So in an attempt to root my phone I screwed up and need a stock rom to revert and re-root. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/switch-supersu-to-magisk-problems-t3943471)
I can't find the stock rom for the latest HTC 10 with bell, so in order to undo the root I figure I could just flash a custom rom? I haven't done much with custom roms since I had my desire so I really need help making sure I don't screw up again.
If I am right and a custom rom will solve my issue with root being detected, what's my best option? Like what rom should I use and how should I flash it to be as safe as possible?
Any help at all is appreciated at this point, I can't even use google pay on my phone with root being detected :/

I can't thank you enough, I didn't think I'd ever find the stock rom, but it won't install for some reason.
I think this may be due to my own stupidity though. When I couldn't find a stock rom I was searching for a work around to use another, I followed some instructions to change something but I don't know what I changed and it didn't allow me to install the rom I was attempting to use so I never thought to make any effort to reverse it.
I believe this is what I did : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76879613&postcount=3059
Any ideas how I can fix that? or is that even the issue?
I greatly appreciate your help, I'm also going to update my original topic on this matter with the link.

Hello,
My HTC Desire got an update today.... However, when I try to apply it, it will progress almost halfway until it shows me the little droid guy with an exclamation mark.
I am on stock Froyo currently, however I am rooted using Unrevoked3. I was told I could still update and it would even retain root in the future. However, it does not seem to be the case.
So what would my options here be?
I do wish to retain root, and I do wish to update my phone. Mainly, because I hope it will fix the WiFi issue (WiFi goes into sleep mode in lock screen, regardless of the settings, thus I can't use Skype properly.)
Any advice and/or help would really be appreciated.
You cannot apply an OTA to a rooted phone, FFS how many more times does it have to be said!?!?!?!
Look for an updated version of your custom ROM (if you're using one) or go back to stock, get the update and re-root
Well; How would i go back to stock?
Or is there a custom rom that is nothing but a rooted stock rom?
Flash the stock Rom with 2.29 update wich can be found in the dev. forum..

since when did we become so intolerant to new members guys?? keep in mind there was a time when none of us knew that you couldnt flash ota's with a custom recovery. someone had to tell us all
Flash the update again it should work. But I'd use an RUU and get back to stock.
As the topic says I wonder how I do root by phone too still be able to get OTA updates. I've just seen the video at the ROOT INFO tab, but I have been given to understund that OTAs won't be possible with custom recovery. So my questin, is there another way to do this?

To, my personal knowledge... yeah you can root your device and still RECEIVE OTA's to your device, however when you need to install them... you'll need to flash the stock recovery so that it installs, then you can just go ahead and flash the custom recovery back that's what i'd do anyway.
Ok, I wound this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644167 just now. Will this do the thing without screwing up the stock recovery?
Historically it's always been the advice to NOT use OTA updates when rooted as they do more harm than good. If you're going custom I'd stick with that

This is new to me, i can't comment on it but from what i've read, yeah it seems to push the files to the device without the need of a custom recovery, personally i prefer the custom recovery way because you can carry on many different tasks which stock recovery can't

Is the phone rooted as well? Have you made any other modifications to the phone?
the update wont flash through twrp since its a custom recovery. (thats what I know)
anyways, assuming that you have your bootloader unlocked and a custom recovery installed, why dont you just do a backup of ur current rom and flash a new custom rom like viper or insert coin. they provide the latest updates.

Me and most people do have life's families & jobs we just don't sit here to help people out as I have mentioned before I give you loads of information to help you and as so as other me members. We all wasn't born to know how to root and unlock bootloaders or get s-off some people know more and they write great information on how to do it now go and use Google and the search function what is implemented into xda to stop multiple posts.

