take otas until you get to 4.4 then look at the sticky in the general forum. come on. you didn't even take 1 second to read anything clearly. the first or second thread in the general forum is a how to for everything you could possibly want.

Really? missed it. I didnt read General since most how to roots are in Q&A. Relax bro. Its not my first rodeo lol And it doesnt even say OTA to 4.4 it says if you have this, then that, or this then that...

After you unlock and install TWRP reboot and TWRP will ask if you want to root. Say yes. When you get booted back up install supersu from the market.

thanks man.

Can this not be the first question asked in every topic now. Root Will get done when its done. This will do pretty much the exact same thing has a hard reset.

I was simply asking if this ROM would help in achieving root, not if we had root? Can this type of response (flame) not happen every time a person asks anything related to root.

This ROM will only help someone achieve root if they don't have the device...
It sounds like g00s3y needs to get laid and is joining in on the Acid/Jake bashing bs that has been going on for the past few days... g00s3y this flaming needs to stop and people need to look past the douche bags that are trying to break up the dev community!
Thanks,

The ERIS was rooted with the assistance of a leaked ROM, so his question was quite valid.

Did the p-trace exploit work on the pre-OTA version (ie this one???)
If there were any pre-OTA exploits I think we found some great possibilities.
Anyone who was working on them care to elaborate?

Do you mean what would happen if you were to flash this rom to your phone? It would run as a normal phone (since it's just an HTC-signed rom, it wouldn't likely automatically give you root unless it was a test release, which I don't believe it is, however it may still contain exploitable bugs/flaws that could lead to a possible rooting =).

Yes it is, the second part of the statement clearly says what this will do.
Very exciting times ahead!
Wasn't the root from the Droid Eris about stuffing more data afterwards since there was no check for extra data after teh signed file.
This was closed already wasn't it? If so bringing up the Droid Eris is a mute point?
But I guess anything is possible but I remember the Eris hole being patched up

So rooted froyo has ota update?

so I've been playing around with my aria for a couple of weeks and turned my nexus back on thats rooted and sure enough I have an ota update available for android 2.2, which I already have on the phone.. possibly stupid question, if I update will I lose my root even though I did it bootloader method?
and I thought custom roms even if its stock didn't get ota's

Thanks for the link, it helped me, too.
You guys preaching to search (which I'm not against), I just wanted to point out that you linked to an entirely different site. Thus, had the OP searched *this* site, by your own admission, he/she might not have found what he/she was looking for. Interesting...
My 2 cents here...I had a rooted nexus one froyo 83b WITH a custom recovery.. which supposes to block the frf91 update..n guess what it didn't..my nexus rebooted..it didn't even reboot to recovery it just did a soft reset n when I it back on it had frf91 with no root access..so I'm like wtf?? So I tried to reboot to the custom recovery and yes..you guys guessed with...it went back to the original recovery...

Gotta agree, dont be lazy. Use the search like you should.
I just got an update notification also, and I'm rooted. I let it reboot/install but it showed an error. It was probably frf91.

Moto X OS Updater

Hello everyone,
I am posting here today on the topic of the Moto X OS Updater. I have the VZW Moto X Dev Ed running Rooted Kit Kat 4.4. I do not want the new update and it is asking me everyday if I would like to install. As I am not interested in doing so I would like to remove this. Is there a way to shut down the updater or maybe even remove the apk? If so what is it called or how do I do so?
Thanks in advance!

Well from what I read I can't go back to the post camera update if I take 4.4.2. This is important I am able to do what I want you know.

The main reason people want to get back to 4.2.2 is to root. with the DE you can root with any version because of the unlocked bootloader.

CartlandSmith said:
From what others are posting using the unofficial fxz, you can run the 4.4 system with the 4.4.2 bootloader and I would presume the 4.2.2 system, too although I don't see where anyone has specifically tried that. However, if you do run a lower version of the system than the bootloader and accidentally take the 4.4.2 OTA again, you will brick. So you would need to freeze the OTA app to avoid that.

Verizon Nexus 6

I am thinking about getting the nexus 6 this week. I have looked around this thread and have some questions.
1. Is the bootloader for the Verizon nexus 6 unlockable? (If so, please add a tutorial link)
2. Does Xposed installer work with this device?
Thanks

1. Yes, the same way as every other Nexus device, so just read the stickied guides at the top of this section.
2. Yes and no. It works on 5.0.x but not on 5.1.x, which is what your device came preloaded with. I'm not sure what parts of your firmware can/can't be downgraded if you really want to roll back to 5.0.x to use Xposed, so maybe someone else will chime in with those specifics.

If you downgrade from 5.1, do not revert your bootloader. Downgrading bootloader from 5.1 to 5.0.1, then eventually back to 5.1 could potentially lead to a brick.

My first suggestion would be to use the search function provided by XDA. As I'm sure you suspect, all of this information is out there waiting for you to find it.
Look through the Q&A forum. I'm sure you'll find answers there.

It's OK to downgrade system.img and boot.img. Just don't downgrade your bootloader. Unless you never want to go back to 5.1.

You'll find, that there's a guide written, for pretty much everything you want to do. The steps are simple and fast. Just read the relevant threads and be sure you know what you're doing. Once you unlock your bootloader, leave it unlocked. Flash recovery and root and have fun!

Since you're unlocking and getting a custom recovery anyway, all you have to do is flash a 5.0.2 rom and 5.0.2 kernel. Most devs have updated past that, but you can find links to their older builds usually from the same download folders.

I would suggest that a little bit of patience might be in order here. Xposed is very popular, and I can't imagine that it would be more than a couple of weeks before it's functional on 5.1.

Before someone flames you, i'll tactfully let you know that there are already posts asking the same thing. I can assure you once a root method is discovered it will be posted and you will find it without question. Till then we just need to be patient.
