Success! Multirom running unlocked and rooted KK and Lollipop

Success!
I hadn't installed Lollipop on my 2012 Nexus 7 (Grouper) because of all the problems I read about but I decided to try it through using Multiboot and keeping KK 4.4.4 too. I now have Lollipop running, including most of the apps I have running in KK, without any apparent problems. I initially installed Lollipop as the secondary ROM. After Lollipop is installed as the secondary ROM, it takes a while for the boot process to complete the first time, it seems to take forever. In order to unlock and root Lollipop I had to make it the primary ROM and used Nexus Root Toolkit running on Windows 8.1 to unlock and root Lollipop just as I had with KK. Now I can alternate from KK to Lollipop and vice-versa.
This is for Nexus 4 but works the same for Nexus 7 if the correct Lollipop version is used:

Hi
Did yolu installed also kernel for lollipop? Or are you using KitKat kernel? I tried to install as you described but lollipop always directs me to recovery.
asking same qeustions as hugo_bjk , before i updated to LOL' from 4.4.4 i tried to multirom various 5.0 roms but none worked all went to recovery as hugo_bjk says, im now 5.0 and performance for me is better then 4.4.4 anyways and now i do have kali nethunter installed via multirom ontop of paranoid saber remix:laugh:
I also installed 5.0 kernel but no go. Still directs me to recovery.
success
Âfter swapping internal and lollipop roms lollipop boots with success.
I've been away for a few days and just read the postings since I did the OP. I installed a Lollipop kernel with the kexec-hardboot patch and made Lollipop primary. Lollipop is working well, so far.

[Q] Miui 6 port with android 5.1.1

Is there a possibility MIUI 6, which is available to public now, could that be ported over to HTC One M7 along with android 5.1.1?
As there is no 5.1.1 for the m7 out side of aosp based roms I really don't see this happening. Best you will get is one maybe ported for 5.0.1. Also not many people use that here so your better off on the miui site.
With the current firmware HTC provided for 5.0.2, can that work on CM12.1 with 5.1.1, how did they manage to make our firmware work?

Getting a new nexus 6 please some answers

hello everything
first i wanna say i love the nexus 6 thats why i ordered one from amazon and am waiting for it but i need some answer if you can
for now i have sony z2 rooted on 5.1.1
so my quss?
1- what is the latest firmware for nexus 6 and where can i get them from ?
2- the eastiest way to root the final firmware as i love rooted stuck android
3- do you think its a good move for me from sony z2 to nexus 6 .
thank you all.
1 & 2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481
1. Latest firmware is 5.1.1 Lollipop
2. Easiest way to root latest firmware - Google search Nexus Tool Rootkit from WugFresh
3. IMO it's a good move, Nexus 6 is pure Android out of the box, I don't recommend this if your a noob/average user. Should at least have some knowledge about rooting, installing custom recovery & ROMs, if not start doing your homework on XDA
