can use this thread to go strait to Nougat 7.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=71977275

S-ON and Locked Bootloader want to go back to Nougat or Marshmallow

Hi everyone,
I have a red Hong Kong HTC 10 which is updated to OREO. Now the battery drain is so serious, I want to go back to Nougat or Marshmallow. Is it possible and could you pls guide a step by step for doing so?
Thanks and regards

There are 2 threads here in the guides section which cover your question extensively. Have a careful read in those 2 and it will be clear enough.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/downgrade-problems-downgrading-htc-10-t3735658/page34
That's one and it's all written out there

I have searched the whole day for Nougat RUU for my SKU Hong Kong .708 but now luck, but I do find a Marshmallow RUU.zip for it. How can I downgrade directly from Oreo to MM with this zip?
Any help would be appreciated.

Directly.........probably not. You need to take some steps, but that is all explained in the 2 dedicated threads. Please do some fine research in the downgrading thread. I think it's a bit obsolete to copy and paste the tutorials from there to here.
But as i can tell from your flashing experience i would perform a factory reset and see how that goes. Personally i think you will put yourself in a situation that the device won't work anymore.