Hi,
Please use the original thread here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729439
I have a note 4 which I froze at 5.0.1 BOAF version using the debloater utility.
I would like to do the conversion to the DE unlock and flash CM13.
I keep seeing people needing to flash a 5.1.1 kernel in order to avoid bootloops. As I am not on 5.1.1, am I free to do the unlock, flash TWRP and then flash CM13/Gapps?
I really don't want to update to 5.1.1 and would like some input from those with BOAF who have done this. Any issues you had and solutions?
My fear is getting to the point of flashing TWRP and then not being able to flash SU and CM13 because of the TWRP SD card issue.
I am familiar with ADB and have been flashing roms since the DroidX.
Place all the files you need on your internal storage. Then root with Kingroot and unlock the BL. Then go into DL mode and flash recovery. Then you can access you internal SD to flash the Emotion kernel or you will get kernel panic and bootloop. Then flash Super SU 2.67. If you install Xposed you can remedy the TWRP ext SD issue with Wanam Xpose module. I know because I've done been down this road and figured it out today lol. Hope this helps shed a lil light on it for ya.

Well I understand what you are saying but if you're going to unlock the bootloader anyways and flash a 6.0 ROM what does it really matter. If you're worried about being able to downgrade, there is a safe upgrade method to do that so you can be able to downgrade if you want.

I'm concerned with soft bricking by flashing the wrong version kernel.
And I was asking how to NOT soft brick.
Has anyone done this with 5.0.1 (as the title states) without issue?

If you are on 5.0.1, you can do the DE conversion. You don't need to flash a kernel. Once you're done, you can flash the 5.1.1 through odin, install TWRP, and then flash the kernel and superSU again. Don't use the evolution kernel. Use the one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...nt/firmware-safe-upgrade-to-lollipop-t3313224

No, you do not have to flash a 5.1.1 kernel if you intend to stay on 5.0.1. However, if you decide to flash anything 5.1.1+, AND WANT ROOT, a 5.1.1+ permissive kernel is required to prevent boot loop.

My confusion was that I had thought that roms included a kernel already, and you only needed to flash a kernel if you wanted a custom one other than what is included with the rom. In the past I have flashed roms that had tweaked kernels included, no need to flash a separate kernel.
So it sounds like if I want to go to CM13 I have to unlock, update to 5.1.1 then do all of the other steps listed.
I was just hoping to skip right over 5.1.1 and go right to CM13 with TWRP using the included CM13 kernel. That is what I was asking, if those of us on 5.0.1 could skip over updating to 5.1.1.
Another question...If I unlock the BL and then update to 5.1.1 as sizzle suggested, won't that lock the BL again?

This. Glad I found this thread, this question has been hauting me..
I did the bootloader unlock exploit recently and saw I was on 5.0.1. I know that if I want to flash to a 5.1.1 rom I need to update to 5.1.1 prior to get the kernel and modem and what not. My only worry about doing so is whether or not it will re-lock my bootloader in the process. I'm not worried about downgrading, just about losing my bootloader unlock and root.
Hello,
I got 2 Sloans from ebay that I had to do this procedure on https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unbrick-root-twrp-fire-tv-2-sloane.3986303/ in order to get them up and running and they are, they are now running latest rooted rom from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/firetv-2-sloane-prerooted-stock-images-5-2-7-6_r1.3309783/ .
Which is great ! thank you XDA once again !
But I want to unroot and run latest stock rom which seems to be 5.2.8.0 (671761720). I tried all procedures to force it to update OTA, but it refuses and always says up to date.
Also reason for unrooting is some apps like peacock just refuse to work...
From what I understand I can just flash the stock unrooted rom via TWRP, but for the life of me I can not find the stock roms, or even a rooted latest ROM.
Any help is really appreciated ! TIA

Hi,
I would recommend you to use this procedure now that you have TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-firetv-2-sloane.4222331/
After that, flash any of this ROMs through the NEW recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-firetv-2-sloane.4222331/#post-84353191

Really appreciate the reply. I tried the first link, and that didnt help, but I see the links to the original firmware so i might just try to install it via recovery.
I was able to unroot by flushing one of those roms and recovery is gone now as well. But it still does not go to the latest firmware... weird.
