Hey guys. I'm looking to upgrade to "LG'S stock lollipop firmware but I don't want to lose my bootloader so I looked around here on xda and there is no modified stock roms that won't upgrade my bootloader for my Bell D852.
My question is how can I modify my stock lollipop image to not update my bootloader?
I've always run stock roms without updating the bootloader by using a custom rom based off as close to stock as possible but I can't find one for the G3 based off stock lollipop., Anyone know where I can find this???
Thanks.

If you want to go with an AOSP ROM, just flash it (per the instructions, of course).
For a stock based (Touchwiz), you should be able to just flash it, then flash a custom kernel (exact instructions should be in the OP).
If you have to, you can upgrade your bootloader, but I wouldn't worry about that til you have to...
I know the AOSP rom instructions.
For touchwiz i reinstall stock rom ma4 but i try the OTA and say no updates for me

Hi guys,
So I have the unlocked HTC One M8 Asian variant, im rooted with unlocked bootloader and S-On. CWM Recovery.
I am now running CM11 on 4.4.4 and I want to go and try some Sense 6 based custom ROMS like Viper or InsterCoin.
Do I HAVE TO update my firmware in order to do so? What is exactly the firmware and how can I know what i'm running right now?
Any good tutorial in order to update firmware while S-On or guide to install sense based rom without updating firmware?
THANKS!
Nimi
Hello guys!
I own an HTC ONE M8 [non rooted- just stock] and I have updated my device to Lollipop 5.0.1 via OTA. Unfortunately, since Xposed is currently working under beta conditions, I want to downgrade to 4.4.4 to use the "full power" of my device So my plan is to:
1. root and unlock the bootloader of my HTC [currently on stock Lollipop 5.0.1]
2. Download and flash a ROM based on KitKat 4.4.4
3. Install Xposed and all the goodies it supports [Amplify, Greenify etc]
Is my plan possible?
Thanks in advance!!
Yes ...
That's not really downgrade, it just install 4.4.4 custom ROM, so your plan should work

So, a downgrade would be returning to stock Sense 4.4.4, right? I am not interested in that.
I just want to flash a custom rom, based on 4.4.4. If that is possible with the steps I plan to follow, then OK
Yes
If I want to return to stock 4.4.4 from Lollipop, do I still need to root the phone? The phone worked perfectly well before the Lollipop update, I really regret updating, I see no benefits whatsoever and lots of problems.

Yes. You either have to root, or gain S-Off and run a 4.4.4 RUU.
My question is, does it matter what bootloader version you are on for a custom rom?
Far as if I am on MM Rom (Jasmine 6/7), do I need to be on MM bootloader version or LL bootloader for LL Rom? I know I need to be MM bootloader to even be on MM ROM, but do you understand what I am asking? Do I need to be on LL bootloader for LL ROM and MM bootloader for MM ROM?
Can I be on MM bootloader and have LL ROM?
The reason I ask is I am on the MM bootloader and have Jasmine v7 installed and my camera works just fine. But I want to go back to Jasmine 4.3 (LL), but when I install it again on MM bootloader, the camera is blurry.
The only way to fix the blurry camera is to install official firmware or MM rom such as Jasmine 6/7, or even official LL firmware.
I have no problem starting the whole process of unlocking the nite 4 since I've already done it a dozen times now. But while at work was wondering if anybody had an answer other then what I am doing.

If you're on a Marshmallow bootloader you can only use ROMs that are based on the Marshmallow bootloader. Jasmine 6.0 and up are examples of such ROMs. Paul Pizz and CM13 from 6/22 up are too. (Yeah, I know, so is the 6/20 version but that was so buggy that I don't even count it.)
Jasmine 4.3 and below were based on Lollipop bootloaders and need a Lollipop bootloader to work properly.
Yeah, the ROMs may partially work if you cross them up. But they won't be usable, with the big problem being data and the lack of.

Thank you, thought that was the case.
Hi guys, I'm currently on Marshmallow stock firmware with lineage os 14.1 as dual boot rom (I used dual boot patcher) . I have a LG g4 h815 with unlocked bootloader and twrp. I would like to downgrade my primary stock rom to lollipop (I don't mind wiping also lineage os rom). Can I use twrp to do so instead of LgUp? I need a flashable zip of the lollipop stock rom, where can I find it? Do I need to flash something else like modem or bootloader zips? Is there any custom rom for lollipop? For those wondering, I want to downgrade because both lineage and stock MM are awful for gaming, I can't get acceptable performances even with geometry dash. Thanks in advance for your help.
No one? I don't think it's a difficult question for the most experienced Android modders...
