Is there any way to downgrade ASPs? I suppose it's not as simple as finding a previous ASP and flashing it over, right?
If it's worth noting, I'm using a custom ROM -LineageOS-

Are you talking about stock rom if then flash the stock firmware of older build and if you are talking about Lineage OS then flash previous build of it.

So I am using CM10.1 with CWM recovery. What will I have to do when a new version of Android comes out? (4.2.3 or 5.0)
And will I lose my root access?

Either flash a new ROM that's built on the new version, or go back to stock.

And to flash that ROM, do you have to get new bootloader and baseband or what?
And go back to stock: do you mean to flash the factory image, or can you also get OTA updates by restoring a nandroid backup of the stock rom?
once you are rooted, unlocked and with custom recovery changing ROMs is as simple as puting zip onto your devices' internal storage and flashing it through recovery. you COULD be asked to flash a newer radio version, however it is not that common.
no OTA when rooted, going back to stock only with facotry images.
anyway 5.0 will be availabale on custom ROMs shortly after or even before official google OTA so no need to unroot.

So when 5.0 comes out, I just have to wait a day and flash a new CM version without flashing a new bootloader or radio?
And will it directly be stable?

Android 5.0 is far away by now, and nobody can tell you yet about stability
i´m sure it will get announced, just check the CM thread and read about (possible) bugs

As long as you read threads properly you'll know whether or not anything extra needs to be flashed. Even if there is something you need to flash in the future, it should be fairly easy. Normally a flashable .zip is released soon after the official release so you won't even need a PC. Personally I think it's useless to worry about it right now.

Radios and boot loaders are completely separate from ROMs. You have to specifically flash a radio or boot loader separately. But no, you should not need to flash them but it would be worthwhile if a newer version came out

I am a bit scared of flashing bootloader and baseband, because I read someone who flashed a wrong one and his phone completely got bricked. Some other guy said in that thread why would you manually flash a bootloader..

If I restore my Nandroid backup of 4.2.2 stock ROM, am I able to get OTA update? (I dont care if I would lose root, the question is if its possible ) or is it impossible since I am running CWM recovery?

I just got that notice. Since I am on a custom ROM, I will ignore it.

ok.. so? its not like you can update your phone via ota anyways. but why are you still on 5.0(.1)? dont you want your phone to work better? update your rom, lol.
My ROM is still on 5.1 because I lost my kitchen software due to a dead laptop. I expect to transition to 6 in future.
But don't you still have TWRP or some other custom recovery? If your on a custom rom, updating doesn't really use your computer?

Updating a personal ROM require PC software to update it. Of course, not to flash other ROMs.
I simply need to have:
1- Stock, rooted Android (I use Xposed Framework for customization)
2- Security Patches without having to flash system.img and reroot every month. (i.e. Flashable zip or even by flashing the latest version of a ROM)
The solution needs to be either automated or even involving custom ROM but it needs to be as near-stock as possible (so I can use Xposed).
Any ideas?
PS. I'm already rooted and unlocked. I just need to take the new update without redoing everything every month or so.
Can't happen. Cannot flash OTA without Stock Unrooted Image, and stock recovery.

I already know that. Hence, I post on XDA for solutions.
"The solution needs to be either automated or even involving near-stock custom ROM"
I need the expertise of XDA members to simplify the process for me, and I'm sure, thousands of others as well.
There aren't any custom ROMS available that provide their own OTAs for the Nexus 6P. Only thing similar is VipreRom for the HTC series.

It doesn't have to be OTA. I just need to be able to install the security patches in an easy way, either by flashing the latest update of a ROM, or simply by flashing a zip that contains the latest security patches. I can live with that every month, it's no biggy.

Cannot be accomplished without reverting to stock and no root.
Hey guys, everything I've read has said once you update beyond 4.3 you can never go back down because of knox. I also saw someone mention you actually can downgrade to a custom ROM based on a previous build just not to stock. Can anyone clarify this for me? I'm not worried about breaking my warranty since it's long since expired. I'm on the rooted 5.01 Goldeneye ROM and want to go back to a 4.2 ROM. strictly for tethering purposes
What is the model # for the s4?
It's the AT&T sgh-i337
With a locked bootloader, the phone is limited to customs roms based off a stock Samsung rom. Aosp and cm will not install or run.

Thanks for the reply! So if I stick to TouchWiz based custom roms I can downgrade without bricking my phone?
Yes, just don't touch the bootloader or modem.

Ok thanks. Can you suggest a good 4.2 ROM? Also, since I'm already rooted with safestrap, do I just wipe and flash the new ROM or do I need to install a different version of safestrap and kernal etc? I'm have trouble finding any instructions on how to downgrade. I appreciate all your help!
I can't recommend any 4.2 roms as I don't have the phone. Also, I don't think such an old rom will work on an lp modem and bootloader.

Ok so based on your statement "I don't think such an old rom will work on a lp modem and bootloader," does that mean you actually don't think I can downgrade?
You can try but I don't think you will have a functioning phone in that the imei will not be properly displayed which means the phone wouldn't be able to connect to the carrier.

Hi,
I am running the Android N firmware on Athene: Custom Rom RR_5.8.0
I was playing around with dual boot, and successfully, but I only tried the 7.0/7.1.1 custom ROMs.
Could I flash MM custom ROM to dual boot, or simply put, can I downgrade to a MM ROM without messing with the N firmware, with and without dualboot on separate occasions or do I need to flash stock MM?
Does it sort of have a backwards compatibility?
What sort of risks will I be looking at?
Thanks in advance, this community is wonderful!

Theoretically, the ROMs should not have any issue.

From what I've seen, ONE person had some issue with fingerprint recognition on MM after flashing an N ROM. Otherwise, I've encountered nobody who has had issues.
