Flash the original Rom via cwm or use odin... Then relock the bootloader. Just type OEM lock..

No offense, but if you don't know what those things are, how in the world did you root and install MIUI, etc?
Are we being trolled?
To add....he installed various ROM SEVERAL times

So all right, I thought that when a newer version of Android came out and I am for example on CM10.1, I can update the android version and ROM by flashing a new bootloader and baseband, then flash the ROM and Gapps you want.
But today I read about someone who didn't accomplish to install a 4.2.2 ROM when he was on 4.2.1 so he installed factory image.
Can someone now please tell me what you need to do, so I am prepared when KLP arrives.
Thanks in advance!

Best advice I can give you is to learn fastboot. You can download images from Google once released and manually flash each thing that you want to update. You just unzip the files and fastboot flash them to your phone.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
I think I am misunderstood.
I meant how to upgrade android version if going from a custom rom to another custom rom.
So for example CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 and going to Xenon HD Android 5.0
Thats possible right?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Most developers list instruction on how to install from different custom roms in the install method if they differ (example post#2 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075444). If not, you could post in the thread of the custom rom to see if there are any special steps for that rom. I would advise reading through the first few posts of the custom rom to make double sure they didn't explain how to first.

But I do have to flash factory image in fastboot? No other ways by just using CWM?

There is a flashable zip for that. So I can just use CWM when upgrading ROMs?

Why do you prefer that even of you install the same file? But the answer on my question is that I can install a 5.0 ROM if I just flash the new bootloader and baseband?
Thank you for helping me!
Yes, as I answered that earlier
As for why I prefer fastboot - I always like to do everything manually. I then know I'VE done things right as an updater-script in a CWM ZIP file could be wrong/corrupt. It's a safety thing. Plus, once it's done it's done so I wouldn't have to do it again unless I wanted to downgrade Android to 4.x

But with CWM you also have to flash once I think? Because you dont flash it on a ROM, but before a ROM so the baseband and bootloader will last untill you install another I think?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Fastboot flashing is permanent - once flashed you don't have to do it again. A CWM ZIP can do the same but I, personally, DO NOT LIKE DOING IT THAT WAY. I don't know what else you want me to say?
Do what YOU want to do

Yeah but CM11 (or whatever it may be called) wont be ready as yes as Android 5.0 comes out, and I may use the stock ROM the first day it comes out, which I will flash in CWM so I wanted to know if I needed to do something else.
up front sorry for all the noob questions....
I bought the nexus 7 from a co-worker, it was already rooted and loaded with CM 10.1.
I hear android images for 4.3 hit today, I don't want to loose root so what do I need to do?
About how long does it take CM to have 4.3 available?
Nobody knows. When source is released then the cm team will evaluate and attempt to merge the code.
Just wait patiently or learn how the entire system works and do it yourself.

You read everything you can. You obviously do not need to be trying to flash anything at this point or you will be back here asking how to recover your device. You need to spend at least a few days reading. As far as root goes, there is no method to root yet... It just came out.

Will that's not quite true, I am on 4.3 and have root back with the new super user...
BUT, Russell, I agree with graydiggy. Read read read... There are stickies and info threads that tell how to root, unlock, flash.... Know how to do this before you go playing with new versions and CM night lies... and tempting as it may be, know enough beyond a "toolkit" to root, unlock etc... WUGFRESH has a nice tool but knowing is more than half the battle in this case... Enjoy CM 10.1 until you know enough, and they have 4.3 base... With some work, they will be about the same time...

À custom recovery is a thing where you can for example flash a rom or make some nandroid backups.

AwesomeBeats is an audio mod by our form moderator ...Awesome...
Flash it on any ROM, and tweak the eq and bass, and you'll be having Awesome sound. I am an audiophile, who's craziy for the lowest and highest tones. Middle ones aren't my type. I've been using this mod for a long time, and I've often incorporated on my ROMs.

Er, it's a community for developers (hence the xda-developers name), not a tech support forum. Us non-developers just kind of piggyback on the developers' workspace here.
Usually, before asking questions, members are expected to do a little research on their own. Beginner guides, which have been written by good people, are stickied all over the forums for that purpose. Those will answer basic questions like "what is a custom recovery." Refusing to read them and cluttering up the threads/forums with questions that stickies could could have answered is a little disrespectful. Stick around a little longer; you'll see for yourself how annoying they get when you see them pop up constantly.
I admit that the person you're replying to could have been more polite, but most people who ask sticky-answerable questions will probably eventually get similar responses.
Why in the world did you wait 4 hours to do that? I did it within 15 minute of having the device.
As the title says.. I tried towelroot.com but the download never actually starts. It says it's starting, but never does anything.. Any tips, please?
