Hi
My Question Like In Title : Is Upgrading From (23.1.a.1.28) To (23.4.A.0.546) Remove Root ?! Yes Or No ?
If Yes I Have (23.1.a.1.28) With Root How Can I Upgrade To (23.4.A.0.546) With Root ?
Thanks Alot​
Yes. Performing an OTA will always remove root or it wont work when your phone is rooted. Try downloading the prfcreator (search forum) and xperifirm. Then follow the given steps an creats a prerooted flashable rom .zip.
Cheers
1.Download a pre-rooted firmware 5.1.1 (flashable zip)
2.Boot into Recovery (TWRP Recommend)
3.Install - Choose ROM direction - flash the ROM zip and wipe cache\dalvik cache
(don't worry this won't wipe your data)
# I highly recommend you to do a factory reset after flashing because if you didn't the phone will be laggy and battery will drain extremely fast
*And If you have xposed installed don't forget to remove it because it may causes problems
If I Helped, Leave A Thanks ?

I wanted someone to look over what i am doing as i'm not 100% if this is correct.
I currently have the wolfbreak rom CM 6.1.3 V4.5.7 with Camcorder installed.
The battery life is really horrible and it was recommend that a "reflash to the latest 2.1 ROM" would possible fix this problem. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945264 - under trouble shooting)
Since i have busybox and xRecovery installed already, if i want to reflash back to the 2.1 ROM do I simply:
1) Download the Rogers branded from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733
In xRecovery
2) do a Factory Reset
3) Wipe Cache Partition,
4) Wipe Dalvik Cache
5) Wipe Battery Stats
6) Using xRecovery, install Custom Zip and choose the rogers branded file
Am I missing any steps inbetween that i need to bring myself back to the original ROM?
If this is wrong, could someone link me to the instructions. I've tried searching but I couldn't find something like this answered
Thanks for all your help in advance.
I think, you need Flash tool .2.8 for flashing the Stock Rom
Download the Flash tool .2.8
Download the Stock Rom (rogers)
Flash it !

i have official stock ics 4.1.b.0.587 rooted with locked bootloader and recovery from SE tweak installer
do i need to flach any kernel ?
and what's the full procedure to install the rom without problems(because some people have problems with locked bootloader)?

Normally it should work with your version .587 but I'm not sure. With .431 it worked, I think.
Just follow the instructions, no need to flash kernel:
Make a nandroid backup first!!!!!
1. Copy the ROM to your SDCard
2. You must do a Full Wipe in CWM (System/Data/Cache/Dalvik-Cache)!
- Format Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache
- Format System
3. Flash ROM in the Recovery
4. Reboot & enjoy
!First boot is loooooong!
Don't know, but if it will be installed with aroma installer, you navigate with the volume keys and slect with home button. Select your device (IMPORTANT THAT IT'S YOURS!) and select locked bootloader, then it should work. That's only if there's aroma installer...
Use with kamarush kernel for optimum performance..

Hi,
This is the way to use Xposed on lollipop 5.0.2 (14.5.A.0.242) without bootloop on Odexed Rom.
No need to wipe cache and dalvik on every boot.
Tested On 6802 with locked Bootloader.
instruction:
1- flash PRF 14.5.A.0.242 with dualrecovery & First boot.
2- reboot in recovery and Wipe Cache and davilk,
3- flash this files from this topic.
4- Reboot into system, Install the .apk of Xposed for Lollipop
5- Reboot again in recovery and just flash the .zip of Xposed.
And now, no bootloop after each reboot
Thanks to @xander59

I can vouch this method works very well but I needed a lot of stuff that was deleted. So after you flash the firmware, dont boot but use a recovery file manager. Manually delete folders of most apps listed in the same thread as OP posted. and make sure you reboot after every install of an app and xposed module for first 10-20 times. In this way, you will know what you just installed that gave you boot loop and you can just delete the file through recovery instead of restoring nadroid backup. I have nandroid backup ready just in case and sometimes just installing two apps from play store gave me a bootloop and when i installed the same apps after a reboot of each other, they worked fine. Anyone wondering the apps were maps and gmail.
Yes, now with the discover of @ondrejvaroscak here, it's probably more safe to delete the apps that you don't use instead of remove all the apps of the script

I think that generally safe is also using the debloaters or debloated ROM that guys made, because these are thoroughly tested. Its more matter of preference. I made my research just because I was curious about what is behind bootloops..

Hi all!
I'm a new user of i9100
I already rooted my phone and got cwm 3.75 (with touch)
now I want to install CM13
I ready losts of post about upgrade and I generate few steps for this
1. backup
2. install recovery for kk
3. install kernel for kk
4. re-partition
5. flash CM13
6. flash gapps v.6
7. flash TWRP for CM13
is this way correct?
ps. my english isn't good, sorry
Hi
Best way is to stick to the thread by @gsstudios : " (Guide) ( Noobfriendly) Want to update to Cm 13? Read this first!
Many new users made 2 mistakes you should avoid:
1) they did not increase the System space to at least 1GB System and 4 GB Date - so they could not install any Gapps
2) they did not install the isorec-Revovery TWRP by @arnab - so they had no useful Revovery (but only the useless CM - recovery)
Which worked for me on 3 Devices:
1) Backup
2) flash pitfile 1GB System 4 GB data and the gustavo kernel (which includes CWM Recovery)
3) Do not forget to format in CWM recovery
4) Then make a clean flash and install CM 13 and the Gapps (open gapps pico) AND the isorec-recovery TWRP [email protected] ALL IN ONE GO - TO NOT REBOOT IN BETWEEN-
5) Reboot system and enjoy
