Hey guys,
I haven't upgraded my Note since 4.4.2 Hyperdrive 4. I thought i would get CM14 installed but need to get from 4.4.2 to 7.1.
I restored from original backup using TWRP, so it should be stock, yet, system update still detects that it's not the original one.
I was thinking, can't i just download 7.1 and flash it using Odin? And then install CM14?
I am on KOT49H.P600UEUCND2
Forgive me if i am not understanding something, it's been a while since i have done this process.
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
So I recently had my SGS3 rooted until I stupidly installed the OTA update that Att released. Everything was good, but now my phone was unrooted and I was unable to reroot using conventional rooting methods. Now, I figured that it would be good to install a custom ROM in order to re root my phone and put jelly bean on it. However, when I went into the Clockwork mod recovery, it gave me a status 7 error while trying to install the latest nightly build of CyanogenMod 10. I also cleared out all the caches and did a factory reset. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
Thank you very much for your help!

Download the file below file to your S3 and install it via Mobile Odin to get CWM back.
Well, from what I read, you aren't rooted anymore.

If I recall correctly, Status 7 means you have an older/not-supported version of CWM installed. Your best bet is going to be to download the Samsung Galaxy S3 QCom ToolKit, and use that to install the proper CWM version. Then you will be able to wipe/install a custom ROM.
Hello, I recently flashed TWRP onto my V with the toolkit in the sticky thread, however I can no longer install system updates, it just boots into TWRP. Can anybody advise me on what to do next?
Kind Regards.

system updated only work woth stock recovery. i think you can flash the stock recovery, take the update, then go back with twrp
Thanks for your help, but I decided to flash over a custom ROM anyway, which is already updated to 4.0.4 and sense 4.1
You realize there are much better versions of Android beyond 4.0.4 available for the one V don't you? Cm 10.1 is currently at 4.2.2 and the latest fully working PACman rom (v19.3) is at 4.1.2, just to name a couple.

Hello all.
Hopeing i can get some help with my old telus t989d. I recently upgraded to an S5 and am going to give my phone to a friend. problem is that i rooted the device right after i got it and havent touched or updated anything in years. It is still on the very first firmware that it came with Android version: 2.3.5 kernel: 2.6.35.11.
My first question is do i need to update the recovery it is currently running CWM v5.0.2.6 and an extreamly old version of superuser.
Second question is can i do a factory wipe and flash a new ROM like CyanogenMod 11.0 or do i need to update the stock firmware first.
thats all i can think of right now. thanks in advance for any help
Odin flash the 4.1.2 firmware.
Odin flash CWM 6.0.4.4 or newer( or TWRP 2.6.1.0 or newer).
You shouldn't have any problem installing CM11 after you do those things.
Unless your friend is into rooting and what not, I'd definitely give it to him with stock 4.1.2 installed.
Otherwise there will always be some glitches.
Thanks all for the info. Tryed to go back to stock unrooted. That worked fine but when I Tryed to update through keys I made a brick. Oh well

So I just got 1 of these babies and I'm super excited. I'm not new to android at all. I have a nexus 5 and I'm very familiar with unlocking, flashing a custom recovery, and loading up ROMs. In my excitement however, I may have made a small mistake and I'm looking for feedback.
So, when I booted it up for the very first time, I got the prompt to update to 4.4.4. I thought, "meh, I'll just root it and then install a 4.4.4 ROM--problem solved.". What I may have looked past accidentally is that on the nexus 5, upgrading to 4.4.4 included an update to the bootloader and that simply flashing a 4.4.4 ROM would NOT include. So, now I'm wondering, should I have gone up to 4.4.4 b4 rooting and installing twrp?
Will flashing a 4.4.4 ROM bring all aspects of my nexus 7 up to date, or do I need to go back to stock, update to 4.4.4, and THEN re-root, etc?
Alternatively, if it's just a radio update, can I just flash that? Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
OMG! TWRP is A-FREAKIN-MAZING! I went ahead and tried to update even tho I had TWRP installed. I guess, since Im still on stock ROM, it actually updated flawlessly! You DEVS are great. Thank you sooooo much!
Delete thread, I guess.
I went from rooted 4.4.3 and updated to an official 4.4.4. Root was lost so I just used towelroot and installed the SuperSU apk from the flashable SuperSU zip and it worked out flawlessly.

You can update OTA if you want. Or you can flash the stock ROM. It doesn't matter.
Do yourself a huge favor and download the Nexus Root Toolkit from XDA. Its very easy to use and it will flash stock if you need to do that... It will also root and install TWRP with almost no intervention on your part. Regardless of the state of the tablet, you can always go back to unroofed stock of any version with the toolkit.

You lose root after updating, but you can just root again.
Hello Guys. Need a little help. Have a rooted Note 2 i317 (At&t) that had a custom rom but I wiped with the recovery on it which was TWRP 2.4.3.0. Now I tried putting the NOTE 4 rom for the model I have but it won't take. Again I have TWRP 2.4.3.0. the only rom I can get to work so far is Slimbean 4.3. Is there any thread were it gives me required files for updating the rom. I have tried updating kernel and other stuff but the only rom that works without a problem is Slimbean 4.3 with the Gapp 4.3 pack.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I f'd up by wiping without having full understanding but I've been away from Rooting since the older sammy's from Metro.
Also tried updating TWRP with the App and it gave me a notice saying "Something is wrong!" but it has version 2.8.7.0 on it at least that's what it says. IDKWTF happened. Please help. Going nuckin futs.
UPDATE: Got it figures out guys. Used another computer and everything is good. Used TWRP and Installed another version and performed a return to stock and started fresh. ALLGOOD. Thanks anyways.
