I'm currently running a rooted kitkat based custom rom (purity). I'll eventually want to run a custom lollipop based rom once the dust settles a bit, but don't want to revert back to stock for the ota, and don't want to manually flash a stock 5.0 rom either.
Since I'll need the new bootloader eventually, is there a twrp flashable file for the new bootloader available which I can flash now in preparation for future 5.0 based roms?
Don't have a decent usable pc handy, so if I could do everything straight from the manta itself that would be great.
(crap, wrong forum, sorry)
I haven't seen one, but if you download the image you should be able to use flashify. I have not tested though, so be careful.

Do you have to update the bootloader from kitkat

I'm looking for a flashable zip too! I had problems using flashify and my Mac doesn't detect my N10 in fastboot mode

I'm currently running JB 4.2.1 with radio .33 in order to keep LTE. I noticed I'm running the 4.2.2 boot loader (MAKOZ10o) and I wanted to downgrade.
I can't seem to find a file to downgrade the boot loader. Can anyone provide a link?

Download the 4.2.1 system image (probably have to get it from oldblue's thread as Google removed it) and flash the bootloader file from that. Just bear in mind it'll break things like autofocus in CM 10.1 (for example) if you do downgrade...or was that just the radio? Can't remember...
Do you have a link to his thread?

Is there no flashable CWM zip for the MAKOZ0I boot loader as opposed to the entire ROM?

No as this is a system partition. You will need to download the entire factory image, extract the bootloader file and flash it in fastboot. There is no other way

Has anyone made a flashable rooted stock rom zip? A helpful user yesterday made a zip for unrooted stock rom but I think it would be useful having a rooted stock rom as well.
Dont know if its possible but it would make many situations a lot easier.

Currently on a 4.2.2 custom kernel and rom. I was wondering if I actually had to go through the hassle of relocking and flashing the stock 4.3 image or can I just flash the radio and bootloader on their own and then flash one of the pre-rooted 4.3 roms?
Is there anything in the stock image besides the radio and bootloader that won't be found in one of the 4.3 roms that are being released?
You technically don't even need to update your boot loader or radio. I used the 4.3 leak just by flashing the rooted ROM. When the official 4.3 was released, I just flashed the new boot loader and radio in recovery and flashed the ROM. No problem.

I guess there is no need for relocking your phone!
You can flash the leaked rooted ROM version.. Just look in development forum!

ive had the AT&T d800 for a year and a half now. i used ioroot to root the phone, and autorec to have a custom recovery. whenever i try to flash a rom, it always fails without doing anything. i dont want to go through the trouble to revert the phone back to stock jelly bean just so i can flash roms again. how can i flash roms without fully restoring my phone back to jelly bean?
Current Version
Android: 4.4.2 Kitkat
ROM version: Stock D80020k
TWRP: 2.7.0.0
tired of stock always being buggy...
Did you heard of autorec? It restores jellybean bootloader which allows you to flash roms which still uses the old loki method without the need to restore back to antthing else. Btw I also suggest to update recovery. If you do autorec, choose the right version for your model.

Yes just flashed the bumped recovery. If you would ever upgrade to the kk bootloader for some reason like custom lp stock roms then you have to have an bumped recovery else you will get an lg security error

I'm running cm13 on Verizon and just want to know if anyone has any info for me or Where I can get some zips to flash or what ones work the best in your opinion. thanks everybody

The radio's vary so u will have to flash them n see which one works best for you.
The Bootloader well I wouldn't worry about that as its not going to make a difference
And here's a thread on flashable .Zip's to flash in TWRP but honestly the Bootloader I recommend flashing via Fastboot not by TWRP..
