I have a HTC10 - latest ViperRom 5.0 - S-off, rooted, etc. I've been running the latest Viperrom for about a week without many problems, a few FC. Also, I still can't activate advanced calling, but I can live without that for a while.
I tried to install the latest ElementalX kernel for my firmware - Verizon 1.9XXX, - after flashing it in TWRP recovery, it would bootloop.
I had to reflash the ViperRom 5.0, which includes the stock kernel to get my phone back.
Any simple ways to get ElementalX kernel installed without having to wipe everything/delete data?
Thanks,

you are flashing a marshmallow kernel on a nougat rom...that won't work.
Not sure in what way the kernel is firmware dependent...but it is definitely rom dependant...you need the nougat elemental x kernel for our nougat rom.
the old marshmallow one won't work.
Awesomei - Thanks for the help. So then, next question - if I can locate the latest Verizon firmware, 2.XXX something, can I install that?, and then I would need to reflash VenomRom 5.0, to select the correct firmware option - correct? After which, I presume I could install the correct ElementalX kernel? Can all of this be done without completely wiping?
Thanks

My Nexus 7 wifi has the 4.4.3 update that has been prompting me to update. I tried doing the update which fails.
I do have TWRP installed, MultiROM, and a customer kernel. I tried flashing a custom kernel which did not resolve the issue.
I currently swap between stock and CM depending on what I would like to play with.

I'd do a nandroid before doing anything.
It might help if you state what the exact contents of the error is, my guess is that you have changed something in /system (unexpected contents error), and flashing a custom kernel won't fix it, in fact you would want to flash a stock 4.4.2 system.img and stock 4.4.2 boot.img if you want to use the OTA method, else you can just skip using the OTA and try and flash a 4.4.3 system.img and 4.4.3 boot.img, either way make sure you clear dalvik and cache before booting up after the system flashes.
You cannot install official updates if your device is modified!
Since you mentioned that you are familiar with CM, why don't you update to the latest CM ROM?

I play with it every once in awhile but I don't know why I enjoy stock but I do. Maybe I will go back to CM.
I installed Elemental X kernel on my M8 running android M but would like to go back to stock kernel.
How can I go back to stock kernel?
Restore the TWRP backup you made before flashing the kernel; which you should always do before such mods.
Otherwise, extract the boot.img from suitable OTA, RUU, or appropriate custom ROM zip. Flash with fastboot.

Will reinstalling SuperSU 2.66 beta restore the kernel to stock? I reinstalled it and have noticed that sweep 2 sleep does not work after doing that? I installed Elemental X for that functionality specifically.

I believe recent SuperSU versions will give you the choice of "systemless" root (no changes to system) as well as "traditional". For the traditional root, it will detect if a modified boot.img (kernel) is needed in order to get root, than replace the boot.img accordingly. So in that case, yes the kernel is replaced. Not full stock, but a stock kernel modified to allow root.
hi guys - so i tried to install the revolution rom on my recently unlocked m9 and it'd only boot to the bootloader or download.
i found some threads back from 2012 that said twrp wouldn't install the rev rom, but suspect it's out of date - it seemed to work fine.
is there some magic here? i tried to flash my firmware to the version matching the rom (3.35.401.12) and got a code 10 failure in adb. my current firmware is 3.10.605.7. doesn't flashing the rom update the firmware too? or do i need to successfully flash the rom prior?
should i use a different recovery? twrp launched the rev aroma installer and all seemed to go perfectly smoothly... no problems came up until reboot brought me right back to bootloader.
the aroma install says it might boot loop a couple times, but i booted to bootloader 5+ times before giving up and going back to a deodexed stock vzw rom.
any help is greatly appreciated - i'm hoping to get up to marshmallow before calling it good enough and moving on.
Flashing the rom doesnt update the firmware. S-on makes sure of that.
You must be on the base firmware for the rom to take. You need the vzw marshmallow ota update before you can flash a marshmallow based rom.

I'm trying to install the latest update to cm13 but it errors out. I'm only running stock CM with no custom kernel. I've also tried a full wipe and reinstall but get the same error message. Any help is appreciated.
Which rom are you running now? If it's lollipop based then you need to flash marshmallow to then flash cm13 over the top of it.
If you are s-on you have to use an ruu or an ota. If you are s-off there are plenty of zips around you can flash.
The principle is, you need a base rom to flash the "incomplete" cm13.

You need to update your firmware to the latest version and then you will be able to flash the new ROM.
Hey guys!
I'm rooted with magisk on this ROM - https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/development/rom-unofficial-aosip-aka-derpfest-t3978357/amp/
What would be the best way to downgrade/roll back to an Android 9 ROM? Safely.
Appreciate the help! Thanks.
I just did this process.
You just need to have your twrp updated and flash the stock rom (or other roms).
You'll lose your recovery, it goes to stock, and magisk.
I think flashing a non-stock android 9 ROM is way better, you won't lose your recovery.
If everything goes bad, you can try the unbricking tool for 5t.

So if I'm understanding correctly, it doesn't matter that I'm on the latest firmware as well? All I have to do is find a android 9 ROM (I'm probably going to do oos Aroma) and flash that in the latest recovery installed. Latest recovery being the one I'm currently on twrp 3.3
Yeah, that's it.
I was using aicp android 10 I just flashed lineageOS android 9, all worked well. I'm also using twrp 3.3 that should be OK.
