Hello everyone,
Recently I decided to root my Canvas A1 to un-install bloatware.
I was successful in doing so. However, now I am unable to install any OTA updates.
I do get the notification, but the update fails and gives an error.
I am a noob into the whole Android Development Ecosystem, so I have no idea what is custom recovery, how does it work and what should I do with it.
I could not understand the answer already posted in this forum, so I am re-asking the question in a hope that some kind fellow will help me.
I wish to revert back to original set-up, so that I can receive all OTA updates from Google. Can anyone please explain me the whole procedure, in some layman terms? I will be highly grateful.
Regards,
There is a guide for that

[Solved] How to updated a rooted Canvas A1 to Marshmallow
Hello,
Thanks for the information. I was finally able to revert back to stock ROM+ Stock recovery and install the Marshmallow Update. Following are the links towards relevant XDA forum posts:

Yesterday I updated my ROOTED Lollipop to the latest build 5.1.1 , but after the update I lost the root , so I tried to root it again with iRoot program , but I got this error message :
Error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported
Then I tried many many of rooting apps but still facing the same problem and getting the same error !!
I looked for this issue, and I found some sort of fixes but I couldn't understand anything, because I'm not an Android expert.
So can you please give me a solution because I need my device to be rooted. And with an easy and simplest way please !
Device : Sony Xperia Z1 COMPACT
Model Number : D5503
Android version : 5.1.1
Kernel version : 3.0.4-perf-g4fd66c3
Device build number : 14.6.A.0.368
In short: Flash back to an earlier version (using Flashtool), root it, install NUT's XZ dual recovery, flash a pre-rooted ZIP of LP 5.1.1 (you find some here on xda), and enjoy your rooted android

Thanks for the reply .. For curiosity, can you please explain to me what means this error and why it exist , as I read it was since 4.1.1 , and personally I didn't face it when I updated android to 5.0.2.
Mainly it attempts to unlocked bootloaders. but there is a workaround for the error, so if you had still installed a running recovery the whole backflash was useless

Originally it was written for nexus and motorola devices, but it fixed my Z1C too, so i guess its not devicebound
I want to ask a thing:
I'm on latest 5.1.1 and want to root.
I think that flashing kernel only of previous (5.0.2) root and then flash a recovery can help me.
It's true? Because if I can root in that way:
I have the full ftf file of 5.0.2 version...how can I flash kernel only of 5.0.2 from flashtool?
Someone can tell me which options I have to check and which don't on flashtool to flash only kernel?
Or can post me a link to a kernel only ftf of 5.0.2 for italian firmware or CE1 ?
Does anyone have any updates on whether CM13 (for SM-G920P) is out of testing phase? I didn't notice any new replies on the CM13 thread.
Also, would a rooted phone still have the ability to update to Android 6.0 when it's released or would it need to be unrooted?
Thanks for the input.
I can't completely speak for the development of CM 13 but I would recommend you PM the creator of the thread and ask him, if anyone can give you a update its him. As for stock marshmallow you will have to flash the offical stock .tar from Sprint through Odin and then flash TWRP and Systemless SuperSU.
Hi,
Last year i upgraded My Canvas A1 4.4.4 to 5.1.

Please help if there is any method to flash it i.e. through PC like odin and something.
My Current Android spec

are you trying to flash custom or stock rom ?
First let me say that I am brand spanking new to these forums. I've some experience rooting before, but it has been years... Last phone I had rooted was the HTC Evo 3D (I still have that cool sonfa) which was years ago. Been out of the loop as far as things go. I decided to mess around with my old Note 4 (it's really not that old, I love this beast), so here I am. I've unlocked the bootloader and confirmed that it's rooted via root checker, but it's still in the stock 5.0.1 firmware... BORING... So I want to install a custom ROM and debloat this thing... I do have some general questions.
1) Any links to safely upgrading my note4 from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 ? (not even sure if this is necessary, you'll see what I'm getting at later in this post)
2) Bootloader is unlocked, phone is rooted, that's it... Do I need to flash a new kernel before trying to flash a custom ROM? Again, are they version specific as to what android I'm using?
3) ROM's and Firmware... I see ROM's listed here that have 6.0.1 next to them, does that mean that I need Android 6.0.1 to install this ROM?
Example: [ROM] [6.0.1] [UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 13.0 [Jul 24, 2016]
That's basically all my Q's, thanks again for any help/guidance I can get here.
