[Q] Help with Custom ROM - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I have a Razr M , rooted, bootloader unlocked, radio switched via Radiocom, and happily using on ATT. I know that if I accept the OTA updates that I will lose root and the radio defaults back to Verizon. I was wondering if the same thing happens with the custom ROM's, and if so, is there a way to know in advance which ROM's will save me the trouble of going back through the steps to get back ROOT etc.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] S4 Running MH8 Baseband

hello all,
I recently went back to the stock touchwiz rom from a custom rom, & received some updates that changed my baseband to mh8.
So ive been doing some research that leads me to believe that its not possible to flash to a custom rom after the update.
So i would would like to ask if it is possible to flash a custom rom or not?
& also ive found chainsfire auto root file which i know can root MH8. But still i dont want to risk it.
Ive got a S4 LTE locked on 02 uk
Thank You

Question about Returning to Stock

Hey all
As soon as i got my verizon lg g2 phone i flashed a custom rom and since then i have not had working GPS. i have tried a bunch of fixes and nothing works. So it seems i need to flash back to stock and open a GPS app so it can find signal then i can flash to a rom if i desire.
My question is...
Which version should i flash back to? should i flash the kitkat VS98024A_11 or an older and take the OTA? I want to be able to root after i flash back to stock and would like some input on the best process to accomplish this.
Thanks for any help and direction you can provide!

[Q] rooting without flashing a custom rom

hi guys. i would like to root my nexus 4 preferably without flashing a custom ROM, but which way is easier and safer: flashing a custom ROM or just rooting with SU without flashing a custom ROM? i am a "beginner" and afraid of bricking my device. could you recommend be the best in your opinion rooting tutorial? i saw some on stickies but apparently they are from 2012. are they still relevant? thanks a lot!
you dont need to flash a custom rom to root your phone. your phone just stock and locked as well? there are couple different methods you can use to root depending on the current state of your phone (ie what version os you are running, locked/unlocked bootloader, etc..)
thank you for the answer
i am using 4.4.4 kitkat downgraded from 5 lollipop, so does it mean that my bootloader is unlocked? or not necessarily?

[Q] Should I let VZW update my phone to 5 ?

I am currently running 4.4.4 on a G900V wit NK2 rooted and Saftestrap. The phone constantly nags me about updating.
My predicament is that I use T-Mobile as my carrier and at the moment everything works except wifi calling. I can run a stock TMO ROM and get everything working great - but then I think I will be stuck at Kit Kat, and cannot use custom ROMs.
I am wondering what my options are with the update. I have heard I can roll back to 4.x but what if the radios don't match my stock TMO ROM anymore?
Will OTA update un-root my phone and hose my ability to use it with T-Mobile?
Help please.
I think I found my own answer on this thread, 3rd page:
