My phone is already rooted and has a custom rom installed for 4.4.2 kitkat, if I wish to install a lollipop custom rom, Do I need to unroot and whatnot and get the official update and then root and install the custom lollipop rom? Or can I just simply install the lollipop custom rom straight up?

You can flash the new rom directly as per the instructions given by the developer no need to unroot and all that.

I'm planning to root my LG G2 D802 and use a custom rom to have a kitkat experience. but before rooting my phone, i want to know if is it still possible to update my phone to the ORIGINAL KitKat update using the OTA update by LG or i will be stocked to the custom rom once i rooted my phone?
Once you put a custom recovery on it in order to install a custom ROM, you can no longer take an OTA update. Odds are very good that the stock ROM, once out, will be available to install the same way you install a custom ROM, but OTA's are out once you have a custom recovery.
Sure it can be done, you just need to restore tour phone to stock firmware.

you can use the update tool your phone has the installer for,
you connect your phone to the pc and it says connected as installer,
install the program and update with it, it uses download, bypassing the recovery

Hi all,
I have my N910F 4.4.4 rooted, so no OTA update,
Whats the best way to update to stock Lollipop 5.0.2 without losing root ?
Is it possible to install the Stock ROM via philz recovery ?
I have never install stock Roms via costume recovery.
Not sure if I lost root on this process

stock roms cannot be flashed via a custom recovery
that has to done through odin
you will lose root if you flash from odin
but you can root it again after you flashed it
if you wait for a custom lollipop rom you can flash it via a custom recovery

you cant. assuming you have a retail verizon s5 it cannot have cm12 installed. only dev ed is able to run custom roms like cm12.
You can only use stock based roms which you have to odin back to a 4.4.x rom and ncg kernel so you can root and install safestrap then flash the rom available (theres a few stock based roms in our dev section) and flash corresponding firmware in odin afterwards.

Locked bootloaders are a b***h.
Hi, my g2 is running stock lollipop. If I want to try an aosp lollipop based rom I just need to wipe the old system and flash the new one? I do not have to flash any other stuff life "back to kk" or be worried about the sensors or modem, or recoveries am I right?
anyone?
no sir, if you are on stock Lollipop you are not clear to flash any ROM's, do you have a custom recovery?
Apologies, as I have not tried the OTA lollipop....how is it? Worth trying in place of a constantly rebooting CM12-based phone?
You will need to be running a 4.3 bootloader before flashing the Lollipop ROM's, so you will need to take some steps to downgrade.

So we just have to flash jelly bean bootloader true recovery if I come from stock lollipop to an AOSP rom?
And what if we want to go back from AOSP to stock lollipop?
Thx!

First off you're in the wrong forum. Next, you're on the NJ5 bootloader so you can only install safe strap recovery and only boot custom ROM that is based on Samsung touch wiz. I suggest finding an ODIN file that'll update you to a newer firmware. OTA probably isn't working because you've rooted the phone.
Thanks man
