I'm on an S-ON phone and if I understand correctly one must match his firmware to that the ROM is based on, correct? My question is, then, what ROMs am I limited to since I can't freely install firmware for both CID and MID must match my phone's? I am trying to install the Android Revolution HD ROM which is based on 6.12.401.4_R while being on 4.28.502.1. My CID is CWS__001 and MID is 0P6B12000. The closest I've found is 6.20.502.5. I'm not sure if the 6 stands for Android 6.0 or not. If this is the case, does this mean that simply being on Marshmallow firmware would be enough to flash any Marshmallow ROM? Am I reading into this too much and I can flash whatever I please and firmware is not that important?
You need Marshmallow firmware for marshmallow roms and higher.
6.xx.yyy.xx is marshmallow.
As the previous reply stated, your firmware doesn't have to be the exact same version number. But you typically want it to be the same Android version (in the case you mention: you want Marshmallow firmware for Marshmallow ROM). But also, Marshmallow firmware will work on later ROMs (Nougat and Oreo).

It just happens to be in this case, by coincidence. The software/firmware version numbering used by HTC is sequential based on the release of the device, and doesn't necessarily (or usually) correlate directly to Android version. So it is a bit confusing, and requires some specific knowledge.
For the M8, version numbers 1.x, 2.x and 3.x were all actually KitKat. 4.x is Lollipop. 5.x is Marshmallow for Google Play Edition. And 6.x is Marshmallow for Sense version M8.

I have a Nexus 7 2013 WiFi (Flo) of build number LMY48G currently running 5.1.1. I would like to flash Marshmallow but after some searching I am getting the impression this isn't possible for my build number.
No 6.0.0. image is listed on the official Google images page or on this list compiled here on XDA. However on another Google site, it lists "Nexus 7 (flo/deb)" of build numbers MRA58K and MRA58N having Marshmallow compatibility.
Am I correct in understanding that I cannot flash an image made for MRA58K/MRA58N on my LMY48G because of underlying hardware differences, and that there is no image available for my build? Will this brick my device?
I appreciate the advice, this is only my second time flashing a device and I just got this tablet and dont' want to brick it
LMY48G is just a build number for one of the official lollipop firmware for Flo. There is nothing stopping you from flashing the latest Marshmallow firmware. Just make sure you flash the correct version as there is a 3G (Mobile) version as well. From what you are saying you have the WIFI version for which the latest Marshmallow build is MRA58V.
Please read thoroughly on how to flash official firmware before you do so. It seem to me you may not be very confident in doing this.

Thank you, yes I am using the WiFi version. And you are correct, this is only the second time I've flashed a ROM and the first time was Cyanogenmod with an automatic loader. I will definitely educate myself before proceeding...:good:
I'm currently using a m9 Sprint/nTelos with firmware 5.1 , but I can not upgrade to 6.0 because no exist that firmware for this model.
I tried to install custom ROM based on 6.0 but no start obv my firmware is 5.1.
there a way or a rom to reach 6.0 with firmare 5.1 ?
acctually using MaximusHD 6.0
I'll be very greatful!!!
No, you cannot run a 6.0 rom on 5.1 firmware. You will get a bootloop.
If theres no rom from the carrier you have to wait. You can look into s-off but not sure if sprint/telos/verizon and other corrupt carriers have locked them out..

Hi Guys,
firstly sorry if this has been answered as i did a few searches but am that out of date now.
I'm currently on LeeDroiD 10 v3.0.0 Beta 3 and still on the old MM firmware.
Last time i was following the threads religiously there was an issue with TWRP not working for the new Nougat firmware (hence why i never updated).
My question now is what is the best way for me to go to the new firmware, TWRP (if it even works wiith the latest firmware) and newest ROM base (of any Nougat ROM as i always keep changing lol).
Thanks

Hey Roshi,
You can flash Viper 10 4.5 (http://venomroms.com/viper10-downloads/), which is an Android N ROM, and it works on Android M firmware (e.g. 1.95.401.4).
Otherwise you could flash this RUU first: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/wwe-htc-10-stock-rom-ruu-2-28-401-9-t3525075
It will update your firmware to Android N: 2.28.401.9, and then flash Viper10 4.5. However, it is being said that this RUU was leaked, and therefore it is not the final version that HTC will release to the public, hence it will never receive OTAs.
P.S. I never heard of TWRP not working on this firmware, so I assume it works just fine.

Thank a lot for the reply. I am running LeeDroid Nougat tom on MM firmware currently.
Was just enquiring weather everything is now in place to upgrade properly to Nougat firmware .
Just a silly question. Why the most ROMs for Moto Z2 Play are based on Oreo?
I have this device since 2017, updated until Android Pie via OTA, but I want to change for something different than stock ROM.
The problem is, most ROMs still based on old version of Android and I don't want to downgrade.
I have a US Action One xt2013-4 and want to flash Android 11 to it. I see that there is an Android 11 ROM for the 2013-2 version. Can this be done? I previously had a US HTC One M9 and was able to flash an EU stock rom to it after I changed one setting in the phone. Just wondering if this is possible here as well or if there is a clear howto on flashing the EU version ROM to the US version phone.
My phone is at the lastest current firmware from Moto: 10_QSBS30.121-12-12-12. The EU version I grabbed is: 11_RSBS31.Q1-48-36-14.
I have not yet unlocked or tried anything as I do not want to brick anything.
No one? The instructions for my old HTC went like this and I wonder is there is some similar way to convert this US version Moto One Action to a EU variant to get the Android 11 update...
convert HTC ATT to EU
