From day one on my new Op2 I flashed the official MM 3.0 Beta. After a week I decided to try the 2.2.1 Lollipop to see if anything were different... I had to use a kind of downgrade and recovery to downgrade and once that was done everything went fine.
Now I want to try a MM Rom (not the official beta). Can I just flash any MM rom, as long as I have a recovery that supports both Lollipop and Marshmallow (I saw one in the forum) or do I have to do anything else?

Flash right away, maybe u need the old / new modem

Just flash rom and gapps normally. Depends on rom which modem you need. You can check it from op.
First is your bootloader unlock and do you have TWRP?

Hey everyone!
I just got my AT&T G2 last night.. I like the phone, but really want to root and ROM, coming from a gnex.. its a bit bloated to me
Anyway, it was 4.4.2 out of the box with firmware verison, D80020c. Originally I thought I would need to revert to stock firmware D80010d? However now I have been told I can just use ioRoot25 and then flash Cloudyfa's AutoRec recovery? Is that correct?
I'm going to get at this, this afternoon but obviously it would save a lot of work if I could just use ioRoot25 but as I said, I want a custom recovery also so I can flash a non-stock rom.
Please let me know what would work, and what works best.. Thanks, Chris.
I've went ahead and downloaded supersports tool to revert to stock D80010d. I haven't actually ran it yet, because I want to wait on input from people in this thread. However, it seems like rooting with ioRoot on D80010d, flashing custom recovery, and than flashing a ROM would be the way to go.. It is my understand that currently it is no yet possible with KK to have custom recoveries? Being on stock KK doesn't do anything for me anyway.. I'll probably just flash a asop based ROM running 4.4.2 anyway and go that way with it.. So it would work like this..
Currently on D80020c (KK) --> Revert to stock, D80010d (JB) --> Root using ioRoot (any verison would work I guess?) --> ADB flash over either CWR, TWRP, or Philz recovery? --> Get some 4.4 based rom with gapps, flash it and all is well? Then I will be rooted and romed with a kitkat based rom correct? And all in time for the weekend?? lol.
Right on. Use ioroot25, but apart from that you've got it all figured out. You're right there is no recovery for pure kk because they patched the Loki exploit, but there are work arounds. Everything you need to know about rooting and flashing had been covered here so just go ahead and do your thing and enjoy your new phone :good:

Hello,
Yes it is possible to downgrade from an official Molitor to an official kitkat (the latest).
I do it, when the flash is end and the mobile show the logo Samsung
You can put out the battery, reboot to the recovery and wipe all user data.
Before do that save all your data.
It's an official administrator from Samsung who say me do so.
Hope that can help you.

what do you mean by the kitkat (latest) because not all country have the same latest version.. like in my case my mobile is originally from KSA. and i think its not the latest kitkat out there.

Isn't the bootloader required to flash the ROM?
I'm very afraid of trying stock lollipop. I was on Temasek's CM12 build but I had abysmal batterylife. This was probably not attributed to Temasek's build but rather to CM12 as a whole, so I went back to my nandroid containing Crash Rom V19 on kitkat 4.4.2 and I literally have less than 1% drain per hour with the phone idle. I love this batterylife, and I feel I'd like to try and see if stock lollipop TW will give me the same but I would like the option to go back to kitkat if it's worse. I like lollipop a lot but the promise of batterylife seems to hit and miss, makes me stay on kitkat.
I know Crash Rom has a lollipop version, but beside this, which ROM is the MOST stock with the least amount of modifications?
I'm coming from 4.4.1 I want to flash a Lollipop ROM, I haven't flashed for very nearly 2 years. I'm obviously rooted already.
Is coming from KitKat as simple as just flashing a Lollipop ROM? I'm an SM-9005, I've got Odin 3.10 and I want to flash Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.5.
I've seen that I need to backup my PIT and obviously backup my current ROM, do I need to update my baseband or radio etc?
No one?
No need to backup your baseband or radio. RR is an AOSP ROM as far as I know, so you won't be able to flash it with Odin I'm guessing, as it comes as a zip package? I don't have any interest or idea about it, but you can only flash via Odin if the ROM comes as tar image.
Also as you are coming from KK, you 'might' need to flash a stock Lollipop ROM first to update the bootloader from KK to LP, read RR topic, see if its mentioned or not. If its not then you probably don't need to, but as I said no idea.
Hello,
I've been trying to find a way to flash the new radios that came with 6.0.
I flashed cyanogenmod when I was still on 5.x so I never updated with the official rom. I went from cm12 to cm13.
I there any way to extract the radio from the canadian OTA and flash it without going completely back to stock?
Thansk!
Don't Know what I am doing wrong. This is my forth phone I've rooted and installed custom roms. I just upgraded from lollypop to Marshmellow, I was running moar rom on lollypop, no problems.
After I upgraded I lost root access so I re-rooted. But now I can not seem to have success on installing a new rom, I've tried two different roms. I follow the instructions and it begins to load and just sits there, even after a good 20 minutes or so. I'm figuring I'm missing something here, please help. My stasts: ,Sprint carreir, model sm-G900P, build MMB29M.G900PVPU3CPCA

Duh! That's why i said he can't flash lp rom with mm bootloader and modem.
Ok, sorry for being such a dumb ass, but can someone walk me through this. I only know enough to be a total danger to myself and don't want to really f something up that I can't fix.
